Leaving

"What? It's been that long!" Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, the Great Elder couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Realizing his loss of composure, the Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe quickly calmed himself down.

The Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe asked with a bitter expression, "Then, Master, do you have a way to deal with the other soul?"

"No, I don't have any here. My teacher didn't mention this situation in his Eighth-Rank Alchemist notes either. I guess I'll have to ask my teacher." Lin Qing shook his head.

There are solutions, of course. One is to let her give birth to a child and make the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python the child's companion spirit beast. Another is to extract one of the souls, but it must be Heaven Realm Soul, otherwise it will damage the soul. The last option is to accept a body with two souls.

These are things that can only be told to Medusa, leaving the choice to her.

After explaining the situation to the Snake-People Tribe, Lin Qing revealed his purpose.

"Everyone, since we've been with the Snake-People Tribe for a while now, Medusa Snake-People Tribe going to work for me for four years, so I plan to take her with me and see if I can resolve her situation! Also, my master knows of a place where many Nine-Colored Sky-Devouring Python are buried, so we can let her try there. Perhaps she can obtain the Nine-Colored Sky-Devouring Python's inheritance!"

The Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe glanced at Lin Qing, whose expression seemed genuine and sincere, then looked at the four people beside him, and sighed:

"Alright then! I hope that after Her Majesty the Queen recovers, she can return to her clan. Her Majesty's successful evolution requires the Medusa Baptism. Only in this way can she engage in sexual intercourse. Engaging in sexual intercourse without the Baptism will affect Her Majesty's future cultivation. On the other hand, the Baptism will benefit her cultivation!"

After saying everything he needed to say, the Great Elder bowed to Lin Qing.

She also wanted to keep the Queen. With proper training, the Seven-Colored Devouring Heaven could nurture her into a Dou Zun expert. At that time, it would no longer be a dream for their Snake-People Tribe to leave the desert. However, they had no choice but to let the Queen take her away, since the other party had promised to resolve the matter for her.

Firstly, Lin Qing cannot be offended. Regardless of whether what he said is true or whether he has other ideas about the Queen, the Snake-People Tribe cannot afford to offend him, his master, or the people around him.

Only after she advanced to the Dou Zong did she realize how vast the gap was between Dou Zong and Dou Emperor, not to mention the suspected Dou Sheng behind Lin Qing.

Secondly, the Queen had indeed promised, and the Snake-People Tribe hadn't objected at the time. If it were an ordinary person, breaking the promise would be understandable. However, faced with an Alchemist with immense influence, capable of refining so many high-level Medicinal Pill in a single month, she had no choice but to agree. Now, she could only hope that the other party would keep their promise.

However, judging from the boy's words and actions, as well as his treatment of those around him, he should be a person who keeps his promises. The Queen is not at a disadvantage by following him. At only 12 years old, he is already Dou Wang expert and a Sixth-Grade Alchemist. In fact, the Snake-People Tribe are climbing the social ladder.

It must be said that this is the tragedy of small tribes: they cannot protect their own people, cannot determine their own destiny, and have to rely on their king to sacrifice himself for development.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to the Snake-People Tribe -Snake-People Tribe with her in about three years. I'll help you find a suitable place to live then."

Lin Qing agreed.

Now that we've decided to subdue Medusa, we need to eliminate her worries. Otherwise, what if she goes on strike later?

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't listen; he now has a new option.

He used to be waiting for her to evolve, thinking that once she successfully evolved, he would have an extra Dou Sheng- level fighter, and he wanted to increase her favorability.

Now that she has successfully evolved, things went wrong because of his help, so she is no longer the only option, and naturally he won't care as much as before.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Medusa is easy to talk to and obedient; otherwise, he would have no choice but to seal her soul. He prefers a blank sheet of paper to a finished painting.

The next morning, seeing off the Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe and others, Lin Qing and his companions bid farewell to the Snake-People Tribe and transformed into five streams of light, flying out of the Snake-People Tribe.

"Great Elder, are we really just going to let them take Her Majesty the Queen away like this?" Mobas, one of the eight leaders who rushed back to the Holy City, said with some reluctance.

"What else can we do? Two Dou Zong experts, two Dou Huang expert, and Master Lin —who knows if he has any tricks up his sleeve? Besides, he has a solid argument. We can only hope that he is a man of his word." The Great Elder of the Snake-People Tribe sighed with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

A day later, several streaks of light flashed across the sky, and soon the group landed on a sand dune. Lin Qing took out a map and confirmed the direction.

A faint fragrance wafted into her nose, and Lin Qi leaned closer. "Brother, where do we go next?"

"First, go to Desert City. Jia Nan Academy has an enrollment point there this time. Then, help Qing Lin unlock the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and then help Xiao Yi Xian break through to the Dou Ling. After that, you'll enter Jia Nan Academy Pocket World. Once you're at the Jia Nan Academy, I'll take you to the Black-Corner Region to fish and hunt."

He had Lin Qi and the Lion seal the snakes they caught and imprison them in the Pocket World; three were of the second tier and three were of the third tier.

He also kept some of the Medicinal Herb that Xiao Yi Xian needed to make the Earth-Center Body-Tempering Fluid.

He originally wanted Hai Bodong Medusa to lead Lin Qi and the others to establish a force in the Black-Corner Region, but Hai Bodong was scared away, and Medusa's plan backfired, causing her to fall into a deep sleep that would take some time to wake up.

Plans can't keep up with changes, it seems I can only go to the academy first, and if that doesn't work, I can control a few forces with Dou Zong members in the Black-Corner Region and have them work for him.

"Jia Nan Academy? Black-Corner Region?"

"Yes, Jia Nan Academy is a school that can help Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin grow faster. Black-Corner Region, on the other hand, is a chaotic place that has been flooded with things from Central Plains. There might be some Tattered Map and resources that I need to collect there."

He didn't mention the Little Dragon Maiden, the underground Lizardmen, or the Dou Di Cave Abode. It wasn't that he wanted to hide it; they would find out eventually anyway, so he might as well leave some suspense.

Another day, the group quietly entered the Desert City. Lin Qing booked several rooms at an inn in the city. After leaving Lion behind, he led Lin Qi and the others back to the Pocket World.

"Qing Lin!"

After the four returned to the Pocket World, Lin Qing immediately called out to Qing Lin.

"Brother Lin Qing!"

The little girl, with a slight smile, approached Lin Qing and called out softly.

It's clear that Qing Lin is doing better than before, because her chin is a little rounder and not as thin as it used to be, and she's always smiling; she seems more cheerful.

"Come with me, I'll help you unlock the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

Lin Qing said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin followed Lin Qing out of the Villa. After walking for a while, the two arrived at the place in the Pocket World where Serpentine Magical Beast were imprisoned.
