"Is what you said true?" Medusa, hearing this, could no longer control herself, stood up directly, and asked excitedly.
"Naturally, it's true. If I didn't have this confidence, I wouldn't have come to discuss a deal with you," Xiao Zhitian's tone shifted, "I quite admire Queen Medusa's fearless spirit of adventure; otherwise, I would have just taken it directly. I don't think the Snake-People Tribe can stop us."
Xiao Zhitian directly motioned for Old Shui to release his full aura.
"Seven-Star Dou Zong…" Medusa, feeling Shui Ye's cultivation, blurted out, "Then I believe you, but how will you help me evolve? I need to know."
Xiao Zhitian took out a black-gold jade bottle, opened the lid, and a giant white python appeared."Has Queen Medusa ever heard of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python?"
Medusa stared intently at the energy python."Is this the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python?"
"That's right. Inside the jade bottle is a drop of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's heart blood. As long as you swallow this drop of heart blood, coupled with my secret method, it will be enough for you to evolve into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python."
Xiao Zhitian put away the jade bottle, and the energy python disappeared. Medusa reluctantly withdrew her gaze, her face full of longing. She was indeed moved by Xiao Zhitian's conditions. The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python is a high-level magical beast, and becoming one would give her the chance to advance to a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python in the future.
A Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python is an existence that is at least a Dou Saint, and can even break through to a Dou Emperor.
"What is this secret method you speak of?" Medusa's tone was no longer cold, but carried a hint of allure as she spoke.
"Swallowing the heart blood and the medicinal liquid I've prepared will help you absorb the heart blood and protect your body. Coupled with my Otherworldly Flame, you will be able to evolve."
The Life Spirit Purifying Devouring Fate Lotus Flame appeared in Xiao Zhitian's hand, sometimes appearing as flames Lotus, and other times transforming into a roaring Golden Dragon.
"Is that an Heavenly Flame? You already have an Otherworldly Flame, why do you need other Otherworldly Flames? Also, what's the difference between using an Heavenly Flame to burn and me using other Otherworldly Flames to evolve?" Medusa asked, puzzled, looking at the bright red flame in Xiao Zhitian's hand.
"The difference is significant. This is a controlled Heavenly Flame, and my Heavenly Flame can bring auspiciousness. When you successfully evolve and undergo tribulation, this auspiciousness can help you reduce the damage from the lightning tribulation."
Xiao Zhitian sent a wisp of the Life Spirit Purifying Devouring Fate Lotus Flame, imbued with an auspicious aura, to Medusa, allowing her to feel it personally.
After feeling it, Medusa's face broke into a smile."Alright, I agree to your exchange, but the Heavenly Flame, I can only give you after I successfully evolve. When can we arrange this?"
Xiao Zhitian was deeply captivated by Medusa's exquisite smile. Under the powerful late-stage Mortal Realm soul power, Xiao Zhitian quickly regained his composure.
Seeing Xiao Zhitian mesmerized by her, Medusa felt a strange sense of joy within. Medusa was very confident in her beauty, but to have someone of such extraordinary and peerless appearance also be mesmerized by her for a moment, her heart was still very satisfied.
"No rush. First, prepare these medicinal ingredients. I will refine them into a medicinal liquid, and then we can begin your evolution."
Xiao Zhitian threw out a list, filled with fifty to sixty types of medicinal ingredients. Medusa glanced at it briefly; most of the ingredients were relatively easy to find, and the Snake-People Tribe had quite a few.
"Are you an Alchemist? I'll need a few days to gather the medicinal ingredients on the list."
Medusa looked at Xiao Zhitian with a puzzled expression, then spoke.
"Since I have an Heavenly Flame, then I must be an Alchemist," Xiao Zhitian said with a smile.
"At your age, you're already a Dou Ling, and now you're also an Alchemist. I'm very curious what rank of Alchemist you are?"
Medusa looked at Xiao Zhitian with a hint of curiosity. Indeed, humans were favored by the heavens. This man before her possessed top-tier looks and talent, and now he was even an Alchemist. It was simply unbelievable, like "unbelievable opening the door for unbelievable," utterly preposterous.
"Queen Medusa, don't be too curious about me, because curiosity is often the beginning of a woman's downfall, haha. I hope Queen Medusa can arrange a room for us. You're not planning to make us wander in the desert during this time, are you?"
Seeing that the cooperation was reached, Xiao Zhitian chuckled, teasing Medusa.
Medusa summoned Hua She Er, the Medusa Snake Guard Captain, to arrange rooms for Xiao Zhitian.
As he left the main hall entrance, Xiao Zhitian turned and smiled at Medusa. The sunlight shone on him, as if draping him in a golden halo.
"This King is not the kind of person you speak of," Medusa murmured, lazily lying back on her amethyst throne.
Medusa had never been so relaxed as she was today. The problem that had troubled her for so long now had a solution. Previously, she had been worried that if she failed, the Snake-People Tribe's situation would become even more difficult.
…
Hua She Er led Xiao Zhitian and Shui Ye to the palace complex next to the main hall, arranged two adjacent rooms, and when asked if they needed maids, Xiao Zhitian refused, saying that his only maid was Qing Lin, and no one else would do.
…
Inside the room, Xiao Zhitian, sitting cross-legged on the bed, woke up the system:"System, check in."
[Ding, successfully checked in at the Snake-People Tribe's Medusa Temple, obtained: Disposable Teleportation Gate * 12, Lightning-attribute Earth-tier low-grade cultivation technique: Thunder Seal Art, Wood-attribute Earth-tier low-grade cultivation technique: Green Sky Wood Dragon Scripture, Realm + 1]
Looking at these rewards, Xiao Zhitian was very interested in the Teleportation Gate.
Disposable Teleportation Gate: Can teleport to any location with coordinates, single-use item.
With this, he wouldn't have to painstakingly travel long distances in the future.
…
On the third day after Xiao Zhitian and Queen Medusa finished their discussion, three Dou King-level Snake-People, two males and one female, arrived outside the Snake-People Temple, requesting to see Medusa.
They were Mo Ba Si, the leader of the Black Snake Tribe, Yin Shi, the Snake-People strategist, and Yue Mei.
The three, led by Hua She Er, entered the Snake-People Temple and bowed to Medusa on the high platform.
"What is the matter, three leaders, that you seek an audience with this King?" Queen Medusa asked coolly from her throne.
"Your Majesty, we are here to deliver medicinal ingredients. We heard that humans have moved into the Snake-People Temple. The Snake-People Temple is our tribe's sacred ground; how can humans be allowed to live here? This is a great disrespect," Mo Ba Si hesitated, then spoke directly. Yin Shi, seeing this, sighed helplessly.
"Presumptuous! I am the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, and my decisions are final. If there is nothing else, you may withdraw," Medusa's aura surged, and she glared at them sharply.
The three Snake-People in the temple immediately slumped to the ground, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, stood up, and respectfully exited the temple.
"You really are… Perhaps the Queen has some plans. You must not ruin things, and besides, such a powerful expert is not someone our tribe can afford to offend." Yin Shi, who had exited the temple, shook his head at Mo Ba Si, then left the temple directly.
During these past few days, Xiao Zhitian either stayed in his room refining Mysterious Spirit Pills or cultivated, choosing not to wander around.
Medusa took the medicinal ingredients from Hua She Er and headed towards Xiao Zhitian's room.
Xiao Zhitian, who was cultivating in his room, heard Shui Ye's voice in his mind:"Hall Master, Medusa is coming this way."
Xiao Zhitian nodded at the words, stood up, and opened his door.
