Strange Evolution
After extracting the medicinal liquid from some herbs, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and the Earthfire Lotus Seeds inside the Green Lotus Seat shot out, flowing into the medicine cauldron in a continuous stream.
At the same time, Xiao Yan raised his hand towards the stone pool containing the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, drawing in a stream of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and pouring it into the medicine cauldron.
The two extreme attributes of fire and ice rushed into the medicine cauldron, but because the cauldron already contained medicinal liquids with extreme attributes, there was no violent collision.
Seeing Xiao Yan focused on refining medicine, Medusa's previously agitated heart calmed down.
The subsequent evolutionary process is something that not everyone can witness.
Since she brought Xiao Yan here, she had already made a decision in her heart.
Of course, all of this is contingent on her successfully evolving.
After a busy meal, a bluish-white pill floated from the medicine cauldron into Xiao Yan's palm.
Xiao Yan didn't look at it for long before tossing the object in his hand to Medusa.
Medusa caught the strange pill, examined it carefully, and showed no intention of taking it for the time being.
Xiao Yan put away the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron and explained, "That pill contains a vast amount of Earthfire Lotus Seeds energy. This energy can increase your affinity for the Green Lotus Core Flame. Normally, ordinary people can consume this directly, but Snake-People have a cold constitution and need some other materials to neutralize it."
After Xiao Yan's brief explanation and after examining the pill for a while, Medusa had determined its medicinal properties.
With a flick of her jade hand, Medusa tossed the Green Lotus Seat aside, releasing the Green Lotus Seat Green Lotus Core Flame within it.
After the small ball of blue flame was released, it swelled in the wind and soon transformed into a huge blue Fire Lotus with the size of a millstone.
Looking at the Azure Green Lotus Core Flame, which was constantly radiating high temperatures and was like an ancient behemoth unleashed from its cage, Medusa was not afraid. She just glanced at Xiao Yan and slowly removed the decorations from her body.
Before long, her fair, snow-white skin, tinged with pink, was exposed to the air.
Medusa swallowed the pill Xiao Yan had refined, then formed hand seals with her hands. Her exquisite and curvaceous body shimmered with purple light, and soon transformed into a massive purple python.
It was the secret technique of the Snake-People Tribe that allowed Medusa to transform into the Purple Nether Flame Snake.
Just then, the medicinal power contained in the pill had spread throughout the entire body of the Purple Nether Flame Snake, making it exude a chilling aura. Yet, there was a surge of fiery energy within its body, causing a burst of blue light to erupt from its purple scales.
After taking a deep breath, Medusa rushed straight towards the enlarged Green Lotus Core Flame.
Under Xiao Yan's watchful gaze, the enormous Purple Nether Flame Snake quickly rushed into the Green Lotus Core Flame.
In an instant, Medusa's shrill scream rang out, and the Green Lotus Core Flame grew larger once more, firmly enveloping the Purple Nether Flame Snake within it.
Hearing the screams, Xiao Yan could clearly see how the Purple Nether Flame Snake was frantically writhing its massive body in the Heavenly Flames.
Under the intense heat of the Heavenly Flames, the scales of the Purple Nether Flame Snake began to twist rapidly, and were eventually Heavenly Flames.
But just as it was about to fall off under the heat of the Heavenly Flames, strands of blue light flashed, and the jet-black scales seemed to regain their vitality.
Under the surge of blue light, the black on the scales gradually faded, but the new color revealed was no longer the previous purple, but a special rainbow.
This change didn't affect all the snake scales, but most of them; some scales couldn't withstand the high temperature of the Green Lotus Core Flame and were burned into nothingness.
Because these scales were burned off, extremely conspicuous blood-red marks appeared on the body of the Purple Nether Flame Snake.
Standing on the island, Xiao Yan, with his strength, could easily hear the sizzling sounds coming from the Heavenly Flames.
Under the intense heat of the Heavenly Flames, Medusa finally realized the immense benefits of the elixir she had taken.
The medicinal power of the Earthfire Lotus Seeds contained in the elixir protected her with a blue energy whenever she was about to suffer a fatal burning.
Moreover, the chill that spread across her body prevented the Heavenly Flames from reaching its full power.
Without the protection of these two special medicinal properties, Medusa did not believe she could remain conscious and continue in this state.
Medusa didn't know was that this was no longer an ordinary Green Lotus Core Flame that had been around for over a thousand years, but rather Green Lotus Core Flame that had been around for over two thousand years.
The power varies greatly depending on the year.
Under the burning of the Heavenly Flames, the Purple Nether Flame Snake that Medusa had transformed into began to shrink, and most of its scales turned into seven colors.
After a brief stalemate with no further changes, Medusa suddenly fell from the sky, remaining motionless as the Green Lotus Core Flame burned her.
Just then, the previously clear sky suddenly became much darker.
Clusters of dark clouds, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, slowly enveloped the sky.
With a deafening roar, a bolt of silver lightning struck down, directly hitting Medusa within the Heavenly Flames.
Xiao Yan flashed, casually waving his sleeve, easily dispelling the lightning that was powerful enough to shake the very fabric of space.
Just then, another silver light shone from the dark clouds, striking down with even greater speed and power.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and immediately used the Emperor Flame Divine Eyes. A blue light flashed, and a blue lotus flower appeared out of thin air in the distance, right in the focus of his vision.
The azure lotus slowly rotated, enveloping the silver lightning within it. After rotating once, it assimilated the lightning into the lotus.
The appearance of heavenly lightning finally put Xiao Yan's mind at ease.
Medusa has successfully evolved in reality!
We just don't know what the specific evolutionary outcome will be.
After the two bolts of lightning, the dark clouds appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast.
Once the sky returned to its azure hue, Xiao Yan appeared on the island and began to examine the giant snake's body, which had shrunk to more than ten times its original size.
It looked somewhat like the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, but it had no breath and was clearly a corpse.
Before Xiao Yan could examine it closely, a powerful aura surged out from within the corpse and stopped in front of Xiao Yan. It was a small snake that was flashing with seven-colored light.
Xiao Yan recognized it at a glance as the ancient magical beast Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python. However, what surprised him was that after the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python appeared, the lifeless corpse suddenly began to move.
The corpse trembled for a while, then, as if it had lost all strength, it lay quietly on the ground again.
For a moment, even Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled. Was it a final burst of energy before death? But the performance of this final burst of energy was really too poor.
Before Xiao Yan could figure it out, the Little Sky Swallowing Python's pale purple eyes lit up.
