Chapter 217: The Transformation of Queen Medusa Master~
In this moment, within the Black Forest, after successfully completing the registration and discovering the rewards, Lin Yan was a bit puzzled. He stood in place for a moment and finally said casually, "Finally, I've gathered all the ingredients for the Spiritual Fusion Pill. It seems it's time to refine the pill for the little one."
The Herb Elder slightly frowned upon hearing Lin Yan's voice, "Young friend, this matter is not trivial. It would be better to prepare and do it in a safe place later."
Lin Yan nodded upon hearing the Herb Elder. After all, he also understood very well. Making the Spiritual Fusion Pill is only to aid in the soul fusion between the Nine-Colored Celestial Snake and Queen Medusa. But in reality, he's not sure who will dominate after their souls merge.
According to the current situation, if Queen Medusa finally gains control of the body, given her character, she might directly confront him as soon as she appears. And at that time, her strength could be at the level of the Nirvana Realm, which would be quite troublesome.
But if the Nine-Colored Celestial Snake finally gains control of the body, that would be great news for Lin Yan. After all, the little creature is very close to him. She has been raised by Lin Yan since she was small, so for her, Lin Yan is her only owner. So, at that moment, he would have a faithful companion in human form, and moreover, the Nine-Colored Celestial Snake, both in appearance and in growth potential, is exceptionally outstanding. It would be of great use to Lin Yan.
Therefore, after understanding all these things, Lin Yan could only sigh and say, "It seems I can only take the risk."
Soon, he turned to Mu Qianqian and said, "Let's go back first."
Mu Qianqian naturally did not reject Lin Yan. After hearing Lin Yan's request, they soon returned together to the Demon Grand City. But after learning that they would have to part ways, she still felt a bit reluctant in her heart. After all, the communication between their bodies and minds during this time had already completely won her over. Especially with Lin Yan mastering the double cultivation technique, it allowed Mu Qianqian to continuously increase her power while enjoying happiness. So, she felt she could hardly do without Lin Yan.
"Master, remember to come back for me later."
Before parting, Mu Qianqian said with feelings in her eyes. Lin Yan smiled and kissed Mu Qianqian on the cheek.
"Alright."
After giving her that promise, he quickly left. Naturally, he headed straight to the Dark Yin Ravine. After all, quite some time has passed, on one hand, he is worried about whether Lin Dong has subdued the Devouring Ancestral Symbol or not. And on the other hand, what he has to do next definitely cannot be interrupted by anyone. So, the Dark Yin Ravine became the best place for him.
Lin Yan continued advancing toward the Dark Yin Ravine. After a journey, he finally arrived at the place. First, he checked on Lin Dong and Xiao Yan. When he arrived, the situation was still the same as when he left; Lin Dong had not yet subdued the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and Xiao Yan was still faithfully guarding it on the side.
Seeing this, Lin Yan decided not to disturb Lin Dong. He also found an area within the Dark Yin Ravine for his personal use. Then, he took out his alchemy cauldron.
Sssss! Taking out the alchemy cauldron, Lin Yan invoked the Celestial Fire, then took out all the collected materials. This time, Lin Yan was being very careful when refining the pills.
After all, on one hand, he is refining a sixth-grade pill, and he doesn't even have a one hundred percent chance of success. On the other hand, the materials he has now are only enough for one attempt. And the soul fusion between Xiao Cai and Queen Medusa has been at a critical point for a long time. It's already an achievement that they can hold on until now, and if he makes them wait longer, problems could arise. Therefore, this time, even Lin Yan feels a great pressure.
"Young friend, do you need my help?" The Herb Elder asked Lin Yan. After all, his level of alchemy is higher, and if he takes charge of this alchemy, the final success rate would be considerably higher. But Lin Yan shook his head upon hearing this, "No, Herb Elder, I can do it myself." In times like these, if he were to retreat out of fear, a mental barrier would easily be created. Lin Yan is not such a weak person. Although the pressure of this alchemy is considerable, he still trusts that he can succeed. Therefore, he directly rejected the Herb Elder's offer.
"Well, go ahead, give it a try." The Herb Elder nodded upon hearing this and withdrew his admiring gaze. Then, he and Xiao Diao simply stood by watching Lin Yan do alchemy. Lin Yan directly invoked the Celestial Fire to temper the ingredients. Now he is a sixth-grade alchemist. Within the alchemy industry, this is already quite outstanding. Therefore, when he started alchemy, controlling the flames, he demonstrated great style. With a gesture, the greenish-blue flames appeared. He manipulated the flames to wrap around all the ingredients and then used the heat of the fire to extract the essence from the ingredients. Soon, the ingredients turned into a thick liquid after being tempered. Lin Yan waved his hand, and all the liquids headed toward the cauldron at the same time. Then, he continued manipulating the fire to burn the liquids inside the cauldron in all directions.
This process began to slow down significantly. After all, this is a sixth-grade pill, and the requirements for the alchemist during alchemy are extremely high. While refining this pill, even a small mistake could make all the alchemist's efforts in vain and completely destroy the liquids inside the cauldron. But Lin Yan is no longer the same as before. Now, he is extremely skilled in fire control. Therefore, every step in this process was performed extremely perfectly.
"This kid is really impressive." Xiao Diao and the Herb Elder were watching Lin Yan's entire alchemy process. But seeing how skilled Lin Yan was in controlling the flames, even the proud Xiao Diao couldn't help but sigh in admiration. She really had to admit it. After all, she has also been in contact with alchemy and has seen other people do alchemy. But the pills those people would refine could not be compared at all with Lin Yan's, and their alchemy methods wouldn't even deserve a comparison. Therefore, even Xiao Diao, after witnessing this scene, couldn't help but be completely impressed and let out a sigh of praise.
"The young friend's alchemy skills are truly impressive." The Herb Elder was also filled with satisfaction. After all, he has witnessed Lin Yan's growth all this time. Therefore, he also understood clearly how much effort the young man has put into getting here from the day he knew nothing about alchemy. This is also one of the reasons why the Herb Elder has been so supportive of Lin Yan all this time. He didn't just settle for having an unusual opportunity but worked diligently with it. That's why he could grow so fast. Otherwise, even if you have an exceptional opportunity, if you don't know how to seize it, it will be a total waste.
There are many people like that in the world. They start off very high, but in the end, they are surpassed by others because there was a problem in this step. "It seems like it's going to work." Seeing the concentration of spiritual energy in the air becoming denser and a medicinal aroma starting to emanate from the cauldron, Xiao Diao spoke involuntarily. Boom! A loud thunder suddenly resounded. Then, the sky filled with dark clouds, and a large bolt of lightning struck directly from the sky, hitting Lin Yan violently. "Dan's Lightning!"
Lin Yan seems to have developed immunity against lightning. After all, he has cultivated the Great Solar Thunder Body and the Thunder God's Body, and previously, when refining his body, he directly used the Black God's Thunder to temper it. That's why what many alchemists consider a terrible nightmare, the pill lightning, doesn't seem to be anything special to him. He remains impassive in his place, protecting the cauldron with his internal energy, allowing the huge lightning bolts to fall on him without any worry. And the result is more or less what Lin Yan had expected. The power of the pill lightning is quite ordinary. Under an apparent and fierce explosion of lightning, Lin Yan doesn't suffer a scratch. When the sky, which was previously white and somewhat dark, clears again, Lin Yan directly opens the cauldron. Immediately, a strong medicinal aroma emerges, and a crystalline and transparent pill jumps out from inside. Lin Yan catches it with one hand and puts it directly into a jade bottle. As for Xiao Diao, she is surprised smelling the aroma of the herbs around her. Just with this gesture, she feels that her internal energy has recovered quite a bit, demonstrating how powerful the pills refined by Lin Yan are.
"But, what are you refining this pill for?" "And about that little companion you were talking about earlier, who is it?" Xiao Diao asks curiously. Although she has been following Lin Yan and the Herb Elder for these days, and has heard some of their conversations, she doesn't fully understand the situation. "You'll know soon." Lin Yan smiles and doesn't say more. Afterwards, he directly summons Xiaocai from his ring. "Come out, little companion!" Saying this, Xiaocai appears in front of them. However, Xiaocai is extremely large now, so calling her "little companion" is no longer appropriate. She is happy to be summoned by Lin Yan, but the prolonged rejection of the soul makes her feel very tired. "You've suffered during this time. Come, eat this." Lin Yan sees her tenderly and pets her head before giving her the pill. Xiaocai doesn't hesitate to eat it. Upon swallowing the pill, its medicinal effect takes immediate effect, and she feels dizzy and drowsy instantly, falling into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Xiao Diao is astonished. "Lin Yan, is this snake the one you used to raise?" Xiao Diao can't help but ask Lin Yan. It's been a long time since she saw Xiaocai, so she doesn't know how she has grown. Additionally, she felt an instinctual caution towards Xiaocai when she saw her just now, which was quite surprising. After all, Xiao Diao is a celestial demon. This species is among the most powerful demons in the martial world. But when she saw Xiaocai, she still felt a bit of instinctual fear, which was quite unusual. "It's her, now she should have the strength of a Nirvana Rebirth. However, she had some problems with her soul, so the pill I just refined is to help her merge her souls." Lin Yan explains to Xiao Diao. Finally, Xiao Diao understands.
However, she is extremely impressed that Lin Yan is raising a Nirvana beast. It becomes increasingly difficult for her to understand Lin Yan. This guy seems to have a trick up his sleeve at all times. Before, he had the Herb Elder. And now he has a Nirvana beast. Moreover, the blood of this beast even made Xiao Diao feel a bit cautious. If she grows in the future, she will undoubtedly be a force not to be underestimated. Therefore, Xiao Diao feels that it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand Lin Yan.
Lin Yan waited patiently on the side. At the same time, he activated his internal spiritual mark and set up a bunch of high-level spiritual formations around. He was preparing in advance. After all, as mentioned earlier, it cannot be determined who will emerge victorious from this soul fusion. If Xiaocai wins, everyone will be happy. But if the Medusa Queen ultimately wins, the spiritual formations Lin Yan had prepared could be very effective. "It seems there is activity."
He stayed in place waiting for almost half a month. After half a month, suddenly, over Xiaocai's body, which had been asleep all the time, a glow of bright colors appeared. Then, her huge body began to shrink under the influence of this light. The beast's scales gradually disappeared, replaced by skin as white as snow. An extremely seductive and attractive beauty soon became apparent, her body easily capable of arousing any man's desire, appearing in front of Lin Yan with a charming smile. Xiao Diao didn't appreciate this kind of beauty. The Herb Elder, on the other hand, felt the powerful aura in front of him, and his gaze became more serious. Lin Yan also summoned his Celestial Fire, almost managing to create a bicolor fire lotus. But just at that moment, the woman in front of him finally opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion, scanning in all directions. Finally, upon seeing Lin Yan in front of her, she became excited. She jumped towards him, breaking the empty space, and appeared next to Lin Yan. Then, without hesitation, she hugged him and began kissing him repeatedly, uttering sweet words: "Master!"
