Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens.

Chapter 63 The mindset of a ninth-grade alchemist is still too difficult to understand.

Bang bang bang!
Guhe was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed three more times.

"Thank you for your permission, Master!"

Xiao Yan: "…………"

Teacher, are you afraid of being taken advantage of by your apprentice, so you're making me take the blame?
"Heh heh heh, have you all finished talking? Do you think my snake-people are all alone?!"

A sinister voice rang out, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, and the faces of everyone in the Gama Empire turned deathly pale.

Four terrifying auras pressed down like four towering mountains, making it hard to breathe.

Four aged figures slowly emerged from the horizon, their withered faces covered with snake scales, and their turbid eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty red light.

"Four peak Dou Huangs?!" Yun Yun's delicate body trembled slightly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Those four old women were the four elders of the Snake-People tribe. Apart from Queen Medusa, their existence represented the foundation of the Snake-People tribe.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from afar, and countless snake-man warriors surged in like a black tide, their scales gleaming with a cold light, surrounding the people of the Gama Empire.

"Kill these guys!!" the four elders roared simultaneously, their sharp voices piercing the night sky like a death knell.

Their withered, skeletal arms swung out suddenly, and the surrounding air seemed to fall silent.

Gu He's eyes widened in disbelief: "Have you short-tailed snakes gone mad? You actually dare to fight a ninth-grade alchemist?!"

The four elders laughed maniacally, their voices filled with despair and madness: "Queen Medusa is dead, so what difference is there between my snake-people race and our extermination?!"

"Not to mention he only has soul power and can't draw on the energy of heaven and earth. Even if he kills us all, I don't believe his soul won't suffer any damage!"

Before the words were even finished, the entire scene was instantly enveloped in a strong stench of blood, and a racial war was about to break out.

"Haha, you guys are really something."

But at this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, his clear laughter standing out in the grim atmosphere.

Then, he looked at the four old women of the snake-people tribe:

"Who said Queen Medusa is dead?!"

The moment Xiao Yan finished speaking, everyone seemed to be frozen in place, and the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

The aura of Queen Medusa had long since dissipated; was this young man merely bluffing?

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, who slowly took out a small, seven-colored snake from his robes.

The little snake, its body shimmering with dreamlike seven-colored light, was currently sleeping in Xiao Yan's hand.

Upon seeing the seven-colored snake, the four elders' cloudy eyes instantly blazed with wild joy, their hoarse voices trembling uncontrollably:
"A seven-colored, sky-piercing python?!"

"Queen Medusa has successfully evolved!"

"Our snake-people race will finally no longer have to stay in this Tagor Desert!!"

The Seven-Colored Sky-Piercing Python, when fully evolved, can rival a Dou Sheng!
As long as Queen Medusa lives, the rise of the Serpent People is inevitable!
A scream of ecstasy ripped through the silence, and the elders trembled as they nearly lunged forward.

However, the next second, Xiao Yan unleashed a chilling soul pressure, and the seven-colored snake was instantly enveloped by Xiao Yan's soul power.

"What are you doing? Stop!"

The elderly women panicked and stopped in their tracks.

The moment Xiao Yan made a thought, the evolved Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python juvenile, the future hope of the Snake-Human race, would instantly turn into a pile of corpses!
Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Now, the lifeline of the Snake-People race is entirely in my hands. With a single thought, the future of your Snake-People race will be over!"

A slight smile appeared on his lips:
"I'd like to exchange something with you."

Upon hearing this, the four elders of the snake-people immediately bowed and scraped, their faces fawning:
“My lord, everything is negotiable, everything is negotiable. As long as His Majesty can return Queen Medusa, we, the entire Snake People, will offer up all our wealth.”

What they said wasn't false. Queen Medusa had evolved into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. As long as she didn't die, she could advance to the Dou Sheng realm. The wealth of the entire Snake-People race now was just a drop in the ocean compared to what they had back then.

"Hehe, alright then," Xiao Yan chuckled upon hearing this.

Hearing this laughter, although they had expected it, the four elders of the snake-people still felt a chill in their hearts, fearing that he would ask for an exorbitant amount.

Everyone held their breath, and then Xiao Yan slowly spoke:

"Next, hand over all the storage rings of the entire snake-people race. I want 400,000 storage rings."

"........."

Dead silence. Utterly dead silence.

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, everyone fell silent, except for Yao Lao, who showed a knowing smile.

Although the snake-people elders maintained their fawning smiles, their facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.

The people of the Gama Empire were also stunned, their faces twitching.

They thought Xiao Yan was going to make exorbitant demands, asking for an astronomical sum of money...

The result was just... a storage ring?
Looking at Xiao Yan speaking with a serious expression, Gu He, who had just become a disciple, was speechless with his mouth agape and a complicated expression.

When Yao Yan demanded 400,000 rings, everyone thought he was just playing a trick on Gu He.

Looking at Xiao Yan's calm face, everyone suddenly realized that this young man really needed 400,000 storage rings!

He really wants 400,000 storage rings!!!
No way... this is insane... what would a normal person need so many storage rings for?!

Are they going to use them to hold sand from the Tagor Desert?!
Or is his teacher planning to switch careers and become a transporter?

No matter how hard they thought about it, they couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation...

It's probably still the world of ninth-grade alchemists; it's too hard for mortals to understand...

Everyone was silent.

…………

……

Let's rewind to an hour later.

Inside the Zhutian Pavilion, Xu Qing saw the moment he agreed to receive the guest.

Among the strands of fishing line cast out, the one belonging to the world of Battle Through the Heavens coalesced into a point of light.

Then, the space rippled slightly, and Xiao Yan and Yao Lao appeared.

Xiao Yan appeared with a face full of complaints:
"Phew, it's all your fault, teacher. You inexplicably took on a disciple."

The old apothecary beside him chuckled:

"Hehe, silly boy, that's not how it works. How long would it take just the two of us to collect all these storage rings?"

"You take that old bastard under your wing, and then your teacher will propose marriage to Yunzhi's family on your behalf. Wouldn't that be a lot of help for nothing?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly waved his hand and said:
"Teacher, please don't talk nonsense. Yunzhi and I have nothing going on."

Upon hearing this, the old doctor glanced at him sideways and said:
"Hehe, this brat is trying to fool his teacher. You two are practically staring at each other with such intense eyes."

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Xiao Yan quickly changed the subject:

"Never mind, teacher, we're here to buy things, let's stop talking now."

Xu Qing, who was watching the show from the sidelines, heard this and said:

"You can continue."

Upon hearing Xu Qing speak, the old apothecary immediately straightened his expression and looked up at Xu Qing, saying:

"Master Xu, it's been a long time. I'm sorry you had to see me like this."

"That's not true," Xu Qing smiled. "Did you two bring enough storage rings with you when you returned?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Not yet."

That's a storage ring worth at least hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions.

That's equivalent to tens of billions, even trillions of gold coins!

Although it ruined all the storage rings of the Serpent People, it was only a few tens of thousands of rings.

According to Yao Lao, a low-level Heavenly Rank combat skill only costs a little over 10 billion gold coins.

Even if Yao Lao advanced to the Heavenly Realm Soul stage, it would still be very difficult for him to obtain so many storage rings, let alone the Snake-People race.
