Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 73 Queen Medusa

Nangong Wuxin narrowed his eyes and calmly said, "Besides, I'm also putting myself in her shoes. If I were Queen Medusa, would I be so comfortable sending one of my few strategists as an envoy to a human city?"

"But no matter what, it's always better to be careful."

Hearing Nangong Wuxin say this, Lin Lang nodded, understanding his meaning.

After Nangong Wuxin left, Lin Lang remained in the area, making no attempt to conceal himself, and openly sat in a nearby teahouse.

As Nangong Wuxin walked, he pondered in his heart which kind of pill he should refine first.

If the snake people hadn't come today, he was prepared to refine another Royal Extreme Pill to test his skills.

Let's see if he, who hasn't entered the Danhun Realm but whose soul power has increased significantly, can refine a top-grade Royal Extreme Pill.

Now that Nika has arrived, it seems we can use that "Spring Breeze and Drizzle" technique to practice our skills.

Among sixth-grade pills, Spring Breeze and Drizzle is not particularly difficult to refine. It is even simpler to refine than Battle Spirit Pill. However, because its medicinal effect is mainly aimed at fire damage, it is not considered mainstream and is not very popular.

"Since they're here, we can't just let them leave that same day, can we?"

Nangong Wuxin suddenly grinned, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

At the very least, he wanted to see if his guess was correct.

……

A group of snake people stayed at the Alchemist Guild, supposedly there to ask Mr. Wuxin for medicine.

The news quickly spread throughout Yellowstone City. The Alchemist Guild was bustling with people every day, and nothing could be kept secret from so many eyes and ears.

Looking at the people coming and going outside, the snake-people who had come with Nika had a longing look in their eyes.

They were especially envious of those dressed in glamorous clothes.

"I remember this city. It was just a border town, not very prosperous, not even comparable to our holy city. Now, in just a few short years, it has become so bustling..."

The veiled snake-woman stood on high ground, gazing at the city filled with an atmosphere of peace and prosperity, and felt a surge of emotion.

Is this the power of a top-tier alchemist?

It's not just attractive to high-level powerhouses; its appeal to the general public is even more terrifying.

The flow of people can sometimes reflect the prosperity of a city to a certain extent.

Today, the streets and alleys of Huangshi City are full of people, with a constant flow of traffic and smiles on their faces, something that can never be seen among the snake people.

After all... who can laugh when living in that godforsaken place?

"Your Majesty, there was no need for you to go yourself; you were already injured. The powerful figure accompanying Nangong Wuxin is quite strong..."

Yes, the woman following Nika is Queen Medusa.

In her mind, humans were treacherous and cunning. Nika was one of the few intelligent members of the snake-people tribe.

If something goes wrong, the snake people can't afford the losses.

"It's alright. Even if I'm not at my peak now, that old guy can't stop me from taking you with me."

Queen Medusa glanced almost imperceptibly in the direction of the teahouse, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes.

A sixth-grade alchemist...

Turning her head, Medusa looked at Nika, who was standing to the side with her head down, and suddenly said, "You must be thinking, 'If only I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?' Now it seems like I was really stupid, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nika quickly shook her head: "Her Majesty the Queen has considered the overall situation and prioritized the Snake People. Your choice is not wrong."

"It's just that Nangong Wuxin's talent is too terrifying, and his growth rate is too fast, reaching this point so quickly. Originally, I thought that after graduating from Canaan Academy, he might not advance to the sixth-grade alchemist until he was around thirty years old. During this time, I have many ways to strengthen the connection between the two sides."

"It's just that he was too fast..."

Nika was filled with emotion. A sixth-grade alchemist who was not even twenty years old, was he even human?

Queen Medusa remained noncommittal upon hearing Nika's words.

She suddenly changed the subject and asked Nika, "Did you bring enough money with you this time?"

"I brought some of the Earth Tribe's wealth with me, about 500,000 gold coins. If I sell some things, I can probably raise about 2 million gold coins."

Nika glanced at his storage ring and told the truth.

"Is Her Majesty preparing?"

"Buy some Tranquilizing Pills to prepare for the worst." Medusa didn't hide anything; Nika was smart enough not to lie.

"But... according to my information, all the shops selling Tranquility Pills in Huangshi City belong to the Nangong family, and each shop only has one hundred Tranquility Pills per day. Even if we buy them all, I'm afraid they won't be of much use, right?"

Nika paused for a moment. The needs of just one tribe, the Earth Tribe, were beyond what these shops could meet.

"Give it a try, promise a great reward."

Medusa shook her head. This is a shortcoming of intelligent people: when faced with difficulties, they think of overcoming them instead of charging straight through.

"You don't need to worry about Mobas's matter, I'll handle it."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Your Majesty, you mustn't act impulsively!"

Nika quickly intervened, saying that the snake-people's spiritual leader and fighter couldn't afford to get hurt.

"I won't act impulsively. Isn't he an alchemist? This strange fire should be enough of a bargaining chip."

"Her Majesty is wise!"

Nika's eyes lit up as she understood Medusa's plan. She quickly bowed her head and praised Her Majesty the Queen's wisdom.

"Go do what you need to do."

After getting rid of Nika, a hint of worry reappeared on Medusa's face.

When she first saw Nangong Wuxin, she vaguely sensed a burning heat emanating from him, which was exactly the same as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, or even more intense.

"Sigh, I hope it's not what I'm thinking."

There are some things that she would still make the same choice for even if she had to do them a thousand times over.

However, regretting or shifting blame after making a mistake is pointless.

A true king, after making a mistake, will only try to resolve the issue.

People can not escape from doing wrong?

A leader can be incompetent, short-sighted, or tyrannical, but as long as he can handle things and resolve them, he is a qualified leader!

From the current perspective, Medusa is qualified in this respect.

However, luck didn't seem to be on her side.

A brief but intense tremor interrupted Medusa's thoughts. Thinking she had discovered it, she instinctively tried to undo the hidden spell.

After carefully sensing the surroundings, he realized that no one had attacked him.

"As expected of Mr. Wuxin, judging from this commotion, he must have successfully refined another Rank 6 pill?"

"Of course! Have you ever seen Mr. Heartless fail?"

"That's true... I heard that Mr. Wuxin and Pill King Guhe are also good friends. They are both sixth-grade alchemists. Will our Huangshi City be even more prosperous than the capital in the future?"
