Fighting Through the Heavens: Become a disciple of Han Li and kill the unrivaled demon Xiao

Xiao Yan was gasping for breath, his chest rising and falling. His whole body was sore and numb that he was too lazy to even move a finger.

"Practicing at this time will have the best effect."

Glancing at Xiao Yan who was lying on the ground like mud, Han Li said indifferently.

After a while of laziness and diligence struggling in his heart, Xiao Yan had no choice but to sit up with a wail of reluctance, put his trembling hands in the seal of cultivation, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yan like this, Han Li smiled with satisfaction.

If you want to become an excellent alchemist, you will have to endure a lot of hardships in the future.

If you can't even bear these, you might as well give up early.

His gaze shifted to the dozen or so jade boxes placed in front of the medicine cauldron. The jade boxes were filled with pale white powder extracted from medicinal materials. These were the results of Xiao Yan's hard work over the past two days.

Looking at the jade boxes from left to right, the pale white color becomes increasingly richer, and by the time you get to the last jade box, the white powder inside has almost reached a pure white texture.

Looking at this extremely obvious progress, Han Li nodded in amazement, and once again praised Xiao Yan's excellent soul perception in his heart.

This kid seems to be born to be an alchemist.

Thinking back to the past, if he hadn't relied on the Palm of Heaven Bottle to produce a large number of precious spiritual herbs and had many opportunities to trial and error, with his talent, he would never have been able to become a famous Heavenly Pill Master.

After resting with his eyes closed for nearly an hour, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit was almost restored, so he continued to refine medicine.

Just like this, Xiao Yan, who was just beginning to learn how to make medicine, performed the same actions tirelessly over and over again under Han Li's guidance.

In this way, time flies and another three days have passed.

In the cave, Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly withdrew his hand from the fire. As Xiao Yan withdrew his hand, the flame in the medicine cauldron gradually went out.

Looking at Xiao Yan who was gasping for breath, Han Li smiled slightly. With a wave of his hand, the lid of the medicine cauldron flew off. With a wave of his right hand, a large ball of dark red paste in the cauldron flew out of the air and finally hovered in the air in the cave.

Glancing at the ball of crimson paste that exuded a strong medicinal smell, Han Li cut it off with his palm. As his palm waved, the ball of constantly flowing crimson paste was divided into at least hundreds of tiny pieces of paste liquid.

Han Li took the storage ring from Xiao Yan with one hand and flicked his fingers. Hundreds of small jade bottles suddenly filled the narrow cave.

After placing the jade bottle, Han Li waved his hand casually, and the paste liquid in the air fell accurately into the jade bottle.

Han Li casually picked up a jade bottle and handed it to Xiao Yan, smiling and saying, "Congratulations, you succeeded in refining medicine for the first time!"

Xiao Yan couldn't wait to take the jade bottle. Looking at the not-so-pure deep red liquid inside, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and pride in his heart.

"From now on, I am also considered an alchemist!"

…………

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.

Still in the cave in the back mountain, Xiao Yan looked at the flaming medicine cauldron in front of him, then slowly picked up several kinds of medicinal herbs and threw them into the cauldron in an orderly manner.

Under the suppression of soul perception, the ferocious flames suddenly became as docile as a sheep, gently wrapping up the medicinal materials thrown into the medicine cauldron, and then extracting all kinds of essential materials needed to refine the pills.

Under Xiao Yan's gentle refining, the prototype of a pill was slowly taking shape in the medicine cauldron.

As Xiao Yan concentrated, time passed quickly. After the pill in the medicine cauldron rolled over countless times, it finally became round and plump.

Looking at the color of the pill's surface, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and his hand slowly left the medicine cauldron. As his hand withdrew, the flame in the medicine cauldron also slowly dissipated.

With a flick of his finger, the lid of the medicine cauldron was blown down by a gust of wind. Xiao Yan waved his hand and a light yellow pill broke out of the cauldron and flew quickly towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan quickly grabbed a jade bottle and raised it in front of him, and the pale yellow pill was accurately placed in it.

"Yes, you have made rapid progress."

On the side, watching Xiao Yan's performance, Han Li smiled and praised.

"Congratulations, with your current level, you have reached the requirements of a first-grade alchemist."

In the past three months, Xiao Yan has successfully refined several different first-grade elixirs, and the success rate has reached over 40%.

This has already reached the assessment standard for first-grade alchemists required by the Alchemist Guild.

"I finally succeeded!"

Hearing Han Li's words, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and excitement appeared on his tired face.

After three months of hard training, he finally became an alchemist!

After a while, Xiao Yan slowly stood up with his numb body. Unexpectedly, he did not continue to practice Dou Qi, but instead changed into a slightly decent black suit...

One month before the coming-of-age ceremony, everyone needs to participate in a prediction.

The purpose of prediction is naturally to eliminate those who do not meet the standards of fighting spirit. After the adult ceremony, the tribesmen whose fighting spirit is above the seventh level will be qualified to enter the Fighting Spirit Pavilion to search for skills.

However, those members of the family below the seventh level will lose this right, and after the coming-of-age ceremony, they will be distributed to various properties of the family.

Unless they perform outstandingly in the future or catch up with other outstanding clan members in cultivation speed, it will be difficult to become an inner family again.

And today is the day when the Xiao family holds the prediction.

Chapter 18 Xiao Zhan: Yan'er, you have suffered so much!

"Brother Xiao Yan, you won't forget that today is the day of prediction, right?"

At the foot of the Xiao family's back mountain, Xiao Xun'er had been waiting here early in the morning. Her beautiful eyes looked down the mountain path from time to time, with worry flashing in her eyes.

Just then, a figure appeared in his sight.

Xiao Yan was running down the mountain quickly, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of Xiao Xun'er.

"Xun'er, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Seeing Xun'er who had been waiting for a long time, Xiao Yan felt a little apologetic, but his eyes were fixed on her.

Xiao Xun'er was standing tall and graceful, her refreshing light green clothes perfectly setting off her slender body. Although her small chest was a little immature, it still proudly released the temptation of youth. A purple belt was casually tied around her slender waist, and the purple belt fluttered in the breeze...

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Xiao Yan was stunned for a long moment, and then slowly came back to his senses. He looked Xun'er up and down and couldn't help but praise: "Xun'er, it's only been half a month since we last met, and you have become even more beautiful."

Hearing Xiao Yan's undisguised praise and laughter, Xun'er blinked her big watery eyes, and just pursed her lips in a reserved smile. However, her willow eyebrows that were quietly curved into beautiful crescents expressed the joy in the girl's heart.

Qiu Shui's eyes were filled with joy, and Xun'er also raised her delicate chin and looked at him: "When did Brother Xiao Yan learn to be so talkative?"

Nearly a year of hard training made Xiao Yan lose some of his childishness, and his handsome face had a bit of inexplicable charm. The long-term physical training also made Xiao Yan's body strong and sturdy. Wearing a black shirt, he looked like a handsome young man.

Her pretty face blushed slightly, and Xun'er quickly looked away, pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's go, Brother Xiao Yan, today is the day of the prediction, are you ready?"

"There's nothing to prepare for. It's just a formality."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Xiao Yan shrugged and said indifferently.

Xun'er tilted her head and chuckled, "Just a formality? Not necessarily. Xiao Yan must be the protagonist today. He will be dazzling and brilliant!"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Xun'er who was smiling sweetly: "I think you have seen through my strength, right?"

Xiao Yan already knew from Han Li that this childhood sweetheart, with whom he grew up, had a very unusual background.

Xun'er smiled, nodded slightly, spread her hands cutely, and said with a smile: "It took less than a year to go from the third stage of Dou Qi to a seven-star Dou. Brother Xiao Yan's cultivation talent is beyond the reach of even Xun'er..."

"I can't hide it from you..."

Xiao Yan showed a bitter smile, then pulled Xiao Xun'er away.

……

In the huge bluestone training ground, more than a hundred boys and girls stood in it, and bursts of noise rose into the sky.

In the training ground, there stands a huge black stone tablet for testing. Only some powerful families are qualified to equip this kind of test tablet, and it is very valuable. Next to the black stone tablet, there stands a tester with an indifferent expression.

On the high platform on the left side of the training ground, some insiders of the family were sitting. In the center, there were the patriarch Xiao Zhan and three elders.

In the field, the boys and girls who were about to be judged were standing nervously. Some of those who usually performed well did not show much nervousness on their faces, while some of those with average or low talents had hesitant and uneasy expressions on their faces.

Xiao Zhan looked at the tribesmen who had different expressions on their faces. A complex expression flashed in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Clan leader, the time is almost up, why hasn't Xiao Yan arrived yet?" The second elder beside Xiao Zhan asked with a frown.

Xiao Zhan glanced at him and said calmly, "The time has not come yet, why are you in such a hurry? How come the Second Elder doesn't even have this much willpower?"

Choked by Xiao Zhan, the Second Elder's face looked a little ugly. He snorted sinisterly and said, "Clan leader, it is impossible for Xiao Yan to reach the seventh stage of Dou Qi within a year. Don't expect any miracle to happen."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan looked at the Second Elder with a hint of contempt and disgust in his eyes, but he did not refute anything, just smiled meaningfully.

Yan'er is right. It's so narrow-minded to haggle with these guys.

"What? Does the clan leader still have hope for that waste Xiao Yan?" Seeing Xiao Zhan's attitude, the second elder suddenly felt unhappy.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan frowned and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

My Yan'er is a waste? Then there are no geniuses in the world!

Xiao Zhan was just about to scold him.

At this moment, there was a slight commotion in the field.

Turning my eyes, I saw two shadows slowly approaching on the path at the end of the square in the distance.

Looking at Xiao Yan walking side by side with Xun'er, all the young men in the field showed some jealousy on their faces. In the Xiao family, the only person who could be so close to Xun'er was probably this famous loser...

At the edge of the square, Xiao Ning, who was surrounded by a large group of people of his age, stared at Xiao Yan with anger in his eyes.

"You little bastard, let's see if you still have the nerve to be with Xun'er after today." After cursing softly, Xiao Ning sneered with a gloating look.

Ignoring the glances filled with jealousy and anger, Xiao Yan led Xun'er directly to the back of the team, and then they talked and laughed in low voices to each other.

Seeing Xiao Yan's relaxed and comfortable appearance, the senior family members on the platform couldn't help but be a little surprised. Doesn't this guy know that today's test will change his future path?

"Hehe, I'm afraid you're planning to just throw the jar into the air." The second elder sneered and said sarcastically.

Originally, he thought that after saying this, Xiao Zhan beside him would be furious again, but the Second Elder waited for a long time and did not notice any movement. He could not help but look at Xiao Zhan beside him in surprise.

Xiao Zhan looked at the young man in the field with a complicated expression, and murmured in his heart: "Yan'er, you have suffered so much..."

He recalled in his mind half a month ago when Xiao Yan suddenly came to his room and revealed his strength and future plans.

Xiao Zhan was extremely surprised and shocked at Xiao Yan's change, but at the same time, he felt sorry for his son, as he was carrying too much.

"Yan'er, since you have made up your mind, then as your father, I will naturally support you."

Afterwards, Xiao Zhan retracted his gaze, slowly stood up, looked around the quiet training ground, and shouted in a concentrated voice: "You are all the fresh blood of the family, you should know how important today's test is to you. According to the test rules, those with the seventh stage of fighting spirit and above are qualified, otherwise, they are unqualified. However, according to the previous additional regulations, after the test is completed, those with fighting spirit below the seventh stage have the right to issue a challenge to a companion above the seventh stage. If the challenge is successful, they can also enter the qualified area!

"Now that everyone is clear, let the test begin!"

Chapter 19 Xiao Yan, fighting spirit stage three, failed!

As Xiao Zhan's deep drink fell, the boys and girls on the training ground suddenly became nervous.
