After personally experiencing this semi-finished Red Flame Celestial Liquid, Xiao Lin actually felt some admiration for the boldness of the Sky Serpent Imperial Family.
After all, this was the equivalent of giving away more than thirty top-tier semi-finished Tier 7 medicinal pills at once. Furthermore, after his personal observation, Xiao Lin did not find any side effects in this semi-finished Red Flame Celestial Liquid.
Therefore, he directly withdrew the Star Dou Qi within his body that had been wrapping the liquid. However, because of this, Xiao Lin was somewhat at a loss regarding the intentions of the Sky Serpent Imperial Family.
After all, what was the point of all this?
Just as Xiao Lin was pondering the Emperor's purpose for giving them the semi-finished liquid, a powerful Dou Qi suddenly surged within his body. But not long after this Dou Qi rose, it withered away again.
Ultimately, Xiao Lin only felt a massive amount of energy remaining inside his body.
This energy was harmless, but Xiao Lin simply could not absorb it!
Of course, discharging this massive energy from his body would be very easy. But including the current Xiao Lin, who would be willing to discharge such a harmless energy from their body?
Under these circumstances, they naturally tried every method possible to absorb it.
Xiao Lin's situation was, of course, happening to the other Dou Zong powerhouses present as well.
"Your Majesty Tian She, what exactly is going on? Why is it that after drinking the Red Flame Celestial Liquid, this energy remains in my body and I can't absorb it?"
The one most anxious about this was still that old Dou Zong from the Dark Abyss Gate.
He was desperate!
How could he not be?
After all, he was just one step away from completely healing the hidden injuries in his body. Now that he had drunk the liquid but couldn't absorb it, he was scratching his head in frustration.
Although the other Dou Zong powerhouses weren't acting as exaggeratedly as the old man from the Dark Abyss Gate, their flushed faces still betrayed their inner urgency. Regardless of who it was, everyone basically shared the same thought.
The Red Flame Celestial Liquid was harmless; they were sure of that. Even though they couldn't absorb the energy now, discharging it would be effortless. So, while they couldn't absorb it yet, no one would blame Emperor Tian She.
One had to admit the brilliance of the Sky Serpent Imperial Family here.
Using poison to control everyone? Only an idiot would do that!
If even one thing went wrong, they would easily face a collective attack from everyone!
If that happened, forget about using these Dou Zong powerhouses to suppress the Sky Serpent Mansion; the Imperial Family would be lucky if they weren't torn to shreds by the combined forces behind these experts.
Thus, the Sky Serpent Imperial Family never had such a thought.
Xiao Lin's earlier caution had been somewhat unnecessary.
The Imperial Family wasn't stupid enough to go to that extent. Therefore, for the sake of this plan, the Imperial Family had specially spent over a hundred years preparing.
Their goal was to brew this semi-finished Red Flame Celestial Liquid. The truly brilliant part of their plan lay in knowing how to use profit to entice these Dou Zong powerhouses attending the Founding Ceremony!
If the group didn't know the effects of the finished liquid, they naturally wouldn't have any reaction. However, after drinking the semi-finished version, many Dou Zong powerhouses had already vaguely felt the changes they would undergo if they could fully absorb this energy.
That change would be exactly as the Emperor said: an increase in strength and the healing of hidden injuries. Faced with such blatant temptation, and being only one step away from their goal, no one was willing to discharge that energy.
Even Xiao Lin felt a bit reluctant, let alone the others.
In this way, these Dou Zong powerhouses would be led by the nose by Emperor Tian She.
"Everyone, please do not worry. It is actually quite normal for you to be unable to absorb the energy right now. The Red Flame Celestial Liquid is not yet finalized; it is still missing one final step. Therefore, you are currently unable to absorb that energy."
At this moment, Emperor Tian She, appearing as if everything was within his grasp, wore a confident smile.
Currently, the entire plan was moving exactly according to his schemes.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, why were you able to absorb that energy directly? Is there something involved that we don't know about?"
At this time, the female Dou Zong from the Azure Water Pavilion spoke up.
"This brings us to the issue of how to completely finish the Red Flame Celestial Liquid. In fact, to finalize it, one needs an item of extreme cold! Of course, since the semi-finished liquid has already been absorbed by all of you, you only need to find a place of extreme cold to cultivate."
"You will naturally be able to fully absorb it. The reason I could absorb it is that I had already consumed a pill with extreme cold properties beforehand. Thus, the moment I finished the liquid, it became a completed product."
Emperor Tian She spoke eloquently, answering the questions of the Dou Zong powerhouses.
Having said this much, the Emperor believed that many of the Dou Zong present would have already fallen into the trap. Sure enough, as the Emperor's voice fell, a Dou Zong powerhouse immediately followed up.
"I see. However, Your Majesty, I have a presumptuous request. I hope you can grant it. If so, my Azure Wolf Valley will be eternally grateful!"
The Dou Zong from Azure Wolf Valley spoke while cupping his fists toward the Emperor on the altar.
'Here it comes!'
The opening from the Azure Wolf Valley Dou Zong made the Emperor instantly excited.
"Please speak. Our guests are our priority. As long as my Sky Serpent Empire can do it, we will naturally not refuse."
The Emperor replied with great righteousness.
If they didn't speak up, how could he use his kindness to demand a favor in return? That's right—this was the true goal of the Sky Serpent Imperial Family.
To use the favor as leverage and then suppress the Sky Serpent Mansion!
As the plan proceeded more and more smoothly, the Emperor's eyes grew brighter and brighter!
"Your Majesty, you are surely aware of our current situation. I have heard that within the borders of the Sky Serpent Empire, there exists a place of extreme cold known as the Heavenly Water Cold Pond."
"Therefore, if possible, could we be allowed to enter and cultivate for a while to completely absorb the energy in our bodies?"
The Dou Zong from Azure Wolf Valley voiced his request.
However, as his words fell, the faces of the three people from the Sky Serpent Mansion—who already had a bad premonition—turned pale all at once!
