Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Ye Chen had experience with this kind of thing. Wasn't that giant winged eagle his mount in the same humiliating way?

Queen Medusa, who had thought this guy might come up with some good ideas, couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said irritably, "I thought you had some good ideas, but it's all just nonsense!"

Having finished speaking, she didn't say anything more to this guy and looked directly at the two-headed fire spirit snake. Suddenly, an invisible pressure shot out from her pale purple eyes. The terrifying aura unique to the snake queen descended on the two-headed fire spirit snake. That pressure from the bloodline level directly made the two-headed fire spirit snake submit...

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but nod in admiration and said to Queen Medusa, who was looking over, "As expected of Her Majesty the Queen of the Snake-People! To be able to subdue such a strange beast with just her aura, she is truly a model of beauty and strength!"

Hearing Ye Chen's sincere praise, even Queen Medusa couldn't help but slightly curl her red lips...

Chapter 111 Green Lotus in the Flames

Within the scorching magma, protected by silver sparks, Ye Chen moved freely, seemingly unaffected by the intense heat surrounding him.

As for Queen Medusa behind him, she was also covered in a purple aura shield, which formed a circle that prevented the magma from getting close to her.

"Big guy, lead the way!"

Ye Chen called out to the two-headed fire spirit snake that was circling around the two of them, but the snake seemed not to listen to him. Instead, both of its heads turned towards Queen Medusa beside them...

"Haha~"

Queen Medusa couldn't help but chuckle softly, then nodded and gave the order before the two-headed fire serpent turned and dived into the lava.

Alright, Ye Chen glanced at Queen Medusa's slightly smug expression, twitched the corner of his mouth, and then followed the two-headed fire spirit serpent, diving deeper into the lava.

Within the fiery red magma world, undercurrents surged. Occasionally, an extremely fierce magma current would erupt from some unknown place. These currents contained enormous energy, and if struck, even a Great Battle Master would only suffer severe injuries.

Fortunately, the Fire Spirit Serpent was extremely familiar with the area and was able to find the most suitable route to sneak around before the undercurrents arrived, which meant that the two people behind it did not have to expend their fighting spirit to resist these undercurrents.

As the depth increased, the surrounding temperature also rose, which caused Ye Chen and his companion to consume more and more battle qi to counteract the high external temperature.

Especially Ye Chen, whose cultivation level was a whole major realm lower than Queen Medusa's.

It was precisely because of the Star Chart's enhancement and the high level of his cultivation technique that Ye Chen's fighting spirit was far superior to that of others at the same realm, which allowed him to easily sustain himself until now.

The two continued to descend, not knowing exactly how long they had been submerged, because in this environment where all five senses were stripped away, it was impossible to have a precise concept of the passage of time...

Finally, when the surrounding lava began to turn bluish, Queen Medusa frowned, looked at Ye Chen who was struggling to maintain the flames, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Master Ye, why don't you come with me?"

Ye Chen, who was already feeling somewhat strained, was clearly taken aback by what the other person said, but then he was secretly delighted, though he didn't show it on his face.

"Alright, then thank you very much, Your Majesty." Ye Chen smiled and nodded in gratitude, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor.

After speaking, Ye Chen took a step and arrived inside the battle aura shield erected by Queen Medusa. At the same time, he felt a sense of relief as the boundless pressure disappeared.

Ye Chen nodded gratefully to Queen Medusa once more, but before he knew it, he was already very close to her...

Unfortunately, the shield wasn't very big to begin with. It was spacious enough to accommodate one person, but adding another person would make it feel a bit crowded.

The descent continues...

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a pleasant fragrance wafting to his nose. Then, his gaze shifted slightly, and he realized that the two of them were now leaning against each other, and he could even feel a soft sensation on his left arm from time to time.

"I go!"

Ye Chen was startled and quickly sorted out the jumbled thoughts in his mind. He looked straight ahead and tried his best to appear calm.

They continued diving as if nothing had happened.

But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a blush creeping onto the beautiful woman's face beside him, a blush that he couldn't tell if it was from the high temperature around them...

Little did they know, Queen Medusa was now filled with regret...

I shouldn't have let this guy in!

She hadn't thought much about it at first, but as the surrounding temperature rose, she worried that the guy wouldn't make it to the point of seeing the strange fire, so she decided to let him enter her protective shield.

But as the surrounding pressure increased, even Queen Medusa herself had to reduce the size of the shield in order to lessen the pressure she was under.

However, this made the already cramped space inside the battle aura shield even more confined, inevitably causing the two to move closer together, and then...

Taking a deep breath and feeling the presence of a man she had never been so close to before, Queen Medusa suppressed the urge to whip him away with her tail, hoping to reach her destination quickly.

Whether it was the heavens hearing Queen Medusa's wish or not, the next moment, a brilliant blue light shone in their eyes, enveloping the lava...

Queen Medusa looked closely and could vaguely see a blue lotus flower standing gracefully within the blue light.

"We've found the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!" Ye Chen's voice rang out, filling Queen Medusa with joy.

"Should we go over there?" Queen Medusa asked excitedly.

Ye Chen smiled gently, turned slightly to look at the perfect face so close to his, and said softly, "Of course we have to go, but the surrounding area of ​​the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is definitely even more terrifying. So, Your Majesty, you must protect the two of us so that I can go and pick the Azure Lotus."

Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes flickered upon hearing this. She glanced sideways at the guy who was practically leaning against her, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly, then pushed off the lava with his feet, and his body, like a small fish in a lake, swam rapidly towards the area covered by the blue light.

As his body drew closer to the cyan light, Ye Chen could clearly feel the temperature around him rise almost suddenly.

Queen Medusa, who was responsible for protecting the two, naturally felt this change even more clearly. She shook her silver teeth and had no choice but to shrink the battle aura shield around the two of them again.

In an instant, two warm bodies pressed together, causing both of them, experiencing this for the first time, to simultaneously tremble...

Fortunately, after entering the cyan light, the expected intense heat did not arrive as expected; instead, the temperature around me dropped strangely.

This left Queen Medusa, whose heart was pounding, with no time to think. She immediately doubled the range of her shield, creating distance between herself and the guy.

With a slight sigh of regret, Ye Chen then focused his attention on the blue lotus in front of him...

The blue lotus flower has eight petals, each a vibrant blue, like the finest jade, exuding a natural perfection. At first glance, its crystal-clear appearance makes it irresistible to hold.

Within the lotus, there seemed to be a small lotus platform, about two or three feet in size, with a tiny flame dancing on it, like a perfect fire spirit.

Chapter 112 Obtaining the Strange Fire

Both Ye Chen and Queen Medusa were captivated by the magnificent blue lotus before them.

Especially the flickering flames at the heart of the lotus, which can entice the deepest greed within people's hearts...

Fortunately, neither of the two people present were ordinary people, so they wouldn't turn against each other over this mere Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Besides, they would each need the other's help in the future.

"Be careful of those tentacles beneath the lotus. Don't get them on you, or your fighting spirit will be completely drained in the blink of an eye," Ye Chen warned solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa's gaze involuntarily drifted downwards towards the blue lotus...

Beneath the blue lotus, she saw extremely long and thin roots extending out, each over ten meters long. These roots were covered with countless tiny tendrils, and as these tendrils swayed, she could clearly feel them greedily and frantically absorbing the violent fire-attribute energy from the surrounding magma.

Nodding solemnly, Queen Medusa looked at Ye Chen again and asked, "What should we do now?"

Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a moment. Although the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame seemed harmless at this moment, if they got too close, they would definitely be devoured by it. Even if they could defeat the strange flame, they would definitely be injured like Medusa in the original story.

However, the presence of the Azure Lotus Seat did give Ye Chen room to maneuver.

"How about this, Your Majesty, you will take action to withstand the surrounding high temperature, and then I will pluck this lotus throne!" Ye Chen suggested.

"Yes!" Queen Medusa nodded immediately.

Anyway, she didn't understand this kind of thing. If it were her, the only way would be to subdue it by force...

The two avoided the roots and tendrils beneath the Azure Lotus Throne, and then Queen Medusa suddenly expanded the surrounding battle aura shield, directly enveloping the entire Azure Lotus Throne.

This sudden change also caused the strange fire within the Azure Lotus Throne to react; the previously leisurely flames suddenly began to flicker and accelerate...

A surge of immense energy was brewing within the strange fire, and it looked like it was about to erupt... Queen Medusa was about to lead Ye Chen away when she saw this, but he stopped her.

Sure enough, just as the energy was about to erupt, the cyan lotus seat suddenly emitted bursts of cyan light, actually suppressing the strange fire...

"What's going on?" Queen Medusa looked at Ye Chen in astonishment and asked.

While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Ye Chen said confidently, "Hehe, just as I expected. This Azure Lotus Seat and the Azure Lotus Core Flame are from the same lineage, and the former is even the product of the latter. Therefore, it has a natural suppressive force on the Azure Lotus Core Flame and can prevent the temperature of the strange fire from overflowing."

"You even know this?" Queen Medusa looked at Ye Chen with a hint of admiration.

This guy may look young, but he knows a lot.

Of course, this also suggests that this person's background is anything but simple; at the very least, he comes from a family with a long and distinguished lineage.

"I only saw it in an ancient book," Ye Chen said modestly.

"Hehe, it seems Master Ye really enjoys reading..." Queen Medusa gave the other person a meaningful look, pursed her red lips, and did not ask any further questions.

The rest is straightforward.

Ye Chen took out a specially prepared jade shovel from his storage ring and carefully swam towards the blue lotus. At the part where the lotus seat connects to the root, he gently made a cut, and the blue lotus, which was as perfect as a work of art, fell off.

Seeing the blue lotus fall, Ye Chen quickly reached out and drew it in, then made it float in front of him and slowly rotate. His gaze swept over it, his face full of amazement.

After Ye Chen took down the Green Lotus, Queen Medusa's gaze fell once again on the root that was frantically devouring the fire-attribute energy in the surrounding magma.

Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, then she smiled and said, "Master Ye, look at how this root can absorb energy so frantically, it must be some kind of rare treasure, right? Why don't we take it with us?"

This scene left Ye Chen speechless; it seemed that Her Majesty the Queen was unaware of the saying, "Leave a way out for others."

"I'd rather not," Ye Chen said, shaking his head slightly.

"Huh? What?" Queen Medusa was clearly taken aback and asked in surprise.

"It's best to leave these spiritual objects, which take thousands of years to form, as a last resort. After all, with this root still in existence, given another thousand years, it can grow into a new blue lotus."

"And if even this section of root and leaves were taken away... then the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame here might be forever extinct..."

After explaining for a moment, Ye Chen paused and said again, "In the world of alchemy, destroying the roots and stems of spiritual objects or herbs when harvesting them is the most infuriating thing. After all, the conditions for the formation of spiritual objects are extremely harsh."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Queen Medusa did not refute them, but immediately said, "Then forget it. I didn't expect Master Ye to have such sentiments, it's truly admirable."

After saying that, the two did not stay in the lava for long and immediately began to return.

Returning was much easier than descending, and with the Fire Spirit Serpent leading the way, there was no need to worry about getting lost. So the two of them hurried upwards.

At this moment, at the entrance to the passage above the lava, Mobas, clad in black armor and wielding twin swords, anxiously watched the churning lava lake, muttering unconsciously, "Why isn't he coming out yet..."

Although Queen Medusa's order to him was to guard outside the cave, Mobas, worried about the safety of his goddess, couldn't stay there and eventually couldn't resist coming inside.

But when he reached the end of the passage, there was no longer any trace of Her Majesty the Queen; all he could see was an endless, churning world of lava.

Without a doubt, the Queen must have ventured deep into this magma world with that despicable human...

Just as Mobas was feeling panicked and at a loss.

"Pfft..."

A sound like water breaking suddenly echoed through the cave.

Upon hearing the sound, Mobas quickly turned his gaze to the magma, where he saw a huge purple aura shield appear in his field of vision.

Then, the protective shield opened, and Her Majesty the Queen's figure slowly appeared in sight.

But just as Mobas was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he witnessed a scene that made his eyes widen in fury...

That despicable human actually walked out of the protective barrier hand in hand with his goddess. Judging from the distance between them, they were practically shoulder to shoulder.

How can this be tolerated?!

Chapter 113 Evolution Begins

Ye Chen ignored the gloomy look that Mobass was giving him.

In fact, this is the greatest tragedy...

"Next, I would like to invite Master Ye to stay with the Snake-People for a while. Before I evolve, I need to make some preparations..." Queen Medusa said with a smile and a gentle voice.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "It's alright, Her Majesty can decide everything."

Medusa's evolution is fraught with danger. Even with the help of Ye Chen, an alchemist, Queen Medusa is not entirely confident. Therefore, in addition to adjusting her own condition, she also needs to arrange all the affairs of her clan.

Deep within the temple of the Serpent People, there is a bamboo house hidden in a bamboo forest.

Medusa stopped in front of the bamboo house, a hint of seriousness appearing on her face, and then gently knocked on the door.

"come in."

There was a knock on the door, and an old voice came from the bamboo house.

The door opened with a click, and Medusa stepped inside.

If Ye Chen were here, he would have noticed four obscure auras within this bamboo house. Although not as strong as Medusa's, they were still not to be underestimated, at least at the level of a nine-star Dou Huang...

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the reason you summoned me and my companions this time is because something significant has happened in the clan?"

The sound was extremely unpleasant to the ear, like a stone scraping against glass, leaving one with an uncomfortable feeling all over.

As the sound rang out, the four figures in the shadows in the dimly lit room revealed their true forms.
