The story was slowly told in Xue Shu's clear and melodious voice.

“Cultivation is already difficult for the ancient serpent clan, let alone in this Dharma-ending Age!”

My father's bloodline isn't very strong, and I've been stuck at the peak of a fifth-tier demon beast, unable to make any progress.

Five hundred years ago, my father somehow obtained an ancient formula that could easily purify bloodlines. However, this formula required the blood of different dragons, and the number of these dragons could not be less than thirty.

At first, I also advised my father not to believe in this remedy of unknown origin, but he simply wouldn't listen!

At this point, Xue Shu's eyes revealed a deep sadness. It seemed she was extremely remorseful. If she had been able to comfort him back then, perhaps her father wouldn't have suffered this calamity!

After calming herself down, Xue Shu slowly began to speak again.

"After my father, he frequently traveled to Mermaid City, exchanging treasures from his clan with the dragons. However, just when they were about to gather enough, the demons of Mermaid City saw through their origins and intercepted them on the way."

Fortunately, they knew that these things came from an ancient race, but they didn't see through my father's background. They didn't know that he was from the Heavenly Snow Ancient Serpent clan. Due to their lack of preparation, my father managed to escape.

But we can never go to Mermaid City again.

The dragon bloodline only absorbed the blood of twenty-nine dragons, and the remaining drop could never be collected. Seeing that his time was up, the emperor impulsively drank the incomplete formula one day.

This is how the situation came about.

I originally thought that as long as I gathered this last drop, I could awaken my father, but now it seems that it still won't work.

After saying these words, tears slowly streamed down Xue Shu's face.

To be honest, although this little ancient snake's cultivation level is passable, it has never experienced any wind or rain in this small secret realm for a long time, so its resilience is still insufficient.

It seems the problem lies in the incomplete formula.

Chen Tianwen thought to himself.

"If we hadn't taken it yet, this simplified method might have been an easy way to obtain a snake horn. But now that we've taken it, we have to find another way to get it."

After figuring this out, Chen Tianwen quickly began to think about it in his mind.

It should be noted that the Qilin clan possesses many precious elixir formulas, and perhaps one of them contains a remedy for this condition.

As expected, the Qilin clan did not disappoint him. Chen Tianwen quickly found out the formula for a pill called Blood Fusion Pill.

The function of this elixir is also very simple.

It can promote the integration of the blood of different demonic beasts into oneself, thereby better refining divine blood.

Chen Tianwen scanned the pill formula with his divine sense and found that it had entered his mind. At the same time, he began to simplify the formula using the Great Dao.

[Blood Fusion Pill, a sixth-tier pill formula, requires 960 kinds of medicinal materials, namely Bloodfrost Flower, Polar Star Grass... and requires six months to refine.]

[Simplification in progress, simplification complete.]

The simplified Blood Fusion Pill requires only ten medicinal herbs and only one hour to refine.

Chen Tianwen breathed a sigh of relief. The formula for the Blood Melting Pill was quite simple. He would refine it for the Ancient Serpent King today, which would be better than the Ancient Serpent King having any problems after they left.

Chen Tianwen deftly placed the ten medicinal herbs in front of Xue Shu, instructing her to begin preparations.

But to his surprise, Xue Shu bit her lip and looked at him with a troubled expression.

"Our ancient serpent clan only has two or three of these things; we have none of the rest."

After saying that, Xue Shu spoke again, feeling embarrassed.

"I know these spiritual herbs are very important to Father Emperor, but I promise that as long as Father Emperor can be saved, you can choose any treasures of the Ancient Serpent Clan!"

Chen Tianwen sighed. Since the little snake had said so, it wasn't his way to just watch it die. He could only take out the remaining spiritual herbs from his storage bag and start refining pills.

This was the first time Shi Yan had seen Chen Tianwen refine pills. Although he knew that Chen Tianwen's pill refining skills were good, this was the first time he had seen such a simple pill refining method, without even a medicine mannequin.

This made him wonder if the pill was even safe to take.

Ao Huang is a sea monster, so whether or not he refines pills is of no use to him, since he doesn't eat them anyway.

Most of the Heavenly Snow Ancient Serpent clan had never left the secret realm, so for them, obtaining the alchemy method from humans was a pipe dream. They all stayed far away, watching the spectacle from a distance.

Apart from Shi Yan, who was always worrying, no one else noticed Chen Tianwen's extraordinary abilities.

On the leveled land, Chen Tianwen took out the alchemy cauldron.

The slow flames of the elixir drifted from his hand and fell into the cauldron.

Chen Tianwen casually threw the spiritual herbs into the pill formula all at once, following the simplified recipe.

Shi Yan, who was standing next to him, twitched his lips but couldn't help speaking up.

"How about we take a look at the prescription?"

Chen Tianwen gave him a puzzled look and said directly.

"That's the prescription!"

"Could this be an ancient alchemy formula? Is it different from the current ones? But that doesn't make sense. I've seen ancient alchemy formulas before, and none of them are this simple."

Shi Yan turned left and right, but still couldn't figure it out.

"If there's nothing else, go see that ancient snake king."

Chen Tianwen only saw Shi Yan pacing back and forth in front of him, and his eyes hurt, so he told him to shoo him away.

Although Shi Yan was full of doubts, this was the most important moment in this alchemy process, the truth of which was unknown.

So they had no choice but to stop and walk inside.

Anyway, I'll have to master this pill sooner or later, then I'll know!

The ancient serpent king on the bed was still in the same condition as before, with a grayish-white face and calm breathing.

But as the increasingly fragrant scent of elixir wafted from outside the window, his face suddenly flushed. His eyes widened abruptly, and he sat up.

"Father!" Xue Shu exclaimed in surprise.

The next moment, a large amount of blood suddenly gushed from the Mermaid King's mouth, ears, and nose, and his breathing became erratic.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Before the joy could even last two seconds, Xue Shu's delight turned to shock, and she didn't know what to do.

While inside the room, E Shiyan placed his hands directly on the ancient snake king's soul and slowly transferred life force into it. However, this method could only temporarily alleviate the problem and could not solve it at all.

At the same time, he shouted for Chen Tianwen to come and help.

Just then, a crisp sound was heard outside—the sound of the alchemy cauldron being opened.

Chen Tianwen followed the sound as he entered.

Approaching the ancient serpent king, he reached out with both hands and placed a blood-red pill of mixed essence directly into the king's mouth.

"Luckily, I made it in time!"

Chen Tianwen sighed and put away the remaining pills.

Shi Yan clearly saw that Chen Tianwen still had nine top-grade pills in his hand.

I was utterly shocked.

Most of the pill-making techniques were performed under his watchful eye. Could there really be such a heaven-defying pill formula in this world?
