Regarding pills, many original pills would be added, and some overly bugged pills would be adjusted.
For example, the Dou Spirit Pill was originally a Grade 6 Pill, but the setting later seemed to have been changed to a Rank 5 Peak Pill. I would patch that here: the lower limit of the Dou Spirit Pill, meaning one of rather poor quality, would be Rank 5 Peak.
One of ordinary quality would be a Grade 6 Pill. Its lower limit would be Rank 5 Peak, while its upper limit would be Grade 6.
Some pills suitable for Dou Zongs and Dou Zuns would also be added, with effects similar to the Imperial Origin Pill.
For instance, the Grade 7 Intermediate Pill, the Zong Yuan Pill, could raise a Dou Zong's cultivation by one star. Its excess medicinal power could also strengthen their Spatial Comprehension, laying a foundation for their future breakthrough to Dou Zun.
The Rank 7 Peak Pill, the Primal Chaos Barrier Breaking Pill. The name might sound a little ridiculous, but there was a Primal Chaos Bone-Shaping Pill among Grade 6 Pills.
The Primal Chaos Barrier Breaking Pill was for peak Dou Ancestor experts. It could increase their chances of breaking through to Dou Zun; simply put, it was a Dou Zun-Breaking Pill.
The Grade 8 Pill, the Purple-Green Supreme Pill, was an Eighth Grade two-colored pill used to raise a Dou Zun's cultivation by one star. It was not very effective for Seven Star Dou Venerates and above, and it was useless to Transformed Realm Dou Venerates.
The Grade 8 Pill, the Gangfeng Supreme Pill, ranged from Eighth Grade two-colored to five-colored. It was suitable for Wind Attribute Dou Zuns. The first dose could raise a Wind Attribute Dou Zun's cultivation by one to two stars, while the effects of a second dose would be reduced. However, when used for cultivation, it could greatly increase cultivation speed.
There would also be Ninth Grade Treasure Pills, Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills, Rank 9 Golden Pills, and so on. Those would be discussed later.
Then there was the matter of age. Since ages had not been written in much detail in Battle Through the Heavens, they would be something of a bug.
The ages here had been worked backward from Xiao Yan's participation in the Alchemist Tournament. Gu He had participated in the tournament before the previous one, and his age had nearly exceeded the limit. Since the age limit for the Alchemist Tournament was thirty, Gu He should have been close to thirty.
Xiao Li was a few months younger than Gu He.
Then Xiao Zhan was two years younger than the male lead, though he was Xiao Zhan's uncle by seniority.
Yun Yun's age had been set rather high. According to the Alchemist Tournament timeline, around the eve of the Three-Year Agreement when Xiao Yan was eighteen, Yun Yun would be forty-three here.
Yun Yun's age might be a little high, but the plot required it. In any case, Yun Yun and Xiao Li were the same age, so it was not much of an issue. It had nothing to do with Xiao Yan.
And to clarify, since Yun Yun was the female lead, she would receive an epic-level power-up. It might be somewhat outrageous, but it would be perfectly reasonable on the Dou Qi Continent, because her fortuitous opportunities were truly beyond question.
As for the age settings for Xiao Zhan's sons and the younger generation of the Xiao Clan, they would be based on the period of Xiao Yan's Three-Year Agreement.
Xiao Yan was eighteen, Xiao Xun'er seventeen, Xiao Li twenty-two, Xiao Ding twenty-four, Xiao Ning twenty, and Xiao Yu twenty-two. Xiao Yu was a few months younger than Xiao Li.
That was roughly how it would be set. Since the male lead was a member of the Xiao Clan and also an Alchemist, the Xiao Clan was destined to grow stronger. As he became stronger himself, he would strengthen the clan as well.
For figures like Xiao Ting and Xiao Lin, even relying only on a Mysterious Rank Intermediate Cultivation Method, they could reach Dou Wang. With sufficient resources, further advancement was possible. In any case, the Xiao Clan would not be like it originally was, with no powerful experts besides Xiao Yan.
Then the male lead, Xiao Li, had his own path of cultivation. He would not cultivate the Flame Mantra, but his cultivation would always remain ahead of Xiao Yan's. Even if Xiao Yan's cheats became absurdly overpowered, Xiao Li would still remain ahead.
Only near the end would Xiao Yan catch up to Xiao Li. There was no need to worry about suppressing levels; if anything, I was afraid they might become too high.
