Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 360 Senior Sister's Advice

Outside Black Seal City, Xiao Yan came to the sparse woods where Lu Yao was buried.

Xiao Yan stood in front of Lu Yao's tomb, staring at the tombstone quietly. He was silent for an unknown length of time before he started looking for the Xuan Zhong Ruler in the ring.

Ah, the Xuan Zhong Ruler is at the Little Medical Fairy’s place.

Xiao Yan suddenly thought about it, and then he remembered something. He raised a hand, and black aura emerged and wrapped around his arm, forming a monster-like claw.

Until now, Xiao Yan didn't know where this power came from, as if it suddenly appeared from his own body.

But at this time, he had no intention of delving into this.

The other arm was also covered in huge black claws, lying on the ground digging deep pits one after another next to Lu Yao's tomb.

Ten minutes later, all nine deep pits were dug out by Xiao Yan. Then Xiao Yan took out the children's frozen corpses from the ring, pieced them together one by one, and placed them in those deep pits.

During the whole process, Xiao Yan didn't think about anything, or he didn't know what to think. He just quietly placed the children's bodies.

Not far away, the little medical fairy and others arrived one after another, and Yao Chen and Han Feng were also following. Medusa, who had fallen asleep again, transformed into a colorful sky-swallowing python, lying quietly in Yao Chen's hand and whining loudly. sleep.

Looking at Xiao Yan's series of actions, Haibodong frowned slightly.

"What is this kid doing?"

"He was... burying the bodies of those children."

The little medical fairy replied in a deep voice. Feng Qing'er, who was standing beside him, was suddenly startled, with grief in her eyes. She clenched her fists unwillingly, and the vivid faces of the children at the last moment kept appearing in her mind.

Powerlessness is Feng Qing'er's most intuitive feeling at this time.

So what if they killed Old Demon and Mo Tianxing afterwards?
What cannot come back will never come back.

"Child? What child?"

Yunshan frowned, and the little medical fairy sighed slightly, telling everyone the reason for the incident.

After listening, everyone's expressions were a bit complicated and they didn't know what to say.

After listening to the little medical fairy's narration, their first reaction was that Xiao Yan was too sentimental.

They had seen this kind of thing so many times that it was not surprising at all.

In the struggle of the strong, the demise of the weak is simply not worth mentioning.

But soon, a question suddenly appeared in their hearts.

They have become accustomed to this kind of thing, is this really normal?

Obviously when they were still young, they would feel sad when their kind died in front of them, but they still had empathy at that time.

I don't know when they started to feel that this was nothing.

"Ha, I really don't know what to say." Hai Bodong sighed deeply, turned around and waved his hand, "Come back, that kid will be fine now anyway. I'm not good at healing this kind of psychological trauma. "

"That's right."

Yunshan nodded lightly. Some things cannot be solved by talking about them. Most of them must be experienced by oneself. Only with enough experience can one slowly digest them.

"I have returned to the Heavenly Snake Mansion to return my life to the Saint. Please take care of yourself."

Luman bowed his hands to everyone, turned around and left. Her Royal Highness the Saint must still be worried, so she hurried back to tell her that Xiao Yan was safe.

"Let's go too."

Yunshan turned his back to greet Ziyun, and Ziyun took out a purple crystal from her arms, which was exactly the same as the one Xiao Yan crushed before, and handed it to the little medical fairy.

"Give this to Xiao Yan later. Tell him not to bother me. If there is any danger, just crush it. I will come right away."

"Yes." The little medical fairy nodded lightly, accepted the amethyst and bowed her head to Ziyun to thank her, "Sister Ziyun, thank you."

Ziyun didn't reply, just waved her hand, and followed Yunshan and Haibodong to leave together, flying towards the Jiama Empire.

As for Ling Ying, she never came with him from the beginning and went back to Canaan College to report to her own lady.

Watching everyone leave, the little medical fairy turned her head slightly and looked at Feng Qing'er.

"Let's go too."

"Ah."

Feng Qing'er nodded, and the two of them came to Xiao Yan's side. At this time, Xiao Yan had buried each child safely in the soil, and used the sparse woods as material to set up a pedestal for each child. A simple wooden tombstone.

Without saying a word, the Little Medical Fairy and Feng Qing'er came to either side of Xiao Yan and knelt on the ground like Xiao Yan. They closed their eyes and clasped their hands together, worshiping the children sincerely.

After a while, the little medical fairy said in a low tone.

"Xiao Yan, this is not your fault."

The little medical fairy didn't know how to comfort Xiao Yan, but at least she hoped that Xiao Yan would not take all this on herself.

However, to her surprise, Xiao Yan replied softly.

"I know."

"Well?!"

The little medical fairy suddenly turned to look at Xiao Yan, staring into Xiao Yan's unfazed eyes with astonishment, listening to his next words.

"Without me, these children may die of hunger, illness, or various other reasons within this month."

"At least for this month, I have given these children a safe place to sleep, enough food to eat, and given them hope for the future."

"I know all these things in my heart."

Xiao Yan slowly opened his dark eyes, put his hands on the ground and crossed his kneeling legs, sitting on the ground with his body slightly hunched, staring at the children's tombstones.

"I was just wondering what on earth I should do to prevent this from happening again."

It’s not scary when hope disappears. What’s scary is not knowing how to continue moving towards hope.

Xiao Yan was previously self-righteous and believed that as long as children avoided those industries that were prone to disputes with the powerful, they would be able to survive safely in the Black Corner Territory. This was also the purpose of Xiao Yan's opening of the restaurant.

But now Xiao Yan realized that his idea was simply fanciful.

No matter how hard the weak try to run their lives, everything they own will be easily destroyed by the strong, without even a reason.

Just because the other party is strong, that's all.

"I promised Lu Qiong yesterday that when I come back from the auction house today, I will bring him and Lu Jing to pay homage to his sister." Xiao Yan's eyes dimmed and he smiled wryly at himself, "Now, I have not broken my promise."

The scene fell silent again.

I don't know how long it took, but a soft call came into Xiao Yan's ears.

"Little Yanzi."

Xiao Yan turned around and saw Yao Chen and Han Feng coming behind him. Xiao Yan reluctantly showed a smile and said.

"Senior Yao, have you reconciled with Senior Sister?"

"Um"

Yao Chen nodded lightly, Xiao Yan patted his knees and slowly stood up from the ground.

"In this case, the disciple's visit to the Black Angle Territory will not be in vain."

"."

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan, who was pretending to be strong, and didn't know what to say.

She knew that if Xiao Yan wanted to achieve his right path, Xiao Yan would encounter this kind of thing sooner or later. The difference was just sooner or later.

But actually seeing it made Yao Chen feel heartbroken.This child should not have been born into such a world.

If the world hadn't been like this, how could Xiao Yan's right path be so difficult?

Feng Qing'er also stood up from the ground and said softly to Xiao Yan and the Little Medical Fairy.

"Xiao Yan, little medical fairy, I have to leave too." Feng Qing'er caressed her chest and said, "I'm very happy to get to know you during this trip. I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Ah."

The little medical fairy nodded lightly, and Xiao Yan said softly.

"I have troubled you this month. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the children." Xiao Yan bowed his head deeply to Feng Qing'er, "The children will be very happy to have you with them during this month."

Looking at Xiao Yan who bowed his head deeply to her, Feng Qing'er watched quietly.

He immediately took two steps forward, spread out his arms and gently hugged Xiao Yan's neck. When Xiao Yan was stunned, he whispered into his ear.

"Xiao Yan, don't blame yourself too much. This is really not your fault."

"."

Xiao Yan's shoulders trembled, and Feng Qing'er also loosened her arms, and transformed into the body of the Sky Demon Phoenix soaring in mid-air under the gazes of the Little Medical Fairy and Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, little medical fairy, see you soon."

Feng Qing'er flapped her wings and flew farther and farther towards the blazing sun in the distance, until she was engulfed by the scorching sun and could no longer be seen.

After a long time, the little medical fairy looked at Xiao Yan and asked softly.

"Xiao Yan, where should we go next?"

Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, and finally breathed a deep sigh of relief and said softly.

"Go to Canaan College, it's not far from here." Xiao Yan turned to look in the direction of Canaan College, "Anyway, the Chinese New Year will be here in a while, so let's go back to the Xiao family with them."

they?

The little medical fairy was stunned. Before he could ask who they were, Han Feng suddenly spoke.

"I'll go with you too."

"Eh?" Xiao Yan paused for a moment and looked at Han Feng in astonishment, "Senior sister, you won't stay in the Black Corner Territory anymore?"

Xiao Yan has not forgotten that Han Feng is the Medicine King of the Black Corner Region, and there is such a big medicine city, so he is leaving now?
Han Feng naturally understood what Xiao Yan meant and said softly.

"Whether it's the name of Medicine King or the power of Medicine City, I established it just to find the teacher." Han Feng glanced at Yao Shen as he spoke, "Now that the teacher has been found, there is no reason for me to continue. You’re staying here, and the teacher’s resurrection will require manpower in the future, so I’d better follow you.”

"Resurrection?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yao Shen, "Speaking of which, my disciple has never asked what the conditions are for resurrecting you."

"The conditions are almost ready." Yao Chen chuckled softly and said: "The first is that we need three kinds of strange fires, your Qinglian Earth Core Fire, Feng'er's Sea Heart Flame, and our master's Bone Spirit Cold Fire. , this condition has been met.”

"The second is that we need the corpse of a strong Douzong master. The master's corpse has been kept by Feng'er, so this is no problem."

"The third one requires a drop of blood essence from a seventh-level monster. Don't worry about that."

Eh?
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of doubts, and then Yao Shen handed him the colorful sky-swallowing python that was sleeping soundly in his hand.

"Well, this is a serious seventh-level monster. Just ask her for it when the time comes. For your sake, I think she won't refuse to give it."

"Forehead"

Looking at the colorful sky-swallowing python in Yao Chen's hand, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and a memory that he had never experienced before suddenly appeared in his mind, but it was extremely clear.

It seems like my childhood self proposed to Queen Medusa?

This memory was so clear that Xiao Yan couldn't doubt it at all, but he shouldn't have seen Queen Medusa when he was a child?

The little medical fairy on the side saw something was wrong with Xiao Yan's face, frowned slightly and said worriedly.

"Xiao Yan, are you alright?"

"Huh? It's okay."

Xiao Yan came back to his senses, whispered perfunctorily, stretched out his hand to put the colorful sky-swallowing python into his arms, then was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yao Shen again.

"You said that the conditions are almost met, but these three conditions have been met, what is left?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's inquiry, Yao Chen raised one hand and stretched out his index finger and thumb.

"Eighth-grade elixir, bone-producing and blood-melting elixir."

"Eighth, eighth grade???"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Han Feng questioningly. Han Feng said coldly.

"I have prepared all the materials, but I can't make the eighth-grade elixir yet." Han Feng paused, then added: "To be more precise, I can barely make it, but I can't because I'm not strong enough. .”

I can barely do it, but I can't do it because I'm not strong enough?
Xiao Yan's mind is full of questions, what does this mean?What does strength have to do with refining medicine?

Yao Shen naturally saw Xiao Yan's doubts and explained.

"Elixirs of the seventh grade and above will attract elixirs when they are successfully refined. The higher the grade, the stronger the elixirs. The elixirs attracted by the elixirs of the eighth grade must be at least Dou Zun level to be able to block them. Stay." Yao Shen spread his hands helplessly, "So you have also seen that there are not even Dou Sects among us, let alone eighth-grade elixirs, unless we want to be chopped into pieces by the elixir. .”

"."

Xiao Yan's brows were trembling wildly. Yao Shen had never mentioned to him before that refining medicine was life-threatening.

Suddenly Xiao Yan thought of something and said.

"Senior Yao, don't you have a friend of Dou Zun? It's that Feng Zun."

"Ah, you're talking about that guy." Yao Chen looked bitter and waved his hand, "Forget it, we don't really want to see that guy now, otherwise we will be nagged again."

"But."

Xiao Yan frowned. This was a major event for resurrection. How could he not go to that Venerable Feng just because he was afraid of nagging?
"Okay, okay, as we said before, the reason why we want to be resurrected is just to figure out what happened back then. Whether we are resurrected or not is not important in itself." Yao Chen looked at Han Feng, with some relief in his eyes, "Now that Things have been clarified, and we are not so obsessed with resurrection."

Yao Chen changed the subject as he spoke, reaching out and tapping Xiao Yan's eyebrows.

"And the thing that worries us the most right now is you, kid. We don't dare to leave you casually. It would be more convenient for you to follow this soul body. Just let nature take its course."

"." Xiao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, and then said helplessly: "Since Senior Yao insists on doing this, the disciple has no choice but to comply."

"Hmm, the one you should be most concerned about now is not us, but your senior sister." Yao Chen reached out and patted Han Feng's head, "Feng'er's soul was already severely damaged when he forcibly handed the strange fire to you, and it just burned Her soul is very weak now, and her problem must be solved first, otherwise it will become permanent."

"For the sake of senior sister, the disciples will definitely do this!" Xiao Yan said solemnly, and then he cupped his hands to Han Feng and said: "Senior sister, if it is useful to come to junior brother's place, please feel free to tell me, junior brother will do his best."

"Sorry to trouble you." Han Feng nodded lightly and continued: "As a senior sister, I will give you a piece of advice first. I hope you can listen to it."

"Sister, please speak frankly. Junior brother will definitely take it to heart."

Xiao Yan responded with a serious face, and immediately Han Feng raised his finger and pointed at Yao Shen, and said coldly in Yao Shen's stunned eyes.

"In the future, try to listen to as little as possible what she says except for topics related to cultivation and refining medicine. Your character is hard-earned, so don't follow her bad example."

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, looking a little embarrassed, while Yao Shen stared at Han Feng dissatisfied.

"Is this the first piece of advice you and your junior brother gave you? Are you so miserable as a teacher???"

In response to Yao Shen's question, Han Feng nodded without hesitation.

"Yes."

Han Feng and Yao Chen looked at each other closely, with a smile on their lips, their eyes slightly narrowed, and they spoke frankly every word.

"Very, unbearable."
