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

Before him stretched an endless river filled with spiritual energy, with a small, pitch-black boat drifting leisurely on it. Strangely enough, there was only a young man dressed in simple blue clothes on the boat.

"Gu Zhen? It's actually you?"

Gu Yao frowned slightly: "What do you want with me?"

"I heard you just came from the clan leader's place. You just came to ask how the clan leader plans to handle the Lingquan matter," Gu Zhen said with a smile.

Clearly, the moment Ling Quan was brought back to the Ancient Realm, news of his severe injuries and inability to defeat Xiao Yan spread throughout the entire Ancient Clan. Many young disciples of the Ancient Clan were astonished by this and eager to try their luck.

"Elders are not allowed to get involved in this matter. Only disciples of ancient clans of the same age are allowed. However... it's too low-class to bully a Dou Wang. I'll make my move when he advances to Dou Zun or catches up with me."

Gu Yao spoke calmly.

"A mere Dou Wang could beat Ling Quan so badly that even if Ling Quan is a hothouse flower who hasn't undergone blood refinement, he's still a rare opponent in the same realm. Aren't you curious?" Gu Zhen laughed.

"...It has nothing to do with me." Gu Yao frowned slightly and shook his head.

"I am confident in my own cultivation level, which is far superior to that good-for-nothing Lingquan. Moreover, my ancient clan has the bloodline of Dou Di. Below the Dou Sheng realm, advancing in realm is as easy as drinking water. If I can't even compare to a kid whose Dou Di bloodline has been destroyed, I might as well just kill myself."

After saying that, he glanced at Gu Zhen and said in a slightly strange tone, "You're not planning to go and cause trouble for that kid right now, are you?"

"Of course not now. As you said, it's pointless to bully a Dou Wang, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future." Gu Zhen smiled calmly. "When he becomes a Dou Zun, I will personally visit him and reason with him. My Gu Clan's daughter is not someone he is qualified to touch."

Gu Zhen spoke calmly.

Ripples spread across the lake's surface.

A powerful aura surged from within him, and Gu Yao's pupils constricted sharply: "You actually broke through to the Dou Zun level too?"

……

Chapter 98 Han Yue: How could you treat human life so lightly! Han Yue: Sorry, my voice was a little loud just now...

"Heavenly Flame Refining Tower".

Xiao Yan looked at the tall tower in front of him, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. What was suppressed at the bottom of the tower was the Fallen Heart Flame.

Although acquiring a strange fire does not directly increase one's cultivation level, it is extremely powerful in terms of combat strength.

His current combat strength is comparable to that of an ordinary Dou Zong expert.

Outside the tower, a bustling crowd had gathered, with many disciples waiting for the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to open. The numerous new students and disciples joining the Daoist sect who were huddled around Xiao Yan also attracted a lot of attention.

All of these attacks landed on Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, and Xiao Yi Xian, who were at the forefront.

The last woman in white lasted a full two hours on her first visit to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Her terrifying cultivation level had already caused a stir yesterday. It was said that she had the cultivation of a Dou Wang (Battle King). Although it was puzzling that a freshman could have the cultivation of a Dou Wang, what was even more puzzling was yet to come...

According to Luo Hou's message, there are three Battle Kings among this year's freshmen.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the inner courtyard in just a few days.

Therefore, to this day, no one dares to cause trouble for these newcomers; instead, they all try to find out the background of this group of newcomers.

My liver is trembling.

"Let's go..."

As a clear bell rang from the tower, the gate slowly opened, and countless inner courtyard disciples poured in. Xiao Yan waved his hand, signaling the Daoist disciples behind him to follow.

The moment I entered the tower, I felt a hidden fire silently creeping into my body.

Xiao Yan's lips curled up, and the three strange flames around him no longer suppressed in the slightest. In particular, the € flame transformed into a dragon, suddenly opening its blood-red maw and swallowing it whole. Those heart flames instantly collapsed and fled all over the body, but were all caught by the € flame and devoured bit by bit.

"Hiss~"

After he dealt with the fire in his heart, many Taoist disciples behind him stiffened, their bodies emitting hissing sounds of burning flames.

Even Xiao Xun'er was not spared from being affected, her body stiffening on the spot, her beautiful eyes glazed over.

Only Little Fairy Doctor, Wu Hao, and the others remained calm.

"Let's go invite Elder Liu... Hey, Xiao Yan, when did you sneak here behind our backs?" Hu Jia said playfully, intending to tease Xiao Yan who was controlled by the Heart Fire, but her beautiful eyes were filled with horror as she saw Xiao Yan standing there as if nothing had happened.

"This is my first time too." Xiao Yan chuckled, slowly opening his palm. A dark yellow flame, slightly dimmed, burned obediently in his palm, surrounded by miniature flames of three colors, which suppressed it fiercely.

"So this is the Heart Fire you spoke of? It is indeed quite interesting. If one is not careful, one might actually fall into its trap."

"monster."

Hu Jia made a subtle, sarcastic remark.

"I am a fire controller. If I can't even handle this, what kind of alchemist am I?" Xiao Yan said calmly. "There's no need to call the elders over. I will take action when they can't hold on any longer."

"You are very strong, but how can you treat your classmate's life like a game?"

A voice tinged with anger rang out from the side.

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. He turned his head and saw a woman dressed in a silver-white brocade dress, with a slender face, exquisite looks, and a cold temperament like the cold moon, angrily leading Elder Liu over.

"If you don't seek help from the elders in this kind of situation, what if you don't seize the right moment or are unable to expel the inner fire from their bodies? That could cause them to explode and die," Han Yue said angrily.

Xiao Yan: "..."

Hesitant to speak.

But it cannot be denied that this girl's original intention was good; she is a very kind child.

Elder Liu, clearly aware of the situation, smiled and stopped Han Yue from continuing her attack. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yan with a rather amiable expression: "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. I have rarely seen a Dou Wang of this age in my entire life, let alone one who possesses three different flames and whose control over flames is unparalleled. Even Elder Huo would probably be slightly inferior..."

It wasn't that he publicly belittled Elder Huo.

Instead, that old guy himself admitted that his alchemy skills were not just a step above Xiao Yan's, but far inferior. Not to mention his fire control skills, this little guy was like a god of fire descended to earth, able to easily make three different kinds of strange fire coexist peacefully in his body. If it were an ordinary person, let alone strange fire, even ordinary beast fire would explode instantly.

Now that they were slightly inferior, they actually praised Elder Huo.

Han Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed suddenly, and she looked at Elder Liu in surprise. She had been on a mission outside for the past few days and had only recently returned to the inner courtyard. She had not heard any news of any new disciples reaching the Dou Wang realm, which was why she felt so disgusted with Xiao Yan's actions, thinking that he was treating human life like dirt.

But I never expected...

Elder Liu actually said that this young man's fire control technique was even stronger than that of Elder Huo, the top alchemist in the inner courtyard.

How could a newcomer to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower possibly...

"Elder Liu, you're too kind," Xiao Yan said with a warm smile.

Many inner court disciples who were deliberately dawdling and waiting to watch the show were stunned, their expressions somewhat astonished. As expected of Elder Liu's praise for his powerful fire control technique, he was able to force out his inner fire on his first entry into the tower. Even ordinary Dou Huang experts might not be able to do that.

"And young friend Xiao Yan is... an alchemist?" Elder Liu coughed lightly and hesitated before speaking.

"good."

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

"Then could you help me refine a pill? Master Xiao Yan, rest assured, I know all the rules..." Master Liu's throat bobbed, a hint of wild joy flashed in his eyes, and he leaned closer to Xiao Yan and whispered.

"What grade of pill?" Xiao Yan asked.

"A fifth-grade peak pill, the Battle Spirit Pill, even Elder Huo has difficulty refining it." Under the astonished gazes of many disciples, Elder Liu, who was usually aloof, now wore a smile that was almost fawning.

"Okay." Xiao Yan remained silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

For him, fifth-grade pills are no longer a burden, as they can be produced in just half a day. Moreover, since he has decided to expand his future power through Canaan Academy, building good relationships is naturally a necessary condition.

He had no reason to refuse this request.

"These are the medicinal herbs I prepared in advance, five portions in total. If you have finished refining the pills, you are welcome to come to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to find me. I am the elder in charge of looking after this place." Elder Liu handed a storage ring to Xiao Yan, revealing a bright smile.

By the end, his tone had become respectful.

When dealing with a seventh-grade alchemy master, using age and seniority as leverage is the most foolish thing to do. This continent only values ​​strength...

“Of course.” Xiao Yan also smiled.

Only Han Yue remained, disheveled in the wind.

no……

Isn't he a freshman?

How could someone of Elder Liu's caliber, a Battle King, possibly seek him out for alchemy?!

Even the Fire Elder was slightly inferior in the art of fire control.

Could it be that Elder Liu was joking?

Or is he serious?

This guy is actually a... fifth-grade alchemist?!

P.S.: I'm taking a day off, so there will only be two updates.

Chapter 99 Fallen Heart Flame: It's Too Terrifying to Believe (First Update)

It's important to understand that throughout the entire Inner Academy, numerous heroes and geniuses abound, but even the Medicine Clan, the most famous disciple organization within the Inner Academy, has a strongest alchemist, Han Xian, who is only a fourth-grade alchemist...

What is the concept of the fifth rank?

He was a figure worthy of the same esteem as Elder Huo, someone whom no one in the inner courtyard dared to provoke, and whom even the Grand Elder Su Qian would give some face to.

What's even more terrifying is that he was just a newly admitted disciple of the inner academy.

Could it be...?

Han Yue's throat bobbed, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. Was she also a prodigy from Zhongzhou?
