Trouble in the Snake People Clan
Within the Imperial Capital capital of the Jia Ma Empire.
Inside the magnificent golden hall sat two figures: Empress Yao Ye of the Jia Ma Empire and Jia Xingtian. Jia Xingtian looked at Yao Ye and asked, "Did Fama take Yao Yue to the Alchemist Grand Meeting jointly hosted by the four great empires this year?"
The figure in the golden brocade robe, Yao Ye, sat on the high seat and nodded slightly upon hearing this, saying, "Indeed, the other three great empires have joined forces to hold the Alchemist Tournament at Black Mountain Fortress. I suspect they are preparing to attack our Jia Ma Empire, especially the Chuyun Empire and the Luoyan Empire. According to reports from the border, the Chuyun Empire has mobilized a large number of troops outside Black Mountain Fortress. Moreover, many cultivators from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate within the Chuyun Empire are also appearing at the border!"
"The Luoyan Empire and the Tagor Desert are also bordering each other. I heard that the Luoyan Sect within the Luoyan Empire has also sent many powerful figures into the Tagor Desert. Should we send reinforcements to Black Rock City?"
After Yao Ye finished speaking, she looked directly at Jia Xingtian. At this moment, Jia Xingtian looked much older than before, his complexion was not very good, and his aura was somewhat weak. It seems that the last time his cultivation level dropped sharply, it still had a great impact on Jia Xingtian.
Jia Xingtian looked at Yao Ye with somewhat cloudy eyes and said, "The empire has been in your hands for some time now. You must learn to make your own decisions. Your great-grandfather is no longer capable of doing anything for the Imperial Family. However, I will set off for Black Mountain Fortress immediately. This will be the last time I help the Imperial Family!"
Jia Xingtian's words puzzled Yao Ye. She looked at Jia Xingtian and asked, "What is Great-Grandpa hoping to do on his trip to Black Mountain Fortress this time?"
Jia Xingtian shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry about that. I hope my old face is still of some use!"
After hearing Yao Ye didn't ask any more questions. After all, since his great-grandfather had said so, he naturally wouldn't reveal what he wanted to do.
Inside a room at Black Mountain Fortress, Zi Yan sat on the bed, swinging her slender white legs, and looked listlessly at Cai Lin, who was leaning against the window with a somewhat languid Cai Lin. "Sister Cai Lin," she said, "Xiao Yu went to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting. It's so boring. Why don't we go out and have some fun?"
Cai Lin withdrew her gaze from the distance and looked at Zi Yan with a slight smile, "What? Are you planning to rob the Black Mountain Pharmacy again?"
In the past few days, Zi Yan has been using her special sense for rare medicinal herbs to search for precious herbs in the Black Mountain Pharmacy. Then, she and Cai Lin stole a lot of herbs from the pharmacy's Medicine Stockpile, which made the pharmacy owner of the Black Mountain Pharmacy very unhappy. These owners, who are usually full of bad ideas, have now suffered a great loss at Zi Yan's hands!
Ever since the herbs from the Black Mountain Pharmacy went missing, everyone in the Black Mountain Fortress has been overjoyed. As time goes by, the herbs from the Black Mountain Pharmacy continue to go missing, and it's the only one in the entire Black Mountain Fortress Black Mountain Pharmacy's losing herbs. Everyone knows that someone is taking revenge on the Black Mountain Pharmacy.
Black Mountain Pharmacy had taken some measures, but these anti-theft measures were completely ineffective in front of Zi Yan and Cai Lin. In the end, it was only after Black Mountain Pharmacy voluntarily handed over a few medicinal herbs that Zi Yan let them go.
Now that Zi Yan had some free time, she also became bored. Just as Cai Lin Cai Lin was about to speak, a seven-colored snake scale suddenly appeared on Cai Lin's smooth forehead, emitting a faint colored light.
After the appearance of this Seven-Colored Snake Scale, Cai Lin's expression suddenly turned icy cold. She gently stroked the Seven-Colored Snake Scale with her slender hand. This was a wisp of her soul that she had left behind in the Soul Altar of the Snake People Clan. She would only be summoned by her people when the Snake People Clan were in danger. This was the first time she had been summoned by her people in all her years with the Snake People Clan!
"Sister Cai Lin, what's wrong?" Zi Yan noticed Cai Lin's face turn icy cold and knew something was wrong, so she asked.
Cai Lin looked at Zi Yan and said, "Something happened to the Snake People Clan. I have to go back. You stay here and wait for Xiao Yu. After the Alchemist Tournament, tell Xiao Yu to come directly to the Snake People Clan to find me!"
Zi Yan frowned slightly and said, "Sister Cai Lin, why don't you take me with you? I'm bored anyway, and I might be able to help out. Besides, we don't know when Xiao Yu will be back!"
Cai Lin glanced at Zi Yan and pondered for a moment, but quickly said, "Alright, in that case, you'll come with me to the Snake People Clan!"
After leaving a scroll for Xiao Yu, Cai Lin took Zi Yan and left.
Xiao Yu, who was still in the square, was unaware of what was happening on Cai Lin's side. At this moment, he had already begun the second round of alchemy. On the stone platform were the medicinal herbs and pill formula he had drawn. It was a low-grade fifth-rank pill. Although the pill was good, he still gave up on refining the Fifth Grade Pills and went straight to refining the Sixth Grade Pills!
None of the people present were Sixth Grade Alchemist. If he were to refine Sixth Grade Pills now, how astonishing that would be! He could then use his status as Sixth Grade Alchemist to recruit more alchemists to join the Underworld!
The same Medicine Cauldron was still there, but this time Xiao Yu was even more focused on refining the medicine, after all, it was Sixth Grade Pills. Yan Xixi and Huo Yue'er, who were beside Xiao Yu Xiao Yu, were seeing him so serious for the first time, and they were immediately taken aback!
"Why does this guy look so serious? Is he going to refine a high-grade fifth-rank pill?" Yan Xixi thought to herself.
The four great empires naturally each had their own methods. Before attending the Alchemist Tournament, they had already obtained some high-level Alchemist Tournament.
Yao Yue glanced around and sighed inwardly, "Alas, this alchemist competition has truly shown me what it means to be outmatched and have a higher level of skill!"
Although Yao Yue was relatively young among these people, she was extremely impressed by their alchemy skills, which was not only due to their talent but also their hard work!
After taking a deep breath, Yao Yue waved her slender hand, and the Medicine Cauldron immediately appeared on the stone platform. This time, she chose to refine a low-grade fifth-rank pill, which could be considered a breakthrough for her!
Boom!
Xiao Yu was the first to summon flames to begin refining pills, followed by the genius alchemists from the other three great empires and Huo Yue'er. When they summoned their flames, the same scene as yesterday occurred: all the flames were noticeably less powerful than usual, and they were slightly tilted towards Xiao Yu, which annoyed and evoked jealousy in many people!
Xiao Yu methodically tossed the medicinal herbs from his Storage Ring into the Medicine Cauldron. This time, Xiao Yu chose the Sixth Grade Pills pill, the Crimson Soul Pill, which is very beneficial for alchemists to cultivate their souls!
