Practical Evolution

Holding Medusa's hand, Xiao Yan made her grasp the Jade Knife and guided her to cut towards the special vine that could grow the Green Lotus Core Flame.

As the Jade Knife gently sliced through the air, an unbelievable scene unfolded before Medusa.

The vines that she had struggled to break before snapped so easily!

Such a strange event made Medusa momentarily forget to leave Xiao Yan's embrace, watching as the eerie vines that could frantically devour Dou Qi snapped one by one.

When the last vine broke, Xiao Yan released Medusa's slender waist, turned to the side, and casually lifted the entire Green Lotus Seat.

After lightly weighing it twice, Xiao Yan pondered and said, "Strength alone is not enough; one also needs the right method."

"This blue lotus is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and the roots and vines that have formed it are also extraordinary. Not only will ordinary iron melt upon contact with it, but even to sever it, one must use a piece of pure jade."

No wonder... Medusa suddenly looked at the Jade Knife in her hand.

"Even if you know the trick, Alchemist still needs to execute it for it to be effective," Xiao Yan added.

Hearing this, Medusa looked up at Xiao Yan, her pale purple eyes narrowing slightly. "Since you know so much about the Green Lotus Core Flame, I can't let you off so easily."

In a flash of red light, Medusa snatched the Green Lotus Seat from Xiao Yan's hands.

Holding the Heavenly Flames firmly in her hand, Medusa was overjoyed. She had been searching for Heavenly Flames for many years, and today her wish had finally come true.

"Come with me." Patting Xiao Yan on the shoulder, Medusa turned around and swayed her slender waist, her purple snake tail swaying as she quickly left the blue world.

She wasn't worried at all that Xiao Yan would take the opportunity to escape. The temperature here was extremely high, and the surrounding area was filled with magma. Even Dou Emperor with wind attributes couldn't move very fast.

Xiao Yan chuckled and shook his head, silently following behind Medusa.

After a while, Xiao Yan and Medusa left the Magma World and appeared on the island in the middle of the lake beneath the Snake-People Tribe's Temple.

Looking at the pool of spring water emanating a chilling aura, even Medusa felt a pang of regret. She gazed at the Green Lotus Seat in her hand and thought to herself, "I never expected to obtain such a Heavenly Flames. What a waste of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring I prepared."

Her original plan was to risk serious injury to obtain a Heavenly Flames, then use a large amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring to seal Heavenly Flames away, giving her time to heal and adjust to her optimal state before starting the evolution process.

However, with the Green Lotus Seat now controlling the power of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring is useless.

"Tell me, how do you plan to Fused Heavenly Flame to increase the success rate?" Medusa asked, turning her gaze to Xiao Yan.

After saying that, Medusa added, "Don't tell me you plan to swallow it whole. This Green Lotus Core Flame is extremely violent; swallowing it rashly will only lead to your own self-immolation."

"Whatever I decide is what's best for me. If you try to use a ready-made method, it will only backfire. The physique of Snake-People is very different from that of humans," Xiao Yan said calmly.

Seeing Xiao Yan's nonchalant attitude, Medusa wasn't angry; instead, she was rather curious.

If an ordinary person knew they were coming to this Snake-People Tribe, even if they were weak, they would think of running away. But this person in front of them seemed to have never been afraid.

With a slight exertion of force, Medusa tossed the Green Lotus Seat she was holding directly to Xiao Yan: "You seem to know quite a bit?"

Catching the flying Green Lotus Seat, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, "The Snake-People Tribe's constitution is cold and yin; for them to Fused Heavenly Flame is tantamount to taking poison. I've read some ancient texts; the Snake-People Tribe's Medusa can evolve through Heavenly Flames, but the process is extremely dangerous, and the outcome is unknown."

After a pause, Xiao Yan said quite seriously, "Actually, if you want to achieve evolution, you don't necessarily have to use Heavenly Flames. There are many other ways."

Medusa believed the former part of the two statements to some extent. The Snake-People Tribe had existed for a long time, and it was not surprising that humans would record the secrets of Medusa's evolution.

However, she almost completely disbelieved the latter.

If there were any other methods, they should be in her hands.

Xiao Yan also thought about Medusa's evolution before coming up with some new evolution methods.

The simplest way is to eat Earthfire Lotus Seeds, and to eat them all at once.

Through the pure fire-attribute energy of the Earthfire Lotus Seeds, Medusa's entire body, including her meridians, flesh, and bones, was stimulated after she performed her secret technique, transforming into the Purple Nether Flame Snake.

Because it doesn't possess nearly inexhaustible energy like the Green Lotus Core Flame, this evolutionary process will be more gentle, avoiding excessive power and unnecessary losses.

However, this requires a thorough understanding of Medusa's physical condition and a precise control over the number of Earthfire Lotus Seeds.

To Xiao Yan's surprise, Medusa suddenly giggled after hearing this, swaying her serpentine waist as she pressed herself against him, her slender white fingers lightly lifting his chin.

"Afraid that I will fail to evolve, and unwilling to let me die? What an audacious and lecherous scoundrel!"

The tingling tone of her voice could almost make one's soul flutter.

Medusa then understood why Xiao Yan hadn't tried to escape, but instead had been behaving extremely obediently the whole way.

"So what?" Xiao Yan brushed Medusa's hand away and pulled her soft, boneless body into his arms. "Several empires around here know that Medusa. If not a single person is moved by her, wouldn't her reputation be undeserved?"

Medusa seemed taken aback by Xiao Yan's sudden outburst of domineering power, which was completely different from before. She didn't immediately resist, but stared at him with a hint of disbelief in her beautiful eyes.

She never imagined that someone would dare to treat her so rudely, given her status.

For a moment, Medusa felt a mix of amusement and exasperation; she had never been treated like this before.

But in less than a day, this person hugged her twice.

Moreover, this person was merely a young Dou Wang whose strength was far inferior to hers; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was incredibly audacious.

Medusa blushed slightly, gently pushed Xiao Yan away, and slowly turned around, saying, "Then pray that I successfully evolve, otherwise you won't have a good end in the heart of this Snake-People Tribe."

Xiao Yan had no choice but to help Medusa evolve according to the evolutionary method of the Snake-People Tribe.

Xiao Yan tapped his Storage Ring and took out the crimson Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron that Han Feng had obtained, along with some Ice Spirit Flame Grass and Dragonwhisker Icefire Fruit.

Xiao Yan threw all the medicinal herbs into the cauldron and immediately began to refine them diligently.
