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

"Let me see what good stuff we have," Xiao Li said, rubbing his hands together.

The other four kept their distance from Xiao Li with remarkable tacit understanding, because Xiao Li's previous strike was so terrifying that it made their legs weak.

It should be noted that the average age of the four of them was around twenty-four or twenty-five, while Xiao Li was only sixteen years old. Sixteen years old was much younger than them, yet his cultivation was one or even two major realms higher than theirs.

The two elders just mentioned that this monstrous genius is also an alchemist. They felt that all their years of cultivation had been for nothing.

Xiao Li had already seen dozens of energy shields. He reached inside and pulled out a crimson scroll.

"A high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique, the Heavenly Flame Technique. Not bad."

Xiao Li took it from his hand, then looked at the four people standing side by side: "Hey! Any of you four want this?"

"Forehead...."

"Should we take it or not?!"

"Hey junior, I want it! I'm a fire attribute!" A thin young man raised his hand and said. He was the fifth-place finisher in this selection competition, a nine-star Dou Shi.

"Here you go!" Xiao Li tossed the scroll over directly.

"Thank you, thank you!" The thin young man was almost moved to tears because he was different from the other students. The other students all had families, but he was an orphan. He just happened to run into the Canaan Academy's registration team and barely met the admission requirements.

After entering the academy, he studied diligently and finally broke into the top five of this competition after several years of training.

"Hmm~ Why do you speak with a bit of a Jiama Empire accent? Are you from the Jiama Empire?" Xiao Li asked.

"Yes! I am from the Gama Empire! I come from Blackrock City!" the thin young man said excitedly.

"Haha, what a coincidence! I'm also from the Gama Empire, from the Holy City of Gama. What's your name?" Xiao Li hadn't expected to meet someone from the same country here.

"My name is Xia Yilong, you can just call me A-Long," the thin young man named Xia Yilong said happily.

"Don't rush, this library definitely has more than just high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques. Keep trying your luck," Xiao Li said with a smile.

"Um."

The other three seemed to have been abandoned, but they quickly adjusted their mindset and began searching for their own treasures.

"Hmm? This energy shield is quite bright, what is it?" Xiao Li noticed a rather bright ball of light.

"It's beast fire! It looks more powerful than the beast fire I'm using now. A seventh-tier beast fire? I'll keep it as an option."

Xiao Li discovered a dark golden beast fire. He is currently using the beast fire of the sixth-tier Purple Tiger King. Once he reaches the Dou Wang level, the amplification effect of the beast fire will be much less.

"Xiao Li, I found an energy shield here, but I can't open it," Xia Yilong said.

"Oh? Let me see!" Xiao Li arrived at the energy cluster and found that this cluster of light was indeed more difficult to open than the others.

Xiao Li used his soul power to open it, and then an ancient scroll appeared in his hand.

"Oh? It's a pill formula! Let me see. A mid-grade seventh-rank pill, the Heavenly Yang Dragon Blood Pill. A pure Yang tonic, it's most effective when used on a Heavenly Yang body."

If a person with a Heavenly Yang Body takes the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill, it can further enhance the potential of their Heavenly Yang Body and has a chance to obtain a physical body as powerful as a dragon-type magical beast.

The main ingredients are the Heavenly Sun Fruit King, two sixth-tier dragon-type magical beast cores, and twenty-four drops of fifth-tier dragon-type magical beast essence blood.

Xiao Li discovered a formula for a mid-grade seventh-rank pill, which was extremely suitable for Elder Wang, whose physique was the Heavenly Yang Body.

Unfortunately, the source of the Heavenly Yang Body was extracted by the Ice River Valley, but its essence remains unchanged. If Elder Wang were to take this pill, combined with the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, it might be able to revive the Heavenly Yang Body!

Xiao Li decided to accept the pill formula and refine the pill for Elder Wang in the future.

Xiao Li continued his search for good things, only to discover that the other three were fighting over a single fruit.

"Huh? It's actually the Heavenly Sun Fruit King! What good luck! Stop it!" Xiao Li roared, immediately stopping the three people who were attacking.

After all, they had all witnessed Xiao Li's power, and if they offended him, they would have no good days ahead.

"It really is the Heavenly Sun Fruit King! What a coincidence! Who among you discovered it?" Xiao Li said happily.

"I discovered that this fruit is the Heavenly Sun Fruit, which is helpful for breaking through to the Dou Wang level, so I planned to take it to prepare for my future breakthrough. Who knew they would join forces to snatch it?"

"That Grand Master said angrily."

"These things are not important. What's important is that I want this, but I can't take it out of the country. I need you to help me take it out," Xiao Li said with a smile.

"This..." The Grand Master was definitely not happy about it, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

"Ahem, listen to me first. I want this fruit. If you help me take it out, there will naturally be benefits. You are now a two-star Great Dou Master. I suppose you have never taken the Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill before." Xiao Li's smile deepened.

"The Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill! It's the Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill that can raise a Great Dou Master's cultivation by one star and can be taken twice in a row!" the Great Dou Master said excitedly.

"That's right, help me take this fruit out and hand it over to me, and I can give you two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills!" Xiao Li said, stroking his chin.

"Master, your offer is very tempting, but I..."

"I'll add one more Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. This is my last offer, so think it over!"

"make a deal!"

The Grand Master immediately agreed; after all, it was a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill!

After consuming it, a Grand Master can temporarily increase their cultivation level by three stars if they overcome the backlash. With the addition of two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills, they will reach a five-star cultivation level.

He is currently a two-star Grand Dou Master. With these pills, he can reach the seven-star Grand Dou Master in one step, saving him a lot of time in arduous cultivation!

"Hmm~ You're very clever. You know how to take this fruit out and how to put it back properly so that its medicinal properties aren't lost!" Xiao Li said calmly.

"Yes! I'll do whatever you say."

The other two watched all this with bated breath. Suddenly, they also wanted to get on good terms with this mysterious alchemist junior and ask him to use pills to thoroughly rub them in.

Xiao Li naturally noticed their gazes and said with a faint smile, "You also want pills? Of course, you can. Just bring me some things when you show up. Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills and Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills are both fine!"

"Okay, junior, what do you need? We guarantee we'll complete the mission!" The two young men immediately stood at attention.

This is the skill of an alchemist, capable of making countless powerful individuals bow down.

"Oh? A sixth-tier dragon-type magical beast's magic core is a good thing. Can you hold it for me?" Xiao Li tossed a dragon-type magical beast's magic core to another young Dou Shi.

"Hey junior, you're an alchemist, right? I saw a medicine cauldron in a room earlier, would you like to take it out with you?"

"Oh? There's also a medicine cauldron? Take me to see it."

The Grand Master led Xiao Li to another room, where a rather large ball of light could be seen. Although the ball of light looked large, it was actually quite transparent, and one could see what was inside from the outside.

This is an ancient, reddish-brown medicine cauldron with seven fire openings.

"It's actually a seventh-tier medicine cauldron! What a treasure! Senior, could you help me carry it? Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill and Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill are both fine." Xiao Li said with delight.

"Hehe, junior, this is such a good item, could you add another Spirit Ascension Pill?" the Grand Master said somewhat embarrassedly.

He was the highest-ranking cultivator in this competition besides Xiao Li, reaching the level of a three-star Grand Dou Master.

"Alright! I agree! But you need to prepare the herbs yourself; that's the rule for alchemists!"

"Thank you so much!"
