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

"Sect Master Ye, the highlight of your auction this time is this Thunderclap Mirror and the Awakening Thunder Technique, right?" Elder Wang asked.

"That's right. Elder Huang, we really can't trade with you anymore. The news about this cultivation technique and its accompanying combat skills has already spread and can't be taken back." Ye Xuan knew that this cultivation technique would cause so many problems.

Old Wang shook his head: "No, my question is whether you have leaked information about this cultivation technique and its accompanying combat skills."

"Not really. After all, it's best to keep products a mystery, otherwise how can there be any surprises?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"That would be best. In that case, I also have a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique and its accompanying combat skills. How about exchanging it with your Thunderclap Strike?"

As a sixth-grade alchemist with an adventurous nature, Old Wang had an extremely rich collection.

"May I think about this? And what should I do about the person who entrusted me with the cultivation technique?"

Ye Xuan was also in a dilemma. Old Wang's method was good, but what if the seller was not happy?

"What's there to say? Let him come and talk to me about what to do. I have the cultivation techniques and the pills. Let's see what he does," Old Wang sneered.

"Yes, I'll call him over right away. Please wait a moment."

Ye Xuan left immediately, as this was crucial to whether he could obtain the Imperial Pill. For him, getting the Imperial Pill wouldn't come at a great cost; if he could succeed this time, he would be the biggest winner!

Xiao Li: "Teacher, aren't you being too hasty? Wealth shouldn't be flaunted!"

"It's all because of you, kid. Whatever you want, I, as your master, will definitely get it for you. Why are you being so polite with me?"

"I have no children of my own, so you can be considered half my son. What's the big deal? Besides, I actually have quite a few Earth-rank cultivation techniques here. It's better to get something useful than to let them gather dust."

Old Wang said with a smile, "He's very wealthy."

"Alright, by the way, teacher, how many Battle Spirit Pills and Imperial Extreme Pills do you have? You're just talking about Battle Spirit Pills and Imperial Extreme Pills right off the bat, isn't that a bit extravagant?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

"I won't go into the quantity, as walls have ears. But you should know that before I refine high-grade pills, I usually practice with Douling Pills."

"Over the years, I've accumulated some stock. As for the Imperial Extreme Pill, my success rate isn't high, but I still have some," Old Wang said proudly.

After a cup of tea,

Ye Xuan led an old man in. The old man looked very haggard, his aura was fluctuating greatly, and he looked terrible, as if he had just been seriously injured. However, Xiao Li could tell that this man was a Dou Huang powerhouse.

"Sect Master Ye, is this the master who requests to exchange for my Thunderclap Mirror?" the old man spoke first. He already knew from Ye Xuan that Elder Wang was a sixth-grade alchemist.

"That's right, it's me. Tell me, what do you want in exchange?" Old Wang said calmly.

The old man in front of him was probably only a two-star Dou Huang, and he seemed to have suffered a soul injury. If all else failed, he would just take action and the old man would be at peace once he died. This was Old Wang's first thought.

"Ahem, Master, I obtained this Thunderclap Mirror and Awakening Thunder Technique by chance from a ruin, but I am not a thunder-attribute fighter, and someone is chasing me, so I plan to auction them off directly."

I have suffered a wound to my soul, and I need money to heal it, which is why I am in a hurry to sell the cultivation technique.

After the old man finished speaking, he kept coughing, which showed that he was indeed seriously injured.

"Oh, that makes things easier. I have a sixth-grade elixir, the Spirit Fusion Pill, which can perfectly repair your soul injuries, plus a fifth-grade healing pill, the Restoration Pill."

"Use these two pills to exchange for your Earth-rank cultivation technique and combat skills. Think carefully, though; medicinal herbs for repairing the soul are extremely rare, and those that can be refined are even rarer. Think this through."

Old Wang calmly said, which shocked Xiao Li, who was standing to the side. Old Wang wanted to exchange a sixth-grade pill and a fifth-grade pill for a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique and a matching fighting skill.

Before this was released, some people might have thought that Old Wang was a fool, but judging from the current situation, this Dou Huang seems to have thought it through.

"Master, I'll trade, I'll trade! Give me the pills, and the Thunderclap Mirror and the Awakening Thunder Technique are yours!" The old man took out two silver scrolls.

The two rolls are made of a rather peculiar material, which looks like a strange crystal. On its surface, there are even tiny electric lights that move around like silver snakes.

"Hehe, here's the pill for you, one hand for the goods, the other for the medicine," Old Wang said with a smile.

The deal between the nameless Douhuang and Elder Wang was complete, and the Douhuang hurriedly left with the pills.

"Next, Sect Master Ye will make you lose the core of this auction item, but I keep my word. This is a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique called 'Thick Earth Dragon Technique' and its matching low-level Earth-rank combat skill 'Stone Dragon Breaks the Sky'."

"This set of cultivation techniques and combat skills won't tarnish your reputation. Plus, I'll give you an extra Royal Extreme Pill. With all of that, it should be enough to make up for what we asked for today," Old Wang said, stroking his beard.

"This, this, this, Elder Huang! You..." Ye Xuan was so excited that he could barely speak.

"Give me a straight answer, okay?" Old Wang said impatiently.

"Sure, of course! I'll bring you and your disciple's things right away." Ye Xuan was so happy he could fly. The auction could proceed as scheduled, and although there were fewer items to be auctioned, it didn't matter much.

The main reason was that he didn't offend a single sixth-grade alchemist and even obtained the Imperial Pill.

This is the Imperial Extreme Pill! No Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) can resist the Imperial Extreme Pill. The Imperial Extreme Pill can increase a Dou Huang's cultivation by one to two stars, unlike the Dou Ling Pill.

This Imperial Pill also has another function, which is to strengthen the body and bones. The residual medicinal power after the strength is enhanced will help the person who takes it to strengthen their body once more.

It should be known that the fighting techniques for tempering the physical body on the Dou Qi Continent are extremely painful. Many cultivators don't even have time to cultivate Dou Qi, let alone have the time or resources to temper their bodies.

This Imperial Pill can not only improve cultivation but also strengthen the physical body; it is truly the best of the best.

Ye Xuan left immediately; he needed to prepare things and couldn't keep his distinguished guest waiting.

"Hmm~ all done, Li'er, pour some tea!" Old Wang sat down again, feeling refreshed.

"Here it comes!" Xiao Li immediately picked up the teapot and filled the master's teacup.

"Teacher is very happy! Could it be that we made a profit in this transaction?" Xiao Li said with a smile.

"Of course we made a profit. One Imperial Pill, one Restoration Pill, one Spirit Fusion Pill, plus a set of useless Earth-attribute Earth-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills. We've already made a profit by exchanging so many things."

"What you gain is what you get. My native, mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique is very difficult to cultivate; not everyone can do it, and its quality is probably inferior to the Thunderclap Mirror."

As expected of a seasoned veteran, this old fox is scheming everywhere. Indeed, one must be cunning when traveling on the mainland.
