Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 105 Alchemy

Beneath the ancient and weathered stone pillars are carved countless hardships of the Snake People, commemorating the pioneering journey of their predecessors—a memory the Snake People will never forget.

"Master Lin Feng, this is the palace of the Snake-People. What do you think?"

The queen, rarely seen in public, was strolling outside, even circling around two humans—no, sensing the aura of the little girl in white. The many snake-people were astonished. This little girl, who appeared human, emanated the aura of a demonic beast.

Looking at the smiling snake-man elders beside them, the snake-men felt their brains couldn't keep up. Just who were these two? Why did the snake-men tribe treat them with such respect? Meanwhile, the other snake-man chieftains returned to their respective tribes to guard the royal city.

"As expected of the royal city of the Serpent People, as soon as I entered, I felt a vast and desolate aura rushing towards me. If an ordinary Grand Master were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to muster even a trace of fighting spirit."

With a soft laugh, Queen Medusa, now without her veil, was even more captivating, leaving Lin Feng momentarily stunned.

"snort!"

Seeing Lin Feng's appearance, Zi Yan, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but let out a soft snort to express her dissatisfaction.

After giving Zi Yan a strange look, Lin Feng addressed Queen Medusa.

"Your Majesty, please arrange a private room." The ingredients for the Breakthrough Pill were written down and handed to Queen Medusa. "These are the main ingredients for the Breakthrough Pill. As for other pills, if there is any need to refine them, I can refine them as long as Your Majesty agrees to the following condition."

"Oh? Master Lin Feng, please speak freely."

"This young lady, Zi Yan, may cause quite a bit of trouble these days. I hope the Queen can forgive her!"

"Hmph, you ungrateful Lin Feng! I went to all this trouble to save you, and you dare to speak ill of me like that? I'm never speaking to you again!"

Miss Ziyan, who had been pretending to look around while secretly eavesdropping, was immediately displeased upon hearing this. She put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Lin Feng, as if she would teach him a lesson if he didn't give her an explanation.

"This is enough pills for you for three months. Don't wander around during this time; there are some people in this area that even I don't want to mess with!"

Handing an enormous jade bottle to Zi Yan, and seeing her delighted expression, Lin Feng's mind flashed with images of a group of dark figures, as if those evil chains were right before his eyes.

"Relax, relax, when have I ever caused trouble!"

Zi Yan, who had just received the jade bottle, waved her hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned.

"This request is nothing, Master Lin Feng, please rest assured." Queen Medusa was taken aback, having originally thought Lin Feng would ask for an exorbitant amount, but she didn't expect his condition to be so simple.

"Could it be that he... he... towards me?"

Although she was thinking about something strange, Her Majesty the Queen's expression remained unchanged; she simply nodded slightly.

After a few turns, Queen Medusa addressed a snake-man who had suddenly appeared.

"Prepare a superior secret room for Master Lin Feng, and take out all the medicinal herbs listed above and send them into the secret room." After hesitating for a moment, he went to summon Commander Hua She'er, saying that he had something to instruct her on.

The dark, secluded chamber, decorated in the style of snake people, was devoid of the characteristic stench of snake people, and even had a touch of coolness.

"Click."

Lin Feng didn't have to wait long before a snake-woman with a fair complexion and a voluptuous figure slowly opened the stone door.

"Master Lin Feng, I am Hua She'er." After bowing slightly, the female commander, whose skin color was very different from that of ordinary snake people, was quite decisive and took out a storage ring from her palm.

"Master Lin Feng, inside are many collections of the Snake-People race, enough to satisfy your many desires at the fourth to sixth rank. There are also some alchemist's notes, which the Queen specially ordered to be given to Master Lin Feng."

"Oh?" Lin Feng became interested upon hearing that there were alchemist's notes inside. Although with his current alchemy skills, plus the inheritance from Yao Chen, he was definitely far superior to these notes that the Snake-People could collect.

However, some alchemists inevitably have wildly imaginative ideas, which may inspire him. This is why Lin Feng has communicated with alchemists of lower rank than himself many times.

Taking the storage ring into his hand, Lin Feng found the icy touch, unique to the snake-people, rather strange. However, Lin Feng, who already had a family, was not a womanizer and did not dwell on it.

"What is this, Commander Flower Snake?" Lin Feng, who had just received the storage ring, thought that Flower Snake would step down after everything was over, but seeing her motionless figure, he couldn't help but ask.

"This is the elder's order, please forgive me, Master Lin Feng!" Flower Snake bowed again, her face showing a hint of apology, but her snake tail did not move.

"call"

Lin Feng let out a slight breath. He didn't feel that his dignity as an alchemist had been challenged, but he couldn't help feeling that these snake-man elders were far too corrupt. Offending Lin Feng would mean a future troublesome situation.

Shaking his head, Lin Feng lost interest in reading the alchemist's notes. He scanned his storage ring and examined the various medicinal herbs inside.

"I didn't expect that although the Snake People are located in a desert area, they have a lot of resources. I'm sure some of them are powerful warriors who have secretly crossed the blockade of the surrounding empires to go to the Monster Mountain Range to find spiritual herbs."

Ignoring these thoughts, Lin Feng also disregarded the curious stares of the Flower Snake Commander beside him and sat cross-legged on the stone bed, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.

"Thump"

After a certain moment, Lin Feng opened his eyes, and a beam of divine light shot out. Then, he swept his hand across the storage ring, and a huge medicine cauldron appeared in the secret chamber and slammed down.

"Let's start with fourth-grade pills. Some of these pills are exclusive to the Snake-People race and have never even been heard of in the lineage of Yao Chen, who is known as the number one alchemist on the continent."

"Bang!"

The azure beast fire reappeared; perhaps this was the last time he would use it to refine pills. Lin Feng had decided that once he reached his peak condition, he would absorb the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in one fell swoop, using its powerful energy to break through the barrier between the peak of Dou Wang and Dou Huang.

Lin Feng picked up a snake-shaped fruit, sensing its chilling nature with his soul power. As far as he knew, this kind of fruit only grew in places where snakes gathered. If Lin Feng had had such a snake fruit when he was refining his body, his speed would have been greatly increased.

Lin Feng put many spiritual herbs into the medicine cauldron, preparing to try out this fourth-grade pill—the Snake Heart Pill.

Snake Heart Pill: Ranked as a fourth-grade pill, its effect is to cause the user to suffer the excruciating pain of being devoured by ten thousand snakes, but after the intense pain subsides, the user's physical strength will be greatly enhanced.

The description of the pill formula flashed through Lin Feng's mind, but his hands remained still, rapidly changing their movements.

"Zzzzz."
