"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The anxious cries were soon heard by Gu He and Queen Medusa inside the great hall.
Hearing the cries, Gu He temporarily dismissed the thought of checking the Five Hundred Years of Cultivation and glanced at Queen Medusa.
"I am fine!"
To prevent Hua She'er and the other snake people from disturbing them, Queen Medusa parted her red lips, and a cold, imposing shout rang out from the temple before swiftly carrying beyond its walls.
With just that single shout, all the snake people, Hua She'er included, were so overwhelmed that they could not straighten their bodies and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Her Majesty has become several times stronger than before... The rise of our Snake People Tribe will be unstoppable."
A wild joy suddenly surged onto Hua She'er's face as she was enveloped by the powerful pressure contained within that voice.
"Cai'er, how do you feel?"
After Queen Medusa finished speaking, Gu He asked about her condition.
"Master, Cai'er has almost completely absorbed this power!"
Queen Medusa answered Gu He's question seriously, then hesitantly asked, "But... will this transfer of cultivation have any effect on you, Master?"
"It is nothing. I only gave you half a year's worth of cultivation, yet it saved you nearly a dozen years of arduous training. It is a very worthwhile trade." Hearing Queen Medusa's question, Gu He waved his hand, unconcerned.
"Half a year's cultivation raised my realm to a nine-star Dou Zong. Master truly is no ordinary Dou Zun expert!"
As Queen Medusa marveled inwardly at Gu He's strength, a wave of gratitude also rose in her heart.
After all, she had never seen a powerful expert willing to give the fruits of their painstaking cultivation to a disciple like this.
"Master... You have been far too good to Cai'er. Cai'er does not even know how to repay you..." At this thought, Queen Medusa's voice choked up. Her originally cool and noble, peerlessly beautiful face now looked somewhat vulnerable.
Gu He gently ran his hand through her soft hair and comforted her, "All right, do not overthink it. I do not expect any repayment. As long as you work hard to improve your strength, I will be very gratified!"
"Master, your disciple will certainly cultivate diligently and will not disappoint you!" Queen Medusa promised.
"Good. Next, I will give you a second gift." After saying this, Gu He took out a black jade bottle from the System Space and handed it to Queen Medusa, who sat upon the throne.
Queen Medusa extended her slender arm and took the jade bottle. Without hesitation, she opened its cap, and an instantly refreshing medicinal fragrance rushed out.
"Master, what is this?" Feeling the vast energy contained within the pill, Queen Medusa asked curiously.
"There is a Seventh-Grade Pill inside, a Pill to Break Dou Zun. It can increase the chances of a peak Dou Zong expert breaking through to Dou Zun!" Gu He explained.
"A Seventh-Grade Pill, a Pill to Break Dou Zun!"
Since it was Queen Medusa's first time seeing a Seventh-Grade Pill, her reaction was extremely intense.
But then she suddenly recalled Gu He's earlier introduction of himself.
Master is Dan Zun. He can even refine Eighth-Grade Pills, so what is there to be surprised about with a Seventh-Grade Pill?
After forcibly persuading herself, Queen Medusa took a deep breath, slowly replaced the cap, and put the jade bottle away.
Just as Queen Medusa was feeling shocked, Gu He received a system notification at the same moment.
"Ding! Detected that the host has bestowed upon his seventh disciple, Cai Lin, a Seventh-Grade Pill, the Pill to Break Dou Zun. Congratulations, host, on receiving a Ten Thousandfold Return: one Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, the Bodhi Great Returning Pill!" "The Bodhi Great Returning Pill has been issued to the System Space. Please check and collect it."
The Bodhi Great Returning Pill!
This was a pill capable of increasing the chance of breaking through to Half-Saint by fifty percent. Its effects were several times stronger than those of the Eighth-Grade Pill, the Bodhi Pill.
Even Gu He was somewhat moved by the formidable effects of such a pill.
After giving away the Pill to Break Dou Zun, Gu He immediately took out another Seventh-Grade Pill. This pill specialized in healing, and after receiving the system's Ten Thousandfold Return, Gu He once again obtained a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, which was likewise meant for healing.
"Master, your disciple thanks you for your three meeting gifts!"
After Gu He gave away this pill, Queen Medusa thanked him gratefully.
Seeing Queen Medusa in this state, Gu He hurriedly said, "Do not rush to thank me yet. There is more!"
"More?"
"Master, I was really only joking about those things before. Your disciple is not that greedy. I am already very satisfied with three meeting gifts."
Hearing Gu He's words, Queen Medusa thought of what had happened earlier and hurriedly explained.
Seeing Queen Medusa's somewhat agitated reaction, Gu He suddenly put on a stern face and said, "A gift is a gift. This time, I intend to teach you a cultivation technique. Are you going to refuse to learn the cultivation technique your master is imparting to you?"
"Ah!"
Seeing Gu He suddenly change his expression, Queen Medusa's heart immediately became flustered. Yet she knew very well that a cultivation technique was the greatest help a master could give a disciple. If she refused to learn the cultivation technique taught by her master, it would practically count as defiance. Thus, she hastily said, "Master, you misunderstand. Cai'er did not mean that!"
"Since you do not mean that, then get ready!" Gu He said no more and directly extended his palm toward Cai Lin's smooth forehead.
"Get ready?"
Seeing Gu He's movement, Queen Medusa was immediately puzzled. This time, she did not close her eyes. Instead, she watched fixedly as Gu He's palm touched her body.
After Gu He's palm pressed against her forehead, a vast amount of information strangely surged into her mind.
Heavenly Snake Art!
A low-grade Heaven-tier cultivation technique!
After receiving some of the information in her mind, Queen Medusa had almost no time to wonder why Gu He possessed a Heaven-tier cultivation technique suitable for snake people, or how he could directly instill it into her mind in such a strange manner. At that moment, she had to gather all her focus to digest the immense amount of information.
The reason Gu He had waited until now to teach Queen Medusa a cultivation technique was because the Heavenly Snake Art was a product returned by the system and could not be returned again. That was why he only took it out after using up all three return opportunities.
With the Heavenly Snake Art, Queen Medusa's growth rate would become even faster than before.
After only a short while, Gu He withdrew his palm. Everything concerning the Heavenly Snake Art had been transmitted into Queen Medusa's mind.
