Queen Medusa's Shock!

Queen Medusa stood where she was, staring at Xiao Xuan as his words echoed in her mind.

"I can help you increase your strength."

A Dou Zong expert saying something like that in person could not possibly be joking.

Queen Medusa's breathing quickened slightly as she stared at Xiao Xuan, waiting for what he would say next.

Xiao Xuan said nothing more. He took out a scroll from his Storage Ring and casually tossed it over.

Queen Medusa caught it and glanced down. The scroll was filled with the names of medicinal ingredients, densely packed across more than a dozen lines.

Every ingredient was clearly marked, with the main ingredients, supplementary ingredients, age requirements, and quality requirements all listed without omission.

Queen Medusa's pupils contracted slightly.

"This is..."

"The ingredients needed for the Break-Zong Pill. Once you gather everything on there, I'll refine it for you."

Queen Medusa's hand suddenly clenched.

Of course, she had heard of the Break-Zong Pill. It was a pill that could allow a Peak Dou Emperor to break through to the Dou Zong realm. There were not even a few to be found across the entire Northwest Continent, and her voice trembled slightly.

"You can refine a Break-Zong Pill?"

Xiao Xuan looked at her. "You don't believe me?"

Queen Medusa said nothing.

She truly found it hard to believe. The Break-Zong Pill was a peak seventh-grade pill, and no one in the entire Jia Ma Empire could refine one. Could this teenage boy before her really do it?

Xiao Xuan saw the doubt in her eyes. He withdrew his gaze, his expression unchanged.

"Believe it or not, that's up to you. Once you've gathered the ingredients, come find me in the Imperial Capital. If you can't gather them, then pretend I never said anything."

With that, he turned and left.

Queen Medusa watched his retreating back, her hand clutching the prescription tightening slightly. She wanted to call out to him, but swallowed the words as they reached her lips.

This human youth gave her no room to bargain at all. Either accept it or forget it.

She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions, then lowered her head to carefully examine the prescription in her hand. She recognized every ingredient on it, but there were several that even she had never seen before.

The Snake-People Tribe's stores might not contain all of these ingredients.

Queen Medusa frowned.

Xiao Xuan walked out of the Snake-People Tribe's Temple. Several elders behind him lay sprawled on the ground, watching his back, yet not one dared make a sound.

One elder's eyes were filled with fear.

This human youth had not only injured all of them, but had also defeated the queen. Now he was swaggering away, and they did not even dare try to stop him.

Xiao Xuan did not slow down. He passed through street after street toward the outskirts of the tribe. The surrounding snake-people all moved aside when they saw him, their eyes filled with awe.

Even their queen was no match for him. They naturally did not dare provoke him.

Xiao Xuan left the Snake-People Tribe's settlement, spread his Dou Qi Wings, and shot into the sky, flying toward the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Capital.

Along the way, he kept replaying what had just happened in his mind.

Queen Medusa had already been bonded to him. Next, all he had to do was help her increase her strength.

She was currently a Peak Dou Emperor. If she could break through to the Dou Zong realm, he would receive a feedback reward.

By then, his strength could continue rising beyond Two-Star Dou Ancestor.

The corners of Xiao Xuan's lips lifted slightly. He had to admit, the system's feedback mechanism was truly extraordinary. The stronger the person he bonded with, the greater the reward he received.

Queen Medusa was a Peak Dou Emperor. How much feedback would he receive once she broke through to Dou Zong?

As he calculated inwardly, he increased his flying speed.

The great hall of the Snake-People Tribe's Temple was terrifyingly quiet. Several elders still lay on the ground, and no one dared stand up.

Queen Medusa sat on her throne, still holding that prescription in her hand, her gaze fixed on it as she read it word by word.
