Chapter 55 Trading
“I didn’t expect that Master Xiao is also a sixth-grade alchemist who possesses strange fire.”A look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face, and Queen Medusa became more and more determined to keep Xiao Yun.
"Your Majesty, given the fact that your snake people are afraid of fire, even if I am blessed by the strange fire, even you may not be able to keep me."
"Do you choose to continue the transaction, or do you choose to offend me and the Canaan Academy behind me? If something happens to me in your Snake People Tribe, maybe my teacher will invite a Dou Zong to come and make your Snake People Tribe disappear completely in the desert!"
A cold voice came out of Xiao Yun's mouth, his whole body was surging with fighting spirit, and green flames wrapped around his body, transforming into a pair of gorgeous flaming wings. He was ready to escape at any time.
"Master Xiao, you are joking. As a distinguished guest of our Serpent People, I just want to invite you back to the Serpent People Holy City to rest. Since you are unwilling, then forget it."
Feeling the powerful aura of fire on Xiao Yun, Queen Medusa knew that every word he said was true, and in this desert, she was not 100% sure that she could keep Xiao Yun.
“However, the number of Sand Mandalas in my snake tribe is limited. One less will mean that a genius of my tribe cannot fuse with snake beasts!
Isn't it too little to have only three chances to refine a sixth-grade elixir?"
Worried that Xiao Yun would stop the transaction directly, Queen Medusa slowly retreated, a smile on her rosy lips.
Seeing her retreating, Xiao Yun finally regained a sense of security and said in a deep voice, "Then name your price."
"I need you to refine five sixth-grade pills for my clan. At the same time, you need to lend me the strange fire to help me evolve and break through." A hint of cunning flashed in Queen Medusa's autumn eyes, and she opened her mouth wide and said.
I have to say that Queen Medusa has a lot of little ideas. Generally speaking, refining five pills requires more than five opportunities to refine the pills.
However, Xiao Yun has just tamed the strange fire and doesn't know much about controlling the temperature of the flame. The Snake People are eager to give him the opportunity to practice, so why not do it?
Moreover, it is not up to him to decide how many pills to refine!
"I can refine five pills." Xiao Yun glanced at the beautiful face and said with some caution: "But I can't borrow your strange fire to evolve now. I have other things to do and can't stay in the desert for long."
"Then you can help my clan refine two Douling Pills first. As for the remaining three pills, can we refine them together when you come back?"
Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa, who had already taken advantage, stopped pressing and instead gave Xiao Yun some time to deal with the matter.
"Yes, but I can't make the elixir here. You can send a Dou Wang to go back to Mocheng with me. After the elixir is made, you can hand over the Sand Mandala to me."
"That's the best, Mobas. Just follow Master Xiao. In the human city, you must follow Master Xiao's arrangements and not act on your own."
Hearing this, Queen Medusa turned around and gave orders to Mebas, who had been standing there as punishment.
Then, he threw another ring into Xiao Yun's hand and said loudly: "Master Xiao, according to the rules of the alchemist, this ring contains the medicinal materials needed for two Douling Pills. I hope you will treat it with caution."
"Don't worry, I won't embezzle your medicinal materials. Let's go!"
After saying that, Xiao Yun's green fire wings fluttered slightly, and his body turned into a stream of green light, rushing straight into the sky. Mobas, who had been following behind him, saluted Queen Medusa, and then quickly waved his wings to chase Xiao Yun.
"I hope my decision is right. The snake people really need an alchemist..." The cold voice echoed in the desert, and the graceful figure that was originally standing on the yellow sand had long disappeared.
……
When Xiao Yun and Mobas flew back to Mo City, the sun that was originally hanging in the sky gradually set. With the help of the night, Xiao Yun brought Mobas, the snake man, into the human city safely.
The two were walking on the street, and soon, Xiao Yun brought Mobas to the door of the map shop where Hai Bodong had previously lived in seclusion.
Looking at the plaque above the door, which was covered with dust and spider webs, Xiao Yun immediately realized that it must have taken him a lot of time to subdue the strange fire, otherwise this place would not have become like this.
Pushing the door open, the two walked in. Looking at the dusty living room, Xiao Yun said, "You stay here for the next few days. Don't let others disturb me, and don't go out to disturb others!"
Hearing this, Mobas also knew that Xiao Yun would help the Snake People to refine the Douling Pill next. Maybe, he would get a share of this pill.
So, he touched his bald head and said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry, Master Xiao, I, Lao Mo, will never leave this room. I will definitely stay at the door!"
"That would be the best." Xiao Yun turned around and walked into the secret room that Hai Bodong had prepared for him. Originally, Hai Bodong was going to use this secret room to refine the Evil-Breaking Pill for him, but now it is almost the same for refining the Fighting Spirit Pill.
After closing the door, Xiao Yundu walked around the room to check everything. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he walked to the center of the room, sat cross-legged, and touched the ring with his palm. A fiery red medicine cauldron suddenly appeared on the ground. The fiery red medicine cauldron was quite sturdy and exuded a hint of coldness. On the surface of the medicine cauldron, there was a lifelike flaming dragon painted, which slowly absorbed the surrounding flame energy like a real thing.
This tripod is called the Flame Dragon Heavy Tripod. Xiao Yun bought it at an auction in the Black Horn Region at a huge price after he broke through to become a fifth-rank alchemist.
When refining pills, this medicine cauldron will slowly absorb the surrounding fire energy and feed it back to the alchemist, greatly improving the success rate of refining pills. Although it is not on the Tianding list, its effect is not much worse than those medicine cauldrons.
As a medicine that can directly improve the strength of cultivation, Douling Pill is widely circulated in the Douqi Continent, and Xiao Yun also knows the method of refining it.
Recalling the recipe of Douling Pill in his mind, Xiao Yun took out the herbs in the ring one by one. Suddenly, a light yellow plant appeared in his hand. Looking at the herb that looked like a small snake, he was a little surprised and said:
"This woman is really interesting. She actually gave me the Sand Mandala directly." What appeared in his hand was the Sand Mandala he had been looking for.
Moreover, the number of medicinal materials in the ring was not just six portions, but twelve portions! This was far beyond the conditions for ordinary alchemists to refine medicine!
"Since you trust me so much, I can't really not refine it."
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have helped him, and one should be grateful to those who have helped him. Medusa gave so many medicinal herbs.
Xiao Yun, who had originally planned to just fool around and help him refine a pill, also became serious for a rare time.
"I'll just make two for you! We can deal with the rest later!"
After a while, Xiao Yun, who had finished thinking, began to circulate his internal fighting spirit. A wisp of green flame appeared on his fingertips. He flicked his finger, and the flame drew a graceful arc in the air and fell directly into the medicine cauldron.
Afterwards, Xiao Yun's face was calm, and he waved his hands continuously, throwing all the herbs into the flames. At the same time, his soul power surged out from his brows and invaded the medicine cauldron, carefully feeling the changes and reactions of each herb in the flames.
"call!"
A herb suddenly turned into ashes in the flames, and its medicinal essence was completely devoured by the green fire.
Xiao Yun looked at it calmly. He understood that this was because he was not familiar with the temperature of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.
For alchemists, failure in refining is a very normal thing, just like eating and drinking. Even the most advanced alchemy master cannot guarantee that every batch of medicinal materials can be refined into pills.
Although the medicine refining failed at the very beginning, fortunately only one herb was lost and it would not affect the subsequent refining.
Xiao Yun waved his hand, picked up another identical herb, threw it into the flame, and carefully extracted the medicinal essence from it.
Failure is indeed the mother of success. After the first failure, Xiao Yun became familiar with the temperature of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. The subsequent refining went extremely smoothly, and he completed all the steps of refining the medicine without any danger.
Time passed slowly. In the quiet secret room, the green flame kept jumping. The faint medicinal fragrance gradually seeped out from the medicine cauldron with a sizzling sound and filled the entire room.
Inside the flaming medicine cauldron, a green pill prototype was slowly taking shape under the burning of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. At the same time, a rich pill fragrance emanated from it.
After a moment, the green flame suddenly surged, and as the temperature in the medicine cauldron increased, the emerald green pill became clearer and clearer.
The flames wrapped around the emerald green pill, and in an instant, the green fire seemed to be absorbed by the pill and dissipated in the medicine cauldron. As the green fire dissipated, an emerald green pill emerged.
The moment the emerald green pill took shape, a rich pill fragrance wafted out of it. Immediately afterwards, circles of surging energy ripples of heaven and earth surged out in all directions with the medicine cauldron as the center.
Xiao Yun had long expected that when the sixth-grade elixir took shape, a large amount of energy from heaven and earth would emerge, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible soul energy transformed into a transparent barrier, covering the secret room and preventing the energy from spreading.
……
Outside the secret room, even though Xiao Yun had set up a barrier, a small amount of energy from heaven and earth still flowed out of the room and was sensed by Mobas who was sitting in the hall.
"This kind of fluctuation must mean that the pill has been successfully refined! Master Xiao is truly gifted. In just two days, he has already refined a Douling Pill!"
Mobas thought excitedly, looking at the secret room with sharp eyes, as if he could see Xiao Yun inside through the wall.
"We must not let anyone disturb Master Xiao!" Standing up, Mobas's perception enveloped the surroundings of the store. For the sake of the Dou Lingdan, he was determined not to let anyone get close to the store!
