Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 166 Set off to the desert!
Half a month later.

Yunlan Sect, Alchemy Hall.

As the most powerful force in the Jia Ma Empire, the Yun Lan Sect's Alchemy Hall is even comparable to the Alchemist Guild stationed in the center of the imperial capital to some extent.

The reason is simple. The best alchemists in the Gama Empire are not in the Alchemist Guild, but work in the Yunlan Sect. With this gimmick, even though the Alchemist Guild has extremely rich resources as support, it is inevitable that a large number of talents will be lost.

Dan Wang Guhe.

This is a household name in the Jia Ma Empire. Its deterrent power is even above that of the Dou Huang strongmen. Its alchemy skills have reached the middle level of the sixth grade, which is unparalleled in the Jia Ma Empire. Countless people are vying for his favor, and it is difficult to get a pill even at an extremely high price.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the presence of Dan Wang Gu He as a guest elder in the Yunlan Sect that the power of its Alchemy Hall has been able to develop to such an extent that it has even slightly overshadowed the Alchemist Guild.

In the hall, a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes rushed in, glanced around, and finally locked his eyes on a corner where many ancient books were piled up.

In the corner, a middle-aged man in a white robe was flipping through information in an ancient book. His brows were furrowed, and his movements showed an extremely focused look, as if he was completely unaware of the noise coming from the hall.

"Teacher, all the seniors are now gathered outside the hall. When do you plan to leave?" Seeing this, the young man first slowed down his pace, then bowed respectfully, and said while suppressing his excitement.

Hearing the words of the young man in elegant clothes, the middle-aged man closed the book in his hand and said calmly, "Liu Ling, if you don't change your impetuous temper, you may not be able to achieve a good result in the upcoming Alchemist Conference."

The young man called Liu Ling froze when he heard this, then lowered his head and said helplessly, "Yes."

"It will take us a few days or even half a month to obtain the strange fire this time. The practice of alchemy can only be mastered by you." As if seeing the slight dissatisfaction in Liu Ling's eyes, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shook his head.
"The Jia Ma Empire is full of talented people. If you want to take the top spot, it's not a sure thing with your current level."

Liu Ling said helplessly, "Teacher, I am your Dan King's disciple. Apart from that little girl from the royal family, there is no one in the empire who can compare with me. Even that little girl is too young to be honest. How can her skills compare with mine?"

It is obvious that the person who can suppress Liu Ling, the best alchemist of the younger generation, is this gentle-looking middle-aged man, who is known as the strongest alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, Dan Wang Gu He.

Seeing his disciple so confident, Gu He stopped talking and waved his hand, saying, "It's better to be cautious. Once I obtain the strange fire from Queen Medusa, I can use secret techniques to separate a small flame to help you refine the medicine. I don't know the specific effect, but it will definitely be no worse than the royal family's beast fire."

What is strange fire?
Even if a tiny spark is released, it is probably far superior to the ordinary fire used in alchemy. Even the beast fire with a similar effect does not have the terrifying aura of the strange fire!
When the strange fire appears, all other fires submit. This is not just talk, but a real thing. It is the dream that every alchemist pursues throughout his life!
As expected, Liu Ling was overjoyed after hearing this and hurriedly bowed again, saying, "Thank you, Teacher! With the help of the strange fire, I will definitely take first place in the Alchemist Conference!"

"Okay, you can leave now. This search for the strange fire is already very dangerous. If you can't calm your mind, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain anything even with the help of many powerful people." Gu He put the book aside and said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Looking at Liu Ling's respectful retreat, Gu He's eyes flashed, and then he stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

He had been waiting for the news of the strange fire for too long. Apart from helping his apprentice, improving his own cultivation was the most crucial thing.

Absorbing the strange fire would not only allow him, who had been immersed in alchemy for many years but neglected his cultivation, to have a chance to advance to the Douhuang level, but it would also potentially loosen the bottleneck of being a sixth-grade alchemist and allow him to reach the seventh-grade level.

The value of a seventh-grade alchemist, even in Zhongzhou, is not to be underestimated. Many of the continent's top forces will treat him as a guest of honor.
Because of this, he must obtain this strange fire!

Outside the hall, several figures sat on either side, their clothing of varying colors. Their expressions hinted at a certain impatience, yet they all exuded a terrifying aura. At a glance, the lowest among them seemed to possess the cultivation of a mid-level Dou Wang. The sheer opulence of this display was unparalleled throughout the Jiama Empire.

Upon seeing the figure slowly emerging from the depths of the hall, a muscular warrior's eyes lit up and he laughed heartily, "Lao He, you're finally out! I've been waiting for you all this time. You're truly a generous person."

This person seemed to have a good relationship with Gu He. After hearing these rather impolite words, Gu He did not get angry, but just smiled helplessly.

"I was just explaining some things to my disciples, which delayed me a bit. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"Hehe, what could be more important than the strange fire that you've been thinking about so much? What's more, Sect Master Yun is here, can you let her wait?" The burly man winked at Gu He and couldn't help grinning.

"Yanshi, that's enough."

A clear and melodious voice sounded, with a hint of nobility that was hard to conceal. Yan Shi, who had been joking without restraint, immediately swallowed his saliva and sat back in his seat awkwardly, causing another strong man to cast a gloating look at him.

Giving the man a fierce look, Yan Shi coughed lightly and said, "Old He, tell me when we're leaving. We've been waiting in Yunlan Sect for quite some time now. This trip to the desert will probably take quite a while, so it's better not to delay any longer."

Gu He glanced at the black-robed figure with a slightly strange look, then subtly withdrew his gaze. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "The Tagor Desert is the territory of the Serpent People after all. Queen Medusa is so powerful that even Sect Master Yun might find it difficult to contend with her. If the talks break down, we might have to prepare for action."

Everyone nodded without saying anything. After all, they had been more or less prepared for these things after hearing how generous the reward was.

The elixirs from a sixth-grade alchemist are not that easy to obtain.

"With our current manpower, I'm afraid we're not qualified enough to negotiate head-on with Queen Medusa. So, while you were away, I recruited another strong man to join us. It should be almost time for her retreat to end. We can set off in a day at most."

"Still hiring?"

Yan Shi was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "The one from the Mu family? Or that old fellow Miter? These two are not the kind of people who would move away. How much did you pay to hire them?"

Gu He smiled helplessly and said, "I have certainly considered those two, but it's true as you said. Even if it costs a huge price, those two are unwilling to leave their territory."

Seeing Gu He's continued prevarication, Yan Shi frowned and said impatiently, "He's so mysterious. This guy has such a grand ceremony. Not only do we have to wait, but even Sect Master Yun has to wait as well."

"I have no objection." Yun Yun suddenly spoke again, causing Yan Shi and another strong man to look at her in surprise, and then they looked at each other in surprise.

Sect Master Yun has no objection?
When did such an existence appear in the Gama Empire?
Yan Shi finally couldn't help himself and said, "Lao He, you didn't find that old man Hai Bodong, did you? Apart from him, I don't know who else can have such a grand ceremony."

Gu He was a little troubled by Yan Shi's continuous questions. Just when he was about to find a way to explain to him, a figure also wrapped in a black robe gradually appeared at the edge of the hall.

She moved with light lotus steps, and even the loose black robe she wore could not conceal her charming curves. Her reserved and calm temperament was as ethereal and mysterious as the sea of ​​clouds. While making people feel awe at her temperament, they could not help but want to explore her.

A gentle and rhythmic sound like a flowing spring rang out, breaking the sudden silence in the hall.
"Yunlan Sect, Shuang."
