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

hum-

Suddenly, a clear "humming" sound rippled out and echoed throughout the entire volcanic system.

After the medicine cauldron emitted a humming sound, an exceptionally rich medicinal aura suddenly erupted from the cauldron like a volcano. The source of the medicinal aura could be faintly seen, seemingly a blood-red pill encased in transparent flames.

"He's succeeded! This kid's surprises just keep coming one after another!"

Bai Lie stood up and looked at the blood-red pill, a mid-grade seventh-rank pill, which would bring him many benefits even if he took it.

"I need to build a good relationship with this kid. He might surpass Qianmu or even Mangtianchi in the future!" Bai Lie started making plans in his mind.

"Huff~ Huff~ Refining a mid-grade seventh-rank pill is still too much of a challenge. Huff~ It will probably be much easier when my cultivation level is higher."

At this moment, Xiao Li's face was deathly pale. Refining a mid-grade seventh-rank pill was still too difficult for him at his current level.

In case he fainted, Xiao Li took a few Qi Cultivation Pills to recover his fighting spirit.

The surge of elixir energy grew increasingly rapid, and drawn by this intense energy, dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky...

Boom—

The pill lightning triggered by the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill this time was even more powerful than when the Life-Returning Pill was being refined.

Xiao Li was confident that he could withstand a few blows of the pill lightning summoned by the Life-Returning Pill and block a few strikes of pill lightning without any problem. However, he couldn't block even a single strike of the pill lightning summoned by the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill.

"Haha, let me see what's different about the pill lightning attracted by a mid-grade seventh-rank pill!" Bai Lie stood up, his feet stepping on the void.

Boom—

The first bolt of lightning descended at lightning speed, and this bolt was at least as thick as two arms, striking towards Xiao Li's medicine cauldron.

With a wave of his hand, Bai Lie unleashed a massive crimson palm that struck Dan Lei.

boom--

click-

A dull thud resounded as the Hundred Fierce Blades collided with the Heavenly Thunder, causing everyone present to pound their hearts. Then, it was as if the sky had been torn apart.

"Haha, not enough, not enough, let's have more!"

Bai Lie charged forward against the thunder, and the confrontation with Dan Lei actually loosened his bottleneck slightly. Perhaps he could gain some insight from it.

After unleashing the last and most powerful bolt of silver lightning, the heavy clouds in the sky gradually stopped churning and then quickly thinned out, with beams of light piercing through them and turning into countless spots of light.

The sunlight poured down, quickly dispelling all the gloom from the area.

"Hiss—how did it just disappear? I was just getting a feel for it." Bai Lie was just getting serious when the Dan Lei disappeared, which made him a little annoyed.

However, as much as I was annoyed, even if the pill lightning lasted longer, it wouldn't make much difference, because the pill lightning triggered by this mid-grade seventh-rank pill was equivalent to a mid-level Dou Zong.

For Bai Lie, a peak Dou Zong expert, this kind of tempering is not enough. Perhaps only the pill lightning triggered by a high-grade seventh-rank pill or a peak seventh-rank pill would be useful to Bai Lie.

After Bai Lie finished dealing with the pill lightning, it meant that Xiao Li had successfully refined the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill. Xiao Li looked at the blood-red pill the size of a dragon's eye in his hand. The pill was still warm in his hand and emitted a rich pill aura.

The Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill is a pure Yang tonic pill. It is most effective or even more potent for those with the Heavenly Yang Body, and it is also a top-grade pill for fire-attribute Dou Zong and Dou Huang.

Xiao Li felt that taking the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill would probably raise his cultivation by three to four stars, but there was one problem: could his body withstand the effects of the medicine?

After refining two pills, Xiao Li came to Elder Wang's side. Elder Wang's condition was already very bad. Xiao Li first put the Life-Returning Pill into Elder Wang's mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a powerful medicinal force entered Old Wang's body.

"Ugh~" A weak voice came out, and Old Wang slowly opened his eyes: "What happened to me? I remember being ambushed by Izumo's poison bastard."

"Teacher! You're finally awake! That's wonderful!" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise, before fainting again.

"Li'er!"

"Leave!"

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Li woke up and saw a pair of green mountain peaks that blocked the sunlight.

Xiao Li felt something soft and warm at the back of his head.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Oh, you're awake!" Shan Feng leaned back, followed by Yun Yun's pretty face.

"Yun'er, what's wrong with me?" Xiao Li asked, somewhat confused.

"Elder Bai said your soul power is overdrawn and you need to rest for a while," Yun Yun explained.

"How is my teacher?" Xiao Li sat up, then turned his head and found that he had just been resting his head on Yun Yun's jade legs. There were still some red marks on Yun Yun's legs, which made Xiao Li's ears burn.

"Old Wang has become much more awake, but his physical condition is not good. The Yin-Yang Xuanlong Pill in his body is still fighting against the residual poison of the Demonic Poison Spot."

"Old Wang said he is currently at a critical juncture of rebuilding after destruction, and may continue to be dormant at any time," Yun Yun explained.

"In that case, I'll thank you later, Yun'er. I'll go and heal my teacher first." Xiao Li quickly ran over to Old Wang.

At this moment, Old Wang's complexion was somewhat better, but his aura was still weak. The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, the Demonic Poison Spot, and the Life-Returning Pill were all in his body, and a certain balance had been achieved, which left Old Wang in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

"Teacher!" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise, at least the teacher was awake.

"Li'er, cough cough, thank you so much for saving my life." Old Wang was still weak and kept coughing.

"It's alright. My teacher has imparted a great deal of skill to me. How could I not help you when you are in danger? Please take the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill that I refined earlier."

You once told me that you have a Heavenly Yang Body, but your physical constitution has been stripped away. My Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill is a pill specifically designed for Heavenly Yang Bodies.

"Take this; it might do you good." Xiao Li took out the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill and handed it to Elder Wang.

"Seventh-grade pills! You can refine pills of this quality now? I'm very pleased that you've surpassed your teacher, but don't waste such good stuff on an old man like me who's practically on his deathbed... ugh~"

Before Old Wang could finish speaking, Xiao Li stuffed the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill into Old Wang's mouth.

"Forgive my presumption, Master, you are too talkative. What do you mean by waste? There is no such thing as waste when I give you things. It's just a matter of lifespan. I don't believe that you can't break through to the Dou Zong level after consuming these things."

Once you break through to the Dou Zong level, your problem will be solved, teacher? Teacher!

Xiao Li discovered that Old Wang had fainted again, and Xiao Li felt like he was about to break apart.

A few minutes later, Bai Lie examined Old Wang's body and frowned.

"What kind of situation is this? There are even such symptoms?" Bai Lie said speechlessly.

"Elder Bai, please stop beating around the bush and tell me what's wrong?" Xiao Li asked anxiously.

"You're too hasty, kid. Your teacher's body is so weak, how could he possibly refine this Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill? This Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill entered your teacher's body and combined with the remaining Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill's medicinal power."

Your teacher had to enter a state of nirvana, which put a lot of pressure on his current body; his body simply couldn't withstand such a powerful medicine.

Bai Lie explained Wang Lao's physical condition.

"Then how can we rescue the teacher?" Xiao Li asked anxiously.

Bai Lie: "One method is to have a Dou Zun powerhouse use their powerful Dou Qi to help your teacher refine the medicinal power in his body. This kind of thing is thankless and difficult. Would a Dou Zun help a Dou Huang?"

And don't expect the dean to help you. That old geezer won't lend a hand easily. Unless it's absolutely necessary and there's no other way, it's best not to go to him. If you owe him too many favors, you might lose something because of it.

"Is there any other way?" Xiao Li felt utterly hopeless.

"Yes! That is, an alchemist with a special kind of flame can inject that flame into your teacher's body to help him refine the medicinal power," Bai Lie said.

"A specific strange fire? Won't the Fallen Heart Flame work?" A transparent flame appeared in Xiao Li's hand.

Bai Lie shook his head: "The Fallen Heart Flame won't do. You know it's too powerful and could easily hurt your teacher. The specific strange fire I'm talking about is the Flame of Life, ranked fifth on the Strange Fire Ranking, and the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, ranked twenty-first on the Strange Fire Ranking!"
