17: Chapter 17 You're using this to seduce the Queen?

"Earth-rank Low-tier Cultivation Method."

At the peak of a mountain somewhere in the Jia Ma Empire, Queen Medusa, who was adjusting her breathing to recover her Fighting Qi, opened her eyes, a fierce craving rising in her heart.

The bloodline of the Snake-People Clan is of an icy attribute, naturally disliking Yang-attribute and fire-attribute energy. However, she, the Queen, was an exception, and the reason was related to the soul of her accompanying serpentine magical beast.

Not long after a member of the Snake-People Clan is born, a powerful individual within the clan will use a secret technique to infuse them with the soul of a serpentine magical beast. As they grow in age and strength, they gradually fuse with it, eventually becoming inseparable to the point where they can transform into the form of the magical beast to fight others, just like a transformed magical beast summoning its original form. This is considered one of the trump cards of the Snake-People.

And Queen Medusa's accompanying serpentine magical beast was a Tier 6 magical beast of the fire attribute known as the Purple Nether Flame Snake.

If she had that "Flame Earth Manual," she might not have risked considering the Heavenly Flame evolution, but instead would have broken through to Dou Zong normally.

"The current situation is not bad either."

Medusa finished her breathing exercise, stood up, and once again summoned her Fighting Qi wings to continue her journey in one direction.

If she could obtain the remnant soul and magical core of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, and then use the Green Lotus Core Flame to transform into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python before breaking through to Dou Zong, her future would be wider than cultivating an Earth-rank Low-tier Cultivation Method, and growing to a Dou Zun would be a smooth path.

Meanwhile, at Cloud Mist Sect on Yun Lan Mountain, Yun Yun felt her hands and feet go cold.

"It shouldn't, surely, it can't be that much of a coincidence!?" Yun Yun drank a sip of hot tea to calm her nerves.

Xiao Ting mentioned in his Diary that among the Eight Great Emperor Clans of the millennium, there was one called the Hun Clan.

She had a strong premonition that the Hall of Souls was related to this Hun Clan.

If she wanted to make a move against people from the Hall of Souls, wouldn't that mean she would also be making an enemy of an Emperor Clan?

But thinking of the death of the founder of the Cloud Mist Sect being related to the Hall of Souls, her gaze hardened.

As the ninth Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, she had to act against the Hall of Souls not just to obtain the inheritance, but also for revenge.

If the founder, Yun Potian, were still alive, the Cloud Mist Sect would not just be a second-rate force in the Northwest Continent.

"I will go to the front lines recently; perhaps there is a chance to find people from the Hall of Souls in the Izumo Empire." Yun Yun pondered secretly.

She focused her attention back on the Diary, and the content was still updating.

【Yao Lao suggested that starting tomorrow, until my Cousin goes out for training, he will guide me in cultivating cultivation methods and Dou Techniques together.】

【With a former Grade 8 Alchemist and a Peak Dou Zun powerhouse teaching, my strength will definitely improve very quickly. This is also something worth recording, and it just so happens that I can record every detail of my Cousin becoming stronger from the perspective of an observer.】

Queen Medusa stopped abruptly in mid-air, her heart pounding wildly: "Grade 8 Alchemist, Peak Dou Zun..."

That's right, how could the powerhouse capable of teaching a future Dou Di be weak?

It's just that she hadn't expected him to be the top powerhouse below Dou Sheng.

And he was also a Grade 8 Alchemist.

"Hiss~" Yun Yun's breathing became ragged, then she revealed a relieved smile: "Yanran, losing is not unjust."

She was merely a Dou Huang, and the strongest Alchemist the Cloud Mist Sect knew, Pill King Gu He, had only just entered the sixth grade not long ago.

That her disciple could fight against the disciple trained by Yao Lao could already be considered the highlight of her life.

"The Three-Year Agreement... It will just happen to let Yanran know that there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people, and temper her state of mind."

Although she had long guessed Yao Lao's identity and strength, after knowing his true situation, Yun Yun completely changed her mindset.

As for this information, inside the Mo Tie Mercenary Group in Stone Desert City, Qing Lin, who was cleaning a courtyard, felt no waves in her heart.

She only wanted to know what her future would be as a mixed-race descendant of the Snake-People Clan and the human race.

Comparatively, on a magical beast carriage heading from Qingshan Town to Wutan City, Xiao Yi Xian was very excited: "A Grade 8 Alchemist..."

What she desired most was to become an Alchemist, but because she lacked talent, she could only be an ordinary apothecary. However, she had a special fondness for the profession of Alchemist in her heart, which could also be called an obsession.

"Such a figure must know what is going on with my body." A flash of anticipation and anxiety crossed Xiao Yi Xian's eyes.

But immediately following that, she suddenly thought that she didn't need Yao Lao to give her an answer at all.

Who could be clearer about her situation than Xiao Ting, this transmigrator?

"Arriving in Wutan City tomorrow, I wonder if we can meet." Xiao Yi Xian subconsciously tightened her grip.

For a small-town physician like her, it wasn't that simple to meet the genius young master of the Xiao Family.

Without a suitable reason, trying to engineer a chance encounter or rashly presenting herself would only arouse suspicion.

But the next moment, a gleam of light bloomed in her eyes.

【After saying goodbye to Yao Lao and my Cousin, Xun'er and I headed to Yuhua Hall in the third market district of the west side of Wutan City. This breakfast shop is Xun'er's favorite, and the breakfast has a very distinct characteristic of the Fighting Qi Continent.】

"Yuhua Hall." Xiao Yi Xian's heart leapt with joy.

Since she and Xun'er were both women, and she had heard of the good reputation of Yuhua Hall after arriving in Wutan City, it was reasonable and legitimate to go and taste their breakfast!

As long as Xiao Ting and Xun'er went to Yuhua Hall again in the next few days, it would be her opportunity.

【On the way, Xun'er asked me if I was interested in Yao Lao's identity.】

【At that time, I really wanted to tell her, "My foolish sister, it's not that I'm not interested, it's just that in this Fighting Qi Continent, no one understands Yao Lao better than I do."】

【Why Yao Lao was expelled from the Medicine Clan, what kind of schemes he suffered behind the scenes, and what the current situation of his confidantes like Hu Jiujiu and Han Shanshan is—I know even better than he, the person involved, does.】

【I wanted even more to tell her, "I know you like the back of my hand, I know your background, and I know you are trustworthy."】

【But before I am strong enough, I can only pretend not to know.】

【In order not to let you bear too much pressure, there are some things I cannot do.】

【As long as I become a Dou Sheng, all problems will be solved easily; waiting these ten years is worth it.】

Hiss!

Medusa, Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, and even Xun'er all had their pupils constrict suddenly.

It didn't surprise them that Xiao Ting knew many secrets, but what did his last sentence mean... that he believed he could become a Dou Sheng within ten years!?

If this was said by someone else, even a core descendant of a Dou Di clan or a Dou Sheng seed, it would make people doubt it.

But Xiao Ting said this, and it was in the Diary, a "private" thought that "only he could see."

That must mean he had absolute certainty.

"A Dou Sheng in ten years, but he is only a Dou Master now, so doesn't that mean he has to break through a major realm every year before reaching Dou Zun?"

Unbelievable, hard to believe.

"So it takes at most ten years." Xun'er revealed a bright smile.

【In the future, I must appropriately show my cards to Yao Lao, so that I can seek out Wind Venerable as a backer when my strength is appropriate and I am in need.】

【I specifically asked Xun'er if the soul also has realms, and she told me that the soul is divided into Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Heaven Realm, and Emperor Realm.】

【I am very clear about these; I am currently at the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm soul, the Spirit Realm is... the Heaven Realm... the Emperor Realm...】

【A 9-star late-stage Dou Sheng who also possesses an Emperor Realm Soul is considered a quasi-Emperor powerhouse.】

【There is an inheritance of a quasi-Emperor powerhouse lying right there, waiting for me to obtain it once my strength is sufficient.】

【At that inheritance location, there is also a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python nest, where at least hundreds of Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python souls exist. They can all live another life through the Snake-People Clan's secret technique, and there is also the inheritance of the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, which can help the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python become a Saint.】

【In the future, if there is a chance, I can go and subdue a Purple Nether Flame Snake, and then let Yao Lao refine a Tier 7 medicinal pill to help it transform into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python; in the future, I will have a Dou Sheng bodyguard.】

Queen Medusa: ?

Queen Medusa: !

You use this to tempt this Queen, how can this Queen resist!?
