Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 190 Indigenous Peoples

"Have we entered the Land of Heritage?"

Lin Feng murmured to himself, not expecting to encounter Qing Lin during this inheritance. He learned from the manor lord that Qing Lin would need at least four more years to emerge from seclusion, and he sighed slightly.

"It seems that after returning and waiting for Ziyan to emerge from seclusion, we can only head to Zhongzhou first!"

Seeing Lin Feng remain silent for a moment, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace couldn't help but speak up to explain.

"If Master Lin Feng doesn't believe it, he can ask Elder Green Barbarian and Elder Green; they can testify."

"Lord Lin Feng, the Holy Maiden did indeed enter the Inheritance Grounds a year ago, and at that time she had already reached the Dou Huang realm. According to records, the weakest of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils who emerge from the Inheritance Grounds each generation has reached the advanced Dou Zong level, and those with exceptional talent have even reached the Dou Zun level!"

At this point, Elder Qing's eyes were full of admiration; this inheritance was truly enviable. Unfortunately, one's physique is predetermined by fate, and even if she tried her best in this life, she could only reach the Dou Zong realm at most.

As for why they had to travel to the Black Corner Region to purchase the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, it was because this inheritance had not been activated in the Heavenly Serpent Palace for hundreds of years. Even the strongest person in the palace, the former palace master, a Dou Zun expert with a long lifespan, had never witnessed it.

"I believe what you all say. However, if I later discover that the Heavenly Serpent Palace is forcing Qinglin to do things she doesn't like, you should consider the influence of an eighth-grade alchemist!"

Knowing that Qinglin had indeed entered the land of inheritance and would not emerge for several years, Lin Feng was somewhat helpless and could only leave a warning. After all, in the original story, Qinglin had left for the Beast Domain because of forced marriage.

"Haha, please rest assured, Master Lin Feng. The Holy Maiden is the hope for the Heavenly Serpent Palace to regain its glory. No one in the Heavenly Serpent Palace can force her."

Upon hearing the words "eighth-grade alchemist," the Heavenly Serpent Palace Master's pupils constricted slightly. "No wonder he has grown to this level so quickly; it turns out he has an eighth-grade alchemist training him behind the scenes. I see!"

Since the main purpose of his trip could not be achieved, Lin Feng was somewhat disheartened.

"Master Lin Feng, would you be so kind as to refine a Breakthrough Pill for me?"

Just then, Elder Green Barbarian's voice rang out, but it seemed to lack confidence.

"Haha, Elder Green Barbarian has been a great help to Azure Scale, so I agree to the alchemy matter!"

"Master Lin Feng, I am aware of the rules for alchemists, but I have only collected two sets of medicinal herbs. I wonder if it would be possible..."

At this point, Green Barbarian's face flushed slightly, as if she knew that her request was somewhat impolite.

"Elder Green Barbarian, I've taken the liberty of providing you with the missing medicinal herbs!"

Right there, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace stroked his beard slightly and said, "Elder Green Barbarian has done a great service by finding the Holy Maiden for the sect. Consider these mere medicinal herbs a personal donation from this old man!"

"This," Green Barbarian wanted to refuse, after all, she and the Palace Master were not from the same faction, but the words just wouldn't come out, because this was a matter of whether she could advance to the Dou Zong realm!

Despite her seemingly young age and rapid advancement to the Dou Zong realm, the barrier between Dou Huang and Dou Zong is incredibly difficult to overcome. Just from the original story, we can imagine how difficult it is for Queen Medusa to use a different kind of fire to temper her body, a process that involved a near-death experience.

In the Gama Empire, apart from Yunshan who advanced with the help of the Soul Palace, no one else could break through this barrier.

Although the Heavenly Serpent Palace is one of the overlords of the Northwest Continent, and its opportunities are incomparable to those of a small country, it will still be many years before she advances to the next level. How much potential will she still have to advance further at that time?

Therefore, Green Barbarian endured immense torment in receiving help from the Lord of the Prefecture, a person from a different faction.

"Haha, you two don't need to be so formal," Lin Feng said with a slight smile. "As I just mentioned, I am extremely grateful for Elder Green Barbarian's care for Qing Lin. Therefore, Elder Green Barbarian's pills only require two sets of medicinal herbs to refine!"

"Thank you very much, Master Lin Feng!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Lü Man immediately felt relieved, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to Lin Feng.

"Lord of the Manor, I wonder if the Heavenly Serpent Manor has these pills? If we can collect them, please let us know if your manor has any pills that need to be refined, and we can do so according to the rules of alchemists."

Lin Feng pondered for a while, rubbing his chin. He figured that as one of the overlords of the Northwest Continent, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion should be able to gather enough ingredients to refine a few seventh-grade pills. So he took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down the names of some medicinal herbs.

"Thank you very much, Master Lin Feng!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace took the note, glanced at it briefly, and his face lit up with joy. He bowed slightly to Lin Feng and quickly walked outside, intending to hold another meeting to gather the entire palace's resources to collect medicinal herbs.

After all, although the vast Heavenly Serpent Palace was not without sixth-grade alchemists, its chief alchemist was not capable of refining top-tier pills such as the Royal-grade Pill and the Breakthrough Pill.

Given the size of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, it was naturally possible to hire a top-tier sixth-grade alchemist to refine these pills. However, the price they would pay was incredibly high. With Lin Feng, an alchemy master who was essentially given away for free, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was naturally overjoyed.

After the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace left, Lin Feng did not linger. He simply let Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor wander around the area or search for treasures, led by Green Barbarian and Green Barbarian. He, on the other hand, was led by a maid to a top-tier secret chamber.

"Thump"

A six-mouthed cauldron suddenly crashed down with a loud bang. Looking at the familiar medicine cauldron, Lin Feng sighed slightly.

"It seems like it's been quite a while since I last refined pills. I wonder if I've become rusty!"

"Bang!"

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame slowly emerged from the palm of the hand and was then placed into the medicine cauldron, beginning the first step of refining medicine—warming the cauldron!

This step is not a necessary prerequisite for alchemy, but it comes from the tradition of medicine. Although one can start alchemy directly without this step, warming the cauldron not only allows one to become familiar with its feel and avoid rustiness, but also helps to calm one's mind and increase the success rate of alchemy.

This is the difference between having a tradition and not having one!

The inheritance that Lin Feng initially received from the nameless alchemist in the Tagor Desert did not mention anything about it, and even Fa Ma only had a vague understanding of it.

It could be said that in the eyes of alchemists in Zhongzhou, or more specifically, the Pill Tower, alchemists from other places were practically native to the alchemy world. Of course, in the eyes of the Medicine Clan, until their extinction, all alchemists from the outside world were also considered natives!
