Chapter 166: Plunder and Pie

Lin Yuan gently reached out his right hand to the collar of Zi Yan's neck, then with a little force, he lifted up Zi Yan, who was mumbling in his arms.

"Xiao Zi——"

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, and a serious look began to brew on his face.

Seeing this, Zi Yan smiled awkwardly and tactfully began to change the subject: "Brother, didn't you say you would take me treasure hunting? Hey, you know me well. I can definitely help you find all the treasures. Let's go!"

As she spoke, Zi Yan's crystal clear purple eyes blinked, making her look innocent and naive.

Faced with Zi Yan's playful look, Lin Yuan could only reveal a helpless and doting smile.

He gently put Zi Yan on the ground, rubbed his forehead helplessly, then rubbed Zi Yan's little head hard, and turned his gaze to Jia Xingtian beside him.

"Let's go, Jia Xingtian, let's go to the Imperial City."

"Yes, Star Lord." Jia Xingtian responded in a deep voice, but his heart was filled with indescribable shock: "This little girl is a Dou Huang? An eleven or twelve year old Dou Huang? Is this world crazy? What secrets does the Seven Stars Organization hide?"

Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian's face showed even more respect.

"You two, please follow me."

As he spoke, Jia Xingtian spread his khaki wings and flew quickly towards the imperial city.

Zi Yan jumped into Lin Yuan's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, and clung to him like a piece of taffy. She winked mischievously and said, "Brother, you told me to keep a low profile outside and not draw too much attention."

"Hehe, you don't want too many people to notice me because of my fighting wings, do you?"

Lin Yuan heard this and looked at Zi Yan, who looked mischievous. He couldn't help but laugh. Who did he learn this from? However, when he recalled his daily interactions with Zi Yan.

It seems to be Lin Yuan himself, so it's okay.

Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly. This little guy always learns very quickly from strange things.

"Brother, hurry up, the old man is almost gone." Zi Yan urged, "Don't be too late or you'll miss the treasure!"

"Okay, okay! Let's go."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuan spread his wings and flew towards the imperial city.

At the same time, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

As the actual ruler of this land, the Jia Ma royal family is not as powerful as the Yun Lan Sect, but its financial resources are not inferior to the Yun Lan Sect which has a sect system.

In the original storyline, in order to heal the royal guardian beast, the Youhai Jiao Beast, the Jia Ma royal family prepared ten portions of medicinal materials for the sixth-grade elixir, the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill.

This is certainly because they value the dark sea dragon beast, but it also shows the strong financial resources of the Jia Ma royal family.

"It looks like we'll have quite a harvest this time!"

Led by Jia Xingtian, the three of them passed through the heavily guarded imperial city and finally arrived at a remote garden. This was where Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong had their sparring match yesterday, and where Jia Xingtian usually lived.

After a few people fell down, Zi Yan couldn't wait to get off Lin Yuan.

She sniffed the air, and after a moment, an expression of extreme surprise appeared in her eyes. Zi Yan looked at Lin Yuan excitedly.

"Brother, I feel that there are many good things here. They should be underground there..."

As she spoke, Zi Yan pointed her finger at a rockery in the garden.

Then, Zi Yan pointed to several places in succession, "There are some underground over there, and there, and there..."

Soon, Zi Yan accurately counted all the treasure hiding places here.

Seeing this, Jia Xingtian's heart skipped a beat. This little girl has the special ability to sense treasures? Who is she?

At this moment, Jia Xingtian was in a very complicated mood, feeling somewhat relieved and somewhat sad.

"Fortunately, they didn't plan to use the treasury of the palace to fool us this time, otherwise it would be dangerous. If they really tried to fool us, with Star Lord's temper, it would be really dangerous this time. However, this time we are really going to bleed a lot..."

Lin Yuan looked at Jia Xingtian with satisfaction, and said with satisfaction: "Jia Xingtian, it seems that you are not planning to fool me, that's good, take me to the treasure house!"

Jia Xingtian smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was very generous. After saying "This is what I should do", he used his powerful fighting spirit to separate the rockery and open the passage to the treasure house.

Lin Yuan and Zi Yan smiled at each other, and amid Zi Yan's laughter, the two of them skillfully began this round of looting.

An hour later, Lin Yuan, Zi Yan and Jia Xingtian walked out of the last underground treasure house.

At this moment, Zi Yan's face was flushed with excitement, and as she jumped and walked, it seemed that even the air around her was sweet.

Lin Yuan's face was also filled with an undisguised look of satisfaction.

His harvest today was huge, and he obtained a collection that exceeded the entire Snake Empire's medicinal material warehouse. That was a huge amount of medicinal materials that was enough to refine dozens of sixth-grade pills.

Jia Xingtian suppressed his heartache and tried to put on a loyal smile, but his smile contained bitterness that could not be concealed. After all, the high-level natural treasures and rare treasures accumulated by the royal family for hundreds of years were swept away by the two people in front of him today.

"But it's not without gain. At least the Star Lord has changed my name from Jia Xingtian to Jia Lao. It's a lot closer to me, isn't it?"

Just as Jia Xingtian was comforting himself in his heart, Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at him.

Seeing Jia Xingtian's forced smile, Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Mr. Jia, I see the sincerity of you and the Jiama royal family. I said before that I would not mistreat those who work for me, so let me help you solve a problem that has been bothering you for a long time!"

Jia Xingtian heard this and said, "Star Lord, do you mean..."

"Aren't you troubled by the injury of that dark sea dragon beast? Today, I will help you solve this problem first."

"Thank you, Star Lord." Jia Xingtian was overjoyed when he heard this.

"It's okay. It's just a small matter that can be solved with a sixth-grade pill." Lin Yuan waved his hand and said casually, "It just so happens that you have collected a lot of medicinal materials for the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill. I will refine it here and help the royal family solve this problem."

Then, he looked around and nodded, "The environment here is good, let's practice here! Jia Lao, Xiao Zi, the two of you will protect me."

Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered that Xiao Zi was her alias, so she pounded her chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, leave this to me."

Jia Xingtian also nodded quickly, "Star Lord, you can concentrate on refining the elixir, and leave the protection to us."

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he said carefully, "Can you give Yue'er a chance to watch you make the medicine? If she can witness the process of making a sixth-grade pill, it will surely be a valuable experience for her."

"Watch me make medicine? That's fine." Lin Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Let her do it. How much she can gain depends on herself."

After a pause, Lin Yuan said meaningfully: "Yaoyue has a good talent in alchemy. She is a good seedling. She has a good chance of becoming a sixth-grade alchemist in the future, and she also has a chance to get a glimpse of the realm of a seventh-grade alchemist." "As long as there is a suitable opportunity." Lin Yuan's tone on the word opportunity was particularly heavy.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded in understanding and said, "I understand, please wait a moment, Star Lord." Then he hurriedly flew towards the little princess's palace.

Lin Yuan immersed his mind in the storage ring, and scanned the huge amount of medicinal materials in the ring, with a slight smile on his face.

"The century-old collection of the Jiama royal family is indeed rich, and the reserves of medicinal materials are not inferior to Han Feng."

"After this round of looting, the medicinal materials for Longxuan Tempering Pill have been prepared. Once the natal blood pill has finished nourishing the body, the Longxuan Tempering Pill can be refined and the Douhuang stage of body refining can be completed."

"Moreover, with the support of this batch of medicinal materials, the formula of the Tianyuan Quenching Pill that I have been deducing for a long time should be completed. I am really looking forward to it..."

Not long after, Jia Xingtian flew back carrying Yaoyue, who looked confused.

After landing, Yaoyue looked at Lin Yuan in surprise and said in disbelief: "It's you? The alchemist who wants to refine the sixth-grade elixir that your great grandfather mentioned? You are so young, how is it possible? Great grandfather..."

Before she could finish her words, her voice became smaller and smaller under Jia Xingtian's unprecedented serious gaze.

Afterwards, Jia Xingtian withdrew his stern gaze from Yaoyue, looked at Lin Yuan, and said with a cupped hand: "Star Lord, please don't be offended. Yaoyue has been spoiled by me since she was a child."

"It's okay." Lin Yuan glanced at Zi Yan and chuckled, "It's not a bad thing for a little girl to be more lively."

Then, he looked at Yaoyue and said solemnly: "When I was refining the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill, you carefully observed my techniques. Although your current alchemy skills are considered excellent among your peers, you are still far from the peak."

When Yaoyue saw this, she finally understood that this was definitely not a joke.

So she nodded quickly, "Yes", this opportunity to observe the high-level alchemist making pills was extremely precious to her.

Lin Yuan nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the fiery red Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron landed on a piece of bluestone not far away with a "bang". With another wave of his hand, a whole set of Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pills' medicinal materials fell neatly beside the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron.

Then, Lin Yuan flicked his finger and a streak of green fire shot into the medicine cauldron, expanding and turning into a blazing flame.

As a wisp of fighting spirit drew several medicinal herbs placed nearby into the Wanshou Ding, the refining of the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill officially began!
A few hours later, in Jia Xingtian's royal garden, an extremely strong elixir fragrance filled the air.

At the same time, subtle energy fluctuations and low energy collision sounds were heard from the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, but in the end, no major abnormalities were revealed. The Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron had a strong suppressive power on the abnormalities in the formation of general sixth-grade elixirs.

After a while, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a round green pill flew out of the medicine cauldron and fell into Lin Yuan's hands.

After a brief inspection, Lin Yuan nodded, and calmly put the top-grade Hunyuan Bone-shaping Pill in his hand into the jade bottle.

"The sixth-grade intermediate elixir, the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill, is ready."

For Lin Yuan today, he can successfully refine this level of elixir in one go.

Glancing at Jia Xingtian, who could hardly conceal his eagerness, Lin Yuan threw the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill in his hand to him and said with a smile, "Let's go. We have to solve the problem of the Nether Sea Flood Beast today. To maximize the medicinal power of this pill, you still need my help."

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian bowed to Lin Yuan again and said seriously: "In this case, I have to trouble the Star Lord again."

Jia Xingtian was extremely concerned about the injury of the Youhai Jiao Beast. Because as long as the Youhai Jiao Beast could recover, with the protection of this sixth-level magical beast that had guarded the Jiama royal family for a long time, he could safely strive for the Dou Zong realm.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and smiled calmly, "It's just a small matter, you can do it later."

Then, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to the little Princess Yaoyue standing beside him.

At this moment, she was looking at Lin Yuan with admiration, recalling the smooth and flowing medicine-making technique that Lin Yuan had just performed.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Little Princess, I think you should have gained something today. You should also know that you are still a long way from the peak in alchemy."

Upon hearing this, the little princess's arrogance completely disappeared and she performed impeccable courtesy towards Lin Yuan.

"Thank you, Master, for your teachings, Yaoyue."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, thought for a moment, then took out some notes from his ring and handed them to her.

"These notes are from when I was studying alchemy. They are no longer useful to me, so I am giving them to you."

Yaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she took the note from Lin Yuan and said, "Thank you, Master."

Lin Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly, held Zi Yan beside him, looked at Jia Xingtian meaningfully and said: "Old Jia, I think Yaoyue has the appearance of a seventh-grade talent. If there is an opportunity, the royal family must help her seize it!"

Glancing at Yaoyue, who was filled with joy, Jia Xingtian nodded solemnly, "Star Lord, rest assured, my royal family will definitely seize this opportunity."

"That's good!"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly. In this way, the pie for the royal family was ready.

Whether it was Jia Xingtian or his beloved younger generation Yaoyue, Lin Yuan showed them a future full of temptation.

"With the Gama royal family and the Miter family competing with each other, the efficiency of Tianshu's affiliated forces in collecting resources in the Gama Empire should be greatly improved."

"The Xiao family also kicked them out through migration, and the Soul Palace will not have much interest in this place anymore."

"In this way, the construction of Tianshu's affiliated Gama branch is completed, and the Gama Empire is basically under my control. From now on, whether it is collecting various natural treasures, launching wars, or harvesting a large number of souls, it will be much easier."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a little more cheerful. "Let's go, Jia Lao, to the Deep Sea Flood Beast."

As he spoke, he walked with a relaxed pace towards the direction where he sensed the majestic aura of water element.

It didn't take long for Lin Yuan and others to fly to a huge lake in the huge back mountain of the imperial city.

"My royal family's guardian beast is at the bottom of this lake." Jia Xingtian pointed to the lake and introduced.

Lin Yuan nodded and looked towards the huge lake. With his perception, he could naturally feel the powerful yet slightly weak aura at the bottom of the lake.

"Hey, there's actually a big snake in this lake. It looks like it's pretty powerful." Zi Yan said beside Lin Yuan.

"If it heals, it should be at the level of a seven or eight-star Douhuang." Lin Yuan stroked Zi Yan's long purple hair and chuckled, "You seem quite bored recently. After I heal its wound, I'll let it be your 'playmate' for a while!"

"It's quite strong and has a lot of combat experience. It's a good punching bag. It should be able to help you hone your skills."

"Really?" Zi Yan looked at Lin Yuan excitedly and asked.

"Haha, of course it's true."

After receiving Lin Yuan's affirmative answer, Zi Yan couldn't help but cheer happily, "Great——"
