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

272: Section 272Xiancheng shook his head gently upon hearing this:

”Yaner, if you truly like it, we’ll just ’borrow’ it directly from the unlucky fellow who bought it later. As for the Dou Technique itself... what I’ve comprehended that best suits me is...”

As soon as he spoke, the three Young ladies in his arms all looked at Xiancheng.

However, they also knew in their hearts that their husband was different from them; they had long grown accustomed to it.

Therefore, they didn’t feel too many other negative emotions regarding his somewhat ”Versailles” remarks.

The last sect, named ”Heiji,” which seemed quite powerful, was successfully brought into their fold.

Hmm... in any case, in their eyes, this so-called ”Black Tomb” was also just a stray dog by the roadside, about to be casually picked up by them.

”Hmph... why do I feel like I’ll have to deal with that annoying Blood Sect later, and also provoke this ’Black Tomb’? It’s really troublesome.” Xiao Yan scratched her small head, somewhat distressed, and for a moment, didn’t know which one to ”visit” first.

Just then, the experienced auctioneer on the auction stage finally solemnly began to introduce the true highlight of this auction!

”Distinguished guests! Friends! Next to appear will be the last and most precious item of our Black-Corner Region Auction! It is—a world-rare seventh-grade high-level medicinal pill personally refined by the renowned Medicine Emperor adult of our Black-Corner Region—the yin yang dragon profound righteous pill!”

”Here, this old man can responsibly tell everyone that the true function of this yin yang dragon profound righteous pill is not to directly enhance the cultivator’s cultivation and strength. Its most miraculous and defying aspect lies in—breaking through after destruction!”

”If any friend is fortunate enough to consume this Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, then, in the future, when encountering severe injury, near death, and hanging by a thread, this medicinal pill will grant you a precious opportunity to break through after destruction and defy fate! And the so-called ’breaking through after destruction’ means being able to break all the shackles and restraints on the previous cultivation path, allowing one to be reborn like a phoenix in nirvana or a flood dragon transforming into a true dragon. Whether it’s the physical body, soul strength, or even Dou Qi cultivation, everything can advance further on the original foundation, reaching a new, higher, and stronger level!”

The auctioneer’s skilled boasts instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire auction hall! Just then, Medicine Lady directly jumped onto Xiancheng’s nose bridge.

Her crystal-clear, small jade feet, like white jade, were gently treading on Xiancheng’s slightly cool cheek.

She slowly closed her slightly ethereal eyes, which originally belonged to a spirit body, seemingly concentrating intently on sensing the unique and familiar medicinal pill aura emanating from the auction stage below.

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes. On her small, charming face, which had been slightly solemn due to past events, there was now a relaxed smile mixed with a hint of relief and contentment.

”Hehe... this girl hasn’t completely failed my careful guidance back then. She has made some rather innovative improvements based on my original Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill formula.”

Pill formula basis, she has made some rather innovative improvements.”

Xiancheng felt the refreshing coolness and comfort on his cheek, transmitted from Medicine Lady’s small jade feet and the close-fitting ice silkworm silk undershirt she wore. He opened his mouth and asked:

transmitted over, that refreshing coolness and comfort, he opened his mouth and asked:

”Oh? Master, what exactly did she improve?”

”Hmm. In my opinion, she seems to have additionally added several precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures with completely opposite attributes, such as ’Sun Gold Crystal’ and ’Moon Essence Dew,’ into the original formula. This way, it can effectively neutralize the violent energy contained within the Yin-Yang Twin Dragons themselves, so that the pain and risk the user needs to endure during the ’breaking through after destruction’ process will not be too intense or dangerous.”

Medicine Lady patiently explained, ”Moreover, the most valuable aspect of this pill lies in the two words ’Righteous Qi’ in its name. To successfully refine it, the Alchemist himself not only needs to possess peak alchemy skills but also needs to have an open mind and righteous spirit to succeed!”

”Hehe, Master, that last sentence of yours sounds like you’re subtly trying to clear your good disciple’s name,” Xiancheng said with a playful smirk and a somewhat direct tone.

Medicine Lady, hearing this, chuckled, revealing an expression that showed she had been seen through, and said righteously:

”Hmph! That girl was raised by my own hands, little by little! I know her true nature better than anyone! She is absolutely not an evil person whose nature is rotten to the core!”

Xiancheng, hearing this, merely stroked his chin noncommittally and did not argue further with Medicine Lady on the matter. After all, there was no need to discuss it again.

In his opinion, the true situation regarding that Medicine Emperor, Han Feng’er, could only be determined after he truly met her in the future.

Otherwise, if he were to form any preconceived notions based solely on Medicine Lady’s one-sided account, it would easily lead to the awkward joke of ’offering a warm face to a cold backside’.

Hmm... but speaking of which, he had been silently feeling the unique ’coolness’ transmitted from Medicine Lady’s ice silkworm silk undershirt and her cool, small jade feet all this time. Hmm, Master’s hips are really nice.

252 The Matter of Killing

That seventh-grade medicinal pill, the ”yin yang dragon profound righteous pill,” was ultimately acquired by a Dou Master of not high star-rank.

This person was dressed ordinarily, and their aura was not particularly strong, seemingly belonging to a second-rate sect in the Black-Corner Region.

Perhaps, for those truly first-rate forces, directly seizing by force is far more in line with their ’rules’ for survival in this chaotic land than spending enormous wealth to compete fairly at an auction.

It was precisely for this reason that this obscure Dou King from a second-rate sect was able to fortunately bid for this precious medicinal pill, which could drive countless strong cultivators mad.

Although the medicinal pill was already in hand, that Dou King felt no sense of relief.

He knew very well that the real test had only just begun the moment he walked out of the auction house.

The difficulties and dangers of safely transporting this hot potato back to the sect would likely be a hundred times more perilous than he imagined.

As the auction concluded, the representatives of various forces, clad in different black robes, who had previously been red-faced in their 爭奪 of treasures, all rose and left. Each of them walked with hurried steps and varied expressions, clearly harboring their own schemes and calculations.

It seems that in this dog-eat-dog, lawless Black-Corner Region, there wasn’t just one group of people with thoughts of ’killing and plundering’. But no matter what, for Xiancheng, coming to the Black-Corner Region this time, besides settling the long-standing grievances for Medicine Lady,

The main purpose was to use the chaotic environment here and the endless desperadoes to properly temper the somewhat naive Young ladies around him.

After collecting the ’little trinkets’ they had purchased at the auction earlier, Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yi Xian, the three Young ladies, did not waste any more time there.

They each took out their weapons, their beautiful eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation, and swiftly pursued the Young Sect Master of the Blood Sect in the direction he had left.

It seemed they had made up their minds to first deal with the guy who had dared to maliciously provoke Xiao Yan at the auction earlier and had successfully angered her.

Xiancheng, Purple Wing, and Lü Man, on the other hand, leisurely trailed behind them, like three experienced elders, following unhurriedly, ready to ’enjoy’ the ’good show’ that was about to unfold.

At this moment, Qing Lin and Yun Yan, the two little lolis who had been quietly by Xiancheng’s side, clung tightly to Xiancheng again, one on his left and one on his right, like two clingy kittens.

They affectionately rubbed their small, delicate heads against Xiancheng’s warm body, looking utterly adorable.

Seeing this, Xiancheng revealed a gentle smile. He reached out and gently pinched the upturned little noses of the two lolis, his actions full of doting and affection.

Under the current circumstances, it should, by rights, be a tense moment, with a great battle imminent and a storm brewing.

But Xiancheng’s demeanor was exceptionally relaxed and comfortable, as if what awaited them was not a bloody and cruel slaughter.

But merely a harmless game of make-believe, like children playing.

”Qing Lin, how is your cultivation progressing now?” Xiancheng asked softly, looking at the green-eyed little loli in his arms, ”Is the cultivation technique prepared for you by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion still easy to use?”

Unlike Yun Yan, who had already advanced to the Dou King realm and could transform Dou Qi into wings to fly freely, Qing Lin’s cultivation was still shallow at this moment, unable to sustain flight for long periods.

Therefore, she could only tightly embrace Xiancheng’s solid arm, pressing her small and delicate body as close to him as possible to gain a sense of security.

Hearing Xiancheng’s gentle inquiry, her already somewhat shy pretty face couldn’t help but flush with two captivating blushes. Her small head slightly lowered, she softly replied in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz: ”Young Master, Qing Lin has initially mastered that technique.

It’s just that there are still some parts that Qing Lin doesn’t quite understand. Young Master, could you come a little closer? Qing Lin will explain it to you in detail...”

Xiancheng heard this, a knowing smile appearing on his face. He lowered his head slightly, leaning his ear a bit closer to Qing Lin. However, to his surprise, Qing Lin’s next action was not to ask him about difficulties in the cultivation technique, as he had expected.

difficulties in the cultivation technique.

The green-eyed little loli, after taking a deep breath, suddenly looked up, and in her originally shy and timid green eyes, a hint of slyness now appeared.

She actively kissed Xiancheng.

Xiancheng paused slightly, then reacted.

He reached out, gently embracing Qing Lin’s soft and slender waist, while also tenderly and passionately returning her kiss. After a while, their lips parted.

Qing Lin’s already tender and fair face was now as red as a ripe apple, almost dripping blood.

She was too shy to look into Xiancheng’s eyes again, so she could only bury her burning cheeks deep into Xiancheng’s warm shoulder.

Then, in a trembling voice, as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, she began to recount in detail to Xiancheng the confusion and doubts she had encountered while cultivating the Heavenly Serpent Mansion’s cultivation technique.

After obtaining the ”Sovereigns Presence,” or more accurately, after his own innate, heaven-defying cultivation talent was completely awakened.

Xiancheng’s comprehension was no longer restricted and ”locked” by the system’s inexplicable limitations as it had been before. Now, he was constantly maintaining a peak state of ”sudden enlightenment” and ”full comprehension.”

Therefore, after listening to Qing Lin’s detailed description of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion cultivation technique, he only had to ponder briefly in his mind before he completely understood the essential points and secrets regarding how to better train and utilize the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Immediately afterward, based on the key points he had just grasped, along with Qing Lin’s unique physique and talent, he silently began tailoring a brand-new, unique ”Cloud Fairy” cultivation technique exclusively for her, Qing Lin.

Although this brand-new cultivation technique was still of the same rank—High Earth-Tier—as the ”Cloud Fairy” cultivated by the Young ladies before,

the specific cultivation methods and focus areas were much more aligned with Qing Lin’s own characteristics and advantages, undoubtedly adding a layer of ”private customization” compared to the versions cultivated by the other Young ladies.

A moment later, Xiancheng slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep as the starry sky.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched Qing Lin’s smooth, full forehead with his own.

Then, using this most direct and mysterious method, he transmitted the entire ”Cloud Fairy” cultivation technique, which he had just perfected in his mind and which belonged exclusively to Qing Lin, word for word, into the depths of her consciousness.

Qing Lin felt the intimate interaction between them, her heart still overflowing with excitement.

After the transmission of the cultivation technique was complete, she could no longer suppress the volcanic eruption of excitement and love surging within her, and she once again actively pressed a deep, grateful, and infatuated kiss onto Xiancheng’s lips.

However, just as Xiancheng and Qing Lin were immersed in this warm and sweet ”world for two.”

A gaze carrying a hint of coldness and... resentment, shot over like an arrow from the side, causing him to freeze slightly. He subconsciously turned his head and met Yun Yan’s adorable, wide eyes, which were puffed up and glaring at him, full of ”jealousy.”

Seeing this, Xiancheng couldn’t help but find it amusing. He naturally extended his arm, gently wrapped it around her, and pulled the ”little jealous pot” next to him—who was pouting and wearing an ”I’m very unhappy” expression—into his embrace as well.

Then, he lowered his head and gently rubbed his nose against Yun Yan’s adorable, small, and upturned nose—a gesture full of pampering and reassurance.

Yun Yan, who had been feeling slightly gloomy due to ”fighting for affection,” felt Xiancheng’s intimate and gentle gesture, and her face—

which had been tightly drawn, instantly bloomed into a brilliant yet shy and sweet smile, as if ice and snow had melted away.

Her bright eyes curved into two adorable crescent moons, and she clung softly to Xiancheng’s side like a kitten, the small hint of jealousy from before having long since vanished without a trace.

Xiancheng’s brilliant display of effortlessly and skillfully defusing a potentially explosive ”harem jealousy war” in such a casual manner,

naturally caused Purple Wing and Lü Man, who had been silently ”watching the show” nearby, to exchange glances and then simultaneously let out knowing, soft laughter.

Such a relaxed, harmonious, warm, and sweet atmosphere... truly did not look like war was imminent.

However, for the three Young ladies—Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yi Xian—who were currently chasing rapidly in the direction the Young Sect Master of the Blood Sect had fled, their mood and the atmosphere were much more serious.

Among the three, Xiao Yi Xian’s cultivation level was the highest; she was already a genuine Dou King Expert.

Looking at Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran beside her, whose cultivation was still stuck at the Great Dou Master realm, she couldn’t help but put her hands on her hips, display a smug expression of ”who else but me,” and declare boldly:

”Hmph! Don’t panic, little sisters! Your big sister is now an honorable Dou King! It seems this first battle today will have to be covered by me! You two little sisters, just fight freely! I’ve got everything covered!”

Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s slightly ”boastful” and ”self-promoting” remarks, Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan both couldn’t help but silently roll their eyes internally, instantly losing the temper to argue with her.

After all, the Calamity Poison Body can level up just by consuming poisons; they truly couldn’t compare.

253 Robbery is such a thing

Thinking this, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran tacitly chose to ignore Xiao Yi Xian’s slightly ”provocative” words. After all, they had previously managed to maintain the superficial harmony of ”sisterly affection” in front of Lord Guan.

But now that their husband was no longer by their side, those so-called terms like ”big sister” and ”little sister” naturally could not be easily uttered anymore.

”The escape route chosen by the Young Sect Master of the Blood Sect... seems a little strange.”

Xiao Yan’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she carefully observed the complex terrain and jagged rocks of the mountain forest ahead, thoughtfully changing the subject.

Nalan Yanran nodded in agreement upon hearing this and added, ”Yes, that’s right. Looking at how rushed and suspicious they are,

they seem to be intent on killing people and seizing treasures... Tsk, tsk, the order in the Black-Corner Region is truly terrible.”

Seeing that both Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran had completely ignored her earlier ”bold words,” Xiao Yi Xian immediately felt deflated. She pouted and proactively suggested:

”In that case, why don’t we quietly follow behind them and wait to see what happens? Once they and the true owner of the medicinal pill fight until both sides are—”

mutually wounded and exhausted, we can step in and reap the benefits of the fisherman, how about that?”

Although the three Young ladies usually behaved like docile kittens in front of Xiancheng.

In reality, they were not simple-minded or naive rookies. They naturally agreed to Xiao Yi Xian’s suggestion in unison.

Thus, the three of them immediately restrained their aura and, like three experienced cheetahs, silently trailed far behind the Blood Sect entourage.

The Young Sect Master of the Blood Sect, surrounded by a group of guards, walked directly into a long, narrow canyon with treacherous terrain that was easy to defend but hard to attack. Deep within the canyon, a powerful and cold aura belonging to a Dou Huang expert seemed faintly discernible.

Before long, a middle-aged man wearing blood-colored robes and bearing a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to the Young Sect Master of the Blood Sect, swaggered out of the depths of the canyon, leading a group of Blood Sect disciples who also possessed fierce auras and imposing murderous intent.

It looked like this middle-aged man was, nine times out of ten, the current Sect Master of the Blood Sect, a genuine Dou Huang expert. Because Lü Man had already secretly cast a rather clever aura concealment technique on Xiancheng’s group,

naturally, the murderous Blood Sect disciples below were completely unaware that several pairs of eyes were above their heads, watching their forthcoming ”performance” with great interest.

”Heh, to snatch a seventh-tier medicinal pill, even the Sect Master has to personally come out to ambush and sneak attack. I think this so-called sect isn’t much different from those low-grade, house-robbing criminal gangs.”

Xiancheng watched the Blood Sect disciples below, busy running around for their own selfish desires, a cold, disdainful smile playing on his lips. He turned his head, shook it helplessly at Purple Wing and Lü Man beside him, and spoke.

Lü Man was clearly long accustomed to the chaotic scene of the strong preying on the weak and lawlessness in the Black-Corner Region. Hearing his words, she merely covered her mouth with a soft chuckle and said gently:

”Hehe, my husband, you speak incorrectly. How can the perilous Black-Corner Region be compared to the Jia Ma Empire, which is filled with music, dance, peace, and comfort? A refined, transcendent, and unrestrained person like you naturally... stands out here in this blood-soaked and filthy hollow.”

She paused, then continued, ”Besides, the Black-Corner Region is inherently a gathering place for countless desperate outlaws from all over the Fighting Qi Continent. Here, human life is the cheapest thing.”

”Hmm, there is merit to Lü Man’s words.” Purple Wing, standing nearby, nodded in deep agreement, but then changed the subject, a hint of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes as she spoke,

”Right now, the only thing we need to worry about is whether the Blood Sect’s Sect Master, after successfully snatching the seventh-tier medicinal pill, might impulsively swallow it on the spot. If that happens, it could be troublesome.”

Xiancheng nodded in agreement upon hearing this, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness as he softly said, ”Hmm, Purple Wing, you make a good point. If he truly dares to do that, then it seems I cannot continue to stand by.”

As he spoke, he turned his head and gave Purple Wing, who had just provided him with ”important information,” a light peck on her luscious red lips as a reward.

After all, she was the ”Senior Sister” vouched for by Medicine Lady. Although he wasn’t close to her, she was barely considered family, so taking things that belonged to family was normal, right? Even if Xiancheng himself didn’t have much need for external resources.

However, the beautiful confidantes and Young ladies around him always needed various heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and miraculous elixirs to aid their cultivation. After being slightly stunned by Xiancheng’s sudden ”fragrant kiss,” Purple Wing’s exquisite face, which had originally carried a hint of laziness and charm—
