42. Spirit Fusion Pill

A while later, Medusa returned with the herbs and tossed them to Xiao Tian. "Your Majesty, can you really bear to leave me alone? Look how badly I'm hurt. Are you still going to make me do this myself?"

"Do you expect me to apply your medicine for you?" Medusa said, but she still walked over and began treating his wounds according to Xiao Tian's instructions. "Just this once!"

"Hiss... Your Majesty, that hurts!" Medusa snapped, "One more word and I'll leave you alone!" Xiao Tian, who had been about to play pitiful, promptly shut his mouth. Once the medicine had been applied, he kept staring directly at Medusa.

"What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll dig your eyes out!" Xiao Tian coughed. "Isn't it because you're so beautiful? I got a little lost looking at you." "Lecher!"

"I didn't do anything. I was just taking a careful look at you." Medusa snorted. "Hurry up and prepare the Spirit Fusion Pill for me!" "Once my injuries heal, I'll refine it for you."

"I don't wish to owe you a favor. Refine a Spirit Fusion Pill for me, and no matter what you want me to do, I can help you." "No need. I don't need repayment from you."

"I said I don't want to owe you a favor!" "It's fine. Just consider it something I did willingly." "Hmph. Don't regret it when the time comes." Every step I've taken in my life, I've never thought of regretting any of them.

Hearing this, Medusa said nothing more. She transformed into the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python and slipped into Xiao Tian's clothes. "I'm going into hibernation! Have my pill ready before I wake up next time!" "O-Okay."

Xiao Tian let out a breath and quietly began using Dou Qi to heal himself. It's all that damn Crappy System's fault. It never told me the backlash would be this severe! After a night of treatment, Xiao Tian had recovered seventy to eighty percent. He flew toward the imperial capital.

After arriving at the imperial capital, Xiao Tian first went to the inn where he had left Qing Lin. He knocked on the door. When it opened, Qing Lin asked, "Who is it?" Then she cried out in surprise, "Brother Xiao Tian, you're okay?"

Xiao Tian was briefly stunned by her shout before saying, "I'm fine." He then asked, "Are Yun Yun and Lu Man here?" "Brother Xiao Tian, Sister Yun Yun and the others went to the desert to look for you. Later, they went to the Snake People Clan but couldn't find Queen Medusa. After they came back, they told me to wait here, then went somewhere else to look for you!"

"Oh, I see. I have something to do later, so wait here for them. When they return, tell them I'm fine and that I'm back." "Okay!"

"I'm heading out, then. Just wait here for them. Once they return, tell them to wait here for me." With that, he left the room. Since he was already in the imperial capital, he might as well go see Ya Fei. He had originally planned to participate in the Alchemist Association tournament, but Xiao Tian suddenly lost interest. Why would a Sixth Grade Alchemist like him go bully weaklings?

When he had time later, he could casually claim a Sixth Grade Alchemist badge. As he wandered around outside, he spotted the Alchemist Association and shook his head. He had not found the Miter Auction House, yet he had run into the Alchemist Association instead!

Since that was the case, he would go in and get a Sixth Grade badge. Saying so, he headed toward the imperial capital's Alchemist Association. On the way, he took out his Fourth Grade Alchemist badge from his ring and put it on.

When Xiao Tian entered, the guards all lowered their heads in greeting and did not stop him. After all, a Fourth Grade Alchemist so young was not someone a few guards could afford to offend.

After asking someone where the Alchemist assessment was held, he headed straight there. Reaching a large door, Xiao Tian pushed it open and walked inside. "Excuse me, is this where Alchemist rank assessments are held?"

An old man came out at this point. "Little brother, are you here for an Alchemist assessment?" He sized Xiao Tian up, and when he saw the Fourth Grade Alchemist badge on Xiao Tian's chest, his entire expression twisted. This young boy was actually a Fourth Grade Alchemist.

Xiao Tian said flatly, "I want to take the Sixth Grade Alchemist assessment. Can we begin now?" The old man asked, "Young master, are you saying that you are currently a Sixth Grade Alchemist?" Seeing that Xiao Tian ignored him, he hurriedly continued, "Young master, please follow me. Grandmaster Fa Ma is currently assessing Third Grade Alchemists."

Xiao Tian said nothing and followed the old man over. They arrived at an assessment area, where several people were taking an alchemy examination in the hall. There was nothing remarkable about it; he had long since mastered Third Grade pills.

Just as Xiao Tian was growing bored, Fa Ma walked over. "Greetings, young master. I am Fa Ma, president of this Alchemist Association. Are you here to take the Sixth Grade Alchemist assessment?"

"Yes. Can we start now? I'm in a hurry and still have other matters to handle later, so you understand." Although Fa Ma was also a Sixth Grade Alchemist, he did not wish to offend a youth who had reached the Sixth Grade at such an age. If this person had reached the Sixth Grade so young, surpassing him in the future would only be a matter of time.

Fa Ma addressed everyone in the hall. "Everyone, please stop for now. Today's assessment will end here. The assessment will resume tomorrow. We must first conduct an assessment for this young master!"

A quirky little girl said, "Grandmaster Fa Ma, you never make exceptions. Why are you doing something like this today? Who is he?"

Fa Ma said, "This young master wishes to take the Sixth Grade Alchemist assessment. There are only a few Sixth Grade Alchemists in our Jia Ma Empire, so I hope Princess Yao Yue can understand."

"What?" Fa Ma's words shocked everyone. This young man was actually here to take the Sixth Grade Alchemist assessment? A youth nearby said, "Grandmaster Fa Ma, are you joking? How old is he? How could he possibly be here for the Sixth Grade Alchemist assessment?"

Xiao Tian said indifferently, "Stop wasting my time. What the hell does the rank I'm testing for have to do with you? Grandmaster Fa Ma, can we begin?"

"Please register your name and your mentor first, young master." "I have no mentor. My name is Xiao Tian, from Wutan City." No mentor! After registering, Xiao Tian asked, "Do you have ingredients here for refining a Spirit Fusion Pill?"

"Yes. Young Master Xiao Tian, are you planning to refine a Spirit Fusion Pill?" "Yes. I happen to need one. I only came here for the assessment because I didn't have the ingredients." Fa Ma was speechless. So that was why! How arrogant.

At this moment, the youth Xiao Tian had just rebuked spoke again. "Arrogant brat! My teacher is Pill King Gu He!"

Xiao Tian smiled. "In my eyes, Gu He is merely a somewhat larger ant." Then he raised a hand toward the youth who thought himself handsome. "You're annoying. Get lost." Boom! A surge of Dou Qi blasted Gu He's disciple out of the Alchemist Association.

Xiao Tian asked, "Are the materials ready?" "They're ready, Young Master Xiao Tian. Please." The materials were promptly brought over to him. As for the youths who had just been taking the Third Grade assessment, after witnessing Xiao Tian's dominance, none of them dared speak again.

The girl who had just been called the little princess left at once. She needed to return and tell her imperial grandfather what had happened here!

After tossing the ingredients into the cauldron, Xiao Tian began refining the pill with two kinds of Heavenly Flames. Boom! The moment the Heavenly Flames appeared, Fa Ma, standing on the platform, was deeply shocked. He had never expected such a young man to possess two kinds of Heavenly Flames!

What kind of faction had nurtured such a monstrous youth? He even possessed Heavenly Flames so rare, and it was already extremely dangerous for one person to contain a single Heavenly Flame in their body. Yet he had two!

One shock after another left Fa Ma dumbfounded. Half an hour later, Jia Xing Tian also arrived at the Alchemist Association. After hearing Princess Yao Yue's report, he had come to take a look. He had not expected it to be him!

Seeing Jia Xingtian arrive and hearing from his tone that he seemed to know the youth, Fa Ma asked, "Old Jia, you know this young man?"

"I met him once in the Snake-People territory of the Tagore Desert! I never expected that, aside from his formidable strength, his alchemy skills would also be so exceptional!"

"You mean his strength is formidable too?" Jia Xing Tian nodded, recalling the youth's overwhelming strength in the desert. Even he might not be able to match him!

At this moment, three women entered. The woman leading them, dressed in green, said, "I can sense that he's here." As the three women approached, they happened to see Xiao Tian refining pills. They did not disturb him. Then the woman in a pale white robe noticed Jia Xing Tian and Fa Ma.

She said to the two women beside her, "I'll go greet them. You two stay here and watch that little bastard! We'll settle accounts with him after he finishes refining the pill. Hmph!" With that, she walked over. These three women were none other than Yun Yun, Lu Man, and Qing Lin.

When Yun Yun and the others returned to the inn, they learned that Xiao Tian was safe, only to find that he had run off again. Yun Yun, who had been searching for him, was furious. Thus, the three women came out to find him. Using the mark on Lu Man's body, they sensed their way to Xiao Tian.

Yun Yun walked upstairs and greeted Jia Xing Tian and Fa Ma. When Fa Ma and Jia Xing Tian saw Yun Yun, they responded in kind. The three then chatted casually for a while.

By then, Xiao Tian had already fused the pill. A moment later, the pill was successfully refined. He walked over, about to call for Fa Ma, when he spotted Yun Yun beside him. Yun Yun was looking at him as well, and for a moment, their eyes met.

Xiao Tian smiled. "Wifey, why are you here?" Yun Yun looked at Xiao Tian's carefree, grinning face. She had already been angry, but now she was even angrier. She leaped down and walked toward Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian was still happily assuming that Yun Yun had missed him after not seeing him for days. Once she reached him, Yun Yun said nothing and dragged Xiao Tian toward a room. "Wifey, why are you in such a hurry? There are so many people watching."

Upon hearing that, Yun Yun first blushed, knowing that this bastard had misunderstood again. Still, she smiled and said, "I have four days' worth of longing to discuss with you properly!"

Hearing Yun Yun's tone, Xiao Tian sensed that something was wrong. It sounded like he was about to be finished, and he immediately wanted to run. After the two entered the room, intermittent crackling sounds rang out from within...
