Btth: The Rise of Qingshan

"You bastard, I hate you, you rich bastard, you brat..."

The young girl gnashed her teeth in indignation, but could only retract her slender, beautiful legs, glaring fiercely at Yan Qingshan before sitting down again.

The girl opposite Yan Qingshan was not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a rather delicate pretty face and slightly raised light eyebrows, faintly revealing a hint of untamedness like a desert leopardess.

This kind of temperament, combined with her domineering figure, created a unique charm. This desert flower was very beautiful, but she was covered in thorns and had a terrible temper, at least towards Yan Qingshan.

Her attire was quite bold and revealing, somewhat similar to the hot-bodied

cheerleaders Yan Qingshan had seen in his previous life.

Her bronze-colored, sexy slender waist was exposed to Yan Qingshan's view.

Yan Qingshan, who had just woken up in the morning, was a little unsettled, and his eyes were involuntarily drawn to the scenery, down from the delicate navel on her abdomen.

Also, beneath the extremely short leather skirt, a section of sexy, slender, long legs was placed not far from his hand, as if he could feel the alluring taste of those legs with just a reach.

"Heh... you little pervert!"

The girl naturally noticed Yan Qingshan's gaze, but with her bold style, she didn't mind his peeping. Instead, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she was rather pleased that he was attracted to her.

Of course, the prerequisite for a man to look at a girl like this without being disliked is that your own looks must be acceptable. If you were a greasy, perverted uncle, would she call you a hooligan?

"So engrossed in watching, want to touch?"

Yan Qingshan was a little lost in thought, and the girl's red lips moved slightly, a seductive voice coming from beside him, and a round, slender thigh was placed next to his hand.

"Ahem, this... another day, another day..."

Yan Qingshan wasn't a saint either, and this scene was almost hands-on, but the girl's sudden change of attitude made him a little wary.

Glancing at the approaching footsteps outside the door, he quickly straightened his face and leaned back in his chair.

"Hmph... a little brat with a lustful heart but no guts, only knowing how to bully little girls..."

The sexy girl retracted her long legs with some dissatisfaction, and a green figure entered the room holding a washbasin and toiletries. After crisply calling out "Young Master," Qing Ling brought the things to help Yan Qingshan wash up first.

After gargling and washing up, Qing Ling tidied up and left. Then, she came back in, pushing a small cart, placing plates and bowls of food one by one, and then left with the cart of sundries.

After this whole process was completed, Yan Qingshan, who had adjusted his state, raised a cup of black tea to the sexy girl, took a light sip, and put down the teacup.

"Xue Lan, you've got the results of what I asked you to do, right?"

The girl opposite Yan Qingshan frowned at him, but since they were talking about business, she couldn't flare up. She just took out a map from beside her.

"This is what you wanted. I asked my father and several uncles to help, and it took a lot of effort to get such detailed information about that area. What exactly are you looking for?"

The girl's name was Xue Lan, a local of Rock Desert City, born into a mercenary family. Her family's conditions were considered good among mercenaries, and her father was a mid-level member of a mercenary group.

He didn't favor boys over girls and had been carefully cultivating Xue Lan since she was a child.

Xue Lan's talent was very good. At less than nineteen years old, she had reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi, had tried to break through to become a Dou Practitioner several times without success, and was now at the peak of the ninth stage. It was said that she was preparing to try again soon.

At her age, this kind of cultivation was enough to get into Jia Nan Academy. Of course, this talent wasn't particularly outstanding in Jia Nan Academy, at least not compared to the current Yan Qingshan.

"Thank you!"

Yan Qingshan took the map from the girl's hand. It clearly marked the detailed situation of an area in the eastern part of Rock Desert City, with specific terrain, water sources, and information on the types of magical beasts active in the vicinity and the activity range of the Snake-People tribe in the east of Rock Desert City.

"Hey, brat, what exactly are you looking for?"

Seeing that Yan Qingshan's attention was entirely on the map and he didn't respond to her at all, Xue Lan immediately became impatient and leaned closer to him to attract his attention, but this time she failed. Yan Qingshan didn't turn his head at all.

"This area, it's not too cold at night, is it?"

Yan Qingshan finally turned his head, but it wasn't because he was attracted by her figure and beauty. Instead, he pointed to an area marked as a sandy area on the map and asked.

"Uh..."

Xue Lan was obviously stunned, but since Yan Qingshan had brought the map right in front of her, she could only take it and look at it before saying, "This area, it seems to be like that.

I went there with my father before. The sand was very warm when we camped at night, unlike other places where it's very cold.

But that area has nothing but yellow sand, let alone water sources, not even mountains or rocks, and no mineral deposits. Some people have tried digging down, but all they found was sand."

"Is that so..."

Yan Qingshan's eyes turned, and he became interested in this suspicious place, because it was very likely to be the target he was looking for.

Yan Qingshan had traveled all the way from the Magical Beast Mountain Range to Rock Desert City. His first goal was naturally Qing Ling, this potential stock, and his other goal, of course, was to find the location of the first Heavenly Flame obtained by the protagonist in the original work, the Green Lotus Core Flame.

It was still several years before Queen Medusa used the Heavenly Flame to break through, and according to the original work, Medusa tried to evolve her bloodline and break through to Dou Ancestor half a year after finding the Heavenly Flame. This meant that the Green Lotus Core Flame was still in its nurturing place.

Of course, Yan Qingshan didn't have any ideas about the Green Lotus Core Flame for the time being. Don't look at the fact that he had collected a set of materials for the Blood Lotus Pill, but he really didn't have the intention to obtain the Heavenly Flame right now.

The Heavenly Flame was indeed a good treasure. Even if it wasn't used to evolve the Burning Blaze Dou Qi Method, it was a rare treasure in the world.

But for Yan Qingshan, who was only a Dou Practitioner now and had wood attributes, it was almost useless.

Fire countered wood, and there was a restraining relationship in attributes. Moreover, this was a Heavenly Flame. Not to mention absorbing it, even approaching it could easily lead to death.

What he wanted wasn't the Heavenly Flame, but another thing in the hiding place of the Green Lotus Core Flame, or rather, a creature, the guardian of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the extremely rare magical beast, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent.

The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent generally grows in extremely heat places, lives by devouring magma, and has an extremely large potential for evolution. When it's born, it's only a first-rank magical beast.

If it has enough opportunities, it may be able to evolve into a sixth-rank magical beast comparable to a Dou Emperor powerhouse.

The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent in the nurturing place of the Green Lotus Core Flame was a spirit snake with enough opportunities.

Because it was the nurturing place of the Heavenly Flame, the magma in this area was far superior in quality to ordinary magma areas.

This Fire Spirit Serpent was already a fourth-Rank magical beast. In the magma area, its strength was even stronger than a fifth-rank magical beast.

Of course, its luck wasn't always good. First, because it had to guard the Heavenly Flame, it was injured and ran away by Queen Medusa a few years later.

Before it could recover from its injuries, it was blocked by the protagonist at the door. After being subdued, it was ambushed and killed. Its end was really…

The fourth-rank magical beast, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, was stronger than the average Dou Spirit's combat power, but as a magical beast, its bestiality overwhelmed its rationality.

Generally, only fifth-rank magical beasts or high-bloodline magical beasts could have higher intelligence and try to get rid of the influence of bestiality.

Magical beasts below the fifth rank, although stronger than humans of the same level in one-on-one combat, could be targeted and killed by people who took advantage of their bestial habits in a situation where they are surrounded, even if the opponent's overall strength is not as good as theirs, they may be targeted and killed by calculating their bestial habits.

But after reaching the fifth-Rank magical beast, their intelligence is not inferior to that of ordinary people, and there are very few human tricks that can be used against magical beasts.

At this time, it is the magical beast that crushes humans in a one-to-many situation.

When encountering magical beasts above the fifth Rank, if there is no powerhouse of the same level to hold them back, it is common for the entire team to be wiped out.

Yan Qingshan himself came from an ordinary background and had no backing. In this Dou Qi Continent, if you don't have any backing or trump cards, it's extremely difficult to grow up.

It's not that you won't cause trouble if you keep hiding. The world is unpredictable. As long as you are alive, you can't avoid disputes. Even if you live in seclusion, you may be entangled in grudges for various reasons. Moreover, Yan Qingshan is not a person who is bent on avoiding the world.

It is precisely because he knows that hiding all the time is not very meaningful that Yan Qingshan will show his strength at the right time.

The Lionheart Baptism requires a lot of resources, and it is not easy to collect them by himself. Moreover, with such a large amount of precious materials, there will always be clues that are discovered.

Instead of doing it secretly, it is better to control the Ten Thousand Medicines House more simply and easily.

Since he has shown his strength, Yan Qingshan has to speed up his pace. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a backing or trump cards. He can find and create them himself.

A fifteenth-year-old Dou Practitioner is definitely a genius. With his current strength and talent, any force in the Jia Ma Empire would not refuse his joining.

However, he is not interested in the petty forces of the Jia Ma Empire and hopes to join a stronger and freer force. Jia Nan Academy is not bad.

Joining Jia Nan Academy is a mid-term goal and is not urgent. After all, Jia Nan Academy's enrollment is at fixed time slots.

But another short-term goal, creating a backing and trump cards for himself, is possible.

The fourth-Rank Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, fourth-Rank magical beast equivalent to the Dou Spirit's, is certainly powerful.

But knowing the specific situation of the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent and targeting it specifically, it is still possible to subdue it successfully.

Once it is subdued, a fourth-Rank magical beast comparable to the Dou Spirit, Yan Qingshan will really have a trump card to play.

And once he has a trump card, he will have more room for many things, and he will be able to carry out more and easier plans.
