I Want It All!

When he was a few hundred miles from the Inner Academy, Wu Yong suddenly stopped, looking at the pillar of energy light piercing the sky with a thoughtful expression.

"The only alchemist capable of refining pills of this level must be that old ghost, right?"

However, it had nothing to do with Wu Yong; he hadn't felt the Dou Zong barrier at all, and his cultivation speed remained as fast as ever.

As for pills or whatever, he really didn't have any use for them.

Just as Wu Yong was about to fly back, he saw the figure of Su Qian flicker over.

"Great Elder, what brings you here?"

"You must have seen the commotion just now, right?"

Su Qian's expression was grave; an alchemist capable of such a feat was someone he could not afford to take lightly.

Wu Yong nodded. He wasn't blind, and he had no obligation to cover for them, so he pointed toward the location where the light pillar had just dissipated, about a few dozen miles away.

"It was right over there. Isn't it someone from the academy?"

"No."

Su Qian shook his head. The most skilled alchemist in the academy, Elder Huo, who headed the Alchemy Department, wasn't even sure if he could touch the threshold of a sixth-tier alchemist.

Something that could trigger such a phenomenon between heaven and earth had to be at least a top-tier sixth-tier pill.

Hearing Su Qian's explanation, Wu Yong flew over with him.

Su Qian exerted his full perception but found no traces, only the cave that had been artificially excavated for the recent alchemy session.

"Great Elder, why don't you let me try?"

Wu Yong had a sudden thought; he wanted to see if his current soul power could locate that old fellow.

Hearing this, Su Qian stepped aside.

Wu Yong stood suspended in the air, closed his eyes, and pressed a finger to the center of his brow. His incredibly solid soul power surged in all directions like a gale.

Boom!

Feeling this surge of soul power, Su Qian's face revealed shock as he looked at the young man before him in disbelief.

This nearly tangible soul power swept across dozens of miles of heaven and earth; not a single grain of sand escaped, and everything was perceived with absolute clarity.

Yet, Wu Yong still couldn't sense anything unusual, thinking to himself:

A man's reputation is like a tree's shadow; the name of Yao Zunzhe is truly not just empty talk.

Opening his eyes, Wu Yong shook his head slowly at Su Qian.

"I didn't find anything either. Either that person has truly left, or..."

Wu Yong didn't finish his sentence, but Su Qian already understood what he meant.

Su Qian waved his hand and left the area with Wu Yong.

"Let's go. Whether he left or is hiding, if even someone with your soul power couldn't sense him, he must be someone we cannot afford to provoke."

"Soul power as strong as yours is something I have only seen once in my life. It is just a pity that you are not an alchemist; it is truly a shame..."

Su Qian's voice still echoed in the area, but his figure had already vanished.

A long time passed, and there was still no movement in the area.

Inside the Storage Ring, the illusory, aged figure deeply agreed with the last words of this Inner Academy Dou Zong powerhouse.

"It is indeed a pity. He is only half a step away from reaching the realm that countless alchemists dream of, yet this brat happens to have a wind attribute."

Twenty years old, a nine-star Dou Huang, half-step Spirit Realm soul...

Yao Chen was truly envious. Such an outstanding genius could not be matched even by the top bloodlines among those ancient clans!

If this kid had any aptitude for alchemy, he would have dared to take him in as a disciple.

Unfortunately, the attribute was wrong.

Of course, these were just Yao Chen's internal thoughts; right now, he needed this disciple who practiced the Burning Decision even more.

After waiting for a long time with no movement, Yao Chen quietly returned to the Inner Academy with Xiao Yan.

After returning to the Inner Academy with Su Qian, Wu Yong saw that Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan had already finished packing.

Everything that needed to be prepared was ready, and now they were just waiting for Wu Yong, who had gone to scout the path, to return so they could set off.

"A-Yong."

"Is everything ready?"

"Mm!"

"Then let's set off."

The two girls took Wu Yong's hands, one on each side, and left the academy at a speed surpassing the naked eye, flying toward that tranquil West Coast.

Two and a half hours later, the trio, having crossed over a hundred thousand miles, arrived at the West Coast of the Dou Qi Continent.

"I found five or six suitable valleys earlier, so I've decided to occupy all six of them!"

There was no need to pick and choose; as long as he liked them, Wu Yong wouldn't let a single one go.

The two women naturally agreed with Wu Yong's idea.

After all, they were a trio of ruthless bandits; there was no telling how many Magic Beasts had already met their end at their hands, let alone merely occupying a few valleys.

If they wanted to, what would it matter if they occupied all the land within ten thousand miles of this West Coast?

Following Wu Yong as he inspected one valley after another, the eyes of Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan grew brighter and brighter.

Being able to live in seclusion in such a beautiful place was truly a delightful prospect.

Building a house was a very simple matter for Dou Huang experts; as long as one controlled their strength and precision, a three-story building could be constructed in just a few minutes.

The three of them chose the largest valley and decided to build their houses there first.

As for the remaining five valleys, they hadn't decided what to do with them yet, but who knew if they might have a sudden whim in the future?

Following the blueprints they had drawn up earlier and selecting the locations for their respective houses, Wu Yong immediately set off to gather plenty of timber and stone.

Processing the timber was simple: he just cut down the large trees and then used wind to blow away the moisture inside.

The stones were even simpler; with a few swish-swish-swish sounds, wind blades sliced them into neat, uniform blocks.

"Since it's our first time and I lack experience, I gathered a bit extra. If it's not enough, I'll just make another trip."

"I think it should be just about enough, don't you think, Zi Yan?"

"I think so too."

Watching the timber and stone falling neatly from the sky and piling up like a small mountain, the two women felt that these materials would definitely be sufficient.

In fact, there would even be enough to build houses in the other valleys using these materials.

The next moment, a flash of seven-colored light lit up before the three of them.

A stunningly beautiful figure, with only red fabric covering her vital parts, slowly emerged from the seven-colored radiance.

"Master, Mistress, please allow me to serve by your sides."

"Queen Medusa?"

Looking at the woman kneeling on one knee, Little Fairy Doctor was stunned for a moment; she had almost forgotten about this.

She turned to look at Wu Yong and found that he had also slapped his forehead with his palm.

Only then did Wu Yong remember that the beautiful little snake pet by his side was actually Queen Medusa.

"Get up first. You can find a spot for yourself to build a house, as long as it's within this valley."

Little Fairy Doctor exercised her authority as the mistress of the house, mainly because that "Mistress" title from just a moment ago had made her very satisfied with Queen Medusa's conduct.

Queen Medusa glanced at Wu Yong's expression, then quickly moved behind Little Fairy Doctor, clearly recognizing her own position.

After the battle that led to her submission, she clearly remembered that her master had said he was sparing her for the sake of his wife.

In that sense, this Mistress could be considered her savior...
