Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 53 Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame

Half a month later, in the main hall of the Snake People.

"Qing'er, I have gathered all the ingredients needed to refine the Blood Lotus Pill."

Cai Lin, dressed in a fiery red dress, waved her jade hand, and the three medicinal ingredients for refining the Blood Lotus Pill appeared before Hun Qinghao.

Blood Lotus Essence, an Ice Spirit Flame Grass, and a fourth-tier ice-attribute magic core.

Since half a month ago, when Hun Qinghao told Queen Medusa that he could help her devour the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Queen Medusa has been collecting medicinal materials to refine the Blood Lotus Pill according to Hun Qinghao's request.

Looking at the medicinal herbs in front of her, Hun Qinghao touched the black ring and softly called out, "Teacher..."

A puff of white smoke flashed by, and Yao Chen appeared. "Leave it to me."

Cai Lin knew that Yao Chen was the one who refined the pills, and nodded slightly to him: "Thank you."

Yao Chen waved his hand, swept his sleeve, and put away the medicinal herbs. He said in a calm voice, "No need to thank me. It was Qing'er who wanted to help you."

Cai Lin looked at Hun Qinghao, a smile flashing in her eyes, and said, "I know."

She had only casually brought back an injured little girl, but unexpectedly gained a younger sister, and the greatest reward this younger sister could give her.

Whenever she thinks of this, Cai Lin can't help but marvel at how wonderful their sisterly bond is.

"Now that all the medicinal herbs have been gathered, Master, you can stay home and refine the medicine. Da Zi will protect you, and my sister and I will go and retrieve the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame." Looking at the group in the main hall, Hun Qinghao assigned the tasks.

"Alright, Qing'er, be careful." Even though he knew she was incredibly powerful and could even fight a Dou Zong, Yao Chen still couldn't help but remind her.

"I know, I have Little Black. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame can't cause any trouble in front of me." Hun Qinghao stuck out her tongue and pulled Cai Lin away, "Sister, let's go quickly! I can't wait to get the Lotus Platform!"

Looking at the lively and spirited girl, a warm smile appeared on Cai Lin's usually aloof face.

Yao Chen gazed at their departing figures, standing there stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Xiao Qing'er likes lotus platforms... He did obtain a red lotus platform in the Light and Shadow Space, but he never knew what the red lotus was for, so he left it idle in the Starfall Pavilion.

Once he has a physical body and returns to the Starfall Pavilion, he can bring that strange red lotus to Xiao Qing'er. Her true form is a black lotus, so it might be of great use to her.

…………

The sweltering heat hit us as we gazed upon the boundless desert, its sands raging.

Stone Desert City, the outskirts of the headquarters of the Sand Mercenary Group, is where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was detected by Rainbow Scale.

Hun Qinghao squatted down, placed her fingertips on the ground to sense it, and said, "Sister's detection is correct. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is down there. My Little Black has already sensed it."

"Qing'er, step back and let your sister blast open the passage." Cai Lin said domineeringly, her left hand on her hip.

But Hun Qinghao shook her head and smiled faintly, "There's no need for such trouble. Qing'er's spatial magic is superb; she can easily bring her sister in with her."

"Uh... I forgot about that, sister. Then I'll have to trouble you, Qing'er!" Cai Lin said, pursing her lips. However, the next moment, her eyes suddenly sharpened, her aura erupted, and she glanced to her right rear, shouting sharply, "Who's lurking around like that? Show yourself to me!"

Under the oppressive aura of Cai Lin's Dou Huang power, the few people hiding behind the boulder stepped out, trembling. They were members of the Sand Mercenary Group, including the group leader Luo Bu and the vice-leader Mo Xing.

However, in front of a Dou Huang powerhouse like Cai Lin, a mere Da Dou Shi is simply not enough.

"Senior, we were just... passing by by chance. We swear, we really didn't hear anything!" Rob, the leader among them, bowed and said in a trembling voice.

But his attempt to cover up his guilt only made Cai Lin's expression grow colder.

Under the heavy atmosphere and the oppressive aura of the colorful scales, the members of the Sand Mercenary Group broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale.

Rob felt a sense of despair. He had just returned from outside with his men and happened to pass by this place. How could he have been so unlucky as to run into Queen Medusa of the Snake People and witness their secret?

Queen Medusa was known for her cruelty; how could these people possibly survive?

Hun Qinghao had some impression of the Sand Mercenary Group, but not much, so he didn't recognize the people in front of him as members of the Sand Mercenary Group.

If she wasn't provoked, Hun Qinghao wasn't bloodthirsty. So she took Cai Lin's hand, glanced coldly at Luo Bu and the others, and said contemptuously, "They're just a bunch of ants. Why should you care about them, sister? Business is more important."

The Sand Mercenary Group: Yes, yes, we are all ants. Please don't take us seriously. Go and do your business!

Cai Lin snorted coldly, finally suppressing her oppressive aura. After calming her expression, she turned to Hun Qinghao and said, "Qing'er, let's go."

Hun Qing nodded, tore space in front of him with his hands, and pulled Cai Lin inside.

After they left, the members of the Sand Mercenary Group collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

"Oh my god, that was really scary! My heart was pounding in my chest!"

"I find that little girl far more terrifying than Queen Medusa!"

"Yes, she can actually tear space apart with her bare hands. Even a Dou Huang can't do that."

"The girl called Queen Medusa 'sister.' When did the snake-people tribe produce such a mysterious and terrifying young woman?"

"..."

Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Rob's face turned grave. After a long while, he finally spoke in a deep voice: "You all keep everything we just saw and heard to yourselves. Queen Medusa is not to be trifled with, and that mysterious girl is even more so. Our Sand Mercenary Group cannot afford to offend a single one of them."

"Yes," everyone quickly replied.

They were still shaken by Queen Medusa's oppressive aura and dared not provoke such a terrifying and powerful being.

Although Hun Qinghao was skilled in spatial magic, she could not traverse long distances through space. Therefore, she would tear open space midway to emerge from the void, and then continue to tear open new space to traverse.

After repeating this process several times, the two sisters finally arrived at the space beneath the magma where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was located. The two-headed fire spirit snake guarding the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in the magma was completely unaware of their presence.

After all, the two-headed fire spirit serpent would never have imagined that someone would use spatial magic to directly pass through the magma and arrive in front of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Amidst the azure light, a magnificent eight-petaled azure lotus stood amidst the magma, with slender roots growing beneath it, frantically absorbing the violent fire-attribute energy from the magma.

Within the crystal-clear lotus flower, as beautiful as jade, lies a small lotus platform, about two or three feet in size. At the center of the platform, a ball of blue flame is slowly burning.

"This is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!" Cai Lin exclaimed in amazement. Faced with such a rare and precious treasure, even she, who was usually indifferent, couldn't help but show a hint of emotion.
