Chapter 122 Processing
The only witness, Zi Yan, was controlled by Lin Yuan, and Queen Medusa immediately regained her composure.

She walked to Qinglin and noticed that there was still a faint blush on Qinglin's face. She immediately realized that Qinglin obviously knew about what happened between her and Lin Yuan in the colorful space.

She smiled slightly, bent down and gently picked up Xiaocai who was lying on Qinglin's legs.

"Qinglin, thank you for helping take care of Xiaocai."

Facing Qinglin, Queen Medusa's voice was very calm. As long as Qinglin did not witness those scenes in person, she could respond calmly with the attitude of an older and more mature person.

Hearing the voice of Queen Medusa, her cheeks flushed even more. She hurriedly stood up, waved her hands, and whispered, "No, you're welcome, Queen Sister. Xiao Cai is very cute, very obedient, and very easy to take care of. I like her very much."

Looking at Qinglin, a hint of interest flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes, and she couldn't help but have a teasing thought in her heart.

She leaned close to Qinglin's ear and chuckled softly, "Haha, little Qinglin, you should know what happened between me and your young master! Don't worry, that day will come to you too."

"Ah~" Qing Lin exclaimed when she heard that. Then, as if she had thought of something, her cheeks instantly turned bright red, almost bleeding.

Queen Medusa laughed when she saw this, and thought to herself, "What an interesting little girl. The little man is really lucky to have met her when she was weak."

Medusa highly values ​​Qinglin's potential, and is happy to fulfill Qinglin's wishes. Her little man has the ambition to reach the top, and Qinglin is undoubtedly an important helper on this road. She does not intend to hold Lin Yuan back.

In the eyes of Queen Medusa, she had already taken the lead by taking the initiative and coming from behind to win the spoils.

Now that you’ve already taken the first and best bite of the delicacy, you’re already invincible, so it doesn’t hurt to be a little generous.

At this time, Lin Yuan came over with Zi Yan.

He looked at the three people in front of him and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

Queen Medusa glanced at Qinglin, whose face had become even more rosy, and said meaningfully, "Nothing, we were talking about the inheritance of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils."

"Oh?" Just as Lin Yuan was about to say something, Xiao Cai in Queen Medusa's arms woke up.

After Xiao Cai woke up, she yawned, twisted her body, and slid down from Queen Medusa's arms to the ground. She rubbed her eyes, looked at Queen Medusa, sniffed, and looked a little puzzled. She said, "Mother, why do you feel a little different from before?"

Lin Yuan walked forward and used his soul power to probe Xiao Cai's soul. He smiled and asked, "Oh? Xiao Cai, what has changed about your mother?"

Xiao Cai tilted her head, pondered for a while, and then said seriously: "Daddy, mother has become warmer and more motherly."

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa smiled slightly, touched Xiao Cai's head, and looked at Lin Yuan. At this time, Lin Yuan also looked at her with a smile, and an atmosphere of tacit understanding flowed between the two.

Qing Lin, who was standing aside, looked at the atmosphere between the two of them, feeling a little envious and a little expectant.

Not long after, Lin Yuan also completed the exploration of Xiao Cai's soul, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"Sure enough, I had some expectations when I heard the Queen talk about Xiao Cai's performance and performance this year, but I didn't expect there would really be this problem. It seems that Xiao Cai's soul problem needs to be solved at some time."

Lin Yuan glanced at Queen Medusa, who immediately understood and said calmly: "The matter here is over, let's go back to the Serpent Man Holy City."

"Let's go, everyone. Let's go to the Holy City."

Afterwards, Lin Yuan and Queen Medusa took action to erase Lin Yuan's aura from the battle area, and everyone left the place and flew towards the royal city.

Gama Empire, Gama Holy City.

In the center of the Holy City of Jiama, on a high tower inside the imperial city, a man named Jia Xingtian, dressed in a linen robe, stared at the mountain in the northwest that was like a giant dragon with a vague look in his eyes.

At this time, a mature and cold woman walked up behind him and bowed, "Grandpa, the identity of Yan Xiao has been roughly found out."

"Well done, Yaoye, you found it in such a short time." Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian showed an admiring look in his eyes, then turned around and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, this top genius who seems to have suddenly appeared, Yan Xiao, what is his origin?"

Hearing Jia Xingtian's question, Yao Ye showed a strange expression on his face, "Grandfather, Yan Xiao should be Xiao Yan, one of the two protagonists of the three-year agreement."

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian was surprised and asked, "Xiao Yan? The Xiao Yan who was broken off the engagement by Nalan Yanran of the Nalan family and then made a three-year agreement. Didn't he become a waste who can't cultivate Dou Qi?"

"Great grandfather, three years ago, Xiao Yan had already recovered his talent and got rid of the title of waste. In fact, his talent became more terrifying than before. He broke through five levels of Dou Qi in one year. In less than a year and a half, he became a four-star Dou Zhe and passed the assessment of Canaan Academy. But he did not go to the academy, but asked for leave to go out for training."

"Now, he is already a great fighter and a third-grade alchemist."

Speaking of this, Yao Ye couldn't help but marvel at it, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Hearing Yao Ye's words, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Is Yan Xiao really Xiao Yan? Is Xiao Yan's talent really so terrifying?"

"Almost exactly." Yao Ye nodded and said in a deep voice, "Many things and times match up. The name Yan Xiao, the relationship between him and Ya Fei, and the hostility towards Nalan Yanran and Yunlan Sect that he inadvertently revealed in his words."

Thinking of Ya Fei, Yao Ye couldn't help but bite her lips gently. She was no worse than Ya Fei in any aspect, but Xiao Yan and Ya Fei had a much closer relationship than she did.

Jia Xingtian pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the little guy came to the imperial capital not only to participate in the alchemy conference, but also to fulfill the three-year appointment."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Jia Xingtian showed a strange smile on his face, "He has become a great fighting master and a third-grade alchemist in just three years. If old man Nalan knew about this kind of talent, he would regret it to death. Moreover, he can grow so fast, there must be a strong person behind him to support him. Yaoye, what do you think?"

Yao Ye thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, we should try our best to win over Xiao Yan. Because of Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan is naturally hostile to Yunlan Sect and his stance is closer to our royal family. More importantly, his potential and the hidden parts of him are worth our investment."

"So, what are you going to do?" Jia Xingtian asked playfully.

Yao Ye calmed down and said seriously: "Do three things: First, stand up for him during the three-year agreement; second, show favor to the Xiao family, including the Xiao family and Xiao Yan's two brothers in Shimo City; third, make friends with Xiao Yan himself, and it would be best if they could form a marriage alliance."

"Based on the three-year agreement and the intelligence we got from the investigation, Xiao Yan is a very loyal person. We have given enough, and if he can grow up, he will be generous in return. He may even help us get rid of that person in the future."

Hearing Yaoye's words, Jia Xingtian nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you should do your best to do the last two things. And when the three-year agreement comes, I will also act accordingly. During this period, you can put your official duties aside, and you and Yue'er should communicate more with Yanxiao. It would be best if such a hero could join my royal family."

"Yes, great grandfather." Yao Ye said respectfully.

Then she seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up.

Soon, an order was issued from the Jiama Imperial Capital: the mayor of Wutan City was transferred to the Imperial Capital, and Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family in Wutan City, was appointed as the new mayor of Wutan City.

At the same time, on a hillside outside the holy city of Gama.

Xiao Yan, dressed in a black alchemist robe, stood in front of a fiery red medicine cauldron with a focused look, carefully controlling the Wind Fury Dragon Flame to nourish the elixir.

Soon, a strong elixir fragrance rose from the medicine cauldron. Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy when he smelled this familiar elixir fragrance.

A suction force burst out from the palm of his hand, and a blue and green pill flew out of the cauldron and fell into Xiao Yan's hand. Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle, put the pill in it, then exhaled heavily, with a faint smile on his face.

"The fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pill is done." Just as Xiao Yan was overjoyed, the jade bottle in his hand flew out and landed in front of Yao Lao.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly became a little more nervous, "Teacher, how about this pill?"

During this period, Yao Lao was extremely strict when teaching alchemy, so strict that Xiao Yan was a little scared.

"When melting and storing the pill, there were two small mistakes in the temperature control, which caused the quality of this pill to drop to a lower level. But, you did a good job, my disciple. Xiao Yan, congratulations, you have become a fourth-grade alchemist."

Looking at Xiao Yan who had a nervous look on his face, Yao Lao showed a satisfied smile. This disciple was an excellent choice in terms of both talent and character.

Hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

After three years of living together day and night, the words "well done" from Yao Lao, who was both his master and father, meant far more to Xiao Yan than the countless compliments he had received in the past few months.

During this time in the imperial capital, Xiao Yan once again felt the feeling of being held in high esteem. However, now he is no longer the young man from Wutan City who gets carried away by the optimism of outsiders. After seeing the real peak, Xiao Yan has set his ambition and is moving towards the real peak step by step. Whether it is the scenery of the imperial capital or the beauties of the imperial capital, they are all scenery along the way.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan missed the beautiful girl even more. He looked towards the Black Horn Region from afar, "Xun'er, the three-year agreement is almost up, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Yao Lao, who was standing by, thought of the things that the girl had sent and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Xiao Yan was not dazzled by the splendor of Jia Ma Holy City, otherwise it would be really hard to explain to that little girl."

"However, that little girl is really willing to give away a soul treasure like the Heavenly Soul Branch. That's good. This way, when the three-year agreement comes, if that young man from the Yunlan Sect gets angry and ignores the people of the Jiama Empire who support Xiao Yanzi and attacks Xiao Yanzi, I can personally deal with it."

"However, although that girl is affectionate, it will not be easy for Xiao Yan to gain the recognition of that clan!"

Thinking of this, Yao Lao said seriously: "Xiao Yanzi, do you miss your girlfriend? Then you have to work harder. It is not an easy thing to be worthy of her."

"Teacher, is Xun'er's background really that powerful? Even you, the continent's number one alchemist, are so afraid of her."

Yao Lao smiled faintly and said, "Oh, Xiao Yanzi, your girlfriend's background is even more terrifying than you think now, so don't have any fluke mentality. If you can't show enough strength and potential, you will not be able to succeed."

"I understand, teacher!" Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his eyes showing a bit more determination, "I will overcome all obstacles step by step and become someone worthy of Xun'er."

"Then focus on the present. Your first challenge is the Gama Empire's Alchemy Conference, which is held every eight years. With your current alchemy skills, you may not be able to win the championship of the conference. You need to improve!"

"is teacher!"

The Holy City of Snakemen, the Alchemy Hall.

A year later, Lin Yuan brought the unconscious Han Feng here again and threw him to the center of the hall.

This time he returned to the Serpent Man Empire without much fanfare, and only Yue Mei and a few others knew that the Elder Alchemist was back. At the same time, he also discovered that the city was much emptier than before.

After Queen Medusa settled everyone down, she also came to the alchemy hall.

She looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes a little more nervous, and asked: "From the look in your eyes before, is there anything unusual about Xiao Cai's condition?"

"Yeah!" Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "I have a good idea of ​​what you told me yesterday. Xiao Cai's sleepiness is not only due to her personality or the need to digest the medicine in her body, but also because of her lack of soul power. Sleep is the simplest and most basic way to reduce the consumption of soul power and nourish the soul."

"Is there a lack of soul power?" Medusa frowned slightly when she heard this. "I don't know much about souls. Is it caused by the secret method of evolution at that time?"

"Yes," Lin Yuan confirmed her guess and continued to explain: "At the beginning, when you were evolving, even though you had the help of a series of means such as the Heavenly Soul Pill, your souls were ultimately split into two. You inherited most of the soul power, and she only inherited a small part of the soul power."

"Is this also the reason why I am at level seven after my soul condensed into a body, while Xiao Cai is only at level five?" Queen Medusa asked thoughtfully.

"That's right. Originally, Xiao Cai should not have been able to become an independent individual. But because I improved the evolution plan and personally gathered her spirit, she was able to be born into the world as an independent life. However, there are still some flaws in her soul."

With a more solemn expression, Medusa asked in a deep voice: "Lin Yuan, do you have any solution?"

Lin Yuan gave her a reassuring smile, stretched out his hand, smoothed her frown, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I have made great progress in my research on the soul this year. It is not difficult for me to solve this problem now. In fact, I already have several solutions in mind."

"Here!" Lin Yuan kicked the unconscious Han Feng at his feet, "The recipe we seized from this guy contains the medicine that can solve this problem, and the main ingredient is Soul Essence Fruit."

"We got two Soul Yuan Fruits from the Mulan Empire before. We used one when refining the Heavenly Soul Pill, and the remaining one can be used this time. Maybe this is some kind of wonderful fate!"

"Is it fate?" Queen Medusa felt relieved when she heard Lin Yuan's words. She glanced at Han Feng and said, "Then who is this unlucky guy you are targeting?"

"Han Feng, a guy who appears to be a sixth-grade alchemist but is actually a seventh-grade alchemist. I caught him when I left the Black Horn Region. Thanks to him, I suddenly have enough resources to support you and Xiao Cai."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Queen Medusa couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. She was a powerful Dou Zong master and the queen of snakemen. Did she need him to support her?
"But, a seventh-grade alchemist?"

Queen Medusa continued to look at Han Feng. It was the first time she saw a seventh-grade alchemist, but she didn't expect it to be in this form.

The idea of ​​the Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill flashed through her mind, but she immediately rejected the idea. When the pill was needed, Lin Yuan should be a seventh-grade alchemist, so she could just let him do it.

Suddenly, Queen Medusa, who was investigating, sensed a huge force from Han Feng's body. As a life that evolved under the burns of the strange fire, she was somewhat sensitive to this destructive force.

"There seems to be a destructive force hidden deep inside his body, which is somewhat similar to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. Could it be that he also has a strange fire?"

"Well, this is one of the reasons why I arrested him, and it's also one of the reasons why he's still alive. But that's it. Now that we're here, it's time to get rid of him."

Confirming Queen Medusa's guess, Lin Yuan looked at Han Feng's body and the Sea Heart Flame in his body with a deep gaze.

During this time, Lin Yuan had completed the research on Han Feng's half of the Burning Technique and the part he completed, and conducted many experiments on him. Apart from the Sea Heart Flame and the soul of the seventh-grade alchemist, Han Feng was no longer of much use to him.

“Queen, you will set up a five-layer space barrier around this hall to completely isolate the aura of this place. I want to do some experiments here.” Lin Yuan said in a deep voice.

Seeing Lin Yuan's serious expression, Queen Medusa nodded slightly, "I'll deal with it immediately."

As soon as she finished speaking, the space shook slightly, and her figure disappeared in front of Lin Yuan, and she began to act decisively.

"My queen is really a fierce and decisive person."

Afterwards, Lin Yuan looked back at Han Feng, and two methods of grafting strange fire that were commonly used throughout the continent flashed through his mind: forcibly seizing the strange fire and inheriting it. Naturally, he wanted to do the former.

Forcible seizure, this method of seizing the fire requires the person being seized to have no resistance. Moreover, once the fire is successfully seized, the person being seized will gradually die as the fire leaves the body.

Of course, it's not absolute, it all depends on strength. Even if Dou Zun or above are forcibly deprived of their strange fire, it will hardly threaten their lives. But forcibly extracting the strange fire is enough to be fatal to Han Feng, who is practicing the Incomplete Burning Technique.

Thinking of the secret method of extracting the strange fire that he got from Han Feng, Lin Yuan smiled with pleasure.

"Han Feng, dying from the secret techniques you collected yourself is an interesting ending for you."
