Chapter 112 Trading In the Snake Temple, Medusa dismissed all the servants, including Hua She'er, who was a Dou Wang powerful warrior, and only left Xiao Yun and others in the hall."Tell me, Queen Medusa, what kind of elixir do you want me to help you refine?" Xiao Yun asked, looking at Medusa not far away. "Master Xiao, you are joking. The original agreement was just a joke I made. You can help my clan refine two Douling Pills, which is far beyond the Sand Mandala." "Oh?" Xiao Yun smiled playfully. This woman still knew that she was the one who asked for too much in the first place. Seeing Xiao Yun's expression, a hint of hesitation flashed across Medusa's beautiful eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "Master Xiao, actually, I invited you here this time not to ask you to refine pills, but to borrow your strange fire." "Borrow strange fire? Do you want to evolve and break through?" Xiao Yun frowned. Medusa still chose to go the old way. The Snake Queen can indeed use the strange fire to evolve herself. Not only can she break through her current realm, but she can also cleanse her own bloodline and become a higher-grade monster. But the strange fire is still a strange fire, and the terrifying power contained in it is very restraining to the naturally cold snake people. In the history of the snake people, Medusa is not the only one who wants to evolve. There are also snakes among the queens who want to try, but most of them died in the process of evolution. "That's right, Master Xiao. If I want to reach a higher realm, this is the only way I can go." Medusa nodded slightly and said softly, "Although the word 'snake' has the word 'human' in its name, it is still more like a demon beast. We have a longer lifespan than ordinary humans, and our cultivation is also limited by our own bloodline." "My companion magical beast is a sixth-level purple ghost flame snake. With its bloodline, reaching the peak of Douhuang is already the limit. Even if I rely on elixirs to break through to Douzong by chance, it will be difficult to make any progress." “But the body of the Purple Nether Flame Snake contains a trace of the blood of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. So I want to use the strange fire to activate that trace of blood in my body and evolve it into a real Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python!”
After hearing Medusa's explanation, Xiao Yun and Xiao Yixian looked calm. On the contrary, Zi Yan looked like she shared the same feeling and kept nodding in approval. "No, your original body is so strong, is it that easy to empathize with her?" Seeing Zi Yan standing aside, Xiao Yun rubbed her little head with some amusement. Her original body was a sixth-order supporting magical beast, and she could only cultivate to the peak Dou Huang level. But your original body was the king of magical beasts - Taixu Ancient Dragon. As long as you are willing to work hard, it would be no problem to cultivate all the way to Dou Sheng. "Hmph, you stinky Xiaoyun, I'll bite you to death." Zi Yan's face immediately dropped after he said that. She pushed his hand away with her little hand, then pounced on him and started making a fuss. "I haven't been able to break through to Douhuang for so many years. Isn't it because of this that I suffered? Why can't you empathize with me?" "Alright, alright." Xiao Yun held the little girl down with both hands. "If you keep hitting me, I won't be able to make pills for you!" After hearing his threat, Zi Yan stood up and ran directly to Medusa. After sitting down beside her, she made a face at Xiao Yun. What a little brat! He’s really hard to tame. No wonder he got along so well with Medusa in the original novel. Xiao Yun curled his lips, and seeing Medusa's puzzled expression, he said, "She is also a demon beast, but her original form is much stronger than yours. Even after you evolve, you can't beat her." "It's just that this little brat has been staying in Canaan College for some reason and has never met her people." Medusa suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she felt an inexplicable pressure when Zi Yan approached her. It turned out that it was the suppression from her blood. "Sister Medusa, can you really only evolve through the strange fire?" Zi Yan asked crisply. It's not that she didn't know how terrifying the strange fire was, but even she didn't dare to touch it easily. "Well, if you want to become stronger and lead the people out of the desert, you have to do this." Perhaps because of Zi Yan's identity as a demon beast, or perhaps out of pity for her life experience, Medusa, who has always been known for her cruelty, showed her gentle side in front of Zi Yan. She looked like a caring elder sister, which made Xiao Yun's eyes wide open. It was only after the Little Medical Fairy gently patted him that he reacted. "Ahem, well, actually, evolution isn't that dangerous." Xiao Yun coughed, focused the three women's attention on himself, and said with a smile: "Borrowing alien fire to evolve is indeed dangerous, but the previous snake queens should have used ownerless alien fire, right?" "The ownerless strange fire will not restrain its power when it fails to evolve. This is why they were all buried in the strange fire." "But my strange fire is different. It belongs to someone else. If you can't hold on, I will immediately withdraw the fire. At most, you will be seriously injured, but your life will not be in danger." Hearing this, Medusa and Zi Yan were both delighted. The former pondered for a moment and felt that what he said made more and more sense. Looking up, Medusa looked at Xiao Yun with her beautiful eyes and smiled, revealing an extremely charming smile, "Master Xiao, do you agree?" "I guess so. It depends on what conditions you can offer."
Although borrowing the strange fire would only consume a little bit of fighting spirit and would not cause any loss of the origin of the strange fire, this did not mean that Xiao Yun would give it away for free! The previous transaction was so unfair, I must get some of it back today no matter what. "Our clan is willing to provide twenty medicinal herbs, including fifteen fifth-grade herbs and five sixth-grade herbs!" Medusa understood this logic, but now the initiative was in the hands of the opponent, and she couldn't find the second strange fire, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow it. Xiao Yun smiled and shook his head slowly, "No..." Before he could finish, Zi Yan pounced on him and kept scratching him with her little hands. "Damn Xiao Yun, this much is not enough! This is enough for me to eat for a month!" "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you." Xiao Yun pulled Zi Yan down. This little brat is really hard to tame. After such a short time, he started to help Medusa speak. "Since Zi Yan has said so, then let's do as you say. But don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. I am not asking for as much as you are." "I am now a seventh-rank alchemist. The little you gave me is barely enough to cover my fee." Xiao Yun smiled slightly. Although his tone was plain, it caused huge waves in Medusa's heart. A seventh-grade alchemist, this level of alchemist is even rarer than a Dou Zun in the Douqi Continent. I didn’t expect that the young man in front of me has actually reached that level! "Master Xiao, you are joking. We, the Serpent People, are willing to give out these herbs." After a while, Medusa, who had calmed down, showed a charming smile and asked softly, "Then Master Xiao, when do you want to lend me the strange fire?" "The sooner the better. I won't stay in the Northwest Continent for long. I will travel to Zhongzhou soon." "Okay, let's do it tomorrow. I still need some time to prepare." (End of this chapter)
