Chapter 248: 7 Star Dou Emperor, Seventh Grade Alchemist!

In the battle at Misty Cloud Mountain, the newly established Yun Cai Empire emerged.

As the biggest winner of the war, the Misty Cloud Sect's reputation reached its peak, with major families and even those beyond the empire sending their young members to join the Misty Cloud Sect, leading to rapid expansion of its power!

The imperial orphans Yao Ye and Yao Yu of the former dynasty, by voluntarily handing over all the resources accumulated by the imperial family over centuries, earned preferential treatment from the Yun Cai Empire.

The three major families of the Imperial Capital faced different fates.

The Mu family, having chosen the wrong side during the war, was later exterminated.

The Miteer Family was granted the title of "Imperial Merchant" by the Yun Cai Empire and obtained exclusive rights to various industries.

The Nalan Family entered the Yun Cai Empire's military and took command of the former Jia Ma Empire's troops.

The Snake People Tribe acquired a pleasant forest in the eastern part of the empire, with territory even covering parts of the Mulan Empire and Luo Yan Empire.

Yun Yun was busy handling the various affairs related to the Misty Cloud Sect's expansion.

Cai Lin led the Snake People Tribe's plan for a mass relocation.

Yun Tianming, however, found some leisure time to focus on practicing Dou Qi and alchemy.

One month later, using the "training cheat" of the Fallen Heart Flame within him, combined with the pure Dou Qi from refining the Demonic Poison Spot, Yun Tianming advanced from a 5 Star Dou Emperor to a 7 Star Dou Emperor!

If possible, he genuinely wanted to say to Xie Bi Yan: "Thank you for the gift~"

Meanwhile, Yun Tianming's alchemy skills also finally achieved a new breakthrough, becoming a Seventh Grade Alchemist!

"Yun Tianming, you're already a Seventh Grade Alchemist? Quickly refine ten or eight pills for me to try. Oh, what are you doing!"

Yun Tianming gave Zi Yan, who was drooling, a glare: "Seventh Grade Pills are not candy, you know? Just the value of a single herb is not less than a Sixth Grade Pill."

"Let's go! I'll take you to find treasures!"

Zi Yan, with her natural ability to sense rare treasures, impatiently pulled his arm and headed outside.

"Sure, I'm just about to head to the Chu Yun Empire to assist Xiao Yi Xian."

Yun Tianming's mind stirred, and with a whoosh, a pair of large, jade-glowing bone wings suddenly burst forth from his back. The wings slowly flapped, sensing the surrounding wind and thunder energy that had suddenly become extremely sensitive. Yun Tianming showed a satisfied smile: "This Heavenly Geese Nine Wings really has some merit."

Yan Luotian's proud Flying Dou Technique, with the speed of a 2 Star Dou Ancestor, could even rival a 5 or 6 Star Dou Ancestor. As a trophy from defeating the latter, it ultimately fell into Yun Tianming's hands.

"Ugh~ Your new wings, they just look so annoying!"

Zi Yan made a face of disdain. Her discomfort wasn't a mere illusion but stemmed from her bloodline's natural enmity.

These bone wings were taken from a Rank 7 peak Celestial Phoenix's corpse and were transformed into Yun Tianming's new Flying Dou Technique through the special crafting method of the Heavenly Geese Nine Wings. 

"You'll have them too when you grow up."

Yun Tianming ruffled Zi Yan's hair into a messy nest and, before she could react, flapped the wings and soared into the sky, flying several kilometers away in the blink of an eye. His flying speed was even comparable to a Dou Ancestor's void-walking!

"Yun Tianming, you wait for me!"

Zi Yan, fuming, stamped her foot and spread her Dou Qi Wings to give chase.

——————

Chu Yun Empire.

"This time, the extermination of the remnants of the Ten Thousand Scorpions Gate went very smoothly."

Since Xie Bi Yan's death, the Ten Thousand Scorpions Gate had been reduced to a mere group of insignificant figures. With the help of Yun Tianming and Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian easily wiped them out, making the Poison Sect the only super sect in the Chu Yun Empire!

"And Zi Yan, you also helped a great deal."

Xiao Yi Xian clenched her white jade hand, feeling the sudden surge of Dou Qi in it. Under Zi Yan's treasure hunting induction, Xiao Yi Xian found a hidden poisonous land from the forbidden area of ​​​​Ten Thousand Scorpions Gate. By absorbing the extremely pure Poison Dou Qi in it, she successfully advanced to the realm of 6 Star Dou Ancestor.

"Don't mention it. I also found a thousand-year-old spiritual herb."

Zi Yan sniffed the dark blue sapling with a strange smell in her hand, then disdainfully tossed it to Yun Tianming. "Here~ This is for you. Don't forget to refine a Seventh Grade Pill for me in the future."

"Of course."

Yun Tianming stored the dark blue sapling in his Spatial Ring. With Zi Yan as his "human radar," how could he not gather all kinds of rare treasures?

"Tianming, what are your plans next?"

Xiao Yi Xian's violet-gray eyes flickered slightly as she casually swept her snow-white hair with a faint glow, saying, "The Poison Sect has been arranged. If you need, I can also go with you."

Yun Tianming, naturally understanding Xiao Yi Xian's intentions, smiled slightly and said, "We plan to go to the Black-Corner Region to eliminate a certain force. Xiao Yi Xian, I'll be counting on you."

"You and I don't need to say such things."

Xiao Yi Xian shot him a reproachful glance, crossing her arms over her chest, her smooth chin held high, exuding a bit of a cold and aloof elder sister charm.

—————

The three immediately set off for the Black-Corner Region.

Demon Flame Valley, a long-standing top-tier power in the Black-Corner Region.

In the past, the Yan Alliance rose rapidly, swallowing up various forces everywhere, but did not dare to provoke the mighty Demon Flame Valley.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The figures of Yun Tianming, Zi Yan, and Xiao Yi Xian appeared in the sky above Demon Flame Valley.

"The valley is protected by a powerful barrier. Once entered, one's presence will be detected."

Xiao Yi Xian used Spatial Strength to try to create a breach in the barrier, but found the barrier exceptionally solid, indicating that the barrier's creator was extraordinarily powerful.

"Just a mere barrier, watch this!"

Zi Yan's body shimmered with a strange purple light. Without using any Dou Technique, she directly dove into the barrier, unaffected.

"This spatial shifting ability, even high-level Dou Ancestors can't achieve this, right?"

Xiao Yi Xian cast a surprised glance. However, considering that anyone who could stay by Yun Tianming's side was extraordinary, it made sense.

"Truly the descendant of the Ancient Void Dragon, spatial shifting is like a walk in the park."

Yun Tianming sighed inwardly. He followed Zi Yan's breach in the barrier and silently entered Demon Flame Valley.

"Hehe~ I can sense it already; this place is hiding many treasures!"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up. To her, Demon Flame Valley had become a treasure trove.

"Negotiation... seems unnecessary."

"After all, we're here to steal things, let's just take action!"

Yun Tianming raised his hand and summoned the Green Ocean Lotus Heart Flame, forming it into the shape of a Divine Halberd.
