Chapter 100 Temple
It has to be said that a top-grade medicine cauldron can bring considerable benefits to alchemists. It can perfectly isolate the high temperature inside the cauldron, and even the energy shock during the synthesis process of the elixir can be perfectly removed, so that alchemists from outside will not be disturbed and can devote themselves wholeheartedly to alchemy.
"Om~"
As a visible purple energy ripple spread out, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire secret room, vibrating in circles.
When Ling'er saw this scene, she immediately circled around the Black Magic Cauldron happily. It was obvious that she was quite interested in the elixir inside.
"Whoosh~"
As Yao Yan opened the Black Magic Cauldron, a deep purple pill floated out and was caught steadily by Yao Yan. This pill was the Amethyst Solid Source Pill that he had previously refined for the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It was a pill that could barely be classified as a sixth-grade pill. Its greatest function was to increase the efficacy of the accompanying Amethyst Source to the highest level, which could make up for the source consumed by Queen Medusa to a certain extent.
"It is of excellent quality, and the time it takes to refine the elixir has been greatly reduced. It is worthy of being the Black Demon Cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron List, and its reputation is well-deserved."
Yao Yan looked at the pill in his hand, commented on it, and then put the pill into the medicine bottle. He lowered his head to look at Ling'er who was pulling at his clothes, reached out to rub her head, and took out a bottle of plant essence from the ring and handed it to her.
As for the pills, it would be a waste to give them to Ling'er, and he would not make the same mistake.
Ling'er, who had obtained the essence of plants, ran to the side happily and started drinking from the bottle. She was a typical little foodie. Her big furry ears drooped lazily on both sides of her head, and her tail wagged lazily.
Yao Yan took a look at this little foodie, then sat cross-legged for a while to regulate his breathing and recover his lost Dou Qi and soul power. With his current Dou Qi, it was still a bit difficult for him to refine the Purple Crystal Solidifying Source Pill. Only when he truly entered the Dou Ling level would he be able to refine the sixth-grade pill with ease.
Of course, this is also related to Yao Yan's talent. If it were other people, at the Dou Ling level, they would not have the same level of Dou Qi as him. And this is because his Burning Decree is at the advanced Yellow Rank. Once he is promoted to the Xuan Rank, his Dou Qi will obviously continue to soar.
Unless someone can practice earth-level skills at the Dou Ling level, he may be able to reach his level.
However, the higher the level of the martial arts, the more demanding the training conditions. Not everyone can possess such physical talent. Most practitioners in the world will only choose the Yellow and Black levels.
"Continue to make the elixir!"
Yao Yan glanced at the companion purple crystal source in the ring and decided to refine most of it into purple crystal solidifying source pills. Compared to directly swallowing the companion purple crystal source raw, the purple crystal solidifying source pills were obviously more suitable for humans, and he could also use it to polish the surging fighting spirit in his body.
For alchemists, the best practice is to make pills again and again.
Every time one refines an elixir, it is a refined application of one's own fighting spirit and soul power. People with weak fighting spirit cannot refine high-quality elixirs.
……
It obviously took Yao Yan a long time to refine the elixir this time. It took more than a month before the tightly closed stone door slowly opened, which immediately attracted Hai Bodong's attention. He had been guarding here all this time and did not go to other places in the snake people's palace. After all, this was the territory of the snake people, and it was always better to be careful.
Yao Yan, looking a little tired, slowly walked out of the secret room holding Ling'er. Seeing that only Hai Bodong was there, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Where is Caidie?"
"She was taken into custody by the guards of the Snake People. When the old men of the Snake People learned that she had returned to the Snake People, they had a big fight with Queen Medusa. I don't know the final outcome of the negotiations, but Caidie has temporarily lost her freedom, and I will continue to guard here."
Hai Bodong explained the matter clearly in a few words, and at the same time gave Yao Yan a helpless expression.
These matters are internal affairs of the Snake People, and it is obviously not appropriate for him as an outsider to interfere.
Besides, Yaoyan also needs someone to look after him.
As an old hand in the world, he would naturally choose to wait for Yao Yan to come out of seclusion. As long as Yao Yan came out and refined the elixir, many problems would be solved. Those old guys of the Snake People were not unreasonable guys. As long as the benefits were sufficient, there was nothing in this world that could not be discussed.
Yao Yan nodded and looked outside. He had already sensed the breath of Queen Medusa. This was the secret room where she was in seclusion. When the stone door was opened, she would naturally be able to sense it.
A moment later, the enchanting and charming figure of Queen Medusa appeared in Yao Yan's sight. She looked at Yao Yan with cold eyes and a bit of solemnity. She opened her red lips slightly and said hurriedly: "Have you prepared the elixir you promised?"
Yao Yan did not speak, but directly threw a bottle of pills over. After the other party caught it, he introduced it: "Amethyst Solidifying Source Pill, a sixth-grade pill, contains two pills in total, which is enough to restore your lost source, and the excess medicinal power can even nourish your body. As for the other pills, I will send them to you after our agreement is completed."
When Queen Medusa heard this, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly. She opened the medicine bottle and took a look at the pill inside. A faint scent of medicine wafted into her nose. With just one sip, the feeling of emptiness in her body was instantly eliminated a lot, which made her no longer doubt Yao Yan's words.
She put the pill away, then looked at Yao Yan and said in a deep voice: "Those old guys want to see you. If you really want to take Caidie away, you need to persuade them yourself."
Speaking of Caidie, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, because this name was given by the man in front of her to her sister, and her sister loved this name very much, and even pestered her to give herself a name, something like Cailin, which made Queen Medusa extremely helpless.
Facing her own sister, she couldn't refuse and finally had to agree.
"Okay, I just want to ask those old guys if they have problems with their brains."
Yao Yan nodded and said with a smile, he didn't know much about the rules of the snake people, but isn't it a good thing that there are two Medusa queens in this generation? Why force one to kill the other? It's really hard to understand. Could it be that the snake people also have so-called power struggles? But hasn't the fantasy world always emphasized strength?
Looking at Queen Medusa who has not yet broken through to the Dou Zong realm, he had some guesses in his mind.
Hai Bodong came up to him and whispered, "I'll go with you?"
"This is the temple of the snake people. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Queen Medusa glanced at Hai Bodong, and her tender voice was filled with a hint of indifference. She gave face to Yao Yan because of his talent and background. As for Hai Bodong, she obviously looked down on him and even regarded him as Yao Yan's 'slave'.
Isn't it Yao Yan? !
Hai Bodong objected in his heart, but thinking of the relationship between Yao Yan and Cai Die, he could only remain silent.
"The Purple Crystal Solidifying Source Pill should also work for you. You can give it a try."
Yao Yan took out a purple crystal solid source pill and handed it over, smiling and saying that this pill was modified from Mi Ben's solid source pill, which was originally a pill for strengthening the foundation and improving aptitude. It was effective for anyone, but the difference was the strength of the effect, so it was okay to let Hai Bodong try it. As for Hai Bodong, he also wanted to train him. The other party's talent was not bad, and his character was also very good. What he lacked was just opportunity, and Yao Yan obviously had all of these.
Hai Bodong was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at Queen Medusa. Wasn't this pill made for her?
Yao Yan saw Hai Bodong's confusion and explained, "Its main function is to improve aptitude, but the effect varies from person to person. Queen Medusa suffered from the loss of her essence, and the main ingredient of this pill just happens to be compatible with her and can make up for her lost essence."
Hai Bodong was a little surprised when he heard that. He didn't ask any more questions, but just bowed solemnly to Yao Yan, as if he was giving his life to Yao Yan.
A sixth-grade elixir that can improve one's aptitude is enough for a Douhuang to fight for his life.
Queen Medusa glanced at this lucky guy, then looked at Yao Yan and urged him, "Let's go. With your talent as an alchemist, those old guys won't make it too difficult for you."
She knew the nature of those old guys very well: they were conservative, greedy, and bullying the weak...
Yao Yan nodded. He was not worried at all that the other party would embarrass him. He was not a fool who would not fight back when being bullied. If those old guys did not know the seriousness of the situation, he would not mind helping Queen Medusa to reshape the rules of the snake people. With two Medusa queens and Hai Bodong, plus himself, it should not be a problem to defeat the four elders of the snake people.
Hai Bodong watched the two of them leave and looked at the snake guards guarding the gate again. He sat down cross-legged, swallowed the Purple Crystal Solidifying Pill given to him by Yao Yan, and began to refine the medicinal power.
As a warm medicinal power swept through his body, the cells in his body seemed to be cheering, the dry land was irrigated, and an extremely comfortable feeling emerged. At the same time, the speed of his fighting spirit circulation began to accelerate, and it circulated more and more smoothly. Many shackles were swept away.
Just like a ditch is penetrated by a flood, the stains inside are washed away.
……
Hai Bodong was experiencing the magic of the Purple Crystal Source-Securing Pill, while Yao Yan was admiring his sister-in-law's slender waist. Compared to the colorful butterfly snake tail, Queen Medusa's snake tail was obviously sexier. After all, the purple one was more charming. Men always have a special liking for black and purple.
Purple girls are always charming...
"If you don't want your eyes anymore, I can remove them for you."
Queen Medusa could naturally sense Yao Yan's bold gaze, and her eyes turned cold. She glared at her fiercely and threatened.
Yao Yan was obviously very thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He said confidently: "Everyone loves beauty. Your Majesty the Queen is so beautiful, it's understandable that I am attracted to her."
As he spoke, he seemed to think what he said made sense and he couldn't help but nodded.
"...If I had known you were this kind of person, I would never have let you take my sister away no matter what."
Queen Medusa's breath was held, and then she spoke with a somewhat angry tone.
"What kind of person am I?"
Yao Yan became curious when he heard this and asked. He really wanted to know what Queen Medusa thought of him when she saw him for the first time.
Queen Medusa did not speak, but twisted her waist more seductively and moved forward faster. She did not want to continue this boring topic with Yao Yan because it was too late to say anything now. If she had known earlier... If she had known earlier, what troubles would there be in this world?
Seeing Queen Medusa who was unwilling to say more, Yao Yan did not continue to pester her. He followed her calmly, admiring her beauty.
Hua She'er, who was following behind the two of them, had a strange look in her eyes. It was the first time she saw Her Majesty the Queen suppress her inner emotions. In the past, she did whatever she wanted and was extremely overbearing. She even dared to confront the four elders of the snake tribe.
However, when I thought about the relationship between the human in front of me and the other queen, I couldn't help but understand it a little.
The few of them soon arrived at the temple of the snake people.
A huge palace deep underground, with gorgeous interior decoration and magnificent gold and jade. There are many carvings of snake monsters printed in it. A huge snake head overlooks the entire underground palace. There are also many formations for protection inside. They turn into barriers to protect the palace.
Formation... When Yao Yan saw this thing, his heart moved slightly. In fact, the research on formations in the Douqi Continent is not low. In the original novel, Emperor Hun Tian sacrificed blood to the entire Zhongzhou, and what he performed was a huge formation, which took nearly a thousand years.
There are also many formations within the Medicine Clan, but very few people specialize in them. Most of them are owned by a clan or a force, and individuals rarely touch them.
However, Yao Yan knew very well that in the vast universe, formations were the mainstream, and even a profession was born for it: the spirit formation master.
Yao Yan had a plan in mind. He knew that it was not reliable to major in this thing in the Douqi Continent. After all, the Douqi Continent did not have the inheritance of spiritual formation masters. Simple formations were not as powerful as Douqi, and most of them required strong people to preside over them. However, there was no problem in involving one or two.
If there is a chance to control the blood sacrifice formation in Zhongzhou in the future... it seems to be very compatible with Yao Yan's Soul-Devouring Clan bloodline.
Unfortunately, this matter is against the will of Heaven and is not suitable for him to do. It would be perfect if Emperor Hun Tian finished the job and he collected the benefits. Villains have always liked to provide convenience to the protagonists in this way, bear all the consequences and give out all the benefits.
Just as he was daydreaming, a tall palace came into view. At the same time, on the high platform, sat four powerful snakemen with strong auras. They each wore an ancient mask and looked like they were performing ancient sacrifices.
Obviously these four are the four elders of the snake people.
"Are you the human alchemist who took the traitor away?!"
Before Yao Yan could open his mouth, an elder of the snake tribe who was the leader stood up and questioned him. His eyes were serious and cold, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not the kind of snake man who was easy to get along with.
Such a bad attitude?!
Yao Yan raised his eyebrows and was about to say something, but Queen Medusa on the side stood up for Yao Yan and snorted coldly: "He is my guest, you better watch your attitude!"
