The Battle Through Heaven
The progress of Zi Yan
The deadly poison hidden throughout the valley seemed to have received an order as it completely vanished after the Little Fairy Doctor left. This caused Xiao Yan, who wanted to do a retreat in it, to quietly complain of relief. She also knows that/that ex is currently not the kind girl from long ago. Moreover, his poison skill was unique and unpredictable. Although he still believed in his heart that/that he would not really kill him, it was a difficult matter if he made contact with this deadly poison. This point was something that Xiao Yan clearly saw when he helped Nalan Jie remove the poison in the latter's body back then.
Xiao Yan sent a courier bird to the capital after he settled down in the small valley. He briefly explained the position he was in so that Xiao Ding and the others could send someone to look for him if something happened in the future.
After taking everything into account, Xiao Yan searched for this small valley in detail. The size of the valley was not too big but the various rare medicinal ingredients growing within it caused even the current him to be slightly moved. Unexpectedly this small valley grew so many rare medicinal ingredients within it. If this news were to spread to the outside world, it might cause many alchemist eyes to turn red with envy. After all, the appeal of rare medicinal ingredients to an alchemist was not much weaker than medicinal formulas and medicinal cauldrons.
Xiao Yan had originally intended to chase after all the Magical Beasts within the valley. However, Zi Yan hurriedly stopped him. He knew that/that Xiao Yan was about to do a retreat. This Magical Beast might become his playmate during this period of time.
Xiao Yan naturally did not insist on having his way because Zi Yan liked them. Moreover, he thought that/that if the valley had these Magical Beasts, they could coincidentally achieve the effect of protecting it. Should one accidentally enter this valley, these Magical Beasts, which could be considered extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, would be enough to frighten them.
After he settled down in the valley, Xiao Yan opened a small-sized cave deep within. After which, he collected the medicinal ingredients for nearly three days before carrying the heavy storage ring and entering into the cave. Of course, this time, he did not take a retreat but was refining medicinal pills.
The amount of medicinal pills that were currently being purified was quite large. Not only did he promise to give the old Yin Gu and the other two three ‘Mighty Huang Pill’ as a gift but he also needed to help Xiao Li, Lin Yan, to help, and the others sifted through ‘Dou Spirit Pills’ All of these were unusual medicinal pills. Fixing them was not only troublesome but also time consuming. However, this was definitely not a reason that would be able to stop Xiao Yan from refining pills.
Xiao Yan had also instructed Zi Yan and Medusa to avoid leaving the valley as much as possible before he entered the cave. The energy within the valley was much denser than the outside world and one would be able to achieve a double effect with half an effort by practicing here. Moreover, there were many spiritual medicines in this place. If Zi Yan suddenly started advancing her rank, this place would be able to provide the greatest amount of assured energy for her.
The large and small woman might have approved Xiao Yan's instructions with their mouths, but Xiao Yan did not know what they were thinking in their hearts. No matter what it was, however, Xiao Yan felt at ease with Medusa's protection. After all, a Dou Zong class expert was enough to roam the Jia Ma Empire without a fight. Although these Magical Beast Mountains possessed many powerful Magical Beasts, they did not threaten Medusa too much.
Therefore, despite knowing that/it was not the two of them who would remain at peace, Xiao Yan still entered the mountain cave with peace of mind. After that, he began the task of refining pills that were so burdened that his/her ordinary alchemist expression would pale after seeing them.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on a rock inside a rather dark and cool cave. There was a smooth, mirror-like stone platform beside him. At this moment, many medicinal ingredients were neatly arranged on the stone stage. These medicinal ingredients were all stored in jade boxes. A rich medicinal aroma seeped out from them. Finally, they gathered together and an unusual medicinal scent immediately spread throughout the cave.
Xiao Yan gestured with his hand and a crimson medicinal cauldron suddenly appeared in front of him. After that, it landed heavily on the ground. Its heavy weight caused the cave to tremble slightly.
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment after calling the medicinal cauldron. Between the two medicinal pills, refining the ‘Dou Spirit Pill’ was a little easier for him and he had a higher chance of success. ‘Mighty Huang Pill’, on the other hand, is an original six-level medicinal pill. Even with Xiao Yan's current strength, he did not have more than fifty percent confidence to successfully refine it. But he was ready this time. Not only had he managed to plunder a large amount of medicinal herbs from the Primer clan, but he had also found quite a number of them in this mountain valley. With this amount of medicinal ingredients, if he were to use it viciously, trying to destroy three Mighty Mighty‘ ’Pils should not be too difficult even with a low success rate.
Xiao Yan chose to first refine the ‘Dou Spirit Pills’ after some thought in his heart. It is better to choose one that is easier to repair when he is warming up. Although he was currently very prepared, this medicinal ingredient was also extremely valuable. Even Xiao Yan would also feel sad if he wasted them for no reason.
After making a thought in his heart, Xiao Yan slowly took a deep breath and threw out the disturbance in his mind. He flicked his finger and wisps of jade-green flames rushed out. Finally it entered the medicinal cauldron before turning into a ferocious fire that rose within it.
As the flames within the medicinal cauldron grew increasingly stronger, the temperature within the mountain cave immediately became even hotter. However, this naturally did not have the slightest impact on Xiao Yan. His eyes stared intently into the medicinal cauldron. A moment later, his expression suddenly became serious. Both of his fingers moved and medicinal ingredients were struck between them. He gently threw it into the medicinal cauldron.
Zi Yan and Medusa within the valley rarely entered to disturb Xiao Yan after he entered the cave. At first, the two people were still fine. However, as the time that Xiao Yan used to refine the pill increased, Zi Yan, who had an active character, could not sit still. This was especially after he trained the Magical Beasts in the valley until they were like pets which caused him to become extremely bored. On a certain day, he managed to instigate Medusa. After which, the two of them quietly slipped out of the valley. Hence, this Magical Beast Mountain Range immediately became extremely chaotic.
With the help of his innate special ability to sense natural treasures with dense energy, Zi Yan's gaze each time was thrown towards that treasure, which had the protection of many powerful Magic Beasts. However, most of these treasures were successfully obtained with the help of the power of Medusa. Nevertheless, every time the treasure fell into their hands, it would awaken many red-eyed Magical Beasts to ruthlessly chase after the two of them. Fanning by one large female demon and one small demon caused the mountain range, which was always calm, to be repeatedly filled with roars every day, filling it with life.
An increase in the number of natural treasures landed in Zi Yan's hands with the flow of time. All the things he got were treated as candy that he swallowed into his stomach without exception. After this kind of looting action continued for nearly half a month, most of the powerful Magic Beasts in this Magical Beast Mountain Range had been visited by Zi Yan and Medusa.
This powerful plunder naturally resulted in stirring everyone's anger. This Giant Magical Beast Mountain Range did not lack some powerful Magical Beasts. Their intelligence is not inferior to that of humans. Hence, many powerful Magical Beasts began to gather together after suffering losses several times. So an unusually large array was secretly formed within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
This formation with many Magical Beasts was filled by Zi Yan and Medusa on the second day when they acted once again. A surging anger suddenly erupted!
When Zi Yan and Medusa saw countless Magical Beasts crowding above like floods while carrying roars that shook the sky, even Medusa could not help but feel numbness in her scalp despite her strength. He immediately grabbed Zi Yan and quickly fled.
This pursuit and escape almost involved the entire passage of this Magical Beast Mountain Range. It was still slightly better for Zi Yan and Medusa. The mercenaries who were hunting Magical Beasts within the mountains suffered a huge mistake fate. Everyone's bodies turned ice-cold as they looked at the tide of ferocious beasts that had come crowding like a flood …
The wild retaliation from the beast tide caused this Magical Beast Mountain Range to boil tremendously. However, it was fortunate that Medusa was careful not to fly back into the valley. Instead, he brought Zi Yan along and took a huge detour around the mountain range. Only after he was sure that/that he had gotten rid of all the Magical Beasts on his tail did the two of them rush back to the valley.
The two of them did not dare to leave the valley carelessly for a few days after the event was over. Although the two of them were not afraid, it seemed that Xiao Yan, who was tidying up the pills, would be disturbed if those crazy Magical Beasts found this place. If the accident occurred at that time …
Even Zi Yan could only lengthen her tongue when she thought of this. He quietly stayed in the valley and played with the Magic Monsters within the valley that had been tamed by him. Medusa also sighed in relief when she saw Zi Yan calm down. If there was an accident that occurred, it was likely that the person would go crazy.
The usually lively Zi Yan began to show signs something was wrong after the two of them stayed in the valley for five to six days. At first, only his words were reduced. Gradually, his face turned extremely red and his body became hot like an oven.
Zi Yan's change naturally caused Medusa to turn pale from shock. However, he did not understand all of these things, and was thus unable to give even a little help to Zi Yan. However, just when he was hesitant about whether he should call Xiao Yan, Zi Yan suddenly descended into sleep. A purple-rich light surged out from his body as he slept. Finally, it turned into a ten-foot-tall purple cocoon that wrapped around his body.
Medusa was startled after seeing this but finally heaved a sigh of relief. Nothing seems wrong. Instead, this little girl had consumed too many natural treasures during this period of time. The energy accumulated within his body was enough for him to rise in rank!
A calm fragrance was hidden within the lush green mountain valley. Occasionally, there would be large Magical Beasts passing through this place. A low roar suddenly appeared, causing the valley to be filled with life.
There was a purple-rich light hidden deep within a point within the valley. There was a huge bright cocoon that was over ten feet wide in purple light. Although one cannot clearly see the existence inside the cocoon, the majestic energy contained within it indicates that/it is unusual.
