Battle through the heaven: Azure Emperor

Mang Ba was a little disappointed when he heard this. He scratched his bald head and muttered to himself, "Picking herbs is really like robbing money. If I had known earlier, I would have sent my son to Wanyao Zhai to be an apprentice."

Of course, he was just joking. It wasn't easy to become an apprentice doctor. Even if it was an apprentice doctor, the elimination rate was very high. Those who didn't study seriously and didn't have any talent would be eliminated in the first round.

In addition, this White Orchid Fruit was only discovered by Yan Aoyama with his amazing observation skills. The Little Doctor was only able to recognize it after Yan Aoyama pointed it out. If it was an ordinary apprentice doctor, even if Yan Aoyama pointed at the White Orchid Fruit, he wouldn't be able to find it.

Yan Aoyama looked around with the corner of his eyes. He then turned to Mang Ba and asked, "Oh right, Uncle Mang Ba, why are you looking for me?"

Mang Ba slapped his head and pushed Yang Wu forward, "I'm not the one looking for you. It's Yang Wu. He's here to thank you."

Yang Wu was the mercenary who was saved by Yan Aoyama. He carefully handed over a shiny white crystal core to Yan Aoyama, as if he was afraid of being rejected, "Little brother Aoyama, I still have to thank you for saving me. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

"It's nothing. We're all in the same team, so it's only right that we help each other. There's no need to thank me."

Yan Aoyama waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. He then shook his head and said, "You should take back this Scarlet Ice Snake's crystal core. It's not easy for you to come out, so there's no need to be like this. If you really want to thank me, then protect the safety of our herb gathering team.

Also, I would like to ask you to help me find some wood attributed magic beasts. Wood attributed magic beast cores are still useful to me. "

"Alright! You brat … "

Yang Wu was about to say something when Mang Ba slapped his shoulder and interrupted him. He pointed at Yan Aoyama and then at the Little Doctor. He then smiled and left with Yang Wu.

"Big … Big Brother Yan!"

The Little Doctor's gaze was somewhat evasive. Yan Aoyama smiled and retracted some of his burning gaze. He spoke in a low voice, once again bringing the relationship between the two closer. The girl was no longer nervous, and the laughter continued.

Yan Aoyama and the Little Doctor found a few ordinary herbs by the side of the cliff. Only then did they turn around to meet up with the others. However, what no one noticed was that Yan Aoyama's eyes were extremely deep and unfathomable.

…

At the northern entrance of Aoyama Town, a fully loaded carriage was escorted by more than a hundred men to the entrance of the Wanyao Zhai Town. After paying the mercenaries, the herb-gathering team brought the carriage full of herbs into the Wanyao Zhai Town.

Yan Aoyama brought the Little Doctor to store the herbs he had collected. After receiving a decent reward, he quickly returned to his small hut and could not wait to immerse his mind into his mind.

"Di di di …"

Yan Aoyama's ears faintly heard a few notifications. His face was filled with excitement and nervousness. Countless streams of information interweaved in his mind, and among them, there were several messages showing various kinds of progress.

Foundation Elixir: Purple Leaved Grass, two five year old Bone Washing Flowers, one level one wood type monster core … … 99.9%

Qi Gathering Powder: Four fifty year old Black Leaf Lotuses, two mature Snake Saliva Fruits, one twenty year old Spirit Gathering Grass, and one water type level two monster core … … 60%

Blood Clotting Powder: One Blood Clotting Grass, one Vitality Fruit, two poppy flowers … … 80%

Blood Lotus Pill: Blood Lotus Essence, Ice Flame Grass, level four water type monster core … … Progress … … 20%

Three Lines Green Spirit Pill: Green Flame Grass, Black Gastrodia Flax … … 11%

Qi Returning Pill: Red Spirit Returning Fruit 3%

Earth Spirit Pill: Earth Core Fire Grass, Dragon Whisker Ice Fire Fruit, Green Wood Celestial Vine, level six water type monster core … … 0.1%

Yan Aoyama attentively waited for the arrival of the final moment. His heart was incomparably nervous and expectant. If this time he succeeded, then it meant that there was no problem with his idea. Then he would have the capital to rise up in the Dou Qi continent.

In order to rise up, Yan Aoyama naturally thought of ways to strengthen himself. Relying on his powerful memory, he was able to find a few complete pill recipes from novels that he had read before. Using Dawn, he was able to deduce them.

Dawn's calculation mechanism was based on his cognitive database. As long as he had come into contact with the specific effects of the herbs, he could record them into the database. Through the large data, it was possible to analyze the complete pill recipe.

That's right, a complete pill recipe. A real pill recipe did not only record the ratio of the herbs, but also the processing method and the detailed steps. Even with these, alchemists would often make mistakes. But Yan Aoyama only knew the ratio of the herbs. If he directly tried it, he would definitely lose everything.

Fortunately, he still had Dawn. Dawn could not conduct scientific research to break through difficult problems, but after collecting enough data, it could carry out unlimited deductions. In theory, it could deduce the feasibility and effect of any pill recipe.

But Yan Aoyama still remembered the rough steps and effects of these pill recipes. With a portion of the process and the final result, the difficulty and progress of the deduction would be much lower, and the possibility of obtaining results would be much higher.

Of course, for some precious medicinal herbs, Yan Qingshan couldn't find them at all. Since he couldn't come into contact with them, he naturally couldn't collect any data. He could only rely on the simple notes in the encyclopedia of medicinal herbs, and couldn't deduce them at all.

Also, his brain was limited, so he could only work on the first two pill recipes. The first two pill recipes were the ones he needed the most, so the analysis speed was the highest. Among them, the most important one was the Foundation Elixir, which had already entered the countdown.

Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One

As the number behind 0.1% continued to move, the progress of the Foundation Elixir recipe finally reached 100%. Along with a large amount of information exploding in his mind, Yan Qingshan's smile became even more exaggerated, as if he was grinning from ear to ear.

Foundation Elixir: Three Purple Leaved Grass, Two Five Year Bone Washing Flowers, One Level 1 Wood Attribute Monster Core

Concoction Method: Three Purple Leaved Grass are crushed with Dou Qi to extract the liquid. Add the Bone Washing Flower and soak in it to the limit. Crush the Wood Attribute Monster Core and merge it into the elixir at a speed of 1500 revolutions … …

Yan Aoyama's analysis of the Foundation Elixir recipe was naturally different from the original recipe. It was not that he could not deduce the steps of the original recipe, but that he simply could not use that method. Yao Lao was a pinnacle Level 8 Alchemist, so it was easy for him to refine the Foundation Elixir.

But with Yan Aoyama's conditions, it was naturally impossible for him to use that method. The steps of the Foundation Elixir recipe were much more complicated, and the effect was far less than the Foundation Elixir, but it was the best he could do under his current conditions.

But he was not discouraged. Things that could assist in the cultivation of Dou Qi were very precious. Speaking of which, he had profited greatly.

… …

Five months later, in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, snowflakes fluttered down. The mountain peak was covered in snow, and the biting cold wind was blowing. In the silent forest, there were almost no traces of people or beasts.

In the backyard of the Wanyao Zhai, the originally lively living room was much quieter than before. During the New Year, the Wanyao Zhai would have a holiday.

Most of the apprentices would go home. Only people like Yan Aoyama and the Little Doctor, who did not have any family, would stay at the Wanyao Zhai. At least they still knew a few people here.

In Yan Aoyama's courtyard, a figure was sitting cross-legged in a bath. Time flew by, but it was still the same youth.

During the half a year of cultivation, although the young man often went out, he spent more time in the house than outside. Because he rarely saw sunlight and often soaked in water, his skin was abnormally white. Although he was not handsome, he looked very clean and beautiful, with a somewhat otherworldly temperament.

"Inhale … Inhale … Inhale …"

Yan Aoyama revolved his Dou Qi, and the water in the bath slightly rippled. Between the ripples, streams of energy were absorbed into his body to strengthen his Dou Qi.

The pale green liquid continued to change, thinning and fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, Yan Qingshan's Dou Qi continued to grow stronger and stronger. At a certain point, it finally reached its peak and approached a gate. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally … … 9th Phase Dou Qi."

Yan Aoyama slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi. The slightly black Qi was like an arrow that shot out three feet. After finishing his cultivation, he felt his body relax, and the Dou Qi in his body also reached its peak.

To reach the peak of 9th Phase Dou Qi in half a year, Yan Aoyama's cultivation speed could be considered terrifying. But compared to those who really cheated, it was still too far away.

"Now that I've reached the peak of 9th Phase Dou Qi, the next step is … …"

Yan Aoyama walked into the room and took out a sealed jade bottle from a locked cabinet. The bottle looked like it was made of warm jade, but it wasn't made of real jade. It was made of a type of wood called Jasper Tree, and was most suitable for storing the powder.

"One month should be enough, but I can't fail. If I fail this time, I don't know how long it will take to find another set of materials!"

Yan Qingshan brought it to his ear and carefully shook the wooden bottle, his eyes full of nervousness. "The qi-gathering elixir requires four stalks of 50 year old Inky Leaf Lotus, two ripe Snake Saliva Fruits, one Spirit Gathering Grass that is around 20 years old, and one level two water attribute magic core.

It also requires the painstaking efforts of a qualified level 3 alchemist. It is one of the most difficult level 3 pills, and it can help a 9th Phase Dou Qi breakthrough to Dou Zhe.

Just the materials alone cost more than 50 thousand gold coins, and it also requires an alchemist. Naturally, it's not something I can afford. Fortunately, other than the water attributed magic core, the other materials were all found in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

According to Dawn's calculations, this should be the most suitable method for my current condition. Storing it for a month should be enough to dissolve the most difficult water attributed magic core. The resulting liquid won't be as good as the real Qi Gathering Powder, but it should have the same effect as the Qi Gathering Liquid.

For me, this is already very good. At least it's better than not having any other methods to help me breakthrough! "

Yan Aoyama nervously opened the sealed bottle. A fragrant smell assailed his nostrils. Just by smelling it, his Dou Qi became a bit more active. Looking at the green and blue liquid inside the bottle that was as thick as honey and as sparkling as glass.

After unsealing it, he didn't dare to hesitate and directly put it into his mouth and swallowed it. The liquid he made couldn't compare to pills. Once the seal was opened, it would lose its medicinal properties and couldn't be stored for a long time.

Thus, he could only confirm that the liquid was a success and immediately take it to breakthrough to Dou Zhe. As for whether or not he could become a Dou Zhe, that would depend on whether or not the heavens would give him face.

After drinking the liquid, Yan Aoyama trembled and threw down the wooden bottle. Then, he returned to the cold bath and sat down cross-legged to begin his breakthrough. One star Dou Zhe.
