[Battle Through The Heaven]

[Episode 21]

Brother Xiao Yan, I have a question for you.

Ask away.

If I had never gone to the Xiao Family,

and if you had never known me,

who would be by your side now?

We grew up together. Why are there so many what-ifs?

I want you to think about it and answer me seriously.

Okay.

Her Highness is my comrade-in-arms.

Zi Yan is my younger sister.

Little Fairy Doctor is my best friend.

Liking is another thing.

But liking is for one person.

Isn't it a mutual pleasure to like each other?

Is liking for one person?

Brother Xiao Yan.

What if Little Fairy Doctor also likes you?

Little Fairy Doctor?

A girl's eyes can't deceive anyone.

I can feel...

that Little Fairy Doctor cares about you.

Xun'er.

I wanted to get angry.

I'm angry at myself for not being there for you every minute of every day.

I know she is a very trustworthy partner.

And I know that love is involuntary,

uncontrollable, and can't be forced.

I never thought about that.

All I know is that ever since my father left,

I wondered about the meaning of being a Fighting Practitioner...

until I met Little Fairy Doctor.

It was only when I saw her being bullied and being used by Han Feng

that I truly understood that I became a Fighting Practitioner

not just to prove myself,

but to protect all those who were bullied by the strong.

It's what I should do and what I have to do.

A truly strong person

should give back freedom to everyone on the Douqi Continent.

This is the true meaning of being powerful.

I didn't expect that you would be so good at preaching.

Well.

Did you mean everything you said back in Black Flame Village?

Of course.

Let me ask you.

If I go back to the Gu Clan and my father never lets me out again,

how will you convince him?

No matter how many principles I have, I can't compare to your father. No matter how great I am, I can't compare to your father.

Then you'll never see me again.

I'll do everything I can to get it from him.

[Subsidiary Hall of Hall of Souls]

I know you must have entrusted Xiao Yan to Feng Xian.

Feng Xian will definitely take good care of your beloved disciple for you.

Teach him Fighting Techniques, help him to participate in the Pill Meeting,

and conquer the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Right?

You don't have to waste your time.

You can't harm Xiao Yan.

You think you can help him out by leaving him

the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and Flame Mantra?

Yao Chen, you have no idea.

I also gave him a great gift.

I planted Magic Poison Spot on him.

Flame Mantra? Bone Spirit Cold Flame?

As long as Xiao Yan dares to utilize the power of the Heavenly Flames,

he will draw fire to himself and bring about his own demise.

Mu Gu!

Yao Chen,

you are the one who is about to kill Xiao Yan.

[Pill Realm]

There are quite a few people here for the Pill Meeting.

- Profound Xuan Sect. - Yes. - Come in, please.

- The best of the best. - That's what makes it a challenge.

- Eagle Valley. - Okay, please come in.

Starfall Hall from Central Plains.

Please.

Here.

Sword Sect.

What's up?

Further along is the Pill Realm.

Pill Tower is a mecca for alchemists from all over the Central Plains.

That's why we have to be careful in this operation.

Especially if anything happens to you,

not only will it damage Master's reputation,

but it will also make all the alchemists in the entire Central Plains laugh at us.

- Understand? - Yes.

Stop.

What happened?

Yes.

Show me what you've got on you. I have to check.

Deep Black Sect came here after receiving the call for heroes from the Pill Tower.

Is this how the Pill Tower treats the gusts?

The Pill Tower has its own rules.

What is going on?

He is Qiu Ling, First Disciple of Xuan Kongzi.

Normally he is in charge of the daily affairs of the sect.

He seems to be the law enforcement disciple for this Pill Meeting.

What is this?

What is this?

I didn't expect that those of Pill Tower were so ignorant

that they even asked me about the Energy-replenishing Powder.

If it is Energy-replenishing Powder, eat it in front of me.

You!

Bring it up here.

What's this?

If you don't want me to embarrass you in public,

you better just admit it.

What's wrong with him?

This is Taixuan Void Energy,

a special Fighting Technique from the Pill Tower that specializes in suppressing Fighting Energy.

This is the unique Nourishing Powder of the Deep Black Sect.

This item can elevate the efficacy of a Grade 6 elixir to that of a Grade 8 elixir,

which is a fierce medicine.

The Pill Tower has long ago listed this as a prohibited item.

It was an oversight on my part. I didn't mean it.

Please make an exception.

Listen carefully.

The rules of the Pill Tower

are that no one may carry prohibited objects,

fight privately, or violate the rules of the Pill Tower during the Pill Meeting.

Violators will be disqualified,

their alchemist grade lowered,

and never be allowed to set foot in the Pill Realm.

Qiu Ling is a tough guy.

Master.

Everyone!

Today, on the occasion of this grand event,

I, Xuan Kongzi, on behalf of the Pill Tower,

am here to welcome all of my fellow alchemists from the Central Plains.

It coincides with the imminent eruption of the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

This year's Pill Meeting is different from the past.

The Pill Tower has issued a call for heroes

in the hopes of recruiting talents without restraint.

Regardless of your origins, as long as you are able

to make it into the top ten at this year's Pill Meeting,

you will have the opportunity to take in the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

This competition

is divided into two rounds of competitions, pill-picking and pill-refining.

My disciples will distribute to each of you a pouch

containing a map of Pill Tower's treasure, Myriad Medicine Mountain,

for you to use in the first round of the competition.

Thank you.

Didn't you say there are three heads of the Pill Tower?

Why are there only two?

The elder next to Elder Xuan Kongzi is Elder Tian Leizi.

Another elder is Elder Xuanyi.

The Three Thousand Burning Flame has always been guarded by her.

But it's a pity that during the battle in the Central Plains

to eliminate the Hall of Souls

fifty years ago, Elder Xuanyi died after exhausting her Fighting Energy to protect the Pill Realm.

One can't avoid his enemy. What's wrong with Starfall Hall?

You're like a shadow.

I see you everywhere I go.

Look who's talking.

It's the little witch from Wind Thunder Hall.

Make it clear. Who is a shadow?

Someone is relying on the eldest brother of Starfall Hall for everything.

Who is the little witch?

Xiao Yan, who are you calling a shadow of Starfall Hall?

- I am talking about you. - You!

Friendship first, and competition second.

- I have no friendship with the Starfall Hall. - Competition second.

No, no, no!

No, no, no!

Don't talk too much.

The first round of the contest is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m.

You will enter Myriad Medicine Mountain

to collect medicinal herbs with the map in your pouch.

Arrive at the square before noon to gather,

and the Pill Tower elders will assess the grade of the herbs.

Those who cannot assemble on time

or the herbs they pick do not reach the grade

will be eliminated.

I hope that you will live up

to what you have learned during the Pill Meeting

and seek the honor that an alchemist deserves.

- Okay. - Okay.

What's the best elixir to make for tomorrow's Pill Meeting?

The higher the grade, the better.

Should I use the Dragon Grass?

Leave it till tomorrow.

- Mu Qingluan. - Let's discuss it later tonight.

You're paying more attention to a lover than friends.

Go.

Qing'er. Qing'er, listen to me.

Xiao Yan definitely didn't mean that.

He just...

Eldest Brother of Starfall Hall,

please take a good look.

This is the room of a little witch from Wind Thunder Hall.

If you go any further, people will see you pestering me,

dishonoring the Starfall Hall.

I can't afford this.

Qing'er, I know you came to this Pill Meeting to win.

I can help you. I can help.

Help me? Why?

Others will say I depend on you for everything.

I don't want it.

Qing'er, kust forget about them.

That has nothing to do with us. Right?

I just can't take this.

Mu Qingluan, we'll live our own lives from now on.

This time I just want to beat you squarely.

- Wait, Qing'er. - What are you talking about? Go now.

Go.

Over the years, many of our old friends have left.

There were three heads of the Pill Tower,

and now only you and Tian Leizi are left.

I don't want to recall the past.

Elder Xuanyi left during the fight against the Hall of Souls.

Like Yao Chen, she was...

There have always been legends that the Three Thousand Burning Flame

was once owned by the Ancient Dragon Tribe of Taixu.

So, it is not possible to subdue this flame without a Dragon Seal.

The Pill Tower has sealed the Three Thousand Burning Flame for so many years.

I would like to ask if this claim is true.

What is the dragon seal?

Feng Xian,

you really didn't come here late at night to catch up.

I can only tell you that the dragon seal

is just a rumor, and it's nowhere to be found.

Even I have never seen it.

You don't have to waste your time.

It's not that Starfall Hall wants the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Did you know that the Hall of Souls has resurfaced?

The rise of the Hall of Souls in the Central Plains is no longer a secret.

What is your plan?

You returned to your room at twilight today,

and went out at 7:00 in the evening,

first meeting your First Disciple, and then meeting Xiao Yan alone.

You bugged him about something and then came to me.

You're checking on me?

Everyone.

If the Hall of Souls was about to wait for an opportunity to take action,

he would inevitably come to the Pill Meeting.

I will have to inquire about anyone,

including, of course, the disciples of your Starfall Hall,

especially Xiao Yan of unknown origin.

So you suspect him.

Xiao Yan's origin is more mysterious than all these disciples.

What origin deserves so much of your favor?

Xiao Yan will never be compelled and used by the Hall of Souls.

Feng Xian, I have to remind you

that the two traitors who defected to the Hall of Souls, Mu Gu and Han Feng,

both have ties to Starfall Hall.

I don't need to say any more.

Tomorrow, we'll each watch our own people.

Okay.

[Myriad Medicine Mountain]

Senior Brother Mu, look.

This is the Green Infernal Vine Beard.

Let's go further. Maybe we can find better herbs.

Did you find anything?

I found nothing.

But Little Fairy Doctor found a Green Infernal Vine Beard.

Look, only an Orchid Piece.

It's in good condition. Keep it.

Who lost this?

- It is the hairpin of Qing'er. - What happened?

Something's up. Qing'er!

- Qing'er! - This...

He just said he's not worried. Now he is running away.

Qing'er. Qing'er.

Qing'er.

Qing'er.

Qing'er, how are you? Are you injured?

Are you okay, Qing'er?

It is me, Qing'er. Mu Qingluan.

Don't come over.

Don't come over.

Look at me. I am Mu Qingluan.

- Leave. Don't come over. - Don't you know me?

- I am Mu Qingluan. - Go away. Go away.

I am Mu Qingluan.

Are you okay, Qing'er? Did you just have a nightmare?

Mu Qingluan.

Where have you been? I don't know what just happened.

I was so scared.

Don't be afraid. It's okay.

I miss you so much,

Xun'er.

This... This...

What happened?

You were fascinated by the phantom butterfly.

Phantom butterfly?

It can cause hallucinations.

After being confused, you'll be stuck here forever.

This place is not marked on the map.

Perhaps this is a deliberate test by the Pill Tower.

Thanks for restraining the phantom butterfly just now.

Go. Let's get out of here.

This time, we can make it.

Qiu Ling from the Pill Tower is granted a promotion.

Good. All the herbs are of grade 6 or above.

And this.

You even found this?

The two of you are granted a promotion.

What are you so proud of?

Xiao Yan, why isn't Brother Mu back yet?

The same for Feng Qing'er.

They are back.

You are granted a promotion.

Mu Qingluan, we've made the cut.

Luckily, we made it.

The meeting starts tomorrow.

I don't want any mistakes.

Remember the people and staff I want.

He was invited to come to the Pill Tower for the Pill Meeting.

Take care of it yourself.

Don't worry.

I won't make trouble for myself.

Isn't this the room for the disciples of the Deep Black Sect?

This...

What's wrong with him?

This is Taixuan Void Energy,

a special Fighting Technique from the Pill Tower that specializes in suppressing Fighting Energy.

Qiu Ling.

Bad news! Bad news!

- What is going on? - What happened?

- Easy. - No one's taking it from you.

Tell me what's going on.

Come here.

When I went out,

I saw the back of a man dressed in white

that looked like Qiu Ling.

He was furtively pushing something forward.

I followed him.

I found him pushing a man into the room of the disciples of the Deep Black Sect.

I was worried that there was something wrong.

I waited for him to leave

and found that the person was a disciple of the Deep Black Sect.

And he is dead.

The fatal wound is the strangulation mark on the neck.

This is a strangulation mark made by Taixuan Void Energy.

So you suspect that this man in white is Qiu Ling,

and that he used the Pill Tower's unique Taixuan Void Energy to kill the disciple of the Deep Black Sect?

Yes.

Then let's... Let's report this to Wind Sage.

What's up?

It's him. Go.

Let's follow him.

- Go. - Okay.

He disappeared.

Does he have some special technique?

The wind is from inside the wall.

There is a secret door.

- Watch out! - Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan!

What should we do?

Let Master know.

You still don't believe me?

Take a good look.

This is what you want. I've already given it to you.

After that, it's up to you to deliver on your promises.

A final reminder.

Follow our plan and do what you have to do.

We each get what we want.

Why does it have to be him?
