Chapter 99 Want it all

Yao Yan followed Queen Medusa into the underground treasury, and what came into view was a basement comparable to an ice cellar. Cold mist continuously dissipated from the pool in the center. The spring water in that pool emitting cold air was actually the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, which was rarely seen in the outside world. A rough calculation showed that it was nearly a hundred cubic meters.

In addition, this treasure house filled with cold air also stores a large number of medicinal materials, all of which are well preserved because of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Really? !

When Yao Yan saw the pool of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He now understood why the Snake People chose this place as their base, because there was a spring of Ice Spirit Cold Spring underground, which could continuously produce precious natural treasures such as Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Not only can this item resist the power of strange fire, but the pure ice energy it contains is also an excellent cultivation resource for the snake people.

However, for Yao Yan, its greatest effect is to help him refine the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. With such a huge number of Ice Spirit Cold Springs, he feels that his biggest problem in refining the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire has been solved. At the same time, he can't help but marvel at the wonders of the creation of heaven and earth.

The climate in the Tagor Desert is hot and the resources are scarce. Apart from fire energy, there is almost nothing else. The monsters and fierce beasts in it are also extremely ferocious. People without some strength dare not even set foot in it.

It is precisely this kind of place that gave birth to the two rare treasures of nature: the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Sensing Yao Yan's gaze, Queen Medusa's enchanting eyes moved slightly, her red lips slightly opened, and her voice was soft and tender: "You want it?"

"Ice Spirit Cold Spring is a must-have option for swallowing strange fire. It can resist the burning of the human meridians by the strange fire. If I have it, my chances of refining the strange fire will be much greater."

Yao Yan nodded and said very sincerely.

He was even being a little modest when he said this. With such a large amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, he could completely immerse his whole body in it and slowly refine and devour the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

In the words of Li Yunlong: I have never fought such a prosperous battle.

The Ice Spirit Cold Spring may not be very effective against the high-ranking and peculiar-attributed strange fires, but it has perfect properties to restrain the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and can reduce the destructive power of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire to a minimum, coupled with the vitality provided by Yao Yan's own physique and the bloodline of the Spirit Clan's Dou Emperor.

The biggest problem for him with the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire seemed to have been solved.

Queen Medusa was obviously very generous to her 'own people' and did not stingy with them. She even negotiated with Yao Yan and said lightly: "Go and take as much as you want, just don't destroy the spring."

"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you."

Yao Yan was also very familiar and nodded in response, while looking at the other medicinal herbs.

Caidie seemed to have little interest in the materials in the treasure house. She swam closely beside Yaoyan, looking at him from time to time with her soft peach blossom eyes. Then she looked at Queen Medusa. Watching the two of them walking side by side, she inexplicably had the illusion that she was an outsider, and she couldn't help but pout.

Yao Yan noticed Caidie's little emotion, reached out and held her soft little hand, and in front of her sister, he chuckled and said, "We are a family."

When Caidie heard this, her mood disappeared immediately. Her beautiful face turned slightly red, as if stained with a layer of red clouds. She twisted her waist embarrassedly, and the frequency of her dark blue tail seemed to increase a lot. At the same time, she held Ling'er's arms more and more tightly, as if she wanted to bury her in her arms.

Ling'er: o(╥﹏╥)o
Queen Medusa frowned, her eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced to the side unnaturally, pretending to be calm and said, "I don't agree with your matter."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yan looked at Caidie helplessly.

Caidie gave Yaoyan a playful look, then she came to Queen Medusa with Ling'er in her arms, put her arms around Queen Medusa's arm, and said with a smile, "Whatever my sister says is what it is!"

Queen Medusa looked at her playful sister and felt more and more helpless. She knew her sister's character. Although she looked gentle on the outside, once she made up her mind about something, even she, as her elder sister, could not stop her. Therefore, she seemed to be able to only pay lip service to her sister's relationship with Yao Yan.

But when I think about what will happen to these two people in the future... When I think about what happened before, I suddenly feel confused.

"You actually have longevity fruit here?"

Yao Yan was suddenly attracted by a bunch of purple fruits that looked like grapes. He strode over and said in surprise.

The Longevity Fruit is the main ingredient of an eighth-grade elixir, which can be used to refine an eighth-grade elixir that can extend one's life by a hundred years. He had seen this item in the herb family's atlas before. Just based on its value, if it were in Zhongzhou, it would be enough to easily exchange for a seventh-grade elixir, or even some auxiliary eighth-grade elixirs.

Because even if this thing is eaten raw, it can increase your lifespan by several years or even decades, and it can also nourish your body and vitality.

Queen Medusa heard this and followed Yao Yan's gaze. She glanced at Yao Yan and said slowly, "Immortal Fruit? I don't know. It originally grew near the Bingling Cold Spring and was placed here after it matured. No one has recognized it over the years."

What a waste of resources… Yao Yan commented in his heart. He finally understood why there were so few strong people in the northwest region. It was not only because of the resources of heaven and earth, but also because of the vision of the people here. No matter how precious the items were placed in front of them, they might not recognize them. This cognitive gap made them not know how to use the treasure even if they had it.

If this longevity fruit alone were taken to Zhongzhou for auction, the materials it would exchange for would be enough to create several Dou Zong-level warriors for the Snake People.

Unfortunately, knowledge is monopolized, and no one will impart knowledge to others for no reason. Especially for pharmacists, the records of prescriptions and medicinal materials are the most precious resources within the clan. It is difficult for people from outside to obtain such a systematic inheritance as that of the medicine clan.

This is also one of the reasons why the medicine clan has been able to be passed down to this day.

If Yao Yan had not been born into the Yao clan, he would not have been able to recognize this level of natural treasure at a glance. Divine objects are naturally hidden, and many precious medicinal materials are quite ordinary in appearance, or even have restrained appearances, making it impossible to see their true appearance.

"It can be used to refine a longevity pill, which is extremely precious."

Yao Yan made a comment without much change in his eyes. Longevity might be extremely precious to the elderly, but to a young boy, the elixir that increases longevity is not very attractive. However, this thing is quite precious, and it would be a waste to keep it in the snake tribe.

"I want this thing too. I can refine a few more Imperial Pills for the Snake People."

Queen Medusa was not stupid. She saw how much Yao Yan valued the longevity fruit and naturally knew its value to Yao Yan. She asked, "Don't you have any pills that can increase your lifespan?"

"Do you need it? If you need it, I can refine it for you."

Yao Yan kicked the ball over and asked softly.

Queen Medusa shook her head slightly, her cold eyes with a hint of calmness, and said slowly: "Of course, this king does not need it, but if you want to convince those old immortals to admit your relationship, it may be easier with a few longevity pills."

"Then the Po Zong Dan is even more attractive. Breaking through from Dou Huang to Dou Zong will increase your lifespan by a lot."

Yao Yan said with a smile. Compared to Dou Huang, Dou Zong's life span will be greatly increased. At this stage, the self and Dou Qi will be more in harmony, and the body will undergo a great transformation. In essence, the body has gradually left the scope of the human body and evolved into a more advanced life form.

The life span of a Douhuang is only two to three hundred years. Some may even have their life span drastically reduced due to injuries, and there are many who live less than two hundred years. However, it is different for a Douzong. Their life span is at least four hundred years and above, and their body functions are much stronger. Even if their heart is broken, they can remain immortal for a short period of time, which is something a Douhuang cannot do.

Dou Zun is further enhanced.

As for the Fighting Saint, he has already reached the level of a saint, so losing a heart won’t have much impact.

"Those old guys don't have this talent."

Queen Medusa said in a firm tone that she didn't want to see a few old immortals breaking through to the Dou Zong level and continuing to stand on her head and show off their power. A few old immortals stayed in the cemetery all day and wanted to give orders to the snake people.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yan instantly understood what she meant. He nodded slightly and said no more.

Queen Medusa stared at Yao Yan and continued, "What are the clues related to the strange fire you mentioned before? Is it related to the incomplete map?"

"I have roughly some clues. Once Hai Bodong retrieves the remaining map, I should be able to completely determine the whereabouts of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire."

Yaoyan talked nonsense in a serious manner.

Thanks to a group of people from the Gama Empire who didn't know the value of the picture and had no idea of ​​the difference between the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, it was not difficult to deceive them. Otherwise, if Queen Medusa knew that the incomplete picture was related to the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which ranked third on the Strange Fire List, she might have raised the price.

Queen Medusa is not a naive person. Even if she is love-brained, it will only be useful if you can get into the depths of her soul.

Everyone is still in the "acquaintance" stage, so Yaoyan will naturally not be foolish enough to tell everything.

"The Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire ranked nineteenth on the Strange Fire List... are you sure about it?"

Queen Medusa muttered, then looked Yao Yan up and down, and said with great suspicion that a little guy whose fighting spirit was only at the 'Fighting Spirit' level actually wanted to subdue the strange fire, a violent flame born from heaven and earth. It seemed like a joke no matter how you looked at it.

She even suspected that Yao Yan couldn't even get close to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, and it would be useless even if she was given the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Strange fire.

The weight of these two words alone is enough to crush someone.

Even Queen Medusa, who possessed the peak strength of a nine-star Douhuang, did not think that she could subdue the strange fire, a rare treasure of heaven and earth. She even felt that if she really faced this kind of strange fire, she would most likely be burned to ashes by it. After all, if she wanted to refine the strange fire, the first thing she needed to do was to take out the origin of the strange fire and then swallow it into her stomach.

This step is enough to kill most people in the world, and those who are not strong enough can't even come close.

What is the basis for Yao Yan's level of fighting spirit?
"I will refine a few pills to assist you. I think I have a 90% chance of success."

Yao Yan smiled slightly and gave Queen Medusa an extremely confident answer.

Looking at the confident smile on Yao Yan's face, Queen Medusa remained silent and did not choose to speak again. She even had some secret thoughts in her mind: If Yao Yan failed to refine the strange fire, then she would not have to worry about him and her sister.

However, this thought was fleeting. She felt that if something really happened to Yaoyan, her sister would be heartbroken.

This was obviously not what she wanted to see.

This is also what troubles Queen Medusa the most.

……

Not long after they came out of the treasure house, Hai Bodong and Mobas returned. At the same time, Hai Bodong handed a fragment of the map to Yao Yan. It was one of the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. Ling'er didn't even need to identify it. It was of the same style and very easy to recognize.

Now only the last piece is missing... Yao Yan put away the remaining map, suppressed his excitement, looked at the people present, and said softly: "It will take me some time to refine the elixir. During this time, I'll trouble you to help watch over it. If the elders of the snake people have any objections to the return of the colorful butterfly, Her Majesty the Queen should know how to respond."

His eyes met the cold and beautiful eyes of Queen Medusa, and there was an inexplicable collision of souls.

To put it in a more literary way: love at first sight.

To put it more crudely: being tempted by beauty.

Medusa obviously didn't have much feeling for Yao Yan. She had never been obsessed with looks, and had no feelings for Yao Yan's looks. Her eyes were still cold, and her voice was still gentle enough to make people's bones numb: "This king knows how to say it. You don't need to be distracted. As long as you can refine the elixir you promised, our agreement can continue. If you fail..."

"That's not possible."

Yao Yan smiled and walked towards the secret room at the side. As for Hai Bodong, he would be responsible for guarding the door until Yao Yan came out. Caidie was left behind by Queen Medusa, as he was a little worried that Yao Yan would do something to his sister again. At such a close distance, the sensation would undoubtedly be stronger, and he would even feel as if he were there.

When Queen Medusa thought of that scene, she felt an indescribable awkwardness.

Ling'er followed Yaoyan. She was not very interested in Caidie and knew who provided her with food and clothing.

soon.

Yao Yan came to the center of the secret room and raised his hand to take out a pitch-black medicine cauldron, which was the Black Demon Cauldron ranked eighth on the Tianding List.

The dark-black body of the cauldron is sturdy, with a calm aura lingering all over its body. A lifelike fire totem is painted on its surface. As it rotates slowly, the fire totem on it actually feels like a real object. Invisibly, the fire energy from the surrounding is gathering towards it.

"Good medicine cauldron!"

Yao Yan couldn't help but let out a cry of admiration. Compared to the medicine cauldron he had used before, the one in front of him was the one that a pharmacist should really use. He rubbed his hands, then couldn't wait to light the cauldron with the phantom golden fire and started to make the elixir.
