Chapter 815 Qian Duoduos Stubbornness
Ye Xuanyue listened very carefully. She spoke in a low voice.
"Whether I can do it or not is my own business."
The person in front of her wasn’t bad. When Mu Yeqing recommended this man to her, there must have been some reason for it.
Ye Xuanyue’s voice was very firm.
"You just need to tell me how to enter the Dragon Clan’s territory."
The man fixed his gaze on Ye Xuanyue and hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.
"You need to find a special medicinal herb."
"The Dragon Clan is too sensitive to auras."
"Once you go deep inside, you will be discovered immediately."
"To hide the presence of humans from the Dragon Clan, you must rely on a special medicinal herb. Successfully refine a potion and apply it all over your body. That way, for the Dragon Clan, as long as we don’t bump into them up close and reveal our Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, it can hide our human aura and allow us to venture deep into the Dragon Clan’s heartland."
Ye Xuanyue bit her lip. Then she spoke.
"Can that kind of potion be obtained through trade here?"
The middle-aged man opposite her smiled bitterly.
"How is that possible?"
"Several extremely rare and very important medicinal herbs for us humans grow within the Dragon Clan’s territory! That’s why humans want to enter the Dragon Clan’s lands the most."
"The main medicinal herb for an elixir that can increase the cultivation strength of a Martial Emperor-level cultivator grows within the Dragon Clan’s territory. And there are quite a lot of them."
"So I’m not the only explorer who risks breaking into the Dragon Clan."
"But it’s very dangerous. Once discovered by the Dragon Clan, there is a risk of perishing."
"That kind of potion is in very high demand. It’s simply impossible for you to trade for it."
Ye Xuanyue spoke softly.
"Then is there a recipe for it?"
If she couldn’t trade for it, perhaps she could consider gathering the materials and refining it herself.
The middle-aged man opposite her had a strange expression. He looked at the girl in front of him and then said quietly,
"Perhaps... do you know an Alchemist?"
Ye Xuanyue didn’t speak. Did she need to know an Alchemist? She herself was an Alchemy Grandmaster certified by the Pharmacist Association. Besides, she had a flame and an Alchemy Furnace at hand and could be completely self-sufficient.
Seeing Ye Xuanyue’s silence, the man opposite took it as her silent agreement. He gritted his teeth and spoke.
"If you know an Alchemy Grandmaster, and if you can get him to refine a batch of pills for me, I might be able to help you gather the materials!"
He had made a tough decision. An Alchemy Grandmaster here was extremely rare. If one appeared occasionally, they were practically put on a pedestal.
You must know, what they lacked most here were pills. Although the Beast Alliance had medicinal herbs everywhere, they were in the awkward situation of having no Alchemist come over. The reason was simple: most Alchemists, because they specialized in the Alchemy Art, had average cultivation strength. Staying here was simply too dangerous.
Anyway, the herbs they obtained here were also sold through various channels to the Imperial Dynasty and other regions.
Alchemists never lacked medicinal herbs.
But for explorers staying here, obtaining pills was almost prohibitively expensive.
Some pills were painstakingly shipped from the Imperial Dynasty, their prices increasing tenfold—or even a hundredfold—beyond their original value.
Ye Xuanyue had not fully realized yet.
Her greatest value was not her cultivation strength.
It was her current identity as an Alchemy Grandmaster. Moreover, she came from the most orthodox Pharmacist Association and was highly proficient with most basic pill recipes.
She was capable of meeting most of the explorers’ needs here.
Ye Xuanyue blinked and spoke directly.
“Oh? What pill do you want to refine?”
The middle-aged man opposite her looked at her warily before speaking.
“The pill I want to refine is not easy. Probably only an Alchemy Grandmaster can handle it.
If it were an ordinary Alchemist whose level was not high enough, they would only ruin the medicinal herbs I worked so hard to accumulate…”
Ye Xuanyue’s gaze remained clear and cool. She paused, then spoke.
“So, can you show it to me now?”
She raised her head, her voice very clear.
“I am an Alchemy Grandmaster.”
Deep within an enormous mountain range far from Ye Xuanyue, mist curled around. In the cold water of an Abyssal Pool, a little girl’s wrists and ankles were bound by silvery-gray chains.
The chains were extremely thick, almost making her unable to move.
She hung her head, her whole body immersed in the cold pool water.
Her features were delicate and beautiful. She resembled a Water Lotus blooming in the water. If not for those glaring chains, she truly looked like a little Fairy.
She hung her head.
Then she heard footsteps.
Someone spoke.
“Do you admit your mistake yet?
If you still refuse to give up, if you continue to attempt to assassinate Lord Sovereign…
The punishment you receive will be more than just this.”
The little girl raised her head.
A deep flicker of stubbornness flashed in her gaze. Her tone carried a hint of mockery.
“Was I wrong?
I did nothing wrong.
Why should I give up?
A dragon that has given up—is it still a dragon?”
Her voice was clear and bright.
The person opposite snorted coldly.
“Hmph, obstinate and unyielding!
You are single-minded about avenging your mother, but your mother was utterly lowly back then. She deliberately framed Lord Sovereign, and after being discovered, her treacherous heart remained undead. She even tried to poison Lord Sovereign. Such a despicable and shameless member of the Dragon Clan—being slapped to death by Lord Sovereign was already letting her off easy!
That kind of trash deserved the punishment of a thousand cuts!
Lord Sovereign treasures you because he values your talent. That’s why he does not mind your lowly origins. Otherwise, you would never have been able to come to the Lingtian Continent. You should have been exiled forever in that poor, remote backwater.
Not only do you fail to cherish this, but you hold a grudge. Incited by others, you disregard right and wrong and oppose Lord Sovereign? Simply shameless, utterly without face!
In my opinion, you should have your bones extracted and your sinews flayed, suffering all kinds of agony. Being confined here now is already letting you off easy!”
The little girl raised her head, the fire in her eyes almost blazing out.
Her tone carried a stubbornness that absolutely refused to yield.
“You’re talking nonsense.
My mother was not a bad person at all.
I will take revenge for her!”
This Little Dragon’s voice was still somewhat childish.
The little girl’s body trembled slightly, and then she said quietly,
“It was clearly you who were too cruel, yet you pushed all the blame onto the innocent…”
Qian Duoduo truly felt extreme heartache.
She did not want to remain in the Dragon Clan at all.
It was icy cold here, without a shred of genuine warmth. If she had not accidentally entered a Secret Realm, she would never have known that her mother had already died long ago—
And died so tragically.
So what if her status was low? The one who committed the evil was that high and mighty dragon!
Qian Duoduo’s gaze remained extremely stubborn.
In her eyes, there seemed to be a flame that would never go out.
“I won’t submit.
I did nothing wrong.”
