320: Xiao Yixian and I are like sisters, don't have

To her disappointment, Lin Xiu didn't show any particular reaction.

Instead, it was as if he had heard the story before.

When he noticed she paused, he would signal her to continue.

Medusa brought up the issue of Bloodline shackles, hoping to seek some help from Lin Xiu.

“Why should I help you? I’ve already repaid everything you helped me with before, haven’t I?”

After listening, Lin Xiu nodded, calmly retorting.

“Isn’t it proper for a subordinate to ask their leader for help when they encounter a problem? If I become stronger, won’t I be able to help you more?”

After a long silence, Medusa suddenly bit her red lip lightly, and with a faint, hesitant voice, she said.

Was this still Queen Medusa, who had once so confidently declared she would take him as her subordinate?

Lin Xiu looked astonished, his gaze fixed on Medusa's beautiful face, which held both majesty and an alluring strangeness.

“What are you looking at?! This King accepts defeat, but you, a grown man, wouldn’t try to renege on a bet, would you?!”

Seemingly provoked by Lin Xiu’s gaze, Medusa slammed her hand on the table.

Hearing this, Lin Xiu recalled that earlier, at the Yunlan Sect, when he saw Xiao Yan and Protector Wu, he had indeed made a bet with Medusa.

“Someone clearly tried to renege on the bet back then, and I had to drag her back later.”

Lin Xiu teased.

Medusa’s expression froze, and she immediately deflated like a punctured ball, “This King, at that time, had an urgent matter.”

“It’s not impossible to help you, but I have one condition.”

Lin Xiu’s eyes flashed, as he thought of something.

“You…”

Scanned by the other party with the gaze of someone appraising prey, Medusa leaned back slightly, “Little Fairy Doctor and I are like sisters; don’t have any ideas!”

“What is your Snake brain thinking about all day?”

Lin Xiu laughed wryly, shaking his head gently, “I admit you have some charm, but I, Lin Xiu, am not a desperate person, alright? If I wanted to make a move, I would have done so long ago.”

“Then what do you want me to do?”

Medusa thought for a moment and realized he was right; this kid's strength had long been able to suppress her.

“During this time, I will borrow some of your blood. Don’t worry, it won’t harm your Foundation.”

Lin Xiu finished speaking, then placed a few Medicinal Pills down, “Your strength is too weak; you’re only a Seven-Star Dou Zong right now. Hurry up and improve.”

He left with a look of disdain, ignoring Medusa’s tightly clenched teeth, and walked out of the room.

Since talent could be refined from the Void Ancient Dragon’s blood, there was no reason why the Heaven Swallowing Python’s blood wouldn’t work.

Lin Xiu remembered very clearly that when his Physical Body was burned by the Fallen Heart Flame, his stats had changed.

This was also the fundamental reason why his current physique could crush humans of the same Realm through the method of adding points.

Now that his Cultivation Technique and Fighting Skill were not bad, he could consider expanding other methods to improve his strength.

In the following days, Lin Xiu didn’t rush into Cultivate, but instead first dealt with his faction—the Cultivation Alliance.

Backed by Canaan Academy and with a Dou Zun overseeing it, the Cultivation Alliance’s development speed in the Northwest Region exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Many forces, facing the Cultivation Alliance’s expansion, even voluntarily surrendered, without any thought of resistance.

“Currently, the four Empires surrounding the Black-Corner Region—Gama, Chuyun, Mulan, and Luoyan—have all joined the Cultivation Alliance. In addition, Tianya City has also been brought under control.

The Myriad Scorpion Gate of the Chuyun Empire once organized resistance, but it was blocked by the Snake-People Tribe in conjunction with the Gama Empire. Later, the Alliance Leader went there and completely resolved the problem.”

In the hall, Lin Dun was recounting the changes in the Cultivation Alliance over the past year to Lin Xiu.

The Alliance Leader he spoke of was none other than Little Fairy Doctor.

Lin Xiu nodded, listening silently; the speed of the faction’s integration was faster than he had anticipated.

A large part of the reason was the Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills rewarded by the Cultivation Alliance.

In many cities, Profound High-Rank items were rare, and upon learning that contributing to the Cultivation Alliance could earn Low-tier Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills, many forces lost any thought of resistance.

They couldn't wait to shed their blood for the Cultivation Alliance!

After a while, Lin Dun said with a bright smile, “Brother Xiu, the Cultivation Alliance can now almost be considered the largest force in the Northwest Region!”

His face bore a heartfelt smile.

Because of his position within the Cultivation Alliance, his status in his hometown had risen significantly, and many people praised him.

“Good, keep it up. I will invest another batch of Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills, the highest of which are Earth High-Rank. As long as one has the ability and dedication, they can exchange for them to Cultivate.”

As Lin Xiu spoke, he raised his hand and scattered a batch of Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills he had recently organized.

A large number of Jade Slips piled up into a small mountain in the hall, the various colored Jade Slips mixed together, emitting a dazzling array of colorful light.

Lin Dun, Han Yue, and others present, their breathing somewhat halted, stared blankly at the Jade Slips covering the ground, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Earth High-Rank has arrived, so can Heaven Rank be far behind?

Especially Han Yue’s Han Family members, their faces flushed, their excitement hard to conceal.

What about the Han Family’s century-old legacy in Tianbei City? It was given directly!

Even if they held on for another hundred years, the Family might not even be able to obtain a single Earth High-Rank Fighting Skill!

Han Chi’s aged face was filled with emotion, and he infinitely understood the importance of knowing a benefactor.

If they hadn’t met Lin Xiu back then, and hadn’t been captured by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, how would they have had the chance to see so many Advanced Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills?

“Alas, it’s just a pity about Yue’er…”

With a hint of tenderness in his gaze, Han Chi looked at his eldest daughter. For the Cultivation Alliance, she had indeed worried herself sick.

She was busy almost every day, yet she never told Lin Xiu, just silently contributed.

“Lin Xiu, this news isn’t suitable to be spread, is it?”

After the two Protectors, Bai and Qian, exchanged glances, Elder Bai hesitated and said.

Being too high-profile easily attracts unwanted attention!

Although in the past two years, both of them had greatly improved their strength with the Medicinal Pills provided by Lin Xiu.

But thinking about the scoundrels who would covet Advanced Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills, they still felt immense pressure.

After all, Earth High-Rank is only inferior to Heaven Rank.

And Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills are rarely seen.

One can imagine how many reclusive old monsters this news would attract once it spread beyond the Northwest Region.

“It’s fine, with a Dou Sheng overseeing us, there’s nothing to fear.”

Lin Xiu smiled faintly, speaking softly.

As soon as these simple words were uttered, they were like a clap of thunder on a clear day, erupting in a chorus of exclamations in the hall.

“A Dou Sheng?!”

“Is that real or fake?”

“Our Cultivation Alliance has a Dou Sheng powerhouse?!”

All eyes, whether surprised, shocked, or stunned, converged on Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu, with a smile on his face, looked directly into the Void Realm ahead.

Everyone’s gaze shifted.

They saw a ripple in the Void Realm, and then a somewhat familiar figure emerged.

“Thanks to Lin Xiu’s help, this old man was fortunate enough to advance to a One-Star Dou Sheng.”

Yao Tianhuo had a smile playing on his lips.

Whoosh!

Everyone’s gaze shifted again.

“This kind of opportunity is rare. Everyone, Cultivate well. In the future, there might not be a chance to Breakthrough to Dou Sheng.”

Lin Xiu understood everyone’s thoughts and said with a faint smile.

The meeting concluded, and news of the Advanced Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills spread rapidly as if on wings.

At the same time, news of Yao Tianhuo’s transformation from Venerable Skyfire to Sage Skyfire also spread.

Especially upon learning that Lin Xiu had a hand in his success, three or four Seven-Star and Eight-Star Dou Zun powerhouses, who had been living in seclusion, were stirred up in the Northwest Region.

Each of them was an elderly person, solely focused on Breakthrough.

But at this moment, they all had the idea of taking a shortcut.

After a brief meeting with Lin Xiu, those few people were willing to join the Cultivation Alliance. In an instant, the Cultivation Alliance’s strength greatly increased, far surpassing the so-called two sects.

At this time, Lin Xiu had already set everything aside, focusing all his attention on improving his own strength.

In the Star Domain above the firmament, a figure enveloped in firelight, with Star power entwined around his body, roared out, attacking a person opposite him at an extremely fast speed.

The opponent controlled flames, and space surged and folded.
