Medusa Awakens

Hearing Xiao Ming sigh, Zi Yan's face showed a hint of nervousness.

"Xiao Ming, how are you?"

Upon hearing this, the Snake People Race elder also stared intently at Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming didn't speak immediately but considered his words carefully before speaking.

"Queen Medusa's injuries are quite severe. Her meridians have various hidden injuries, and many places are even ruptured. These injuries are likely caused by prolonged use of Secret Technique to enhance her strength, and they are very difficult to heal."

"Small wisps of Poison Dou Qi still rage within her body, constantly worsening her internal injuries. If it weren't for a gentle energy within her constantly restraining this Poison Dou Qi, Queen Medusa might have already perished. Nevertheless, this has left Medusa's body riddled with wounds. When we arrived, Commander Yue Mei mentioned to me that you have Secret Technique to keep Medusa alive. This must be the power of that Secret Technique. The Secret Technique cannot be stopped, otherwise, no one will return."

"These are the internal injuries I'm referring to. I won't mention the penetrating wounds on the surface; you can all see them clearly."

"So, Xiao Ming, Medusa really easy to cure?" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Ming with great anxiety. From what Xiao Ming, it sounded like it was very difficult to cure. However, if it was Xiao Ming, he should have a way, right?

"Of course it can be cured," Xiao Ming said slowly.

"Hehe, Xiao Ming, you really are the best! I knew you had a way." Zi Yan said with a big smile.

The Four Great Elders of the Snake People Race, along with Yue Mei and Flower Snake in the audience, also showed joy on their faces.

Her Majesty the Queen's injuries left the entire Snake People Race at a loss, with no other option but to use Secret Technique to keep her afloat. However, after Xiao Ming arrived, he quickly came up with a solution, proving himself worthy of being a renowned Alchemy Master in several surrounding countries.

The Great Elder bowed and cautiously asked first:

"I wonder how Master Xiao Ming will heal Her Majesty the Queen?"

"There are several solutions," Xiao Ming said, glancing at the Great Elder before looking at Medusa.

"First, we need to use Peak Grade Seven Pill, the Bone Regeneration Blood Fusion Pill. This pill is already close to the Eighth Grade. If you can find this pill, Queen Medusa will immediately stand up again, and not only that, her strength will not be affected."

"This..." Upon hearing Xiao Ming's proposal, the Great Elder and the others were speechless. In the Snake People Race, even Grade Five or Six Medicinal Pill were Supreme Treasure, let alone Peak Grade Seven Pill.

With a wry smile, the Great Elder said, "Master Xiao Ming, why don't you suggest another solution?"

"The second method is to use a Grade Seven Low-level pill, the Life Returning Pill. This pill can save a life unless the head is chopped off or shattered. It's quite suitable for your queen right now. However, it can only save her life, as it's not specifically designed for internal injuries, so it can't cure them. You'll have to find other pills to treat her later."

"This..." The Great Elder of the Snake People Race was somewhat helpless upon hearing this. Why was it another Grade Seven Medicinal Pill?

Where are they going to find someone to refine these Grade Seven Medicinal Pills?

Just as the Snake People Race Great Elder was about to explain his plan with a bitter expression, Zi Yan said happily, "Xiao Ming, can't you refine Grade Seven Medicinal Pill? Then hurry up and have them bring you the medicinal materials to refine them!"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, the Great Elder looked shocked. She hadn't expected Xiao Ming to be a seventh-grade alchemist! No wonder they kept talking about Grade Seven Medicinal Pill; it turned out he could refine them.

Think about it, Xiao Ming was already Grade Six Alchemist a long time ago, so it's reasonable for him to be a seventh-grade now... just kidding.

It should be noted that Sixth Rank alchemists are already extremely rare in the Northwest Continent, and seventh-grade Alchemist are even rarer than Dou Zun. Compared to Xiao Ming's Dou Zong strength, his status as a seventh-grade Alchemist is the most astonishing.

"This is Peak Grade Seven Bone Regeneration Blood Fusion Pill..."

"Even if I could refine the Bone Regeneration Blood Fusion Pill, you wouldn't be able to find the materials," Xiao Ming said bluntly, knowing what the Snake People Race's Great Elder was trying to say.

Let alone the materials for the Bone Regeneration Blood Fusion Pill, the Snake People Race struggles to even raise the fee for Grade Seven High-level Medicinal Pill, so Xiao Ming wouldn't refine it for them for free.

"That seems to be the case," the Snake People Race's Great Elder chuckled awkwardly, then asked, "Master Xiao Ming, are you capable of refining this Grade Seven Low-level Life- Life Returning Pill?"

"Of course," Xiao Ming nodded and said. He could not only refine the Life Returning Pill, but he even had one on hand.

Upon hearing Xiao Ming that he possessed a Life Returning Pill, the excitement on the faces of all the Snake People Race was barely concealed.

The Great Elder of the Snake People Race remained calmer and asked, "Is there any other way?"

She also wanted to hear if there were any other solutions, perhaps other solutions would be more suitable.

Xiao Ming was not impatient with this, but instead suggested several methods. However, those methods were time-consuming and laborious, and the Snake People Race could not afford to use them.

"By the way, I heard that the Snake People Race has Secret Technique that allows them to evolve by using Heavenly Flames. That's one way too. If successful, the benefits are enormous, but the dangers are also the greatest." As he spoke, Xiao Ming seemed to have thought of something and added.

After listening to what Xiao Ming, the elders of the Snake People Race looked at each other, and it seemed that the second method was more suitable. They simply ignored the last method.

"We'll choose the second method, and we'd like to ask Master Xiao Ming for his assistance."

"Since you've chosen the second option, I have no objection. However, the rescue isn't urgent; we can discuss the compensation first."

"It's understandable, it was our oversight," the Great Elder said with a smile. Xiao Ming certainly had no obligation to provide them with free services.

"We don't know what Master Xiao Ming wants, but we Snake-People will definitely give him whatever we have."

Xiao Ming wanted many things, but the Snake People Race couldn't provide many of them. So, after a moment's thought, Xiao Ming, "The ingredients for four sets of Life Returning Pill, an Earth Tier Cultivation Method, a scroll of Dou Skill, and then..."

Xiao Ming made a series of demands.

Then the Snake People Race elder couldn't hold back any longer.

"Master Xiao Ming, could you give us a discount? Our Snake People Race aren't that wealthy." The Gore Desert, where the Snake-People live, is inherently poor, so the Snake People Race have never been very rich.

"Hmm? So what do you want?" Xiao Ming asked, frowning.

"How about we, the Snake People Race, exchange a Grade Seven Low-level alchemy scroll for a seventh-rank Life Returning Pill?" the Great Elder said awkwardly.

"A seventh-grade alchemy scroll?" Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow. He had forgotten about this. The Snake People Race did indeed have a seventh-grade alchemy scroll. Medusa had even suggested exchanging it for a chance to use Heavenly Flames.

However, he didn't agree at that time.

Trading Grade Seven Medicinal Pill for a grade seven scroll isn't a bad deal; in fact, it's a huge profit.

However, Xiao Ming still raised the price.

Finally, the Snake People Race made a deal with Xiao Ming using one set of materials for the Life Returning Pill, Grade Seven Alchemy Scroll, Sixth-tier Magic Core, and Profound Tier High-Grade Dou Technique.

When the Snake People Race Elder Faction someone to collect the reward, Xiao Ming also concocted a medicinal liquid that could accelerate the recovery of injuries for the four Snake People Race Four Great Elders, as a small bonus.

Ah, you ask why they don't refine pills that can directly restore injuries? Well, that's because the Snake People Race are too poor. Even if Xiao Ming refines them for them for free, they would still have a hard time gathering the necessary medicinal herbs in a short period of time.

Moreover, the Snake People Race -Snake People Race must provide payment for refining pills that can directly restore injuries. Given their poverty, they certainly cannot afford to give them Grade Seven Alchemy Scroll. They can't really make Yue Mei their slave!

Therefore, Xiao Ming refined a relatively simple medicinal liquid.

This medicine has no fixed grade and a long treatment cycle, but the ingredients are simple, it is relatively easy to prepare, and it is effective. For the Snake People Race today, it is still very economical.

"Master Xiao Ming, these are the things you need. Some of the medicinal herbs are truly unavailable to our Snake People Race, so we've substituted them with gold coins of equal value. Please forgive us."

After taking the Na Ring and scanning it, Xiao Ming transferred the contents into his Star Ring and nodded.

"In that case, let's begin."

Walking quickly to Medusa, Xiao Ming did not immediately take out the pill, but instead sent a Formless Flame into Medusa's body.

Medusa Poison Dou Qi within her body causing damage; this needs to be dealt with before treating her injuries.

This Poison Dou Qi would be troublesome for others, but it was no problem at all for Xiao Ming, who had extensive experience in healing injuries.

As soon as the Formless Flame entered Medusa's body, they pounced on the Poison Dou Qi like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Although the Poison Dou Qi wanted to resist, it was powerless against the Fallen Heart Flame, and all its resistance was in vain.

The Poison Dou Qi was completely reduced to nothingness by the burning of the Fallen Heart Flame.

After circulating through Medusa's body, Xiao Ming withdrew the Heavenly Flames.

The moment Xiao Ming withdrew the Heavenly Flames, Medusa let out a soul-stirring moan.

Clearly, the sensation of the Heavenly Flames entering her body was not pleasant for the Snake People Race, whose physical attributes were cold and yin. Medusa, who was in a coma, could not control herself well.

Unaffected by Medusa, Xiao Ming took out a tightly sealed medicine, flicked the cap with his thumb, and a rich Medicinal Fragrance wafted out, instantly invigorating him.

As the Medicinal Fragrance filled the air, a beam of green light suddenly shot out from the bottle's mouth and fled outwards, but before it had gone far, it was caught by a large hand.

"Grade Seven Medicinal Pill is indeed extraordinary; it already possesses some spirituality." The Four Great Elders of the Snake People Race looked at the Life Returning Pill in Xiao Ming's hand with eager eyes. With this, Her Majesty the Queen's life could certainly be saved.

Xiao Ming also examined the Life Returning Pill. To be honest, he had obtained this pill from the Simulator a long time ago, and it had been with him for almost ten years.

He had been using it as a last resort, but he never had the chance to use it.

Now that he has advanced to the Seven-Rank Alchemist, this Grade Seven Low-level Life Returning Pill is not that important. After all, he can now refine pills of the same grade, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it out.

After taking one last look at the Life Returning Pill, Xiao Ming flicked his finger, and the green light flew directly into Medusa's mouth.

The Life Returning Pill truly lives up to its reputation as Grade Seven Medicinal Pill; its effects begin to take hold as soon as it enters the mouth.

Delicate flesh sprouted from the hideous wounds on Medusa's body, and the wounds began to heal. The severely damaged purple snake scales on her lower body also began to fall off, and new scales grew back.

Not only were the physical injuries gradually healing, but even the Aura surrounding his body was gradually rising.

If someone could observe Medusa's meridians, they would be amazed to find that most of the wounds on Medusa's meridians have begun to heal, hidden injuries, blood stasis, and so on have been resolved, and the gentle medicinal power is nourishing every corner of her body.

A powerful vitality permeated the body's organs and internal organs.

Clearly, the Life Returning Pill given by Xiao Ming was extremely powerful.

The only drawback is that, perhaps due to the inappropriate nature of the medicine, although Medusa's meridian injuries have recovered to a considerable extent, some minor wounds are still difficult to heal.

Although these wounds don't seem very serious, they will greatly affect Medusa's potential. Under normal circumstances Medusa would find it difficult to break through to the Dou Zong using conventional methods.

Of course, as a professional Alchemist, Xiao Ming told the Snake People Race elders about the drawbacks of each method, and they were aware of it.

Time ticked by amidst the tense atmosphere among the Snake People Race.

When the medication has almost worn off.

A soft moan sounded, Medusa slowly opened her eyes.

Queen Medusa's actions were noticed by Zi Yan, who had been watching her closely. Zi Yan immediately threw herself into her arms and nuzzled her head.

"Waaah, Medusa, you're finally awake!"

"Zi Yan? What are you doing here!" Medusa, who had just woken up, was a little confused and was very surprised to see Zi Yan here.

At the same time, she was shocked by her physical condition, because she clearly remembered how bad her condition was before she fell into a coma, and she thought she would never wake up again.

Of course, she quickly got the answer to her question about why she woke up.

Because she saw Xiao Ming sitting next to her, and she figured only Xiao Ming could probably heal that kind of injury.

"You saved me?" Medusa's eyes were filled with complicated emotions. She hadn't expected that Xiao Ming, who had always disliked her, would actually save her.

"Zi Yan begged me, and of course, the reward your Snake People Race offered was quite good, wasn't it?"

Seeing that Medusa had woken up, Xiao Ming stood up and clapped his hands.

"... Thank you." Medusa said, patting Zi Yan's head. It was unclear whether she was speaking to Zi Yan or Xiao Ming, or perhaps both.

The fact that Medusa, who is usually so assertive, would actually thank him caught Xiao Ming's attention, but that was all. He then said to Zi Yan...

"You can stay here with her for a while."

After saying that, he beckoned Xiao Yi Xian to leave the space.

Watching Xiao Ming's departing figure, Queen Medusa gestured to the already excited Snake People Race elder to recount the events that had transpired during this time.

As Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian stepped out of the stone gate and onto the stone steps, several leaders of the Snake People Race from the Yin Shi looked over.

After seeing that the person who came out was Xiao Ming, they gathered around.
