Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 106 The Snake-People's Alchemy

In the dimly lit secret room, a strange pair remained silent, their eyes fixed on a ball of energy inside the medicine cauldron.

"Master Lin Feng, is this the Snake Heart Pill?" Upon seeing the pill appear, the flower snake darted over in a few strides, as if it had spotted something rare.

"Indeed, this is the Snake Heart Pill, made according to the unique formula of your Snake-People tribe. Commander Flower Snake has never seen it before?" Seeing Flower Snake's appearance, Lin Feng found it rather strange.

"Master Lin Feng, you may not know this, but the Snake People are at odds with the surrounding empires. Even if there are alchemists who are willing to refine pills for the Snake People, their prices are extremely high." At this point, Hua She'er, who had been expressionless, became somewhat moved, as if she was indignant about the Snake People's situation.

"Therefore, the snake-people clan possesses very few elixirs. Only occasionally, when a snake-people perform a major service, are they rewarded with elixirs. And the elixir I obtained last time was not the Snake Heart Elixir!"

"No wonder there are so many medicinal herbs and pill formulas in this storage ring; they're trying to exploit me!"

Hua She'er blushed slightly at Lin Feng's words, but she did not back down. The snake people must seize every opportunity to become stronger so that one day they can lead their people out of this desert land.

Seeing the snake-woman's appearance, Lin Feng ignored her and resumed refining pills.

"Zzzzz."

The medicinal herbs sizzled and crackled as they burned in the flames, but the two people in the secret room felt no annoyance whatsoever.

Although it was a pill never seen before, it still maintained a high success rate thanks to Lin Feng's powerful alchemy skills and extraordinary soul power.

Over the next ten days or so, Lin Feng finished refining all the pills sent by the Snake-People. His success rate of 70% astonished the Snake-People. If it weren't for the overwhelming influence of a sixth-grade alchemist and the fact that Canaan Academy was far stronger than the Snake-People, the Snake-People elders would have wanted to bind Lin Feng to the Snake-People and have him refine pills for them for the rest of their lives.

With the production of numerous elixirs, the snake-people of the snake-people race looked at Lin Feng with intense fervor. During the occasional breaks Lin Feng took in seclusion, he was constantly subjected to such gazes, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"Master Lin Feng."

As Lin Feng was strolling around the royal city of the Snake People, a seductive voice rang in his ears, followed by a graceful and alluring figure appearing before his eyes, if one disregarded her colorful snake tail.

"Lin Feng, what about me?"

Before Lin Feng could answer, a figure suddenly darted out from behind Queen Medusa and jumped onto Lin Feng.

As if struck by a gigantic object, Lin Feng staggered back a few steps, supporting the irrational old loli with both hands.

"Your Majesty, has Ziyan caused you any trouble lately?"

In response to Lin Feng's question, Queen Medusa smiled sweetly, then quickly resumed her aloof demeanor.

"Master Lin Feng is overthinking it. Zi Yan and I hit it off immediately, and nothing happened."

"Did you hear that, Lin Feng? This young lady is very well-educated and reasonable. How dare you doubt me?" She said angrily at first, then Zi Yan seemed to have thought of something and chuckled.

"Lin Feng, to compensate me for the harm you've caused me, how about giving me another large bottle of pills?"

"You greedy little thing," Lin Feng pinched her cute little nose hard, and despite her obstruction, he took out the pills he had made in his storage ring over the past ten days.

"Hehe, as expected, you get to eat well when you follow Lin Feng. I'm so clever."

Ignoring Zi Yan, who was grinning foolishly to the side, Lin Feng addressed Queen Medusa.

"Your Majesty, I am confident in refining the Breakthrough Pill, however," Lin Feng paused before continuing, "I only have one set of medicinal ingredients. If the refining fails..."

"Master Lin Feng, please feel free to refine it. If it fails," Queen Medusa bit her lip, the usually strong queen showing weakness for a moment, before immediately turning resolute again.

"If I fail, please ask Master Lin Feng to help me evolve my strange fire."

"Okay, then!"

Seeing Queen Medusa's resolute expression, Lin Feng hesitated for a moment but did not stop her. Instead, he felt a touch of admiration. Even though he had never experienced the pain of subduing a strange fire, he could imagine it.

Not to mention that Queen Medusa is going to use a different kind of fire to evolve, and the smell of that burning body made Lin Feng shudder just thinking about it.

"Sister Medusa." Zi Yan, who had already understood the conversation between the two, gently looked up at Queen Medusa.

"Don't worry, Ziyan, your sister will be alright!" Queen Medusa gently patted Ziyan's head. The usually cold and aloof Queen Medusa was unusually affectionate towards Ziyan, which surprised Lin Feng. "When did these two become so close?"

The three walked together for a while, but seeing that Zi Yan and Queen Medusa were chatting so enthusiastically and that he didn't have a chance to interrupt, Lin Feng wisely returned to the cold, secret chamber.

The snake leader immediately entered, and sure enough, only this girl remained loyal and devoted.

"call"

After a moment of random thoughts, Lin Feng took a deep breath, quickly closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing, preparing to get into peak condition. After all, there was only one set of these medicinal herbs, and this was the first time he had ever refined a sixth-grade peak Breakthrough Pill.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng suddenly took out a medicine cauldron from his storage ring. However, instead of immediately refining the Breakthrough Pill, he refined another Snake Heart Pill, mobilizing his senses and the energy within the cauldron.

Having refined the Snake Heart Pill many times before, it posed no difficulty for Lin Feng, who quickly produced it. After handing it to the Flower Snake beside him, Lin Feng's expression turned serious.

"Now, it's time to test your skills!"

With a wave of his hand, he took out the only medicinal herb and threw it all into the medicine cauldron.

"Bang!"

The azure flames rose again, but Lin Feng hadn't yet begun absorbing the strange fire. Instead, he planned to refine his own battle qi through alchemy, repeatedly consuming and replenishing it. He would continuously refine his qi in this cycle, and after reaching his peak, he would use the opportunity of absorbing the strange fire to break through to the Dou Huang realm in one fell swoop.

While thinking to himself, Lin Feng's hands remained still, his powerful soul force sensing the subtle changes within the medicine cauldron.

As the medicinal herbs inside the cauldron gradually changed their form, Lin Feng controlled the temperature, sometimes drastically and sometimes rapidly decreasing it, so as not to damage the unique structure of the herbs and affect their medicinal efficacy.

Time passed slowly amidst the crackling sound of the flames, and judging by this trend, a remarkable elixir would surely be born soon.
