Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 47 Yin Yang Twin Flames

Nine-Turn Qi-Clearing Pill, as the name suggests, is a pill that promotes the flow of qi (vital energy). What does "qi-clearing" mean? It means that the medicinal properties enhance the strength of the digestive system, further cleansing the user's intestines and stomach, thus achieving the effect of promoting qi circulation and detoxification. 🐙☢ ♣☢

Simply put, it's a laxative. However, while ordinary laxatives can damage the stomach and intestines, Jiuzhuan Tongqi Dan can protect or even strengthen the user's stomach and intestines.

For those whose battle qi cultivation is not high, they cannot yet use battle qi to control their internal organs, and sometimes they need this kind of elixir.

"Shi Hao, you have chosen a very good name, but don't you think it's a bit of a waste to use such a good name as Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir on a second-grade pill?" Elder Li tried his best to make his smile as amiable as possible.

"Teacher, I think it's great," Shi Haotian said innocently.

"Alright then, you can call it that, but this name might not be successfully registered in the future." Elder Li rubbed his forehead.

He then instructed, "The main ingredient of the Nine-Turn Qi-Clearing Pill is the large intestine of a second-tier magical beast. What you need to do is use nine medicinal herbs to cleanse the large intestine of impurities, preserving its most primal energy. Do you understand?"

"I understand, teacher. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to master it!" Shi Hao nodded obediently.

"You can choose from dozens of medicinal herbs such as water hyacinth and purple mint to combine. Second-grade pills are relatively easy to refine, as long as you use them properly."

As Elder Li was giving instructions, he felt the communication jade talisman in his storage ring vibrate slightly.

"Students, you continue practicing. I'm going to a meeting, I'll be back soon," Elder Li said, then vanished in a blur.

Shi Hao carefully recalled Elder Li's words, and after a moment, he took out a small jar of beast milk from his storage ring.

"Ton ton ton!" After downing a bottle of beast milk, he wiped the white liquid from the corner of his mouth and spat out a ball of blue flame.

The sixth-tier magical beast, Azure Scale Eagle Flame.

Looking at the blue flames rising in the alchemy furnace, Shi Hao threw in a half-meter-long section of the large intestine of a second-tier magical beast, the Red Cloud Pig.

"Boom!" As soon as the large intestine entered the alchemy furnace, blue flames swept up.

"Preserve the original essence of the large intestine," Shi Hao murmured softly.

The blue flames scorched it, and soon, the half-meter-long large intestine began to shrink rapidly.

"It's not enough yet; the primordial energy hasn't been extracted." Shi Hao stared intently at the situation inside the alchemy furnace.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the large intestine had shrunk considerably, and a lot of powder had been baked out. Under normal circumstances, this would be the raw material for refining the Nine-Turn Qi-Regulating Pill.

However, in order to extract the best quality large intestine as described by his teacher, Shi Hao continued to roast it, since this kind of large intestine was very cheap.

Ten minutes later, the blackened large intestine, which had been roasted to the size of a finger, burst open with a "pop," and Shi Hao's face showed a hint of disappointment.

He was, after all, a twelve-year-old child, and couldn't maintain a calm and composed mindset all the time.

Just as he was about to take out a new section of large intestine, a clump of golden powder appeared in the medicine cauldron.

"Hmm?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up.

"The origin of the large intestine, hahaha, I've finally extracted it." Shi Hao's face showed a hint of excitement as he quickly took out the golden powder and placed it in a jade bottle.

"Why is there a slight fishy smell?" He frowned for a moment, then relaxed again.

The large intestine of the Red Cloud Pig is naturally smelly, and it's normal for it to have some odor in its origin. In the world of alchemy, many pills do not have a medicinal fragrance.

Some of these pills also have various strange flavors.

He calmed himself down and then began refining the remaining ingredients.

Flames rose in the square, and the young people were all immersed in creating and improving the new elixir formula.

In a large hall at the top of the Pill Tower, experts gathered, including many high-level alchemists, and even Elder Yao was among them.

"Is everyone here?" Xuan Kongzi glanced at the many alchemists in the hall.

"Everyone's here, everyone's here." The Grand Elder said, "Except for a few who are in seclusion, everyone else is here. But, President, isn't there one extra person at this meeting?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the old doctor again.

"Old Lin, don't be so stingy. You'll suffer again if you keep this up," Yao Lao said with a smile.

"You!" The elder's face showed a hint of anger.

"It's alright!" Xuan Kongzi waved his hand and said, "What I'm about to say isn't a secret. I'm just letting you know here. With Yao Chen's influence, he'll find out by tonight at the latest."

He paused for a moment before speaking, "Gentlemen, the reason I've summoned you here today is to announce some news: a strange fire has appeared in the western part of Central Continent!"

"A strange fire has been born!" Upon hearing this, the previously silent elders became excited.

The allure of a different kind of fire to an alchemist is immense. With a different kind of fire by their side, an alchemist's alchemy skills can be elevated to a whole new level. Moreover, different kind of fire also has an amplifying effect in combat.

As for the dangers of refining strange flames, many alchemists are willing to take the risk.

Isn't it precisely because of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh, that the Medicine Venerable Yao Chen present here is able to subtly suppress the three giants of the Pill Tower in alchemy?

"President, I wonder what kind of strange fire has emerged this time?" an elder asked, standing up.

"This time, the strange fire that has emerged," Xuan Kongzi pondered for a moment before saying calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, this strange fire should be the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, ranked twenty-first."

"Yin-Yang Twin Flames?" The alchemists' faces first showed a hint of disappointment, then a hint of joy.

Disappointingly, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames only ranked twenty-first, and its power was much weaker than Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Flame. On the bright side, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames should be much easier to subdue than the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Xuan Kongzi suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Everyone, please don't rush."

"This strange fire might not belong to us old folks."

"What are you talking about? What kind of talk is this?" Some alchemists were unhappy. Many of them were already very old, and if nothing unexpected happened, their alchemy skills would be exhausted in this lifetime. The strange fire was one of those unexpected events.

"This strange fire appeared in the fertile plains of western Central Continent. It is said that not long ago, the space above the fertile plains shattered out of thin air, and the ruins of an ancient city fell from the sky."

Xuan Kongzi ignored the alchemists' complaints and continued speaking.

"As you all know, being able to hide a city in space is something only a Dou Sheng level expert can accomplish."

Before his death, this powerful Dou Sheng had tampered with the ruins, preventing anyone with a cultivation level above Dou Zong from entering the ancient city.

If any force with overwhelming power were to forcibly intrude, the ancient city would explode, along with the methods left behind by that Dou Sheng powerhouse and that Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on the faces of many alchemists.

Only the old doctor showed a hint of happiness on his face.

The first dungeon is about to open, and my first round of recommendations is about to begin. Those of you who have made it this far must be true fans, so please follow along and support me.

Without further ado, I'll increase the update frequency after the book is successfully published. Thank you!!
