Leaving the Snake Tribe Holy City

Feeling the Dou Huang pressure emanating from the black magic beast in front of her, Yue Mei asked in disbelief: "Has this magic beast always been by your side?"

Nodding, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "He has indeed been by my side all the time. As long as he restrains his own aura and I help to cover it up a little, most people will not be able to detect his presence from me."

Slightly flapping his Dou Qi Wings, Xiao Ling landed on the head of Rayquaza. Zi Yan beside him followed suit and rode on the neck of Rayquaza.

Waving to Yue Mei, Zi Yan said playfully: "Come on up, Rayquaza's speed is very fast, definitely much faster than your slow flight with the Dou Qi Wings."

Hearing this, Yue Mei first said to Rayquaza: "Then please give me a ride."

Seeing that Rayquaza didn't seem to object to what she said, she slowly sat sideways on his back.

Feeling the coldness coming from under her body, Yue Mei couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "Riding a sixth-level magic beast, this feeling is really wonderful. This is the first time I have ridden such a high-level magic beast in my life."

After seeing that everyone was ready, Xiao Ling patted Rayquaza's head, pointed in the direction of the Mei Snake Tribe, and said, "Go in that direction and send the snake girl home first."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Rayquaza first let out a long roar, indicating that he understood, then turned around and flew towards the Mei Snake Tribe.

This time, the flying speed of the Rayquaza is not as fast as before, and it seems to be relatively smooth. When sitting on it, you can hardly feel any bumps.

Xiao Ling sat cross-legged, took out the medicine cauldron from the storage ring, and took out the medicinal materials for refining the Dou Ling Pill one by one and placed them aside.

He took a deep breath, emptied his mind, reached out and touched the fire opening on the medicine cauldron, and the Golden Emperor's Sky Burning Flame in his body flowed out of the Dou Crystal along his tendons and jumped into the medicine cauldron.

Suddenly, a scorching temperature spread all around. If Xiao Ling had not controlled it, the medicine cauldron might not have been able to withstand the burning from the Golden Emperor's Sky Burning Flame.

When Xiao Ling summoned the Golden Emperor's Sky Burning Flame, Yue Mei behind him couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable all over. The snake people have a cold constitution and are quite resistant to the fire attribute, let alone the Heavenly Flame, the hottest thing on the Dou Qi Continent.

Gazing at the golden flame in the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Ling, Yue Mei muttered in her heart, "I didn't expect there was a Heavenly Flame in this man's body. No wonder he has such a high level of alchemy skills at this age. Before, the Queen sent people to search for Heavenly Flame in the Tager Desert, but they haven't found any news about it for such a long time. Xiao Ling is really lucky to be able to refine such a rare thing as Heavenly Flame."

Thinking of this, Yue Mei shook her head again, thinking: "Now Her Majesty the Queen should take the Breaking Sect Pill to break through the Dou Zong bottleneck, so that she doesn't have to risk her life to use the Heavenly Flame to evolve her bloodline and break through the Dou Zong, which eliminates a lot of hidden dangers. However, the news that Xiao Ling has the Heavenly Flame must be told to Her Majesty the Queen..."

As soon as she thought about it, a small snake crawled out from Yue Mei's sleeve, nodded to Yue Mei, and flew towards the holy city.

Yue Mei's actions were naturally noticed by Xiao Ling, but Xiao Ling didn't care much about this situation. Anyway, the fact that he possessed the Heavenly Flame would be known by people with some status when Mu Tie passed the information back to the imperial capital. It didn't matter if one more snake people knew about it. With his own means, he could still come and go freely around the Jiama Empire.

At most, If Medusa wanted to borrow his Heavenly Flame to evolve her bloodline, but Xiao Ling might not agree.  

Even if Xiao Ling himself agreed, he could then get a Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python as a pet. Why not?

If this Medusa is a little more honest, Xiao Ling wouldn't mind training her. She can go to the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's lair to receive the inheritance in the future. It will be easy for her to grow into a Dou Sheng. The talent of the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is one of the top ones among the Magic Beast Races.

If Medusa didn't listen to his arrangement, Xiao Ling would just extract her soul and raise the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. At most, he would refine a body for her for Zi Yan's sake.

No longer thinking about these things that have not happened yet, Xiao Ling focused his attention on the medicine cauldron in front of him, using his soul perception to control the herbs to float into the cauldron, and began to extract the essence of the medicine liquid with the Heavenly Flame...

…

Jiama Empire, Imperial Capital.

This is a quiet little courtyard, built at the very edge of the imperial capital. In the Jiama Empire, only a few people know who lives there. Mu Tie, who has served the royal family for most of his life and is now the commander-in-chief of Zhen Gui Pass, is one of those few people.

In a study room in the courtyard, a wide variety of books were piled on the desk. An old man in a linen robe was sitting on a chair behind the desk, flipping through the book with one hand and holding a cup of tea with the other hand. He put it to his mouth and took a sip, looking very relaxed and at ease.

The old man in the linen robe is none other than Jia Xingtian, the current guardian of the Jia Ma Empire, whose cultivation has reached the peak of Dou Huang.

At this moment, the sound of shoes hitting the ground was heard in the corridor outside the room, and the sound was extremely urgent. It was obvious that someone wanted to report important information.

With a wave of his hand, a burst of Dou Qi opened the door of the study, and a figure in armor appeared at the door.

Seeing this person, Jia Xingtian said with some doubt: "Mu Tie, shouldn't you be stationed at the border of Zhen Gui Pass now? Why did you come to the Imperial City to find me?"

Jia Xingtian's voice was not loud, but it entered Mu Tie's ears accurately.

Mu Tie outside the door took a breath, then bowed to Jia Xingtian and said, "I came here this time to report something important."

Hearing Mu Tie's answer, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but perk up. He put down the teacup and book in his hand and asked Mu Tie, "Then tell me, what kind of important news is it that requires you, the commander of the Zhen Gui Pass, to come here in person? If you can't explain it clearly, I will accuse you of deserting your post."

Hearing Jia Xingtian's question, Mu Tie did not delay and said directly: "Xiao Ling, who was known throughout the imperial capital a few years ago as the "first genius of the Jia Ma Empire in a thousand years", has returned to the Jia Ma Empire three days ago. Now his cultivation has broken through the Dou Wang level and he is also a sixth-grade alchemist. This time he came with a Dou Wang strongman, who he said was his companion. Now Xiao Ling has headed to the eastern part of the Jia Ma Empire, and his specific location is still unclear."
