The Battle Through Heaven
Healing
In the dense forest where tall trees stood, there were sometimes points of light dripping through the gaps of the lush canopy of branches and leaves that protected the earth from the heat of the sun. The light shone to pieces on the ground, forming a completely natural image made of light spots, looking beautiful.
It was completely silent in the forest. Occasionally, there would be low roars emitted by unidentified Magical Beasts in the distance. It would pass through the barrier from the dense forest, and would echo nonstop throughout the forest.
"Suo."
The bushes in the silent forest suddenly moved. Immediately, a black figure darted. His feet gently pressed onto the branch of the tree that horizontally extended from his trunk. After which, he pushed his body from the branch and landed on another tree branch several meters above the ground. His sharp eagle-like eyes scanned everything below him in detail before he heaved a sigh of relief. He also hesitated slightly as he muttered softly, "The mountains behind Misty Cloud Mountain are connected directly to the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Logically speaking, right now I should have charged into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, right? But, why until now, have I not met the Magical Beast that tried to stop me? ‘
"That's because ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ is up your sleeve." An old laugh rang out in Xiao Yan's heart, "The ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ is an Ancient Unique Beast. Ordinary Magical Beasts would feel fear in their hearts when they smelled it. In addition, the current ‘Heaven’ Swallowing Beasts possess the strength of a Dou Wang class. Which ordinary Magical Beast dared to reveal itself in front of him? "
"So this is the child's blessing." Xiao Yan suddenly understood after hearing this. He gently patted her sleeve and laughed softly.
"But the group of Misty Cloud Sect that came to look for you was not so lucky. From what I know, they were attacked by at least three waves of Magical Beasts in just this short distance. Although they were not injured, their chasing speed had reduced by quite a lot. " Yao Lao smiled and said arrogantly.
Xiao Yan laughed coldly. His gaze once again swept around him, but he had yet to find the best hiding place. He immediately fused his brows and shook his head helplessly. As he pressed his feet gently onto the tree trunk, his body became like a huge bat that spread its wings as it passed through the dense forest, moving past the tree branches in its path. He continued forward and fled while looking for the best place to hide.
In a forest filled with huge trees and Magical Beasts, wanting to find a place to hide from danger that was also free from distractions was undoubtedly a bit difficult. However, Xiao Yan was considered quite lucky. As the sky gradually darkened, he finally found a good place.
Xiao Yan was passing through a large area of dense foliage when a dangerous abyss, which was about ten meters wide, appeared before him. He slowed down his speed and slowly walked towards the edge of the abyss. Subduing his head, he glanced at the seemingly bottomless dark abyss. He then raised his head and slowly turned his gaze to the steep mountain wall on the other side. A moment later, his gaze suddenly stopped in a dark mountain cave. This mountain cave was about ten meters more than the top of the mountain. It does not appear to have been created by humans. Instead, it seemed to be made by force by some kind of sharp-clawed Magical Beast.
"This place is great. Even covered in fog. Even if there were people flying over, they would have great difficulty distinguishing anything. " Xiao Yan's expression brought excitement as he studied the dark mountain cave's position. On that precipitous mountain wall, there were quite a number of mountain caves similar to this dark one. However, only this mountain cave had a very good position when compared to the others. Xiao Yan stood on the edge of the abyss and stared at the mountain cave. If one did not examine it closely, they would only see a faint mist emerge from within the abyss.
After examining it for a while, Xiao Yan's shoulders trembled slightly. A large pair of Purple Cloud Wings sprung up. He jumped forwards and jumped into the abyss; a wild wind blew past his ears. Xiao Yan flapped his wings and he quickly arrived in front of the mountain cave. He remained floating in the air in front of him instead of directly entering. The dangers of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were unrivalled, with dangers lurking everywhere. If one were not careful in facing them, they would not even know how they died.
Xiao Yan lifted his sleeve gently and ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ appeared. His finger pointed towards the mountain cave. The last one seems to understand. It hissed and turned into a seven-colored flash, which shot straight into the cave.
When he saw the flash of ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ into the cave, Xiao Yan hurriedly retreated a bit far away. After that, he waited quietly.
The wait lasted less than a minute when a shady wind came out of the cave. A large black figure quickly shot out. It was a flying Magical Beast with a ferocious appearance that was terrified as it flew from within. It immediately let out a terrifying scream and shot straight into the sky, finally disappearing on the horizon.
"Hu, good friend. It was actually a Winged Lion Beast. This was a rank three Magical Beast that could compete with a Da Dou Shi. " Xiao Yan was stunned as he watched the huge Magical Beast that had shot into the sky. He shook his head and laughed bitterly, "Luckily I got help from ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’. Otherwise, with my current condition, it looks like I will have to spend a lot of energy to get him out of the cave. "
Not long after the Winged Lion Beast escaped, ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ flew out from inside the cave. It remained suspended in front of Xiao Yan, hissing as it flicked the snake tongue in front of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan raised his hand and ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ returned to his sleeves. Only then did he flap his wings and fly into the cave while feeling confident. His feet landed on a hard mountain rock and waves of pale color surged onto his face. He let out some great coughs. After his cough, the Purple Cloud Wings on his back also automatically turned into tattoos and shrunk down to his back.
"I was seriously injured, ah. After only using the Purple Cloud Wings for a few minutes, the insides of my body had turned into this state. " Xiao Yan wiped the thread of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth as he spoke softly while smiling bitterly.
Xiao Yan slowly walked into the interior of the cavern which was quite spacious. Although the faint smell lingered causing Xiao Yan to faintly frown, the current him, who was faced with being surrounded from all directions, was, naturally not in the mood to bother about such trivial matters. He flicked his finger and several Moonlight Stones were fired from within the space ring. They landed steadily inside the crack in the mountain wall and their dim light immediately shone and permeated the entire cave.
Xiao Yan looked at the inside of the cave which was quite bright and then looked at the sky outside which had already become pitch-black. He thought calmly for a moment before coming to the entrance of the cave. He used all his strength to push a huge rock, which coincidentally blocked more than half of the entrance, which prevented the brightly lit cave from becoming too obvious in the darkness of the night.
"Now is not the time to rest." Just as Xiao Yan could no longer hold back and was about to lay his head on the ground and fall into a deep sleep, Yao Lao's soft cry suddenly sounded, giving Xiao Yan a start. His eyelids that would fold were immediately opened. With a bitter laugh, he quickly took two steps back and found a clean stone platform where he sat cross-legged.
As Xiao Yan sat down, the dark black ring gently shook. Yao Lao's illusory body slowly floated out.
"Teacher." Xiao Yan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly when he saw Yao Lao appear.
Yao Lao shook his head helplessly. He gestured with his hand and the storage ring on Xiao Yan's finger left the latter's hand. Finally, it was hung over Yao Lao's palm.
"First of all, you must recover from the chaos in your body. I'm going to refine some medicinal pills that can help speed up the recovery of your internal injuries. You should recover as soon as possible. If not, it would be too dangerous. " Yao Lao's Spiritual Strength swept across the inside of the storage ring as he ordered.
"Ah." Xiao Yan nodded. He stopped talking nonsense and his hands formed a training seal in front of him. He closed his eyes and his originally hurried breath slowly became calm and slow.
Yao Lao nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Xiao Yan had left his disturbing thoughts and entered his training state very quickly. He flicked his finger slightly and the medicinal herbs lit up and emerged from within the storage ring one after another after which floated around Yao Lao.
"This little boy actually stored quite a lot of medicinal ingredients. It really saved me from the trouble of finding a cure. " As Yao Lao studied the medicinal herbs hanging by his side, he nodded slightly before waving his hand. Immediately, a thick white flame soared high and burned. He waved his finger and the medicinal ingredients were regular but were quickly thrown into the flames one after another. Compared to the method Xiao Yan used to refine medicinal pills at the Great Meeting of Alchemists, yao Lao's refined refining method was like a floating cloud and flowing water which caused everyone to completely understand what an Alchemist Grandmaster was.
The dim light of the Moonlight Stones, the darkness that crept into the cave passed through the entrance. Only the rustling of medicinal ingredients within the flame could be heard within the quiet cave. The two people inside the cave divided their work clearly and were busy doing what they needed.
Silent training continued for nearly two to three hours. That was when Xiao Yan's eyelids, whose eyes were tightly closed, trembled slightly. He then slowly opened his eyes. After three hours of healing, his pale white face had some additional redness that represented vitality.
Xiao Yan exhaled a long breath of pent-up air that had long been in his chest. His expression became a little brighter. He raised his head and looked at Yao Lao, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, observing the movements outside after completing the purification some time ago. He smiled gently and said, "Although my injuries are quite serious, my irregular body condition can be suppressed. What the teacher said was true. The strength and blood in my body increased in an unstable manner. It was indeed the beginning of my increased strength. "
Yao Lao smiled and nodded. He turned his body and gently flicked his finger. The emerald-colored medicinal pill shot out towards Xiao Yan. The latter deftly grabbed it.
"Consumcilah. With this, the wounds inside your body should be able to heal completely. The medicinal effects of the Three Baris‘ Green Spirit ’Pil you consumed are very strong and you cannot absorb them all completely. Most of the drug's effects are stored in your body instead. It's not good if your body leaves it inside your body like that. I have mixed ‘Bone Chilling Flame’ inside this medicinal pill. You may feel a little pain after taking it. However, it is able to evaporate and release all the effects of the drug that have accumulated in your body. This time, you can use this opportunity to absorb it. It really depends on your luck, how much your power can be increased. " Yao Lao shook his head and said, "Quite a number of flaws have appeared on your body as long as I am not around. ‘Searing Poison’ it's also a vicious thing. After you recover from your injuries, I'll think of ways to help you resolve them. "
Xiao Yan's heart felt a sense of warmth as he heard the large number of words Yao Lao spoke. He nodded a little. He ended up being much more comfortable with his teacher beside him. The feeling was like a child finding reliable support, making him confident.
Xiao Yan stuffed the medicinal pill into his mouth and once again closed his eyes. His mind sank into his body and began this great advance!
Yao Lao smiled and nodded when he saw Xiao Yan close his eyes and once again begin his practice. He sat near the entrance of the cave and recklessly played and twisted the storage ring he took out of Xiao Yan's hand. A while later, his finger trembled slightly and a soft ‘ya’ voice came out of his mouth.
"Huh?"
Yao Lao flicked his finger and black-colored jade shards suddenly appeared in Yao Lao's hand. His palm gently rubbed this broken piece of jade and his gaze became somewhat transfixed.
This black-colored jade was surprisingly a cheap item that Xiao Yan had obtained back at the Alchemist Association while searching for treasures.
