Chapter 362 Tianhuang Scorpion
"I..."
Lin Dan's expression turned anxious. He had shared this information hoping that Blaze Regret, a third grade alchemist, would owe him a favor, thus allowing him to connect with a powerful ally. However, receiving these pills in return made him feel a bit bitter; was Blaze Regret intending to settle the score?
"Don't overthink it. I just want to help you improve your strength," Blaze Regret said calmly.
These pills were concocted by Blaze Regret in his spare time. They couldn't be absorbed by his Ice Control Irenix, but they were immensely beneficial for someone like Lin Dan. On the market, a single pill like this would fetch at least a hundred thousand gold coins.
Hearing this, Lin Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stored the Ice Spike Pills into his void realms stone.
"By the way, tomorrow, the Thousand Stone Hall under the Angsana Pavillion is hosting an alchemist assessment. Aren't you considering attending?" Lin Dan asked softly.
"Alchemist assessment? Not interested," Blaze Regret replied with a dismissive shake of his head.
The so called alchemist assessment was merely a public evaluation of an alchemist's skills, something Blaze Regret was completely indifferent to.
"That's really a pity. If you could obtain the third grade alchemist's insignia, you'd get a recipe for the Rock Cast Pill. That pill can help a ninth tier rock attributed spirit beast successfully break through to the lord level," Lin Dan said, sounding somewhat regretful.
"Rock Cast Pill?"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest appeared in Blaze Regret's dark eyes. He then lightly licked his somewhat dry lips.
Perhaps finding some time to participate in the alchemist assessment might be a worthwhile endeavor after all.
The cold moonlight poured down from the sky like a layer of silver gauze, falling into the spacious room. Under the cover of this silver veil, a pale yellow fire Cat lay quietly with its eyes closed, emitting an exceptionally intense heat from within.
As the room's temperature gradually increased, it seemed as though one substantial pale yellow tails extended from behind the Cat, slowly swaying, presenting a rather strange sight.
"This mutated blazing fruit has absorbed the essence of the Four tailed red flame Cat. I wonder how much benefit it will bring to Red."
Blaze Regret looked at Red lying on the bed and smiled slightly. Beside him, a thick layer of bedding was piled up to prevent Red's body temperature from getting too high and causing it to catch fire.
After gazing at Red for a while longer to ensure everything was fine, Blaze Regret felt reassured. He slowly lowered his head and interlocked his fingers lightly in front of his cross legged position.
"What's on your mind?"
A gentle laugh echoed, and the space beside Blaze Regret twisted. Master Magi's figure appeared like a ghost, hovering in mid air.
This time, his form was completely similar to before, lacking some of the imposing aura he had during the Five Demon Halls.
"Unexpectedly, the Haitan family has declined."
After a moment of silence, Blaze Regret sighed softly, his voice carrying an unusual hint of melancholy.
According to ancient records, there were originally five top forces in Snow Storm City: the Kartis Family in the east, the Zang Family in the west, the Feng family in the south, the Haitan family in the north, and the last one being the Angsana Pavillion located near the imperial city.
However, although the ancient records seemed all knowing, they only contained information from over a decade ago. After a conversation with Lin Dan, Blaze Regret learned that the once glorious Haitan family in the north had long since fallen into decline.
The reason for their downfall was that a few years ago, during a hunt for the Tianhuang Scorpion, the head of the Haitan family, Haitan Setan, was betrayed by Kartis Sham and severely injured by the scorpion. His strength plummeted from a sixth tier Spirit King to a second tier Spirit King.
As a result, the Haitan family's status in Snow Storm City plummeted dramatically.
Blaze Regret sighed because, during that massive siege, Haitan Setan had once helped his father by driving away Kartis Sham's Dark Thunder Soul. According to Lin Dan, this was clearly an act of retaliation.
"Why think so much? It's not your fault," Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently, then lowered his head to peruse a brilliant book, which seemed noticeably thicker than it had been before.
"Yeah, it's not my fault," Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly. Although he said this, he couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling inside.
"By the way, can my Healing Star Pendant help Haitan Setan return to his peak?" Blaze Regret suddenly brightened up and took out a pendant shimmering with starlight from the Void realms stone.
"No."
Glancing at the Healing star Pendant, a slight ripple passed through Master Magi's eyes before he looked away indifferently. "Although this pendant is highly valuable, Haitan Setan's injuries are too severe. As long as the Tianhuang Scorpion lives, he will never have the chance to recover. In fact, in a few years, his strength might even plummet again."
Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret did not feel dejected. Instead, his eyes filled with endless anticipation as he stared directly at Master Magi.
Faced with such a gaze from Blaze Regret, Master Magi sighed and shook his head after a brief silence. "Alright, alright. That Tianhuang Scorpion is a sixth tier high level King beast. To take it down, I'll have to exert quite a bit of effort."
Hearing this, Blaze Regret's eyes lit up with joy, and the guilt in his heart dissipated significantly.
"A sixth tier king beast," Blaze Regret repeated, smacking his lips slightly. For a Spirit King, the corresponding spirit beast is a King beast, which, as the name suggests, undergoes a massive transformation after breaking through from a Lord level spirit beast.
Even the strongest Lord level spirit beast cannot defeat a Spirit King level one, which is why Spirit King hold such a transcendent status in the empire.
