Capítulo 91: Chapter 91: Gathering the Medicinal Ingredients!
"Roar—"
Two thunderous lion roars echoed out, accompanied by an imposing pressure that had surpassed the boundaries of a Dou Huang.
Yun Yi glanced at the two grand and majestic Amethyst Winged Lion Kings behind him, nodding in satisfaction.
Both had now been refined into flame slaves by him, and he had used the Holy Flame to thoroughly ignite their bloodlines, pushing them past the seventh tier.
"It's time to plan a great battle. After all, any trip should yield some achievements."
Retracting his satisfied gaze, Yun Yi looked into the distance, his tone somber.
In the end, the two majestic lions pulled a black chariot through the sky, disappearing into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
The Magical Beast Mountain Range was vast in size. After nearly ten minutes of traversing, Jiang Yun and Zi Yan still had not seen the forest's end.
Although it didn't prominently feature in the original work and seemed devoid of powerful magical beasts, the most prominent being merely the sixth-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King, as Jiang Yun and Zi Yan ventured deeper, Jiang Yun sensed many ferocious auras, including several fifth- and sixth-tier entities.
On several occasions, large and ferocious-looking magical beasts that were rarely seen in the outside world crossed their path.
However, with the presence of Zi Yan, a sixth-tier Ancient Void Dragon, and her in-and-out dragon's might, these beasts didn't dare to approach, making Jiang Yun and Zi Yan's journey quite smooth.
En route, Jiang Yun had already gathered many of the medicinal ingredients he needed. Only the Blood Essence Demon Fruit was missing. Fortunately, earlier, after 'amicably' borrowing a sixth-tier medicinal herb from a sixth-tier Earth Rock Wolf, he had learned of the Blood Essence Demon Fruit's existence.
Jiang Yun and Zi Yan were now rushing towards their destination!
"Shh!"
As the two figures moved through the forest, Jiang Yun abruptly stopped, turning his head northward, his spiritual power probing the surroundings.
"How is it?" Zi Yan couldn't help but ask upon seeing Jiang Yun's actions.
"It is indeed the aura of a seventh-tier magical beast," Jiang Yun said softly.
"Humph—I knew that guy wasn't being honest!" Zi Yan furrowed her brows as she looked towards where she sensed the aura. "The Blood Essence Demon Fruit is indeed here. What do we do?"
"Naturally, we try courtesy first before turning to force. After all, I'm a peaceful alchemist!" Jiang Yun chuckled, waving his hand, changing into an alchemist's robe, and flying inward with the demeanor of a grandmaster.
"Crafty guy!" Zi Yan grumbled while looking at the pretending Jiang Yun but quickly followed, her figure swiftly darting forward.
"Shh!"
Deep within the forest, the sound of rushing wind continued unabated. After nearly ten minutes, Jiang Yun and Zi Yan gently landed on a large tree, their eyes fixated on their front.
In their line of sight, a lush and vibrant patch of greenery stretched out. In the distance, there was a large lake that appeared crimson as if a blood pool.
Amidst this lively environment, it was hard to imagine such a blood-red lake existing. The lake spanned about a thousand meters, its surface sparkling, and with a light breeze, it created ripples like a bottomless abyss.
Despite the eerie scenery, Jiang Yun could clearly feel the denser energy of this place compared to elsewhere.
"Little Yun, look!" Zi Yan tugged on Jiang Yun's sleeve, pointing ahead with an uncontrollable joy on her face.
In the middle of the lake, there was a small floating island-like piece of land. On this island stood an ancient blood-red tree, which bore three blood-red oval fruits.
These were the Blood Essence Demon Fruits, the final target of Jiang Yun's mission!
"It's indeed it." Jiang Yun nodded with a gentle tone, "But the owner of this place seems rather unfriendly!"
At this moment, Jiang Yun's gaze fell playfully onto the eerie lake.
"If it doesn't want to come out, then it should never come out!"
Zi Yan also directed her gaze at the lake, sneering coldly. Her fair hand clenched into a fist, striking across the air. A terrifying force struck the lake, creating a massive void.
"Boom!"
As the punch struck, the serene lake immediately surged into massive waves. In the next moment, a huge shadow swiftly emerged from within, breaking the water surface with a splash. Massive eyes, gleaming with menacing light, scanned the surroundings.
The intense murderous aura spread out.
"A three-headed demon serpent with a trace of dragon blood. Quite rare!" Jiang Yun calmly remarked upon seeing the gigantic magical beast emerging from the water.
"Ha, nowadays, all magical beasts seem to be related to my dragon clan?" Zi Yan sneered.
"Don't forget, the Ancient Dragon Clan isn't the only dragon clan!" Jiang Yun chuckled, ruffling Zi Yan's head.
Observing the three-headed demon serpent, it had a massive body of about a hundred meters covered in armor-like crimson scales. Each of its three menacing serpent heads bore a sharp horn, gleaming with a chilling luster as if they could rip the very space apart.
"Shh."
The three-headed demon serpent's crimson, vicious pupils locked onto Jiang Yun and Zi Yan at the lake shore. Its massive mouth opened, emitting an icy growl.
"My king's belongings, and you two ants dare to covet them? Ignorant beings!"
"I am an alchemist; I wish to exchange a seventh-tier transformation pill for the Blood Essence Demon Fruit. I hope the serpent king can accommodate us!" Jiang Yun gracefully flew towards the three-headed serpent, exuding a strong aura that made the serpent's eyes slightly narrow.
"Transformation pill!" The snake's eyes burned with desire at the mention of the pill. "You have a transformation pill?"
"Naturally!"
The three-headed demon serpent hesitated, glancing at the Blood Essence Demon Fruit. It intended to enhance its bloodline for a future breakthrough to the eighth tier. However, the transformation pill was tempting. What should it do?
Suddenly, a better idea struck it. Looking at the small Jiang Yun and Zi Yan, it coldly laughed, speaking in a raspy voice.
"Master, I can't give up either. What do you suggest?"
"Then there's nothing to discuss!" Jiang Yun sighed, "I simply wish to be a 'peace-loving' alchemist. Why force me to fight and kill?"
"Ha—human, the moment you stepped into my territory, your fate was sealed! Hand over the transformation pill!"
Roar!
With that final word, the three-headed demon serpent roared, unleashing a fierce wind that uprooted the surrounding trees in an impressive display.
Boom!
Simultaneously, the calm lake erupted with massive water columns. Amid these columns, sharp black water spears shot towards Jiang Yun in the air.
"Watch out, Little Yun!"
Given that the three-headed demon serpent's strength seemed to be around five-star Dou Zong, harnessing its powerful body and bloodline power, it could contend with a seven-star Dou Zong. Despite knowing Jiang Yun's strength, Zi Yan still worried.
At the moment the serpent attacked, Jiang Yun reacted swiftly, space power surging, and he appeared beside Zi Yan.
"I told you to let me handle it!" Despite Jiang Yun being unharmed, Zi Yan still grumbled.
"All right, all right. Be careful. This guy has seventh-tier strength, don't take risks!"
"If it were any other magical beast, I might have trouble, but this one..."
"Ha—"
With a cold chuckle, Zi Yan floated towards the serpent.
"Hmm, another one seeking death!" Although surprised by Jiang Yun's speed, the serpent attributed it to the alchemist's soul power, not recognizing Jiang Yun's true strength. Seeing Zi Yan's mid-sixth-tier strength approach, it mocked.
"You're doomed, filthy snake!"
Zi Yan sneered, an intense purple light surged from her body. Above her head, it formed a small purple dragon that roared towards the heavens upon appearing.
Although small in size, the purple dragon was an authentic Taixu Ancient Dragon, the supreme entity among magical beasts, enhanced by its draconic bloodline. The dragon's might was clearly felt, inducing immense fear in the three-headed serpent.
"Dragon Clan—how could such a pure dragon blood appear here—"
Under the row of purple dragon low roars, fear replaced the serpent's malice.
"Let me answer that!"
With a move, Zi Yan charged, purple light enveloping her, her hands transformed into large dragon claws that struck the serpent's massive body.
"Ah—"
A painful howl ensued as a huge chunk of flesh was ripped from the serpent's body, blood gushing.
"Die!"
The intense pain subdued the serpent's fear, its eyes grew fierce, and it forced its dou qi to move its three heads, spewing black, foul-smelling beams.
Boom—
As the two sides battled, Jiang Yun cautiously observed, ready to assist Zi Yan if necessary.
Though the serpent was formidable, its strength was suppressed by Zi Yan's bloodline might, making it difficult for it to fully exhibit its potential. Still, Jiang Yun noted that as time passed, the victory was leaning towards the serpent.
A significant realm difference couldn't be negated just by bloodline; as levels increased, the difference between magical beast bloodlines diminished, reducing their impact.
Shh.
Zi Yan retreated to dodge a black beam, looking at the heavily injured serpent, she formed hand signs.
"Ancient Void Dragon Seal!"
Zi Yan shouted as dazzling purple-gold light filled the sky, forming a giant Taixu Ancient Dragon's shadow above her. In the next moment, the dragon became a giant purple-gold seal that struck forward.
This was Jiang Yun's Four Spirits Seal, specifically the Green Dragon Seal, but altered to suit the Taixu Ancient Dragon's power!
By harnessing void power, this attack became even harder to guard against!
"Wait, master, I agree to the exchange!" The serpent's face changed upon sensing the dire threat and death approaching, pleading.
Feeling outmatched, it planned to run after dealing with these two nuisances!
Before it could finish speaking, a large dragon seal appeared behind its weak spot.
Poof—
A blood mist erupted, followed by two screams as one of the serpent's heads exploded into blood mist, leaving the remaining two howling in pain.
"If you won't let me have peace, then die!"
Its detachment only incited the serpent's ferocity. It let out an enraged roar, ten water snakes forming around it, sweeping out with great force, pushing Zi Yan back.
Boom—
A loud sound accompanied a giant black tail emerging from the water, targeting Zi Yan.
Seeing this, Jiang Yun didn't hesitate. Flashing to Zi Yan's side, he smiled amid the oncoming attack, raising his hand to release seals, quickly forming a protective formation. A profound black light shield enveloped them, clashing with the tail.
"Boom—"
The collision produced a heavy sound, with the tail repelled and the black light shield slightly weakened but intact.
"What!" The serpent exclaimed and fled hastily.
"Where are you going!"
Seeing the retreat, Zi Yan panicked, chasing with her spear, and Jiang Yun soon followed.
Shortly after, they returned, with Zi Yan's cheerful face hinting at the outcome.
"We finally gathered all the ingredients. I can't imagine how long it'll take to prepare for ninth-tier pills!"
Gathering the Blood Essence Demon Fruit, Jiang Yun remarked.
"It will be up to you by then!" Jiang Yun stored the ingredients in his ring, alongside the newly acquired seventh-tier magic core, speaking meaningfully.
