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

Only the Central Plains can nurture beings of this caliber. It would be difficult for the remote Northwest Continent to cultivate such geniuses.

In a way, she could be considered a native of Zhongzhou.

However, its location is considered remote and secluded in the Central Plains, but even so, its vision is exceptionally high, and it has seen many disciples from the Central Plains with extraordinary talents.

Therefore, although she was shocked by this 20-something-year-old fifth-grade alchemist, she quickly calmed down, unlike the other inner court disciples who were dumbfounded and incredulous. A hint of fervor and gentleness flashed in her beautiful eyes, indicating that she needed to cultivate a good relationship with him.

A fifth-grade alchemist might break through to the sixth grade in the next few years.

For someone like her, a six-star Dou Ling who is about to break through to the Dou Wang realm, she is extremely important and cannot be offended.

"What are you all looking at? Get back to your cultivation! If you came to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower just to watch the show, then get back here as soon as possible." Elder Liu waved his sleeve, dispersing the inner courtyard disciples who were watching.

These guys kept staring at Xiao Xun'er, unaware of how monstrous the boy beside her was, capable of crushing a whole bunch of people with a single finger.

The senior students who used to be arrogant among the new students were now as obedient as chicks with their necks being pinched. Xiao Yan chuckled to himself, seeing the various gazes that were either fearful, passionate, or flirtatious, but his expression remained unchanged.

Having traveled all the way from the Gama Empire, he had seen too many such looks, so they didn't stir much in his heart.

Only characters like Han Yue, who have a name and surname in the original work and can even be remembered and described in the later stages, can arouse his interest.

Elder Liu then smiled, clasped his hands in greeting, glanced at Han Yue, made an excuse, and turned to leave, leaving the space to the young people.

"May I ask if Junior Brother Xiao Yan is from Zhongzhou?"

Han Yue asked softly.

"...I guess so."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. After all, it had only been a thousand years since the Xiao clan migrated as a whole. The older generation of the eight ancient clans still remembered the Xiao clan, so it wasn't exactly ancient history. In fact, his ancestors were from Zhongzhou.

"The Pill Tower?" Han Yue pondered for a moment before speaking.

“There is some connection…” Xiao Yan recalled the token given by the Pill Tower Ancestor, which was said to grant entry into the Lesser Pill Tower, and nodded slightly to the Great Song Dynasty.

Han Yue suddenly realized, and seeing Xiao Yan's calm expression, she stopped asking and simply waved her hand with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'm going to cultivate now. Let's work hard together, Junior Brother Xiao Yan!"

Seeing the woman's departing figure, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze.

His throat bobbed, and his eyes showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Xun'er, when did you wake up?"

"Could it be that Brother Xiao Yan really thinks that the Fallen Heart Flame can compare to the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within me?" Beside her, a beautiful girl in a light blue dress, her hair tied in a ponytail, wore a playful smile on her pretty face. She fiddled with her hair and said with a touch of self-pity, "Could it be that Xun'er disturbed Brother Xiao Yan from looking at the beautiful girl? Xun'er is truly guilty. Brother Xiao Yan... won't blame Xun'er, will he?"

Xiao Yan was drenched in sweat.

He tried to explain, "Actually, it's not that. I just feel a little nostalgic when I hear about Zhongzhou. After all, my Xiao clan was once glorious."

"..." Xiao Xun'er paused for a moment.

She naturally knew the truth of what happened back then. She bit her red lips lightly, hugged Xiao Yan's arm, and said, "Xun'er will accompany Brother Xiao Yan to make a comeback and revitalize the Xiao Clan once again."

After the two exchanged sweet nothings, Xiao Yan noticed the numerous Daoist disciples whose faces were flushed red. With a wave of his hand, he extracted the inner fire from their bodies.

"Thank you so much, Sect Master, for saving my life!"

Many Taoist disciples were clearly unaware of what had happened. They only felt a large hand pull them back to reality, and their faces flushed red with excitement.

"Tsk tsk..." Hu Jia secretly scoffed.

She was extremely unhappy about Xiao Yan taking Xun'er away from her.

Grandpa said if the person you like is taken away, then take them back...

As for who to take back, that's not important.

……

The Heavenly Flame Refining Tower has strict rules.

Even powerful figures like Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, who are both Dou Wangs, cannot enter the first level, because only the top ten on the Power Ranking are qualified to enter. Xiao Yan didn't dwell on it; he would find a top ten player on the Power Ranking another day, beat them up, and change their ranking.

He instructed the Taoist disciples to divide themselves into different floors according to their strength and then cultivate there.

He then led Xiao Xun'er, the Little Fairy Doctor, directly to the second floor.

After passing through several floors, the number of people decreased as you went up, until the second floor, where apart from a few tightly closed rooms, the floor was completely empty.

The tower has an empty space in the very center, like a commercial district in the previous life. The closer to the center, the higher the level of the cultivation rooms, most of which are high-level cultivation rooms.

Xiao Yan held onto the armrest and looked down.

The deep black was interspersed with a faint hint of dark red, as if a demon from the abyss was baring its fangs and claws, revealing a creepy smile to him.

Turning our gaze away, we realize that what is suppressed here is not just the Fallen Heart Flame, but one of the greatest secrets of the entire continent.

Once we're stronger, we'll go down and take a look.

Maybe he can even help Ziyan find her father.

He gently squeezed the two beauties' slender hands on either side, and kissed them tenderly. Xiao Xun'er took the initiative, while Little Fairy Doctor let out a soft hum, seemingly twisting her body unwillingly, but secretly sticking out her tongue...

He then stepped directly into one of the advanced cultivation rooms, inserted the fire energy card, felt the gradually rising heat in the room like a steamer, and sat cross-legged on the stone platform in the center to quietly begin his cultivation.

On the other side...

Beneath the entire Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

A giant python, a hundred meters long, with a thick and terrifying body and eyes gleaming with fire, revealed a human-like fear. It huddled tightly under a rock, hesitantly poking its head out to gaze at the empty tower.

Seeing the figure leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, climbed out, and quickly burrowed into a lower place.

That strange fire was terrifying.

Behind the human, it seemed as if three fiery dragons were coiling and flying, ferocious and terrifying, as if they had shaken its soul to the spot, unable to move. Were they human... or gods and demons?

……

Chapter 100 Those legs are so white... Sorry, so can I touch them again? (Second update)

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yan was shirtless, revealing his strong, fair muscles. Upon closer inspection, one could see that he had a broad back, a wasp waist, and mantis legs, quite similar to Yong En's physique in his previous life.

He was fit, but not bulky.

The dark red flames around him swelled and contracted, as if deeply bound to Xiao Yan's aura. The young man's handsome face reflected the firelight, and with each breath he exhaled, round after round of Dou Qi circulated within his meridians, becoming visibly stronger.

In endoscopic vision.

His body was like a furnace at full power, generating a terrifying suction force that drew in countless inner flames. While others suffered from the torment of these inner flames, the inner flames surrounding Xiao Yan exhibited a human-like reaction... fear, and the urge to run...

Don't look back, this is... hell.

The inner fire merely surged into Xiao Yan's body before being completely devoured by the fire and essence fire coiled around him like a hunter waiting for its prey. The fire was swallowed and refined in an instant, leaving him no chance to escape.

In just one month, the threshold for becoming a one-star Douwang has gradually become clearer.

"Om..."

Feeling the increasingly intense Dou Qi within his body, surging and crashing like a tsunami, this was a sign of a breakthrough. He gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, and with the momentum of devouring and refining the Fallen Heart Flame, he made a concerted effort to directly break through to the second star of Dou Wang.

The threshold finally loosened under the impact of the surging waves of battle qi within his body, and then a cracking sound like a chain breaking was heard, and the battle qi within his body surged wildly.

Xiao Yan also opened his eyes at the same time, and curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

"Battle King, two stars..."

He stood up, stretched, and felt his battle qi increase by at least a third. He became increasingly satisfied. No wonder it is said that the higher the cultivation level, the more obvious the difference between each small level.

However, to be fair, the fighting spirit within him is now at least comparable to that of a peak Dou Huang expert, which is probably due to the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique being activated.

Stepping out of the training room, I immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

I glanced down into the abyss again, and everything remained calm and peaceful.

He glanced at Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor's Qi Refining Room. The two were obviously still cultivating. He possessed three kinds of strange fire, plus the Samadhi True Fire. His speed of absorbing heart fire was dozens of times that of ordinary people. Even with these two cheat codes, it would be difficult for them to compare with him.

After a moment's hesitation, they each left a letter in front of their doors and walked straight out of the tower.

He still needs to find Zi Yan.

That gluttonous dragon should be easy to find.

All you need is... a few traps.

……

Return to the Taoist sect.

After a month of cultivation, many new disciples of the Daoist sect have gradually become familiar with the living environment of the inner courtyard, and have begun to take on missions and compete with other forces.

However, as freshmen, most of them were Dou Shi, but their overall strength improved rapidly after joining the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. There were only a few Great Dou Shi. Hu Jia and Wu Hao broke through to the fifth-star Great Dou Shi in succession, while Xiao Ning broke through to the second-star Great Dou Shi. Xiao Yu was slightly inferior, but he also broke through to the Great Dou Shi. Everyone was all smiles and treated him with great respect.

Clearly, without the exploitation of senior students, everyone's freshman period was much easier.

Other forces also coveted the new life, but because of the three Dou Wangs in the Daoist sect and the performance of Xiao Yan and others in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower a few days ago, they abandoned their plans to make trouble for themselves and behaved themselves.

"Where are Xun'er and the others?"

Xiao Yu coughed softly and glanced at Xiao Yan's side, but there was no one there.

"They are still cultivating in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower..." Xiao Yan smiled and leaned lazily against the wall, speaking leisurely. For experts above the Dou Wang level, even if they stay in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower for a year or two, nothing will go wrong. But for Dou Ling experts, they have to come out every four or five days, or once a week, to resolve the internal fire in their hearts. Otherwise, being roasted for too long will also cause problems.

As for the Great Dou Masters, new Dou Masters cannot stay in the tower for more than one day and must be supervised by their mentors.
