Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

The power of this sword energy could easily incinerate a Grand Master of Battle Qi Armor into ashes. Even a Dou Ling would not be able to withstand it, and a Dou Wang might be able to block it.

Judging from Zhang Yuan's appearance, it didn't take much effort.

"Cousin, what is this? A low-rank combat skill?!"

Xiao Yan approached Zhang Yuan, gazing at him expectantly with undisguised fervor in his eyes.

The Xuanzhong Ruler is his, and fire is his innate attribute. If you add that cool fire attribute fighting technique...

Invincible!

“If it were a Earth-rank skill, it wouldn’t be this weak.” Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, “This is a mid-level Profound-rank combat skill, Crimson Flame Sword Qi.”

"Mid-level Profound Rank!?" Xiao Yan looked at him with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

He possessed a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill. Although he couldn't unleash much of its power due to his low cultivation level, he knew just how powerful a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill was.

A mid-level Xuan-rank fighting technique is definitely not as good as a high-level Xuan-rank technique. Even if Zhang Yuan is a one-star Dou Ling, he shouldn't be this strong when using a low-level fighting technique, right?

"It's the intermediate level of the Profound Rank."

Seeing the crowd gathering around, Zhang Yuan tossed the Xuan Heavy Ruler to Xiao Yan and said, "This Xuan Heavy Ruler is now a high-grade sixth-rank battle weapon."

"Huh?" Xiao Yan was dumbfounded again.

The old doctor said that this Xuanzhong Ruler was made with seventh-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures. According to the classification standards of the Dou Qi Continent, it should be a seventh-grade Dou weapon. How did it become a sixth-grade one?

“I have improved the effects of this weapon.” Zhang Yuan explained without changing his expression: “Originally, this Xuanzhong Ruler was only heavy and made of special materials. It could restrict the speed of your internal battle qi circulation and bring a great sense of pressure to your body, thereby tempering your speed of circulating battle qi and your physical strength.”

"Now, this situation will be five times more frequent, but it won't happen directly. Instead, you will adjust it yourself by injecting your battle qi."

"In this way, you don't have to face too much pressure right away, damaging your own foundation and leaving hidden wounds. Instead, you can choose a level that is relatively close to your limit."

"When you become stronger in the future, you can adjust the degree of this restriction through battle qi, so that the training effect of the Xuan Heavy Ruler will not weaken as your strength increases."

At this point, Zhang Yuan paused, then continued, "What I just mentioned was that the auxiliary cultivation function has been improved, and secondly, this weapon can enhance combat power."

"It has been refined by me, and a sixth-order fire attribute magic core has been added."

"Use this Xuanzhong Ruler to perform fire-attribute combat techniques."

"The power can be amplified up to tenfold." (Depending on the power of the fighting technique itself, the user's own strength will decrease; the stronger the user, the smaller the amplification will be.)

A tenfold increase?

Horror!

Everyone, including Yao Lao and Xun'er, was deeply shocked.

They'd never heard of a weapon having such an effect!

Xiao Yan swallowed hard and said, "This is good, cousin, I want to learn this."

"Teach me, you can teach me, right?"

The old medicine doctor: "."

Chapter 90: Meeting the Three Women - Xiao Yan's Subtle and Charming Demeanor! Everyone Makes Rapid Progress

"."

The old doctor's gaze was distant, and he subconsciously clenched his fist.

What a wonderful first disciple! Is it not enough for me, the number one alchemist on the continent, to satisfy you?

Or is it that you only have your good cousin in your heart, and that everything your cousin does is right and everything your cousin does is good?

He admitted that Zhang Yuan's weapon-refining technique was quite impressive, and the current effect of the Xuanzhong Ruler was truly amazing.

If all weapon refiners refine weapons this way, then they might truly establish their own noble lineage in the future.

But that's all in the future, and it's full of uncertainties.

"Becoming an alchemist isn't enough for you?" the old apothecary said with a playful look in his eyes.

“It’s not that I can’t satisfy you, nor is it that being an alchemist is bad, but becoming a weapon refiner is more cost-effective.” Xiao Yan answered logically, “Teacher, things are valued for their rarity.”

"Alchemists are certainly very powerful, that's a well-known fact on the Dou Qi Continent. But no matter how powerful or rare alchemists are, they are not unique."

"If we can't reach an agreement with you, we can find someone else as long as we're willing to pay the price."

"But weapon refiners are different. This is my cousin's original creation, and Scorpion Poop is unique. This means a monopoly!"

When the word "monopoly" was mentioned, Xiao Yan licked his lips.

He understood in his past life that nothing in this world is more profitable than a monopoly.

This applies to intellectual property, petroleum, and medical fields, among others.

Weapon refiners may not be more noble than alchemists, but they are certainly rarer.

Once the unique nature of the fighting weapon Zhang Yuan is practicing becomes known, the entire Dou Qi Continent will go crazy.

At that time, Xiao Yan will follow in his cousin's footsteps and become a pioneer.

The old medicine doctor: "."

You know what, there's actually a grain of truth to what Xiao Yanzi said.

Now he's even interested in studying this weapon-refining method; who wouldn't want to be the founder of such a lineage?

He's already earned the title of "Number One Alchemist on the Continent." If he were to become the progenitor of weapon refiners and then make a high-profile comeback...

"Little Yanzi, don't even think about it." Zhang Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "My weapon-refining method is an improvement and creation based on the existing weapon-refining method and the Four Dragons Thunderfire. It requires the power of thunder and the power of fire. I named it the Thunderfire Weapon-Refining Method. If you want to learn it, you'll have to find a strange fire with both thunder and fire attributes in the future."

Zhang Yuan told a small lie.

The best method for refining weapons using lightning and fire is indeed the combination of lightning and fire power, but it is also possible to start with lightning and fire separately, which is even more advanced than the general weapon refining method. If there is enough opportunity in the future, one can specialize in the lightning and fire weapon refining method.

However, he does not intend to teach Xiao Yan now. This is not because he is stingy or covetous, but simply because he is considering Xiao Yan's future.

This guy will become the ancestor of fire-playing, and his alchemy skills will be famous throughout the world, attracting even the Heavenly Sovereigns. This shows how high his talent and achievements are.

Following him to cultivate weapon crafting techniques now might seem like a waste of talent, but it's not necessarily a good thing. Moreover, alchemists are the mainstream in the Dou Qi Continent, and they are better able to cultivate and win over people, helping to build a power.

In contrast, weapons are external forces, and their target audience is somewhat different. They need to first find ways to make a name for themselves and attract attention before they can become something people pursue and even flock to.

This amount of time is enough for Xiao Yan to go very far on the path of alchemy.

Once I'm strong enough, I can work part-time as a weapon refiner.

"Alright, until I obtain a different kind of fire with the lightning and fire attributes, I'd better focus on learning alchemy." Xiao Yan said with some disappointment.

He really wanted to hang out with his cousin; it would make him look good in the future.

He'd already thought of a nickname: "Thunder and Fire Ancestor," the progenitor of weapon refiners. Thunder was Zhang Yuan, and fire was Xiao Yan.

Unfortunately, I'm not qualified.

The old medicine doctor: "."

Yes, it's a shame you're not used to practicing medicine with me. You'll have to wait for extra training, Little Yanzi.

"But this sixth-tier battle weapon is really powerful." Xiao Yan waved the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

As Zhang Yuan said, as long as you inject battle qi, you can easily lift it up and adjust the efficiency of the battle qi limit. If you use this on your opponent in battle, they will definitely suffer if they are not prepared.

Not to mention, it can also increase the power of the fighting techniques you use. Perhaps even a normal attack infused with fighting spirit can rival a Yellow-rank fighting technique. But it would be best if you learned some fire-attribute fighting techniques that are suitable for the Xuanzhong Ruler.

Seemingly seeing through Xiao Yan's thoughts, Zhang Yuan smiled and reminded him, "Little Yan, while the Xuan Heavy Ruler can certainly increase the power of your fighting techniques, don't use it recklessly. You're still just a Dou Zhe, and your techniques are still just techniques."

Zhang Yuan didn't finish his sentence, but Xiao Yan understood.

If we compare battle qi to gunpowder, cultivation techniques are the extraction and propulsion mechanisms, and battle skills are the means of output. Using powerful battle skills is like upgrading from a musket to a cannon. Now, using battle weapons is like replacing a cannon with a rocket launcher, making the power even more astonishing.

However, his cultivation level is very low, which means that his "gunpowder" reserves are insufficient, his cultivation technique is only at the low level of the Yellow Rank, which means that his speed of cultivation is not fast enough, and the quality of his "gunpowder" is also not good.

Recklessly firing shots can easily drain you dry; this should only be used as a last resort.

"Don't worry, cousin, I know." Xiao Yan nodded solemnly.

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything more, but looked at Xun'er and the other two girls and smiled, "Have you come to have breakfast with me?"

"Yes, it was made by Little Fairy Doctor herself." Qing Yanjing nodded with a smile.

Zhang Yuan's smile froze, and he said, "Everyone has their own expertise. I think Little Fairy Doctor is more suited to be a pharmacist. It's better if Sister Jing does the cooking."

"What, you don't want to eat what I made?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile.

But Zhang Yuan felt a strange pressure; this was a crucial question.

"Pfft~"

Suddenly, all three women laughed.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan realized that he had been deceived.

"You guys..."

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly. What could he do with the woman he had won over? Spoil her, of course.

Xiao Yan was playing with the Xuan Heavy Ruler with great affection, refusing to give it to Yao Lao even when he asked for it. Suddenly, he heard the laughter of the three women, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

My cousin was very helpful in finding his wife; I didn't need to do anything.

However, Xun'er got along very well with Qing Yanjing and Xiao Yixian, which made him feel bored.

Where's the promised chaotic scene?

But now, he's come up with a good idea.

"Cousin, thank you." Xiao Yan said earnestly, "This should be the first sixth-grade battle weapon you have refined. You have worked so hard. I will cherish it and fight with it to conquer all directions, so as not to tarnish your reputation."

Xiao Yan spoke with such "deep affection," but Zhang Yuan smelled a hint of tea.

What are these phrases like "the first one," "you've worked hard," "cherish it," and "don't disgrace your cousin's name"?

If you know him, you're just a little cousin following him around; if you don't, you're still a little cousin following him around.

"My dear brother Yan, you really know how to cause me trouble."

Feeling the subtle gazes of Xun'er and the other two girls, Zhang Yuan was speechless.

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, and used the merits he had accumulated over the years to exchange for materials that could be used for refining weapons with the royal family.

The materials needed for crafting weapons and those needed for making pills rarely overlap; they are mostly ores, iron ore, meteorite iron, or even magical beast teeth, leather armor, and so on.
