People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

If I could get in touch with Xiao Ling again and maintain a good relationship with him, perhaps after his alchemy skills break through to the seventh level, I could ask him to help me refine a seventh-level pill, the "Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill."

Although Medusa has broken through to the Dou Zong realm, she clearly feels that her potential has reached its ceiling.

If there is no God-given opportunity, it would be difficult to make further progress in cultivation in this lifetime.

Thinking back to when he was in the womb, the snake people were still weak, and the gestational pill they used was only the sixth-grade "Snake Marrow Bone-Shedding Pill".

If the more advanced seventh-grade "Heavenly Soul Blood-Melting Pill" could be prepared for the next generation of Medusa, then her potential would definitely surpass herself and she would have the possibility of breaking through to the Dou Zun level.

Medusa gently raised her pair of eyes full of wisdom and looked at Yue Mei, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone: "Yue Mei, pay close attention to Xiao Ling's movements, and try to establish contact with him once you have the chance."

"If he returns to the Gama Empire, remember to notify me immediately."

Yue Mei nodded in agreement, her voice firm: "As you command, Queen, I understand. But Xiao Ling is from the Jia Ma Empire after all, and he lives in Canaan College. It may not be easy to establish contact with him."

Medusa snorted coldly, with a determined look in her eyes: "As long as it is beneficial to our snake people, we must face up to any difficulties. If we can get his help, the future of our snake people will be even brighter."

Yue Mei responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen has a far-sighted vision. I will do my best to fulfill my mission."

Medusa nodded slightly, her eyes returning to their deep and boundless state. She turned to look at Hua She'er beside her and asked calmly and forcefully, "Hua She'er, since I began my retreat, have the surrounding countries made any unusual moves or shown any unusual signs?"

When Hua She'er heard Medusa's question, he quickly answered respectfully,

"Your Majesty, everything is normal in the Jia Ma Empire. They have just sent a few Dou Wang to guard the border of the Tager Desert as usual. However, there seems to be some unusual contact between the Mulan Empire, Luoyan Empire and Chuyun Empire."

"According to my subordinates' investigation, they seem to be planning something secretly, the details of which have not yet been ascertained. Judging from their actions, this is definitely not just an ordinary communication."

Medusa narrowed her eyes slightly and said solemnly: "Pay close attention to their movements and never let the interests of the snake people be harmed in the slightest. If there is any disturbance, report it immediately."

Hua She'er quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission."

With a wave of her sleeves, Medusa signaled Hua Sheer to retreat, and then fell into deep thought again.

After pondering for a moment, a clear plan gradually emerged in Medusa's mind.

Since the Mulan Empire, Luoyan Empire and Chuyun Empire seem to be plotting something in secret, the Snake People may be able to seek cooperation with the Gama Empire after she successfully breaks through to the Dou Zong level.

She knew very well that for the future development of the snake people, it was crucial to seize a territory from the Monster Mountains.

The snake people have a cold constitution, and the hot and dry environment of the Tager Desert is not suitable for them to live in for a long time.

In comparison, the climate in the Monster Mountains of the Gama Empire is humid, which is undoubtedly an ideal habitat for the snake people.

Medusa pondered her friendship with Zi Yan and the indispensable help Xiao Ling provided on her path to a Dou Zong breakthrough, and she realized that it was not wise to use force to oppress the Jia Ma Empire.

Once the relationship with Xiao Ling is damaged, it will not only affect the future trading cooperation between the two parties, but may even cause conflicts and lead to hostility with Xiao Ling. This will undoubtedly add a lot of unnecessary troubles and risks to the Snake People.

And the relationship between himself and Xiao Ling might serve as a bridge to establish an alliance with the Gama Empire.

Medusa thought to herself:

"Although the people of the Gama Empire have many conflicts with the Snake People, facing the potential threat of the three major empires and the goodwill of the Snake People, they may also be willing to work hand in hand with us Snake People."

"If we can successfully form an alliance, we will not only be able to obtain the territory of the Monster Mountain Range, but we will also be able to strengthen each other's strength and jointly fight against foreign invasions."

Thinking of this, Medusa came up with a plan in her mind. She decided to wait for Xiao Ling to return, and then send an envoy to contact the Gama Empire to find out the other party's position.

If this plan can be realized, the future of the snake people will undoubtedly open a new chapter.

The more Medusa thought about this plan, the more feasible it seemed to her.

A gleam of determination flashed across that beautiful face, and a detailed blueprint had already been outlined in his mind.

……

In that mysterious and magnificent ancient world, a solemn and magnificent meeting hall stands tall.

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy. The Dou Sheng elders of the ancient clan sat in their respective seats with serious expressions on their faces.

At this solemn moment, the sound of light footsteps broke the silence, and Gu Xun'er's elegant figure slowly walked into the hall.

She has a graceful figure and an otherworldly temperament, as if she is a peerless blue lotus blooming from the fairyland.

Gu Xun'er's return made the originally solemn elders smile with relief, and their eyes were filled with kindness and joy.

"Xun'er is finally back!" A white-haired old man spoke first, his joy evident in his words.

This old man is Gu Dao, one of the three immortals of the ancient clan.

"After returning from this training, I wonder if Xun'er is having a good time in the outside world? Is there anything that is not going well for her?"

The next person to speak was a burly middle-aged man. He was the Black Annihilation King of the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army. A powerful man with strength reaching the early stage of the Eight-Star Fighting Saint. He was also the supreme commander of the Black Annihilation Army, second only to the clan leader Gu Yuan.

Gu Xun'er smiled and bowed respectfully to Gu Yuan who was sitting in the first seat, "Father."

Then he bowed to the other elders present one by one.

"Thank you for your concern, elders. Xun'er is doing well and is living a happy life outside." Gu Xun'er replied softly.

Her smile is like the warm sunshine in spring, which warms people's hearts.

The head of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yuan, who was sitting at the head of the group, had a look of pride and concern in his eyes. He said, "Xun'er, come here and let your father take a good look at you."

Hearing Gu Yuan's call, Gu Xun'er walked lightly to Gu Yuan's side.

"Do you have anything new to share with us this time when you come back?" Gu Yuan looked at his precious daughter, with a smile on his face, and asked kindly.

Gu Xun'er nodded slightly and began to recount her experiences in the Xiao family and Canaan College. The atmosphere in the meeting hall became relaxed and harmonious.

Chapter 172 Gu Yang

Gu Xun'er's conversation with the elders of the clan was conducted gently in the hall. The elders praised her for her cultivation level which was close to the Douhuang realm at such a young age.

"Xun'er, your talent is indeed extraordinary. The ancient clan is expected to reach a higher level under your leadership. Maybe, Xun'er, you can restore the glory of our ancestors in the future." An elder said kindly.

"Yes, your achievement is not only a personal honor, but also the pride of our ancient clan." Another elder also praised.

At this time, Elder Gu Yang, who had been silent all this time, slowly spoke, with a barely perceptible depth in his voice:

"Xun'er, your progress is gratifying. Regarding the Xiao family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, I want to know if you have successfully obtained it?"

Gu Xun'er nodded slightly and answered concisely and forcefully: "Elder Gu Yang, I have successfully obtained the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. However, I did not take it by force or stealing. Instead, I reached a mutually beneficial transaction with the Xiao family through an equal exchange."

Elder Gu Yang smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to hide a deep meaning:

"Very good, you did a great job. I don't think I need to explain the importance of this treasure to the ancient clan. Your wisdom and methods are indeed extraordinary."

Although his words were plain, the other elders felt something was amiss.

Elder Guyang doesn't talk much normally, but every word he says seems to have some purpose, making it difficult to understand.

"Elder Guyang is always so far-sighted," one elder said tentatively, "His concern is always just right."

The other elder nodded slightly, but thought to himself that although Gu Yang's behavior was impeccable, it always made people feel that something was wrong.

Gu Xun'er also noticed the subtleties in Elder Gu Yang's words. This elder did not seem as simple as he appeared.

However, she did not pay too much attention to it, but continued to talk to the elders about some things that happened outside.

The elders of the ancient tribe did not delve into Gu Yang's concern for them, perhaps because he had always been in charge of matters related to the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, and his concern about the matter seemed natural.

In their minds, Elder Gu Yang's focus on this important task was nothing more than a manifestation of his duty.

After all, in this ethnic group based on loyalty and honor, no one would easily doubt the identity and loyalty of an elder.

As one of the core members of the ancient clan, Gu Yang's status and credibility seem to be unquestionable.

Beneath this tranquil appearance, no one would have expected that there might be a bottomless undercurrent hidden beneath the calm water surface.

When the elders of the ancient tribe were discussing the matter of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, Gu Xun'er's eyes involuntarily drifted to her father Gu Yuan. Only Gu Yuan could accurately interpret the urgency contained in that look.

Gu Yuan felt his daughter's gaze, his heart moved slightly, and then he understood her hint.

"Xun'er, your cultivation has improved, and your father is deeply pleased." Gu Yuan's voice rang out among the crowd, interrupting the elders' praise, "But while you pursue a higher realm, don't neglect the family heritage."

"Xun'er will always remember my father's teachings." Gu Xun'er answered respectfully.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, then turned around, his face calm, and said to the elders present in a gentle tone: "Dear elders, we may as well continue the discussion about Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade another day. Today I have reunited with my daughter, and I want to have a good chat with her in private, so we will take our leave first."

The elders looked at each other, seeming a little surprised, and were about to ask questions, but Gu Yuan did not give them a chance. He continued decisively: "Please leave first. Xun'er and I have some private matters that need to be discussed in a quiet environment."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yuan grabbed Gu Xun'er's wrist, and his fighting spirit surged around him, causing the space to slightly distort under their feet.

Under the gazes of everyone, Gu Yuan and Gu Xun'er turned into a stream of light, instantly shattered the space, and disappeared in the hall.

Elder Gu Yang watched the two men leave with a frown on his face. Although he had numerous doubts in his mind, he knew that Gu Yuan's strength was extraordinary and he could not easily guess it.

Considering his identity and the current occasion, he did not show any more emotions. After a brief pause, he also quietly retreated.

……

In a secluded courtyard of the ancient clan, the air was filled with light fairy mist, and exotic flowers and plants were blooming, emitting alluring fragrance.

Exquisite pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, and the gurgling streams surround them, with clear and pleasant sounds. The whole courtyard is like a fairyland on earth, filled with an otherworldly atmosphere.

The space fluctuated slightly, as if torn apart by an invisible force, and a crack appeared quietly.

In this crack, the figures of Gu Yuan and Gu Xun'er gradually became clear, as if they were immortals stepping through the void.

Their appearance was without a trace of worldly air, yet full of shocking majesty.

Gu Yuan's temperament is as steady as a mountain, and every step he takes seems to contain the ultimate truth between heaven and earth.

Gu Xun'er was like a fairy under the moon, ethereal and otherworldly, and her every breath blended with the ethereal atmosphere of the courtyard.

As the space crack healed, Gu Yuan cast a gentle gaze towards Gu Xun'er, his voice full of curiosity, and asked: "Xun'er, what exactly makes you so anxious to communicate with your father alone?"

Gu Xun'er did not answer immediately, but slowly took out the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from her arms, handed it to Gu Yuan, and said softly:

"Father, this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was obtained through an exchange between me and the Xiao family. Their exchange conditions were the remains of a Dou Sheng and the essence of a ninth-level demon beast. After some consideration, I agreed to their request."

Gu Yuan stretched out his hand, and the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade fell easily into his palm.

He tightened his grip slightly, but the jade pendant was so strong that no marks were left on it and it remained intact.

After this test, Gu Yuan was convinced that this Tushe ancient emperor jade was not fake.

After a long silence, Gu Yuan finally spoke slowly: "Your choice is correct. The value of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in our hands far exceeds these resources. Since we have reached an agreement with the Xiao family, we should keep our promise."

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Gu Xun'er smiled with relief. She was originally worried that the elders in the family would have objections to this transaction, so she came to discuss it with her father first.

Before Gu Xun'er could speak, Gu Yuan sighed lightly, his tone heavy, and continued: "However, you must understand that the remains of the Dou Sheng and the essence of the ninth-level magic beast are extremely rare treasures.

"The Xiao clan today is not as strong as it was in the past, and no longer has the qualifications to trade with the ancient clan on an equal footing. If this matter gets to the ears of other elders, they may oppose this matter because of the precious resources and their views on the Xiao family."
