Breaking the Masked Man

Cai Lin said calmly. Of course, she would not admit that she felt the same way, or that she was even more miserable than Cai Die. After all, she could only feel, but could not experience it herself, much like someone who could only look but not touch.

"Really? No way, I could always sense when my sister was injured before, but just now, the way you bullied her..."

Cai Die was somewhat suspicious, but she stopped midway through her sentence, not daring to continue.

"Be more careful next time."

Cai Lin didn't want to continue the topic with Cai Die, so she raised her hand and tapped her younger sister on the head. Then she got up and walked outside. She planned to arrange two snake women for Yao Yan, even if they were just personal maids, it would be better than Yao Yan keeping an eye on her sister.

However, this person is obviously not easy to choose. Physical appearance, temperament, and ability all need to be taken into account, and the other party's wishes also need to be considered. Forcing someone is obviously unnecessary.

Soon, she had an idea.

It just so happens that Yin Shi and Yue Mei will arrive in the royal city today, and Yue Mei's personality is a good match.

soon.

Cai Lin then met Yin Shi and Yue Mei, and the two arrived at the royal city late at night.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

The two bowed respectfully to Cai Lin.

Cai Lin raised her hand, her cold, beautiful eyes falling on Yin Shi, and said calmly, "What are the thoughts of the tribal leaders on forming a power?"

"If everything is as the Queen says, most of them will have no objections, but only if the other party can really produce sixth-grade pills such as the Breakthrough Pill and the Imperial Pill that can directly enable people to break through!"

Yin Shi, with his body hunched over, calmly recounted the situation of the various tribes.

Cai Lin parted her red lips slightly, her tone unchanged: "He will refine these pills tomorrow, you can stay and keep an eye on them."

Upon hearing this, Yue Mei narrowed her alluring eyes, seemingly quite interested in the mysterious alchemist Yao Yan. After a moment's thought, she asked directly, "Your Majesty, may I watch it tomorrow?"

"Alright, in addition, I also hope that you can become his personal maid. Are you willing?"

Cai Lin looked at Yue Mei and said directly.

"?!"

Upon hearing this, both Yin Shi and Yue Mei were stunned. The latter was even more surprised and looked at Cai Lin with confusion. She knew about the relationship between the other Queen and Yao Yan. Would it be inappropriate for her to approach her now?

Yin Shi frowned, then immediately understood Cai Lin's meaning. He knew that the two queens had a special connection, and using Yue Mei to solve this problem would not only not damage his relationship with Yao Yan, but could even deepen it.

"You can consider it. Give me your answer after he finishes refining the elixir. Besides you, Flower Snake will also become his personal maid."

Cai Lin was known for her outrageous statements, and this time, she had undoubtedly gone all out, even giving away her personal female bodyguard.

"Flower Snake?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Mei's smile deepened, and she inexplicably looked forward to serving Yao Yan together with Hua She'er in the future.

Yin Shi was equally surprised, but considering Yao Yan's special nature, he could only remain silent.

……

Yao Yan was unaware of the grand gift Cai Lin had prepared for him. At this moment, he was attempting to condense the Destruction Fire Lotus. With the soul power of the Spirit Realm, he was not worried at all about not being able to control the fire and causing it to blow up the entire palace. In fact, with his powerful soul power, he suppressed all energy fluctuations within the small house.

Thanks to the help of the colorful butterfly, he felt refreshed and clear-headed. After trying more than ten times, he actually managed to condense a blue-gold fire lotus. It was extremely perfect, containing all the destructive power within it and maintaining a perfect balance, just like a work of art. The lotus leaves swayed gently, and each tremor caused the surrounding energy of heaven and earth to tremble slightly.

"It's done!"

Yao Yan stared at the fire lotus in his palm, a smile creeping onto his lips. He knew he now had a trump card, and its power would increase exponentially with the growth of the strange fire. This reminded him of another fighting technique.

The Five-Wheel Fire-Separating Technique created by Venerable Heavenly Fire in the original work!

That is also a fighting technique that is extremely compatible with the Burning Technique, and Venerable Heavenly Fire himself is also very interesting, with a high level of expertise in formations and sealing techniques.

That makes sense, though. If he didn't have that level of skill, how could he have dared to swallow two Fallen Heart Flames? Although he ended up killing himself, it also shows his ability. After all, the weak wouldn't dare to do something like that, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"Perhaps I could learn about formations!"

Yao Yan had another idea. Compared to alchemy, formations were undoubtedly a way to quickly increase combat power. Moreover, formations would not be outdated when he entered the Great Thousand World in the future, and they even had a complete inheritance. It would be good to get involved in one or two aspects now to pave the way for the future.

After pondering for a moment, he dispersed the fire lotus in his hand, then tried to condense it a few more times. Once he was proficient, he sat cross-legged and entered into cultivation.

Now that the Burning Technique has evolved to the advanced Xuan rank, his cultivation speed has instantly increased several times over. Even the battle qi he circulates is incomparable to what it used to be. With each breath, a massive amount of heaven and earth energy surges into his body. And this is without him using the Azure Lotus; otherwise, his cultivation speed would have increased even more.

At his current cultivation speed, if he were to go into seclusion, it would probably take him two or three months to advance one star. Such a cultivation speed is undoubtedly quite abnormal among Dou Wang level cultivators.

However, Yao Yan was clearly not the kind of person who could endure loneliness. In the past, he had secluded himself to cultivate in order to hone his foundation. After breaking through to the Dou Wang realm, his cultivation style naturally changed. In particular, knowing the whereabouts of the strange fire, he could completely improve his strength by evolving the Burning Technique.

The primal power contained within the strange fire is the best resource for him to improve his cultivation, and that primal power will transform his body time and time again!

……

The night ends and the day dawns.

As the scorching sun rose above the horizon, the temperature in the Tagor Desert rapidly increased. A large number of powerful Snake-people gathered in the square of the Snake-people's royal palace. Even one of the four elders who usually stayed in the cemetery came out. Everyone stared intently at Yao Yan in the center.

He had taken out a pitch-black medicine cauldron, lit it with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, and then, like burning firewood, threw a large amount of medicinal herbs that needed to be refined into it.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, drops of the essence liquid were continuously refined and extracted.

An hour later.

Accompanied by a burst of purple-gold energy soaring into the sky, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire plaza. The unique medicinal aroma caused many snake people to break through on the spot, especially those below the Great Battle Master level. Their original bottlenecks were broken through immediately after inhaling the medicinal fragrance.

This scene immediately drew gasps from the crowd, and everyone's eyes became burning with anticipation as they looked at Yao Yan.

"What an exaggerated alchemy technique..."

Yue Mei bit her lip, and her extremely charming eyes showed a hint of surprise. As one of the leaders of the eight tribes of the Snake-People, she had naturally seen human alchemists refine pills. However, those people were extremely careful when refining pills, even low-grade ones. They were nothing like Yao Yan, who was so unrestrained, turning them over and over as if they were grilling, and yet they still succeeded.

Moreover, the energy surge that shot straight into the sky clearly indicated that the pill the opponent had refined was of a high grade!

Wait until the energy impact dissipates.

Yao Yan opened the Black Demon Cauldron, took out the still-warm Royal Extreme Pill, put it into a jade bottle, and then tossed it to Cai Die without even looking at it, laughing, "A sixth-grade Royal Extreme Pill can increase the strength of a Dou Huang by one to two stars. Eat it while it's hot!"

After saying that, he didn't need to recover his state. He took out another batch of medicinal herbs from his storage ring and threw them into the Black Demon Cauldron, intending to refine a few Battle Spirit Pills.

As for the Breakthrough Pill, although its grade is only sixth, its refining difficulty is comparable to that of a seventh grade. Yao Yan plans to familiarize himself with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame first. It has to be said that the enhancement of the strange flame to alchemists is truly terrifying. Herbs that used to require a lot of battle qi to refine can now be refined in the blink of an eye, and the time saved is terrifying.

There was an indescribable feeling of comfort, as if refining elixirs was like rolling a ball, one pill at a time.

Yao Yan thought the Royal Extreme Pill was nothing special, but little did he know that his words would leave everyone present speechless. The old snake-man, one of the four elders, even swallowed hard, his eyes burning as he stared at the jade bottle in Cai Die's hand. This was within the snake-man's territory; outside, this Royal Extreme Pill would be enough to cause a Dou Huang to fight to the death, and even a Dou Wang at the peak would be unable to resist.

Besides enhancing the strength of Dou Huang, the Huangji Pill's immense medicinal power is also enough to enable a peak Dou Wang expert to break through to Dou Huang.

Although the risk is extremely high, there is also a chance that it won't be.

And so, these elixirs were refined with such ease...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 113 Alchemy! A Rank 7 Alchemist!

The snake-people were all dumbfounded by Yao Yan's highly efficient alchemy method.

Those extremely precious sixth-grade pills that could help Dou Wang and Dou Huang break through directly were now flying out of the medicine cauldron like cabbages, filling jade bottles and neatly arranging them beside Yao Yan. As time passed, the speed at which he refined pills also increased.

The most outrageous thing is that Yao Yan has never failed once, and refining sixth-grade pills seems to be no difficulty for him.

As the sun began to set, Yao Yan stopped refining pills, closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and began to recover his depleted battle qi and soul power, while also digesting the day's gains. Both the Battle Spirit Pill and the Imperial Extreme Pill were highly valuable among sixth-grade pills, and their refining difficulty was not low.

If Yao Yan's soul hadn't broken through to the Spirit Realm level, he wouldn't have been able to do it so casually.

The soul power at the Spirit Realm level possesses a unique ability: it can sense the spirituality of medicinal herbs, making the alchemist's pill-refining process smoother, and even imbuing them with spirit, thus enhancing the efficacy of the pills. This level of soul power is also one of the essential conditions for refining Grade 8 pills.

Using this level of soul power to refine a sixth-grade pill naturally feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

However, it is best used to familiarize oneself with one's own strength, as both battle qi and soul power have increased dramatically in just a few days.

Time passes slowly.

The powerful snake-people around did not leave, and they even spoke in very low voices, for fear of disturbing Yao Yan, who was meditating.

Yue Mei licked her rosy lips, her charming eyes sparkling with intense interest as she stared intently at Yao Yan. She had already made up her mind about what the Queen had said last night. Even if it wasn't for Her Majesty the Queen, simply being by her side would be a great opportunity for her.

A seventeen-year-old Dou Wang powerhouse, and the opponent is also a sixth-grade alchemist with a different kind of fire...

Following the other side is undoubtedly more promising than becoming a tribal chief.

At this moment, she was completely won over by Yao Yan. Admiring the strong is never a shameful thing. After all, most people in this world don't even have the chance to choose.

Thinking of this, Yue Mei glanced at the flower snake beside her with her charming eyes.

Compared to her gentle and charming demeanor, Hua She'er's attire and bearing were more dignified. Noticing the other's gaze, she frowned slightly, looking over in confusion. Their eyes met instantly. Yue Mei smiled, glanced at the two queens not far away, and whispered, "Her Majesty the Queen must have told you that she wants you to become her personal maid."

"said."

Upon hearing this, Flower Snake responded with a sound of agreement, her expression unchanged, seemingly unaffected by the matter.

Looking at her expression, Yue Mei's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with great certainty, "It seems you have agreed."

Hua She'er said calmly, "I am the Queen's personal bodyguard, and I will not disobey any of the Queen's orders."

"I didn't mean to tell you this. I just wanted to ask what kind of person he is... You've been by his side all this time, so you must know something about him. I've never met him, or even had any contact with him. To prevent me from making any mistakes in the future, shouldn't you, as the older sister, take care of me?"

Yue Mei's eyes flickered slightly as she softly inquired.

"...Then you don't need to worry about anything. This young master is different from most human powerhouses. He is easy to communicate with. You can interact with him normally."

Flower Snake was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

Yue Mei stared at Hua She'er with a half-smile, and said playfully, "Her Majesty the Queen doesn't mean for us to have normal conversations with him. Sister, do you not understand?"
