Chapter 293: Earth me


    "Will you really get it for me?" Lisa questioned excitedly as she embraced Mona toyfortably on her chest. "A powerful me is the Alchemist''s friend, so I have always dreamed of getting an upgrade. Refining my Fire Qi has helped a lot but it faints inparison to a real me that was made for creation. Once I get one, I can create powerful pills with effects you won''t even imagine."


    "Just tell me. I already promised you," Xuefeng assured while reaching out to pull Yiren closer. She didn''t steal his attention though and simply enjoyed his warmth with a tight hug.


    "You see, there are many mes of Creation that are perfect for Alchemy. One of them belongs to a Phoenix Race. You probably remember how I used Be''s mes to strengthen my pills," Lisa exined. "Naturally, I can''t always ask her for help and I can''t acquire her me without killing anyone. There is only one other option which doesn''t require you to spill blood and those are natural Earth mes."


    Lisa blushed as she finished and added, "Unfortunately, all of the known Earth mes are currently in ownership of other powerful races. One of them is Dragon Race. I found out they use an Earth me to strengthen the members of their race during birth. That ce is called a Dragon Pit and I''m sure Drakos or Katherine knows about it."


    Xuefeng paused kissing Yiren and nodded, "That''s not too bad. Based on your reaction I thought it would be something more inessible. It shouldn''t be a problem. I wanted to visit Dragon Realm anyway, so we can ask them to share some of their Earth me with you."


    "Ehem…" Lisa cleared her throat. "The thing I''m worried about is exactly that. From what I learned, countless Alchemists have visited the Dragon Realm in order to acquire that me but all of them failed. Dragon Race is extremely protective of it and denies anyone no matter what kind of riches they offer. I don''t think it will be easy to convince them."


    "That''s not something you should worry about. That''s all on me," Xuefeng replied confidently. "We just need to negotiate with the Queen of Dragons. How hard can it be?"


    ———


    "I''m telling you this right now, there is no way she is going to agree to this," Drakos informed the moment he heard about Xuefeng''s ns. "The moment you propose it, every member of Dragon Race will get hostile and my mother will kick you out of the Dragon Realm. I''m serious."


    After a night full of cultivation mixed with pleasure, Xuefeng decided to continue the topic of Lisa''s me but Drakos momentarily denounced it.


    Katherine''s expression wasn''t any different and she nodded at his words. "Normally I would never agree with him but this time he is speaking facts. Earth me is extremely rare and it''s very important to our race. Some of the older generations even prays to it so it can bless their grandchildren. It''s crazy out there."


    Lisa looked sad hearing the news but she quickly tugged on Xuefeng''s arm. "Babe, it''s fine. I already knew it''s impossible. Let''s not offend the Dragon Race for it."


    He exchanged nces with her and shook his head with a determined gaze, "No, I have already decided. I''m getting this me for you no matter what."


    "Well, even if you want to get it, it''s not possible now," Drakos informed.


    "What do you mean?" Xuefeng questioned while raising his eyebrows.


    "The Dragon Pit should be closed right now," Drakos replied with a shrug. "To preserve the Earth me, the Dragon Pit is only opened for one day every five years. Even if you somehow seed and my mother agreed to spare you some of it, you would still have to wait to im it."


    "Actually, that would be true in the past. The rules have changed since then," Katherine corrected him right away. "After you killed the Dragon King, the Queen introduced a new system. The Dragon Pit is open for a full month every year now. She wanted to increase the strength of the Dragon Race by speeding up the birth rate. That was also the reason why my family wanted me to marry another pure Dragon."


    "Is she crazy? Wouldn''t that weaken the Earth me?" Drakos asked with a frown.


    "No, it actually strengthened it. Everyone thought the Earth me was weakening with years because of its usage but it was all because we were closing it for a long time. Now that it is open more often, its strength has recovered to the peak from the past."


    "Perfect. There shouldn''t be a problem if we get some of it," Xuefeng sped his hands happily. "I will just offer them a favor in exchange."


    Xuefeng tried to stay humble in that regard but he knew his favors were worth a lot. The moment he beats the King of Heaven and ims his spot, anyone would wish to have a redeemable favor from him.


    "No one is stopping you, but if you want to get it this year then you have to hurry. I''m not sure exactly what day it ends but the Dragon Pit should be open this month," Katherine said while looking at him deep in thought. "I don''t think it is a good idea though. You can wait a year while this Realm is a great opportunity. We recreated our bodies but we still need a lot of Fate Qi to reach the Ancient Celestial Stage."


    It was a valid point. The Earth me wouldn''t run away and many of his wives were still yet to breakthrough.


    "Emi, can we have some additional time?" Xuefeng suggested out loud while staring at the sky. They didn''t really have any other option since he was the one manipting the time around them.


    Thankfully, Emi was always listening.


    "Sure, but once you get that Earth me, I want her to make a few pills for me." Emi''s voice resounded from nowhere. She couldn''t help herself to extort them but it wasn''t a big deal.


    "I don''t mind! I can make anything if I have high-tier ingredients," Lisa replied with a smile. It was a win-win situation for her since she would love to test her new me after getting it anyway.


    "Then it''s settled. Who ising with me?"
