Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

7: Chapter 7 Herb Gathering[Q&A session ended. Next Q&A in three days.]

[Cao Ying: (Image), (Image)]

[Cao Ying: Thanks for the answer, little brother. If you have any requests, just ask; big sister will satisfy you.]

”Damn, she really is a vixen.”

Looking at the images Cao Ying sent over, Chen Yang felt his blood surging and his emotions stirred.

Startled, Chen Yang quickly took a sip of water to calm himself down.

[Chen Yang: I’m going to cultivate. I’ll find you if I need anything.]

Sending a rather ordinary message to calm the fire in his heart, Chen Yang then brought over a huge wooden tub, filled it with spring water, and took a tiny bit from a wisp of the supreme liquid to dilute it in the tub.

Given his current strength, he dared not consume the entire supreme liquid at once; it would kill him.

Moreover, he had to stop after increasing his strength by at most two or three stars.

Otherwise, his Dou Qi would become unstable, and his combat power would drop.

Looking at the diluted supreme liquid, Chen Yang stripped off his clothes, sat cross-legged in the wooden tub, and began to cultivate. As he operated the Undying Heavenly Art, he began to greedily absorb the spiritual energy in the tub.

Chen Yang’s strength was also rapidly increasing.

6-star Dou Practitioner.

7-star Dou Practitioner.

Bang.

With an explosive sound, Chen Yang jumped out of the wooden tub. Frowning, he felt the full yet unstable Dou Qi within his body and shook his head; this wouldn’t do.

He could have consumed the remaining diluted supreme liquid all at once, but he did not do so. Instead, he chose to temper his Dou Qi first and absorb the remaining supreme liquid next time.

The supreme liquid was incredibly powerful. Although it was only a wisp, relying on it to break through to Dou Zun probably wouldn’t be a problem. However, if he only had Dou Qi without the corresponding strength, it would be very difficult to defeat others at the same level.

He still needed to temper himself to improve the quality of his Dou Qi and his practical combat ability.

Chen Yang did what he said he would do. He put on his clothes, stored the wooden tub in his storage ring, opened the door, and left.

”...”

Magical Beast Forest.

Chen Yang ran rapidly along the ground. Behind him was a crazed Tier 1 Magical Beast, the Explosive Flame Pig.

While running, Chen Yang practiced the Earth-tier Low-grade movement technique that Cao Ying had sent him: the Wandering Dragon Drifting Wind Steps!

This movement Dou Technique was exquisite and possessed a unique charm. Although its name was ”Wandering Dragon,” it also contained the agility of a drifting wind. Those who mastered it could display extraordinary posture and speed in both combat and travel.

At the Great Completion stage, one could even unleash ”Drifting Wind Returning Shadows.” Once unleashed, it would release a large number of Dou Qi phantoms. These phantoms would scatter in all directions, like a drifting wind sweeping through fallen leaves, creating a chaotic scene.

The practitioner’s true body would then hide among these phantoms, using their cover to quickly attack the enemy’s vitals and thus achieve victory!

”Bang!”

A huge tree was knocked over to the ground by the Explosive Flame Pig, and Chen Yang could only quickly leap onto another large tree.

”Secret of All, Secret of All...”

Chen Yang frantically operated the Secret of All. As long as he triggered 10 times the combat power, it would be time for him to counterattack.

Suddenly!

The aura on Chen Yang’s body surged directly. Chen Yang’s face lit up with joy; he knew the time for a counterattack had come. He turned his head to look at the crazed Explosive Flame Pig, immediately jumped up, and released the technique given by Cao Ying.

”Mysterious-tier High-grade Dou Technique, Blazing Sun Wind-Breaking Fist!”

The Blazing Sun Wind-Breaking Fist was a Mysterious-tier High-grade Dou Technique. This punch was fierce and sharp, resembling a scorching sun in the sky, possessing the momentum to burn through all obstacles, while also containing the sharpness of a breaking wind, capable of tearing through an opponent’s defense at an extremely fast speed.

As the Dou Qi within his body was injected, Chen Yang’s right fist ignited with red flames, descending from the sky and striking directly at the top of the Explosive Flame Pig’s head.

”Boom!”

A huge sound rang out, and the surrounding bushes all exploded, revealing a clearing.

One punch, just one punch!

With the 10 times combat power boost, Chen Yang killed the Tier 1 Magical Beast, the Explosive Flame Pig, with a single punch.

”Whew, it’s finally dead.”

Chen Yang shook his numb, aching right hand, looking at the dead Explosive Flame Pig at his feet, and exclaimed excitedly.

For the past day, he had been chased around by this stupid pig. Now that he had finally killed it, the Dou Qi in his body was gradually solidifying. With the boost from the Secret of All, even a Dou Master expert could potentially be killed instantly if they were careless, let alone a pig without intelligence.

”Time to go home and eat roast pig~.”

Chen Yang recovered the Dou Qi in his body, then directly hoisted the Explosive Flame Pig onto his shoulder, humming a song as he walked toward Qingshan Town.

”...”

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Yang went directly to the entrance of the Wan Yao Pharmacy. He had long since inquired that Xiao Yi Xian would be going into the mountains to gather herbs this afternoon, and he was preparing to join them to see the situation.

”Recruiting! Looking for guards for Xiao Yi Xian to gather herbs in the mountains, 10 gold coins a day.”

The sound of recruitment kept coming from the entrance of the Wan Yao Pharmacy. Chen Yang walked over, arrived at the registration table, and looked at the middle-aged man who was recording names, saying.

”Uncle, do you think I can do it?”

Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man looked up, took one glance, and said, ”We don’t recruit children here. You should go somewhere else.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang’s face went dark. He directly unleashed his 7-star Dou Practitioner strength and asked again, narrowing his eyes.

”Uncle, take another look now.”

The middle-aged man looked up, his face full of shock. He had not expected that the 18-year-old child in front of him was actually a 7-star Dou Practitioner. They had to know that the strongest among them was only an 8-star Dou Practitioner.

Whispers also came from the side at this moment.

”Look, this kid is actually a 7-star Dou Practitioner.”

”This talent is too good, right? Could he be a young master from some family out for training?”

”Comparing people is infuriating. I’ve cultivated for so many years and I’m only a 3-star Dou Practitioner.”

The middle-aged man quickly said, ”Little friend, with your strength, of course you can join. May I ask your surname?”

Chen Yang smiled slightly and replied, ”Chen Yang!”

After recording Chen Yang’s name, the middle-aged man told him to go to the side and wait. As soon as Xiao Yi Xian arrived, they could set off into the mountains to gather herbs.

They did not wait long before a figure slowly walked over from the distance.

”Xiao Yi Xian is here.”

”Hello, Xiao Yi Xian.”

”Xiao Yi Xian...”

Chen Yang also watched that beautiful figure. She wore a white dress, a beaming smile on her face, with a willow-like waist that could be encircled by one hand. Her long black hair hung down to her waist, and she greeted the mercenaries as she walked.

”Assemble!”

A shout came, and the mercenaries present all walked over. Chen Yang naturally followed.

”My name is Wang Meng, and I am the captain leading this team. My strength is that of an 8-star Dou Practitioner. Next, I will lead you to protect Xiao Yi Xian as we enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs.”

After speaking, he began to arrange the work for the mercenaries, and Chen Yang was assigned to protect the right side.

Chen Yang naturally had no objections. After the arrangements were made, they began to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range. There were no Magical Beast attacks along the way.

They safely gathered some herbs. Seeing that it was getting late, the captain led the people to find a place to set up camp.

”...”

”Xiao Yi Xian, where are you going so late?”

At the edge of a cliff, Xiao Yi Xian was tying a rope to a large tree, with the other end thrown down the cliff. Just as Xiao Yi Xian was preparing to grab the rope and go down the cliff, a voice came from the darkness in the distance.

”Ah!!!”

Hearing the sudden voice, it was obvious that Xiao Yi Xian was startled. Her foot slipped, and she lost her footing, about to fall off the cliff.

Seeing the startled Xiao Yi Xian about to fall off the cliff, Chen Yang rushed out, hugged Xiao Yi Xian’s willow-like waist, and with a turn, saved Xiao Yi Xian from the edge of death.

”How much longer are you going to hold me?”

Xiao Yi Xian’s hands were placed on Chen Yang’s chest, her pair of lively eyes meeting Chen Yang’s gaze. Just like that, Xiao Yi Xian really couldn’t stand it, so she pushed Chen Yang away directly.

Her pair of eyes were full of anger; she had almost fallen off the cliff to her death.
