Distributing the Pills!

Inside the great hall.

Chen Xuan's face lit up with delight. A Sixth-Grade Alchemist truly lived up to his title.

He had never expected so many pills, with even the lowest being fourth- or fifth-grade. Supporting pills made up the largest share, capable of helping them contend with opponents of higher ranks.

"I truly envy you humans, to have such a powerful profession as alchemists."

At the same time, Queen Medusa's voice reached Chen Xuan's mind.

With so many high-grade pills before her eyes, Queen Medusa would have been lying if she said she was not excited.

Previously, to obtain cultivation resources for the Snake-People Tribe, Queen Medusa had been forced to purchase them from human cultivators in the Jia Ma Empire, at several times the normal price.

Now, the cultivation resources possessed by Pill King Gu He alone nearly equaled the resources of her entire Snake-People Tribe.

Moreover, the pills Pill King Gu He refined as an alchemist could greatly accelerate human cultivators' breakthroughs and strengthen them.

Without an alchemist, however, the Snake-People Tribe could not buy such high-grade pills even if they wanted to. They could only rely on their own strength to break through, and those breakthroughs often came with considerable danger.

"Your Majesty has actually grown sentimental?" Chen Xuan could not help laughing inwardly at her words and silently replied, "That makes sense. I've heard people grow more sentimental about things as they age. You must be several hundred years old already, Your Majesty?!"

In an instant.

Chen Xuan suddenly felt a sinister chill, as though the space around him had dropped several degrees.

"Is that so? Who told you I was several hundred years old?" Queen Medusa's voice was gentle, yet it filled Chen Xuan with boundless cold.

Sure enough, a woman's age was taboo, even for a Snake-Person!

"Haha! You must have misheard me, Your Majesty!" Chen Xuan hastily laughed it off. "What I really meant was that the Snake-People Tribe now has an alchemist too, so things will surely keep getting better."

"Hmph!"

Only after giving a haughty snort did Queen Medusa settle down.

Indeed, everything had begun changing for the better after Chen Xuan appeared in the Snake-People Tribe. At some point, Queen Medusa had even begun trusting him unconditionally.

Meanwhile, Gu He and the many Snake-People were staring at one another in bewilderment. They had noticed that Her Majesty seemed highly abnormal, with enormous fluctuations in her aura.

"Ahem!" Coming back to his senses, Chen Xuan noticed their reactions as well. He coughed twice before adopting a solemn expression. "Master Gu He, you've been most considerate. I see you're also close to breaking through to Dou Emperor. Keep this Emperor-Breaking Pill and one Emperor's Extreme Pill for yourself."

"As for the remaining pills, they are indeed extremely important to our Snake-People Tribe, so I won't stand on ceremony, Master Gu He."

With a slight movement of his hand, a surge of black Dou Qi swept out, drawing the many pills straight into his Storage Ring.

"Keep these Pill Refining Insights, Master Gu He. Although they currently contain only insights up to the seventh grade, that is enough for you as you are now. As long as you serve the Snake-People Tribe wholeheartedly, I will certainly not disappoint you."

Looking at the Pill Refining Insights in Gu He's hands, Chen Xuan waved slightly as he spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu He's expression became deeply respectful.

Although they contained only seventh-grade pill-refining insights for now, they were already exceptionally precious to him. They could greatly hasten his advancement to a seventh-grade alchemist.

"Mm!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly at Gu He, then swept his gaze over everyone present.

Among the four Snake-People Tribe elders, the strongest, Elder Snake Ji, had already reached Six-Star Dou Emperor. The remaining elders were all early-stage Dou Emperors at one or two stars.

Whoosh!

With a movement of his hand, Chen Xuan took out four Emperor's Extreme Pills. These pills could raise a Dou Huang expert's strength by one star, or even two, making them extremely important to the Four Elders.

"Four Elders, one Emperor's Extreme Pill each."

Chen Xuan spoke calmly as he looked at the Four Elders.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four Snake-People Tribe elders were all immensely excited as they immediately put away their Emperor's Extreme Pills.

These were peak sixth-grade pills that could directly raise their strength by one star. How could they not be excited?

Chen Xuan then turned his gaze toward the Snake-People Tribe's Eight Leaders: Yue Mei, Yin Shi, Mo Bass, Yan Ci, Kui Xing, Nan She, Flower Snake King, and Hei Du.

All Eight Leaders possessed Dou Wang strength, and almost every one of them had reached beyond Three-Star Dou Wang.

"Eight Dou Ling Pills. One each!"

Without further words, Chen Xuan waved his hand and took out the eight Dou Ling Pills refined by the Jia Ma Imperial Family.

These eight Dou Ling Pills had been refined specifically for the Eight Leaders in the first place.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Naturally, the Eight Leaders beamed with delight.

A single Dou Ling Pill could directly raise their strength by one star.

Watching this, Gu He nodded slightly from the side. With these twelve pills distributed, the strength of the entire Snake-People Tribe would increase tremendously.

For Gu He, who had already joined the Snake-People Tribe, this was naturally a good thing. The stronger the tribe became, the safer he would be!

Yet Chen Xuan now found himself in something of a dilemma.

What should I do with this Transformation Pill?! Chen Xuan pondered inwardly. Taking it himself would be a waste, since he was not far from breaking through to Dou Zong.

Once he broke through to Dou Zong, he could shed his Snake-Person form outright!

"Give this Transformation Pill to Yue Mei!"

Suddenly, Queen Medusa's voice rang out again. "Yue Mei is the strongest of the leaders, and her aptitude is considerably greater than even that of the elders. Giving it to her would be best."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly at her words.

Yue Mei did indeed possess both impressive strength and aptitude. He remembered that in the original story, she had managed to escape even when Yun Yun and Gu He attacked her together. That was not something just anyone could do.

At the same time, Chen Xuan could not help giving Yue Mei a few extra looks. Commander Yue Mei was quite beautiful, with long, deep-blue hair and exquisite features. The charm and allure she unconsciously exuded would be almost impossible for an ordinary young man to resist.

If I give her the Transformation Pill, she'll definitely become a stunning beauty!

That settles it!

"Mm, you're right, Your Majesty." Chen Xuan wholeheartedly agreed.

Whoosh!

His hand moved slightly again, and a pill radiating golden energy appeared in midair. Its fragrance washed over them, and in an instant, every elder and leader present felt a stirring in their bloodlines, as though they desperately craved this pill.

The Transformation Pill!

A seventh-grade pill capable of allowing magical beasts below Dou Zong to take human form outright.

"Yue Mei, take this Transformation Pill!"

Looking at Commander Yue Mei, Chen Xuan spoke directly.

What?!!

Everyone present jolted at these words. Even Gu He found it unbelievable. This was a seventh-grade Transformation Pill, after all.

Although Queen Medusa was powerful, she had yet to break through to Dou Zong. This pill could allow her to transform immediately, yet she had chosen to give it to someone else.

Unless...

She was extremely confident that she could break through to Dou Zong.

Gu He looked at Queen Medusa in shock as the thought arose within him.

"Elders, there is no need to be surprised. I will soon break through to Dou Zong, so this Transformation Pill would be wasted on me." Seeing everyone's shock, Chen Xuan slowly explained, "Among the Snake-People Tribe's leaders, Commander Yue Mei possesses the greatest talent. Therefore, I have decided to give this Transformation Pill to her. Does anyone object?!"

At his words, the leaders all shook their heads vigorously. The Snake-People Tribe was exceptionally united; no matter who received the Transformation Pill, none of them would feel jealous.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled faintly. When it came to unity, the Snake-People Tribe was far better than humans.

"Commander Yue Mei, take the Transformation Pill now."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A trace of excitement appeared on Yue Mei's exquisite face. This was a Transformation Pill, not some ordinary pill.

Under everyone's gaze, Yue Mei swallowed the Transformation Pill.

A surging torrent of energy erupted straight from Yue Mei's body. Terrifying energy flooded every meridian within her, seemingly without end.

After an unknown amount of time, the boundless Dou Qi finally began to dissipate.

There in the great hall, Yue Mei appeared before everyone in a long blue dress, her jade-like feet bare and her figure enchantingly curvaceous.

She really does look good!

Chen Xuan could not help staring. The Snake-People Tribe had always produced beauties, and after taking human form, Yue Mei was only slightly inferior to Queen Medusa. Moreover, each had her own distinctive appeal.

Queen Medusa was a bewitching, haughty queen, while Yue Mei's seductive beauty was displayed to the fullest in her form.
