Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

238: Section 238”Ha, this little fellow Xiancheng is quite clever. This move has actually managed to unite the people’s hearts here.”

Yun Ziyi looked at her with a flicker of a smile in her eyes, then slowly said, ”Lü Man, have you noticed...”

”Lately, you’ve always been murmuring about my husband?”

Although these words sounded like something a wife would say when catching a ’mistress’ cheating...

Yun Ziyi’s eyes and tone didn’t carry any meaning of that sort. She was simply stating a fact calmly.

”This...” Hearing this, Green Savage’s pretty face turned slightly red.

She thought back carefully and realized that lately, she had indeed been constantly murmuring about that ’lecher’ Yun Xiancheng, whether intentionally or not.

Who told that guy to always do such unexpected things, always say such heart-pounding words, and always make ripples in her calm heart?

”It’s alright.”

Seeing her slightly embarrassed appearance, Yun Ziyi gave her a sweet smile full of tolerance and anticipation. ”We are waiting for you.”

”Waiting for you to truly enter our family.”

Seeing Yun Ziyi’s magnanimous and sincere smile, Green Savage was completely stunned. She knew more or less about the situation in old-fashioned noble families.

In those old noble families, the women fought for favor and profit, plotting against each other, and even resorting to killing their own kind... She had seen too much of that.

Yet, this Dou Huang expert, who was the transformed Amethyst Winged Lion King, was actually so open-minded?

”I never said I wanted to become...” Green Savage’s voice grew lower, sounding somewhat lacking in confidence. ”Sister Green, are you really unwilling to be with Qing Lin?”

At that moment, Qing Lin, who was sitting in Yun Ziyi’s lap, looked up at Green Savage with her emerald-green, pure, and innocent eyes. She reached out her small hand, gently touched her cheek, and asked softly.

Nearby, Nalan Yanran and Little Lion couldn’t help but exchange a smile at this strange sight of the harem helping Yun Xiancheng ’pick up girls’. Over this period, Green Savage and Qing Lin had gotten along extremely well, and she had already considered herself her Dao Protector from the bottom of her heart.

Now, being ’pushed to marry’ by Qing Lin like this, Green Savage’s cheeks turned completely red, like a cooked shrimp. ”You guys...”

She suddenly realized that she no longer felt any resistance in her heart toward the idea of ’becoming Yun Xiancheng’s woman’.

Who told that ’dead man’ to be so outstanding? Green Savage thought with a mix of helplessness and sweetness. ”Can this Poison Master still refine pills well?”

Nalan Yanran looked at the Poison Master, who was already drenched in sweat under the pressure, and couldn’t help but ask. ”He’s not important.”

Yao Ye sat beside Nalan Yanran and said softly, ”He is just a catalyst for the national sentiment.”

After Heavenly Moon gifted the cauldron, she was a bit idle. She walked with small steps to the side of the judge’s bench.

Yun Xiancheng looked at her sparkling little eyes.

”Come up, sit beside me.” Yun Xiancheng pulled her to his side.

Heavenly Moon was suddenly filled with excitement.

She sat beside Yun Xiancheng, her two small legs swinging relaxed in the air, revealing the young lady’s current mood. ”Young Master Yun...”

Just as Heavenly Moon was about to say something, Yun Xiancheng said softly, ”There are many people now, the Little Princess should mind her manners.”

Then, like a big brother, he rubbed the Little Princess’s head. This sweet interaction made some motherly viewers faint on the spot. ”Mm, okay.”

The Little Princess also didn’t like to show too much of her personality in front of outsiders. Hearing Yun Xiancheng’s words, she nodded gently and whispered, ”What happens next?” She was asking about the future of the Empire.

Her father’s death had a big impact on her. Although they hadn’t met many times, Heavenly Moon would still receive gifts on her birthdays. Now that a blood relative had died just like that, she was a bit lost.

Yun Xiancheng looked at this loli princess.

Her petite body was dressed in a princess dress, and because she wasn’t tall enough, her two small feet swung aimlessly in the air. There was a hint of contemplation in her eyes.

For anyone, the passing of a loved one is often a catalyst for growth. ”Afterwards, perhaps your sister will be the Empress. You can just focus on your cultivation and alchemy.”

”And what about the Young Master?” Heavenly Moon asked.

”I’ll probably go abroad for training.”

Hearing Yun Xiancheng’s words, Heavenly Moon pinched the edge of her skirt.

”Then doesn’t that mean... you’re leaving?” The Little Princess looked up, a bit of tension in her eyes as she looked at Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng gently rubbed her head:

”It’s fine, there’s still quite a while. During this time, I’ll be here.”

Heavenly Moon mumbled something and wanted to say more, but in the end, she didn’t speak out as proactively as her sister.

Yao Ye sat in the Dou Huang seats, looking down at Heavenly Moon on the judge’s bench. Her hand gripping the railing tightened a bit, as if she were making a decision. She saw the melancholy look on her sister’s face.

As the older sister, she really didn’t want to see her sister’s crying face. ”Don’t be sad, I’ll play with you later, okay?”

Yun Xiancheng saw Heavenly Moon’s expression, leaned down slightly, and spoke to her. At the same time, he gave a faint smile.

The sunlight cast down from above the square, shining right on Yun Xiancheng’s profile. The young lady said no more, just looking at Yun Xiancheng calmly.

A notification sound rang in Yun Xiancheng’s ear. [Detecting relevant favorability...]

178 Pill Formation

”Little Yanzi, refining this pill requires you to control three different flames simultaneously. You alone would have found it difficult to persist. Fortunately, you have your two sisters to help you. This time... it’s basically a success.”

Medicine Lady’s previous words echoed in her mind. At this moment, Xiao Yan’s consciousness was already somewhat blurred.

Medicine Lady had made it sound easy before, but once she actually started, controlling three flames at once while maintaining soul power output required a massive amount of consumption, leaving her no room to think about anything else.

Even with Lin Fei and Snow Charm, her two sisters, connecting their soul power to her for assistance, it was still the case.

The domineering green flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame and the violent purple flame of the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s Beast Fire, under the difficult control of the three girls, were burning the two rare medicinal ingredients Medicine Lady had ’borrowed’ from Medusa’s garden earlier—twin dragon whisker grass and tiger soul profound crystal.

Medicine Lady looked at the flickering flames in the pill furnace and the fine beads of sweat on the three girls’ foreheads, sighing softly, ”It seems that for them, this pill is still... a bit too difficult.”

”Should I... help you?” Just as Medicine Lady finished speaking and was hesitating whether to step in personally, before Xiao Yan could respond—

She felt the mysterious soul connection between them suddenly deepen! It was as if a new force had come from Yun Xiancheng’s side, injecting into their soul network!

”What did Little Chengzi do?”

Medicine Lady felt this strange sensation, and then she noticed her own presence popping up in the family network. The girls felt the arrival of a new sister and sent messages of congratulations one after another.

But Medicine Lady couldn’t bring herself to be happy; for her, showing up in the family network like this was simply too embarrassing!

However, Medicine Lady also knew she couldn’t hide forever; this day had to come eventually. She looked up at Xiao Yan.

She saw the cooperation between the three girls instantly become more seamless! The previously flickering flames became stable and powerful!

The Green Lotus Core Flame and the Beast Fire entwined with each other like two agile fire dragons, completely enveloping and refining the twin dragon whisker grass and tiger soul profound crystal, turning them into two clumps of incredibly pure medicinal liquid!

The two flames had refined them perfectly, and the medicinal liquid was already purified. Now, only the third flame was needed to attempt pill condensation. Medicine Lady thought to herself, then turned her gaze to the two monster cores she had scavenged from Gu Te’s treasures earlier.

Then, a bone-chilling white flame seeped from Xiao Yan’s palm—it was the Bone Chilling Flame!

It surrounded those two monster cores and quickly refined them into two clumps of medicinal liquid emitting pure energy. Medicine Lady knew in her heart that the control of this third flame could only be handled by her personally.

The soul power of Xiao Yan’s trio was at its limit, no longer able to support such refined and massive consumption.

Medicine Lady muttered to herself: If that kid Yun Xiancheng had ’dealt with’ Little Princess Heavenly Moon sooner, letting the four of them connect their souls together, perhaps with the total soul power of the four, they could have barely lasted until the pill condensation stage.

”Next, it’s up to you to condense the pill.” Medicine Lady gathered the three clumps of medicinal liquid together, her tone carrying a hint of encouragement, intending to use this opportunity to train them.

But there was only one set of medicinal ingredients, which were extremely precious, so she was ready to take over at any moment.

The Young ladies all nodded heavily upon hearing this. Their souls communicated and divided tasks quickly in the ’family network’, and then with synchronized thoughts, they began the final pill condensation step.

As the pill condensation began, a rich and intoxicating pill fragrance, like something physical, wafted out from the pill furnace.

This pill fragrance instantly spread across the venue, drawing a burst of exclamations from the surrounding audience! ”Heavens! What kind of pill is this?!”

”Even before the pill is formed, there’s such a phenomenon! Is this... could it be that they are refining a Tier 5 pill?!” Bursts of amazement rang out from the audience seats.

First there was Princess Heavenly Moon gifting the cauldron, then Xiao Yan, Lin Fei, and Snow Charm refining together on the same stage, and now the appearance of Heavenly Flames... The shock Xiao Yan brought was continuous, wave after wave!

Meanwhile, that old geezer from Izumo was already drenched in cold sweat, his face pale.

He had thought that as the local branch president of the Izumo Empire’s Alchemist Guild, personally coming to deal with a group of juniors from the Jia Ma Empire would be a sure thing.

Before he could even truly harbor ill intent, he had already felt the cold and murderous gaze cast by Yun Xiancheng. That gaze was like a sharp sword, almost instantly shattering his mental defenses and disrupting his pill-refining rhythm!

I’m dead... I must do something. The old geezer no longer had any thoughts of refining pills; his mind was filled only with how to survive under this terrifying Young Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect.

One side was undistracted, fully concentrated on the pill furnace with highly focused soul power and seamless cooperation. The other side was in mental chaos, having lost all fighting spirit, thinking only of how to save his life.

The winner of this Alchemist Convention was already obvious, without any suspense. As time passed, the phenomenon around Xiao Yan’s pill furnace became more intense.

The pill fragrance was so rich it almost solidified, and even the sounds of dragon roars and tiger growls came from the pill furnace, full of power and shocking to the heart! ”Pill formed!”

Xiao Yan felt the aura of completion in the pill furnace and the endless joy that surged into her heart at the moment of formation. It was a great sense of accomplishment after enduring hardships!

She snapped her eyes open and announced loudly!

Then, a pill emitting a brilliant golden light with mysterious patterns flowing on its surface flew out of the cauldron as if it had a life of its own!

The moment the pill emerged, it was accompanied by a majestic and high-pitched dragon cry that echoed through the venue, shocking everyone! This pill was indeed a Tier 5 pill!

While everyone’s eyes were drawn to the phenomenon of this Tier 5 pill, marveling and cheering for it... BOOM!

Only a loud explosion was heard.

The Izumo Empire old geezer’s pill cauldron suddenly exploded, and a burst of purple toxic mist spread across the entire square in an instant. Yun Xiancheng pulled the Little Princess Heavenly Moon into his arms, conjuring a circular protective shield.

This toxic gas was likely the old geezer’s trump card poison. The moment it spread to the audience stands, many spectators bled black blood from their seven orifices on the spot. For a time, chaos erupted everywhere.

Yun Xiancheng drew his long sword and said to Heavenly Moon, ”Little Princess, you just sit here and watch.”

Seeing Yun Xiancheng like this, Heavenly Moon nodded and pursed her lips, saying, ”Mm, stay safe.”

The young lady watched the youth’s back disappear into the purple toxic mist. Then, only a flash of sword light was seen as the two began to fight within the mist. A clump of flame emerged from her palm, and she directly boiled water on her hand.

The battle didn’t last long, perhaps only a few rounds. Yun Xiancheng walked back slowly, carrying a severed head. By then, the toxic mist was gradually dissipating.

Heavenly Moon walked to Yun Xiancheng’s side with a cup of hot tea and said softly, ”Young Master, please have some tea.”

Yun Xiancheng tossed the head onto the ground, took Heavenly Moon’s tea, and began to drink. ”It must have been hard for you to boil tea on flat ground.”

”Because I think if this event is to be recorded in books later, serving tea to the returning hero would be a very good memory point,” Heavenly Moon explained.

Yun Xiancheng laughed and rubbed her head.

”Then let the history books witness our intimate moment.”

179 Xiao Yan and Ran compete for a round first, but it’s a match with Senior Brother

In the Jia Ma Empire, since the Emperor’s death, waves have been rising and things have been in chaos.

But none of these were things Yun Xiancheng wanted to experience. The clouds and winds of the Imperial City were not his focus.

Yun Xiancheng was in the midst of it, actively avoiding those pointless changes and enjoying a piece of tranquility.

At this moment, deep within the Mittel Auction House, in a spacious room specially set up by Ya Fei, the atmosphere was completely different from the clamor outside, filled with an ambiguous warmth.

Xiao Yan parted her crimson lips, her voice soft and gentle: ”Senior Brother, this pill is for you.”

She was dressed in a black dress, deep as the night, and she put the pill she had obtained at the Alchemist Convention a few days ago into her mouth.

Then, she leaned forward and personally fed it to Yun Xiancheng. How could Yun Xiancheng only eat the pill?
