Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

(The romance scenes might be too awkward to write.)

Call ~

Xiao Li didn't know how long he had been cultivating before he slowly opened his eyes. At present, his realm was at the peak of Great Dou Shi. He could break through to Dou Ling in a few days to half a year.

Xiao Li stood up and stretched, smiling as he watched the fighting spirit slowly rising within him.

Cultivation is truly fascinating.

"You're awake? Then please sit down," came Old Wang's voice.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Li looked over and saw a young girl standing next to Yun Shan. This girl was extremely beautiful, with a serene and charming face that also carried a touch of elegance and nobility. She was sure to become a stunning beauty in the future.

"Cough cough."

Yunshan coughed and looked at Xiao Li with a dark expression. He had just finished cultivating and was staring at his disciple. What a brat!

Yun Yun looked at Xiao Li with curiosity, pondering a question: why was this boy, who looked to be about the same age as her, so much more powerful than her?

Xiao Li awkwardly scratched his cheek, then obediently sat down next to Old Wang.

"That old man from Yunshan is so stingy! It's just looking at your disciple, why are you glaring at me like that? Can't I even appreciate how beautiful that girl is?"

"Li'er, this girl is Yun Yun, the esteemed disciple of Sect Master Yun. You are about the same age, why don't you get to know each other?" Old Wang said with a smile.

Listening to Old Wang's introduction, Xiao Li looked at Yun Yun, and Yun Yun also looked at Xiao Li at this moment.

"My name is Xiao Li, and I greet the young sect leader," Xiao Li said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Yunyun greets Master Xiao," Yunyun said, her hands clasped together.

Both sides were very polite. Xiao Li was a disciple of a sixth-grade alchemist and a fourth-grade alchemist, deserving the title of master in the Jia Ma Empire.

Although Yun Yun is still young, she is the true young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

After they got to know each other, that was the end of it. They sat down next to their respective teachers without saying a word.

Yunshan & Wang Ming: ...

"Ahem, Li'er, you are now a nine-star Great Dou Master, and it will only take you half a year to break through to Dou Ling."

Meanwhile, Sect Master Yun's disciple is going to continue training in the Monster Mountain Range for another six months, and you will be in charge of training her during this period.

"Your master and Sect Master Yun have important matters to attend to. Remember, you must not provoke the powerful figures of the Monster Mountain Range! Remember this!"

Old Wang gave Yunshan some instructions for what to do next, and Yunshan nodded with a dark face.

As for why Yunshan agreed to Elder Wang's decision, it was because Elder Wang offered too much! Elder Wang quoted a price of one Imperial Pill.

The Imperial Extreme Pill is a top-grade sixth-rank pill. Its function is simple: it can allow a Dou Huang powerhouse to increase their level by one to two stars in a relatively short period of time. Moreover, the Imperial Extreme Pill has another function: strengthening the body and bones. The residual medicinal power after the power is increased will help the person who takes it to strengthen their body once more.

Although Master Wang's success rate in refining the Imperial Elixir is not high now, he has indeed succeeded in refining it before.

Yunshan has never taken the Imperial Extreme Pill before. Any Dou Huang would be attracted to the Imperial Extreme Pill.

But Yunshan was a shrewd old fox. He knew his precious disciple was probably doomed, so he raised the price! He added another Rank 6 Imperial Wind Spirit Pill.

Mr. Wang: Deal!

. . . . . .

After giving his instructions, Old Wang gave Yunshan a look, then transformed his fighting spirit into wings and left.

Yunshan's face darkened, but he quickly composed himself and said to Yunyun, "Yun'er, Master Wang and I have some things to take care of. You should train with Xiao Xiao and follow his arrangements."

"Young friend Xiao Li, Yun'er's safety is in your hands. If she gets hurt, you know the consequences!"

Xiao Li quickly bowed and said, "This junior will definitely take good care of the young sect leader!"

Whoosh!

The next moment, Yunshan also unfolded his battle qi wings and flew away.

Only Xiao Li and Yun Yun remained in the cave, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Ahem, well, Young Sect Master, let's not stand here. Let's sit down. It's not too late to rest for a day before going on our training," Xiao Li said with a cough.

Yunyun is still not quite sure what happened. How could the teacher just leave like that? Her training isn't finished yet.

Xiao Li scratched his head. He really didn't know how to find topics to talk about, so he might as well do his own thing. Since he had been assigned by the teacher to protect Yun Yun, he should make sure to do a thorough job of preparation.

Xiao Li took out the Blue Flame Cauldron, and then took out some medicinal herbs he had collected, preparing to refine medicine.

"Are you trying to concoct medicine?" Yun Yun asked, watching Xiao Li's series of actions.

"Um."

"I just heard President Wang say that you have the cultivation of a nine-star Grand Dou Master? How old are you this year? You don't look much older than me," Yun Yun continued to ask.

"Fifteen, almost sixteen."

"I'm fourteen. You're only a year older than me? Yet your cultivation level is so much higher than mine." Yun Yun felt somewhat frustrated because she had displayed amazing talent since she started cultivating.

Yunshan often praised her, saying that she would surpass the previous sect leaders of Yunlan Sect in the future.

"It's all thanks to my teacher's guidance; I've never run out of elixirs. Even so, my talent is only so-so in the center of that continent."

Xiao Li shrugged and said that he believed he had some talent, but he was not worthy of being called a genius. He might be overthrown one day. Anyway, he was just here to lie low and wait for Xiao Yan to rise.

The genius corrector is Xiao Yan; all he needs to do is take care of himself in his old age.

"I heard from my teacher that the Northwest Continent is barren, while the Central Plains is where geniuses gather. Our Yunlan Sect's founder, Venerable Potian, came from the Central Plains."

"I will take Ancestor Potian as my goal and lead Yunlan Sect to a new peak!" Yun Yun's eyes seemed to be filled with flames.

"Then I wish you good luck. As for me, I also have things I want to accomplish. You want to defend your sect, and I want to protect my family. In that case, our goals are quite similar. Let's strive together!"

Xiao Li said with a smile that the Xiao family is his home now, and it is a good home. He does not want any evil spirits to destroy it.

"mutual encouragement!"

Xiao Li smiled. Little Yunyun was indeed adorable. He then placed the medicinal herbs into the Blue Flame Cauldron, released purple flames from his right hand, and began refining pills.

"By the way, Young Sect Master..."

Yun Yun interrupted Xiao Li, saying, "Calling me Young Sect Master is too formal. Just call me Yun'er. Master Xiao is a year older than me, so may I address you as Brother Xiao Li?"

"Is that so? Of course, that's fine. Don't treat me like some kind of master. I'm not worthy of that title. Let's just be equals," Xiao Li said with a smile.

"Mmm." Yun Yun gave a sweet smile, a smile that made Xiao Li feel a little dazed.

"Ahem, Yun'er, your current cultivation level seems to be five-star Dou Zhe, mainly cultivating the wind attribute, right?" Xiao Li felt that he was about to be won over by this girl. No wonder Gu He loved her to death.

"Yes."

"Then you're lucky. A while ago, I was gathering herbs and found a Wind Spirit Fruit. It would be perfect to use it as the main ingredient to refine a Grade 4 pill, the Wind Spirit Gathering Qi Pill."

We're still missing a Tier 3 wind-attribute magic core.

Xiao Li said with a smile.

"A fourth-grade pill? I'm only a fighter right now, taking a fourth-grade pill should be dangerous, right?" Yun Yun suddenly said.

Although she can take some pills, the grade must not be too high. Grade four pills are a bit too high, as most of them are for Grand Masters.

"This isn't a big problem. I'll refine some more medicinal liquid to help you absorb the pills. Taking the pills while soaking in a medicinal bath will be the most effective way and won't harm you."

Xiao Li patted his chest and assured him. What a joke! He's an alchemist; surely he can solve this kind of problem?
