In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 25 Xiao Yan Gets Rich

"Okay, Brother Xiao Ran."

"Just go then, Elder Ling will protect you!" Xiao Xun'er nodded obediently.

"Okay, thank you, Xun'er." Xiao Ran smiled and pinched Xiao Xun'er's fair and smooth cheek.

After saying goodnight to Xiao Xun'er, he watched as she carried the huge monster doll back to her room, turning back every few steps.

He had obviously returned to his own courtyard.

Unbeknownst to him, he had a very enjoyable time playing with Xiao Xun'er today.

Meanwhile, in the deserted Xiao family's back mountain.

Xiao Yan's wild and unrestrained laughter rang out, startling countless beasts and birds that roosted there at night.

"Gah gah gah, a low-level Xuan-rank combat skill: Absorb Palm!"

"I'm rich! Hahaha!"

On the Dou Qi Continent, fighting techniques are valued no less than Dou Qi cultivation methods.

A profound fighting technique can enable a person to unleash a power far exceeding their own strength during battle.

The fighting techniques circulating at the bottom of the Dou Qi Continent are at most only around the high level of the Yellow Rank.

Higher-level combat skills can only be obtained by going to certain academies or sects.

Xiao Yan bought a magic core and incidentally obtained this low-level Xuan-rank fighting skill without spending a single penny.

It's safe to say that it's been turned upside down.

The wild laughter lasted for quite a while before gradually subsiding.

Then Xiao Ran took out the clay figurine he had snatched from the street stall from his bosom.

With a gentle pinch, the clay figurine shattered.

The soil fell, and a blue object landed on the ground.

Xiao Yan hurriedly picked up the things that had fallen to the ground and was overjoyed when he saw them.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"I never expected that a low-level storage ring would be hidden inside this clay figure!"

"I wonder whose unlucky guy got this stuff, I'm so lucky! Hahaha!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly used his spiritual power to enter the storage ring and immediately jumped up excitedly.

"I'm rich! I'm rich!"

"Hahaha."

Just as Xiao Yan was laughing wildly and unrestrainedly, Yao Lao's figure appeared out of thin air.

"What are you laughing at, kid? Did you eat bee poop?!"

After being reprimanded, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback and then calmed down a bit.

However, looking at the two things in his hand...

Unable to contain his joy, he gave the medicine a thumbs up.

"Teacher, you have such a great eye!"

"Both of the two items you suggested I choose contain some really good stuff."

"This unassuming black iron plate contains a low-level Xuan-rank combat technique!"

"Inside another clay doll, there's a low-level storage ring containing a full one million gold coins!"

"Hahaha! We're rich now!"

"Now I'm a member of the storage ring clan too! I was originally planning to earn some money and buy another storage ring!"

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was gesturing wildly, Yao Lao raised his head with a smug look, as if he were a superior being.

"That's right! Don't you even know who I am!"

"These eyes of mine were once known as the Fiery Eyes of Truth, capable of seeing through anything; they were certified by the Pill Tower!"

Then, seeing Xiao Yan's silly grin, he laughed and scolded,

"Alright! Hurry up and put this thing away."

"You can slowly cultivate it later and transform it into your strength."

"You're not even a Dou Zhe yet, so you can't unleash the full power of that mysterious Xuan-rank Dou Technique."

"Yes! I understand, teacher."

Xiao Yan nodded seriously.

Then, he asked, "Teacher, what did you just say? The Pill Tower? What kind of place is that?"

The old apothecary was slightly taken aback. "Did I say that?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yan nodded.

The old doctor nodded.

"Oh, then you must have misheard!"

Xiao Yan: "..."

The old doctor advised, "Young man, it's best to take things one step at a time. Aiming too high is not a good thing!"

"There are some things that I will naturally tell you when the time comes!"

"Yes, teacher, I understand!"

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded and asked,

"Teacher, what should I do next?"

The old doctor smiled and said, "You've bought all the ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Elixir today. Let's go back first, and I'll refine the elixir for you."

"You will begin absorbing the medicinal liquid and cultivating tonight."

"Little Yanzi, the path of cultivation ahead is arduous, and the hardships and toil involved are beyond words."

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, teacher! I'm ready!"

"Being ridiculed for three years hasn't changed my determination to cultivate diligently! Not to mention the hardships and exhaustion of the cultivation process!"

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, his fighting spirit high.

The old doctor nodded in satisfaction.

However, seeing Xiao Yan's high spirits, there were still some things he didn't say.

Xiao Yan returned to his room and closed the door, taking advantage of the quiet of the night.

He took out the medicinal herbs he had purchased that day and asked the old herbalist to prepare the Foundation Building Elixir for him.

The old apothecary picked up a purple-leaf orchid with his left hand, and then a ball of white flame suddenly leaped out of his palm.

As soon as the flames appeared in the room, the temperature would inevitably rise sharply.

Xiao Yan stared in astonishment at the ball of flame in Yao Lao's hand, deeply shocked.

He was unaware of the alchemist's process for making medicine.

But just from the name of the old doctor, he was certain that his teacher must be a master!

Even his own father couldn't do that.

He really pulled a knife on his butt, what an eye-opener!

Soon, the purple-leaf orchid in the old doctor's hand was engulfed by flames.

Almost instantly, it condensed into a mass of green liquid.

Then, without pausing, Yao Lao grabbed another purple-leaf orchid and threw it directly into the flames.

……

After all three purple-leaf orchids were refined, the original green liquid became even larger.

Then, the old man began to use the flame in his hand to refine the magic core.

These steps alone took about an hour.

The old doctor's face showed no sign of fatigue.

Looking at the old doctor's palm, there was a drop of liquid that looked like jade.

Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together impatiently.

"Teacher, is this the Foundation Establishment Elixir?"

"Should I mix it with water or swallow it whole? But there's only a little bit, not even enough for one bite."

The old man tapped Xiao Yan on the head in an annoyed tone.

"If you want to die, just take it."

"With your current physical condition, you'll soon become a complete waste."

Then, Yao Lao flicked his finger, and the jade liquid fell into the bucket of water that Xiao Yan had already prepared in the room.

In just a moment, the clear water in the basin suddenly turned blue.

"From now on, you can cultivate here. With your talent, returning to the seventh level of Dou Qi within a year is not difficult at all."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

The old apothecary nodded slowly, and then said,

"This potion will only last for two months, but you have a large sum of gold coins right now, so it's not a big deal."

"Go out and buy more medicinal herbs tomorrow, just in case."

"I understand, teacher."

Xiao Yan nodded, and then said,

"Teacher, I have an idea, but I don't know what you think?"

"Oh? Tell me about it," the old medicine doctor asked curiously.
