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

Chapter 79

The figure behind the screen sat cross-legged on a futon, with a guzheng lying horizontally in front of him. The guzheng seemed to be made of precious wood and was carved with phoenix patterns.

The beautiful woman playing the zither was dressed in an exquisite purple palace gown, her skin as smooth as jade. Her satin-black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and a purple veil covered her face, obscuring her true features, but her bright eyes were large and clear.

Around her neck, which resembled white jade, hung a strange necklace, on which was attached an ancient and unique storage ring.

From a distance, this beautiful woman appears tall and slender, with a graceful and ethereal figure, making her seem like a fairy untouched by worldly concerns, as if from a dream.

This beautiful woman is Su Wanyin, the Valley Master of Yin Valley, a Five-Star Dou Zun.

"Tianhuang City, a seventh-grade alchemist? In that case, let's go out and explore." Su Wanyin's clear and melodious voice rang out.

"yes.

,ooo

In Tianhuang City, Liu Jia's Xiao Li has been honing his alchemy skills these days. There are still a few months before the Pill Gathering begins, and he's striving for a good ranking. What if he wins the championship? After all, honor is reserved for those who are prepared.

Mang Tianchi sat near Xiao Li, holding a wine pot in his hand, watching Xiao Li refine medicine.

"This kid's alchemy skills have improved again. He's a genius. He might not be very good at fighting, but when it comes to alchemy, even the top members of the Medicine Clan probably can't keep up with his progress."

Mang Tianchi sighed. Ever since Xiao Li was able to refine seventh-grade pills, Mang Tianchi had been observing him from the sidelines. Only he knew just how rapid Xiao Li's progress had been.

Xiao Li stood up and stretched: "Ah~ I'm so tired. I've finally made up for the previous losses. The Liu family has quite a collection, even eighth-tier magic cores. Impressive."

Mang Tianchi: "Nonsense, although the Liu family is only a Dou Zong family, where is this? The Central Region of Zhongzhou, this place is very rich. The Liu family and the Cheng family take turns controlling the space wormhole."

This wormhole is incredibly lucrative. If one side manages to occupy it for too long, it will definitely disrupt the balance between the two. Don't underestimate Zhongzhou!

Xiao Li stretched and yawned: "No wonder it's the center of the continent."

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Liu Kunsheng appeared there, his expression grave.

"What's wrong, Elder Liu? Why do you look so pale?" Xiao Li also noticed Liu Kunsheng's expression.

"Young friend Xiao Li, Valley Master Tang of Burning Flame Valley and Valley Master Su of Sound Valley have arrived. They specifically requested to see you," Liu Kunsheng said solemnly.

"They want to see me? I don't know them at all, why do they want to see me?" Xiao Li was very puzzled. Could it be that he made too much noise while refining pills?

But that shouldn't be the case. Is it worth the two leaders of the Three Valleys personally coming here when I'm just a mere seventh-grade alchemist?

"Then take me to meet the two seniors." Xiao Li wanted to rest for a while, so he went to see what was going on.

"Alright, Senior Bu, young friend, please follow me." Liu Kunsheng led the way.

This is the main hall of the Liu family.

"Su Wanyin, what brings you here? This is the territory of my Burning Flame Valley, you've crossed the line!" Tang Zhen shouted at the woman in front of him, who looked like a celestial being.

Su Wanyin quietly took a sip of tea, then looked at Tang Zhen: "This Valley Master can go wherever she wants. You, Tang Zhen, can't control me? Or do you, Tang Zhen, want to stretch your muscles with me?"

"You!!" Tang Zhen was furious, but he didn't lose his temper. As the master of a valley, he couldn't possibly lack such magnanimity. Besides, he had often been angered by the elders of the valley, so he was used to it.

Moreover, Su Wanyin's strength surpasses Tang Zhen's. Tang Zhen could only keep up with Su Wanyin's cultivation level by activating the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations. However, Yin Gu's techniques are released by combining music and soul power.

Yin Gu's ultimate technique, "Heavenly Sound Soul-Suppressing Melody," influences the soul through special musical rhythms, making it impossible for the enemy to concentrate and weakening their own power. This technique is a natural counter to amplification techniques.

In other words, all amplification techniques are useless in the face of "Heavenly Sound Requiem". Unless one's own soul power is far stronger than that of the caster, they will be affected by it.

Most importantly, Yin Gu is skilled in cultivating soul power, and Su Wanyin is a genius that Yin Gu has only seen once in a hundred years, with extremely strong soul power far surpassing Tang Zhen and Binghe.

To put it bluntly, even if Tang Zhen and Binghe joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Su Wanyin.

"Hmm? He's here. His soul power is pretty good, and he's quite the young man." Su Wanyin's soul power had already sensed Xiao Li's presence, but she quickly sensed the incredible presence beside Xiao Li.

Su Wanyin immediately withdrew her soul power, refraining from probing the powerful figure. Su Wanyin could confirm that the powerful figure was a Transcendent Dou Zun, possibly already at the sixth or seventh level.

Tang Zhen followed Su Wanyin's gaze and looked outside. He saw a young man following behind the Liu family patriarch. The young man looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a blue robe, with a friendly smile on his face.

"A five-star Dou Huang? His soul power has reached the peak of the mortal realm! He's on par with me!" Tang Zhen's soul power also noticed Xiao Li. This was the first time he had ever seen such a young seventh-grade alchemist.

Then, Tang Zhen also noticed the old man behind Xiao Li.

"It was him. It makes sense that he was the one who trained this young man."

Tang Zhen's words were somewhat puzzling, leaving Su Wanyin and the elders of the two valleys wondering what he was talking about.

Xiao Li saw two groups of people in the main hall. One group was dressed in fiery red clothes and exuded a strong fire attribute aura. The other group was dressed in purple clothes with a focus on sex and a mysterious aura.

Xiao Li noticed the two important figures sitting down; the one who was sitting must be the Valley Master.

"This humble one, Wang Li, greets Valley Master Tang and Valley Master Su."

Xiao Li clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two Dou Zun powerhouses.

Liu Tianlong, Liu Tianjiao, Liu Kunsheng, and Mang Tianchi were instantly dumbfounded. "Aren't you called Xiao Li? How did you become Wang Li?"

"Hmm. This one..." Tang Zhen was about to speak when Su Wanyin flashed in front of Xiao Li, grabbed Xiao Li's right hand, and her gaze was cold and sharp.

"Tell me, where did you get this storage ring from!" Su Wanyin's icy voice rang out, instantly making Xiao Li break out in a cold sweat.

"Huh? Stop!" When Bu Tianchi saw that the Valley Master of the Sound Valley had actually made a move, he couldn't just stand by and watch, so he waved his hand and knocked Su Wan back.

Peng Suwan took a few steps back and barely managed to block Bu Tianchi's casual strike. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, but she still moved forward, her eyes fixed on the ancient storage ring on Xiao Li's right index finger.

Upon seeing Su Wanyin still daring to step forward, Mang Tianchi immediately shielded Xiao Li behind him and raised his hand to gather lightning.

"Wait, Dean! It might be a misunderstanding. Valley Master Su might be emotionally agitated." Xiao Li seemed to have thought of something and immediately grabbed Bu Tianchi.

Mang Tianchi frowned, but he chose to trust Xiao Li. In any case, with him around, no one could hurt Xiao Li.

"Senior Su, do you know the owner of this storage ring?" Xiao Li took off the storage ring from the index finger of his right hand. This storage ring was the first one he had ever acquired, given to him by Elder Wang.

"I know him! Of course I know him! Tell me, what happened to the owner of this storage ring!" Su Wanyin was extremely agitated, no longer the graceful fairy she had been just moments before.

"The owner of this storage ring is Wang Ming, who is my teacher. This storage ring is a gift he gave me," Xiao Li said calmly, already having a general idea in his mind.

"Wang Ming~ You say he's his disciple? Give me proof!" Upon hearing the name Wang Ming, Su Wanyin's light softened considerably, but she still maintained a stern face and demanded proof from Xiao Li!
