"I want to borrow your Heavenly Fla!" dusa gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.
Wei Yang stood with his hands behind his back, silent in contemplation.
Xiao Yan looked at dusa in surprise, though he wasn’t too shocked inwardly.
Wei Yang had ntioned before that dusa was seeking a Heavenly Fla.
And Xiao Yan had previously found a seven-colored scale at the bottom of the magma.
That was a rare scale that only appeared on dusa’s body when she was fighting with full power—extrely unique.
Therefore, the fact that dusa was seeking a Heavenly Fla, or rather, needed a Heavenly Fla, was sothing Xiao Yan had already ntally prepared for.
It seed to be related to her advancent.
"Your Majesty, what do you want the Heavenly Fla for?" Yue i, who was lying there pretending to be unconscious, blinked in confusion.
A mont later, as if realizing sothing, her expression changed drastically. She no longer cared to keep up the act.
Well, not that the act was needed—everyone present knew she was already awake. They simply didn’t bother to pay attention to such a minor character.
Yue i suddenly sat up, gasping in horror, "Your Majesty!"
"Shut up!" dusa shot her a fierce glare, her eyes cold and sharp.
Yue i imdiately went silent.
But inside, she was extrely anxious.
She knew very well that that thod carried a terrifyingly high failure rate. Calling it a one-in-a-million survival chance wouldn’t be an exaggeration. If Her Majesty were to suffer an accident, then the entire Snake-People Clan...
She quickly turned her gaze to Wei Yang.
At this mont, she was sincerely hoping that this noble alchemist would refuse. She wanted him to show the full pride befitting a Tier 6 alchemist and just turn away coldly.
As for that Dou Spirit Pill... forget it!
However, she was disappointed.
Wei Yang showed no signs of anger at all. Instead, with an amused expression, he looked at dusa and chuckled, "What do you want to borrow my Heavenly Fla for?"
"Although a Heavenly Fla is indeed powerful, for your snake-people, it doesn’t seem to be particularly attractive or useful, does it? After all, compared to your yin-cold bloodline, the scorching, violent, and destructive nature of a Heavenly Fla is basically the exact opposite—it’s like fire and water, completely incompatible."
Upon hearing this, dusa’s eyes actually lit up a little. She looked at him in surprise—he wasn’t angry?
Weren’t alchemists supposed to have bad tempers?
Could this Tier 6 alchemist be a fake?
She gently shook her head, tossing away the ssy thoughts that had popped into her mind. Taking a deep breath, she spoke cautiously, "Forgive , but I can’t tell you that right now. Only if you agree, and only when the ti cos that I actually need to use your Heavenly Fla, will I explain."
Hearing this, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan exchanged a subtle glance, a faint smile flickering deep in their eyes.
This dusa was quite cautious.
"So, what’s your price?" Wei Yang asked.
"Price?" dusa was montarily stunned, then her long, narrow eyes widened slightly in disbelief as she looked at Wei Yang.
She hadn’t expected him to actually agree... so easily?
So straightforward that she couldn’t even react.
That was a Heavenly Fla!
To an alchemist, it was a supre treasure—almost a second life!
And he was just going to lend it out like that?
"What, did you think borrowing my Heavenly Fla would co without a price?" Wei Yang asked calmly.
"No, no." dusa quickly waved her hand and said, "The price... how about I give you three more portions of Ice Spirit Cold Fountain?"
After speaking, she looked at Wei Yang nervously, slightly uneasy.
"Heh, you sure think beautifully... discuss that with him." Wei Yang pointed at Xiao Yan, then clasped his hands behind his back and turned his gaze toward the bright moon in the sky, saying no more.
"..." dusa.
Damn it... If you’re not satisfied, just na your price!
She was on the verge of losing it.
"Heh, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yan imdiately perked up, straightening his posture with a cheerful smile. "I’m quite interested in your Snake-People Clan’s herb treasury. I’d like to take a look inside... of course, if you could toss in a couple extra portions of Ice Spirit Cold Fountain, that wouldn’t be a problem either..."
Heavenly Fla?
I have one!
How about the Green Lotus Core Fla?
This fla possesses a wood attribute, so it’s a bit gentler than most.
In fact, I’ve been worried that its power might be too strong, making it difficult to refine.
But now that I’ve t you, it’s perfect. I can use this opportunity to weaken the Green Lotus Core Fla a bit, increasing the chances of refining it in the future. At the sa ti, I can exchange it for so benefits.
Why not kill two birds with one stone?
Xiao Yan smiled cheerfully, eyes burning as he stared at dusa.
"You..." dusa was stunned for a mont—he was actually making a deal.
"...The herb treasury is the treasure vault of our Snake-People Clan. It holds countless precious dicinal herbs collected over the years. Outsiders cannot be allowed to enter at will... You may list what herbs you need, and I’ll do my best to fulfill your requests," dusa said quickly.
What a joke—letting an alchemist into the clan’s herb treasury? Might as well throw a rat into a rice jar!
"Your Majesty... I can promise you that I’ll only take ten herbs at most. Of course, I’ll also need two portions of Ice Spirit Cold Fountain..."
"That won’t do. I can give you three—no, five sets of materials for Dou Spirit Pills..."
"I must enter the treasure vault myself. I want to choose the herbs personally. You’re not allowed to hide any valuable herbs beforehand... Oh, and add two more Sand Daturas..."
And so, Xiao Yan and dusa launched into a fierce verbal battle, haggling back and forth.
Off to the side, Yue i quietly tiptoed to stand behind dusa, not daring to make a sound, her face full of worry.
Sigh, Her Majesty has been stuck at the peak of Dou Huang for many years now. Perhaps she’s grown impatient.
Even though she always appears indifferent on the surface, I know she desires greater strength. Once she reaches the Dou Zong level, the power of our Snake-People Clan will soar.
Maybe then we won’t have to remain trapped in this endless desert. Though we’ve adapted over the years, our clan was never ant to live in such a place. After all, our bloodline is inherently cold.
It’s fine at night, but the scorching dayti in the desert is simply unbearable for us snakes! Yue i sighed inwardly.
But the thod she’s chosen to advance... it’s just too dangerous!
—
The full moon hung high in the sky, slowly beginning to tilt toward the other end of the night.
Night deepened.
And the temperature continued to drop.
Woo—
A cold wind howled, sweeping sand and grit into the air, lashing against them wave after wave.
It seed the two had nearly reached an agreent.
Wei Yang’s lips barely moved as he transmitted a ssage to Xiao Yan:
"Add another condition. Have her promise that regardless of the outco after borrowing the Heavenly Fla, the Snake-People Clan must not obstruct our departure in any way. That crazy woman... she plans to swallow the fla into her body and use its power to awaken and evolve her bloodline..."
Swallowing a Heavenly Fla into one’s body and letting it burn from within—is that a joke?! The danger is basically a death sentence! If anything goes wrong, the entire Snake-People Clan will go mad. And we’ll be the ones who lent her the fla...
Xiao Yan’s face changed slightly.
Looking at dusa, who stood before him, full of presence and bargaining spirit, his scalp tingled.
This crazy woman... ruthless!
Vicious toward her enemies, and even more ruthless to herself.
Swallow a Heavenly Fla to burn herself and purify her bloodline?
Damn, she actually dares think of that!
Inside the storage ring, Yao Lao was also stunned. He muttered:
"So that’s what she wants the Heavenly Fla for... This girl has guts! Have young people these days beco this insane? ...Xiao Yan, you must make her promise that we can leave safely, otherwise you must not lend her the fla. If anything happens to her, the entire Snake-People Clan would want to rip us apart!"
"Understood!" Just imagining the entire Snake-People Clan chasing after him in madness sent chills down Xiao Yan’s spine.
Xiao Yan quickly said, "Your Majesty, I still don’t know exactly what you intend to do with the Heavenly Fla. However, it is an extrely dangerous item, so I must set one condition. You must agree to it, or I will never lend it to you."
"Speak," dusa frowned slightly, then nodded.
"You must guarantee that no matter what happens after borrowing the Heavenly Fla, it has nothing to do with us. And we must be allowed to leave with the Heavenly Fla without any interference. Otherwise, the deal is off!" Xiao Yan said seriously.
"...Fine!" dusa looked at Xiao Yan deeply, then at Wei Yang who stood silently, gazing at the moon.
After a mont of thought, she nodded and smiled faintly, "Our Snake-People Clan has no intention of becoming enemies with a Tier 6 alchemist. So I can promise you—no matter what happens after the fla is borrowed, it has nothing to do with you. When the ti cos, you may leave with the Heavenly Fla freely. No one will stop you."
