At Queen Medusa's cold snort, Hun Tianchen and Xiao Yi Xian finally belatedly separated.
Hun Tianchen's face reddened slightly. What was wrong with me? Was it because Queen Medusa had just tempted me? To think I'd make such a bold move on Xiao Yi Xian.
But why didn't Xiao Yi Xian resist at all? I didn't use my cultivation...
For a while, Hun Tianchen did not dare look at Xiao Yi Xian. He could only cough deliberately and say, "Um... the three of you, come out with me for a bit. That way, we can settle everything at once. How about it?"
"Whatever." Queen Medusa's expression turned cold again.
"I don't mind." Xiao Yi Xian's lovely face was still flushed, the redness refusing to fade. Unfortunately, Hun Tianchen did not dare look at her.
"Wherever Young Master goes, Qinglin will follow!" Only the adorable Qinglin would say something like that so earnestly.
"Good. Hun Miesheng, come here."
"What are your orders, Young Master?"
"Have you gathered all the medicinal ingredients I told you to obtain?"
"They've all been gathered, but one Magic Core is still missing." Hun Miesheng looked ashamed, feeling that he had let down Hun Tianchen's trust. He braced himself and said, "The Eighth Rank, near-Ninth Rank Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast you mentioned is simply nowhere to be found. I searched for a long time before finding one Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast that might possibly meet those requirements."
"Couldn't find one?" Hun Tianchen sighed softly.
Eighth- and Ninth-Rank magical beasts were not easy to find. A Seventh Rank one would barely do, but it would not be the best choice.
The best choice would naturally be a Ninth Rank Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. If he used a Magic Core of that grade, he was confident he could instantly raise Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation to the Dou Saint level.
As for the other requirements to cure the Calamity Poison Body, he basically had them all.
Of the three Heavenly Flames, he now possessed the Green Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, and Fallen Heart Flame.
And the Bodhi Transformation Saliva was naturally already in his possession as well.
"Fine. Go bring those three Heavenly Flames over. I have great use for them."
At the mention of this matter, Hun Miesheng immediately complained to Hun Tianchen with a disgruntled expression.
"Young Master, you may not know this, but the people of the Hun Clan have all set their sights on the Heavenly Flames you had me bring back. Those alchemists are even worse—they hound me every day, demanding that I hand over the Heavenly Flames. The most arrogant one is Hun Yao, son of Hun Xuzi. He is already close to becoming a Grade 9 alchemist, and his own cultivation is not low either, at the High-Level Half Saint stage. Once he advances to Dou Saint, he can smoothly advance to a Grade 9 alchemist as well. I truly have no way to deal with them."
Alchemists had always held high status, and the Hun Clan was no exception. Moreover, alchemists occupied an extremely important role in the Hun Clan's plans, so Hun Miesheng did not dare lay a hand on them.
"No matter. Leave this to me." Hun Tianchen's expression turned somewhat sinister. "Since when did they dare set their sights on what belongs to me, Hun Tianchen? I need these Heavenly Flames to cure Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body!"
"You three stay here and get along while cultivating. Once I settle these trivial matters, we'll leave together." Hun Tianchen gave the three women an instruction, then raised his chin at Hun Miesheng. "Lead the way."
"Yes, Young Master!" Hun Miesheng was somewhat excited. Young Master was finally going to deal with those annoying alchemists himself!
After Hun Tianchen left, Xiao Yi Xian and Queen Medusa exchanged a glance and both gave a soft snort. They then sat down where they were to cultivate, neither saying a word to the other.
The Fallen Heart Flame, Sea Heart Flame, and Green Lotus Core Flame were arranged with impeccable neatness in a place abundant with heaven and earth energy. Quite a few alchemists around them stared at the three Heavenly Flames with greedy eyes.
To alchemists, Heavenly Flames were the most important thing of all. Alchemists with Heavenly Flames and alchemists without them were as different as heaven and earth.
Even the most mediocre alchemist, upon obtaining one of these Heavenly Flames, would see a tremendous improvement in their alchemy, and the quality of the elixirs they refined would far surpass those of ordinary people.
Their greed could not be blamed. The allure of Heavenly Flames to alchemists was simply too great.
Seeing Hun Miesheng arrive, the alchemists all rose to their feet and said in displeasure, "Hun Miesheng, when are you going to hand over the Heavenly Flames to us? Don't think that just because you're the Hall Master of the Hall of Souls, you get to keep the Heavenly Flames all to yourself!"
Led by Hun Yao, these alchemists had come here to make trouble, giving Hun Miesheng a terrible headache.
"I've already said it. These Heavenly Flames belong to Young Master. Without Young Master's orders, they absolutely cannot be handed over to anyone else."
"Hmph, Young Master isn't even an alchemist. What use does he have for Heavenly Flames? You might as well give them to us, so we can refine higher-quality elixirs for Young Master to eat like candy."
The moment those words fell, a handsome young man in white descended in front of Hun Miesheng. Standing with his hands behind his back, he swept his gaze over every alchemist present with eyes that seemed to look down upon all living beings.
"What? You people are quite bold, daring to set your sights on what is in my hands?"
The alchemists' hearts trembled. Looking at the handsome young man in white, they realized that he was Hun Tianchen—the Young Clan Leader who had turned the entire Soul Realm upside down several days ago when he broke through to Dou Zun!
The moment Hun Tianchen appeared, the attitudes of these alchemists changed considerably. They were no longer as overbearing as before.
"Young Clan Leader, you should understand just how important Heavenly Flames are to alchemists..."
Before a Grade 7 alchemist could finish speaking, he saw Hun Tianchen summon countless medicinal ingredients with one hand. Then, before everyone's eyes, Hun Tianchen fused them together. Without relying on an alchemy cauldron, he directly forced them to develop with his unique Dou Qi. As they fused, nine-colored Heavenly Tribulation slowly appeared above his head...
The moment he acted, a Nine-Colored, Grade 8 Elixir was born!
Soul Dragon Tearing Heaven Claw. With a casual swipe, Hun Tianchen tore apart the nine-colored Heavenly Tribulation, then grabbed the elixir and viciously hurled it at the person who had spoken.
The elixir shot from Hun Tianchen's hand like a cannonball, smashing into that alchemist's face and sending him flying backward like he had been hit by a car. He flew several hundred meters before crashing down.
Seeing Hun Tianchen refine a Nine-Colored, Grade 8 Elixir as though it were child's play, not a single alchemist dared speak. Their eyes were filled with shock and terror.
How old was he? Not only was his cultivation powerful, but even his alchemy was superior to theirs?
They could not accept such an outcome!
Was someone like this even human? Was he sure he was not some monster?
"Whoever still dares mention wanting these Heavenly Flames, don't blame me if I use your souls as food next time." Hun Tianchen snorted coldly. His Heavenly Realm Great Perfection soul power erupted like a tidal wave, blanketing the area and forcing everyone to their knees, their heads pressed firmly against the ground, unable to move.
"Just so happens, I'm lacking an opportunity to advance my soul to the Emperor Realm. I'd rather not have that opportunity handed to me by you people. Understood?"
Kneeling on the ground, Hun Yao was seized by fear. Only then did he remember the warning his father, Hun Xuzi, had given him.
It was fine to provoke anyone—but never Hun Tianchen. That man was a living calamity!
"W-We understand," Hun Yao said first. The pressure on them immediately vanished.
When they looked up, the three Heavenly Flames, along with Hun Tianchen and Hun Miesheng, had all disappeared. Only then did everyone let out a breath of relief, feeling incredibly fortunate.
Fortunate that they had managed to keep their lives.
