32: Chapter 32 The Nemesis of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan

Before returning to Qingshan Town.

Ling Yuan made another trip to the birthplace of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

He pulled that Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake up from the magma.

"Qing Lin, your eyes are actually very powerful. You can form contracts with Magical Beasts, making them absolutely obedient to you."

Following Ling Yuan's gaze, Qing Lin looked over and saw the two ferocious heads of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, as well as the flames it was spitting. She subconsciously took a step back, her eyes filled with fear.

"Don't be afraid. This Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake has already been subdued by me and won't hurt you. Come over and give it a try; try to form a contract with it."

With Ling Yuan's encouragement, the fear in Qing Lin's heart diminished a little. She bit her lower lip, gathered her courage, and slowly walked forward.

"Young Master..., what should I do?"

"Uh..." Ling Yuan was instantly rendered speechless. He paused for a moment, a flash of awkwardness crossing his face.

He only knew that the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils had the ability to control Magical Beasts, but he had never studied the specific operation methods, nor did he have the faintest clue about how to form a contract.

Ling Yuan secretly asked Ling Yun, only to discover that Ling Yun didn't really understand it either.

The Ling Clan's library definitely had records concerning the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, but no one had the spare time to study them.

Ling Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak to Qing Lin in vague terms:

"Move a bit closer, stare into its eyes, concentrate, and really feel the connection between you and it. Just follow your intuition."

Ling Yuan felt that the general direction shouldn't be wrong; the contract ability of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils must rely on eye contact to establish a connection. As for the specific details, Qing Lin would have to figure them out and feel them for herself.

Qing Lin nodded obediently. Following Ling Yuan's instructions, she slowly approached the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, a faint green light flashed in the depths of her eyes, and her jade-green pupils stared fixedly into the eyes of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

The person and the beast stared at each other, remaining in a stalemate for quite a while. The surroundings were silent, save for the low hisses occasionally emitted by the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and the sound of Qing Lin's slightly rapid breathing.

Ling Yuan stood to the side, watching quietly without making a sound to disturb them.

Fortunately, not long after, the hissing of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake gradually quieted down. Its originally angry gaze slowly became docile. It stopped struggling and lay obediently on the ground, a hint of submission appearing in its eyes as it looked at Qing Lin.

Success!

Seeing this, Ling Yuan raised his hand and withdrew the Dou Qi that was restraining the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. He smiled and said, "It's done. Try making it do something."

Qing Lin's eyes lit up. She tentatively said to the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, "You... get up and turn around in a circle."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake obediently stood up and turned around in a circle on the spot. Its movements were extremely obedient, completely devoid of its previous ferocity.

Qing Lin tried making it spit fire and lie down, and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake complied with every command without the slightest resistance.

A brilliant smile instantly appeared on Qing Lin's face. She turned to look at Ling Yuan excitedly, "Young Master! I succeeded! I really can control it!"

Ling Yuan gently stroked her head and praised her for a job well done.

Inwardly, he couldn't help but marvel at how monstrous the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were.

One had to know that Qing Lin hadn't even begun formal cultivation yet and didn't even have any Dou Zhi Qi, yet she could already easily control a Dou Ling-level Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. This talent was truly astonishing.

And the abilities of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils went far beyond this. Not only could they control snake-type Magical Beasts and have them fight for her, but they could also extract the Dou Qi of these Magical Beasts, convert it into her own power, and accelerate her own cultivation speed.

As long as she could find enough snake-type Magical Beasts, Qing Lin's combat power and growth speed would become terrifying.

Coincidentally, the Ling Clan had the full strength to help Qing Lin collect snake-type Magical Beasts.

And the number of members in the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan was vast enough; they could serve as Qing Lin's power bank.

Ling Yuan calculated inwardly that if Qing Lin could drain the Dou Qi of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan, even if she couldn't reach the level of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, breaking through to an Eight Star Dou Sheng would be no problem at all.

From this perspective, Qing Lin's talent was actually better than both Medusa's and Xiao Yi Xian's.

Outside the courtyard where Ling Yuan had previously stayed in Qingshan Town, it was exceptionally quiet, with only a faint sound of a Magical Beast hissing drifting over.

Ling Yuan brought Qing Lin to the entrance of the courtyard and immediately saw Zi Yan squatting outside his room.

The little loli was boredly toying with a Rank 2 rodent-type Magical Beast. The Magical Beast was gray and dusty, and its tail was being gripped tightly by Zi Yan as it spun around continuously.

The Magical Beast was spun until it was dizzy, its limbs kicking wildly. It kept squeaking, "Zhi zhi zhi," its voice filled with pain and despair. It was clearly on the verge of a breakdown from being tortured, yet it couldn't break free from Zi Yan's hand in the slightest.

"Keep spinning it, and you're going to rip its tail off," Ling Yuan teased.

Hearing Ling Yuan's familiar voice, Zi Yan's body stiffened abruptly. She immediately looked up, and a look of pleasant surprise instantly appeared on her face, her eyes shining like stars.

She immediately released the hand gripping the Magical Beast's tail, and the beast seized the chance to stumble away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zi Yan hopped and skipped, wanting to run towards Ling Yuan, and she even wanted to shout, "Ling Yuan, you're finally back!" But after running just two steps, her gaze fell upon Qing Lin, who was beside Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan was quite shrewd; he had been holding Qing Lin's hand on the way, but he let go once they arrived here.

After all, people like Qing Lin and Medusa still couldn't compare to Zi Yan.

But even so, a hint of jealousy still rose in Zi Yan's heart.

She sized Qing Lin up and down. Qing Lin had a petite figure and looked even more fragile than herself, but the parts of her body that should have developed were well-developed.

She looked at herself again, still a flat airport, and the disparity in her heart grew even greater.

The number of women Ling Yuan was close to was increasing; first it was Xiao Yi Xian, and now it was Qing Lin. Zi Yan's sense of urgency was growing stronger and stronger.

Zi Yan naturally grabbed Ling Yuan's hand and looked at Qing Lin, "Who is she?"

Ling Yuan knew she was jealous, so he secretly sent her a voice transmission, briefly explaining Qing Lin's plight of being bullied since childhood because of her mixed-blood heritage and having no one to rely on.

In any case, Ling Yuan played it up to make it sound as miserable as possible.

After hearing the voice transmission, the look in Zi Yan's eyes as she watched Qing Lin gradually lost its guard and gained a hint of sympathy.

She recalled her own childhood; although she had also been alone, she possessed formidable strength and could occasionally bully weak Magical Beasts.

But Qing Lin was different. She had been bullied since she was little and didn't even have the ability to resist. Just thinking about it made her feel pitiful.

Seeing this, Ling Yuan spoke up at the right moment, "Qing Lin was often bullied in the past, so she has a rather timid nature. You can take care of her more in the future."

Zi Yan: "Alright then, from now on, I'll look after her!"

Ling Yuan glanced over, and Zi Yan puffed out her small chest.

The little loli didn't have the assets, so why did she keep puffing out her chest?

Thinking this, Ling Yuan sent a voice transmission to Yao Chen inside the ring.

He told him to come out and take a look at Zi Yan.

Ling Yuan had forgotten before that the one inside the ring was also a Grade 8 Alchemist.
