"During this time, I will protect the safety of your snake people."
Upon hearing this, Yue Mei immediately exchanged a glance with Mo Bas and Hua She'er, who were not far away. The two nodded, and Yue Mei sighed and nodded as well, saying:
"Then the three of us will protect Her Majesty the Queen closely."
"Uh, no need," Xiao Yan said somewhat awkwardly.
"You should manage the Snake-People tribe properly, if you don't want it to fall apart!" Lin Qing said calmly.
After discussion among the three, they ultimately led the snake-people back.
"Alright, everything's settled. Xiao Yan, where are you headed?" Lin Qing patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and asked.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Master, I'll go to Stone Desert City first, where my two older brothers are still. Then I'll go to the capital to attend the 7th Alchemist Conference."
"Okay, then I'll come along and take a look. Don't embarrass me and Yao Chen at the Alchemist Conference, or else..." Lin Qing said with a snort.
"Don't worry, Master, and Teacher, I'm a genius among geniuses. Getting first place is a piece of cake," Xiao Yan chuckled.
"You little rascal, be careful not to blow your own horn too far," the old apothecary teased.
Gu He, seemingly having made up his mind, gritted his teeth and walked towards Lin Qing and the other two.
Gu He bowed and said, "I am Gu He, the Pill King, and I greet you, Senior."
Lin Qing's smile faded, and she said calmly, "Yes, is there something you need?"
"Senior, did you take that Samadhi Divine Fire? I really need it." After hesitating for a while, Gu He still couldn't bring himself to say it.
"You mean the Samadhi Divine Fire? Oh, that's my natal flame." Lin Qing didn't hide anything and said it directly.
"Alas! Another failure. I wonder when I will be able to see the strange fire again." Gu He shook his head, his face full of dejection.
"Strange Fire? Haha, want to see strange fire? It's easy, I'll show you as much as you want." Lin Qing suddenly felt playful when he saw the lonely Gu He.
With a wave of his hand, four flames of different colors suddenly appeared and floated in front of Guhe.

The bone spirit's cold fire is as white and chilling as the bone spirit's cold fire, while the blue lotus's earth core fire is as alluring as the blue lotus's blue core fire.
The transparent and colorless Fallen Heart Flame that makes your heart race, and the deep blue Sea Heart Flame that makes you intoxicated.
Four strange flames suddenly appeared in front of Gu He. The four flames swayed in the wind, as if saying, "Come on, come and subdue me!"
"These are four different kinds of strange fire?" Gu He's hands trembled, and he took a few steps back in panic.
"How is this possible? Four different flames appeared at the same time, and none of them have been subdued yet; they are merely trapped."
Yun Yun, who had maintained a calm demeanor, could no longer maintain it at this moment, her face filled with shock.
Gu He, who took a while to come to his senses, was immediately shocked and said:
"Could this pale white flame be the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh on the list of strange flames? It is a peculiar flame that combines extreme cold and extreme heat."
"This cyan flame is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame that I came here for. I didn't expect it to be in Medusa's hands after all."
"Fire arises from the heart, tempering qi and refining bones. It is known as a 'cultivation cheat device.' Just by getting close, the fighting qi within my body has already begun to circulate. This is the Fallen Heart Flame."
"The last one, as the flames rise, slowly spreads out like clear seawater; this is the Heart of the Sea Flame."
Gu He stared at the four strange flames that had not yet been refined, his eyes filled with fanaticism. If it weren't for the presence of the powerful Lin Qing, he probably would have rushed forward long ago.
"Strange fires, there really are four strange fires." The two teachers beside him were also incredulous.
"How come Master has so many strange flames on him? Our target this time, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, is also there?" Xiao Yan stared at the scene in disbelief.
The old doctor coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, it seems that the strange fire is very important to your master."
Xiao Yan scratched his head and said, "Then, teacher, the Burning Technique you taught requires devouring a different kind of fire to advance. What should we do then?"
The old apothecary pondered for a moment and said, "After this matter is over, ask your master!"
"Hehe, look all you want, for as long as you like. I don't have much else, but I have plenty of time." Lin Qing chuckled as he looked at Gu He.
Gu He bowed deeply and said, "Senior, please allow me to proceed." He hesitated for a moment, seemingly having made up his mind, and then said:
"I humbly request that you bestow upon me a unique flame. If I obtain this flame, I will be able to advance to the seventh-grade alchemist level, and..."
With this extraordinary flame, my alchemy skills will certainly not be limited to the seventh rank. I am willing to follow you, senior, serving you faithfully and without hesitation.
Gu He's words immediately shocked everyone present, except for Lin Qing and Yao Lao.
Gu He, that's the Gu He known as the Pill King, an elder of the Yunlan Sect, and the number one alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire. Now he's actually going to such lengths for a strange flame.
Yun Yun was also extremely shocked. She knew Gu He quite well, since Gu He was her suitor.
She knew how proud Gu He was; this single strange flame was not enough to make him submit.
The old alchemist was also shocked. He was only an eighth-grade alchemist. If what Gu He said was true, then if he were to become an eighth-grade alchemist one day...
That would be a complete defeat for him, and yet such a person would submit to someone else for the sake of a strange flame.
"However, it seems that following a Dou Di isn't such a big deal," Yao Lao thought to himself as he looked at Lin Qing.
The strict teacher tried to stop them, but Gu He waved his hand to interrupt, leaving Gu He with no choice but to watch helplessly.
"Although the strange flames are of no use to me, I refuse." Lin Qing waved his hand and put away the four strange flames.
He had been gritting his teeth and bearing a heavy burden of humiliation, but now, seeing this outcome, he opened his mouth involuntarily, his face blank with disbelief.
After a while, he came to his senses and said dejectedly, "I misspoke, please don't take offense, senior."
Just as Lin Qing was about to say something, he suddenly frowned, waved his hand and said, "The other leaders of the Snake-People have arrived. You should leave now."
After saying that, he ignored everyone and disappeared with Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
As he left, Lin Qing sent an invisible stream of spiritual energy into the temple.
This spiritual power can possess a snake-person during a crisis, thus turning the tide.
Yun Yun watched the three disappearing figures, then thought of Yao Yan, who was actually Xiao Yan. She smiled, shook her head, and said:
"Let's hurry up and leave. I can sense it too. Several new Dou Wang auras are heading this way."
Yan Shi and Feng Li quickly grabbed Gu He on either side and flew into the sky. Seeing this, Yun Yun didn't delay any longer and followed behind.
A moment later, a male snake-man shrouded in red battle aura appeared first, saying, "Damn humans, they actually ran away."
In the vast desert, under the scorching sun, a small lizard roams the sand, searching for a shady spot.
Just as the lizard was about to be cooked, it suddenly felt a cool sensation all over its body, and the scorching heat instantly dissipated.
If lizards could talk, they would definitely say, "It feels so good, but it's a bit hard and hurts my stomach."
The little lizard was comfortably lying on a tile. A tile? Where would tiles come from in the desert? No, where would tiles come from in the Dou Qi Continent?
In the desert, a modern, luxurious villa, unlike anything seen on Earth, suddenly appeared.
Inside the villa, Xiao Yan, wearing only shorts, jumped directly from the terrace several meters high into the swimming pool.
"Splash." Xiao Yan fell into the water, splashing up a lot of water.
By the pool, Yao Lao sat on a deck chair, leisurely sipping spiritual tea. Although he couldn't eat, he could still drink the spiritual tea specially made by Lin Qing.
Lin Qing, wearing sunglasses and shorts, stood to the side, holding a wine glass filled with Wahaha drinks, watching Xiao Yan having a great time.
"I never knew playing in the water could bring so much joy," said the old apothecary, taking a sip of tea and squinting his eyes.
"Hehe, he's still just a kid." Of course, Lin Qing didn't say that he was happy because he could see things from his hometown in another world.
The old doctor said with great enthusiasm, "Senior, your tea is truly amazing. I never expected that I could taste it even in my soul state. Moreover, I feel that my soul has become more solid and stronger."
"Of course, this is made with special spiritual tea from the cultivation world, and with my special tea-frying technique, it is very beneficial to everyone."
Although this tea is delicious, to be honest, Lin Qing still prefers soft drinks.

The old apothecary had truly taken a liking to the tea, and said, "Um, senior, would it be convenient for me to have some tea leaves? My health is such that I can't even eat..."
"No problem, giving you ten thousand jin each is no problem." Lin Qing was unusually generous.
"Ah, thank you so much, senior. But isn't this too much?" The old apothecary became uneasy.
"It's alright, I have plenty of tea leaves." Lin Qing chuckled.
He certainly had a lot of tea leaves. Back in the Upper Realm of Shu Mountain, when those sect leaders were preparing delicacies for Lin Qing.
Thinking that Lin Qing would also like to drink tea, he prepared a storage bag containing the most famous Yunxian tea from the Upper Realm.
Lin Qing didn't know at first, but he discovered the bag of tea during the few years he took a break in the Marvel universe.
Later, they wanted to try it out, and after wasting thousands of kilograms of tea leaves, they finally came up with this secret technique.
Lin Qing stared at the storage bag of tea leaves inside the storage space; it probably weighed several hundred thousand catties...
After that, Lin Qing used his secret technique within his sleeve to produce 20,000 jin of the secret-recipe Yunxian tea.
This tea can be brewed simply with ordinary boiling water. Of course, if you use special spiritual water, the effect will be even better.
"Haha, Master, your villa is so comfortable and fun!" Xiao Yan climbed out of the pool and ran over excitedly.
"Of course, I used a lot of my magical power to refine this villa. It's practically a magic treasure now."
"Hmm... even a Dou Sheng would find it troublesome to destroy it." Lin Qing was quite satisfied with this villa.
Xiao Yan said with a grin, "Master, could you also craft a villa for me? Look, you can even make this game console..."
"You've got a good idea. Get lost." Lin Qing gave Xiao Yan a sharp rap on the head.
It wasn't that Lin Qing was stingy, but rather that he didn't have the materials right now. After all, to create a villa-themed magic weapon, one would need a villa on-site.
Of course, you might say that you can use a magic weapon synthesizer to refine it, but Lin Qing asked around and found out that the requirements for refining a magic weapon for this villa are actually ten times that of a normal one.
One refining process requires one million luck points and ten million evolution points, while ten times that requires ten million luck points and one hundred million evolution points.
Unless Lin Qing has gone mad, get the hell out of here, no matter how big the universe is.
Xiao Yan said, "By the way, Master, the Burning Flame Technique that Teacher taught me requires devouring different flames to evolve, but it seems that Master is also collecting different flames..."
