Gu He's arrival, Medusa's temptation!

"Finally got it..."

Lin Chen held the crystal lotus platform in his hands, a faint smile appearing on his lips, before turning to look at "Xiao Yan" beside him.

His gaze was fixed intently on the blue flame, his eyes filled with rapture and fascination.

Immediately, he transmitted his voice, "Senior, the item has been obtained."

"Shall I give it to you now, or wait until we leave this Tagor Desert?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "For now, please let my young friend keep it safe. This is the first time my disciple has seen an unclaimed Heavenly Flames, and he was a little out of line just now. Please forgive him."

"It's alright. This is my first time seeing Heavenly Flames, so my reaction won't be much better than Brother Xiao Yan's."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, then looked into the distance.

On the opposite side, Hua She'er helped Queen Medusa land on the Holy City of the Snake-People Tribe.

At this moment, countless Snake-People Tribe guards stood guard on their side, surrounding them in circles, their spears raised, watching them warily.

Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the fire. We are deeply grateful."

"I have another business opportunity here. I wonder if Your Majesty would be interested?"

"If you're interested, we can certainly make a deal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy City fell silent. Countless Snake-People Tribe guards looked at Lin Chen with solemn expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The leader, Hua She'er, stood protectively in front of Medusa, who was meditating, holding a spear and saying with an unfriendly expression, "Humans, we don't need your hypocritical good deeds. You've already obtained the Heavenly Flames, so leave at once!"

"You are not welcome in our tribe!"

"Yes, Commander Hua She'er is right, we do not welcome you!"

"Get out of here, you damned humans!"

"My lord, these Snake-People are too presumptuous, they've made me..."

At this moment, Hai Bodong, who was behind Lin Chen, straightened his expression, stepped forward, looked at the Snake-People with a resentful tone, clasped his hands, and was about to volunteer to take action.

"No need for that, Lao Hai."

"Harmony brings wealth, right? Qing Lin, summon Little Red."

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head. He was in a good mood after obtaining the Green Lotus Core Flame and didn't want to bother with these insignificant people for the time being. He just wanted to get down to business as soon as possible.

At this moment, Qing Lin, who had been following behind Lin Chen, finally had a chance to prove herself.

She cautiously walked to Lin Chen's side, touched the small crimson snake on her wrist, and whispered, "Little Red, Brother Lin Chen is calling you. Quickly turn back to your original form."

Upon hearing this, the little crimson snake's pupils flashed with excitement, and its entire body erupted with a visible fiery red light. Its body, which was originally only a few inches long, instantly swelled up and transformed into a huge Two-Headed Flood Dragon over ten feet long.

The dragon's eyes rose vertically, its golden pupils filled with majesty. The dazzling sunlight shone on its majestic scales, giving them a faint golden glow, making it appear even more awe-inspiring and extraordinary.

"Roar!"

With a furious roar, the dragon's powerful roar spread out, and the pressure of its dragon bloodline enveloped the city, causing the Snake-People to turn pale instantly, break out in a cold sweat, and shiver involuntarily.

At the same time, Queen Medusa, who was meditating and regulating her breathing, opened her eyes with slight surprise upon hearing the majestic dragon roar, raised her head, and looked at the fiery red Two-Headed Flood Dragon in the sky.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he said in disbelief, "Is this the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake that guarded the Green Lotus Core Flame back then?"

"How is this possible? It actually evolved its own bloodline?"

It's no wonder she was so surprised. After all, the bloodline of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake is not as good as her Purple Nether Flame Snake bloodline. At most, it can only reach the threshold of a Sixth Tier magical beast.

Her Purple Nether Flame Snake bloodline originates from ancient times, and it is said that she is a descendant of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, making her extremely noble. This is the fundamental reason why she became the queen of the Snake-People Tribe.

Only those with the noblest Snake-People bloodline are qualified to become the queen of the Snake-People Tribe.

Now, seeing a beast that was once inferior to her actually evolve its own bloodline and surpass her, how could she not be horrified?

Lin Chen flicked his sleeve and landed on the enormous dragon's head, a faint smile on his face. Looking at Queen Medusa, whose red lips were slightly parted and whose face showed shock, he said, "Your Majesty should be familiar with this demonic beast, shouldn't you?"

"The business I'm discussing involves helping Your Majesty, like this Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, evolve your bloodline, break through your bloodline limitations, and reach the Dou Zong realm. What does Your Majesty think?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Medusa's pupils suddenly contracted, and her previously cold and aloof face showed a look of disbelief. She asked in surprise, "Really?"

"It's the real deal. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask Bai Ya and Lu Man behind me. Why do you think they would come on this trip with a human like me?"

Lin Chen smiled calmly, pointed to Bai Ya and Lu Man behind him, and his tone revealed a natural confidence.

Bai Ya and Lu Man exchanged a glance, then nodded at Medusa.

Bai Ya was still somewhat resentful, muttering under his breath, "This guy really got off easy. The master is so biased. Does he prefer this one? Then I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Man, who stood on Bai Ya black crown and said angrily, "Shut up, you idiot! You're not allowed to gossip about the master in private, nor are you allowed to act recklessly. The Mansion Lord hasn't given the order yet. If you dare to act on your own, the Mansion Lord will skin you alive!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ya lowered his head somewhat sullenly, shut his mouth, and said no more.

On the city wall, Queen Medusa listened to the conversation between Bai Ya and Lu Man, and looked at Lin Chen standing with his hands behind his back in the sky. A hint of excitement flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she bit her red lips lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, Lin Chen had just humiliated her like that; as the Queen Medusa, didn't she have any pride?

Originally, they planned to wait until all the powerful members of the eight Snake-People Tribe gathered before pursuing and killing Lin Chen, taking revenge and washing away their shame.

But now Lin Chen has actually mastered a mysterious method that can help snake-type magical beasts evolve their bloodlines. That Fire Spirit Snake's bloodline level is not even as high as his own, yet it can evolve its bloodline, so why can't he?

But if I agree to this deal, what will become of my authority?

Medusa's long, narrow, pale purple eyes narrowed instantly. She took a deep breath, pursed her red lips, and made her decision in a flash, saying, "Very well, since Master possesses such abilities, I..."

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from high in the distance.

In an instant, a black dot shot towards us from afar, transforming into a massive azure bird. From the bird, four figures with distinct auras leaped out.

The leader, wearing a six-wave- Alchemist badge on his chest, said in a somewhat solemn tone, "Your Majesty, I also possess elixirs that can help you break through your cultivation level. I urge Your Majesty to give us a fair chance to compete and not to easily believe the words of outsiders!"

Having said that, the middle-aged man who was leading the group turned to look at Lin Chen, his gaze burning as he stared at the Green Lotus Core Flame in Lin Chen's hand. He couldn't help but say, "Sir, this Heavenly Flames..."

"Gu He, are you trying to steal my business?"

Lin Chen's face was filled with rage, his eyes fixed on the Sixth-Grade Alchemist who had suddenly appeared before him, and he spoke in a resentful tone.

At the Jia Nan Academy, he was always the one stealing other people's business; when did it become someone else's turn to steal his business?

How dare a mere guest elder of the Misty Cloud Sect in the Jia Ma Empire oppose me? He's already courting death!
