"The captain ordered us to stay extrely vigilant—humans are cunning, after all," the snake-woman said with a shake of her head, smiling.
Then, rembering sothing, she looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled expression. "The captain said Her Majesty the Queen is ready. You should go deliver the item to her."
"Three months... finally ready, huh?"
Muttering to himself, Lin Feng tossed the pill in his hand to the snake-woman.
Then, under her confused gaze, he turned and walked straight out.
Inside the Snake-People Clan's temple, Queen dusa sat gracefully upon her throne, her srizing figure curled up within the seat. She glanced at Lin Feng as he entered.
"You're here. Tell that little girl to bring out the Heavenly Fla."
"Young Master!"
On the side, Qing Lin's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Lin Feng. She imdiately ran up to him and threw herself into his embrace.
This scene nearly drove Lu Man mad with jealousy.
She and Bai Ya had spent the past three months doing everything they could to please Qing Lin.
Their relationship had indeed improved, but nowhere near this level of closeness.
"No problem. Since Your Majesty has given what I want, I won't go back on my word."
Lin Feng responded to dusa before turning his attention to the little girl in his arms. Sensing Qing Lin's bad mood, he affectionately ruffled her hair.
He knew the reason for her unhappiness but had no way to resolve it.
A mont later, he took the storage ring Qing Lin handed him and retrieved the Green Lotus Core Fla from within.
The mont the azure lotus appeared, the temperature inside the grand hall surged.
Holding the flaming lotus, Lin Feng looked toward dusa. "Your Majesty, did you find a proper base for it?"
"There happened to be a Mysterious Crystal Lotus Seat in the treasury—enough to contain the Heavenly Fla. I really don't know why you insisted I provide the base myself," dusa replied as she gracefully descended from her throne.
She retrieved a lotus seat carved from an extraordinary, translucent crystal.
With a gentle flick of her purple serpent tail, she moved toward Lin Feng.
"Heh, I heard that the Green Lotus Core Fla's original lotus base can speed up cultivation. It'd be a sha if it burned away during your evolution," Lin Feng said with a chuckle as he casually tossed the lotus toward her.
dusa caught the Heavenly Fla and suspended the Mysterious Crystal Lotus Seat in midair with Dou Qi.
Then, without hesitation, she used her formidable peak Dou Huang strength to forcefully extract the core fla from the lotus.
The mont the Green Lotus Core Fla left the lotus, its docile nature vanished—it beca a raging inferno.
However, before it could unleash its destructive power, dusa's overwhelming strength forcefully sealed it within the Mysterious Crystal Lotus Seat.
Once inside, the Heavenly Fla gradually cald.
"Huff~"
With a faint whoosh of air, the now-empty Green Colored Lotus Platform was tossed back to Lin Feng.
Looking at the lotus in his hand, along with the eleven lotus seeds still intact within, Lin Feng smiled slightly before storing them away.
"I will be leaving for a while now. Whether I succeed or fail, the Heavenly Fla will be returned to you."
After saying this, dusa shot one last glance at Lin Feng and the others before turning to leave.
"Heh, looks like she still doesn't trust us," Bai Ya remarked as he watched dusa fly into the distance.
Lin Feng casually flipped open a fourth-tier alchemist's journal and replied, "Doesn't matter. In a while, we'll get the Heavenly Fla back and leave."
Lu Man frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing across her eyes. "But what if she succeeds? Wouldn't she just go back on her word and keep us trapped here?"
Bai Ya lifted his massive head slightly and countered, "Impossible. Even if she advances to Dou Zong, she will still need a period of adaptation before she can fully control her newfound strength.
During that ti, keeping us here won't be easy. Besides, successfully refining a Heavenly Fla is bound to co with serious injuries. If she does succeed, she'll probably need to find a secluded place to recover first."
"That's true."
Hearing this, Lu Man's frown eased.
She then turned and looked at Lin Feng, who was comfortably seated with Qing Lin in his arms, absorbed in reading.
Rolling her eyes, she huffed, "At a ti like this, you still have the mood to read?!"
Lin Feng rolled up the scroll he had just finished reading and pulled out a new one. Without even looking up, he casually said,
"Heh, worrying about it now won't change anything. Might as well do what we need to do. Besides, these alchemist journals can't be taken away. If I don't read them now, I won't get another chance later."
"Kid, are you really not going to join Heavenly Serpent Mansion with us? With your talent, you'd be given priority training for sure."
Hearing Lin Feng ntion alchemy, Bai Ya was once again reminded of the young man's terrifying alchemical skills and took the opportunity to extend another invitation.
"Exactly! If you join Heavenly Serpent Mansion, you'd never have to worry about cultivation resources again. Plus, I heard there's even a seventh-tier pill recipe in the mansion. Once your rank improves, you'd have access to it!"
Over the past three months, Lu Man had also co to understand just how monstrous Lin Feng's alchemy skills were, so she added her own tempting offer.
"You two don't need to persuade . I have no interest in joining any faction for now."
—BOOM!—
Just as Lu Man was about to speak again, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the distant sky.
Everyone's attention was imdiately drawn to the source of the sound.
Without hesitation, the group rushed out of the temple and looked toward the horizon.
A portion of the sky in the far distance had been dyed a brilliant azure.
The Green Lotus Core Fla—as if stimulated by sothing—had beco uncontrollably violent.
Lin Feng's expression darkened as he stared at the heat-distorted sky.
The Heavenly Fla's terrifying aura was so intense that even people as far as the Jia Ma Empire could likely sense it.
If this attracted powerful experts—or worse, Xiao Yan—things would beco extrely troubleso.
At this mont, Xiao Yan was in the midst of a fierce battle against a peak-tier, Rank 1 magic beast.
Suddenly, a white fla instantly incinerated the beast, reducing it to nothing but ash.
A mont later, Yao Lao shot out from his ring, his expression unusually solemn as he stared toward the eastern Tagore Desert.
"Master, what's going on? Didn't you say you wouldn't intervene unless absolutely necessary?"
Seeing his opponent suddenly burn to nothing, Xiao Yan asked in confusion.
"We're heading to the Tagore Desert imdiately," Yao Lao said after a brief silence.
Xiao Yan frowned. "But Master, didn't you say I should wait until I reach Dou Shi before going there for training? I'm still only a nine-star Dou Zhe!"
Yao Lao concentrated for a mont before responding,
"I just sensed the aura of a Heavenly Fla. Let take control of your body."
As he finished speaking, Yao Lao swiftly returned to the storage ring.
"What?!"
Xiao Yan's eyes widened in shock before quickly regaining his composure. He imdiately relaxed his mind, allowing Yao Lao to take over.
A second later, Xiao Yan's black pupils turned pure white.
With a loud burst, a pair of Dou Qi wings spread from his back.
Then, like a shooting star, he blasted toward the east.
"Master! We haven't even gathered all the ingredients for the Blood Lotus Pill! We also haven't found the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain yet!"
While flying, Xiao Yan suddenly recalled that he was still missing two of the three required items for absorbing a Heavenly Fla. He spoke anxiously.
Yao Lao was silent for a mont before replying,
"We don't have ti for that. Securing the Heavenly Fla cos first. If another expert gets to it before us, it'll be even more troubleso."
Within the Yun Lan Sect, a middle-aged man was in the middle of refining a sixth-tier pill.
However, at that mont, he completely ignored the pill furnace—even as the precious pill failed.
His sharp gaze was locked on the eastern sky.
Without hesitation, he imdiately rose into the air, flying straight toward the sect leader's cultivation chambers.
Jia Ma Sacred City and Beyond
Across the Jia Ma Empire, countless powerful figures were shaken by the terrifying energy fluctuations from the east.
One after another, they hurriedly set off toward the source.
The battle for the Green Lotus Core Fla had begun.
