Medusa's Letter, Gains, and News of a Heavenly Flame

A letter, a letter from Medusa.

Upon arriving in Yan City, Xiao Ding personally handed it over to him.

He hadn't contacted Medusa for a long time, and naturally missed her.

He had only read half of the letter when the events that had just transpired in the city occurred. Now that he was back, he naturally wanted to finish reading the letter.

Inside the main hall of Tian Shu, Xiao Yan closed the letter in his hand.

He had read the entire contents of the letter.

The first half is the most crucial, describing Xiao Yi Xian's recent condition: her cultivation growth has slowed down, her breathing has gradually stabilized, and she seems to be about to wake up.

It was precisely because he knew this information that he was so fearless.

Having fused with the Nether Poison Flame and gained control of the Woeful Poison Body, Xiao Yi Xian's strength is undoubtedly greater than in the original story; what is the Lion Underworld Sect compared to that?

Of course, his own strength is his greatest source of confidence. With many tricks and trump cards at his disposal, he is not afraid of the Dou Venerate of the Lion Underworld Sect.

Especially when it comes to Fusion Heavenly Flame, if he were to recklessly detonate it, even Semi-Saint would be in serious trouble, though he himself wouldn't fare much better.

Getting back to the main point, Medusa's letter naturally couldn't have only mentioned Xiao Yi Xian.

The second half of the story returns to everyday life, with Medusa sharing some recent updates with him.

For example, the Snake-People Tribe have completely conquered the Luo Yan Empire, renamed it the Snake-People Empire, and allowed most of the Snake-People to settle there.

The Snake-People Tribe had no attachment whatsoever to the Tagor Desert.

In addition, Medusa also used her own strength and the power she held over the Heavenly Snake Mansion Heavenly Snake Mansion Master to bring it under her control as a subordinate force.

This inevitably led to battles, many deaths at Medusa's hands, and undeniably immense hardship.

However, Medusa was only mentioned briefly, without much explanation. Instead, a great deal of ink was devoted to describing her and Qing Lin's improvement.

With the abundant resources provided by the Heavenly Snake Mansion, she directly improved her cultivation by Three-Star, becoming a High-Star Dou Zong. Her strength increased dramatically, and she even boasted that no Dou Venerate could stop her.

Qing Lin obtained the inheritance of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils from the Heavenly Snake Mansion. With the inheritance of both the Snake-People Tribe and the Heavenly Snake Mansion in hand, her cultivation improved rapidly. Relying on the resources of the Heavenly Snake Mansion and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils's ability to absorb the cultivation of contracted beasts and replenish itself, her cultivation has now reached the Dou Wang level, a rapid advancement.

At the end of the letter, Medusa mentioned that she would wait for Xiao Yi Xian to awaken, and then bring Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to the Black-Corner Region to see him.

Xiao Yan smiled as he carefully put away the letter, his heart already filled with anticipation.

It's not just because of longing, but also because the arrival of Xiao Yi Xian, a high-level combatant, will inevitably accelerate his resource gathering speed, which means accelerating his growth.

With the support of Xiao Yi Xian, Tian Shu will not be limited to the Black-Corner Region, but will be able to expand its influence to the entire Northwest Continent.

Compared to Central Plains Northwest Continent is barren, but no matter how barren it is, it is still such a vast region.

If all the resources of the Northwest Continent were integrated, it would be entirely possible to support an Eighth-Rank Alchemist and a Peak Dou Venerate expert.

So why can't it be him?

As his thoughts raced, Xiao Ding had already led Jia Xingtian and the others, along with his elderly father Xiao Zhan, to the main hall.

Xiao Yan set up a secondary seat next to the main seats and invited Xiao Zhan to sit there. The others then sat down in order of rank, from left to right.

Next, Xiao Yan briefly inquired about the development of their respective forces.

At the Imperial Family level, the Jia Ma Empire completely escaped its previous awkward situation. The Luo Yan Empire was conquered by the Snake-People Tribe and renamed the Snake-People Empire, and announced the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations with the Jia Ma Empire.

Upon learning the news, the two old rivals, the Mulan Empire and the Chu Yun Empire, completely ceased hostilities.

Especially in the Chu Yun Empire, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, which was in power, was already terrified of Xiao Yan after the Poison Sect incident. Knowing that the Jia Ma Empire was under Xiao Yan's protection, they dared not act recklessly at all.

The Mulan Empire was originally the weakest country besides the Jia Ma Empire. Three peak Dou Emperor could form an array to contend with Dou Zong, but in the end, they were no match for a true Dou Zong.

Chu Yun Empire was the first to withdraw from the campaign against the Jia Ma Empire, they naturally dared not provoke the Jia Ma Empire again, and even had to worry about becoming the target of the campaign themselves.

As the empire grew stronger, the Mittel and Xiao Clan Mittel Family, who were situated within it, also prospered.

The Xiao Clan was responsible for providing the Body Tempering Medicinal Bath and the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, Mittel Family was responsible for the auction and transportation.

The two families joined forces and sold their products from the Jia Ma Empire to the Snake-People Empire, and then expanded their operations to even more empires.

Because Body Tempering Medicinal Bath and Foundation Building Spirit Liquid are legitimate and exclusive cultivation resources, if you don't use them, your strength will really be caught up by other empires. But if you do use them, the money will be earned by the Xiao Clan family and the Mittel Family.

With this combination of strategies, the Xiao Clan and the Mittel Family have experienced phenomenal growth.

Just how wealthy have they become?

All that can be said is that the gift Xiao Zhan, the old father, brought to visit Xiao Yan this time was the corpse of a Tier 7 Magical Beast, which he had won at an auction in a great empire.

After understanding the situation and exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Yan then ordered someone to take his elderly father Xiao Zhan, and Jia Xingtian and the others away for resettlement.

Soon, only he and Xiao Ding remained in the main hall.

Xiao Yan inquired about the achievements of Tian Shu from its inception to the present.

Xiao Ding was extremely intelligent; after a moment's thought, he revealed all the information Xiao Yan wanted to know.

"The Alliance has gained two things so far."

The first item is tributes from affiliated forces, such as the Eight-Fan Sect and the Earth Flame Sect.

The second item is the Vientiane Auction House. Because many forces want to obtain Black Card to participate in the auctions, the items at the auction house sell extremely well. Thanks to this income, the Alliance has accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.

Xiao Ding took out a mid-grade Storage Ring: "As per your request, Alliance Leader, we have set aside a portion of the funds to maintain the normal operation of the force, and the rest will be used to purchase fire-attribute rare and Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches, Beast Flame, magical beast blood essence, Heavenly Flames, and so on."

These are all the items acquired.

Xiao Yan took the Storage Ring Storage Ring found that a large number of resources were neatly arranged inside.

A large number of fire-attribute herbs and fruits, a dozen or so Sixth-Rank Beast Flame, three Seventh-Rank Beast Flame, and the Heart Blood Essence a dozen or so magical beasts, all at the Sixth Rank or Seventh Rank energy level.

Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction. This was enough for him to raise his cultivation level by two to Three-Star.

"Also, through the transaction, I obtained some information about the Heavenly Flames. The information says that there seems to be a Heavenly Flames in the area of the Northwest Continent that borders the Central Plains. Because it is too far away, it has not been confirmed yet." Xiao Ding then took out a map and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing about the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan immediately perked up and took the map to browse through it.

On a map clearly showing the terrain of the Northwest Continent, a location is marked with a red circle and a few small words written next to it.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yan realized that the small characters clearly identified it as the name of the Heavenly Flames.

Yin-Yang Dual Flame!
