Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

Where did you two go?

"It's so hot at that Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Wu Hao and I went there, and we were almost roasted to a crisp."

Inside the small attic.

Hu Jia was unaware that Xiao Xun'er had almost been taken away. She sat to the side with her face flushed, fanning her cheeks with her fair hands while muttering something.

"And the three of us almost made a fool of ourselves when we went in." Hu Jia was naturally outgoing, and the five of them, living in the same small attic, gradually became familiar with each other.

While this girl may seem like a troublemaker in the outer courtyard, with an arrogant and domineering demeanor, she is actually exceptionally sensible, especially in front of people like Xiao Yan, where she knows how to restrain herself.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so frightened that she confessed her feelings to Xiao Yan that day.

"The Heavenly Refining Qi Tower requires first-time visitors to undergo a process called 'Heart Fire Scorching.' If it weren't for the senior students around us calling Elder Liu to protect us, we would probably have been burned to a crisp," Hu Jia said exaggeratedly.

"It is said that the longer one can endure the scorching heat of the heart, the faster one's cultivation speed will be inside the tower in the future. I lasted for seventeen minutes, and Wu Hao lasted for sixteen minutes..."

"But Sister Little Fairy Doctor persisted for a full two hours, leaving those guys dumbfounded. Even Elder Liu was quite astonished and said he would report it."

"It's so-so..."

Little Fairy Doctor sat lazily on the bench, her clear and beautiful eyes glancing at Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er. She fiddled with her gray-purple fingernails and said leisurely, "But speaking of which, the flame's amplification of cultivation is indeed exaggerated. I went straight to the bottom level, used the No. 2 cultivation room, and cultivated for only one day. The bottleneck that had been stuck for so long was loosened again."

"You can try it when you have time. Most importantly, I feel that the flame... is somewhat similar to the Fallen Heart Flame, which is ranked fourteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking."

"Well……"

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. "I understand."

However, his focus was not on the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, but rather on the beauty's gradually changing appearance, and he frowned slightly.

"The seal can't hold it back anymore?"

The girl's nails gradually turned grayish-purple, and her hair color gradually changed from jet black to silver-white, like the Milky Way cascading down her shoulders. Her temperament became increasingly ethereal, yet also increasingly aloof.

“My appearance changed before our second meeting. In other words, I’ve been like this for a long time. You didn’t just notice today, did you?” Little Fairy Doctor said calmly.

Xiao Yan: "..."

You're going to suffer.

He really only discovered it today...

But you can't blame him. Back in the Black Corner Region, this girl always wore a white veil to cover her face, and he was busy refining pills every day.

It wasn't until I had some free time today that I noticed something was wrong.

"..."

Hu Jia and Wu Hao exchanged a glance, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes. The seal? Unable to suppress it?

What does "又" mean?

I always felt that there was a shocking secret hidden between the two of them.

"I am a body with a calamity-inducing poison. Xiao Yan placed a seal within my body to prevent the poison from fully erupting and becoming uncontrollable..." Little Fairy Doctor spoke leisurely without any attempt to conceal her identity.

"Gurgle..."

Hu Jia's face turned pale, and she quickly covered her ears with her hands, "I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything."

Wu Hao's eye twitched as he stared solemnly at Xiao Yan.

Seeing the other person's calm gaze, she slowly stood up, then slid down to her knees: "Brother Xiao, I promise I won't tell anyone..."

At this point, no statement is too much.

Upon hearing this news, either the other party trusts you enough to risk their lives for you—something they clearly don't—or they're planning to kill you to silence you, so they're not afraid of you finding out...

After all, if the news of the Calamity Poison Body were to be exposed, the number of people coming to kill Little Fairy Doctor would probably fill half of the Black Corner Region.

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, glanced at Xiao Yixian, who was lightly covering her red lips and whose pale purple eyes were full of teasing, and pulled Wu Hao up.

"We're all brothers, why be like this?"

He leaned closer to Wu Hao's ear and said, "Of course, if there are any rumors circulating within Canaan Academy... then I'll have to come looking for you."

"Pfft."

Wu Hao's legs went weak, and he knelt down again.

With tears welling up in his eyes, he said, "Brother, stop playing with me. You know what kind of person I am, Wu Hao. I've always been loyal, righteous, and a man of my word."

After calming Wu Hao down, Xiao Yan glanced at Little Fairy Doctor, this time with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"What exactly happened?"

"The seal remains secure. Since your last encounter, I haven't been able to push myself any further. If anything were wrong with my body, I would definitely come to you," Little Fairy Doctor said honestly, sitting up straighter.

She was a little intimidated when Xiao Yan got serious.

I gave her a good spanking that day, and I still blush when I think about it now.

"It's just a normal reaction of the Calamity Poison Body. As long as I ingest poison, or the Netherworld Poison Fire you gave me, my body will develop towards the full strength of the Calamity Poison Body. This is uncontrollable..."

Little Fairy Doctor explained.

Xiao Yan ignored her and walked straight up to her, grabbing her fair wrist. The beauty obediently lay back on the chair, letting him do as he pleased.

"Does the Fallen Heart Flame help your Calamity Poison Body?" he asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, I don't know why it has a certain suppressive effect," Little Fairy Doctor said softly.

Chapter 97 The Inside Story of the Ancient Clan; Ancient Truth, Ancient Demon...

ancient world.

This is a mysterious world, as if it were in the sky, always shrouded in endless clouds and mist, like a fairyland. Moreover, the spiritual energy of this world is as rich as the ocean compared to the outside world. If an ordinary person is lucky enough to cultivate here, one day here is enough to be equivalent to several months in the outside world.

This place is filled with countless precipitous mountains. In an instant, several figures will flash across the sky, and the powerful aura they exude would probably make many people outside stop and watch. However, everyone here remains calm and busy with their own affairs, as if they are used to seeing such high-level experts who are rarely seen in the outside world.

Beneath the clouds and mist lies an extremely precipitous mountain peak, which, like a giant sword, pierces the sky. Looking up, one can only see the swirling clouds and mist, making it difficult to discern its summit.

At the summit of a mountain shrouded in mist, there is a perfectly round boulder.

A simple courtyard was built on top of it.

With its blue-tiled roofs, stone platform, and lush greenery, it resembles an ordinary household.

Inside the courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in gray linen clothes and with an ordinary face lay leisurely. Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, as if he had noticed something, and finally raised his head to glance at the gate of the small courtyard.

The once peaceful space was suddenly rippled, as if it had been forcibly torn apart by an invisible hand.

Immediately, several figures stepped out of the space one after another.

However, the leader was an old man with white hair, his face full of anger and clearly not in a good mood. Behind him was a young man with a strangely handsome face, silver-white hair, and a rather strong figure. The last figure to emerge did not walk out on his own, but was carried on a stretcher by two Black Annihilation Army soldiers, and appeared with an embarrassed expression.

"Clan leader, if you do not punish the Xiao clan members for what happened today, it will be difficult to win over the people."

As soon as the white-haired old man entered the courtyard, his resentment overflowed.

"That piece of trash from the Xiao family crushed my grandson's dantian with a single spear thrust, and that punch destroyed all his meridians. Now he's practically a cripple, yet he still dares to utter such harsh words to my ancient clan. Does he really think that the Xiao clan is still the same Xiao clan that was one of the eight ancient clans back then?"

"..."

Gu Yuan rubbed his forehead, glancing helplessly at Ling Quan, who was lying on the stretcher, his face flushed and timid.

This kid's spirit has obviously been crushed. No wonder he was valued and accepted as a disciple by such a powerful figure. In just two short years, he has gone from being a once impoverished member of the Xiao family to a genius like Ling Quan who has experienced the awakening of the bloodline of an ancient clan.

"I remember... I don't think I asked you to go looking for Xun'er."

Seeing that the elder was still trying to argue, Gu Yuan simply frowned and said coldly.

“But…” the white-haired elder still tried to argue.

"You took it upon yourselves to make a big deal out of what I said at the clan meeting a few days ago. You took my words too seriously. I only said that I would bring Xun'er back in a while, but I never said that it was right now, today."

Seeing the elder's face flushed red, Gu Yuan showed no politeness: "Moreover, to put it another way, a deputy commander of the Black Annihilation Army, a four-star Dou Huang powerhouse, who grew up in this spiritual energy bubble, actually managed to beat a kid from that remote corner of the Northwest Continent, a place devoid of spiritual energy, into such a state. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

"How dare you come here to complain to me? If this gets out, where will my ancient clan's reputation be?"

Gu Yuan's tone hardened.

Even though the white-haired elder was a Dou Sheng powerhouse, his face twitched. After all, it was indeed his grandson who was in the wrong first. The ancient race was not as ruthless and unreasonable as the Soul Race. Among the eight ancient races, they were the most respectable. If the other eight ancient races knew about this, they would probably be laughed at so hard they couldn't lift their heads.

"Then, Quan'er suffered for nothing?"

The white-haired old man looked indignant. His grandson's dantian had been destroyed. Although the ancient clan had many rare and precious materials, and it was only a matter of time before it was restored, it was still a huge blow to the ancient clan's prodigy, who was talented enough to challenge the commander of the Black Annihilation Army and even the commander-in-chief, the Black Annihilation King, in the future.

Time is the most precious thing.

Even if it's only delayed by one or two years, it's enough to put them far behind other disciples of the same level from ancient clans.

"The ancient clans do not allow elders at the Dou Sheng realm to leave the territory at will, but those below the Dou Sheng realm are allowed to," Gu Yuan said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Clan leader, I would like to make a trip to Zhongzhou in a few days," Gu Yao said softly, bowing slightly.

"Hahaha, approved..."

Gu Yuan laughed heartily, glanced at the white-robed elder, and patted his shoulder: "Let the children handle their own affairs. If Ling Quan seriously injures the Xiao clan boy today, I won't say anything either."

"But if you're not as skilled as others, you can only accept it."

The ancient demon broke through space and left the clan leader's residence.

Just as he was about to head to his own courtyard, he suddenly stopped, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, staring straight ahead.
