Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 116 Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Pill

As Xiao Yan's languid voice faded, Gu He's aura paused. 🐍🐝 ➅➈丂卄𝔲ⓧ.cσᗰ ♝☜

"Could it be that he really possesses the strength of a seventh-rank cultivator!"

Looking at Xiao Yan's terrifyingly young face, he still had unbelievable thoughts in his heart, but now he had been forced into a dead end.

"Fine, whatever the circumstances, I'm going to fight today!"

Gu He roared inwardly, and with a wave of his hand, an ancient, simple medicine cauldron, its entire body a bluish-purple, appeared before him.

"Guhe, no matter the outcome today, our sect will severely punish your rudeness," Yunshan said with a gloomy expression.

"After this competition, Gu He will accept any punishment from the old sect master." Facing Yun Shan's expression, Gu He still gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

"This child is as stubborn as a donkey." Yun Potian shook his head helplessly as he floated on his memorial tablet.

Having experienced true life and death, he was not greatly affected. Instead, Xiao Yan's talent gave him a dreamlike feeling.

When he was at the Dou Zun realm, he had also roamed the Central Continent and visited the Pill Tower, but the most monstrous person he encountered at that age was only a fifth-rank cultivator.

Even so, it far exceeded the imagination of the people of the Northwest Continent, and the seventh rank was indeed too fantastical.

"Does he really have the skill level of a seventh-grade alchemist?" Yun Yun, standing behind Xiao Yan, stared blankly at him.

She hasn't reached the point of liking Xiao Yan yet, but the young man's domineering roguishness and his astonishing talent are always more impressive than his background.

"Today, I, the young master, will show you what true alchemy is!"

Faced with Gu He's challenge, Xiao Yan smiled nonchalantly, and the medicine cauldron appeared in front of him as well.

At this moment, he was not only handsome and dashing in his white robe, but also exuded unparalleled confidence. Such a smile instantly made many female disciples of the Yunlan Sect feel their hearts flutter.

Even Nalan Yanran, standing behind Xiao Yan, had her beautiful eyes sparkling. No matter what, she had to admit that Xiao Yan did indeed possess a captivating charm at this moment.

No matter how proud a young girl is when she first falls in love, she is now truly attracted to Xiao Yan.

"If only he had come to fulfill the engagement back then." A strange thought rose in Nalan Yanran's mind, but she quickly suppressed it.

"No matter how strong Xiao Yan is, he's just a lecher. What's so good about a lecher like him?" Nalan Yanran thought angrily, but she couldn't help but recall the two times Xiao Yan carried her through the air.

As she savored the memory, her pretty face turned red.

"Yanran, my Yanran!" Liu Ling, who was standing next to Gu He, felt her heart bleed at the sight.

Nalan Yanran's appearance clearly shows that she has already fallen for that boy named Xiao Yan!

But Liu Ling was helpless at this moment. This kid was younger than him, had a better background, and what made him most powerless was that his strength was even more terrifying than his teacher's.

Faced with such a rival, Liu Ling didn't even dare to think of challenging him.

"Teacher! You have to live up to expectations!" Liu Ling secretly encouraged Gu He.

The two high-level alchemists were competing, and although everyone present could smell the tension, they all watched with wide eyes.

Such a scene is not something they often see, especially the alchemists on Alchemy Peak, who are completely focused, as this is a rare learning opportunity.

Seeing the calm smile on Xiao Yan's face, Gu He suppressed the unease in his heart. With a flash of his storage ring, countless medicinal herbs appeared in front of him. Among them, the most eye-catching was an ancient golden vine.

"The Imperial Immortal Vine? This old sycophant wants to refine the Imperial Elixir?"

Xiao Yan looked at the scene before him, smiled and shook his head. Half a year ago, Gu He was still capable, but half a year later, he was nothing but a failure.

"You go first." Xiao Yan casually extended his hand to Gu He.

This sight immediately made the eyes of countless girls in the Yunlan Sect light up.

A sixteen-year-old boy, handsome and dashing, with terrifying strength that could suppress the older generation, is simply the legendary dream lover.

"Hmph, I think you're just pretending to be calm!" Gu He suppressed his inner unease, opened his mouth and spat out a ball of blue flame that fell into the medicine cauldron.

"What kind of trashy beast fire is this?" Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, suddenly looked at Gu He with a hint of pity.

Judging from the intensity of the blue flame, it could only be the beast fire of a sixth-tier magical beast at most, or even just the beast fire of a relatively strong fifth-tier magical beast.

"We're really poor." Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly.

In the Xiao clan, even alchemists among the descendants can obtain such beast fire seeds on their very first day as alchemists.

If one reaches the fifth or sixth rank, one is eligible to apply for the beast fire of seventh or even eighth-rank magical beasts.

Looking around Zhongzhou, he saw that the young men he had met in the Pill Tower were all using the worst kind of beast fire from sixth-order magical beasts.

However, Gu He, who is already a sixth-grade alchemist, can only use beast fire of this level.

Xiao Yan suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

But it makes sense. Although Gu He is a sixth-grade alchemist, he doesn't know many Dou Zong experts, so naturally no one can help him obtain a seventh-grade beast fire.

"Why is this guy looking at me so strangely?" Gu He felt a little puzzled as he sensed Xiao Yan's gaze.

"Heh, he's definitely trying to distract me. This kid's got a guilty conscience!"

Gu He comforted himself inwardly, and once his mind was settled, he began to refine the medicine.

However, this level of beast fire is far less effective in helping with alchemy. Not to mention the quality, the time required to refine the pills is much longer than that of Xiao Yan.

"Damn, this is so slow." Seeing his sluggish manner, Xiao Yan yawned out of boredom, and finally sat down in his seat to start meditating and cultivating.

"This guy has a really good attitude."

Yun Yun and her apprentice glanced helplessly at Xiao Yan. Fortunately, everyone present had at least the cultivation level of a Dou Shi, so they could endure not sleeping for several days.

They were willing to stay up all night to watch two high-level alchemists livestream their alchemy process.

Xiao Yan continued his cultivation slowly until two days later, a clear sound of a pill rang out, waking him from his practice. When he opened his eyes, a golden pill was floating in front of Gu He.

Many people showed excitement on their faces when they saw this.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, it's your turn!" Gu He's eyes were bloodshot, but his spirits remained high. Whether he could save face in front of his beloved depended on what happened next.

"What's so great about a single Imperial Pill?" Xiao Yan curled his lip, stood up, and walked to the medicine cauldron.

With a flick of his finger, hundreds of precious medicinal herbs floated in front of the medicine cauldron.

Upon seeing these medicinal herbs, many alchemists, including Gu He, had their pupils shrink.

Because many of these medicinal materials are the main ingredients for seventh-grade elixirs.

Heavenly Thunder Fruit, Nine Spirits Tempering Saliva, and the magic core of a sixth-tier lightning-attribute magical beast.

The pill that Xiao Yan is about to refine is called the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Pill.

This pill can use the power of heavenly lightning to assist in tempering the body. If taken and combined with appropriate body-refining techniques, the physical body can be tempered to the point where it can withstand a Dou Huang.

"My turn!" Xiao Yan smiled slightly as he looked at Gu He's unnatural expression, and a black and white flame rose from his fingertips.

As the flame rose, the alchemists present all changed their expressions drastically!
