In Dou Qi Continent, One Talent Trait a Day, Chapter 40

Pill King Gu He was not really anyone remarkable within the Snake People Tribe.

Meanwhile, Xu Qi had been waiting for Medusa to emerge.

And unknown to everyone else, someone was secretly hiding behind a massive boulder.

Xiao Yan!

Under Old Yao's cover, he was concealed so thoroughly that even Dou Huang experts would have difficulty detecting him, while he could clearly see the entire battlefield.

"Teacher, do you think Gu He and the others came looking for Medusa because they're after the Heavenly Flames too?" Xiao Yan whispered.

"Of course. If not for the Heavenly Flames, who would come to this godforsaken place?"

"But isn't Gu He already a Sixth-grade Alchemist? Shouldn't he have had Heavenly Flames long ago? Why is he still looking for them now?" Xiao Yan was deeply puzzled.

"Do you think Heavenly Flames are rotten cabbages on the street, there for the taking?" Old Yao mercilessly shot him down.

"Heavenly Flames are naturally born spiritual treasures. There are only twenty-three of them, and obtaining each one is extraordinarily difficult and arduous. It's not as though every high-level alchemist has Heavenly Flames."

"Oh." Xiao Yan drew out the word, showing that he had taken it in.

"Teacher, then how likely do you think Gu He and the others are to obtain the Heavenly Flames from the Snake People Tribe?" Xiao Yan asked again.

"It will be very difficult. Although Queen Medusa has yet to appear, if I'm not mistaken, she is currently in seclusion, using the Heavenly Flames to devour and evolve."

"Once she succeeds, the Heavenly Flames will be gone."

Xiao Yan panicked. "How can that be? Then wouldn't we have come all this way for nothing?"

"What are you panicking for? Just wait."

Just as Old Yao was consoling him,

the space above the city suddenly began to distort.

A graceful figure slowly materialized from the warped space. It was Queen Medusa!

She was simply too beautiful. Her bewitching, captivating appearance made all colors in heaven and earth seem dull the instant she appeared, causing countless people to catch their breath as their hearts trembled fiercely.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

On the city wall below, every member of the Snake People Tribe, including Yue Mei and the other two, hurriedly bowed in salute.

Gu He and the others immediately focused their minds, watching that beautiful yet dangerous, graceful figure.

Xu Qi saw her as well.

Queen Medusa—at first sight, she was truly breathtaking!

Her flawless face carried a trace of chilliness.

She wore a translucent purple gauze dress over her upper body, outlining her full breasts with irresistible allure.

Below was a wild purple tail that swayed casually and lightly, looking equally strange.

"Pill King Gu He... I heard you were looking for me?"

Queen Medusa's cold eyes shifted slightly as she glanced at Gu He.

Facing Queen Medusa's gaze, Gu He smiled faintly and said with refined composure,

"Indeed."

"I heard that Your Majesty has obtained a Heavenly Flame. I came this time in hopes of exchanging for it."

"No."

Medusa's refusal was clean and decisive.

But that also confirmed that Queen Medusa truly possessed a Heavenly Flame!

At this thought, Gu He could barely suppress his excitement. He said,

"As long as Your Majesty is willing to trade, I can offer two Sixth-grade Pills and one Seventh-grade Transformation Pill in exchange. How about it?"

"Hiss—!"
