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

"How about the Broadway?" Xiao Li asked.

"Phew~ It's barely okay. I've neutralized about 60% of the Demonic Poison Spot. Fortunately, this was only cast by a Dou Huang. If a Dou Zong cast the Demonic Poison Spot, even if Lao Qian and I worked together, we could only neutralize a small portion of it."

However, if it's a poison mark from a Dou Zong level expert, the dean can remove it, since the dean is currently at the academy.

Bai Lie breathed a sigh of relief. He had just entered the peak of Dou Zong and could barely achieve Dou Qi crystallization, which was barely enough to deal with the Dou Huang-level Demon Poison Spot.

"Hmm? Something's not right! This doesn't seem to be something an ordinary Dou Huang would do." Bai Lie suddenly realized that the demonic poison spots he had just removed were showing signs of growing back!

"This demonic poison mark was indeed cast by a Dou Huang, but the total amount of Dou Qi was close to the Dou Zong level. It's just that the caster's cultivation was limited to Dou Huang."

Bai Lie discovered that the total amount of fighting spirit in this Demon Poison Spot was close to that of a Dou Zong, which must have been created by several poison masters combining their fighting spirit and then unleashing it.

"Elder Bai, can you solve this?" Xiao Li asked nervously.

"It can be solved, but it will take a lot of time, and it seems that your teacher's vitality is not going to hold up." Bai Lie checked Wang Lao's body and realized that his body might not be able to hold on.

"Understood, Elder Bai. I am preparing to refine a seventh-grade pill, the Life-Returning Pill. Since my cultivation is still shallow, I cannot withstand the seventh-grade pill lightning, so please help me resist it."

Xiao Li clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. In the future, Qianmu and I will still need to rely on you, kid. When you can refine peak seventh-grade pills, remember to refine two Hunyuan Breakthrough Pills for me and Qianmu."

Bai Lie patted Xiao Li on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"No problem." Xiao Li patted his chest and assured him. These were two friends of Dou Zun powerhouses. The two elders, Qian Bai and his brother, were already at the peak of Dou Zong, but they had been unable to find a way to break through to Dou Zun.

The Primordial Breakthrough Pill is a top-tier seventh-grade pill with the same effects as the Breakthrough Pill. It can help peak Dou Zong experts increase their success rate by 20% when advancing to Dou Zun.

If the breakthrough fails, the Primordial Breakthrough Pill can stabilize the cultivator's cultivation level and prevent backlash.

This Primordial Chaos Breakthrough Pill is extremely useful for the two elders, Qianbai and Erlao, who are both at the peak of the Dou Zong realm.

Xiao Li prepared some things and first summoned his seventh-tier medicine cauldron, the Fire Cloud Cauldron.

He then took out the medicinal herbs for the Life-Returning Pill that Yun Yun had sent, and then something occurred to him.

"By the way, Yun'er, you haven't taken a Battle Spirit Pill yet, have you? Coincidentally, I have a top-grade Battle Spirit Pill here. Now that you are an eight-star Battle King, you should be able to break through to the next star level after taking it."

Xiao Li handed the Dou Ling Pill to Yun Yun. Yun Yun originally wanted to observe Xiao Li refining pills, but Xiao Li refused, telling her to stay away because the pill lightning triggered by the seventh-grade pill was too powerful. Xiao Li told Yun Yun to stay away so that she wouldn't be affected by the pill lightning.

After everyone left, Xiao Li planned to directly refine the seventh-grade pill, the Life-Returning Pill!

"The Life-Returning Pill, a seventh-grade pill, has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bones. Although the description is somewhat exaggerated, as long as the head is not chopped off or the heart is not shattered, it can save the person, which is equivalent to a second life."

The materials required for refining are extremely complicated, numbering around sixty. The main materials are divided into four categories: seventh-tier magical beast essence blood, dragon blood fungus, blood lotus, and thousand-year-old evergreen vine...

Xiao Li went through the refining process of the Life-Returning Pill in his mind.

These medicinal herbs are all quite rigorously selected. The Yunlan Sect must have brought out their collection of these items over the years. Xiao Li will remember the Yunlan Sect's kindness.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Xiao Li raised his head and looked at the medicine cauldron in front of him. A ball of transparent flame appeared in Xiao Li's hand. With a flick of his finger, the flame, with a beautiful tail, rushed straight into the medicine cauldron and then suddenly burst open.

Once the flames entered the cauldron, the temperature immediately rose. Xiao Li then added several main ingredients into the cauldron and began to control the temperature of the flames to refine the medicinal materials.

Refining so many medicinal herbs at the same time requires a high level of spiritual power, but fortunately, Xiao Li's spiritual realm has now reached the peak of the mortal realm, giving him the qualifications and strength to do so.

Within a few breaths of contact with the Fallen Heart Flame, the medicinal herbs withered rapidly, eventually turning into dust. Drops of pure medicinal liquid remained, and under Xiao Li's exquisite soul control, they began to slowly fuse together.

"This kid is truly extraordinary. He's not even twenty years old yet, and he's already refining a seventh-grade pill at the Dou Huang level? That's defying the heavens! His soul power is even above mine. He could probably subdue the Fallen Heart Flame right now."

Bai Lie sighed. It had been a few years since he last saw Xiao Li, and he had become even stronger. Suddenly, Bai Lie remembered something. Before he left the academy, the old ghost Mang Tianchi had asked him to pass on a message.

Mang Tianchi: "After you help that kid this time, give me a message: tell him to come back to me in a year, and I'll show him the world."

"To broaden your horizons? Heh, that old ghost Mang Tianchi is getting all mysterious." Bai Lie said with a chuckle, but Xiao Li must have gained a lot by winning the appreciation of that old ghost Mang Tianchi.

Inside the medicine cauldron, a transparent flame enveloped a ball of medicinal liquid about half the size of a fist. The liquid was a mixture of colors, yet extremely harmonious, but overall, it was predominantly emerald green. However, within that emerald green, there seemed to be several different colors of energy slowly merging with it.

Xiao Li's soul power sensed the medicinal liquid in the cauldron. So far, everything was going smoothly. Xiao Li felt that familiar yet mysterious feeling again.

At this moment, Xiao Li's aura gradually became faint, and even his breathing became extremely shallow, making him look like an old monk who was about to pass away.

Although Xiao Li had fallen into a state of deep meditation, like an old monk in deep meditation, the medicine cauldron before him was filled with a continuous rumbling sound, as if heavenly thunder had stirred the earth's fire. An extremely terrifying soul power roared and swirled within it, and everything within the cauldron could only obediently submit to its command...

"He's at the Core Formation Realm again! This kid!" Bai Lie sat cross-legged to the side, watching Xiao Li enter the Core Formation Realm once more, not knowing what to say.

Six days passed slowly, and as the morning of the seventh day arrived, a ray of sunlight broke through the earth's constraints and shone on Xiao Li, who was dressed in a green robe.

Inside the cauldron, the rudimentary form of the elixir had already been formed, although the surface of the elixir was not very smooth and was pitted and uneven. However, the alchemy was not yet complete; there was still one last step: nurturing the elixir.

As alchemists, most of them have obsessive-compulsive tendencies. The pitted and uneven pills are considered rudimentary pills. They need to be slowly polished until they are perfect and become a complete pill.

About eight hours later, within the flames, the pitted and uneven nascent pill had completely transformed into a round, emerald-green pill about the size of a thumb.

Just as the pill took shape, the sky suddenly darkened rapidly, and heavy dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky. Within the clouds, silver lightning bolts could be seen moving around like silver snakes.

"A seventh-grade pill has been produced! This kid is really something! Dan Lei is here too!" Bai Lie stood up. After so many years, he saw Dan Lei again.

In the distance, where Xiao Ting stood, he noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky: "Is this the pill lightning attracted by a seventh-grade pill? I've certainly seen my share of the world."

On the other side, Yun Yun looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky, and she knew very well who was responsible for it.

"A seventh-grade alchemist who's not even twenty years old, that's amazing! I wonder if I can keep up with him?"
