Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 46 Nine-Turn Golden Elixir

"Not bad, your soul power has reached the mid-seventh grade level. ☜✌ 6❾ˢ𝐇Ǘ𝕩.ᑕ𝑜𝐦 ♠♔" Yao Lao stroked his beard with satisfaction, looking at Xiao Yan with a smile in his eyes.

"With your seventh-grade mid-level soul power, plus the honing of your alchemy skills over the past three months, your efficiency in refining the Imperial Extreme Pill should be much higher than before. You should even be able to refine sixth-grade peak pills now."

If you could obtain a different kind of fire, you would have a chance to reach the seventh rank of alchemist. Even without obtaining a different kind of fire, with your talent, you should be able to reach the seventh rank within a year at most.

Thinking of this, the old doctor's face blossomed like a chrysanthemum.

A 16-year-old seventh-grade alchemist—this record is probably the most terrifying in the last thousand years.

"It's just a strange fire. I'll just kill my senior brother and then devour his Sea Heart Flame." Xiao Yan chuckled.

"Why do you always have such a strong desire to kill your senior brother?" Yao Lao frowned.

"This man is wicked and has been eyeing the Burning Technique for a long time. Old man, do you believe that if someone tries to lure you with benefits, he will immediately betray you, his teacher who is like a father to him?"

Xiao Yan sneered.

"Although Feng'er has taken a wrong turn, he was raised by me since he was a child, so he won't do that." The old doctor shook his head.

"Besides, do you really think you're so righteous?"

If Han Feng is a villain hiding in the shadows, then Xiao Yan is a bandit in the open, taking whatever he wants and robbing it if he can't have it!

"Hehe." Xiao Yan chuckled and said nothing more.

After all, I raised them myself, so it's inevitable that I'll have deep feelings for them.

He was determined to get rid of Han Feng sooner or later. Although he was incapable of betraying his own family, he was no less ruthless than Han Feng. He wasn't after anything else; the mere thought of the Sea Heart Flame was enough to motivate him to deal with Han Feng.

In addition, he had always disliked Han Feng, so killing him was no big deal.

If you want to succeed, kill the Holy Mother first.

The first three months of the Danta Junior Class focus on theoretical foundations, but after three months, the emphasis shifts to practical application.

"Dear students, after three months of theoretical instruction, you must have acquired a wealth of theoretical knowledge. In that case, I hope that you can independently develop your own prescription."

The formula for the elixir doesn't need to be of a high grade, but it's best to create it yourself. If you really feel that your abilities are insufficient, you can improve upon the work of predecessors.

A robust, middle-aged man dressed in white stood in the alchemy plaza, smiling as he looked at a group of gifted young people.

Although this person was physically imposing, his face exuded an air of authority befitting someone who had long held a high position, along with a profound academic aura, somewhat reminiscent of an academic leader from a previous life.

This is a peak seventh-grade alchemist, known as Elder Li. It is said that he is only one step away from breaking through to the eighth grade, and he is considered a prominent figure in the Pill Tower.

Upon hearing the question posed by the old man, the group of teenagers immediately looked worried.

Everyone knows that alchemists' recipes are mostly the result of countless experiments. They have strict control over both the flame and the dosage of the medicine. If they are even slightly off, the medicine could become poison.

Even Xiao Yan frowned slightly at this problem.

"Hehe, students, think carefully. If you have any ideas, feel free to try them out. I will be there to guide you, and I will explain anything you have any questions about."

Elder Li said confidently that although he was not an eighth-grade alchemist, his understanding of the medicinal properties of low- and mid-grade pills was terrifying, and even ordinary eighth-grade alchemists might not be able to compare with him.

This also reveals the powerful foundation of the Danta from another perspective.

Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the many young people, Elder Li revealed a profound and unfathomable smile.

Having finally managed to attend a few classes, I naturally wanted to show off my talents. If a few geniuses admired my abilities and decided to become my students, I would have struck gold.

As he was thinking, he heard a whooshing sound and turned to look, only to see that Xiao Yan had lit a fire in the furnace at some point.

"Xiao Yan, you've lit the furnace so quickly. Do you already have an idea?" Elder Li's eyes lit up. If he could give Xiao Yan some guidance, he would have something to brag about in the future.

Imagine how prestigious it would be if Xiao Yan became a ninth-grade alchemist and I could say that I guided him in developing pill formulas when he was young.

Xiao Yan nodded to him, then turned back to look at Dan Chen, and with a smile, tossed a sixth-order magical beast's core into the medicine cauldron.

Elder Li's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Xiao Yan, I only asked you to create or improve a pill formula at will. Why did you have to use the magic core of a sixth-order magical beast to experiment?"

Although the elders of the Pill Tower each possess a few magic cores from sixth-tier magical beasts, they are not as common as cabbages on the roadside. Even a seventh-grade alchemist would feel a pang of regret if they ruined one.

"Teacher, I want to improve a set of sixth-grade pills, so naturally I need to use sixth-order magic cores to refine them." Xiao Yan smiled slightly.

"Sixth, sixth-grade pills." Elder Li's lips twitched involuntarily. His original intention was to have these youngsters refine second or third-grade pills so that he could show off. However, he never expected that Xiao Yan would directly modify the sixth-grade pill formula.

Elder Li lived for over two hundred years, and he personally created only two sixth-grade pill formulas, and successfully modified only three of them.

Sixth-tier magic core, Snow Moon Clarity, Imperial Immortal Vine, Azure Cloud Feather Leaf.

As Elder Li watched Xiao Yan throw in the precious materials one by one, his lips twitched involuntarily.

The value of these precious materials is enough to refine a seventh-grade pill; using them for experiments seems a bit extravagant.

Elder Li's lips twitched, but Dan Chen, who was not far away, was overjoyed as she watched this scene. Her crystal-clear peach blossom eyes were filled with longing as she looked at Xiao Yan.

In just three months, she had completely fallen for Xiao Yan.

The pill that Xiao Yan was refining at this moment was the upgraded version of the Royal Extreme Pill that the two of them had discussed many times, which made Dan Chen feel valued.

On the other hand, Cao Ying had a cold face. Although Xiao Yan was not as indifferent to her as before in the past three months, he was still not as cold as he had been at the beginning.

For some reason, Cao Ying always inexplicably hoped that Xiao Yan would act like a rogue in front of her again.

While Xiao Yan was refining pills, his many disciples initially scratched their heads in thought, but as time passed, flames began to rise one by one.

However, most of the pills they refined were second- or third-grade pills, which finally brought a smile to Elder Li's face.

It's finally my turn to show off!

A mysterious smile returned to his face as he pointed out the talents one by one.

He seemed like a learned and compassionate teacher.

"Shi Hao, what kind of pill are you trying to refine?" Elder Li asked with a smile, looking at the little boy who loved to drink animal milk.

The little boy had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was cute and slightly chubby. He was the darling of the gifted youth class, especially Xiao Yan, who took extra care of this child who would one day dominate the ages.

"Elder Li, I want to modify the formula for that Nine-Turn Qi-Regulating Pill, upgrading it from a Grade One pill to a Grade Two pill." Shi Hao hadn't yet undergone his second puberty, and his voice was still that of a young boy.

"Haha, good. Although it's an improved first-grade pill, you're still considered a genius for your age. Tell me, what name do you plan to give the new pill?"

Elder Li patted the chubby boy's head with satisfaction. Only a child like this could give him a chance to show off. Look at Xiao Yan, he can't even figure things out himself.

"I'm going to call it the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir!" Shi Hao said happily.

Elder Li's smile froze instantly.
