BTTH : From the beginning of the battle to the top

When Yue Mei, who had been on guard at the periphery, was called over to detoxify, she was stunned to hear that Lin Yuan had become the alchemy elder of the Serpent People, on par with the four great elders.

She couldn't understand how such a powerful enemy had suddenly turned into an ally, and one with a higher status than her. However, the Serpent People had a strict hierarchy, and despite her confusion, Yue Mei still bent slightly and paid her respects.

"Greetings, Alchemy Elder. Thank you for helping me with the detoxification."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Before long, Lin Yuan had removed the poison from Yue Mei's body.

"Well then, everyone, we part ways here today. I will head directly to the Serpent People's Holy City in three days." With that, Lin Yuan spread his wings and transformed into a streak of light, flying off into the distance.

After Lin Yuan left, Queen Medusa gazed in the direction he had gone, her eyes distant, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty?" The Grand Elder called out to Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa withdrew her gaze, brushed her long hair with her hand, and spoke in a somewhat ethereal voice, "Thank you for your efforts today, elders."

"Your Majesty is too kind. Some matters need not weigh on your mind. I believe that someone as exceptional as Alchemy Elder will surely become a brilliant star even in the Central Continent. I trust that in the future, many powerful beings will fall to him like stars in the sky," the Grand Elder remarked meaningfully.

"I understand, Grand Elder," Queen Medusa replied nonchalantly.

"Alas," the Grand Elder sighed, recognizing the tone in her voice. It indicated a decision had been made in her heart. He then helplessly said to Yue Mei, "Yue Mei, what happened today must not be disclosed to anyone else. The Alchemy Elder became our alchemy elder at our invitation; we have not had any conflicts. In the future, you must show him respect. Do you understand?"

Yue Mei slightly bowed, "I understand!"

"Let's go back!" Queen Medusa called out, and everyone flew towards the Serpent People's Holy City.

"If I can truly evolve, perhaps I will have the chance to compete with him again!"

Meanwhile, in a quaint courtyard in Shimo City, Qinglin sat on a stone bench, gazing at the familiar surroundings with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

This was the very courtyard where Lin Yuan and she had lived together for a time.

Although she had only spent a few months with him, those months felt longer and more memorable than the previous ten years of her life. It was as if this courtyard, though she had only left a few months ago, evoked a deep sense of nostalgia upon her return.

Qinglin withdrew her gaze, recalling that she had exceeded her training tasks for the day. She then took out a notebook from her storage ring and began to flip through it. This notebook contained information on how to efficiently process received information.

In recent days, with the completion of the Tianqiong network, Qinglin found that although she could communicate with many of her subordinates simultaneously, her ability to process information was still lacking. She relied heavily on Lin Yuan's specific guidance. Therefore, she had been learning how to discern what was important and valuable information during her training.

She had asked Lin Yuan about this, and he had praised her attitude, explaining it thoroughly and even writing a related notebook for her, which was the one she held now.

There were many similar notebooks, such as how to efficiently gather information with her subordinates and how to command them in battle. In addition, there were some related texts. Although she didn't fully understand many of them yet, she enjoyed reading and learning during her training. Qinglin relished the experience of discussing and solving problems with Lin Yuan.

Suddenly, Qinglin seemed to receive some information, a smile appearing on her lips, and a look of understanding in her eyes as she softly murmured, "The Grand Elder of the Mo family? Is he coming?"

After pondering for a moment, Qinglin seemed to make a decision and then took out a notebook on how to command her subordinates in battle to review it.

Before long, a streak of blue light crossed the sky as Lin Yuan, who had just gone to the异火洞窟 to drop off some items, landed in the courtyard.

Qinglin put down her notebook and approached him, her face breaking into a radiant smile. "Young Master, welcome back."

"Yes, I'm back, Qing'er! Have you encountered anything unusual here?" Seeing Qinglin so cheerful upon entering the courtyard, Lin Yuan smiled warmly. This courtyard seemed to hold a unique significance for her.

"Yes, there are some matters to report to you, but you should rest first! You've been busy outside for a long time. Let Qing'er give you a massage for a while; I've gained some new insights on this recently!" As she spoke, Qinglin pulled Lin Yuan to sit on the stone bench.

"Alright, thank you!" After a round of battles and some scheming, Lin Yuan indeed felt a bit tired.

"This is what I should do," Qinglin said, gently pressing around Lin Yuan's forehead with her delicate hands.

"Mm~," Lin Yuan let out a comfortable hum. This girl was becoming increasingly skilled.

As she massaged him, Qinglin began to share her discoveries.

"Young Master, in the past few days while I was setting up the information network around here, I suddenly found that someone was monitoring me. I arranged for a few subordinates to follow them and discovered that their target was my Bi She San Hua Tong. They later returned to the Mo family's base in Shimo City. I just received intelligence that the Grand Elder of the Mo family will arrive here tomorrow."

"The Grand Elder of the Mo family, Mo Cheng? What do you think, Qing'er?"

"Young Master, can I handle this matter? I want to try out what you taught me before," Qinglin asked softly.

"Oh? Since you have this intention, then I look forward to your performance this time, Qing'er." Seeing Qinglin take the initiative, Lin Yuan felt gratified. Since Qinglin had followed him, she had been diligently training and learning, and now it was time for some practical training.

"Thank you, Young Master."

The next night.

In the Mo family's base in Shimo City, a thin old man with graying hair stood in the center of the main hall. He was the Grand Elder of the Mo family, Mo Cheng.

At this moment, his expression was somewhat agitated, and the greed in his eyes was hard to conceal. Ever since he learned of the existence of the Bi She San Hua Tong, he had longed for those eyes. Now, he finally saw the dawn of fulfilling his wish. Mo Cheng laughed heartily at the two men kneeling below him, "Good, good! Mo Si, Mo Wu, you have done well. Finding the Bi She San Hua Tong this time is a great achievement for you. I will reward you handsomely afterward."

"Thank you, Grand Elder!" the two replied loudly.

"What's the situation over there?" Mo Cheng asked.

A middle-aged man beside him cautiously replied, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, according to your instructions, we immediately sent word to you upon discovering the Bi She San Hua Tong and dispatched people to keep watch. Currently, Mo Yang and Mo Tie are monitoring the area. If anything happens, they will immediately signal. So far, there has been no signal, so it seems there are no changes."

Mo Cheng waved his wide sleeves, "Very well, lead the way. This time, I will personally capture the Bi She San Hua Tong."

More than a dozen people filed out, heading towards Lin Yuan's residence. However, when they reached a sandy area halfway, they saw a girl in green walking gracefully under the bright moonlight, followed by a two-headed fire spirit snake about four to five zhang long, with two snake-shaped magical beasts about four zhang long clearing the way. The three magical beasts exuded a terrifying aura, each radiating the powerful presence of a fourth-tier magical beast.

"Miss? What are you doing?" The middle-aged man from the Mo family appeared somewhat flustered.

"Aren't you looking for me? To prevent you from causing chaos at home, I came directly."

A new month has begun, and I kindly ask everyone to cast a vote to help increase the exposure and traffic for this book. Thank you all for your support!
