Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils Upgrade

The Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron rocked without stop. Even the Great Elder was caught somewhat off guard by this sudden development.

"This..." The Second Elder formed a hand seal and instinctively looked toward the Great Elder, his meaning obvious: You insisted on adding it. What now?

The Great Elder frowned slightly, his expression extremely solemn. "The Seven-Colored Scales and Devouring Sky Head considers itself the sacred clan among snakes. Its bloodline must be extraordinarily noble, so it instinctively rejects the aura of other snake clans."

The Third Elder spoke up. "Then what should we do?"

Maintaining that mysterious beast flame to refine the Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste already consumed an enormous amount of Dou Qi. Adding a drop of Seven-Colored Scales and Devouring Sky Head blood essence now naturally placed immense pressure on the elders.

"Fortunately, the materials from the Eight Great Tribes have weathered the ages, and the beast consciousness within them has long faded. The main issue is still the Seven-Colored Scales and Devouring Sky Head's rejection. Force it down!"

After speaking, the Great Elder was the first to change his hand seal. As Dou Qi flowed in, an invisible force began pressing down upon the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron.

With the Great Elder's intervention, the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron's rocking weakened somewhat, but it still would not stop.

Seeing this, the other three elders sighed softly and likewise changed their hand seals, sending their power toward the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron.

"Something seems to have gone wrong during the refining process..." Hua She Er's expression tightened as she watched the situation, concern coloring her voice.

"Huh? It isn't going smoothly?" Mo Yun bared his teeth. He had originally thought the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron's shaking was normal. So there really was a problem.

"The raw materials for the Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste should have been eight ingredients. The Great Elder added one more at the end, so that must have caused the medicinal ingredients to repel one another," Hua She Er guessed.

Driven by curiosity, Mo Yun could not help peering carefully toward the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron.

Within his green eyes, three flower patterns emerged beside his pupils.

Yet even with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Mo Yun still could not clearly see the situation inside the cauldron. The walls of the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron seemed to possess an ability that blocked soul power, making it difficult to peer within.

However, just as Mo Yun did his utmost to investigate what lay inside the cauldron, the runes on its walls slowly began to flicker with a faint glow. But with the beast flame currently covering the entire cauldron, no one noticed this phenomenon.

More and more runes lit up, each giving off a faint radiance.

The already tall and heavy Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron now gave off an especially solid and weighty impression.

Its swaying gradually weakened, then slowly stabilized.

"Did it succeed?" Seeing the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron settling down, the Second Elder could not help letting out a long breath.

"It seems the hardest step has passed. The materials have begun to fuse together. We only need to complete the final tempering!" The Great Elder relaxed somewhat as well.

"Great Elder, don't add ingredients randomly in the future. Refining this thing consumes far too much Dou Qi. If something really went wrong, my Dou Qi wouldn't be enough to sustain it," the Third Elder complained bitterly.

"Enough... stop saying useless things. Who knows when the next refinement will be? You might not even live until then!" the Great Elder snapped irritably.

The Third Elder: "..."

As the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron gradually calmed, the nine ingredients inside began to slowly merge. The process continued for another ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the beast flame around the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron seemed almost sentient as it slowly weakened and went out.

The Four Great Elders rose and walked to the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron. At the same time, they struck out with their palms, fiercely slamming them against its surface.

With a dull hum from the cauldron, a small lump of black sludge flew out from within.

The Great Elder seized the chance to open a tiny wooden box. The black, viscous substance fell neatly into it.

From the moment that black sludge left the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron, the gazes of the tribal chiefs remained locked upon it, with no shortage of greed among them.

With everything complete, the elders stopped supplying Dou Qi to the Ten Thousand Snake Cauldron and took several pills to restore their Dou Qi from their respective Storage Rings.

After a brief silence, some of the Four Great Elders' Dou Qi had recovered, and only then did they walk over to Mo Yun.

The Great Elder said to Mo Yun, "This is the Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste... Since Seven-Colored Scales and Devouring Sky Head blood essence was added, it would be more appropriate to call it the Nine Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste now."

"Close your eyes. This old man will apply it to them. Absorb it for one hour, and that will be enough!"

Mo Yun was now able to examine the Heavenly Snake Paste from close up. It had not looked like much to begin with, but on closer inspection, there was only enough for about two fingernails.

He became even more curious and expectant about how much this could improve the power of his Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

After Mo Yun slowly closed his eyes, the Great Elder dipped two fingers into the small wooden box, coating them with the Heavenly Snake Paste. With a swift stroke before Mo Yun's face, all the paste fell from his fingers and spread evenly over Mo Yun's closed eyes.

Mo Yun keenly sensed that something had been applied to his eyelids. At first, it was cool and rather comfortable.

But after only a few minutes, the cool sensation gradually faded, replaced by a burning, scorching pain.

Under that intense pain, Mo Yun could not help wanting to wipe the Heavenly Snake Paste from his eyes.

As though he had expected this, the Great Elder directly summoned chains of Dou Qi and tightly bound Mo Yun.

The Second Elder spoke at the same time. "Brat, endure it. Opportunities like this aren't something you can enjoy whenever you want. Don't waste it!"

At first, Mo Yun thought the burning pain would be like the cool sensation and last only a few minutes. But once it began, there was no sign of it weakening. Instead, it grew increasingly intense. The fierce pain made his body tremble slightly, while beads of sweat fell one after another from his forehead.

After the burning pain came an extreme swelling in both eyeballs. Some indescribable power seemed to pass through his eyelids and fuse into his eyes.

This process hurt even more, making Mo Yun cry out despite himself.

Although Mo Yun shouted loudly, whether it was the chiefs of the Eight Great Tribes or Hua She Er, their faces remained filled with yearning. They seemed more than willing to endure such pain in exchange for the chance to receive the Heavenly Snake Paste's enhancement.

Over an hour later.

"That's enough. The Heavenly Snake Paste has been completely absorbed. You can open your eyes now!" said the Great Elder, removing the Dou Qi restraints from Mo Yun at the same time.

Hearing this, Mo Yun, who had lowered his head because of the pain, slowly raised it. His opened eyes were still green, but compared with before, they were much clearer. The three flower patterns in his eyes had become sharper, their lines thicker, and the three flowers were now linked together by a circle.

Looking upon the world again, Mo Yun felt that everything had become much cleaner and clearer, while his perception had also grown far broader.

Then a familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
