Battle Through The Heavens Book 1

Chapter 172 The Alchemist Grand Meeting

Staring intently at the white jade box in front of him, excitement surfaced on Xiao Yan's face. His hand trembled slightly as he reached forward, intending to hold that small jade bottle in his hand.

Looking at Xiao Yan's action, a mocking glint flashed across the muddy eyes of Gu Te who was seated opposite him.

Just as Xiao Yan touched the small jade bottle, his heart abruptly tightened. He found that the spot on his hand that came into contact with felt a coldness that pierced his bone. In the blink of an eye, his palm was covered with a layer of thin ice. In addition, the ice swiftly spread up Xiao Yan's arm.

The unexpected change caused Xiao Yan's expression to change slightly. An idea struck him and threads of purple colored Dou Qi in his body quickly passed through a few QI Paths and finally flowed to his arm. Instantly, a faint purple colored flame rose from Xiao Yan's arm and came to a brief stalemate with the icy air before gradually melting it.

His arm shook slightly and threw off the water stains on it. Xiao Yan's hand was covered in a pale purple colored flame as he once again grabbed the small jade bottle. This time round, he lifted it up without any change in his expression.

Beside him, Gu Te watched the Purple Flame that burnt and soared on Xiao Yan's hand. A surprised expression flashed across his face as he cried out involuntarily, "'Heavenly Flame'? No..." After feeling the strength of the Purple Flame, Gu Te shook his head slightly. He looked intently at the young man in front of him and softly said in his heart, "What a guy. I was actually mistaken. This guy is not someone simple."

Ignoring Gu Te's gaze, Xiao Yan focused on carefully studying the small jade bottle in his hand that was continuously releasing icy cold air. He carefully opened the bottle cap and revealed half a bottle of cream white liquid. On top of the liquid, one could faintly see some ice-like things. Xiao Yan gently inhaled a breath of cold air from the bottle. Instantly, his body violently shivered. The Purple Flame Dou Qi in his body circulated for a moment before it forced the thread of icy air out from his head.

Xiao Yan extended his hand and touched the top of his head. He was stunned to find that a thin layer of ice crystals had formed on it. He immediately smacked his lips together. This 'Ice Spirit Cold Fountain' was indeed a rare unique treasure. No wonder one must have its help when swallowing a 'Heavenly Flame'. From the trend of his thoughts, Xiao Yan could also vaguely feel just how frightening the strength of a 'Heavenly Flame' was... it actually required a few different types of unique things to work together in order to raise the success rate by a little...

Xiao Yan cautiously studied the 'Ice Spirit Cold Fountain' for a long while. Only when Yao Lao confirmed it in his heart did Xiao Yan hurriedly place it back into the white jade box.

"You have already obtained what you want. Leave if you having nothing else..." Painfully watching the 'Ice Spirit Cold Fountain' being stored by Xiao Yan in his storage ring, Gu Te's face twitched as he waved his hand in an attempt to chase him out.

Having obtained what he needed most, Xiao Yan sighed with relief in his heart. He cupped his hands together and shook it at Gu Te. With a smile, he said, "Grandmaster, thank you for your help. If I have any opportunity in the future, I will definitely come here to exchange with you."

"Hmm hmm. Come find me when you are able to take out some ingredients. Otherwise, the old me will not see anyone." Smacking his mouth, Gu Te rudely said.

"Of course. If I am not able to take something out, I will not dare to come and disturb you." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded before glancing all around the room. He randomly asked, "Grandmaster Gu Te. Do you happen to have a rank three monster core with you? If you have..."
