Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 184 Alchemy

Gao Xingchen clenched his fists, and the anxiety in his eyes became more intense. Xiao Hei's condition was low, and the training effect was greatly reduced, which made him extremely anxious. Is he going to give up like this? No, never! He must find a way to help Xiao Hei overcome the difficulties!

"Master Xingchen, don't worry too much." Deacon Zheng's voice interrupted Gao Xingchen's thoughts, "I have collected detailed information about Prince Wang's pet according to your instructions."

Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the information handed over by Deacon Zheng. He knew that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Only by thoroughly understanding the opponent can you find a breakthrough and develop an effective training plan.

The information was very detailed, not only including the type, level, and skills of Prince Wang's pet, but also its previous battle records and even its eating habits. Gao Xingchen carefully read the information, constantly analyzing the opponent's strengths and weaknesses in his mind, looking for a breakthrough.

"Xiao Hei's speed is its advantage. We can work harder on this aspect." Gao Xingchen pointed to a line of data on the file and said to Deacon Zheng, "In addition, its defense ability is relatively weak, which is also something we can take advantage of."

Deacon Zheng nodded in agreement. "I have already arranged for it. Several new obstacle training facilities have been added to the training ground, which can effectively improve Xiao Hei's agility and reaction ability."

Gao Xingchen nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Deacon Zheng was a prudent person and would make sure everything was arranged properly.

At this time, a kind old lady walked into the Xingchen Pavilion. She had silver hair but was energetic, and her cloudy eyes were full of wisdom.

"Granny Wu, why are you here?" Gao Xingchen quickly stood up to greet her. Granny Wu was a famous spirit pet expert in the star field, with rich experience and high respect.

"I heard about Xiao Hei's story, so I came to see him." Granny Wu looked at Xiao Hei kindly, her eyes full of love. "Don't be discouraged, kid. You are very talented, but you just lack the right guidance."

Granny Wu walked over to Xiao Hei and gently stroked his head. A warm force flowed through Xiao Hei's body, making him feel extremely comfortable and at ease.

In the next few days, Granny Wu stayed in the Xingchen Pavilion. She taught Xiao Hei some ancient spiritual pet training methods and developed a tailor-made training plan based on Xiao Hei's characteristics.

Under the guidance of Granny Wu, Xiao Hei's training intensity was increased again. Every day, he had to do a lot of running, jumping, attacking and other training, and also learn various complex skills. Although the training process was very hard, Xiao Hei did not complain at all. He gritted his teeth and persisted, because he knew that only by becoming stronger can he protect his master and win respect.

With the joint efforts of Gao Xingchen, Deacon Zheng and Granny Wu, Xiao Hei's strength has made a qualitative leap. Its already agile speed has now become even more swift, like a black lightning, making it difficult to catch. The ancient spiritual pet cultivation method taught by Granny Wu has allowed Xiao Hei to master some advanced skills, greatly improving its attack and defense capabilities.

Watching Xiao Hei sweating on the training ground, Gao Xingchen showed a gratified smile on his face. He knew that Xiao Hei had gradually walked out of the shadows, and it was becoming stronger and stronger. One day, it would become the most dazzling star in the star field! Xiao Hei had indeed undergone earth-shaking changes under the careful guidance of Granny Wu. Its originally agile figure was now even more agile, shuttling between obstacles like a black lightning, difficult to catch. The ancient spiritual pet cultivation method taught by Granny Wu allowed Xiao Hei to master some advanced combat skills, with fierce attacks, solid defense, and even some simple spells.

Watching Xiao Hei sweating on the training ground, Gao Xingchen was filled with joy and expectation as he saw his progress. However, he knew that this was far from enough. Prince Wang's spiritual pet was very powerful, far beyond the reach of ordinary spiritual pets. If Xiao Hei wanted to defeat it, he would need to work harder.

"Granny Wu, how big a gap is there between Xiao Hei's current strength and Young Master Wang's pet?" Gao Xingchen found Granny Wu who was sipping tea and asked seriously.

Granny Wu put down the teacup in her hand, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Xiao Hei has a high talent and is improving quickly, but Prince Wang's pet is a rare species after all, with excellent bloodline, and has been carefully cultivated for many years, so its strength should not be underestimated. With Xiao Hei's current strength, it may be difficult for him to defeat it."

Gao Xingchen frowned slightly. He knew that Granny Wu's evaluation was very pertinent. It seemed that if he wanted to defeat Prince Wang, relying solely on traditional training methods was not enough. He had to find another way.

A thought flashed through Gao Xingchen's mind: refining the elixir!

He had seen in ancient books that some special elixirs could not only improve the strength of practitioners, but also stimulate the potential of pets, allowing their strength to grow by leaps and bounds. If such an elixir could be refined, it might help Xiao Hei break through the bottleneck in a short period of time and reach a level that could compete with Prince Wang's pet.

Thinking of this, Gao Xingchen immediately took action. He flipped through a large number of ancient books, looking for records about refining spirit pet elixirs. He also asked Granny Wu for a lot of knowledge about spirit herbs and materials, as well as the details that need to be paid attention to during the elixir refining process.

After a period of preparation, Gao Xingchen finally found a formula for a medicine called "Xingchen Pill". This medicine is said to be able to stimulate the hidden blood power in the body of spirit pets, greatly improving their strength.

Gao Xingchen was so excited that he immediately began to prepare the various materials needed to refine the "Xingchen Pill". However, when he saw the last item on the list of materials, his face suddenly turned ugly.

It was a rare spiritual herb called "Starfall Grass", which grew in the extremely dangerous Starfall Land and was inaccessible to ordinary people. Starfall Grass, a spiritual herb that was said to grow in the core area of the Starfall Land, absorbed the essence of falling stars and possessed incredible power. However, the Starfall Land was full of dangers, with ferocious beasts roaming and space turbulence raging. Even powerful practitioners did not dare to set foot there easily.

"It seems that in order to refine the Star Pill, I must go to the Land of Falling Stars." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination.

In order to improve Xiao Hei's combat experience as quickly as possible, Gao Xingchen also asked Coach Qin to arrange some powerful pets to train Xiao Hei in combat. Coach Qin was a little hesitant at first, worried that Xiao Hei would get hurt, but under Gao Xingchen's insistence, he finally agreed to his request.

The actual combat training was extremely cruel. Xiao Hei had to face various powerful opponents almost every day, and injuries were commonplace. Gao Xingchen felt distressed every time he saw Xiao Hei coming back with bruises all over his body, but he knew that only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire could Xiao Hei truly grow up.

The process of refining the Star Pill was not smooth, and Gao Xingchen experienced failure again and again. He was distressed that precious medicinal materials were wasted, but he did not give up. Instead, he worked harder to study the art of alchemy, adjusting the formula and the temperature again and again.

"Star Pill, give it to me!"

Finally, on a dark and windy night, a pill the size of a longan, emitting faint starlight, slowly rose from Gao Xingchen's alchemy furnace.

Gao Xingchen was overjoyed. He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He carefully took out the Xingchen Pill and fed it to Xiao Hei.

After taking the Star Pill, Xiao Hei's body underwent a huge change. His originally pitch-black hair was now faintly glowing with starlight, and his already agile figure became even more agile and powerful. A powerful aura emanated from Xiao Hei, filling the entire room.

Gao Xingchen could clearly feel that Xiao Hei's strength and speed had reached an unprecedented level.

The next day, Gao Xingchen brought Xiao Hei to the training ground.

"Coach Qin, please arrange a powerful spiritual pet. I want to test Xiao Hei's strength." Gao Xingchen said to Coach Qin.

Coach Qin nodded and arranged a peak level three armored bear as Xiao Hei's opponent.

The Iron Bear has thick skin and flesh and amazing defense. Xiao Hei had been defeated every time he fought against it before.

However, this time, Xiao Hei showed amazing strength. His body was as fast as lightning, and he kept moving around the Iron Bear, leaving scars on the Iron Bear with his sharp claws.

Although the Iron Bear has amazing defense, its speed is far inferior to Xiao Hei and it can only passively take the beating.

Finally, under Xiao Hei's violent attack, the Iron Bear fell to the ground and lost its ability to fight.

"Good!" Gao Xingchen couldn't help but cheer loudly, his face full of excitement.

Coach Qin also looked at Xiao Hei in shock. He never expected that Xiao Hei's strength had improved so much in just one night!

"It seems that our previous efforts have not been in vain." Gao Xingchen looked at Xiao Hei, his eyes full of relief.

However, just when Xiao Hei's special training achieved some initial results, a powerful aura suddenly descended over the training ground.

"Who dares to act wildly in my territory?!"

A cold voice, as if coming from the Netherworld, made people shudder.

Gao Xingchen's heart trembled, and when he looked up, he saw a figure in a black robe and a ghost mask on his face slowly descending from the sky.

"Fire Cloud Evil God!"

Coach Qin exclaimed, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.

"Fire Cloud Evil God?!" Gao Xingchen's heart was shocked, he was not unfamiliar with this name. In the Nine Star Realm, the Fire Cloud Evil God was notorious. He practiced evil skills and was bloodthirsty. There was no telling how many practitioners had died tragically at his hands.

"Are you Gao Xingchen?" The voice of Huoyun Evil God was hoarse and harsh, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of his throat, making people feel very uncomfortable listening to it.

"It's me." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. The Fire Cloud Evil God in front of him had unfathomable strength and was definitely not something he could contend with now.

"I heard that you have cultivated a spiritual pet with extraordinary talents, so I came here today to see it." Fire Cloud Evil God said, his eyes fell on Xiao Hei, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Hei felt the dangerous aura emanating from the Fire Cloud Evil God. All the hair on his body stood up and he let out a low roar, trying to give himself courage.

“Humph, you are quite courageous despite your young age.” Fire Cloud Evil God sneered, “But I will definitely take this pet of yours!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Cloud Evil God flashed, turned into a black shadow, and pounced towards Xiao Hei.

"Xiao Hei, be careful!" Gao Xingchen was horrified when he saw this and quickly reminded him.

Xiao Hei also knew how powerful the opponent was, so he didn't dare to be careless and quickly dodged.

"boom!"

The Fire Cloud Evil God slapped the ground with his palm, and the earth shook instantly. A huge palm print appeared on the ground.

Although Xiao Hei avoided the fatal blow, he was still hit by the palm wind, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"So powerful!" Gao Xingchen's heart sank. This Fire Cloud Evil God was indeed worthy of his reputation. His strength was far beyond his imagination.

"Xiao Hei, run!" Gao Xingchen knew that with Xiao Hei's current strength, he could not be a match for the Fire Cloud Evil God. His only hope was to escape before the Fire Cloud Evil God could react.

Xiao Hei also understood what Gao Xingchen meant and turned around and wanted to escape.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Fire Cloud Evil God sneered, his figure flashed again, blocking Xiao Hei's way.

"Boy, I advise you to surrender obediently, so as to avoid physical pain!" Huoyun Evil God looked at Gao Xingchen coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Gao Xingchen knew that it would be impossible to escape unscathed today, but he would never sit and wait for death, nor would he let Xiao Hei fall into the hands of the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"If you want to hurt Xiao Hei, you'll have to step over my dead body!" A trace of determination flashed in Gao Xingchen's eyes. He knew that he was no match for the Fire Cloud Evil God, but he would not give up any hope.

“You are overestimating yourself!” The Fire Cloud Evil God sneered, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. For him, the mighty Fire Cloud Evil God, it should be easy for him to deal with a small spiritual pet, right?

However, just as Huoyun Evil God was about to attack Xiao Hei, he suddenly felt a strange force interfering with the operation of his magic power.

"What's going on?" Huoyun Evil God frowned slightly, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in his heart.
