Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 112 Interest comes first

With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yan pushed the Breakthrough Pill in front of Wuya: "Elder Wuya, you did a great job just now. In addition to the Breakthrough Pill we promised you, the Poison Sect will reward you with another Breakthrough Pill to help you break through to become a Dou Zong powerhouse as soon as possible."

Having witnessed the terror of a Dou Zong expert firsthand today, Wu Ya is even more fascinated by it.

Unexpectedly, his efforts had yielded such a generous reward. Wuya said with immense gratitude, "Thank you, Protector Yan!"

Several Douhuang powerhouses who joined the Poison Sect with Wuya looked at him with envy.

The Breakthrough Pill can increase the chances of a peak Douhuang expert advancing to Douzong by 10%, and even if the breakthrough fails, the strength can be stabilized at the level before the breakthrough.

Wuya has considerable talent and possesses two Breakthrough Pills, making his breakthrough to become a Dou Zong powerhouse seem almost certain.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "As long as you all work diligently for the Poison Sect, the Poison Sect will never treat any of you unfairly."

He couldn't determine whether Wuya was loyal or treacherous for the time being, but in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks were futile.

The worst outcome would be to waste some materials and create two more loyal Dou Zong puppets.

With Wuya's talent and the help of the Breakthrough Pill, his chances of breaking through to the Dou Zong realm are very high.

If Wuya is still secretly colluding with Wanxie Sect, then the second Breakthrough Pill will inevitably fall into the hands of Xieshan.

The power of Scorpion Mountain's fighting spirit is even greater than that of Centipede Cliff. With the sixth-grade pill, the Breakthrough Pill, becoming a Dou Zong powerhouse is only a matter of time.

Even in the chaotic Black Corner Region, the remains of two Dou Zong powerhouses are extremely rare.

Within the Black Corner Region, apart from Canaan Academy having two or more Dou Zong-level experts, there are very few major forces that can have a Dou Zong-level expert in charge.

Xiao Yan's generosity deepened the smiles on the faces of the red-robed elder and the others.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that with their talent, they could only reach the Douhuang level in their lifetime.

The Dou Zong realm... is truly beyond reach.

However, having such a powerful backer as the Poison Sect is much better than guarding one's own small territory.

The red-robed elder and the others were unaware of the existence of the Douhuang Star-Up Pill. If they knew about its terrifying effect—that it could increase the strength of a five-star Douhuang by one-third—they would surely work even harder to cultivate and obtain a chance to break through to the Douzong realm.

Of course, someone like the red-robed elder, who only possesses the strength of a one-star Dou Huang, needs to work much harder than others to have the opportunity to consume the Dou Huang Star-Up Pill.

Three more days passed.

Xiao Yan refined another Breakthrough Pill and gave it to Wu Ya. He also arranged the share of resources that each force needed to collect in the next quarter before letting everyone leave.

The Poison Sect gathers numerous forces, not only for its own development but also primarily to collect resources.

Using a sixth-grade Breakthrough Pill as an incentive, Xiao Yan also wanted to motivate those at the bottom to work harder to collect medicinal herbs and demon cores.

The Poison Sect members use their strength to obtain materials, and then exchange those materials for pills to advance their ranks, in order to travel to more dangerous places to obtain rarer resources, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

The Imperial Pill can be used to create the Douhuang Ascension Pill, and Xiao Yan naturally has innovations in pills for other realms as well.

Between each realm—Battle Master, Great Battle Master, Battle Spirit, and Battle King—there are pills that enhance strength without any side effects.

After leaving Tiandu City, the red-robed elder and his companions did not part ways. Instead, at Wuya's invitation, they went together to Wutian Mansion.

Having obtained two Breakthrough Pills, Wuya was practically a Dou Zong level expert, and everyone was eager to establish a good relationship with him as soon as possible.

The hall was still the same as it had been about six months ago. Unlike the anxiety and unease everyone felt that day because of the Poison Sect, everyone today was very happy to have joined the Poison Sect.

After a few rounds of drinks, Wuya seemed a little drunk. His flushed cheeks made the black centipede appear even more ferocious, as if it had come to life.

Setting down his wine bowl, Wuya's gaze swept over the crowd: "You all seem to be in a very good mood because you received the elixir?"

"Elder Wu, are you perhaps drunk? Are you upset that you obtained two Breakthrough Pills?" the red-robed elder asked with a smile.

His aptitude was the worst among everyone. If he were lucky enough to obtain such a precious pill as the Imperial Extreme Pill, he might be able to catch up with someone's strength and get rid of his bottom-ranking status.

Wuya chuckled and pondered, "Thinking back to about half a year ago, that Poison Sect Protector Yan easily defeated the five of us; our lives were hanging by a thread."

"He's so powerful. If we make any mistakes in the future, given his rate of improvement, we probably won't be able to withstand even one move from him."

The people of the Izumo Empire practiced poisonous fighting qi, which mixed many poisons into their bodies, causing serious deviations in their personalities.

Upon hearing Wuya's words, the burning sensation of receiving the pills receded like a tide, and everyone felt a chill in their hands and feet.

The memory of that mountain-like fire giant remains vivid in everyone's mind.

Outside, they are formidable and powerful Dou Huang experts who can stand alone, but when facing Protector Yan, they are as weak as ants.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Wu Ya slowly said, "Now that we have all obtained the pills, our strength will surely increase dramatically after taking them. Why don't we find an opportunity..."

Upon hearing Wuya's chilling voice, everyone, who had already sobered up considerably due to the power of the Flame God, instantly became fully awake. This banquet seemed to be more than just a simple affair!

"With just the few of us?" The red-robed elder shook his head with a smile. "I'm afraid that won't work. Scorpion Bi Yan broke through to the Dou Zong realm even earlier than Elder Centipede, and even he doesn't seem confident in defeating the Heavenly Poison Woman."

"Besides, why did we kill those two from the Poison Sect? Just because we're afraid of them making a baseless mistake later?" The red-robed elder said dismissively.

The others also looked at Wuya in confusion. Wuya had benefited the most this time, so why would he betray the Poison Sect?

Although the people of the Chuyun Empire are not known for their benevolence and integrity, such treacherous behavior as Wuya's, which turns on its own like a venomous snake, is extremely rare.

Wuya smiled and said, "To be able to reach the level of Dou Wang or Dou Huang at around twenty years old, and to frequently defeat the strong with the weak, is something that cannot be achieved by talent alone."

The fact that each of them has survived to this day in the Izumo Empire means that none of them are simple characters.

"You mean cultivation techniques and fighting skills?" The red-robed elder stared wide-eyed at Wuya, having suffered greatly under those fighting skills.

"Sect Leader Yan is right, it's all about cultivation techniques and combat skills!" Wu Ya slammed his hand on the table and laughed as he replied.

Thinking of Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor's many amazing abilities, everyone's heart trembled and their palms burned.

They were stunned by the beatings in the past, but now that they think about it carefully, these two people may indeed have good aptitude, but their cultivation techniques and fighting skills must have played a significant role.

I wonder which remote mountain cave gave him such an incredible stroke of luck...

Wuya slowly said, "Having cultivated to this level, you should all understand the benefits of high-level cultivation techniques. As for combat skills... just one of the techniques that Protector Yan possesses would probably benefit us for a lifetime."

"The item is indeed a good one, but obtaining it won't be that easy." The red-robed elder couldn't help but feel disheartened as he thought of Xiao Yan's seemingly endless fighting techniques.

Just then, an aged voice came from outside the hall: "It's not easy for a mere Dou Zong."

"Scorpion Rock! Scorpion Mountain!"

Upon seeing the two people enter, the red-robed elder and the others suddenly stood up, their powerful battle qi surging forth, causing their robes to billow and the energy in the hall to surge.

"Elder Scorpion is not an enemy," Centipede Cliff said as he stood up.

Seeing the three of them acting so familiar with each other, the red-robed elder and the others were shocked. It turned out that Wuya had long been colluding with the Wanxie Sect!

When did this happen? Everyone was puzzled, after all, just a few days ago Wuya was fighting the Wanxie Sect Master with all his might.

You can know a person's face but not their heart!

Poor Protector Yan thought Wuya was a loyal and devoted person...

Looking at the bewildered crowd, Xie Shan explained, "This attempt to seize the Poison Sect's pills was merely a test."

"If the Poison Sect is only of average strength, then the Myriad Scorpion Sect can take the opportunity to kill the Poison Sect Master, absorb the Poison Sect's forces, and make them work for the Myriad Scorpion Sect. If the Poison Sect is somewhat strong, then it's a good opportunity to test their strength."

Beneath the gray robe, Xie Shan clenched his fist slightly. The Poison Sect Protector Yan's strength was truly terrifying. If it weren't for Elder Xie's help, he probably wouldn't be able to deal with that special scorching poison.

"Sect Master, it's all my fault for not investigating properly, which led to you being ambushed by Protector Yan." Wu Ya knelt on the ground, raised his hand, and a jade bottle appeared out of thin air.

Wuya said, as if presenting a treasure, "This is a Breakthrough Pill that the Poison Sect has given as a reward. I believe that with the sect leader's talent, he will definitely be able to break through to become a Dou Zong powerhouse with this pill."

The red-robed elder and the others were stunned. What benefits had the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect given Wu Ya that were even more tempting than the two Breakthrough Pills they had given him? They were acting like sycophants.

"Breakthrough Pill!" Even though Scorpion Mountain was usually very composed, his hands trembled slightly as he picked up the jade bottle when he saw the pill that could help him break through the shackles that had bound him for many years.

Xie Biyan laughed loudly: "Good!"

"With this Breakthrough Pill, we'll have three Dou Zong experts with us. Those two young men from the Poison Sect are doomed!"

The old man in the red robe smiled bitterly and said, "Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid it's too late for us to refuse."

Scorpion Biyan said amicably, "Don't worry, after it's done, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect will not treat you all unfairly. We still need to study and cultivate those profound techniques and fighting skills together. However, before that, in order to ensure everyone is of one mind, we will need to take some necessary measures."

As he spoke, Xie Biyan stretched out his withered hand, and from beneath his sleeve, a surge of energy emerged as four colorful scorpions slowly crawled out.

"It's actually the Seven-Colored Deadly Scorpion!" The red-robed elder gasped.

"That's right, you actually recognize it?" Xie Biyan glanced admiringly at the red-robed elder with the lowest strength. "This Seven-Colored Deadly Scorpion isn't a deadly poison that kills instantly, but it takes quite a bit of effort to cultivate."

Everyone looked at the red-robed elder. What was so special about this scorpion?

The red-robed elder continued, "The Seven-Colored Deadly Scorpion needs to be fed with seven different poisonous insects and toxins every day, consuming countless medicinal herbs. It takes at least three years to mature. Once a mature Seven-Colored Deadly Scorpion stings someone, the toxins inside its body will be injected all at once."

"This toxin does not initially harm people. It accumulates in the body for about a year, slowly combining with battle qi, and finally explodes completely, leaving no trace of the person's body."

"Because the insects and poisons fed to the animals are of a wide variety, only the breeder knows how to neutralize these strange and potent toxins."

Xie Biyan said, "Since you know how powerful this little guy of mine is, then please."

The opponent had one Dou Zong and two peak Dou Huangs. The red-robed elder gritted his teeth and reached out to catch the Seven-Colored Deadly Scorpion.

The others sighed and reached out to let the Seven-Colored Deadly Scorpion sting their hands, feeling utterly helpless.

First, the Poison Sect kneaded them like dough, and now the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect poisoned them at will.

Despite their immense prestige in public, these powerful Dou Huangs were like servants in the presence of true experts, completely at their beck and call!

All of this is due to strength!

Looking at the four little scorpions falling to the ground with a thud, Scorpion Bi Yan smiled slightly: "In that case, we are family now."

Stung by the Seven-Colored Deadly Scorpion, the four Dou Huangs felt as if a cold wind had blown through their bodies, chilling them to the bone. They had never experienced such a strange poison before.

Xie Biyan told everyone his plan and then asked Wuya to arrange for everyone to start taking pills and cultivating from that day onwards.

After a while, Wuya sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, looking at the jade bottle containing the Breakthrough Pill in his hand, a sinister smile on his face.

The Poison Sect's treatment is indeed not bad, but a true man born between heaven and earth, how can he remain subservient to others for long?!

If he helps the Poison Sect wipe out the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, he will indeed make another contribution and receive a reward from the Poison Sect, but at most he will only reach the initial stage of the Dou Zong realm in his lifetime.

Only when the Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect fight to the death can he take advantage of the chaos.

"Cultivation techniques, combat skills, the Izumo Empire—they're all mine, mine, all mine!!!"

With everyone in seclusion, nothing earth-shattering happened in the Izumo Empire, and it remained quiet for half a year.

Within a stone forest on the mountain where Xiao Yan, the Little Fairy Doctor, resides, various poisonous herbs grow, emanating a faint fishy smell that eventually lingers above the stone forest, forming a thin layer of miasma.

This extremely toxic miasma is so potent that even a Dou Wang (Battle King) expert would not dare to inhale it casually.

Occasionally, some poisonous insects and snakes would dart past among the strange rocks. These creatures, which are quite rare poisonous animals in the outside world, are unusually common here.

The resources gathered from the entire Yun Empire and some of the Jia Ma Empire were nothing special to Xiao Yan.

In the center of the stone forest, there is a small pool paved with black stones. Around the pool are four venomous snake heads. The giant snakes have their mouths wide open, and as they flick their tongues, streams of black liquid continuously flow out from them, eventually dripping into the pool.

Inside the pool was a pool of extremely black water. The water was so black that the bottom was completely invisible; even attempts to penetrate it with spiritual power were repelled.

A faint mist lingered in the air above the pool, carrying a slightly fishy smell, clearly indicating that it was also highly poisonous.

The pool contains hundreds of poisonous herbs and insects, as well as highly toxic substances refined from poisonous magic cores. It is the place where Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor cultivate.

With a gentle touch, she unbuttoned the dress, revealing a graceful, ivory-white body clad in an exquisite bodice. Even Xiao Yan's eyesight only allowed him to make out a vague outline.

The Fairy Doctor's delicate feet lightly parted the highly poisonous water, her appearance resembling that of a mermaid about to enter the water.
