BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
FILTER PILLS!! EVOLUTION OF QI METHOD!!

Sitting by crossing his legs inside the cave, Xiao Yan took out the Medicine Cauldron from within the storage ring and placed it gently in front of him. He then placed all the necessary medicinal ingredients to fix the ‘Pil Protective Road’ and ‘Cold’ Heart Pill beside him. After he carefully examined everything again, he finally sighed casually.

Seeing Xiao Yan about to light a fire to purify the medicinal pill, Yao Lao slowly and unsteadily floated out of the ring. He landed on a boulder, folded his arms and watched Xiao Yan work with a smile.

Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Lao once before slowly closing his eyes. Once again, his mind gave rise to the two medicinal formulas Yao Lao gave him and re-examined the quantity of each ingredient needed and the overall temperature of the flame. After revising it once, he began to open his eyes slowly as he gently rubbed his hands together. He then placed his palm on the fire outlet and his mind began to slowly sink into his body, carefully picking up the purple-colored flame from within the center of the vortex.

The purple-colored flame was surrounded by Dou Qi as it quickly passed through its Qi Path and palm before entering the medicinal cauldron.

When Purple Flame rushed to the medicinal cauldron, ‘explosion’ softly sounded. A purple-colored flame rose within the medicinal cauldron and began to burn.

Through the glass on the surface of the medicinal cauldron, Xiao Yan's eyes could see a purple-colored flame that jumped randomly. As the temperature of the ice cold medicinal cauldron slowly rose, Xiao Yan tilted his head and smiled at Yao Lao. His expression once again became solemn as his Spiritual Perception shot out from his body, entering the medicinal cauldron through his hands and successfully controlling the wild Purple Flame.

"You can start."

Seeing the Purple Flame growing calmer in the medicinal cauldron, Yao Lao nodded his head with a smile on his face as he calmly commented in his heart, "This brat became familiar with the use of Spiritual Perception. He was actually able to suppress the temperature of the flames so quickly. "

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan's hand used to grab the dark green plant from beside him. This plant is called the Evergreen Flower. The warm energy contained within the leaves would make it very suitable to protect his Qi Path.

Xiao Yan's eyes stared at the Evergreen Flower in his hand. His hand paused for a moment before throwing him into the medicinal cauldron.

Just as the Evergreen Flower entered the medicinal cauldron, soaring Purple Flame pounced on it. In an instant, its dark green-colored leaves quickly turned brown. At this stage, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception was slowly suppressing the temperature of Purple Flame with little effort. The faint seed of fire carried a temperature that was neither cold nor hot as it gradually roasted the Evergreen Flower floating within it.

As this method of roasting continued, droplets of green colored liquid began to form on the surface of the Evergreen Flower leaves. Following the increase in the amount of fluid that forms, the leaves quickly shrink. When the last droplets of green-colored liquid from the Evergreen Flower were forced out, the Evergreen Flower's body turned into black soot and sank to the bottom of the medicinal cauldron.

"Ah good. With your Great Spiritual Perception, even some tier two alchemists cannot compare to you. " Looking at Xiao Yan succeeding at his first step, Yao Lao was unwilling to praise with a smile.

Smiling, Xiao Yan gestured with his hand, sucking out a green-colored liquid from within the medicinal cauldron. Finally, he carefully poured it into the jade bottle, storing it away while waiting to be combined with the other materials.

After obtaining the energy liquid from the Evergreen Flower, Xiao Yan purified the three different colored liquids and the pale green powder obtained from roasting the Black Cloud Spirit Fruit.

While refining some type of this medicinal powder, Xiao Yan destroyed twelve rare herbs even though his Spiritual Perception was incredible. This was because this was the first time he had made this kind of medicinal pill and tried to understand the flame control and the required amount of ingredients. If the valley did not have a large stockpile of medicinal ingredients, he would probably face an embarrassing situation from exhausting his medicinal ingredients.

Sitting on a rock, Yao Lao quietly watched Xiao Yan purify the medicine. When the latter managed to refine all the necessary medicinal ingredients, he nodded his head. Xiao Yan might have damaged quite a number of medicinal ingredients during this period but this amount of failure was quite good considering he had only first refined these medicines.

After purifying all the ingredients, Xiao Yan let out a long sigh. He retrieved ‘Energy Recovery Pill’ from the storage ring, threw it into his mouth and crossed his legs as he recovered the Dou Qi in his body.

Observing Xiao Yan's attitude, Yao Lao could only shake his head helplessly. No wonder Xiao Yan went crazy with his desire to develop his Qi Method. After only purifying for a short while, the Dou Qi in his body was already extremely exhausted. The current medicinal pill that he refined was only tier two. If he were to refine a tier three or even tier four medicine, Xiao Yan would probably have to put a handful of ‘Energy Recovery Pill in his mouth to avoid failure as his Dou Qi was depleted. After crossing his legs and recuperating for quite a while, Xiao Yao finally opened his eyes. He looked at Yao Lao's helpless expression and could only smile bitterly. He then placed all the different processed ingredients beside him and flicked his palm. A snow-white Core monster that emitted a cold air appeared in his hand.

Watching the rank two Ice-type Monster Core, Xiao Yan slowly sighed. He flicked his finger and accurately shot the Monster Core into the medicinal cauldron. At the same time, Xiao Yan's palm quickly touched the fire pit of the medicinal cauldron. He used his Spiritual Perception to suddenly release the suppressed temperature of Purple Flame. Immediately, Purple Flame began to rise with the sound of crying and spread throughout the inside of the cauldron.

In the soaring Purple Flame, the rank two Ice-type Monster Core began to release an ice-cold flow as it did its best to fight the heat again, hoping to avoid destruction.

Purple flames and ice fog started to lock on the dead end within the medicinal cauldron. The white-colored fog sheet started seeping through the medicinal cauldron cover and continued to spread throughout the surrounding area.

Lifting his eyes to look at the increasingly viscous white gas, Yao Lao lightly waved his sleeve. A ferocious power swept out that white gas. The cave immediately returned to its original state. However, the current Xiao Yan did not have the luxury to notice all of this; all of his attention was placed on the dead end between the Purple Flame and the ice-type Monster Core.

The Purple Flame within him continued to be poured into the medicinal cauldron while the Ice-type Monster Core did not want to lose. It continued to release cold air, struggling to avoid its fate of destruction.

The stalemate continued until Xiao Yan swallowed another ‘Energy’ Recovery Pill. Although the Ice-type Monster Core contained a large amount of Ice energy, there was no reinforcement for such energy. Hence, under the relentless roasting of the Purple Flame, the ice-type Monster Core's cold air barrier was finally broken.

After the rupture of the ice air barrier, Purple Flame let out an excited writhing sound. It pounced from all directions and surrounded the Ice-type Monster Core before it started calcining it.

As the flames hardened for a long time, many lines of cracks gradually appeared on the hard surface of the Ice-type Monster Core. After a while, a clear crack sound rang out and the surface of the Monster Core turned to ashes and sank. As the ashes settled at the bottom of the cauldron, a small ball of snow-white paste like energy appeared and floated within the medicinal cauldron.

Upon seeing this white-colored energy paste ball appear, excitement finally appeared on Xiao Yan's tense face. After using the Purple Flame to bake for a little longer, he finally sucked it up and stored it properly inside the jade bottle.

After purifying the energy from within the Monster Core, Xiao Yan quickly took out some processed ingredients in front of him and poured them all into the medicinal cauldron.

Purple Flame surrounded some of the ingredients inside the cauldron and began to calcinate them in a very intense manner.

As the flame continued to burn, different-colored medicinal ingredients began to slowly fuse together. The liquid and powder began to fuse together and slowly rolled around inside the flame. As time went by, the initial medicinal pill form began to slowly and faintly appear within the medicinal cauldron.

The surface of the medicinal pill was currently extremely uneven, on its surface, the luster was composed of green and purple patches. When one looked at it, it looked like a strange object covered with edges, completely unlike the roundness and luster of a fully formed medicinal pill.

Looking at this initial medicinal pill, the heavy burden in Xiao Yan's heart finally lifted. At this stage, he had completed ninety percent of the refining process. The next step was to refine the pill.

Carrying the refined Monster Core energy in his hand, Xiao Yan tilted his head and looked at Yao Lao. Seeing that he nodded his head with a smile, Xiao Yan took a gentle breath and poured Monster Core energy into the medicinal cauldron without hesitation.

Just as the white-colored paste like energy entered the medicinal cauldron, it was controlled by Xiao Yan to cover the initial medicinal pill. After which, the mixture of pills and energy began to slowly spin. At the same time, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception hurriedly suppressed the temperature of Purple Flame, holding it to the point where it was neither too light nor too hot as it gradually roasted the medicinal pill that was covered by the energy from the Monster Core.

The final step to condensing the pill took nearly half an hour. The energy from the Monster Core was roasted into the medicinal pill slowly by the flame. At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly recalled the Spiritual Perception he used to suppress Purple Flame. Immediately, Purple Flame turbulently flowed out and carried a wild temperature as it surrounded the medicinal pill in an instant.

The Purple Flame was suppressed again as soon as it was given full freedom and quickly brought back to its lowest temperature. As Purple Flame slowly retreated, a jade-white round pill appeared in an eye-catching manner within the medicinal cauldron.

Looking at this white jade medicinal pill. Xiao Yan involuntarily opened his mouth and smirked. He beckoned with his hand and sucked it from the medicinal cauldron. After which, he quickly took out the jade bottle by his side and stored the pills inside.

Xiao Yan's hand withdrew from the medicinal cauldron and the Purple Flame within it quickly disappeared. A moment later, the hot medicinal cauldron subsided.

Shaking the medicinal pill inside the bottle, Xiao Yan gently inhaled the scent released from the mouth of the bottle. His face could not contain his excitement. A while later, he finally laughed at Yao Lao by his side, "The Road Protection Pill is a success!"

"Yes, pretty. Although there were some minor mistakes during the process, your appearance was quite good "Yao Lao praised Xiao Yan with a nod. He caught a glimpse of the medicinal ingredients meant for ‘Es’ Heart Pill on the floor and smiled, "Rest for a bit. Next, you need to perfect ‘Pil Heart Es’. With that success, I'm sure you should be able to damage fewer medicinal ingredients this time around. "

Nodding, Xiao Yan carefully put away the Path Protecting Pill ‘. Once again, he took out ‘Energy Recovery Pill’ and swallowed it. After which, he closed his eyes and waited for the Dou Qi in his body to recover.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. He finally recovered to his peak condition. Looking at the medicinal cauldron in front of him, he took a deep breath and extended his hand; once again he started refining pills.

Things went according to what Yao Lao said, with the previous success of refining the Road Protective Pill ‘, the refining process for’ Cold Heart Pill ‘ has become much smoother. In addition to the pieces coming from different fire intensities for different medicinal ingredients, the remaining steps were very natural and not forced. The refining process satisfied even the extremely picky Yao Lao. From this, it could be seen how incredible Xiao Yan's appearance was.

Two hours after the start of the purification process.

At that moment, Xiao Yan's face looked slightly exhausted. However, there was a greater feeling of pleasure and joy. This was because of the two jade bottles he held tightly in his hand; contained within this transparent jade bottle was a round white and green slender pill that rolled around mischievously.

Seeing Xiao Yan's tired expression, Yao Lao looked at the already dark sky outside and smiled, "The time it takes to refine the pill is roughly as I anticipated. Due to the scorching sun during the day, the Purple Flame would increase its strength. If you swallow Purple Flame during that time, it will increase the difficulty of doing so. Hence, now was the most appropriate time to swallow the Purple Flame. Didn't he? Can you keep holding on? "

Xiao Yan rubbed his temples and smiled. "of course. I'm just a little tired, staying up all night shouldn't be a problem. "

"Eighteen." Xiao Yan's finger examined the ring before replying.

"That's enough. Once the swallowing process begins later, you should immediately consume it whenever you feel your Dou Qi is insufficient. It is not pleasant if you suddenly find your Dou Qi exhausted at any moment. " Yao Lao said seriously.

"Yes." Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded heavily. Of course, he did not dare to mess with his life.

"Okay, now we see the results. To be honest, I am also interested to see how much ‘Flame Mantra’ can develop with this Purple Flame. " Yao Lao exhaled as he said with an attitude that showed he was looking forward to the result.

"After all, it couldn't directly jump into the Xuan Class." Regarding this, Xiao Yan still understood his limits. Although the power of Purple Flame is good, there is still a big gap between it and ‘Heavenly Fire’.

"Naturally, I know that it is impossible to reach the Xuan Class. The leap between each class for the Qi Method was like the distance between the earth and the sky. Purple Flame might be able to develop Spells to different levels within the same class but if it wanted to expand them to different classes! " Yao Lao rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile.

Xiao Yan laughed bitterly but did not continue speaking. He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. After he deepened his spirit and calmly sat down for a moment, his eyes suddenly opened. Inside his black eyes, a brilliant light flashed. As the brilliant light in his eyes diminished, Xiao Yan tilted his head and faced Yao Lao.

"Yes, start. It's time. " Looking at Xiao Yan looking up, Yao Lao smiled and nodded gently.

Nodding with great force, Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the two jade bottles in front of him. After which, he closed his eyes and his mind sank into his body.

Under the control of his mind, the vortex in his lower abdomen suddenly began to spin at high speed. Following his increased rotation speed, the group of Purple Flames in the vortex were thrown out.

The flaming Purple Flame seemed to be confused. Why would a partner who worked with him days before suddenly chase after him? The Purple Flame that was thrown out slowly gathered all the Purple Flame that had been thrown out of the vortex, finally forming an intense Purple Flame ball.

Just as the Purple Flame was trying to charge into the vortex without thinking, the pale yellow Dou Qi that surged within the vortex came out from the vortex and encompassed the Purple Flame within it. Under the control of Xiao Yan's mind, the pale yellow Dou Qi in the surroundings drew out the Purple Flame and began to move along the fixed Qi Path determined by the ‘Flame Mantra’.

When the Dou Qi surrounded the Purple Flame, the latter sensed danger. Instantly, it began to furiously try to shoot from the surrounding Dou Qi energy. Every time they attacked, they would burn a huge amount of Dou Qi energy into nothing. However, an unceasing supply of Dou Qi from the vortex continued to be emitted. Regardless of how Purple Flame burned, it could not escape being trapped by Dou Qi.

When Dou Qi Xiao Yan surrounded Purple Flame, he completely lost control over it. However, it did not bother him. He focused all his attention on controlling Dou Qi, pulling the Purple Flame into a long and thin flame before quickly moving it into the Qi path to train ‘Flame Mantra’.

Just as the Purple Flame encircled by Dou Qi entered the predetermined Qi Path, Xiao Yan's body trembled violently. Many small droplets of cold sweat continued to appear on his forehead. Like dripping water, it flowed along Xiao Yan's face and smashed into the mountain rock with a knocking sound.

Xiao Yan clenched his teeth. The Qi Paths in his body emitted twitches like a terrible pain that almost caused his face to grimace. He did not expect that even with Dou Qi as the initial protection, the pain caused by Purple Flame would be this strong.

"Road Protection Pills Consumption!"

As Xiao Yan clenched his teeth and held on, Yao Lao's gentle command suddenly sounded in his ears.

Hearing the command, Xiao Yan's hand did not hesitate as he took the small jade bottle in front of him, poured out the jade-white pill and threw it into his mouth.

After ‘Pil Jalan’ Protector went into his mouth, it started to turn into a warm and smooth current. It swiftly slid down his throat and entered his body. Finally, under the control of Xiao Yan's mind, it quickly covered all the blood vessels that the flames had to pass through while using ‘Flame Mantra’ with a layer of faint white-colored energy membrane.

Although this layer of white-colored energy membrane was extremely thin, the effect it caused was very prominent. Not long after he swallowed the Road Protective Pill, Xiao Yan's tensed muscles began to gradually relax. His distorted face also slowly became normal. There was still some occasional searing pain emitted from his Qi Path, but this was entirely within the parameters he could endure.

The gradual relief from the intense pain caused Xiao Yan to sigh in his heart. He could not imagine if the Qi Paths in his body could continue to absorb and contain Dou Qi if he did not get help from the Path Protecting Pill ‘. Perhaps after the Purple Flame had completely passed through his Qi Path, he would become a real handicap.

"It is true to have an elder in the house is like having a treasure." Xiao Yan happily muttered in his heart. The position Yao Lao held in Xiao Yan's heart instantly shot higher.

With the help of the Path Protecting Pill ‘, Xiao Yan was much more relaxed. Although his Dou Qi was consumed at an incredible rate under the burning of Purple Flame, the help provided from swallowing the ‘Pil Recovery Energy’ allowed him to barely maintain balance.

Everything in his body was proceeding in an orderly manner under the tense atmosphere. Until now, Xiao Yan had not found anything wrong but he remained vigilant. As Yao Lao had said before, other than the danger of one's Qi Path burning during the swallowing process, one's mind would also be slowly damaged by the wild instincts of Purple Flame, causing one to lose control.

Recalling Yao Lao's words in his heart, Xiao Yan earnestly kept his mind, not daring to allow the slightest mistake.

After Xiao Yan slowly moved the Purple Flame encompassed by Dou Qi to half the route of the Qi Path from ‘Flame Mantra’, Xiao Yan's expression gradually became serious. He began to feel vaguely that the process of swallowing became more intense while a restless thread slowly entered his mind.

Feeling his thoughts change, Xiao Yan's heart immediately became frightened. He did not need Yao Lao's reminder as he took the ‘Icy Heart Pill’ from before him and threw it into his mouth.

As soon as ‘Icy Heart Pill’ entered his body, an ice-cold bone-cutting sense slowly penetrated from the area of his throat. His mind felt this ice-cold feeling and slightly shivered. The gradually increasing agitation in his heart was like the remnants of snow that met with flames, rapidly melting and disappearing.

With the ‘Icy Heart Pill’ to protect his mind, Xiao Yan was finally no longer afraid of losing his vigilance. Immediately, he used all of his strength to madly circulate the Purple Flame covered Dou Qi through his Qi Path.

Following the Purple Flame circulating through the designated Qi Line for ‘Flame Mantra’, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that the Dou Qi and Purple Flame threads were starting to strangely merge.

No, rather than saying that they joined forces, it was more appropriate to say that Purple Flame was gradually consumed by the ‘Flame Mantra’ Dou Qi.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan's heart felt shocked as well as happy. From this situation, he could confirm one thing. This Qi ‘Flame Mantra’ method does have a magical ability to develop.

As the pale yellow Dou Qi and Purple Flame were about to pass through the last Qi Line to ‘Flame Mantra’, the two were almost entirely one. The Dou Qi which was originally pale yellow in color at that moment, had completely turned into a pale purple color. Moreover, on the surface of this pale purple Dou Qi, there was a faint Purple flame rising. However, this Purple Flame did not cause any damage to the Qi Path.

Seeing that the Dou Qi had changed color entirely, Xiao Yan's heart was filled with uncontrollable happiness. He tried harder to direct the Dou Qi to complete the final part of the circulation.

The Dou Qi circulation grew increasingly faster and finally, the Dou Qi with its color had already changed, finally rushing out of the last Qi Path. Completing one perfect and complete cycle, a new stream of Dou Qi returned to the lower abdomen.

After rushing out of the Qi Path, the purple-colored Dou Qi directly and endlessly charged into the pale yellow vortex that continued to spin.

As more and more Dou Qi which had consumed the Purple Flame rushed out from the Qi Path, the color of the vortex also slowly began to change from a pale yellow to a pale purple color.

When the last thread of purple-colored Dou Qi came out from the veins, the vortex almost completely turned into a pale purple color.

In Xiao Yan's lower abdomen, the swirling vortex suddenly stopped and stood quietly.

At the same time, inside the cave, the closed-eyed Xiao Yan suddenly opened it. A dazzling purple light shot out from his eyes by about half an inch, like a real substance. A moment later, Xiao Yan slowly tilted his head and looked at Yao Lao. Stupidly, he opened his mouth and grinned. Did I succeed?

You succeeded!

Yao Lao sighed heavily as he smiled and nodded. He could already sense that Xiao yan contained a Dou Qi that was much stronger than before.

Seeing Yao Lao nod his head in confirmation, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth opened, releasing a wild laugh that announced his unrestrained happiness in his heart. However, his face suddenly changed as he suddenly felt the energy from his surroundings suddenly flowing uncontrollably into him.

"Teacher? What's going on?" Tilting his head, Xiao Yan asked in a frightened voice.

The unexpected change also made Yao Lao slightly surprised. He frowned, then moved in front of Xiao Yan and touched Xiao Yan's body with his palm. A moment later, a smile appeared on the old face.

"Good things don't come by themselves. When one comes, the second and third follow. Congratulations, the time for you to break through the Dou Zhe and become a Dou Shi has arrived! "
