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

"The space here..." Xiao Li sensed the space around him and entered a state of enlightenment.

"Oh? Spatial perception, kid, you're quite lucky. Breaking through to Dou Zong will be much easier in the future. There are still six months until the Pill Gathering, so you should be able to catch up."

If this kid can break through to Dou Zong in half a year, he might be able to refine eighth-grade pills, right? Heh, what am I thinking? How could this kid possibly advance from a five-star Dou Huang to Dou Zong in half a year?

Furthermore, the peak of the seventh rank and the eighth rank are an insurmountable chasm. It is much more difficult for a mortal soul to advance to the spirit realm than for a peak Dou Zong to advance to Dou Zun. Many Dou Zun experts have not even reached the spirit realm.

If it weren't for my good fortune back then, I'm afraid I would have lingered on the realm of the soul for a long time.

Mang Tianchi shook his head. His destination this time was a large city in the northern region of Zhongzhou, called Tianyuan City.

Tianyuan City is a large city in the northern region of Zhongzhou. There is also a spatial wormhole here that leads directly to the central region of Zhongzhou. After arriving in the central region, it takes about a month to travel to the Dan Region.

There's plenty of time; we can make it.

A few days later,

In the center of a vast plain lies a gravel plaza. The ground in the center of the plaza is covered with numerous mysterious runes, all of which emit a faint silver light and subtly reveal spatial fluctuations.

The square was quite quiet when suddenly a gust of wind rose out of nowhere. Then, a silver halo appeared in the center of the square, and a ship's shadow flashed out. It then quickly shrank, and finally two figures emerged from it.

"Is this the Central Plains?" Xiao Li sensed that the energy of heaven and earth in the Central Plains was indeed much richer than that in the Northwest Continent.

"You feel the abundance of energy in this place, right?" Mang Tianchi said with a smile.

"Um."

"This is the center of the continent, and many powerful figures come from here. You have great talent. If you had grown up in Zhongzhou, you might already be a Dou Zong by now," Mang Tianchi said with a smile.

"Maybe, I don't care. By the way, Dean, where are we now? I really don't know the way," Xiao Li asked.

"What are you afraid of! Are you afraid that I, the dean, will sell you off? But with your good looks, I guess quite a few women will like you, and some old guys have homosexual tendencies, hehe..." Mang Tianchi said in a frivolous manner.

"You son of a bitch..."

thump—

Mang Tianchi slammed his fist into Xiao Li's head: "Hmph! Disrespectful to elders!"

. . . . . .

Tianyuan City,

This is a large city in the northern region of Zhongzhou. In terms of prosperity, this city can be ranked among the top five in the northern region.

There are many families, large and small, in this Tianyuan City, but all of them are headed by the Yu family because the Yu family has a Dou Zun ancestor!

Even the powerful Fenglei Pavilion in the Northern Region wouldn't dare to provoke the Yu family so easily. The Yu family's patriarch, Venerable Tianyuan, has been famous for a long time and is quite powerful.

Xiao Li and Mang Tianchi's destination was the Yu family, where a spatial wormhole leading to the Central Region of Zhongzhou was located.

Upon entering Tianyuan City, Xiao Li was seeing such a prosperous area for the first time. Compared to Tianyuan City, the capital of the Jia Ma Empire was completely insignificant.

Xiao Li wandered among the various shops, hoping to find some bargains, until he spotted a seven-colored stone in front of a stall.

"Boss, how much is this stone?" Xiao Li looked at the stone and had a general idea of ​​what it was.

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be someone who knows their stuff. Let me tell you, this is a Seven-Colored Primal Stone! It's related to the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python, the overlord of serpentine magical beasts. This thing is extremely rare; one Royal Extreme Pill is the only price!"

The stall owner said with a grin, seeing this as an opportunity to rip off big spenders.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Whether it's a seven-colored raw stone or not, have you ever heard of the seven-colored swallowing python?"

The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python has disappeared. What use is this Seven-Colored Raw Stone even if it's extinct? It's just a pretty stone. Do you want a Royal Extreme Pill?

Xiao Li curled his lip and said that the stall owner in front of him was a three-star Dou Huang, so he had some knowledge, but definitely not much.

"Well... it's a fixed price, take it or leave it!" the stall owner said firmly.

"I'll offer you a Qingyuan Pill, take it or leave it!" Xiao Li said casually, arms crossed.

"Qingyuan Pill? Hiss—" The stall owner pondered. Qingyuan Pill was a fifth-grade pill that could assist a Douhuang in cultivation, which was quite good for him.

He obtained this seven-colored raw stone from a secret realm. Because he was fond of reading ancient books, he was able to recognize that it was a seven-colored raw stone and related to the seven-colored swallowing python.

Xiao Li's bid for the Qingyuan Pill tempted the stall owner. The reason he priced it at the Huangji Pill was to fool some uninformed people. What if someone was fooled? Wouldn't he make a profit?

"How about two Qingyuan Pills?" the stall owner asked cautiously.

Xiao Li frowned, which made the stall owner's heart tighten; he was afraid he would miss an opportunity.

Xiao Li glanced at the items on the stall and saw a golden thread.

"What is this?" Xiao Li pointed to the golden threads.

"This is golden silk thread, made from the silk of the seventh-tier magical beast, the Golden Silk Spider. Its main characteristic is its strength, making it suitable for making ornaments," the stall owner explained.

"I'll take the loss. I'll take the two Qingyuan Pills, the stone, and the gold thread." Xiao Li said in a tone as if he had already suffered a loss.

"Alright, alright, sir, I'll pack it up for you right away," the stall owner said with a beaming smile.

"No need." Xiao Li took out two Qingyuan Pills, put them in a jade bottle, and handed them to the stall owner. Then he picked up the seven-colored raw stone and the gold thread.

The seven-colored raw stone felt cool to the touch. Xiao Li used his fighting spirit to make a hole in its head, then wove the gold threads into a gold rope, threaded it through the hole, and formed a necklace.

Xiao Li hung the seven-colored raw stone necklace around his neck, then pulled open his collar, concealing the necklace beneath his clothes.

Mang Tianchi had been watching Xiao Li's actions the whole time. He hadn't paid any attention to Xiao Li's haggling with others before, but when he saw Xiao Li buy the seven-colored raw stone at such a low price, he wondered what he was going to do with it. Turns out, he was just making a necklace.

"You're so skillful with your hands, it's a shame you're not doing needlework," Mang Tianchi retorted.

(女红gong, first tone)

Xiao Li was speechless. What kind of talk was that?!

Mang Tianchi didn't care why Xiao Li bought this thing, and led Xiao Li to another place.

"Hmm? Tianyuan Auction House, Heaven-level? Interesting." Mang Tianchi collected some information and then led Xiao Li to the Tianyuan Auction House.

The Tianyuan Auction House was founded by the Yu family of Tianyuan City, or rather, by Venerable Tianyuan. As an auction house with a Dou Zun level expert, it is bound to have many good items.

"Dean, what are we doing at the auction house? Aren't we going to the Pill Domain?" Xiao Li asked.

"What's the rush? The Pill Gathering is still a while away. It's just a quick visit to an auction, it won't waste any time. It's a Heaven-level auction, I wonder if there's anything that interests me?" Mang Tianchi said with a faint smile.

"What could possibly interest you? Probably only Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills?" Xiao Li retorted.

"Heh, you think you can underestimate me? Let me tell you, I'm currently cultivating a Heaven-rank cultivation technique, and I also possess two Heaven-rank combat skills!"

Mang Tianchi said proudly, "These techniques and fighting skills are all obtained by my own abilities. Isn't that something to be proud of?"

"Impressive, impressive," Xiao Li said dismissively.

"You brat, how dare you try to fool me! You're asking for a beating!" Mang Tianchi said angrily.

Boom!

"ah--"
