Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 80 What a damn man!

Mastering the Medusa Queen is both incredibly difficult and incredibly easy.

This extremely proud and beautiful serpent is not only powerful, but also has a rather unique personality. To subdue her, one needs not only the absolute strength to conquer her, but also the ability to precisely exploit her weaknesses.

ethnic groups!

Therefore, when Lin Ran offered an entire empire as a habitat for the snake people, Medusa was moved.

She longed for her people to have a better living environment and to be able to escape this desert.

Lin Ran gave her a possibility, an opportunity!

Besides, she didn't have a choice, did she?

Having reconciled the yin and yang balance and reached an agreement with the beautiful snake, Lin Ran left the Holy Temple Island with satisfaction and arrived in the Snake People's Holy City, where he found Qing Lin, Little Fairy Doctor, and others.

Medusa returned to the Serpent People's Temple to find the four elders.

Lin Ran's promise may seem like just a word, but for the entire Snake-Man tribe, it concerns the future fate of the entire tribe!

Although Medusa held absolute power within the Serpent People tribe, she still needed to discuss such an important matter with the four elders to determine how to proceed.

The two little girls, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, listened to Lin Ran very well.

They did not wander around the Snake People's Holy City, but instead focused on cultivating in their own residences.

Especially Little Fairy Doctor.

Upon learning that Qinglin could continuously receive cultivation feedback even without cultivation, relying on the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, Little Fairy Doctor felt immense pressure. Although she could also become stronger by taking medicine, it was a passive skill, while hers was an active skill!

This young woman is extremely strong-willed. Although she deeply sympathizes with Qinglin's plight and has already accepted her joining Lin Ran's team as a partner, she is still very strong-willed.

But in her heart, she was Lin Ran's number one maid!

"Only I can serve you so well, young master, and solve your problems, in every way!"

Including on the battlefield.

Under pressure from Qing Lin, the future Heavenly Poison Girl even considered taking large doses of drugs to unlock her full potential, but she remembered Lin Ran's instructions.

Poisonous Qi can be increased at any time, but Ice Venerable Force is the core of cultivation!

"Buzzing..."

The Little Fairy Doctor sat cross-legged on the cyan lotus throne with her eyes closed. The blue-purple Ice Venerable Force continuously emitted a chilling aura, lowering the temperature of the lotus throne beneath her.

Open your mouth.

Lin Ran's voice rang out, and Little Fairy Doctor subconsciously opened her mouth. A stream of azure light shot out from Lin Ran's storage ring and fell into Little Fairy Doctor's mouth.

As soon as the cyan light entered her mouth, Little Fairy Doctor's fair face suddenly turned rosy, and wisps of white smoke appeared above her head, as if she had a high fever, which looked quite frightening.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor naturally didn't care about her appearance. The moment the blue light, or rather the earth fire lotus seed, entered her mouth, it quickly transformed into a stream of scorching energy. Then, it slammed down her throat and forcefully merged into Little Fairy Doctor's meridians.

The scorching energy transformed from the Earth Fire Lotus Seed rapidly flowed into her meridians. This scalding energy was like boiling water poured into a frozen wasteland for her; the intense burning sensation and pain stung her mind and spirit, causing Little Fairy Doctor to clench her teeth and break out in a cold sweat.

The body sitting cross-legged on the lotus throne trembled slightly, and every pore on its body tightened abruptly due to the intense pain.

"Don't try to absorb it directly. Although the Earth Fire Lotus Seed is full of energy, its element is incompatible with yours. Use your Ice Venerable Force to melt this energy!"

Lin Ran's voice suddenly rang in Little Fairy Doctor's ears.

Little Fairy Doctor gritted her teeth, desperately urging her Ice Venerable Force to resist the energy of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed.

However, the scorching energy transformed from the Earth Fire Lotus Seed was so domineering that it was terrifying. Even though Little Fairy Doctor tried her best to wrap it with Ice Venerable Force, her meridians were still burned and damaged by the scorching temperature along the way.

Meridians are the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Once injured, the damage to the body is enormous, and repairing them is extremely difficult.

Her meridians were damaged, and Little Fairy Doctor's face, which had turned red from the high temperature, had turned deathly pale. The intense pain made Little Fairy Doctor's brows furrow, but she still persevered.

"Open your mouth!"

Lin Ran's voice rang out again, and Little Fairy Doctor opened her small mouth, and another Earth Fire Lotus Seed transformed into a stream of blue light and disappeared into it.

The intense fire energy grew stronger, and the burning pain from her meridians intensified. Little Fairy Doctor herself trembled constantly, almost collapsing.

Just then, Lin Ran's voice rang out again.

Open your mouth.

Little Fairy Doctor painstakingly separated her pearly teeth, and a blood-red pill flew into them, melting instantly in her mouth.

The next moment, the pill transformed into a slightly cold energy, which quickly penetrated into the meridians throughout Little Fairy Doctor's body, eventually seeping into her meridians and bones like layers of blood film.

As the blood membrane seeped in, Little Fairy Doctor's delicate body suddenly trembled violently, and streaks of blood kept gushing out from her pores. In the blink of an eye, her fair and lovely body was covered with a layer of crimson blood, which looked extremely terrifying.

The blood quickly congealed shortly after it appeared, eventually forming a blood-red stratum corneum. This stratum corneum not only covered Little Fairy Doctor's hands and feet, but also completely sealed her eyes.

The blood-red stratum corneum, like a set of airtight blood-red armor, completely protected Little Fairy Doctor.

The Blood Lotus Pill, a fifth-grade elixir, can protect the body's meridians and resist high temperatures. Even the terrifying temperature of a strange fire can be partially blocked. It is an essential item when devouring a strange fire with power equivalent to that ranked fifteenth or lower on the Strange Fire Ranking.

At this moment, however, Lin Ran was using this pill for Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation, which was truly a luxury.

As soon as the Blood Lotus Pill entered her stomach, Little Fairy Doctor felt a sudden relief from the pressure. The scorching heat of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed was unable to burn through the blood-red keratin formed by the Blood Lotus Pill, and it was firmly wrapped within her meridians.

Just as Little Fairy Doctor was about to relax, Lin Ran's voice rang out like an alarm bell.

"Don't let your guard down. Use the Ice Venerable Force to slowly erode the fire attribute energy in your meridians, bit by bit."

"Um!"

Little Fairy Doctor responded with a soft "hmm," forcibly perking herself up and, following Lin Ran's instructions, began to erode the energy of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed within her body using the Ice Venerable Force.

Her energy expenditure was enormous, and she had very little Ice Venerable Force left in her body. However, Lin Ran forbade Little Fairy Doctor from using Poisonous Force, so she could only squeeze out as much Ice Venerable Force as possible.

The fire-attribute energy of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed was gradually eroded by Little Fairy Doctor's Ice Venerable Force. The scorching energy gradually dissipated, replaced by drops of emerald-like liquid, each less than the size of a thumb.

These liquids adhered to the walls of the meridians, wriggling slightly like living things, and then dissolved into them at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the emerald liquid, brimming with immense life energy, was incorporated, the meridian walls, which had been scorched red-hot and were even somewhat damaged, began to rapidly repair themselves.

After merging with the Ice Venerable Force, it actually solidified into a layer of ice-blue energy film!

Upon closer inspection, the meridians covering this icy blue energy film were found to have increased in toughness by several levels, and the amount of battle qi they could withstand and contain had also been greatly enhanced!

Unfortunately, the energy from the two Earth Fire Lotus Seeds was insufficient to completely cover all the meridians in Little Fairy Doctor's body. After attaching to most of the main meridians, the scorching energy was completely exhausted.

A moment later, Little Fairy Doctor slowly opened her eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and looked at Lin Ran in front of her with great joy.

"Young Master!"

"You've worked hard." Lin Ran smiled gently and ruffled Little Fairy Doctor's hair. This kind of cultivation that strengthens the meridians is not easy. Ordinary people simply cannot endure it, but Little Fairy Doctor gritted her teeth and persevered.

Lin Ran understood as pure Yang fighting spirit surged.

"After about three more sessions, all the meridians in your body will be fully strengthened. At that time, both the Ice Venerable Force and the Poison Battle Qi will be greatly enhanced."

"However, to prevent drug resistance and the damage that the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds can cause to your body, this kind of cultivation should be done in seven-day cycles."

"I'll do as you say, young master."

Little Fairy Doctor revealed her sweet little tiger teeth, which made Qinglin, who was standing to the side, envious.

"Azure Scales".

"Hey!"

Upon hearing the call, Qinglin, who had been waiting, quickly stood up and looked at Lin Ran expectantly.

That pitiful look of hers was so touching that Lin Ran couldn't help but pinch Qing Lin's little cheek.

"Your fighting skills and fighting spirit will be taught by Green Robe, so I won't interfere too much. She comes from the Heavenly Serpent Palace and knows more about snake-related techniques and fighting skills than I do. Just listen to her teachings."

"However, how are you progressing with the things I gave you before?"

"There are young masters who are cultivating." Qinglin quickly nodded and replied.

"Is that so? Come here and relax."

Lin Ran beckoned, and Qing Lin obediently came to Lin Ran's side, looking like she was ready to be picked.

Lin Ran's palm landed on Qing Lin's head. The next moment, an invisible force surged out from Lin Ran's body. Qing Lin suddenly felt his head go empty and his mind trembled. The Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil in his emerald green eyes opened automatically.

With its heterochromatic eyes protecting its master, Lin Ran's soul invasion directly activated Qing Lin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eyes.

The two souls came into contact and collided, causing Qinglin to tremble slightly. However, Qinglin actively suppressed the power of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, allowing Lin Ran's soul to merge into her body.

"Is this the young master's soul aura? So domineering, so fierce, so fiery..."

Qinglin murmured to herself, as if some inexplicable thoughts were arising in her mind, instantly turning her fair face pink.

Lin Ran was naturally unaware of the chaotic thoughts swirling in Qing Lin's little head; at this moment, he was sensing the strength of Qing Lin's soul.

Because of her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, Qing Lin's soul strength was already far superior to that of ordinary people. In addition, after cultivating the Soul Nourishing Technique these past few days, Qing Lin's soul strength has been greatly enhanced.

Soul strength at the mid-stage of the mortal realm!

"Very good. Come on, try using the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil on me to unleash the Myriad Flower Dark Pupil."

"this……"

Having gained Lin Ran's approval clearly made the little girl extremely happy, but when she heard Lin Ran's request, Qing Lin's expression changed slightly, and she hesitated.

"What's wrong? Haven't you mastered the Myriad Flower Nether Eye yet?" Lin Ran asked curiously. "That's true. After all, it's a high-level Earth-rank combat skill. You've only been practicing it for half a month. It's indeed a bit difficult to master it."

"No, young master, I can already use the Myriad Flower Nether Eyes."

Qinglin shook her head and whispered, "But, but..."

Seeing Qinglin's appearance, Lin Ran became curious and only understood after asking her some questions.

Just as he had initially predicted, the Myriad Flower Dark Eyes combat technique was practically tailor-made for Qing Lin, who possessed the Azure Serpent Three Flower Eyes. After a few attempts, Qing Lin was already able to use this high-level Earth-rank combat technique in its initial stages.

The reason for his hesitant and evasive manner was simply because Qinglin felt that the Wanhua Mingtong fighting technique was too domineering and powerful, and he was afraid of hurting Lin Ran.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. If he, a dignified Spirit Realm Soul, were to be injured by this little girl, that would be the most ridiculous thing in the world!

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can handle."

Lin Ran gently ruffled Qing Lin's hair and said in a gentle tone, "Besides, how can I formulate a good training plan for you if I don't know your progress?"

"But... alright, young master, be careful."

Qinglin pursed her lips. To lay a hand on the young master was undoubtedly a major taboo in her heart. Even if the young master had given the order, Qinglin would still consider it a great disrespect to him. However, given Lin Ran's insistence, she had no choice but to give up.

Let's make an exception this time, but only once!

Qinglin muttered to herself, taking a deep breath as she looked into Lin Ran's dark, deep eyes, her emerald-like, three-flowered jade snake pupils meeting his gaze.

"Wan Hua! Photo!"

With a low shout from Qinglin, their eyes met, and in an instant, Lin Ran felt as if the world around him shattered like a mirror, as if a sharp needle had pierced his spirit!

The shattered world brought a moment of confusion and dizziness, but in the next moment, all of this was swept into the trash can by Lin Ran's soul power, just like dust.

"Although it was only for a moment, it actually managed to affect me, someone with a spiritual soul. Is this the mental impact amplified by the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil?"

Lin Ran was overjoyed and was about to speak when Qing Lin spoke again, her Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils becoming even more ghostly!

Is there more to the story?

"Kwanaku! Take it!"

Under Lin Ran's surprised gaze, a wave of dizziness surged forth.

This time, Lin Ran tried his best to restrain his power and carefully felt everything about this move.

A wave of darkness, filled with dizziness and confusion, swept over Lin Ran. A cold and damp feeling enveloped Lin Ran's mind. As the whole world was shrouded in chaotic darkness, Lin Ran suddenly felt a strong tearing sensation.

"Such domineering power!"

Lin Ran was extremely surprised. He tried to contact the power that was tearing at his soul, but in just an instant, Qing Lin's face turned pale. With a cry of pain, Qing Lin covered her eyes, and tears of blood streamed down her face!

"Azure Scales!"

"Little Sister Qinglin!"

Green Robe and Little Fairy Doctor rushed forward, their faces full of worry. Lin Ran also came back to his senses from the illusion and sighed softly as he looked at Qing Lin.

Qing Lin's talent is beyond doubt. In less than a month, he has mastered the high-level Earth-rank combat skill, Myriad Flower Dark Eye, to such an extent.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength between Lin Ran and Qing Lin was too great, and their spiritual realms were also far apart.

If it were someone of the same level, no, even a Dou Wang or Dou Huang, as long as their soul realm hadn't broken through to the Spirit Realm, they might not be able to escape unscathed from Qing Lin's attack!

"Relax."

Lin Ran gently stroked Qing Lin's hair, wiping away the blood and tears from the corners of Qing Lin's eyes. His powerful soul energy flowed into her, soothing Qing Lin's spirit, which had been damaged by the backlash.

With a slight movement of his palm, a jade bottle appeared in Lin Ran's hand. The stopper was opened, and the entire room was immediately filled with a faint, calming fragrance.

"This is……"

The woman in green looked surprised, and Little Fairy Doctor covered her mouth, letting out a suppressed gasp: "The medicinal juice refined from the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Saliva?!"

"Come on, open your mouth."

Lin Ran spoke softly, and Qing Lin, whose spirit was damaged, opened her small mouth in a daze. Lin Ran used his fighting spirit to pour the seven-colored dew from the jade bottle into Qing Lin's mouth.

As the seven-colored dew entered her stomach, a seven-colored hue immediately appeared on Qinglin's slightly pale face, which looked somewhat similar to when Little Fairy Doctor took medicine to cultivate the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, although the two were fundamentally different.

The seven colors on Qinglin's face didn't last long, disappearing completely after a few seconds. Qinglin's pale face also warmed up quickly, and after a few breaths, she opened her eyes again, still somewhat dazed.

"Young Master..."

"Young Master is here."

Lin Ran gently held Qing Lin in his arms. After confirming with his soul perception that Qing Lin was alright, he pinched Qing Lin's little face and smiled, "Your mastery of the Myriad Flower Nether Eyes is really beyond my expectations. I don't even need to devise a cultivation plan for you."

"As long as you continue to cultivate steadily according to your current method, it's only a matter of time before you become a top-tier expert."

"Really?" Qinglin blinked.

She has a gentle personality and lacks self-confidence, but receiving Lin Ran's approval seems to have given her a lot of motivation.

"However, I still have to remind you, Qinglin," Lin Ran said softly. "Although your Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is outstanding, and even more powerful when paired with the Myriad Flower Dark Pupil, if you really encounter those whose strength far surpasses yours, the first thing you should do is retreat."

"The clash of spirit and soul is different from the collision of fighting spirit. That kind of power is too pure. Once it comes into contact, it is a battle of life and death."

"I don't want to lose a maid."

Qinglin blushed and nodded, "Qinglin understands, young master, don't worry."

"Um."

Lin Ran nodded in satisfaction.

Neither Qinglin nor Xiaoyixian disappointed him; on the contrary, these two girls brought him great surprises.

Whether it's Little Fairy Doctor or Qinglin, if they continue to grow in the current way, Lin Ran can guarantee that they will surpass them from the same period in the original work, without any problem!

"It seems you've finished absorbing the Imperial Extreme Pill as well?"

Lin Ran's gaze shifted, and he looked at the woman in green.

Originally, Green Robe's strength was a one-star Dou Huang, but in Lin Ran's perception, Green Robe had now broken through to two stars, and his foundation was solid, which was obviously the result of absorbing the entire Huangji Pill.

"Thanks to your blessing, sir, I successfully absorbed it."

The man in green nodded respectfully.

The Royal Extreme Pill that Lin Ran gave her was surprisingly effective. It not only helped her break through to the first star level, but also consolidated her foundation and greatly increased her strength.

"Great, wait, where's White Teeth?"

"It... uh, after taking the Imperial Pill, it also successfully broke through, and then went straight to the Snake People's Temple to find Queen Medusa's body."

The woman in green paused, then continued, "However, for some reason, Queen Medusa is not in the temple. Coincidentally, the four snake-man elders have greatly weakened due to depletion of their essence and blood, and are no match for him at all, so he has decided to stay in the snake-man temple and refuse to leave."

"..."

Lin Ran's lips twitched slightly. Queen Medusa had been locked in a fierce battle with him on the island all night, so she was naturally not in the temple. But that idiot actually refused to leave the Snake-Man Temple, and now he was probably...

"boom!!"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

A terrifying seven-colored energy shot straight into the sky, and a dark figure was blasted away like a shooting star by the energy.

Lin Ran sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. This idiot was really stupid. Maybe he should just get rid of him or give him to Qing Lin as a power bank.

With one step, Lin Ran's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

In the sky, a vast expanse of seven-colored energy surged forth from Medusa's body like a tidal wave, finally descending from the sky like a seven-colored curtain, with her figure positioned in the center of the curtain.

She gripped the seven-colored serpentine longsword tightly in her hand, while in front of her, White Fang looked utterly miserable.

The snake's body was mangled, its scales torn to shreds, and blood was gushing from several holes pierced by sharp swords. Even the single horn on its head was reduced to a fragment.

"How dare you cause trouble at the Serpent People's Temple, White Fang! You're courting death!"

Medusa remained cold and aloof. After being tormented by Lin Ran for a whole day and night, even someone as proud as her was naturally burning with resentment.

However, because Lin Ran was too powerful, and because she was concerned about the future of the snake people tribe, Medusa could only endure it. After Lin Ran left, she hurriedly wanted to find the four elders to discuss the matter of their future habitat.

Unexpectedly, I saw White Fang causing trouble.

"Oops! It's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!"

Feeling the terrifying aura and chilling killing intent emanating from Queen Medusa, White Fang shuddered and hurriedly spoke.

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, you dare to call it a misunderstanding after trespassing on my Serpent People's Temple without cause?"

"Go to hell!"

Medusa's longsword emitted a clear sword cry, then suddenly trembled, instantly creating a dense array of afterimages. Accompanied by suffocating seven-colored energy, countless sword shadows shot out, sweeping towards White Fang.

Damn it, something terrible has happened...

White Fang trembled, his snake eyes filled with despair. He had originally planned to show off after breaking through, but now he was going to risk his life!

However, just as Bai Ya was waiting to die, a layer of emerald-gold battle aura suddenly appeared on his body, blocking all the overwhelming sword shadows.

Medusa's expression changed slightly, and White Fang was momentarily stunned before overjoyed.

"Boss! You've come to save me, boss! I knew you wouldn't abandon me... Ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, White Fang's body was suddenly slammed into the ground by an irresistible force. The intense pain caused him to let out a shrill scream, and thick smoke billowed out.

Looking at the figure that appeared in front of her, Medusa snorted coldly and sheathed her longsword.

"Isn't he the youngest guest elder of the Heavenly Serpent Palace? Why does he call you 'boss'?"

"I collected it to use as a mount because I was bored."

Lin Ran smiled and walked to Medusa's side. Amidst Medusa's resistant, struggling, and troubled expression, he skillfully put his arm around her fair waist: "There is another Dou Huang in the Holy City who is also one of my people. You should have already sensed it by now."

"They mean nothing to you, so why bother recruiting them as subordinates?"

"I can't do all the dirty and tiring work myself. Besides, although this power is of little use to me, it is a considerable force to you."

Medusa's expression shifted slightly: "You mean to say..."

"Boss, what are you doing? I'm your most loyal Little White Tooth! Why are you hitting me... Huh?!"

The silly howl interrupted Lin Ran's conversation with Medusa. A surge of air caused White Fang to hoarsely fly up, flapping his eight wings. But before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Ran embracing Medusa and his snake eyes widened in disbelief.

"What?! Boss, you...you...you!"

"Go to the temple and seek forgiveness from the four elders."

"oh……"

Lin Ran's calm voice rang out, and Bai Ya immediately wilted like an eggplant, lowering his head and limping unsteadily as he flew towards the Snake People's Holy City.

As she flew, tears streamed down her face, and she mumbled incoherent words, something about her lost youth...

"This simpleton has eaten a demon transformation pill, so he's practically a snake-man. He's just not very bright, but if he joined the snake-man tribe, he'd be a decent fighting force."

Watching Bai Ya's departing figure, Lin Ran smiled and said, "Why don't you go within the clan and pick out a suitable one for him, and make arrangements?"

"Join the snake people tribe?"

Medusa furrowed her brows slightly, and began to consider it carefully.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Queen is a top-tier serpent in terms of both strength and bloodline, no weaker than her previous Purple Flame Serpent. Joining the Serpent Tribe would indeed be a good idea.

"Oh, right!"

As if struck by a thought, Medusa suddenly raised her head: "What do you plan to do with that Yunlan Sect Master?"

"Little Yunyun..."

The image of a beautiful woman appeared in Lin Ran's mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. That look made Queen Medusa next to him let out a cold snort.

What a damn man!

There was a slight mishap today, so I only have one chapter. I'll make up for it with 15,000 words tomorrow!
