Chapter 104 Infiltration
There seemed to be light penetrating through the yellow sand.

As far as the eye can see, there is endless empty space, except for the recurring sand and the occasional cactus.

It seemed as if there was nothing else in the entire world.

Huhu~
A strong wind swept through.

The temperature difference in the desert is huge. It is very high during the day, and once night falls, the temperature can reach minus 20 degrees Celsius.

There will be many monsters appearing.

The sandstorm in the sky and the eyes hidden in the sand make this area extremely dangerous.

A figure was walking in the yellow sand.

A series of long and narrow footprints were left behind, and were swallowed up by the flying sand in an instant.

"It's getting late. I have to get out of this desert as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan raised his head and measured the energy.

After a moment's silence, he roughly calculated the current time and captured an even more violent aura among the chaotic energy.

That was a sign of an approaching storm.

"After spending so much time, you should be not far from the location of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. I hope you can gain something."

Yao Chen's voice came from the ring in his hand.

Due to the widespread spread of spiritual energy, there are only a few people still practicing Dou Qi in the Dou Qi Continent, and they have all turned to the more powerful new system.

This trip is to seek the strange fire.

Under the new legal system, the Burning Decree will only become more powerful, and the changes after absorbing the strange fire will become more terrifying.

During these days of traveling and practicing, although Xiao Yan has not yet found any strange fire, his strength has increased a lot after swallowing beast fire several times.

"Strange fire is hard to find"

Yao Chen sighed.

Back then, he was also a Dou Zun and a very high-level alchemist. He had a huge influence, many friends, and many personal connections.

But in the end, it took a lot of time.

Only at a huge cost did he manage to subdue the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

Xiao Yan is a very lucky kid, but I don't know if he can succeed in one fell swoop.

"It's okay. If it doesn't work once, try again!"

Xiao Yan didn't care. He patted his body and said with a strange look:

"I saw from the map nearby that there seems to be a snake tribe there, and it seems to be in a semi-open state recently."

“It seems like they are working on some sustainable development strategy?”

Why do these words sound so familiar to him?

"Well, it should be that these tribesmen received guidance from some master."

Yao Chen nodded seriously.

He understands spiritual practice, but he doesn't know much about things related to governing a country.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression became even weirder. After thinking for a while, he finally suppressed the weirdness in his heart.

"The storm is coming. Let's go to the snake tribe to take shelter first."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan said.

"Be careful."

Yao Chen reminded:
"I heard that this tribe has been at war with humans for generations, and there have been constant disputes. Now that the relationship has suddenly eased and they are opening up, I'm afraid there are some problems."

"It doesn't matter. I have already cultivated to the level of Qi training. Even though it hasn't been long since I completed it, it is enough for me to escape."

Xiao Yan nodded, kept Yao Chen's words in mind, and then began to identify the aura in the void. After a moment, he looked in one direction.

There, there are groups of good fortune gathered together.

The scale is not as huge as that of humans, but the mass of each individual is much higher, and there is a hidden breath of barbarism. It should be the snakeman tribe.

"found it."

Xiao Yan stepped out and hurried on his way while the wind was not strong around him.

Night gradually fell.

The previous storm has gradually dissipated, and after the yellow sand retreated, the dazzling starry sky was revealed.

Xiao Yan walked over.

After a brief look, I saw a tribe with bright lights and the guards who came over to investigate.

"Hey, are you a traveler?"

A snake guard said.

He looked at Xiao Yan with a sense of vigilance in his heart. After all, this desert was full of dangers, and anyone who could travel alone must be a strong man.

"I guess so. I'd like to stay in your tribe for one night."

Xiao Yan smiled and took out some currency commonly used in human cities.

Opening up the tribe means that the tribe's own monetary system will be connected with the human monetary system, and I can say that I have helped them earn some foreign exchange, right?

After all, I am just a passer-by, so it is reasonable for me to pay some money.

"please."

The guard's expression softened a little.

Their tribe is gradually opening up to humans and starting to trade with each other. Accommodation is actually free, especially for masters like those in front of him.

But human relationships and social conventions are universal everywhere.

This applies even in a gathering place of inhuman beings like the Snake People Tribe.

Afterwards, the guard took Xiao Yan to their accommodation.

Arriving at a spacious tent that was more than five meters high, Xiao Yan said goodbye to the guards and slowly sat down.

"Ok?"

In the ring, Yao Chen sensed some changes in the Qi and said hesitantly: "I seem to have discovered the fluctuations of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, but this position..."

Xiao Yan lifted the door curtain and looked around.

Under the cover of night, through the starlight, you can see that in addition to the tribe in front of you, there are seven other large tribes located nearby, vaguely surrounding it.

In the center, there seems to be a city that is not very big.

"Is it right there?"

Xiao Yan hesitated.

If he guessed correctly, that should be the palace of the snake people. If he rushed in rashly, even if he had the ability to cultivate Qi, he would probably be in trouble, right?

He had heard that there were also experts among the snake people.

Before the new law system covered the Douqi Continent, there were Douhuang and even higher levels of combat power. Now that the new law has arrived, the strength will only be higher.

"Not really. The aura of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is deep underground, but the palace is indeed a more convenient entrance." "Otherwise, you have no other way to enter the underground cave."

Yao Chen anchored the distance and marked the location of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

He taught himself new methods, and although he is still a soul body, he has many more methods than before. He can detect Qi to a certain extent and do some things.

"Then I'll give it a try. There's always a way to fish in troubled waters."

Xiao Yan's heart moved, and his internal energy covered up his own breath.

In the cover of night, he passed through two or three tribes, and with the help of Yao Chen, he avoided all the guards and entered the palace.

Yan followed the mechanism which was not difficult to find and opened the tunnel.

Then enter it.

Going deep into the tunnel, the surroundings are not cold and damp, but there are streams of heat coming continuously. Bricks and stones are piled up to form a passage.

"It seems that the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is nearby."

Yao Chen was also tense at this time, and his mental power was constantly and carefully contacting various qi, exploring the way forward.

Soon after, there was a bright light in front of my eyes.

What appeared before our eyes was a huge underground palace.

Center.

A flame like a lotus is emitting huge heat.

"There's someone there!"

Xiao Yan's eyes fell, his expression was startled, and then he looked at one of them in astonishment:
"That is."

"So, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhou Yan walked in the underground palace, looking at the flames burning in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he turned to Medusa behind him.

“I only have a vague understanding, but I seem to have some understanding.”

Medusa nodded with a complicated expression.

When she first met this person, who was still a human being, she naturally only had murderous intentions. However, after this person said a lot of things, Medusa's attitude changed.

The snake people have been enemies of humans for generations.

No matter how arrogant Medusa is, the real truth is that only a small part of the human side is fighting back, and they are just doing it along the way.

In fact, it is not taken seriously.

Medusa naturally knew that it was impossible to lead the snake people to defeat humans, and they couldn't even survive in the desert which was not liked by humans.

There are also many difficulties.

But after this man named Zhou Yan talked about many theories, such as business theory, monetary theory, resource allocation and other issues, I suddenly understood something.

Just because we can't be enemies doesn't necessarily mean we can't cooperate.

If there are enough benefits, the snake people can also obtain the huge resources in the hands of humans and continue to grow.

It doesn't necessarily mean we have to be in a state of war all the time.

In terms of losses and wars, even those ancient races cannot outconsume humans.

“It is better to have only a partial knowledge than to be a man who does not learn and does not ask.”

Zhou Yan shook his head slightly.

With the continuous renewal of spiritual energy and the decreasing number of people practicing Dou Qi, the speed at which the origin of Dou Qi is replaced is getting faster and faster.

Today, it’s over fifty percent.

With this impetus, Zhou Yan's practice became more and more profound, and the changes within himself had begun to move towards the existence of an immortal god.

Zhou Yan already had a premonition that he was about to leave this world.

So he planned to leave some things in the Doupo world to verify some conjectures. The experiments on the Qinglian Earth Core Fire and the Snakeman Tribe were some backup plans.

"I originally thought that spiritual practice was the most difficult of all, but I never thought that human hearts and politics were also so difficult to control."

Medusa was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

Medusa had already put all her efforts into understanding and calculating what Zhou Yan had just briefly said, so she naturally knew the horror.

These things can affect a country.

Used as a killing knife, it is more terrifying than any fighting technique.

“The so-called philosophy of governing the world lies not in understanding, but in doing.”

Zhou Yan flicked his fingers and suppressed the ripples in the void: "The so-called governance of the country and the tribe leads people to victory.

It’s always about action.”

“There is no limit to theories. There will always be all kinds of thinkers, but those who can truly govern the world are actually those who act.”

"If you only have theories, you will look up at reality and sigh, and you can only write poems to vent your emotions. But if you act, you will do everything you can, and even if you fail, you will only feel a little regretful."

"You are able to concentrate on learning among the eight tribes. You are already a man of action."

Zhou Yan nodded with slight approval.

"You, aren't you a human? Why are you teaching me these?"

Medusa suddenly asked.

In fact, it is not just these theories. More importantly, spiritual energy has replaced fighting spirit, and these alien races can use it at will.

This is a bit surprising.

Just like her, in order to take a further step and evolve her bloodline, she needed the assistance of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire to stimulate and replenish energy.

But now I’m practicing new methods and absorbing spiritual energy.

It is gradually completing the harmony of essence, energy and spirit, and no longer needs the assistance of any strange fire, but instead guides the blood through the mind.

Now, it is about to break through again.

This is true for her and for the snake people tribe outside.

From this we can see that the effects of spiritual energy and the new method on non-humans are also terrifying.
Millions of magical beasts, alien beasts, and non-human races can all enjoy the magical effects of spiritual energy and the new method. Why would Zhou Yan, the founder of the new method, allow them to use spiritual energy?
This is also what Medusa has always wanted but has never achieved.

Now that I have met him, I naturally have to ask him about it.

"Even monsters have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment."

"Whether it's a beast or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Yan's expression was indifferent. While answering Medusa's question, he tilted his head slightly, looked to one side, and said:

"Still hiding?"

clap clap clap!
A series of rubble fell to the ground.

Xiao Yan jumped down the passage, looked at Zhou Yan with embarrassment, then glanced at Medusa, and then couldn't help but glance at the strange fire out of curiosity.

His face was bright.
