"However, this pill is a seventh-tier one. It's extremely difficult to refine, and it even comes with a lightning tribulation. It's quite dangerous, so Lin Feng, you'd better be careful when refining it."
Seeing Queen Medusa take the prescription and immediately toss it to Lin Feng, the Third Elder stepped forward to remind him.
"Don't worry, everyone. I'm a sixth-tier alchemist. I understand these matters well enough."
With that, Lin Feng put the scroll into his storage ring, then took out a few medicinal pills he had obtained from Han Feng.
Because many powerful figures in the Black-Corner Region had requested Han Feng to refine pills for them, Lin Feng didn't dare to trade them openly there.
But now, using them to enhance the strength of the Snake-People Clan wasn't a bad idea.
As he tossed a few jade bottles toward the four elders of the Snake-People Clan, he said, "These are four Zong Breaking Pills and two Mighty Huang Pills. They should greatly boost your clan's strength. Consider them part of my betrothal gift."
"Zong Breaking Pills and Mighty Huang Pills?!"
Upon hearing that, the elders' expressions immediately shifted to disbelief as they exclaimed in shock.
These peak sixth-tier pills were incredibly rare. Even though they had lived for so long, they could count the number of times they had seen such pills on one hand.
Especially the Zong Breaking Pill—they had been stuck at the peak of the Dou Huang realm for who knew how long. If they took it…
They might just have a chance to break through to the Dou Zong realm!
Thinking of that, they carefully received the jade bottles.
They quickly pulled out the stoppers and poured out the pills inside.
As the snow-white pills rolled out, a multicolored medicinal fragrance instantly wafted through the entire room.
"So potent…"
Inhaling the rich aroma that instantly refreshed their minds, the elders quickly resealed the pills in the bottles, afraid of losing even a trace of their medicinal power.
"Ahem, Lin Feng, when are you and Her Majesty planning to hold your wedding? We'll personally help organize it for you."
Carefully storing the jade bottles into their storage rings, the elders ignored the faint blush on Queen Medusa's cheeks and smiled warmly at Lin Feng.
"Uh… Let's deal with the Jia Ma Empire's situation first."
Faced with their sudden change in attitude, Lin Feng replied a bit awkwardly.
"Why bother with those old hags? Let's head to the Jia Ma Empire and take care of things there first."
Hearing the exchange, Medusa could no longer stand still. She grabbed Lin Feng and pulled him out of the room.
She was, of course, aware of Yun Yun's existence and was understandably angry about it.
But rather than stay in that awkward atmosphere, she chose to help Yun Yun of her own accord.
And since Lin Feng was worried about Yun Yun's safety too, he naturally followed Medusa in leaving the place.
Not long after, Lin Feng, Medusa, and Zi Yan set off for the Jia Ma Empire.
At this moment, however, a faint blush still lingered on Medusa's enchanting face.
Clearly, the earlier conversation had affected even this cold and elegant queen.
Lin Feng glanced at her and let out a soft sigh in his heart.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want Medusa—who was already pregnant—to follow him around fighting.
But the current circumstances left him with no other option.
After two days of flight, the group finally arrived from the Tagore Desert at the front lines of the war between the Jia Ma Empire and the Chu Yun Empire.
"Lin Feng, what now? Do we just drop in and beat them up?"
Zi Yan yawned and looked down at the sprawling army camps below, then asked.
"Let's check out the Chu Yun Empire's side first. If Xiao Yixian is the one leading their forces, then this will be easy to handle."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then replied.
Looking at the clearly drowsy Zi Yan, he added, "You seem like you're about to break through. After we're done here, I'll refine some sixth-tier pills for you to speed up your advancement."
"Hehe, I've been feeling that too! Maybe after I break through to Dou Huang, I'll finally grow up!"
Zi Yan giggled foolishly.
Seeing her like this, Lin Feng shook his head. He knew that even if she reached the Rank 6, this girl still wouldn't grow up.
But he didn't say anything that would dampen her spirits.
Instead, he turned to the two women beside him and said, "Let's go."
With that, he took the lead, flying toward the central region of the Chu Yun Empire's military camp.
Seeing this, the two women hurriedly followed close behind.
As they penetrated deeper into the Chu Yun Empire's encampment, Lin Feng suddenly felt the Heavenly Flame within his body start to stir violently.
Noticing this abrupt change, he quickly focused his mind and suppressed the eruption.
"What's wrong?"
Medusa also sensed the change in his aura and frowned slightly as she asked.
They were now deep inside enemy territory. Although she wasn't afraid of being discovered, it would certainly be troublesome.
"There's a Heavenly Flame ahead!"
Lin Feng's cultivation technique, Flame Mantra, had long since stabilized after extensive use.
So if the Heavenly Flame was suddenly acting up, there could only be one explanation—it had encountered another of its kind.
"What? I didn't expect the Chu Yun Empire to have such a lucky person. Why don't we go take it?"
Hearing "Heavenly Flame," Medusa's beautiful eyes lit up. She immediately turned to Lin Feng with a tempting suggestion.
"Let's go!"
There was no way Lin Feng would miss such a golden opportunity. As soon as he spoke, he shot forward.
—
Just as Lin Feng felt surprised, inside the main tent at the heart of the Chu Yun Empire's camp…
A graceful figure sat at a desk, silver-white hair like snow cascading down to her slender, willow-like waist.
Her peculiar gray-purple eyes were focused intently on a third-tier medicinal prescription in her jade-like hands.
Suddenly, her exquisite face snapped toward the direction of Lin Feng and the others. Her rosy lips murmured, "Why is my Heavenly Flame suddenly stirring on its own? That's never happened before…"
As she spoke, the prescription she had been reading slipped unnoticed from her hand and fell to the table.
"Who's there?!"
While she was pondering, she abruptly sensed several powerful auras speeding toward her tent.
"So it really is you… Xiao Yixian."
Before her voice could fall, a man's voice slowly rang out inside the tent.
That familiar tone—the one she had longed to hear day and night for years—made Xiao Yixian turn her head in disbelief.
"Lin Feng…"
Looking at the young man before her, clearly more mature than five years ago, Xiao Yixian subconsciously murmured his name.
"Looks like you've been doing pretty well these years. But after all this time without seeing me, aren't you even going to give me a hug?"
Gazing at the young woman dressed in a slightly loose violet-red robe, Lin Feng smiled and stepped forward.
Then, without hesitation, he pulled the still-stunned Xiao Yixian into his arms.
One hand wrapped around her incredibly slender waist, while the other gently ran through her dazzling snow-white hair.
"Not bad at all. In just five short years, you've already reached Three-Star Dou Zong. And it looks like your Woeful Poison Body has been suppressed too. Is that because of the Ghostly Poison Flame in your body?"
Holding her, Lin Feng gently asked, having noticed that besides her usual faint fragrance, there was no scent of poison about her.
He remembered in the original story, Xiao Yixian only broke through to Four-Star Dou Zong around the age of twenty-three due to not having the Ghostly Poison Flame.
Yet now, like him, she was only about twenty-one and a half.
But because of his interference in this timeline, her Woeful Poison Body had awakened about a year earlier than in the original story.
Even so, with the Heavenly Flame inside her absorbing some of her poisonous energy as nourishment, she had still managed to reach Three-Star Dou Zong.
Such a rate of advancement far surpassed the original timeline.
