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

Three days later

Xiao Li spent three days completing the cultivation technique. He felt completely refreshed and felt like he could take on thirty of his clan brothers!

"Hmm~ Not bad. You've successfully mastered the technique and your cultivation level has reached the three-star Dou Zhe level. Is this the power of an Earth-rank technique? Heh! I wasn't as lucky as you when I was a kid."

Wang Ming stroked his beard and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I have to thank you for your guidance, teacher," Xiao Li said politely, bowing.

"Hmm, when I examined your body just now, I found that you must have done some physical training. Your muscles and bones are very well trained, but it seems that you overdid it, resulting in some hidden injuries in your body."

It doesn't seem like a big deal now, but it will be extremely fatal when you break through to a higher realm later!

Wang Ming pointed out the flaws on Xiao Li's body.

"Huh? What should I do then?" Xiao Li didn't expect that even though he really liked training, how could he have hidden injuries?

"Don't worry! I'm here, aren't I? I'm a sixth-grade alchemist, healing your hidden injuries is a piece of cake."

Wang Ming was very confident in his alchemy skills.

"Okay, that's fine then. Teacher, what do we do next? Go out for training or continue our arduous cultivation?" Xiao Li asked. Now that he had a teacher, his cultivation plan was no longer viable.

Wang Ming patted Xiao Li's head: "What's the rush? You're already getting cocky just because you're only a three-star Dou Zhe? Kid, the Dou Qi Continent is huge, with countless geniuses. Although you have amazing talent, you still can't compare to true geniuses."

"You can stay at home and cultivate in the capital until I am satisfied. When you break through to the Great Dou Master level, I will take you out to train."

And another thing! What use is being good at fighting as my disciple? I didn't take you on as a disciple so you could fight. You need to memorize these two books first.

Wang Ming took out two extremely thick books and handed them to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li glanced at one book and saw that it was "One Hundred Explanations of Herbs" and the other was "One Hundred Explanations of Warcraft".

"Read these two books first, and then I will teach you alchemy," Wang Ming said sternly, his hands behind his back.

"Yes, teacher!"

Xiao Li was getting impatient. From childhood to adulthood, besides cultivating, he loved reading. The Dou Qi Continent was really big, with a lot of strange and wonderful things. Without some culture, you wouldn't even know how you died.

Therefore, in the Dou Qi Continent, knowledge is also a kind of power.

. . . . . .

Six years later,

Xiao Family Pharmacy

A young man sat cross-legged in front of a blue cauldron that looked somewhat ancient yet exuded a deep and imposing aura. The cauldron was radiating a purplish-red heat.

This medicine cauldron has five fire openings. As we all know, medicine cauldrons are also divided into different levels. The more fire openings a cauldron has, the higher its level and the rarer it is. A medicine cauldron with more fire openings also has a stronger auxiliary effect on refining medicine.

At this moment, a ball of purple flame surged violently inside the medicine cauldron.

Inside the cauldron where flames surged, a thumb-sized purple pill was slowly taking shape as it was heated by the flames.

"out!"

The boy slammed his palm down on the medicine cauldron, causing the lid to fly off. A vast expanse of purple flames surged forth from the cauldron, and at the center of those flames, an even more conspicuous purple light shot out, instantly overshadowing the purple flames.

As the light shone out, a rich purple fragrance slowly rose up, eventually forming a purple mist cloud above the boy's head, like a wisp of spiritual mist.

"What a rich, colored medicinal aroma!"

"Shh! Be quiet and don't disturb Li'er!"

Two very faint sounds broke the silence. It turned out that in a corner of the medicine hall, seven or eight old men were standing side by side, quietly watching the young man concoct medicine.

This young man is Xiao Li, who is now fifteen years old, and he is currently refining a remarkable pill!

"Disperse!"

In mid-air, the purple flames slowly extinguished, and a purple pill the size of a longan appeared in the air. Xiao Li waved his hand, and the purple pill flew into his palm. Holding the pill, the corners of his mouth kept turning up.

"Hey, a top-tier fourth-grade pill, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill! Success!"

Call ~

Several heavy breathing sounds could be heard at this moment. There was nothing they could do. Their only alchemist was refining pills, and allowing them to watch was already an act of taking advantage of their seniority. How could they dare to make a sound?

"Li'er, you are now a peak fourth-grade alchemist. My God, I never dared to imagine that in just six years, you have grown from a little kid who knew nothing to a peak fourth-grade alchemist."

Xiao Ting walked over slowly. He felt that heaven had not treated the Xiao family badly. With such a talented child, he could die in peace.

Xiao Li grinned and first placed the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill into the jade bottle.

"Once I reach the Dou Ling level, I should be able to try refining fifth-grade pills."

Xiao Li set a goal for himself: to refine a Dou Ling to the fifth rank, a Dou Wang to the sixth rank, and a Dou Huang to the seventh rank.

"Grandpa, hasn't Teacher come back yet?" Xiao Li turned to look at Xiao Ting.

"Not yet. The place Elder Wang went to is quite far. It not only goes beyond the Jia Ma Empire, but also crosses the entire Chu Yun Empire to the territory of the Mu Lan Empire. It is said to be the place where a Dou Zun powerhouse fell, attracting countless Dou Wang, Dou Huang, and Dou Zong to go there."

Xiao Ting said slowly. To be honest, he also wanted to try his luck. His time was almost up. He had only just reached the level of an eight-star Dou Wang, and the Dou Huang realm was still a long way off.

If Xiao Ting cannot break through to the Dou Huang realm before his death, then he will have no choice but to die peacefully. Fortunately, he is at ease with the current Xiao family, as his eldest grandson Xiao Lin will break through to the Dou Wang realm in a few years.

With Xiao Lin inheriting the position of family head and Xiao Li assisting him, the Xiao family will soon become the head of the four major families!

Xiao Ting was also particularly pleased that no one in his Xiao family had any disputes over the position of family head!

On the contrary, Xiao Lin and Xiao Li humbly yielded the position of family head to each other, and now the Xiao family's overall strength has greatly improved because of Xiao Li, a fourth-grade alchemist.

The cultivation progress is most noticeable, especially among disciples at the levels of Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, and Dou Ling.

Because of Xiao Li's existence, the Xiao family started a pill business and made connections with the Mittel family, which greatly increased the Xiao family's wealth. Now, the family finally has high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills.

"Hmm?" Xiao Ting's eyes suddenly narrowed as he sensed an astonishing aura!

boom--

Suddenly, the door of the pharmacy was kicked open, and a disheveled old man walked in. He looked so unkempt that he was almost like a beggar.

If it weren't for the pair of blue-green wings on the old man's back, which were slightly ethereal and presumably formed from his own battle qi—battle qi wings being a standard feature of powerful warriors above the Dou Wang level—this old man would have been mistaken for a beggar.

"Teacher! You're back!" Xiao Li naturally recognized that this was his teacher who had been away from him for more than half a year.

"I'm back. Honestly, I didn't get anything good and just got myself into trouble!" Wang Ming sat down on the ground angrily.
