Directly Clarifying the Relationship, Extra Medicinal Pills

The High Priest made up his mind and immediately walked towards the room where Wang Chen was resting.

However, after walking halfway, they chose to turn back.

After all, they had only just parted ways, and to immediately go looking for Wang Chen showed that she was being far too eager.

Since Wang Chen wasn't leaving anytime soon, she decided to wait a little longer.

I'll go see Wang Chen again tomorrow, try to find out what he has to say, and then we can bring it up later.

Although she had already noticed that Wang Chen had a slight affection for Queen Medusa, sometimes being too hasty can easily backfire.

As someone who has lived for so many years, I understand this principle.

If it weren't for Queen Medusa's safety, she really wouldn't have wanted to get involved and would have preferred to let things take their course.

The next day.

The High Priest, carrying the Exotic Metal gathered from the surrounding Snake People Tribe, came to find Wang Chen.

"Young Master Wang, these are the last of our Snake People Tribe's Exotic Metal."

How much do you think it's worth?

The High Priest handed the Storage Ring to Wang Chen and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing the High Priest's words, Wang Chen immediately stood up and took the Storage Ring.

"Okay, okay!"

After a quick look at the Exotic Metal in the Storage Ring, Wang Chen exclaimed "Good!" three times.

This trip to the Snake People Tribe has been incredibly fruitful.

Wang Chen did a quick calculation and found that the Exotic Metal he had collected through exchanges were enough to refine about ten Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Of course, this is on the premise that other materials are also sufficient.

Regardless, Wang Chen was still very happy to have obtained so many of the most difficult-to-collect Exotic Metal.

He took the reward pill directly from his Storage Ring and handed it to the High Priest.

Because he was in a good mood, Wang Chen even took an extra Imperial Extreme Pill as a reward.

"High Priest, I hope the Snake People Tribe will continue to collect Exotic Metal."

"As long as the goods satisfy me, elixirs are definitely not a problem."

After handing the pill to the High Priest, Wang Chen still gave him a word of advice.

Although the Snake People Tribe has already emptied its coffers of Exotic Metal, it doesn't mean there won't be any left.

Although the Tagor Desert is relatively barren, there are still quite a few mineral deposits beneath the vast desert.

Otherwise, how could the Snake People Tribe have collected so many Exotic Metal?

However, Exotic Metal were previously of little use; the Snake People Tribe simply regarded Exotic Metal as special collectibles.

Under normal circumstances, there is no special effort to collect or excavate them.

Now that they have a regular major client like Wang Chen, the Snake People Tribe will definitely not let this channel pass them by.

After all, there are very few places in the Snake People Tribe where one can obtain valuable resources.

"I understand. I gave the order myself yesterday. The Snake People Tribe will be specifically tasked with collecting these Special Metal."

The High Priest naturally didn't want to give up on a major client like Wang Chen.

So he quickly offered an explanation.

"By the way, young hero Wang, what are your thoughts on Queen Medusa?"

After finishing the business, the High Priest shifted the topic to Queen Medusa.

Such a direct question left Wang Chen somewhat at a loss for how to respond.

This guy had only just developed a slight liking for Queen Medusa when her parents started asking him so directly.

Having never dealt with this situation before, Wang Chen was naturally at a loss.

Fortunately, he was quite capable and was able to barely suppress his awkward emotions.

Seeing Wang Chen's expression, the High Priest smiled inwardly.

Although Wang Chen didn't answer, his action clearly indicated that Wang Chen thoughts were similar to hers.

Having confirmed his thoughts, the High Priest did not ask any further questions.

After all, pushing too hard could very well backfire.

It's been largely confirmed now, so there's no need to rush.

Anyway, it will take some time before Queen Medusa can evolve using Heavenly Flames.

"Young Master Wang, take your time to consider it."

I'll go and take care of some internal matters within the tribe first.

The High Priest did not stay any longer and got up to take his leave, leaving Wang Chen some private space.

"High Priest, please wait."

Wang Chen also got up to see the High Priest off.

Although Wang Chen felt a little embarrassed earlier because of the High Priest's question.

However, Wang Chen will still abide by the basic principles of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

Moreover, he himself was also trying to seduce Queen Medusa, so naturally he would be even less likely to offend the High Priest, an elder.

After the High Priest left, Wang Chen began to recall the meaning behind the High Priest's words.

Wang Chen was at a loss before, but that doesn't mean he's a narcissist.

Although they were all very capable, they did not believe that the High Priest would want to match them up with Queen Medusa for no reason, after only meeting them twice.

Having lived in this world for so many years, Wang Chen understands its rules all too well.

There is never anything without a reason, and there is never any domineering aura that makes others bow down in submission.

If someone speaks highly of you the moment they meet you, they must want something from you.

"Could it be a medicinal pill?"

After much thought, Wang Chen could only think of elixirs.

After all, Wang Chen, as an Advanced Alchemist, is indeed very valuable in this area.

But even if it's incredibly valuable, there's no need to rush to promote one's own queen.

It has to be said that men who have never been in a serious relationship simply cannot guess what women are thinking.

Unable to come up with a very reasonable explanation, Wang Chen stopped thinking about it.

Regardless of the High Priest's intentions, at least for now, the other party does indeed want to bring him Queen Medusa together.

This is good news for Wang Chen.

As for taking a few more pills, that was of little importance to Wang Chen.

After all, he could refine high-grade pills at will, and he didn't really care whether he gave one more or one less.

Once I've won over Queen Medusa, the High Priest will be on my side.

Wang Chen is very generous to his own people.

Giving them a few more pills that they don't need themselves wouldn't be a problem.

Overall, everything is moving in a positive direction.

After those words flashed through Wang Chen's mind, he resumed his cultivation.

After all, he would wait for Queen Medusa to evolve using the Heavenly Flames before choosing to take her away to travel the outside world.

Indeed, Wang Chen had no idea that there was anything wrong with Queen Medusa's evolution.

After all, that's how the original plot evolved.

Under Wang Chen's ingrained way of thinking, he never considered that if there were no other way, Queen Medusa would not have chosen such a dangerous evolutionary path.

Neither the High Priest Queen Medusa mentioned it, and Wang Chen's habitual thinking hadn't considered it.

This has led to the fact that this dangerous evolutionary pattern has remained largely unaddressed.

The High Priest was in a very good mood after leaving Wang Chen's room.

Not only did she exchange some more high-grade pills with Wang Chen, but she also subtly probed Wang Chen's intentions.

This was of great help to her later clarifying the relationship.

So, while Wang Chen was cultivating, she went to see Queen Medusa again.

After all, the worst thing in a relationship is unrequited love.

It's unacceptable for a barber to be enthusiastic on one end only.

However, upon arriving outside Queen Medusa's room, they saw that Queen Medusa was adjusting her condition.

So I didn't push the door open and go in to disturb them.

As Queen Medusa's foster father, the High Priest had some understanding of Queen Medusa.

If she didn't have even the slightest bit of affection for him, she would never have arranged for Wang Chen to stay inside the palace.

So the High Priest went straight back to his room.

"Let's go and clarify our relationship with Young Master Wang tomorrow."

If this continues, Medusa may not be able to turn back.

Inside the room, the High Priest thought to himself.

Once you've clarified your relationship with Wang Chen, it will be much easier to ask Wang Chen for help exchanging medicinal herbs.

As for why not just say so now and ask Wang Chen to help exchange the medicinal herbs?

Isn't that obvious?

It seems that all the medicinal herbs come from the Snake People Tribe, and Wang Chen only needs to make an appearance; he doesn't suffer any losses at all.

But that's not actually the case.

This is similar to Wang Chen guaranteeing a loan in his previous life.

The money was borrowed by the borrower, and it was also repaid by the borrower.

It seems to have nothing to do with the guarantor.

But without a guarantor, who would lend money to someone whose background is unknown?

The same applies to this world.

Without the respect of an Advanced Alchemist, why would anyone exchange the ingredients for the Sect-Breaking Pill with you?

To put it bluntly, the successful exchange was entirely due to the Alchemist's connections.

This can really Alchemist's social connections.

In this world, the debt of gratitude owed to others is the hardest to repay.

That's why the High Priest tried every means to bring Wang Chen Queen Medusa together.

Once you're on our side, you naturally won't have to repay any favors.

The next day, the High Priest visited again.

Wang Chen was a little surprised by the High Priest's repeated visits.

After all, even if someone really wanted to bring themselves Queen Medusa together, there was no need to be in such a hurry.

However, this was a good thing for Wang Chen, so Wang Chen still warmly welcomed the High Priest.

"Young Master Wang, what do you think of my suggestion from yesterday?"

Because of the urgency, the High Priest didn't beat around the bush too much.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the conversation turned to the main topic.

Such a straightforward approach left Wang Chen somewhat overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Wang Chen had already experienced it yesterday, so he was a little better prepared today.

"The High Priest's suggestion is certainly good."

As the saying goes, "A fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections."

"Queen Medusa's appearance and strength were both outstanding."

To say that I have no thoughts at all would be a joke.

Wang Chen calmly and methodically expressed his thoughts one by one.

"However, it's best not to rush into things like dating."

If Queen Medusa has such thoughts, I certainly wouldn't mind spending some time with her."

Wang Chen stated his thoughts directly.

"Sigh~~"

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the High Priest also sighed.

Actually, I don't want to be too hasty.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, I'd prefer you Queen Medusa to let things take their natural course.

But the situation is urgent now. If we don't get your help soon, Medusa might..."

The High Priest paused for a moment at this point.

"What could it be?"

Wang Chen, being a relatively unprofessional straight man, also chimed in.

Of course, the main reason was that the High Priest's behavior was too obvious.

Stopping in a place like this is just a way of hoping Wang Chen will strike up a conversation.

As a model young man who respects the elderly and cares for the young, Wang Chen was willing to cooperate.

"There might not be a future."

The High Priest, true to form, made a startling statement, directly highlighting the gravity of the problem.

"What?!"

Wang Chen was startled by the High Priest's words.

"It seems that in the original story, Queen Medusa didn't encounter any major threats."

Wang Chen quickly went through it in his mind.

No evidence was found that Queen Medusa faced a life-or-death crisis.

Seeing Wang Chen's slightly confused look, the High Priest spoke up to explain.

"You should know why Queen Medusa borrowed your Heavenly Flames, right?"

Upon hearing the High Priest's words, Wang Chen was stunned.

"That's right! The Heavenly Flames is Queen Medusa's greatest crisis."

Although it was successful in the original story, for someone like the High Priest who didn't know what would happen next, evolving the Heavenly Flames was a gamble with his life.

The chances of success are extremely low.

Moreover, success in the original story doesn't necessarily mean success will be possible now.

The High Priest's words immediately shattered Wang Chen's usual way of thinking, and he immediately thought of the Queen Medusa had experienced.

In the original story, he was almost burned to ashes by the Heavenly Flames.

If even the slightest mishap were to occur, Queen Medusa might truly become a thing of the past.

Thinking about this, Wang Chen was also a little conflicted.

Although he hadn't spent much time with Queen Medusa, as a time traveler, Wang Chen knew that Queen Medusa was relatively stubborn.

Furthermore, without the evolution of the Heavenly Flames, would Queen Medusa even have been able to develop her cultivation?

In this world, what people always pursue is strength.

The Snake People Tribe, in particular, who live in the Tagor Desert, are even more focused on strengthening themselves.

Wang Chen didn't think he could convince Queen Medusa not to evolve using Heavenly Flames.

After spending the past few days together, Wang Chen felt that the chances of persuading Queen Medusa were even lower.

But now that he knows the dangers of the other party's evolution method, Wang Chen can't convince himself to do nothing.

"I refuse to believe there aren't other ways to evolve bloodlines in this world!"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Chen decided to go and stop Queen Medusa.

After all, this method is far too dangerous.

Previously, he hadn't thought much about it due to habit, but now that he knows, Wang Chen naturally can't just sit idly by.

After all, there was still a slightly ambiguous feeling between him Queen Medusa.

"Actually, the reason I came here is to ask Young Master Wang for a favor."

Because of the harsh living environment, my Snake People Tribe has not been able to collect all the medicinal materials needed for a complete set of Sect-Breaking Pill.

But no matter what, our Snake People Tribe has existed for so many years, and we have accumulated some things."

"I hope that Young Master Wang can step in and help us exchange for the ingredients for a Sect-Breaking Pill."

Once the Snake-People have the Sect-Breaking Pill, Medusa naturally won't choose such an extremely risky method.

Upon hearing the High Priest's words, Wang Chen's mind was filled with Spiritual Spark.

"That's right! Bloodline and strength complement each other."

"As long as one's strength is sufficient, one's bloodline will naturally be enhanced accordingly."

"Just like Zi Yan in the original story, her own bloodline is the purest Dragon Emperor Bloodline, which is why she was able to grow into the Dragon Emperor later on."

However, in other words, if Zi Yan can cultivate to the Dou Sheng level, her bloodline will also increase due to the increase in her strength.

"The current Queen Medusa is in the same situation; as long as her strength increases, her bloodline will naturally be enhanced."

If that's the case, then Queen Medusa naturally wouldn't need to choose that extremely risky method of evolving with Heavenly Flames.

In an instant, Wang Chen figured out how to dissuade Queen Medusa.

He does not have a direct method to evolve his bloodline.

However, Wang Chen has many ways to increase his strength.

Leaving aside love, Wang Chen is capable of refining various elixirs to enhance his strength or physique.

Wang Chen is willing to help someone he likes, who also likes him.

Anyway, it won't be long before they become one of us.

Wang Chen has always been quite generous to his own people.

"Of course, we won't let you suffer any losses."

After you've obtained the ingredients for the Sect-Breaking Pill, you can freely choose any of the remaining ingredients from the Snake People Tribe that you like.

Seeing Wang Chen freeze in surprise, the High Priest assumed Wang Chen was reluctant and quickly spoke up.

She didn't have any complaints about Wang Chen.

After all, it's normal to refuse in this kind of situation.

Even if the relationship between the two parties were completely established, it would be normal for them not to want to help.

After all, this is no small matter; it requires a lot of favors.

There is no need to exchange medicinal herbs.

Upon hearing the High Priest's words, Wang Chen realized that the other party had misunderstood, so he quickly offered an explanation.

"I still have some Sect-Breaking Pill left over."

"If it's just for Sect-Breaking Pill, then there's no need to go to such lengths."

"Real!"

The High Priest was shocked upon hearing Wang Chen's words.

He stood up abruptly from the chair, grabbed Wang Chen with both hands, and asked.

"That's natural."

Wang Chen could understand why the High Priest was so agitated.

Although he possessed a large quantity of high-grade pills, he acted as if they were worthless.

But that's not the case.

This is only because Wang Chen has Golden Finger system, plus his Yao Tian is slightly better.

Only then can one possess a large quantity of high-grade elixirs.

For ordinary people, high-grade elixirs are rare treasures that are hard to come by and impossible to obtain.

Otherwise, Alchemist wouldn't hold such a prestigious position in this world.
