Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

Soon, a purple-gold light lit up, and three drops of blood emitting terrifying dragon power appeared and merged into the palm of Lu Yu.

A purple-gold light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and a powerful aura rose up, but in contrast, Zi Yan's body trembled and she almost fell down.

Lu Yu quickly held Zi Yan in his arms, took out some tonic pills and gave them to Zi Yan to take. Seeing her pale little face, Lu Yu felt distressed. If he was not weak enough, Lu Yu would have wanted to go to Dragon Island and catch an ancient Taixu dragon to drink its blood.

On the other side, Medusa quickly stopped the puppet's actions.

This thing was too powerful, and it would hit to death once it struck. Medusa's blood was boiling after just two moves, and she couldn't fight any further. In addition, she found that Zi Yan was in a bad state, so she was in no mood to continue.

After a quick look, Medusa understood the whole story and returned to the body of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python to practice, while Lu Yu took Zi Yan back to the inner courtyard.

As usual, Lu Yu cooked several medicinal dishes. Zi Yan ate them with gusto and ate several bowls in one go.

Because it smelled so good, Medusa couldn't help it and came out again, and then... then Zi Yan became a little unhappy.

She didn't know why when the three of them were together, she felt a little awkward, as if she were... their daughter.

The depressed Zi Yan was furious, and turned her grief and anger into food, eating two more large bowls of medicinal food.

Seeing this, Lu Yu returned to the Holy Gate. He had been out for a long time and it was time to go back and take a look.

But once you step into the Holy Gate, the atmosphere becomes a little off. Members of the gate are coming and going in a hurry, as if they all have urgent matters to attend to. Not only that, the flow of people is also less than before.

"Eh... Lu Yu?"

At this moment, a voice of surprise was heard, and upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was actually Nalan Yanran... Oh, and Xiao Yan.

"Don't be so surprised." Xiao Yan said with a smile: "The Strong Ranking Competition is about to start, so the students are preparing."

"Oh... so that's what's going on!" Lu Yu suddenly realized that the Inner Court Strong List Competition is mainly to determine the top ten on the strong list. The top ten winners can get the "Heart Fire Tempering Body" reward.

This thing is very useful for Dou Ling, and can even be said to be a ticket to Dou Wang... Of course, the prerequisite is that you can withstand the tempering of the heart fire. If you fail, then there is nothing to say.

However, this thing is of no use to Lu Yu, who is already an eight-star Dou Wang. What's more, Lu Yu has the juvenile stage of the Fallen Heart Flame in his hand, so he has no shortage of heart fire at all.

"Are you participating?" Lu Yu asked doubtfully.

"I'm not participating." Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Yanran will participate."

Nalan Yanran pursed her lips, looking a little depressed. She had been staying in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower for the past few months, and now she was only a three-star Dou Ling.

Xiao Yan and Lu Yu, both of them have reached Dou Wang, but the stronger one is Lu Yu, an eight-star Dou Wang, stronger than his own grandfather.

This was a big blow to her as she had been known as a genius since childhood.

In fact, Nalan Yanran's cultivation speed is already very fast. It has been only half a year since she entered the inner courtyard, and her strength has reached three-star Dou Ling, which is not much inferior to the two geniuses Hu Jia and Wu Hao.

In the original novel, her strength has always been good. When Xiao Yan went to Yunlan Sect for revenge, she came out of the Yunlan Sect's Gate of Life and Death and her strength reached that of a Dou Wang.

When they met in Zhongzhou a few years later, Nalan Yanran had the strength of Douhuang, only a few stars behind Xiao Yan.

But then again, what exactly is the Yunlan Sect’s Gate of Life and Death?

"A letter from your teacher." Nalan Yanran suddenly came back to her senses, remembered the important matter, and then threw out a letter and said unhappily.

It was not directed at Lu Yu, but at Yun Yun. This woman didn't write the letter to herself, but only to her man!

As expected, once you have a man, you forget about your apprentice, haha, women!

"Huh?" Lu Yu asked in surprise. The familiar scent on the letter made him fascinated.

Yun Yun took the letter and started reading it. In the letter, she expressed her longing for him. Calculating the time, it has been almost half a year since Lu Yu came to Canaan College from the Jia Ma Empire. After not seeing him for half a year, Lu Yu missed him a lot.

Yun Yun also talked about her recent situation in her heart. She was a seven-star Douhuang and had been promoted to another star level in just a few months.

In addition to the resource dividends brought by the expansion of the Gama Empire, high-intensity combat is also one of the reasons for the improvement of strength.

During this period, the situation changed after the Gama Empire divided the Mulan Empire. The Luoyan Empire brought in the Izumo Empire to fight against the alliance between the Gama Empire and the Snake People.

Under the siege of the original forces of the Izumo Empire, Xiao Yixian's Poison Sect directly allied with the Gama Empire and the Snake People. Now the Izumo Empire has been split into two parts.

The two sides fought endlessly. There was no major battle, but small battles continued. This provided Yun Yun with plenty of fighting opportunities, and her strength was gradually improving.

The same is true for the Snakeman tribe. With a large number of battles and the elixirs provided by the Gama Empire, the leaders of the eight tribes have all improved significantly, and there are even a few more Fighting Kings in the tribe.

Lu Yu frowned slightly. It seemed that the current situation of the Jia Ma Empire was not very critical, so he would continue to practice... Mainly, it would be a bit embarrassing if he couldn't beat Xiao Yixiang, so Lu Yu didn't want to go back.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu walked around the Holy Gate for a few times, and when he found that there was nothing he needed to do, he returned to Zi Yan's residence. He didn't know whether Medusa and Zi Yan were still quarreling.

However, when they entered Zi Yan's small manor, Zi Yan was already asleep. She was depleted of energy and blood, and she needed more rest to recover. Medusa was still there, guarding Zi Yan.

But as soon as Lu Yu entered the room, her eyes turned and she looked at Lu Yu from head to toe in confusion. She smelled a very faint feminine scent on Lu Yu, which seemed a little strange.

"Where... have you been?" Medusa frowned and asked with some displeasure.

"This is Canaan College, where else can I go?" Lu Yu spread his hands and said helplessly: "The senior sisters are a bit enthusiastic and always come to me."

As he said this, he chuckled and looked at Medusa.

Hearing this, Medusa's eyes flashed with coldness, and her plump figure instantly sat up straight. She was about to slam the table and stand up, but when she raised her head, she saw the meaningful smile on Lu Yu's face.

Medusa's expression suddenly froze, and then she snorted coldly, turned around and ignored Lu Yu.

This guy did it on purpose. If a girl took advantage of him, how could he have such a small scent? If he didn't want to be taken advantage of by girls, who else in Canaan College would touch him?

So, this bastard did it on purpose!

"Your Majesty seems to care about me a lot?" Lu Yu chuckled and sat down next to Medusa.

"Hmph... You think too highly of yourself!" Medusa sneered, her pretty face full of indifference, as if the tenderness she had felt during this period of time had never existed.

"It's nothing, actually. Sister Yun sent me a letter." Lu Yu chuckled and took out Yun Yun's letter and shook it.

Medusa's eyes flickered, she glanced at the letter, and quickly looked away.

"What does it have to do with this king?"

It was indeed the smell from above... Medusa felt relieved and no longer paid attention to Lu Yu.

"Your Majesty, would you like to take a look?" Lu Yu asked with a smile.

"Why should I read the letter Yun Yun sent you?" Medusa looked at it with disdain and sneered at Lu Yu's words.

"It contains information about the latest developments in the Gama Empire and the changes in the snake people." Lu Yu chuckled.

Medusa's pretty face froze, her eyes flickered, and then she raised her hand and snatched the letter.

【Xiao Yu, I miss you...】

"..."

The first sentence she saw and the beautiful handwriting on the letter made Medusa's temples throb, but then she thought, she didn't seem to have the right to be angry...

Even more angry!

Medusa took a deep breath and skipped directly to the part about the snake people. After a while, her eyebrows slowly frowned, but soon, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.

Why did she risk being burned to ashes by the strange fire and evolve forcefully?

The purpose is to bring the snake people out of the barren and dangerous desert so that her people can have a better living environment.

Now, the snake people have finally come out of the desert and are finally living a normal life!

"Are you happy?" Lu Yu chuckled.

"Yunshan did a great job." Medusa nodded slowly. The reason why Yunshan brought the Snake People into the fold was naturally because of her, the Snake People's queen who had already advanced to the Dou Zong level. If it weren't for this, her Snake People would probably be the first to be divided up!

"When are you going back?" Medusa asked. Lu Yu's strength has reached the level of an eight-star Dou Wang. It is useless for him to stay in Canaan Academy with this level of strength.

"No rush, I'll go back after I become the Douhuang." Lu Yu said with a smile.

Medusa frowned, somewhat puzzled, but did not ask further questions.

She knew Lu Yu's training speed, and it wouldn't take too long for him to be promoted to Dou Huang. On the contrary, she needed to practice harder, otherwise she would soon be overtaken by Lu Yu.

This is not something in the distant future, but something that will happen in the near future.

Medusa rubbed her smooth eyebrows. She could not change the fact. Perhaps in the near future, Lu Yu would no longer need her.

"This won't do..." Medusa muttered to herself, but she had no solution... Could it be dual cultivation? She had read the jade slips and knew the method of cultivation...

"!!" A blush flashed across Medusa's pretty face, and she quickly suppressed this strange thought. She would never practice dual cultivation with Lu Yu!

But speaking of cultivation... Medusa raised her eyebrows. She hadn't even looked at the colorful raw stone she got!

Thinking of this, Medusa pulled Lu Yu up and said, "Come on, follow me into the house..."

"Ah?" Lu Yu was dumbfounded. What was going on?

"I want to see the colorful raw stones!"

Medusa's next words followed immediately, and Lü Yu's eyes flashed with disappointment. So that's how it was...

"Ahem... wait a moment." Lu Yu stood up, set up a protective formation for Zi Yan's sleeping room, and then took Medusa to find a quiet room.

Zi Yan's small manor was obviously designed for hidden training and has several secret rooms for training.

In the secret room, the two men sat opposite each other. Lu Yu waved his hand and took out a colored stone emitting colorful light. The special energy contained in the colorful raw stone was a great tonic for the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. Thoroughly refining and absorbing it would definitely allow Medusa's strength to reach a higher level.

This is the only way she could find to quickly improve her strength.

Looking at the colorful stone emitting light in front of her, Medusa smiled faintly: "Let me tell you a piece of news, the peak of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is not just seven colors..."

"It's nine colors, right?" Lu Yu chuckled.

"How do you know?" Medusa was stunned.

"I have a special source of information!" Lu Yu said with a chuckle.

Medusa couldn't help but curled her lips in disbelief. She had been with Lu Yu for such a long time, but she had never seen Lu Yu go out to get any intelligence. This statement was most likely a lie.

But...if that's the case, how does this bastard know so many secrets?

"A mysterious man..." Medusa muttered.

"Then do you know what I'm going to do next?" Medusa raised her head and asked somewhat unconvinced.

"Let's see if this thing is an eight-color or nine-color raw stone?" Lu Yu chuckled.

"You...you even know this?" Medusa was really shocked this time.

"Your Majesty, you don't have many secrets from me..." Lu Yu laughed, looking very proud.

"..."

Medusa was speechless. If that was the case, then you shouldn't talk to me so complacently. Instead, you should use a gentler approach...

Shaking her head, Medusa thought to herself that this man did not understand women's thoughts. She immediately put aside all distracting thoughts and drew a line with her fingertips. Bright red blood dripped from her fingertips onto the colorful raw stones.

The blood dripped, and the original seven-color pattern slowly moved. After a while, a new pattern slowly appeared.

"Eight colors..." Excitement flashed across Medusa's pretty face. If possible, she might have a second evolution.

Lu Yu didn't say anything, staring at the raw stone. In the original book, it had nine colors. Although it was not the same piece, but... my luck couldn't be that bad, right?

However, after staring for a while, Lu Yu still didn't see any new colored patterns appearing, and couldn't help feeling disappointed. As expected, someone's luck wasn't very good.

However, although he could not see the ninth colored pattern, Lu Yu frowned, as he had made a new discovery.

Shrinking his waist and abdomen, Lü Yu frowned and reminded: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this eight-color raw stone. You'd better take another look."

His fist hardened...

It was the original stone that did the trick. Snakes are naturally lustful. In the original novel, Xiao Yan used a lot of snake saliva to make aphrodisiacs.

On this raw stone, Lu Yu felt some erotic power that affected people's minds...commonly known as aphrodisiac!

Medusa was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned slightly red, and she explained: "This... is actually normal. The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python has always had the ability to charm people. These are normal phenomena."

"Oh, so that's it..." Lu Yu suddenly realized.

"Huh? You didn't know that?" Medusa was shocked and glanced at Lu Yu: "Your special intelligence didn't mention this?"

Lü Yu: “…”

This isn't in the plot...

"Ahem...Okay, Your Majesty, be careful." After saying that, he patted his butt and left. Lu Yu conveniently set up a defensive protection formation in the secret room to protect it.

"I hope nothing unexpected happens..." Lu Yu murmured. He was somewhat averse to unknown things.

……

Izumo Empire, Tiandu City, this is the capital of the Izumo Empire.

The sky is clear and the weather is sunny, but the residents of this city don't like this kind of weather. They prefer cold and damp weather.

At this moment, a faint black mist, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, flashed over Tiandu City.
