Eager Medusa
According to the information provided by Lin Qing, the Snake-People Tribe has confirmed that the Chu Yun Empire and the Luo Yan Empire do indeed have Dou Zong experts, and the Mu Lan Empire also has combat power comparable to Dou Zong. The spies of the Jia Ma Empire also reported that some time ago, Jia Xing Tian suddenly emerged from seclusion and fought a great battle with Yun Shan, who had already broken through to Dou Zong, at the Yun Lan Peak, and the battle ended in a draw.
The Snake-People Tribe currently in a very bad situation, which makes her even more eager for evolution.
Without strength, one cannot protect one's people.
You broke through?
After a long silence, Medusa spoke up and asked.
Lin Qing was patting Lin Qi's head, his gaze turning to Medusa: "Hmm! You've broken through! Now I can refine all the Sixth-Grade Pill! If someone takes the Pill Lightning for me, I can even try refining Seventh-Grade."
Medusa stared at Lin Qing's face. She couldn't believe that the young man before her had broken through from Nine-Star Dou Spirit to Dou Wang after only three months of seclusion, and his alchemy skills had even improved. Was this what a true prodigy was? What was she then?
After a long silence, Medusa whispered:
"I am also preparing to evolve. You can go to the Snake-People Tribe's treasure trove and take a look. There you will find the Snake-People Tribe's savings accumulated over the years and the Medicinal Herb I have collected over this time. You can choose the Medicinal Herb that can be refined into Medicinal Pill and receive a reward."
Lin Qing nodded slightly. "I will go and see. I'll start refining the medicine tomorrow."
Upon hearing Lin Qing's answer, Medusa's eyes flashed with joy, and she then whispered:
"Then I'll have Hua She'er lead you there. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, she suddenly received a message, frowned slightly, and disappeared from the spot.
"Brother, Medusa has been coming to see you every few days for the past month. Why is she suddenly so concerned about you? Does she like you? Do you like her?"
Lin Qi, who was standing beside him, suddenly asked.
"She doesn't like me, and I don't like her. It's just a matter of mutual benefit. She needs to evolve and become stronger, and I need her assistance!"
Lin Qing shook his head slightly upon hearing this. He had been so gentle with Medusa before, even making some concessions, simply because he saw her potential after her evolution and wanted to take her under his command.
The two were merely collaborators; although he was the initiator, he was the one in charge.
However, it seems Medusa is starting to get anxious.
They returned to the palace together, but there was no one to greet them; Ling Qingzhu Lin Qi the Lion were cultivating.
Lin Qing casually found a room, took out Medication Cauldron, and sat cross-legged, while Lin Qi found a futon and sat in the corner of the room.
As usual, I refined some Medicinal Pellet for her, only to discover that this girl still had quite a few Medicinal Pellet stored up.
Lin Qing sighed and tapped Lin Qi's smooth forehead, saying, "Don't worry about eating too little, I can still afford to feed you!"
"Oh oh!"
Lin Qi, sitting on the futon, nodded upon hearing Lin Qing's words.
Then she carefully counted the Jade Bottle beside Jade Bottle, which contained various Medicinal Pellet. After counting the Medicinal Pellet, Lin Qi ran off happily.
Just as he was about to refine some Medicinal Pill that he could use regularly, Hua She'er walked in, swaying her alluring waist.
"Master Lin."
Hua She'er bowed respectfully to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing glanced at Hua She'er; her aura was much stronger than when he first met her. She had now broken through from the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Wang to the Nine-Star Dou Wang.
"Was it your queen who sent you to lead me to the treasure vault?"
However, thinking about the Medicinal Pill he had given her, Lin Qing guessed that Hua She'er must have been rewarded with a Dou Spirit Pill by Medusa.
"Her Queen and several elders of the clan wish to see you, so they sent me to invite you over for a talk."
Lin Qing glanced at Medusa's palace not far away, then at the smiling Hua She'er before him, and frowned slightly. He wondered what they wanted from him. Had the evolution been settled long ago, or did they need some kind of Medicinal Pill? He was the one who had brought it up himself.
Lin Qing asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Why didn't Medusa come in person?"
Upon hearing this, Hua She'er's smiling expression froze slightly.
"Lead the way!"
He also wanted to see what kind of trouble the elders of the Snake-People Tribe were up to.
"Master Lin, please follow me."
Hua She'er gave an awkward smile, said something, and then led the way ahead.
Following the Hua She'er along several quiet paths, they stopped in front of a bamboo house hidden deep in the bamboo forest after a while.
Lin Qing clearly sensed five powerful auras in the room. Four of them were at the Dou Emperor Peak, one of which belonged to Medusa. Although the other three were not as strong as Medusa, they were still much stronger than Jia Xing Tian, whom he had seen before. The last one had reached the level of One-Star Dou Ancestor, which was probably one of the elders who had successfully broken through to the next level by taking the Sect-Breaking Pill.
Hua She'er stopped in front of the bamboo house, a solemn look on her face. Just as she was about to knock on the door, an old voice came from inside.
"Come in!"
The door opened with a sound, and Hua She'er respectfully walked in. Lin Qing also moved quickly and followed closely behind, striding in.
Having reached the Great Perfection Spirit Realm, he was confident he could kill most Dou Emperor Dou Zong with a single blow, unless he was facing Dou Zun expert.
Upon entering the bamboo house, the door automatically closed, and a faint light suddenly rose up. Four aged figures appeared in Lin Qing's sight, while Queen Medusa sat quietly on a futon to the side.
Sensing Lin Qing's footsteps, an old woman in the center slowly opened her eyes. Her diamond-shaped pupils locked onto Lin Qing like a venomous snake, sending a chill down his spine.
As she opened her eyes, the other three old women also suddenly opened their eyes as well.
The old woman in the middle gave Lin Qing a somewhat ugly and sinister smile.
"Master Lin!"
After speaking, the old woman bowed to Lin Qing.
Seeing the other person's respectful attitude towards him, Lin Qing was also somewhat confused about what the other person meant.
The old woman then explained:
"To be honest, we should be the ones visiting you, but according to clan rules, the four of us cannot leave this bamboo forest unless it means the extermination of the entire clan. So we are extremely sorry about this!"
"The old woman is the Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe, and this is the Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder."
Following the Great Elder's gesture, the other three elders also respectfully bowed to Lin Qing.
Although the Snake-People Tribe are hostile to humans, Lin Qing is still incredibly powerful. He has four strong companions, is a student of an Eighth-Rank Alchemist and Dou Sheng Expert, and has given them so many Snake-People Tribe -Sixth-Grade Pill. He even lent Medusa his Heavenly Flames for evolution. He deserves their respect and treatment.
Even if he didn't have four powerful figures by his side, wasn't a student of Eighth-Rank Alchemist and Dou Sheng Expert, didn't give the Snake-People Tribe so many Medicinal Pills, and didn't borrow any Heavenly Flames, he would still be worthy of the Snake-People Tribe's goodwill.
After all, the Snake-People Tribe have always tried to befriend human Alchemist, because Snake-People Tribe Secret Technique of cultivating Medusa requires Alchemist to refine Medicinal Pill. If they don't befriend Alchemist, who will refine Medicinal Pill for them?
