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

Xiao Li and Xiao Lin stood side by side, protecting their grandfather Xiao Ting.

"Little Ion, where did you get the Longevity King Pill and the Fighting Spirit Pill? Did you get them from Chairman Wang?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Well, I gathered the medicinal herbs in the Monster Mountain Range and asked my teacher to refine it, while I bought the Spirit-Fighting Pill on credit from my teacher," Xiao Li said with a shrug.

"You can buy Fighting Spirit Pills on credit? Only a disciple like you has such a privilege," Xiao Lin said speechlessly.

"There's no other way. My current alchemy skills are only good enough to refine low-grade fifth-rank pills. This Longevity King Pill is equivalent to a high-grade fifth-rank pill. I can't guarantee the success rate, so I can only let my teacher refine it."

The Battle Spirit Pill is at the peak of the fifth rank, and its refining difficulty is comparable to that of a sixth-rank pill. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, only the Master can refine the Battle Spirit Pill.

Xiao Li had no other choice, after all, his alchemy skills were not good enough, and his grandfather was about to die, so he could only ask his teacher for help.

"By the way, big brother, what level of Dou Qi is Xiao Zhan at now?" Xiao Li suddenly asked. He remembered the little brat who used to follow him around. Now that little brat has grown into a resolute young man.

Xiao Lin: "Thanks to your medicinal bath, Zhan'er has now reached the eighth level of Dou Qi."

"Eight-stage Dou Qi, so it's not bad. Sigh~ Xiao Zhan's talent is not as good as his older brother's. Dou Wang and Dou Huang are not your final goal. When I reach the sixth-grade alchemist, the power of our Xiao family will rise to another level."

Xiao Li has been working to increase the strength of the Xiao family. Although the bloodline of the Dou Di in their bodies is gone, they are still descendants of the Dou Di. There were strong people a thousand years ago, and there will be in the future.

Today's setbacks are not setbacks, but the road to rise!

Xiao Li currently wants to focus on cultivating the following members of the Xiao family: the former patriarch Xiao Ting, his elder brother Xiao Lin, and the elder Xiao Yuan who guards the Fighting Skills Pavilion.

The Xiao family is only just beginning to improve. If it weren't for the fact that the Xiao family has always had Dou Wang supporting them, they would have collapsed long ago. Those who can cultivate to become Dou Wang with this little bit of resources are all quite promising.

Take Xiao Li's older brother, Xiao Lin, for example. Although his name is Xiao Lin, his fighting spirit is not wood-attribute. Xiao Lin's fighting spirit is wind-attribute mixed with lightning.

It's similar to Xiao Li's fire attribute mixed with a trace of wood.

Xiao Lin's fighting spirit not only possesses the strength of wind but also the ferocity of lightning, giving him a significant advantage in battles against opponents of the same level.

"Brother, this is the Qi Gathering Powder I refined. It's of pretty good quality. Keep it and give it to Xiao Zhan when he reaches the ninth level of Dou Qi."

Xiao Li handed a blue jade bottle to Xiao Lin.

"Okay, thanks. What are you going to do next?" Xiao Lin asked.

Xiao Li: "Go and hone your skills, go to Canaan Academy and hone your skills, and see the 'geniuses' from all over the Dou Qi Continent."

"Then you should focus on your cultivation. I'll take care of things at home, so you can focus on your cultivation without worry. I'm still waiting to eat the Spirit-Refining Pills you made," Xiao Lin said with a smile, hooking his arm around Xiao Li's shoulder.

"Haha, that's for sure. By the way, when you train the family disciples in the future, you should not only test their cultivation level, but also the will of our Xiao family!" Xiao Li said solemnly.

"The will of the Xiao family?"

"That's right. My Xiao family ancestors were once incredibly glorious, but unfortunately, they've become like this in our time, without even a Dou Huang."

My Xiao family has a bloodline that rises to the challenge! Even if we are weak, our blood will not be weak!

Xiao Li's words startled Xiao Lin, and he felt his blood surging.

"Understood."

"Li'er is right. Although my Xiao clan has declined, our hearts and our spirit cannot be ashamed of our ancestors!" An old voice came, it turned out that Xiao Ting had finished absorbing the medicinal power of the Longevity King Pill.

At this moment, Xiao Ting still looked like an old man, except that his posture was more upright and the wrinkles on his face were much shallower.

"grandfather!"

Xiao Ting nodded and looked at Xiao Li: "Li'er, although Grandpa doesn't know much, our Xiao clan was extremely glorious a thousand years ago. The clan leader back then, Xiao Xuan, was the strongest in the world."

"And you are now the only one in our Xiao clan who has the hope of recreating the glory of our ancestors. You must remember that the burden of revitalizing the Xiao clan rests on your shoulders!"

"Understood, Grandpa. I plan to go to the Black Corner Region with my master to hone my skills. You should continue your arduous cultivation and try to reach the Dou Huang level. But after you break through to the Dou Huang level, don't make a fuss about it. Don't tell anyone except my eldest brother."

The eldest brother publicly stated that as long as Grandpa didn't die, that was enough.

Xiao Lin was puzzled: "Why is that?"

"Because our Xiao family has enemies, we cannot show our faces casually. At present, our Xiao family's strength is still weak, and we cannot be targeted by those powerful forces, otherwise the Xiao family will be doomed."

Xiao Lin could tell from Xiao Li's serious expression that there must be a formidable enemy.

Xiao Ting frowned: "Li'er, do you know something?"

"Yes, I know a little. Grandpa will first advance to Dou Huang. When I reach the sixth-grade alchemist level, I'll try to help you reach Dou Zong. I'll feel more at ease if there's a Dou Zong in the family."

"The same goes for you, elder brother. Don't slack off in your cultivation. I will also find ways to improve your strength, and keep an eye on the exceptionally talented children in the family; they are all worth nurturing."

Xiao Li had a different idea. He not only wanted to become stronger himself, but also to make his clansmen stronger. He would be away from home sometime in the future, and if his home was robbed, then it would be all over.

"Leave the family matters to Grandpa and your older brother. Just focus on your cultivation," Xiao Ting said, patting Xiao Li on the shoulder.

"Okay, I understand, brother. All the pills I've refined during this time are in this storage ring. I've labeled the effects of each pill. You can use them to enhance the strength of the family."

"Once I arrive at Canaan Academy, we'll keep in touch by letter." Xiao Li handed a storage ring to Xiao Lin.

"understood."

"Alright, I'm relieved about the family matters. I should go and cultivate now. Farewell, Grandpa and Elder Brother!"

Xiao Li cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Ting and Xiao Lin.

"Li'er, don't bury yourself in cultivation and hurt your body!" Xiao Ting said slowly.

"Okay, I understand. Grandpa, please take care of yourself too."

. . . . . .

Outside the Xiao family gate,

"I'll leave you here, brother. I'll leave the things at home to you."

As Xiao Li bid farewell to Xiao Lin, a pair of orange-red wings suddenly appeared behind him.

"Oh? Battle Qi transforms into wings? No, you're supposed to be Battle Spirit, right? Flying Battle Technique?" Xiao Lin asked, looking at the wings on Xiao Li's back.

"That's right, the flying combat technique Crimson Flame Wings! Big Brother's gone!"

With a flap of his wings, Xiao Li flew away from the Xiao family and out of the capital. An old figure flew to Xiao Li's side.

"Have you said goodbye?"

"Um."

Old Wang stroked his beard, quite pleased with Xiao Li, a child who valued family.

"Let's go. Black Corner is no safe place. You're in for a rough time there."

"I can't wait!" Xiao Li's gaze was firm.
