Crafting a six-grade medical formula in the time it takes to have a meal is an extremely difficult task for any alchemist.
Xiao Yan carefully memorized the formula. In the upcoming period, he had two pills to refine.
One was the pill for Medusa's successful evolution, and the other was the 'Extreme Cold Pill' to help him create the Bone Chilling Heavenly Flame.
Both pills were six-grade, high-quality pills. For an average six-grade alchemist, they would be extremely taxing and could not be refined one after another. However, for Xiao Yan, who had already refined a seven-grade pill, it was not a problem.
Xiao Yan was also considering that the pill formulas themselves were indeed six-grade, but he possessed the secret pill-refining technique of 'Sublimation'.
If he were to use the secret technique to elevate the grades of these two pills to the seven-grade level, there was a great deal of potential.
Furthermore, Xiao Yan knew that his soul power had reached a bottleneck.
If he continued to cultivate diligently, it would probably take a considerable amount of time to reach the Spirit Realm level.
Stimulating his potential during pill refining to accelerate the growth of his soul power was a good plan.
The difference between soul realms is vast!
This is because the realm division is very simple, and many alchemists belong to the "unranked" level, not even reaching the threshold of a soul realm.
The gap between alchemists is similar. As the grade increases, even between alchemists of the same grade, the difference is huge.
The successful refining of the six-grade pill, the Barrier-Breaking Pill, did not even affect an entire basement.
However, the refining of the six-grade pill, the Earth Spirit Pill, created a strange natural phenomenon when it was completed, which could break through a mountain range and be noticed by powerful experts in distant cities.
And this was only a six-grade pill.
To create a spirit from a Heavenly Flame, at least Spirit Realm-level soul power is required. As Xiao Yan was studying the cultivation technique, he was also thinking about the conditions for his cultivation technique.
"Leader Yue Mei, Your Majesty the Queen."
Just as Xiao Yan was deep in thought, a charming voice came from below, which sounded somewhat familiar to him. He looked up.
"It's really them?" Looking at the two familiar figures, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel that this world was truly small.
The great hall of the Snake-People Royal City was the most sacred place for every Snake-Person.
The two snake girls had only heard about it in rumors before, and they never expected to have the opportunity to come here in person and directly meet Her Majesty the Queen.
"Look up." Medusa looked at the two snake girls. Having been in the human world, the temperament and appearance of these two had a significant difference from the people of the Snake-People tribe, with a little less of the wild charm.
Upon seeing the legendary Queen for the first time, the two snake girls were inevitably a little shaky. Their delicate bodies trembled as they slowly looked up.
The two exquisite faces came into view. Even Medusa, who had seen many outstanding snake girls, couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "They are indeed two excellent beauties. Just these two are enough."
"If I were to ask you two to be this person's maids, would you be willing?" Medusa straightened her body and asked seriously.
Although through her interactions, she generally knew that Xiao Yan was an extremely capable but somewhat playful person.
And if they could have a relationship with him, it would be a golden opportunity for the two snake girls. However, she would not force her people because of this.
Yue Mei didn't expect Her Majesty the Queen to consult with two ordinary snake girls instead of giving a command. She sighed helplessly in her heart, thinking that she had to put in some effort for this matter.
The Snake-People had no good feelings for humans, let alone these two who had escaped from the human world.
How could they just escape from the tiger's den and then turn around to serve the tiger?
Following the direction of Her Majesty the Queen's slender, jade-like finger, the two snake girls were surprised that after returning to the Snake-People tribe, they would still have to serve a human!
For a moment, the two snake girls felt a mix of emotions.
However, when they saw the familiar figure in the black robe, the two snake girls' diamond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. They stood still as if struck by lightning, their beautiful faces holding smiles that were difficult to conceal.
"Hmm?" Yue Mei couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, looking at the two snake girls in disbelief.
How was this completely different from what she had imagined?
The scene she had imagined, where the two snake girls would tear that human Xiao Yan to shreds, didn't happen at all?
"You know each other?" Medusa's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She had a feeling that something wasn't right about this matter.
The Snake-People captured by humans usually didn't have high strength. How could they run back from the human world?
Sure enough, it was related to Xiao Yan!
Slightly nodding, the slightly older snake girl with an icy blue snake tail slowly said, "Your Majesty, it was Young Master Xiao Yan who saved us and brought us back to the Tagore Desert."
On their way back, they had been grateful for Xiao Yan's life-saving grace, wondering when they would have the opportunity to repay him.
They didn't expect that they would have a chance to serve him so soon.
Being able to serve the Snake-People tribe and also their savior, they were naturally very willing.
"It's nothing," Xiao Yan said, waving his hand faintly. Saving the two snake girls was a complete coincidence for him.
He knew about the matter of the Jia Lie family buying snake-people to curry favor with Liu Xi.
He just didn't expect that the declining Jia Lie family would still be able to do it.
Yue Mei looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. There was actually a human who was willing to save two snake girls and bring them back to the Tagore Desert!
The two snake girls, if placed in the Charm Snake tribe, would definitely be a rare find in a thousand in terms of appearance and figure. They were the type that those humans loved the most.
Even if Xiao Yan wasn't interested in snake girls, as long as they were not deflowered, selling them to an auction house would be a huge fortune.
This human was indeed different from ordinary people. No wonder Her Majesty the Queen would allow him to enter the Snake-People tribe.
"It seems you two have no objections." Medusa didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She glanced at Xiao Yan, whose emotions were unreadable.
The two snake girls nodded heavily, looking shyly at Xiao Yan.
Having lived in the human world for a while, they naturally knew what a maid was supposed to do.
Medusa took in the looks on the two snake girls' faces, and she felt a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
Logically speaking, the two snake girls, unlike typical Snake-People, didn't hate humans, and they knew Xiao Yan. It seemed they couldn't wait to jump into his arms, and she believed there would be results soon. She should have been happy.
But she wasn't happy at all. On the contrary, she was starting to feel like she didn't want the snake girls to fulfill Xiao Yan's wager anymore.
Was it because she was afraid that if the two snake girls succeeded, it would make her, the Queen of the Snake-People tribe, seem less charming? Or was it...
Medusa was also not very clear about what she was thinking right now.
