Looking at the round, longan-sized pill before him, several strands of green air woven and swirled within it. Upon closer inspection, these streams converged into a tiny green snake, swirling within the pill, brimming with spiritual energy.
The condensation of Dan Qi into spirit, a phenomenon only found in seventh-grade and higher-tier elixirs!
"A Transformation Pill!" Liu Yu sighed with emotion. It was so difficult!
Just to refine this pill, he had left less than 20% of his Dou Qi. The consumption of refining the pill, combined with the consumption of Dan Lei, was all thanks to the Qinglian Earth Core Fire, his companion flame. The Dou Qi consumed by it was much less than that of ordinary strange fires!
The consumption of soul power was also significant, but compared to the Dou Qi, it was "not so bad." This also made Liu Yu realize that even a soul power of the Great Perfection in the Mortal Realm could refine a high-level seventh-grade elixir, but it still seemed a bit weak! It's time to prioritize the advancement of my soul realm. Source power...
All in all, the results are encouraging. He's succeeded on his first attempt at refining a seventh-grade elixir, a high-level seventh-grade Transformation Pill! Even in Zhongzhou, a land teeming with genius, he's a true leader!
Meanwhile, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew over from afar, gazing eagerly at the pill before Liu Yu.
"No hurry! Someone might be here soon!"
Liu Yu pulled a jade box into his hand and placed the Transformation Pill in it. He then removed a jade bottle from his storage ring and took out a Qi Cultivation Pill. He consumed it immediately, rapidly restoring his Dou Qi.
The appearance of this seventh-grade high-level elixir would cause a considerable stir; it would undoubtedly attract some uninvited guests!
"Let's go!" Liu Yu muttered, not even paying attention to the eagerly-eyed Amethyst Winged Lion King. He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and vanished into the sky.
...
The Tagor Desert.
"Xiao Zi, I'll give you the Transformation Pill once we reach our destination!"
Above, a giant purple beast, carrying a human, slowly advanced into the depths of the desert. These two were none other than Liu Yu and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Master, this deep desert is the territory of the Serpent People. Should we continue deeper?" the Amethyst Winged Lion King asked. He was no longer in a hurry; the Transformation Pill wouldn't escape him.
"That's my home!" Liu Yu chuckled. After so many months, he was back!
"Home?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was stunned. A Serpent People?
"Yes, I grew up there..."
Liu Yu's expression was bewildered. Although he had been away from home for a short time, he still felt a sense of homesickness. He couldn't help but think of the Queen, who had been asleep for so long, and who knew when she would wake up...
"Ah..."
Just as Liu Yu, riding the Amethyst Winged Lion King, approached a massive tribal fortress, a strange roar, like that of a wolf or a fox, suddenly echoed from the sky.
Liu Yu raised his head slightly. A strange, pitch-black bird circled ahead, a warning deployed by the Serpent People in the sky.
"Alert! Alert! A demonic beast is attacking from above! Notify Lady Yue Mei! Spearmen, prepare, poison, and fire!" A chilling roar echoed from the city walls as the alarm wailed through the darkness. In
an instant, hundreds of heavily armed Serpent People, wielding venom-coated spears, gathered at full speed.
Feeling the hundreds of hostile glances, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt a pang of displeasure. He had done nothing. He wanted to radiate his aura to intimidate, but he dared not, fearing his master's displeasure.
Just then, a powerful aura from within the city rapidly approached.
"Lady Yue Mei!" a tall, slender Serpent Woman addressed the approaching, enchanting Serpent Woman respectfully.
Yue Mei did not reply, but instead gazed solemnly at the ferocious, winged, purple behemoth. The Amethyst Winged Lion King! The overlord of the Demonic Beast Mountains! A sixth-level magical beast!
"Lion King, I wonder what brings you to our Charming Snake Tribe? We, the Serpent People, have nothing to do with you in the Magical Beast Mountains!"
Glancing at the snake woman beside her, Yue Mei's charming voice tinged with hostility. No matter what the Amethyst-Winged Lion King intended, if he dared to invade their Serpent People, he would be buried in the desert!
The Amethyst-Winged Lion King didn't reply. Just as the tension was building, a playful voice suddenly echoed from its back.
"Yue Mei, you need treatment for your eyes. You can't even see me?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yue Mei froze. Liu Yu?
A figure slowly flew down from the Amethyst-Winged Lion King's back, causing Yue Mei's gaze to freeze. Then, a charming smile flashed across her face. "Chief Liu, isn't it because your concealment skills are so great that I didn't sense it? Who is this Amethyst-Winged Lion King?"
"My mount, one of us," Liu Yu replied calmly.
"Mount?!" Yue Mei was quite surprised. Riding a rank-six magical beast as a mount—he was truly worthy of being the Chief of their Serpent People! But then she whispered to Liu Yu, "Can you control it? How about the elders help you train it?" (Amethyst Winged Lion King: ...)
"Haha, I'm very strong, and Xiao Zi is very obedient!" Liu Yu was somewhat amused. He could only imagine Xiao Zi's miserable fate if the elders trained her.
"Really? How strong is it? I want to give it a try!" Yue Mei asked inexplicably.
"Heh, I can easily kill you with one slap!" Liu Yu chuckled. Who was he teasing?
"Then I really want to give it a try!" Hearing Liu Yu's words, Yue Mei was a little unconvinced. I admit you're exceptionally talented, but she's also a three-star Dou Wang. As a Dou Wang, she didn't believe Liu Yu could defeat her in a split second!
"You're too weak! This is for you." Liu Yu presented a jade bottle and tossed it towards Yue Mei.
Yue Mei instinctively took it, eyeing the elixir within the jade bottle with a hint of curiosity: "What is this?"
"Sixth-grade Douling Pill, something that can elevate a mere Dou Wang by one star!"
As Liu Yu's words escaped his lips, Yue Mei's red lips parted, her face gazing at the jade bottle in her hand with astonishment. This was the kind of sixth-grade elixir that would make a Dou Wang jealous! Was Liu Yu now a sixth-grade alchemist?!
What a mismatch in information... Ignoring Yue Mei's "ignorant" expression, Liu Yu gazed into the distance. He could sense several powerful auras rapidly approaching, one of them emanating from a peak Dou Huang rank!
"Yue Mei, who on earth dares to invade our Serpent People?" a gruff voice echoed from afar.
The first person to appear before Liu Yu was a rather burly male Serpent People with a ferocious appearance. Two black python tattoos adorned his arms. As his arms twisted, the pythons seemed to come alive, radiating a chilling, cold, and violent aura.

Behind him stood three powerful snake-men Dou Wang warriors and a shadowy, elderly figure.
"Mobas, Chief Liu is listening to you!" Yue Mei teased, wondering how Mobas would react if he knew the "blind person" he was referring to was Liu Yu!
Mobas paused at the mention of "Chief Liu," his expression slightly embarrassed. "Chief Liu, I thought..."
"Mobas, long time no see!" Liu Yu paid no attention. He then greeted the three snake-men leaders and finally looked at the old woman. "Third Elder, I didn't expect you to come!"
"Chief Liu, you're joking. With the Queen away, we old folks have no choice but to get some exercise." The old woman's voice was hoarse, like stone scraping against glass, sending a wave of discomfort through the air. She then looked up at the Amethyst Winged Lion King soaring above.
Under the old woman's gaze, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt uneasy, his eyes filled with solemnity.
Seeing this, Liu Yu explained again, and then the group headed for the Serpent People's Holy City, with the Amethyst Winged Lion King following silently behind.
...
Serpent People's Holy City, Elder Hall.
Liu Yu was discussing some matters with the four elders. After receiving the Transformation Pill, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, arranged by Hua She'er, went to a secluded place to take the pill.
"Elders, what do you think about the migration?" Liu Yu asked, looking at the four old women.
The four old women nodded in agreement with Liu Yu's suggestion of a Serpent People migration. They had no reason to refuse.
The Serpent People's cold blood was not suitable for living in the Tagor Desert, but the Demonic Beast Mountains were much better. The environment was relatively good and the main resources were abundant, which was conducive to the development of their Serpent People. Moreover, Chief Liu had already arranged most of the matters. All he had to do was "say hello" to the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, and everything would be done!
"Chief Liu, how is the Queen?" The old woman in the middle, the Great Elder, looked at Liu Yu and asked.
"The Queen is doing well. Her bloodline has undergone another transformation. She's been in a deep slumber, and when she awakens, her strength will likely reach a terrifying level!" Liu Yu explained to the Great Elder, feeling a touch of envy. If the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's bloodline were to advance even further, wouldn't it become Eight-Colored? Wouldn't that put it at least at the level of a Dou Zun? This
was the benefit of possessing a powerful bloodline. The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python already had limitless potential and possessed the potential to become a Dou Sheng. With continued progress, it could likely reach the level of a Dou Sheng! However, there was a shortcut for monsters with this bloodline to increase their strength: the advancement of their bloodline! This was something Liu Yu envied.
"Has her bloodline begun to transform again?!" The Great Elder couldn't help but exclaim. Queen Medusa had only just transformed into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, and already it was starting again?
Giving Liu Yu a deep look, the Great Elder suppressed her doubts. She was certain this had something to do with Liu Yu!
"Four elders, I have a gift for you!" Liu Yu suddenly smiled mysteriously, and pulled out four jade boxes from his storage ring, handing them to the four elders.
"What is this?" The eldest elder gently opened the jade box, revealing a round pill inside.
"Zong Po Dan!" Liu Yu's lips curled slightly. If all four elders could achieve Dou Zong with the help of this Zong Po Dan, then the Serpent People would be considered a first-rate force in the entire Northwest Continent! The
four elders moved in unison, staring intently at Liu Yu. Of course they knew what Zong Po Dan was; it was a sixth-grade, high-level elixir! Their voices were hoarse and shocked: "You have become a sixth-grade alchemist!"
"Sixth-grade? I'm not! Elders, take another guess!" Liu Yu smiled a devilish smile, showing off in front of the elders. It was quite impressive!
The four elders ignored Liu Yu's antics. Suddenly, an idea as fantastic as a fairy tale came to mind. Those five words seemed to hold an invisible magic that made them unable to speak.
Finally, the "big sister" elder, the "big sister," took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly, "Seventh-rank alchemist!"
"As expected of the Great Elder, you've already guessed it!" Liu Yu chuckled. He had no reason to hide anything from the four elders. He wouldn't tell you that that clueless Xiao Zi, obsessed with the Transformation Pill, wasn't even surprised he was a seventh-rank alchemist! So, he wanted to make a "presence" in front of the four elders...
"God bless our Serpent People..."
Hearing Liu Yu's affirmative response, the four elders muttered to themselves, as if possessed.
Seeing the four elders acting so pretentiously, Liu Yu felt a strange sense of discomfort. He sighed softly, pulled out seven jade bottles from his bosom, and "forcibly" interrupted the elders' muttering: "These are seven Douling Pills. Elders, please accept them first, and I'll pass them on to the leaders later. I've already given them to Yue Mei and Hua She'er!"
The four elders didn't accept them immediately, but instead bowed deeply to Liu Yu.
"Elders, I'm also a member of the Serpent People. What are you doing? Are you trying to shorten my life? If you really want to thank me, why not do something practical, hehe!"
Liu Yu quickly helped the four elders up and changed the subject.
Upon hearing Liu Yu's words, the four elders began to seriously consider them. But upon reflection, they realized that the Serpent People didn't seem to have much to offer Liu Yu. Suddenly, they all thought of Queen Medusa! They were all well aware of Liu Yu's relationship with the Queen...
The four elders exchanged glances, and finally the Grand Elder spoke: "Chief Liu, we have decided to arrange a marriage between you and the Queen, and then announce it to the Serpent People. After the Queen wakes up, we'll discuss the wedding date. How about that?"
"Ah! This..."
Liu Yu was a little confused. Was this... a tadalafil?
Seeing Liu Yu's expression, the Grand Elder understood immediately and made a decision: "Then it's settled!"
So I have a legitimate status? Hehe, Liu Yu was quite happy. The four elders understood him so well.
...
After spending a month with the Serpent People in the Monster Mountain Range, Liu Yu left alone.
The four elders were in seclusion, striving to break through to the Dou Zong realm. The eight chiefs and Hua She'er had also increased their strength by at least one star with the help of the Dou Ling Dan. The only thing he didn't expect was that Mobas had suddenly broken through to two stars. He didn't know if it was due to his deep accumulation or some kind of inspiration...
Xiao Zi, who had successfully transformed, had the opportunity to choose his own martial arts and fighting skills from the Serpent People's treasury thanks to his status as Liu Yu's chief mount. He also received an Huangji Dan, bestowed by Liu Yu. With his profound background and the high quality of the Huangji Dan, he broke through to two stars, reaching the five-star Dou Huang realm! Then, he took Liu Yu's place in defense of the Serpent People.
Liu Yu is now preparing for the migration of the snake people. He will first go to the depths of the World of Warcraft Mountains to find several relocation sites, and then find Jia Xingtian to "discuss" the matter of the snake people. Finally, with the help of the Miter Family and the Alchemist Guild, he will prepare supplies and send them to the World of Warcraft Mountains...
By the way, I'd like to remind you that the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire has evolved, so the cyan color is mixed with blue. When the flame is small, the blue color cannot be seen unless you look closely. Therefore, when referring to a small flame later, I will directly describe it as a cyan flame. However, once the flame becomes larger, the blue color can be seen, so I will describe it as a cyan-blue flame.
