The Battle Through Heaven
Soul cultivating Saliva
’’ Sky Demon Puppet? ’’
Xiao Yan's eyes hardened as he looked at the three blood-red big words. His heart immediately brought a hint of hesitation as he slowly unfolded the bamboo scroll. A few blood red words, which contained blood imprinted onto his eyes.
’’ Sky Demon Puppet. This skill was not a Qi Method nor was it an ordinary Dou Technique. Rather, it was a puppet skill that had been passed down from ancient times. One had to gather three items to refine the Sky Demon Puppet. Bodies, spirits, and Monster Cores. Corpses are tools, spirits are guides and Monster Cores are the heart. This, accompanied by many other materials would eventually form a Demon Puppet. The Demon Puppet was divided into three levels, Sky, Ground, and Man. The difference between them was determined by the materials and fire used during refinement. A Demon Puppet had boundless power, and had no emotions nor did it feel pain. It's basically a killing machine. ’
The shock on Xiao Yan's face became denser as his gaze slowly swept over the blood red words on the bamboo scroll. This Puppet Skill was something he had heard of before. However, it was unexpected that/it was actually this mysterious.
When Xiao Yan's gaze shifted away from the last blood red word, he also let out a long sigh. His heart was very interested in the so-called ‘Sky Demon Puppet.’ If he were to refine one, it was likely that/that he would have an additional bodyguard by his side who only obeyed his orders …
Xiao Yan sighed and shook his head. He handed the bamboo scroll to Su Qian and the others beside him. Their faces also revealed some shock after they received it and carefully read it.
” This kind of puppet skill is something I sometimes see in some ancient books. However, I have never found a purification method. It was unexpected that/that Old Ground Demon Ghost actually had such a collection. It is very likely that/it was the rank 7 malice fire Monster Core from before was something obtained by this old man to refine the ‘Sky Demon Puppet’. ” Su Qian clicked her tongue and sighed after she finished reading the scroll.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He stretched out his hand and took out the fiery red Monster Core. Xiao Yan stroked her with his hand. The smile that was on his face became wider as he felt the majestic energy contained within.
” However, this ‘Sky Demon Puppet’ purification method does show blood abominations. Taking out one's corpse and spirit, and then mixing it with Monster Core. Gathering all three items and coordinating them with their own unique refining methods. Perhaps the power of an enhanced thing would really be quite shocking. ” Su Qian shook his head and returned the bamboo scroll. He said, ’You should keep this stuff. It would not be good for such a thing to appear in the academy. Since you are going to explore the Central Plains, it is more suitable for you. ’
’’Thank you First Elder.’ ’
Xiao Yan smiled as he received the scroll. He did not take an action. ‘Sky Demon Puppet’ this really attracted him. Moreover, other than some special materials, he basically had all the basic parts written on it: corpses, spirits, and Monster Core. He might actually be able to perfect the so-called ‘Sky Demon Puppet’.
Xiao Yan stored the bamboo scroll and Flame Creation Skill into his Storage Ring. He looks around. The other Qi Methods and Dou Techniques around this place could no longer satisfy him. Only those rare medicinal ingredients that were perfectly preserved were useful to him. Therefore, when he took something, he also took some medicinal ingredients that might be useful to him in the future.
After grabbing all the things he needed, Xiao Yan finally stopped without feeling completely satisfied. Some of the items left inside the warehouse could meet his eyes. However, it was an enormous unexpected windfall for Xiao Gate. Xiao Gate had been established for a short time and had a weak foundation. It did not have many Qi Methods or Dou Techniques for its members to practice. Now that they had raided the shops of the Demon Flame Valley, they were finally able to resolve this matter.
Xiao Li also smiled when he saw Xiao Yan stop. He summoned several members of Xiao Gate and used some Storage Rings to move everything. After that, everyone saw the empty warehouse, laughed dryly with a dark face and left …
After storming the Demon Flame Valley, Xiao Yan left behind several members of Xiao Gate just in case before everyone flew towards the Inner Academy. At this moment, there were many things that Xiao Yan needed to do. Forget about fixing ‘Sky Demon Puppet.’ The most important thing was to refine a kind of medicinal pill that could nourish one's spirit within ten days. Otherwise, if Tian Huo zun-zhe's spirit was secretly scattered, the fierce spirit sealed within the ring would likely rush out again. Of course, compared to fighting against fierce spirits, the most serious thing was to lose the great help that Tian Huo zun-ze could provide in the future. Xiao Yan clearly knew what advantages he would enjoy once Tian Huo zun-zhe's strength recovered. At that time, it seemed like he would have confidence even when facing ‘Hall of Souls’ head-on. After all, according to what he knew, above the Protector was the Honorable Elder. This Honorable Elder was probably only slightly inferior to the mysterious Hall Chief. From this, one could say that/it even ‘Hall of Souls’ had experts in the Dou Zun class.
Moreover, he would be heading to the Central Plains soon. The experts there were very much like clouds. In addition, people who have the ability to participate in ‘Pill Gathering’ will likely not have a weak background or strength. If he didn't have some trump cards, it seemed like he would be eaten by someone else until his bones were gone. The weak are only meat to be eaten by the strong. It's a rule that won't change anywhere.
Therefore, Xiao Yan had to prepare all of his trump cards during the remaining time. He also needed to learn more about the Central Plains to prepare himself mentally.
Xiao Yan entered the place where the medicinal ingredients were stored after returning to the Inner Academy. He had to take every minute and second to refine a medicinal pill that gave one spirit.
Ten days is a little tight. It was basically an impossible task to complete for the past Xiao Yan. However, it was fortunate that/that Yao Lao had left a rich collection for Xiao Yan when he was captured. This collection was full of many medicinal formulas Yao Lao had learned during his lifetime. With this medicinal formula, Xiao Yan was able to find the right solution. There was no need for him to rush everywhere looking for a medicinal formula at the last minute.
’’ Soul Cultivate Saliva. ’’
This small level was not considered too high. It happened to be around a tier 5 pill and was not too difficult to refine. However, the only drawback is that/it required medicinal herbs are too unusual. It was fortunate that the current collection of Xiao Yan was extremely rich. Moreover, the Inner Academy had a shop that had been stocked for many years. Therefore, it did not cause Xiao Yan too much headache.
After gathering the many medicinal ingredients needed to refine ‘Soul cultivating Saliva,’ Xiao Yan sighed in relief. After which, he called out his medicinal cauldron. His fire slowly floated from his hand, and began to work hard to purify the pill during the Tian Huo zun-zhe spirit scattering countdown. Perhaps it was because he was pressed for time but Xiao Yan's heart became a little more anxious. Therefore, he failed in the first two attempts at refinement. However, fortunately Xiao Yan had understood the source of the problem after failing twice. He slowly calmed himself. The process of refinement gradually took the right path.
The refinement this time did not end even after continuing for three whole days. Although this ‘Soul cultivating Saliva’ might not seem difficult to refine, it took an incredible amount of time. After the previous lesson, Xiao Yan's heart did not form any anxiety. He continued to maintain a warm flame, slowly refining the cluster of emerald-like liquid within the medicinal cauldron.
With this calm demeanor, no other problems occurred during the refinement. When the repairs reached the fifth day, Xiao Yan, whose eyes were tightly shut, finally opened them. He beckoned with his hand and a cluster of liquid emitted an emerald-like gleam that shot out from the medicinal cauldron. After that, it remained hanging in front of him.
Xiao Yan sighed in relief when he saw this bunch of emerald liquid as life force seeped from it. He slowly raised his finger with a white-colored ring. The finger hinted and the liquid floated down. Finally, it fell on the ring and slowly seeped into it.
The white-colored ring, which had been silent for the past few days finally emitted a bright luster after ‘Soul cultivating Saliva’ entered it. Xiao Yan was able to feel the spirit, which had fallen asleep, slowly awakening.
When the last drop of ‘Soul cultivating Saliva’ actually entered the ring, the spirit within the ring exuded some life. An old voice filled with gratitude could be heard.
’Ke Ke, Xiao Yan, your kindness is too good to just thank you. This time, you can consider the old me because you have kindness. ’
Xiao Yan let out a long sigh as if he had released a heavy burden after hearing this familiar voice. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and smiled as he said, ‘’What Old Master Yao said. If you don't intervene and finish that fierce spirit, I won't be lucky. ’
” I finished that fierce spirit because I wanted to seize its Spiritual Strength. Therefore, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to say anything anymore. The old me was not someone who could not tell the difference between kindness and hatred. ” Laughter Tian Huo zun-zhe transmitted from the ring.
Xiao Yan could only widen his hand after hearing this. He would naturally not reject an elite Dou Zun who owed him anything.
Xiao Yan extended his hand and returned the medicinal cauldron to his Storage Ring. He tidied the place up a bit before walking out of the warehouse. He said as he walked, ” Old Man, Yao just woke up, you should rest first. There was no need to rush over the matter of that fierce spirit. ’
” Yes, with my current condition, it will be difficult to fix it. ’’Tian Huo zun-zhe agrees with him.
Xiao Yan smiled. He pushed open the door and slowly walked in the blinding sunlight. However, he had just come out when he saw Xiao Li pacing outside the warehouse. He was subconsciously surprised as he smiled and asked, ” Second brother, why are you here? ‘
Xiao Li hurriedly turned his body when he heard this voice. He involuntarily sighed in relief when he saw Xiao Yan come out. His expression became serious as he said, ’You're finally out. Hurry along! Quickly go and take a look at the Little Fairy Doctor. Something has happened to him! ‘’
The smile on Xiao Yan's face suddenly stiffened. Without waiting for Xiao Li to react, he turned into a blurry black figure that attacked in a lightning-like manner. Xiao Li smiled bitterly and sighed before immediately following the figure.
