Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 140, Rising to Fame

Burning Flame Valley.

"Valley Master, we have already spread the word that we need a high-level alchemist of rank seven or above to help. Someone should be here soon," an elder said.

"Hmm, remember to add a note: it would be even better if the alchemist possessed a different kind of fire," Tang Zhen said.

"yes!"

The elder quickly went down to make the arrangements.

Tang Zhen was left alone in the hall, somewhat at a loss.

He sought out an alchemist because he needed someone to refine the Fire Bodhi Pill for his daughter, Tang Huo'er.

This is a life-saving medicine!

However, because the pills are of such high quality, they require at least a seventh-grade alchemist to refine them.

Even in the Central Plains, seventh-grade alchemists are not easy to find.

Almost all seventh-grade alchemists already belong to their own factions, so getting them to help is not so easy.

Therefore, Tang Zhen could only try to find people while actively spreading the word, hoping to find some independent alchemists to help him.

"Father."

A clear, crisp voice rang out, and a beautiful girl dressed in a fiery red dress slowly walked over.

"Huo'er, what brings you here?" Tang Zhen's worried expression instantly vanished, replaced by a kind smile.

"Father, are you looking for an alchemist to help you refine the Fire Bodhi Pill?"

Although Tang Zhen didn't mention it, Tang Huo'er certainly knew the reason.

Seeing this, Tang Zhen could only nod: "Yes, the Fire Bodhi Pill is too important to you. Back then, you tried to forcibly fuse with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, but you failed and suffered a backlash, leaving you with serious aftereffects."

"If you don't find a way to refine the Fire Bodhi Pill soon, your life force will be completely exhausted within a year."

Tang Huo'er's eyes reddened, she bit her thin lips lightly, and nodded: "Even if we fail in the end, Huo'er will have no regrets."

"Alright, don't think about it too much. I'll definitely find someone to help refine the Fire Bodhi Pill. If all else fails, I'll just have to swallow my pride and ask those big shots in the Pill Tower for help." Tang Zhen didn't want the atmosphere to become so heavy.

However, Tang Huo'er knew that although their Burning Flame Valley was quite powerful, it wouldn't be easy to get the giants of the Pill Tower to help with pill refining; it would require paying a heavy price.

She didn't want Tang Zhen or Burning Flame Valley to be in trouble because of her.

Just then, an elder rushed in.

"Valley Master, our disciples have sent word that they have discovered an alchemist with a strange fire in Black Wind City, which is not far away."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen immediately became excited: "Then you should hurry up and bring them back!"

The elder looked somewhat troubled: "Valley Master, this person's status is quite high; we're afraid our elders can't persuade him to come."

"Oh? Who is that person?"

"That man's name is Ning Su, and he doesn't seem to have any powerful backing. But he recently did something that shocked the entire Central Continent—he killed the Ice Venerable of Ice River Valley."

Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er were both shocked by the elder's words.

They had certainly heard about it.

The whole of Zhongzhou had heard about it.

Moreover, Ice River Valley, along with their Burning Flame Valley, is known as one of the "Three Valleys" in the "Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions," and their strength should not be underestimated.

Tang Zhen was also shocked when he learned that Ice Venerable had been killed.

The person who killed the Ice Venerable was named Ning Su.

Before this, Ning Su was a relatively unknown name in Zhongzhou.

After that, the name Ning Su spread throughout the entire Central Plains.

"Are you sure they are the same person?" Tang Zhen asked.

The elder nodded: "It's absolutely true. We only learned of Ning Su's existence recently because he's been helping people refine medicine in Black Wind City."

"Then how do you know he's a seventh-grade alchemist?"

"Because someone asked him for help and successfully refined a seventh-grade elixir," the elder said.

This is indeed strong evidence.

A seventh-grade alchemist with a unique flame—isn't this exactly the kind of helper Tang Zhen needs right now?

However, Tang Zhen was somewhat wary of Ning Su's identity.

Ning Su just killed Ice Venerable. If we go to Ning Su for help now, it will raise suspicions about the relationship between Burning Flame Valley and Ning Su.

But thinking of Tang Huo'er's situation, Tang Zhen gritted his teeth.

"In that case, I will personally go to Blackwind City and ask Ning Su for help!"

……

Blackwind City.

Blackwind City has been particularly lively lately.

Because there is a seventh-grade alchemist here who openly helps people refine medicine.

Many people came from far and wide, hoping that Ning Su could help them refine medicine.

The latest novel is first published here!

After all, seventh-grade alchemists are extremely rare, and it's not always an opportunity to ask a seventh-grade alchemist for help in refining pills.

Although they had to pay Ning Su to refine medicine, they didn't care.

After all, they usually couldn't even find a seventh-grade alchemist to help them refine medicine, even if they paid money.

All the major and minor forces around Black Wind City sent people, sparing no expense, just to ask Ning Su to help refine a single pill.

Inside the restaurant.

Ning Su was refining medicine in her room, while Little Fairy Doctor was outside selecting the ingredients.

"My master said not to come to him for pills below the sixth grade; it's a waste of time."

"Miss, we are from the Black Wind Sect. We have a high-level Xuan-rank combat technique and hope that Mr. Ning Su can help our sect leader refine a low-grade seventh-rank pill."

"Miss, we are from the Qingfeng Sect. We are willing to use a low-level Earth Rank combat technique to request Mr. Ning Su to refine a low-grade seventh-rank pill for us!"

"Miss, we are..."

Everyone offered their biggest bargaining chip and then revealed the elixir they wanted Ning Su to help refine.

Ning Su was willing to accept any pills that were of the sixth or seventh grade.

But the prerequisite is that they can offer sufficient compensation—he's not here to do charity, so of course he has to charge a fee.

Little Fairy Doctor collected a batch of pills and her reward, then took them to her room.

"Ning Su, this is the batch of pills needed: two mid-grade seventh-rank pills, three low-grade seventh-rank pills, and five high-grade sixth-rank pills."

"And for each pill, two portions of medicinal herbs were prepared."

Ning Su nodded: "Yes, have you received the payment?"

"We accept all items according to your standards; anything below those standards will not be accepted," said Little Fairy Doctor.

They've received a lot of good stuff these past few days.

Not to mention the Earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, there are also countless rare treasures.

Little Fairy Doctor finally witnessed the truly terrifying aspects of alchemists.

As long as you have the skill of alchemy, you'll never be poor!

"But you've refined so many pills these past few days, aren't you tired?" Little Fairy Doctor asked with some concern.

Although Ning Su was very fast at refining medicine, he could basically complete the refining of a seventh-grade pill in two or three hours.

However, it is a seventh-grade elixir after all, and it consumes a lot of energy.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't overwork myself."

"I reckon the person we're waiting for should be arriving soon," Ning said with a smile.
