Queen Medusa's Shock!

The reason Ya Fei was so agitated was not only because Mr. Yao was a Dou Zong powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire.

It was also because he was a peerless Rank 7 Alchemist; that was the reason for her current attitude.

"Mr. Yao, on behalf of the Miteer Family, I make you this promise: from this day forward, you shall be the honored guest of our Miteer Family."

"In the future, if there is ever any need for our Miteer Family or the Miteer Auction House, just say the word. No matter how difficult the task, our family and the auction house will spare no effort to fulfill it."

Ya Fei spoke earnestly, looking at Mr. Yao with a guarantee, her attitude exceptionally sincere.

"Very well, I shall remember those words." Mr. Yao's voice was indifferent. Once he had finished speaking, Ya Fei invited him into the hall to sit and have a cup of hot tea.

"That will do." Mr. Yao nodded. Just as he was about to enter the hall with Ya Fei, he suddenly heard the guards outside let out cries of pain.

"What is going on? What happened?" Hearing the screams outside, Ya Fei's expression froze.

She was just about to go up and investigate when she noticed several guards running in quickly.

They looked at Ya Fei and said, "Sister Ya Fei, there is a powerhouse from the Snake People Tribe outside. She says she is looking for a Sixth-grade Alchemist. I believe she must be looking for Mr. Yao."

"A powerhouse from the Snake People Tribe? What is her strength?"

"It is unclear, but she should be a Dou Huang level powerhouse."

The Snake People Tribe, a Dou Huang powerhouse—could it be Queen Medusa from the Tagor Desert? Ya Fei considered the possibility.

Her expression became vigilant.

Ya Fei looked at Mr. Yao and said, "Mr. Yao, the person outside is highly likely to be Queen Medusa of the Snake People Tribe. It seems she is here for you."

"Let's go, let's go out and see," Mr. Yao said, then walked out of the Miteer Auction House to the exterior.

Once outside, he saw a snake person with a stunning face and dressed in red robes; the person was indeed Queen Medusa.

To think that even Queen Medusa of the Snake People Tribe would come to my small auction house; what an honor, Ya Fei thought to herself.

It seems Mr. Yao's reputation has truly resounded throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.

"May I ask, are you Queen Medusa of the Snake People Tribe?" Upon seeing her, Ya Fei took the initiative to greet her.

Queen Medusa's expression was cold and glamorous. Her voice was icy as she spoke slowly, "It seems you have an alchemist here capable of refining Sixth-grade medicinal pills?"

"Mr. Yao, this Queen Medusa of the Snake People Tribe is indeed here for you," Ya Fei said, looking at Mr. Yao.

Hearing her words, Medusa's gaze slowly shifted and landed on Mr. Yao.

Was he that alchemist?

The alchemist capable of refining the Sixth-grade Sect-Breaking Pill? A Dou Zong powerhouse?

Medusa's gaze and attention remained fixed on the Mr. Yao before her. He wore a black robe, seemingly intending to hide his identity.

Medusa was also curious. She spoke slowly, saying:

"You are that alchemist? I heard you possess the strength of a Dou Zong."

Queen Medusa was currently a Nine-star Dou Huang at the peak. Although she had not yet advanced to the strength of a Dou Zong, she was still the most elite existence among Dou Huang powerhouses.

Having finally encountered a Dou Zong, Medusa was extremely interested. If possible, she would very much like to exchange a few moves with a Dou Zong.

She wanted to see exactly how large the gap was between a Nine-star Dou Huang peak and a Dou Zong.

Mr. Yao could easily tell that Queen Medusa seemed to doubt his strength as a Dou Zong, so he stood where he was without saying a word.

He simply reached out, and a cluster of cyan flames instantly surged from his palm.

Green Lotus Core Flame.

Queen Medusa's expression froze. She thought she had seen wrong, but after a careful look, she was completely certain.

This was the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Exotic Fire of the Tagor Desert!

She had originally intended to obtain the Exotic Fire to help herself advance to Dou Zong, but she had arrived a step too late; the fire had already been taken by someone else.

She never expected that person to be the Mr. Yao standing before her!

If the other party were merely an ordinary Dou Huang, Medusa would certainly have attacked to seize it in order to increase her own strength.

But Mr. Yao was a Dou Zong powerhouse. Even though Medusa desperately wanted the Exotic Fire, she had to weigh whether she had the ability to snatch it from the hands of a Dou Zong.

"This Queen is the ruler of the Snake People Tribe. I have come to your Wutan City today because I heard from the elders in my tribe that you refined a pill some days ago that allows a Nine-star Dou Huang at the peak to break through the Dou Huang barrier and enter the Dou Zong realm?"

"Therefore, I specifically wish to request that you refine another one. Our Snake People Tribe will naturally reward you handsomely."

Hearing the words Queen Medusa had just spoken, her arrogant attitude was the same as it had been toward Xiao Yan and everyone else.

But she had to understand one thing: Mr. Yao was currently a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

What did a mere Queen Medusa, with the strength of a Dou Huang, amount to?

She dared to refer to herself as "this Queen" in his presence, and Mr. Yao was not going to indulge her.

Mr. Yao's Dou Qi erupted instantly, and an incomparably tyrannical force suddenly exploded from the surface of his body.

Queen Medusa, even with her Nine-star peak Dou Huang strength, was forced back several meters.

"If you wish to ask me to refine a Sixth-grade pill, then put away that queenly posturing of yours!"

"Your Snake People Tribe might be strong within the Jia Ma Empire, and ordinary human factions might not dare to provoke you."

"But to me, your Snake People Tribe is nothing more than ants!"

Yao Chen's voice fell slowly, and Queen Medusa's expression turned to one of instant terror. Was this the power of a Dou Zong expert?

Just a moment ago, the instant Yao Chen's Dou Qi erupted, Queen Medusa had been unable to move a muscle, left completely without the power to resist.

If she had engaged in even a brief exchange with Yao Chen just now, she would have suffered a crushing defeat on the spot, without a shred of suspense.

"The strength of a Dou Zong... I never imagined it would be this terrifying!" Only moments ago, Queen Medusa had maintained the haughty posture of a queen, but now, in the span of a few short seconds, she was trembling like a frightened cat, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

At this moment, Yao Chen looked at his System Panel, where the results of his reward were displayed.

[Host has completed the mission: display the strength of a Dou Zong. Queen Medusa has reacted with shock, realizing just how terrifying the power of a Dou Zong expert truly is. Random reward triggered: obtained one Orange Treasure Chest. Would you like to draw?]

Seeing the prompt on the System Panel, he had obtained an orange-tier treasure chest.

He immediately opened his system inventory, looked at the Orange Treasure Chest, and made his choice at once, "System, open the chest immediately!"

[Host has opened one Orange Treasure Chest. Drawing rewards.]
