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

Chapter 55 The Uninvited Guest Arrives

Hun Qinghao and Cai Lin went to retrieve the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but it took them half a day, and Yao Chen's process of refining the Blood Lotus Pill had only just begun.

Inside the spacious room, a pale white flame slowly rose and burned within the black cauldron, continuously refining the essence of the medicinal herbs.

Da Zi moved a chair and sat at the door, looking very serious, but he was already bored out of his mind.

Seeing the tedious process of alchemy, Da Zi felt extremely fortunate. He and his son had found a very generous master, and he could eat more pills than others could ever dream of.

Seeing Hun Qinghao and Cai Lin enter the room, Da Zi quickly got up and moved a chair away. "Master is back. Did your trip go smoothly?"

Hun Qinghao walked to the low couch and sat down. "Well, it went quite smoothly. We got the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Lotus Platform."

Cai Lin placed his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "It is not easy to refine a fifth-grade pill. Even with the help of a strange fire, it will not be completed so quickly. Qing'er, why don't you take this time to absorb the energy of the lotus platform?"

"No!" Hun Qinghao immediately shook her head, her eyes fixed on the Black Demon Cauldron, her voice filled with stubbornness, "I want to stay here and watch my teacher refine pills."

She was a person who refused to admit defeat. Although all her alchemy attempts failed due to the World-Destroying Black Flame, and she said she would give up, she still kept it in mind. She wouldn't have been so attached to it even if she had succeeded just once.

Two days later, Hun Qing rubbed her sore eyes, pouted, and muttered softly, "The steps and techniques are exactly the same, so why can't I make the pill? Is it really all Xiao Hei's fault...?"

Just then, a fierce energy fluctuation suddenly spread outwards. This was a phenomenon that only appeared when a pill of grade four or above was successfully formed. Hun Qinghao, who was deep in thought, was startled by this phenomenon. Then, she was overjoyed and turned to look at Cai Lin: "Sister, the Blood Lotus Pill is complete."

Cai Lin also showed joy. With this Blood Lotus Pill, her success rate in devouring the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame had increased even more.

After the energy fluctuations dissipated, Yao Chen handed the jade bottle containing the Blood Lotus Pill to Cai Lin, saying, "Here, take it. When do you plan to start absorbing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"

Cai Lin glanced at Hun Qinghao, who was equally curious, and replied calmly, "Let's wait until Qing'er absorbs the lotus platform. Only then can I be completely at ease."

"I absorb the lotus platform very quickly, so I won't keep you waiting, sister," Hun Qing said with a smile.

Afterwards, Hun Qinghao spent two days absorbing the energy from the lotus platform.

When the black lotus blooming above her head completely engulfed the blue lotus platform, Hun Qinghao slowly opened her eyes. The black lotus in her eyes turned, and a flash of black light appeared before returning to calm.

The black lotus closed and entered her body. At the same time, the black lotus body sealed deep within her soul trembled slightly, the seal broke a layer, and the third lotus petal began to light up.

"Only breaking through to the first level, an eight-star Dou Wang, is a bit disappointing."

Hun Qing clicked his tongue, slightly dissatisfied with this.

Upon hearing this, both Yao Chen inside the ring and Da Zi guarding the door rolled their eyes.

Da Zi didn't dare say anything, but silently complained in his heart. Yao Chen couldn't help but chime in, crossing his arms and laughing helplessly, "Alright, alright. Breaking through another level in such a short time is already an incredible speed. Besides, how old are you? You have plenty of time in the future."

Back when I was her age, I had only reached the Dou Zhe realm, while this girl was already a high-level Dou Wang at this age.

I haven't seen her cultivate much on a regular basis, but her cultivation level hasn't declined at all.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

"I'm just making a casual remark."

"Wait, your black lotus forehead mark..." Yao Chen suddenly became serious, staring at the black lotus on her forehead, feeling that something was wrong.

Hun Qinghao reached up and touched his forehead, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Yao Chen: "I see this black lotus is a whole size bigger than before. Will your forehead wrinkles spread on their own?"

"I don't know." Hun Qinghao's eyes were blank for a moment, then she said nonchalantly, "Let it expand, it won't have any impact anyway."

Is it really not a problem? Yao Chen had an inexplicable worry in his heart. He felt that the expansion of the black lotus forehead lines was not simple, but even she herself had not noticed anything wrong. He hoped that he was just worrying unnecessarily!

…………

Cai Lin was preparing to devour the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to evolve. To ensure everything went smoothly, she also recalled the leaders of the eight tribes to guard the temple. However, only Mo Bass, the leader of the Ink Serpent tribe, arrived in time.

The temple was patrolled by the Queen's personal guards, and the entire city was under heavy security.

After consuming the Blood Lotus Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Cai Lin transformed into its true form as a demonic beast and began to devour the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

The blue flames rolled and rose, and the heat quickly evaporated the icy spring water in the pool.

Hun Qinghao stood by the pool, but the fierce blue flames dared not approach her even slightly.

Within the city, gazing at the sudden surge of purple light filling the sky, all the snake-people wore expressions of excitement. "Her Majesty the Queen is finally evolving!"

Just as the Serpent People were basking in the joy of their Queen's evolution, several powerful auras were rapidly approaching from afar.

Yue Mei and Mo Bas reacted in time, a cold killing intent flashing in their eyes. Wings sprouted from their backs, and they took to the air, landing on the city wall.

"One Dou Huang, three Dou Wang, and four Dou Ling." Yue Mei calmly stated the lineup of the newcomers in a low voice.

Although this lineup was already very luxurious in the Gama Empire, Yue Mei showed no sign of tension.

Although Yue Mei had never witnessed Hun Qinghao's terrifying combat power, she knew that the big purple beast beside her was a sixth-order magical beast.

With another Dou Huang present, Yue Mei felt very confident.

Looking at the few figures lingering outside the city, Mobas said in a cold voice, "Humans, why do you trespass into my territory without permission? If you don't want to provoke a war between the Gama Empire and the Snake-People, I advise you to go back to where you came from!"

Upon hearing this, the distinguished-looking middle-aged man at the head of the group bowed slightly and said with a smile, "My name is Gu He. I have come to the Snake-People tribe with important matters that I wish to discuss with Queen Medusa. Would you be so kind as to invite Her Majesty to appear for a talk?"

"Danwang Ancient River?"

The name that was renowned throughout the Gama Empire surprised Yue Mei and Mobas slightly, but only for a moment.

In the past, they would have been very wary, but now... after witnessing Hun Qinghao's arrogance, they felt that Dan Wang Guhe was nothing special.

Yue Mei shook her head and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, Her Majesty the Queen is not available to receive guests right now. Please leave."

What important matter could it be? They came here for the strange fire. It's only been a few days, and they already know that Her Majesty the Queen has news of the strange fire. Alchemists are indeed well-informed.
