Snake-People Race's Dispute
Xiao Yan saw that the price was fair, so he selected a relatively high-value, high-quality Rank 6 High-Level pill from his Storage Ring.
Xiao Yan was just that kind of person; if someone gave him an inch, he would return a foot.
Seeing the quality of Xiao Yan's pill, the shopkeeper immediately beamed with smiles and thanked him repeatedly.
Because of Xiao Yan's 'kindness', the price difference caused by the quality was astronomical!
Seeing a Transformation Grass in the jade box, Yue Mei, who was beside him, swallowed her saliva. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a gleam as she looked at Xiao Yan. After struggling for a while, she asked, "Young Clan Leader Xiao, have... have you already been able to refine the Transformation Pill?"
Transformation Pill, who wouldn't want it? Back then, Gu He used the Transformation Pill to exchange for the Strange Flame with Medusa. If Medusa hadn't known the secret method of using Strange Flame to evolve, Xiao Yan estimated that Medusa would definitely have traded.
It was conceivable that in the hearts of Magical Beasts, the value of the Transformation Pill was comparable to the Strange Flame.
Xiao Yan looked at the somewhat embarrassed beautiful Snake-Person in front of him. Xiao Yan had known Yue Mei earlier than Medusa, and she had even captured him to take him back as a coolie Alchemist.
Xiao Yan chuckled, "I haven't been able to refine it yet, but if I practice diligently, I should be able to in a few years."
"If 'Big Sister' Yue Mei needs my little Alchemist to help refine pills, the Flame Alliance has rules."
Yue Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xiao Yan. This guy actually still remembered what happened back then.
Without a doubt, Xiao Yan was now the living signboard of the Flame Alliance, and half of the Flame Alliance's reward system was supported by him.
Now, the Flame Alliance could pay Alchemists from the Alchemist Guild to refine low-level pills, but pills above Fifth Grade Peak could only rely on Xiao Yan.
Especially after Xiao Yan could refine the Sect Breakthrough Pill, the Flame Alliance even dug up a Dou Huang powerhouse from both the Luoyan Empire and the Mulan Empire.
It was conceivable how important Xiao Yan was to the Flame Alliance.
Suddenly, Nalan Yanran, who had been silent, looked at Xiao Yan with her beautiful eyes and blinked, "You owe me an Emperor Breakthrough Pill."
????? "Ah? When did I owe you a pill?" Xiao Yan was confused. Although the Emperor Breakthrough Pill was only a Fifth Grade Peak pill, its effect was the same as the Sect Breakthrough Pill, increasing the success rate of a Dou Wang powerhouse breaking through to Dou Huang by 20%.
But he wasn't a great philanthropist, so why would he give someone a pill for no reason?
Although my relationship with you is extraordinary, it's not that deep.
At this time, Hai Bo Dong patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and coughed lightly twice, "Did you think that you, this hands-off shopkeeper, don't have to be responsible for the Flame Alliance's establishment over the past two years?"
"Yanran has killed many enemies on the border of the Flame Alliance in recent years, and many Dou Wangs have died under her sword, accumulating a lot of merit. She has already applied to the Flame Alliance for an Emperor Breakthrough Pill, and you are the only one in the entire Flame Alliance who can refine the Emperor Breakthrough Pill."
!!!!!!! Xiao Yan was shocked when he heard this. He suddenly realized a problem and asked, "I want to ask, are there some people in the Flame Alliance who have accumulated a lot of merit and are waiting to exchange it for pills or prepare to ask me to refine pills?"
Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong's eyes flickered a little, Nalan Yanran covered her mouth and smiled, nodding, and Yue Mei's eyes were shining with stars, only Xiao Yan's eyes were dull.
At this time, Yue Er, the Little Princess, raised her hand and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, her eyes filled with comfort, "It's not some people, it's people above the Dou Wang level in the Flame Alliance. Their purpose in serving the Flame Alliance is to find you to refine pills."
"Moreover, when Medusa Queen wanted to join the Flame Alliance, she promised in the Snake-People Empire that as long as the leaders of the eight major tribes were willing to join the Flame Alliance, they could come to you to refine pills when you could refine the Transformation Pill, as long as they gathered the Medicinal Herbs for the Transformation Pill."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Xiao Yan only knew at this time that he had been sold by Medusa! Did you think the Transformation Pill was so easy to refine! That was a Rank 7 High-Level pill! One pill would take several days! "In recent years, the Three Great Empires have constantly provoked and invaded. How could the Gama Empire and the Yunlan Sect alone be able to protect it?" Nalan Yanran had been in the Flame Alliance all along, so she could say that she knew the situation of the Flame Alliance better than Xiao Yan.
The Flame Alliance did have a covenant that it would not interfere in the administration of other countries, but if other countries were attacked, then who would go to support them became a problem. Those who went to support them had to risk their lives, so how could they do it without rewards?
Moreover, the Flame Alliance would gain a lot after expanding its power, but it was still in the development stage, and its income did not cover its expenses.
Some low-level pills were also refined entirely by Yue Er, but she also received the cultivation of all the resources of the Flame Alliance, otherwise, how could she have reached the Fifth Grade in just four or five years from the strength of a Third Grade Peak Alchemist at the Alchemist Convention?
And now, it was Xiao Yan's turn to pay his debts.
Xiao Yan was of course responsible for the four leaders of the four major forces of the Flame Alliance!
"Damn it, that Medusa guy is also a hands-off shopkeeper, why do I have to make up for it!" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, why? He had to refine pills, but Medusa could cultivate in peace.
When she comes back, he must teach her a good lesson! "Oh, that sword looks pretty good."
Xiao Yan's eyes glanced at a delicate Personal Sword placed in a display case, and he was about to go over and take a look when a voice came from outside the door, "Hehe, isn't this Yue Mei? Long time no see, how come you're still a Dou Wang?"
"Oh dear, how come you're still a snake body? Haven't you transformed yet?" At this time, an arrogant voice came, and a person stepped into the store, saying with a hearty laugh.
More accurately, this wasn't a person, but a Snake-Person. However, unlike Yue Mei, this Snake-Person had already transformed for the most part. The snake tail had disappeared and turned into a pair of legs, but the face still retained snake scales, and the eyes were also snake pupils. While speaking, one could see that the snake head was pointed and long, revealing a pair of fangs.
Xiao Yan could tell at a glance that he had used the Demon Transformation Pill to transform for the most part.
Generally, Magical Beasts use the Demon Transformation Pill to transform for the most part, and then wait until they are strong enough to complete all the transformation with their strength. There was no other reason, the Transformation Pill was expensive.
Seeing the man in front of her, a flash of anger flashed in Yue Mei's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Lu Feng, you traitor, you still have the face to show up!"
The man called Lu Feng coldly smiled, mockingly saying with disdain, "How amusing. This is the Heavenly Serpent Empire of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Why can't I be here?"
"Besides, I am not a traitor. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion is the true orthodoxy, and this is the homeland of my race, not that damned desert."
When Xiao Yan and the others rode the Nethersea Flood Dragon to the Heavenly Serpent Empire, they had heard Hua She'er and Yue Mei say that the relationship between Medusa's Snake-People Empire and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was not good, even somewhat hostile.
After all, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had great ambitions, wanting to unify the entire Northwest Region and enter the Central State. Naturally, the only Snake-People force in the Northwest Region that refused to join the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was a thorn in their side.
Most importantly, there were rumors that both the Snake-People Empire and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion were descended from ancestors who lived in the Central State.
However, something happened later, and both were expelled from the Central State and exiled to the Northwest Region, eventually evolving into the current Snake-People Empire and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Now, the most powerful snake race in the Central State is the Nine Serene Earthly Underworld Serpent Race.
This is why the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has always wanted to return to the Central State, because their homeland is there, and they want to go back.
From the conversation, Xiao Yan guessed that the Snake-People man in front of him must have been a tribal leader of the Snake-People Empire, but later betrayed and joined the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
This was not a strange thing. In the world of Magical Beasts, such things were too normal. Rather, it was a miracle that Medusa, with only Dou Huang strength, had managed to persist for so long.
"No wonder Medusa risked her life to evolve. It seems the Snake-People Race is more precarious than imagined." Xiao Yan couldn't help but think of that extraordinary woman who risked her life for evolution.
Lu Feng glanced at Yue Mei, his eyes filled with some aggression, and smiled, "Yue Mei, I heard that Medusa joined some alliance with you. Hahaha, so many years have passed, and you still haven't improved. How about joining my Lu Snake Tribe with your Mei Snake Tribe? I guarantee that if you obediently follow me, you will definitely reach Dou Huang within two years, and even get a Rank 6 High-Level Demon Transformation Pill. I believe you will soon surpass Medusa."
"A Rank 6 High-Level pill, that broken empire doesn't even have a Rank 5 Alchemist."
Hearing Lu Feng's words, Yue Mei just gritted her teeth, but she didn't refute anything. The Snake-People Empire was indeed backward and poor, and being in the great desert was unavoidable.
"Hey, you stinky snake, do you want to die? How dare you bully my people!" Zi Yan immediately puffed out her chest and raised her small fist.
As a member of the Magical Beasts, she naturally regarded herself as the big sister, and in terms of age, let alone Yue Mei, even the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King and the Nethersea Flood Dragon had to call her 'Grand-Aunt'.
Lu Feng couldn't help but glance coldly at the Flame Alliance group. Sensing that the strongest among them was only Hai Bo Dong, an Eight Star Dou Huang, he sneered and said, "Heh heh, these are the people from your Flame Alliance participating in this Sect Assembly? It seems you have indeed declined, even weaker than Medusa."
"Having no strength and still trying to come to the Huangquan Treasure Pavilion."
Hai Bo Dong's eyes turned cold, and he was about to speak, but Xiao Yan lightly waved his hand, looked at the guy who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth because he had joined the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and said with a smile, "So, you want to compete with me?"
"Let's not talk about competing. A Rank 7 Magical Beast weapon is indeed a good thing. It can be presented as a gift to the Holy Maiden in a few days."
Seeing that Xiao Yan was so young and already a Three Star Dou Huang, it made him, who was once known as the Snake-People Empire's genius second only to Medusa, feel jealous.
Especially seeing so many beauties accompanying him, including Yue Mei, it made the extremely vain Lu Feng feel uncomfortable.
When Xiao Yan heard the words 'Holy Maiden', a subtle look flashed in his eyes.
"Shopkeeper, I want this sword. Have it sent to the Elder Residence!" Lu Feng glanced at Xiao Yan and sneered.
Seeing Lu Feng being so aggressive, Yue Mei was about to speak, but in the end, it turned into a sigh. Originally, considering that they were once of the same race and had fought together, she didn't want to end up as enemies. However, sometimes she was powerless to change things. Here, her status could be said to be the lowest, and she knew that Lu Feng was asking for trouble!
At this time, the shopkeeper of the Huangquan Treasure Pavilion couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan. After all, Xiao Yan had taken a fancy to it first, and most importantly, Xiao Yan was more important to him.
Only if Xiao Yan didn't want it could he sell it to the next customer.
"Shopkeeper, don't care who came first. No matter how much he offers, I will offer more than him! In short, today, I am determined to have this sword!" Seeing the shopkeeper looking at Xiao Yan first, Lu Feng was arrogant and said to the shopkeeper.
Seeing that Lu Feng was planning to use his wealth to overwhelm Xiao Yan, even Nalan Yanran revealed a sneer, standing aside and waiting to watch the show. This guy really didn't know how high the sky was, and probably forgot his own mother's name.
Comparing wealth with a Seventh Grade Alchemist, the entire Gama Empire and Snake-People Empire combined were not as rich as him.
"Always offer more than me?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and said, "With you, who can't even afford a Transformation Pill, you want to compete with me? Shopkeeper, I want this item."
Just as Lu Feng was about to scold, Xiao Yan said lightly, "One Huangji Pill."
"Huangji Pill!!!" The shopkeeper exclaimed in shock.
Don't think that Xiao Yan casually gave Huangji Pills to Hai Bo Dong and Yun Yun, but the preciousness of the Huangji Pill was in the top three among Rank 6 pills.
For a Huangji Pill, the three leaders of the Black-Corner Region did not hesitate to lead all their sects to fight Han Feng, which showed the value of a Huangji Pill.
Although Xiao Yan had also given a Rank 6 High-Level pill in exchange for Medicinal Herbs just now, if it was a Huangji Pill, he would need to add at least one more portion of Medicinal Herbs.
"You you... don't talk nonsense. Do you think Huangji Pills are pebbles on the roadside? Can you take them out!" Lu Feng snorted coldly, naturally not believing that Xiao Yan could take out a Huangji Pill.
Xiao Yan didn't waste any words, just mocked him, and directly took out a pill bottle from his Storage Ring and threw it to the shopkeeper. The casualness made it seem like he was really throwing pebbles.
The shopkeeper was nervous, and quickly caught the pill bottle. Seeing the round luster and gently smelling it, a pill fragrance that made his whole body relax wafted out.
"It is indeed a Huangji Pill."
Hearing the shopkeeper's confirmation, Lu Feng's face changed drastically, his face turned pale, and he glared at Xiao Yan. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "A Huangji Pill is all it is, I can give it too."
"No, no, no, look carefully. That's a Huangji Pill of the highest quality, and refined with a Strange Flame. If you want to be higher than me, you'll need to bring out a Huangtian Pill or a Sect Breakthrough Pill." Xiao Yan gently shook his head and smiled.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded slightly and said, "That's right, this Huangji Pill is of extremely high quality, the best I've ever seen in my life. I'm afraid it would be difficult to find a Huangji Pill of higher quality than this. If you want something even better, you'd need a Huangtian Pill, a Sect Breakthrough Pill, or a Rank 7 Pill."
"However, whether it was refined with a Strange Flame, this old man cannot determine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan lightly snapped his fingers, and with a 'snap', a ball of cyan-green flames appeared in front of him.
Xiao Yan used practical actions to prove that Strange Flame? He had it, and quite a few at that.
