Chapter 301: Breaking Through to Fifth Grade! Unexpected Changes!

In the central area of Stone Desert City, within the headquarters of the Elder Brother Mercenary Group, in a courtyard, a tall young man stood in the middle. Before him, there was a crimson medicine cauldron with several giant snake patterns engraved on its body.

At this moment, a ping-pong ball-sized golden medicinal liquid floated in the center of the cauldron, surrounded by a pair of large hands formed by soul power, enveloping it.

The bronze-colored face of Liu Ling gradually reddened under the resistance of the medicinal liquid.

"I didn't expect the formation of a fifth-grade pill to be so much more difficult than a fourth-grade one," Liu Ling sighed inwardly. However, he also knew that if he could successfully refine this pill this time, he would directly advance to the level of a fifth-grade alchemist.

The changes in Liu Ling's complexion were observed by the two maids and the leader of the Charm Snake Clan, Yuemei, in the courtyard.

During the few days Yuemei had been detained in this courtyard by Liu Ling, she had witnessed him refining four pills. In the previous four attempts, Liu Ling had successfully refined fourth-grade pills with ease. However, this time, the fluctuations in Liu Ling's expression during the pill refinement were much more intense than before.

Observing Liu Ling's focused alchemy, Yuemei secretly marveled, "He should be refining a fifth-grade pill this time. To be able to attempt to advance to a fifth-grade alchemist at such a young age is even more impressive than the Alchemy King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire in his youth!"

After this thought crossed her mind, Yuemei's gaze towards Liu Ling also became somewhat unusual.

During the time she had been captured, apart from having her cultivation sealed, she hadn't suffered any abuse. Although she occasionally faced Liu Ling's overt flirtation, Yuemei could feel that the young man's clear eyes didn't harbor any vulgar intentions.

Then, when Yuemei saw the medicine cauldron trembling violently, she unexpectedly felt a hint of worry in her heart, fearing that Liu Ling might fail in refining the pill.

...

"I refuse to believe I can't refine a fifth-grade pill!"

As soul power and the power contained within the medicinal liquid clashed, a thought flashed through Liu Ling's mind. Then, he took a deep breath of hot air, and his face instantly flushed red. Facing the cauldron with his right hand, he gradually opened his palm, then trembled as he slowly closed it again. With a low drink from his throat, he commanded, "Condense!"

As his voice fell, Liu Ling's palm suddenly tightened, and as his palm closed, the medicinal liquid the size of a ping-pong ball in the Scarlet Snake Cauldron trembled violently. Then, at a visible speed, the medicinal liquid rapidly shrank. In the blink of an eye, the liquid disappeared, replaced by the embryonic form of a thumb-sized golden pill.

With the pill formed, the most difficult step had been overcome. Beads of cold sweat dripped from Liu Ling's forehead, and he took a few hurried breaths of air.

Excellent!

"We've sensed Yuemei's aura. She's in that courtyard!"

Not long after entering the sky above Stone Desert City, the two Snake Clan leaders, Mobas and Kuixing, sensed Yuemei's aura and began to accelerate towards the courtyard where Liu Ling was located.

"Boom!"

At the same time, there was a muffled sound from Liu Ling's Scarlet Snake Cauldron. Following that, Liu Ling's excited laughter echoed.

"Haha! Haha! I've finally broken through to become a fifth-grade alchemist."

After saying this, Liu Ling's gaze suddenly froze. In his line of sight, two Snake Clan powerhouses with huge battle qi wings appeared not far away in the sky.

"Oh my god, two Dou King level experts!"

Seeing these two Snake Clan members, Liu Ling's heart skipped a beat.

During his alchemy just now, he had already sensed the presence of the Medusa Queen of the Snake Clan. However, with Little Jin blocking the way, he had intended to persist in refining the pill. But now, he was about to face two Dou King level experts alone.
