Capturing an Alchemist
"There will be plenty of benefits in the future?" Xiao Yan was taken aback by what he was told.
What a boastful tone!
However, to Xiao Yan's surprise, Medusa didn't seem to intend to make a move. It was as if she wanted to recruit him into the Snake-People Tribe, which seemed somewhat inconsistent with Medusa's personality.
Xiao Yan chuckled, "As expected of Medusa, the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, you are quite clever. You knew the Heavenly Flames was right here, and your rash attempt to seize it from me would surely unleash Heavenly Flames power, making it difficult to obtain."
Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan: "Don't get any ideas. It's just the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Even if it were a stronger Heavenly Flames, it wouldn't be difficult for me to obtain it. If you're in such a hurry to die, I don't mind granting your wish."
Having failed to find out the truth, Xiao Yan didn't say anything more and quietly watched the stubborn Medusa.
Medusa didn't know much about the Green Lotus Core Flame, otherwise she wouldn't have left behind an Green Lotus Seat and many Earthfire Lotus Seeds during the simulation.
Now, the Green Lotus Core Flame has undergone a growth cycle of over two thousand years, and its power has almost doubled. Even if Medusa used the secret technique of the Snake-People Tribe to transform into the Purple Nether Flame Snake, it would be impossible for her to forcibly take away the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Medusa naturally wouldn't tell Xiao Yan the truth. Having fought for many years, although her perception wasn't as strong as Alchemist's, she could easily judge the terrifying level of the Green Lotus Core Flame, which she couldn't easily subdue.
However, Medusa was not about to let a lone, skilled Alchemist slip by.
Although Alchemist is a rare profession, quite a few Alchemist have died in the process of searching for Heavenly Flames.
As long as he can be kept firmly within the Snake-People Tribe and the information is prevented from leaking out, this Alchemist will belong to the Snake-People Tribe, making it appear as if he died unexpectedly.
Medusa's busy schedule in recent years has been aimed at achieving evolution through the use of Heavenly Flames, thus breaking through her own limits.
However, as the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa did not forget to make arrangements for her after evolution.
Although she has successfully evolved, and her strength and lifespan will be greatly extended, she will ultimately need to pass on the position of Queen of the Snake-People Tribe.
The Snake-People Tribe place great importance on the offspring of their queen, often using special elixirs to nurture them from the fetal stage, in order to make the next generation of queens even more powerful.
Medusa was able to easily break through to the peak of the Peak Dou Huang level by taking a pill refined using a mid-level secret technique, and she has the potential to break through to become Dou Zong in the future.
However, the time required to break through to become Dou Zong powerhouse through normal cultivation is far beyond what the current Snake-People Tribe can afford to wait for.
Instead of scrambling to learn at the last minute, it's better to start training an Alchemist now.
Medusa saw that this person was good-looking and dared to come here alone to search for the Heavenly Flames, so she came up with the idea of bringing him and the Heavenly Flames back to the Snake-People Tribe.
Medusa didn't pay much attention to the extent of his strength.
In the region surrounding the Tagor Desert, the level of cultivation achievement is closely related to a person's age; those with high strength are often extremely old.
For a mere youth to cultivate to the level of Dou Wang is already an extremely rare genius.
Moreover, it wasn't that Medusa didn't want to see it, but rather that the temperature in this cyan world was extremely high, which significantly compressed her sensory range.
Unless you get close and experience it carefully, it's difficult to discern the opponent's level of Dou Qi.
After standing before the Green Lotus Core Flame for a long time, Medusa made a decision.
Medusa knew that directly trying to capture the Green Lotus Core Flame would be like inviting disaster, so she decided to start evolving in this Magma World ahead of time.
Medusa wasn't entirely confident about evolution to begin with, let alone begin evolving in this Magma World.
Even if she were to successfully evolve, she would inevitably become weak and frail, falling into a state of absolute weakness, ultimately dying tragically in the Magma World, rendering all her previous efforts futile.
Therefore, Medusa decided to break the vines and take away the lotus seat on them, which would naturally take away the Green Lotus Core Flame as well.
Thinking of this, Medusa's hands shone with a bright red light, and she suddenly tore at the slender vines beneath the Green Lotus Seat.
With a hissing sound, Medusa's pale purple eyes narrowed sharply. The vines that looked like they could be torn apart at will were not only much tougher than she had imagined, but also possessed a terrifying devouring power.
In an instant, a significant portion of Medusa's already limited Dou Qi was devoured.
If she were alone, Medusa would have thought of another way, but now that there was a human beside her, she felt a little embarrassed.
"You little vines think you can stump me?!" Medusa shouted coldly, immediately increasing the force of her blows.
However, the vines were incredibly tough. No matter how Medusa tore at them, she couldn't break a single one. Instead, she absorbed even more of the Dou Qi.
Fortunately, she was the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, with a strong physique, and a Peak Dou Huang level expert. Even though she didn't have much Dou Qi left, she was still far superior to ordinary Dou Shi.
Just as Medusa was about to use the secret technique of the Snake-People Tribe to transform into the magical beast Purple Nether Flame Snake, and use the powerful body of the magical beast to forcibly take away the Green Lotus Core Flame.
A streak of light suddenly flashed out from the azure world, slicing through the vines and easily splitting the vines that Medusa could not tear in two.
Seeing the Jade Knife sever the vines, Medusa was shocked and fell backward, crashing solidly into a warm embrace.
Looking up at the young man's ambiguous smile, Medusa was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that the place in the young man's arms seemed to be a different place from the blue world, as it was not hot at all.
Medusa knew that even in her prime, she couldn't perfectly replicate this ability to insulate against high temperatures.
"So it turns out I, Xiao Yan, was mistaken. The Snake-People Tribe Queen is just a brute who uses brute force." Xiao Yan grasped a Medusa's jade hand and put the fingers, which were burned by the heat of the vines, into his mouth.
Medusa opened her mouth, but soon felt a tingling and itchy sensation in her fingers. Then, a cool current flowed in, and the pain in her fingers disappeared.
Xiao Yan fused with numerous Green Lotus Core Flame and consumed countless Earthfire Lotus Seeds, resulting in an extremely high affinity for Green Lotus Core Flame. Combined with the effects of the Medicine Spirit Sacred Body, healing Medusa's injuries was undoubtedly a piece of cake.
After healing Medusa's one hand, Xiao Yan began treating her other hand.
However, Xiao Yan didn't let Medusa be idle.
