Breaking the Masked Man

Yao Yan looked at Cai Lin and said with a smile, without needing the other party to say anything. He himself was also a little eager to see how much his alchemy skills had improved. He felt that he might be able to try refining seventh-grade pills, but before that, he could refine a few sixth-grade pills to practice.

Once his cultivation is stable, he plans to go to the Black Corner Region to talk to Han Feng and Elder Yao!

He's determined to have both the Sea Heart Flame and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!

Then came the Fallen Heart Flame and the Void Devouring Flame that Soul Void Child had promised him!

Think of this.

He almost wanted to let out a "heh heh."

Chapter 110 Very angry

The palace of the Serpent People, a hot spring.

Yao Yan leaned against the edge of the hot spring, most of his body submerged in the water. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment before slowly raising his palm. With a slight thought, a cluster of azure flames emerged from his palm. It was the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame that he had recently devoured with the Burning Technique. However, compared to its previous violent state, it was now as still as a virgin, emitting no heat whatsoever.

As the fighting spirit circulated within his body, the cluster of flames in his palm rapidly rose to a visible height, instantly transforming into a delicate and beautiful blue lotus, which slowly rotated in his palm, with a faint golden halo flowing over it.

With his current spiritual power, he could naturally perceive the difference between the flame in his hand and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. The faint golden halo was clearly the nature of the Illusionary Gold Flame. Thanks to the devouring effect of the Burning Technique, the Illusionary Gold Flame did not completely dissipate because of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but instead merged into it.

However, the slight enhancement from the Illusionary Gold Flame is negligible compared to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

"Wow~"

Yao Yan looked at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in his palm, his gaze shifting slightly. Instantly, the slowly rotating Azure Lotus trembled, transforming back into the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Illusionary Golden Flame. The two flames were clearly distinct, but under his control of his battle qi, they merged together, as if each contained the other.

"In this vast world, Xiao Yan gathered myriad flames to condense the Emperor Flame. Perhaps beast flames are not useless, it's just that the beast flames on the Dou Qi Continent are of too low a level..."

Looking at the two clusters of flames in his palm, he pondered that only by truly cultivating the Burning Technique and devouring flames through it could he understand its power. Not only could it evolve its level by devouring flames, but it could also inherit the attributes and abilities of the flames it devoured.

This is the part that truly makes it unsolvable.

It can continuously elevate the talent of cultivators, and as long as they do not perish along the way, they will surely be able to reach the ranks of the strongest.

Thought for a moment.

Yao Yan then composed himself. It was too far off for him to consider these things now. Instead, he should try to destroy the Fire Lotus. With that thought, he raised his palms and separated the two clusters of flames. He controlled their power and, when their energies reached the same level, he slammed the two flames together.

"Bang~"

The moment the two came into contact, even with the suppression of the spiritual soul power, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame unleashed an extremely strong destructive force, instantly annihilating most of the Illusionary Golden Flame. The violent fire attribute energy directly blasted the hot spring water into splashes everywhere.

Fortunately, Yao Yan didn't have much fighting spirit, and the aftershocks of the explosion quickly dissipated under the suppression of his soul power, without causing any damage to the hot spring pool.

Not to mention alerting the guards outside.

"The level of the Golden Flame is too low."

Yao Yan instantly found the reason. He condensed two flames in his palms again, but this time, the energy of the Illusionary Gold Flame was increased several times. Then he controlled the two flames to merge in front of him again. This time, the two did not explode immediately, but instead rubbed violently against each other in his palms.

Flames are inherently extremely violent energy, not to mention that there is a kind of flame called the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, a rare flame born from heaven and earth.

The destructive force generated by the fusion of the two constantly tore at Yao Yan's palm, but this force obviously had no effect on Yao Yan's physical body. Relying on his strong physical body, he recklessly increased the energy level of the Illusionary Gold Flame, maintaining a relatively balanced state between the Illusionary Gold Flame and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

"Give it to me!"

As Yao Yan sensed the increasingly violent energy between the two flames, he hardened his heart and slammed the two flames together again. At the same time, he frantically suppressed them with his soul power, and actually managed to condense a golden-blue energy ball full of destructive power. However, compared to the perfect fire lotus condensed by Xiao Yan in the original work, the energy ball he condensed was like an unstable bomb wrapped in powerful soul power.

He had no doubt that as long as he dispersed his soul power, it would explode and destroy everything around it!

It seems that relying on luck won't work... Yao Yan thought to himself, and could only slowly dissipate it. Then he condensed two flames again and continued to try. It wasn't that he had no fighting techniques to learn, but rather that this fighting technique invented by Xiao Yan was most suitable for practitioners of the Burning Technique. Its power would increase exponentially with the increase of the strange fire.

Even among Dou Sheng (Battle Saints), it is an extremely powerful fighting technique.

It would be incredibly foolish not to learn this fighting technique that surpasses even the Heavenly Rank.

……

Half an hour later.

Yao Yan walked out of the bathroom. At this moment, he looked tired. Trying to destroy the Fire Lotus was obviously too mentally taxing. Even with his spiritual power, he could not easily condense it. The closest he came to success was only to condense a rough shape. Then, due to unstable energy, he almost blew himself up.

The most crucial aspect of this Fire Lotus Fighting Technique is balancing the two types of flames. Flames are never a stable form of energy; even slight changes can trigger a violent explosion.

However, he was confident that as long as he kept trying, he would eventually be able to grasp the secrets of this fighting technique.

"Son~"

Hua She'er stood at the door, looking at Yao Yan with gentle eyes, and bowed respectfully. After spending these days together, she had basically come to believe that Yao Yan was the son-in-law of the snake people. His strength and talent were indeed impressive, and she dared not be arrogant in front of him.

Golden-red curly hair, gentle eyes, dashing makeup, perfect figure... every woman of the snake-people tribe seems to be a natural beauty.

Yao Yan couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He suddenly understood why humans liked to capture snake women. Compared to human slaves, snake women, as unique female slaves, were obviously more likely to attract the attention of some old lechers. However, he only stayed for a moment before shifting his gaze elsewhere.

Appreciation is fine, but staring at someone for too long seems a bit perverted.

Moreover, in terms of beauty, the two sisters, Cai Die and Cai Die, are clearly better than Hua She'er in both appearance and temperament.

However, the rising heat in his lower abdomen gave him a headache. He found that after consuming the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, his own internal heat was a bit too strong. The aftereffects of consuming strange flames using the Burning Technique were obviously more serious than those of beast fire. Fortunately, this time he had only consumed a low-ranking strange flame like the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, and he also had the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to assist him. If he had consumed those high-ranking strange flames...

At this moment, Yao Yan couldn't help but think about the future.

Plan ahead.

To become a strong person, you must observe, think, and prepare more. You can't rely on luck for everything; no one can survive on luck forever.

Hua She'er could naturally sense Yao Yan's lingering gaze, but she wasn't shy. As a mature older sister, she knew where her charm lay. If she could keep Yao Yan, this genius alchemist, completely within the Snake-People race, what did her personal sacrifice matter?

However, Yao Yan seemed to be very good at restraining himself, which did not surprise Hua She'er. She asked softly, "Is Young Master going to see Her Majesty the Queen?"

"Take me to the butterfly's place."

Yao Yan planned to bring Ling'er back. The little one had been with Cai Die for some time now, and he wanted to see if he was still attractive to Ling'er. According to the principle of mutual devouring of different flames, Ling'er, as a flame of life, couldn't possibly be uninterested in the origin of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

The flower snake nodded slightly, then twisted its plump, upturned buttocks and turned to swim forward.

After a while.

Yao Yan found Cai Die in a secluded palace. At that moment, the silly girl was lying on a soft couch teasing Ling'er, while Ling'er responded to her lazily, seemingly not in the mood. It wasn't until Yao Yan arrived that the snake and the fox suddenly got up, both of their eyes shining brightly as they stared at Yao Yan.

Compared to Cai Die, Ling'er ran straight towards Yao Yan, her joyful appearance as if she had seen something delicious. With a leap, she landed in Yao Yan's arms.

She blinked her emerald green eyes, scrutinizing Yao Yan, sniffing repeatedly as if searching for something. After a moment, she tilted her head with a hint of doubt, looking at Yao Yan with puzzlement, as if wondering where Yao Yan had hidden the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. She could clearly sense that Yao Yan contained the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within her body, but she couldn't find it.

"Little foodie, what's wrong? Want to eat me?"

Yao Yan pinched her neck in an annoyed tone, clearly guessing her little thoughts. The way she acted, she completely regarded him as something delicious.

"嘤嘤~"

Ling'er cried out pitifully, looking as if she didn't understand what Yao Yan was talking about. Her fluffy ears drooped pitifully on both sides of her head as she looked at Yao Yan innocently.

At that moment, Cai Die leaned closer, snatched Ling'er from Yao Yan's hands, and snorted, "You always bully Ling'er~"

"No way, I know how to bully you!"

Yao Yan reached out and pinched Cai Die's cheek, teasingly saying something.

At this moment, Cai Die was dressed exactly like Cai Lin, with a queenly demeanor that made her quite appealing to bully. Unfortunately, Cai Die's eyes were not as cold and beautiful as her sister's, but rather carried a kind of clear foolishness. However, it was precisely because of this that the other party was the Cai Die he knew.

Cai Die glared at Yao Yan angrily and retorted, "If you're so capable, young master, go and bully my sister!"

"Okay, I'll bully her another day."

Yao Yan laughed upon hearing this, showing no fear whatsoever. With strength comes confidence, and he was now completely unafraid of Cai Lin, even confident enough to subdue her and sing "Conquer".

Cai Die pouted and muttered softly, "I knew the young master still thinks about my sister."

"You knew it, yet you still said it."

Yao Yan simply pinched her other cheek and said confidently, making no attempt to hide his wolfish ambition. He wanted both the older and younger sisters. Otherwise, how could he bear to see Cai Lin, who looked exactly like Cai Die, lying in someone else's arms? Besides, he also liked Cai Lin's personality.

"Young master, you're so mean!"

Cai Die was so angry that her chest ached. She hugged Ling'er tighter, as if she were treating her like medicine, wishing she could suffocate her in her arms.

"So, do you love me or not?"

Yao Yan asked in return with a smile.

Cai Die hesitated for a moment, looking at Yao Yan's smiling eyes, and finally couldn't help but look away, giving a soft reply: "...I just love a little bit."

Seeing this scene, Hua She'er felt a headache coming on. She felt that Queen Cai Die was completely under Yao Yan's thumb. However, given Cai Die's personality, she was indeed no match for the human in front of her. Perhaps only another queen could conquer him.

If Yao Yan knew what Hua She'er was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud, because Cai Lin and Cai Die have similar personalities in a sense. They are both love-obsessed, and the former even has a tsundere attribute.

"Let's go, take me to see the city of the snake people."

Yao Yan is now carefree and living a carefree life. After nearly half a year of arduous cultivation, he is restless and wants to see the exotic customs of the snake people.

As if struck by a sudden thought, Cai Die's eyes brightened, and she nodded with a smile, "Young master, please wait a moment while I change my clothes."

If she were to wear this queen's attire into the city, they probably wouldn't be able to go shopping; she would instantly cause hordes of snake people to kneel on the ground in worship.

……

Inside the Queen's palace.

As the current Medusa Queen, Cai Lin is handling the affairs of various tribes, such as the allocation of resources, not only cultivation resources, but also supplies. The resources in the Tagor Desert are ultimately too scarce to be suitable for the snake people to live in, especially food, which is in short supply and needs to be traded from human territory, or even plundered.

Looking at the gaps in the various tribes, Cai Lin's bewitching purple eyes became thoughtful. She wanted to break through to the Dou Zong level as soon as possible, because the fate of the Snake-People could only be completely freed from its shackles once she broke through to the Dou Zong level.

As for the forces that Yao Yan is building, this matter is only in its early stages, and she is not the type of person who likes to rely on others.
