Hearing the guard captain's question, Yue Mei replied, "Neither of them is a strong man from the surrounding countries. The man is a sixth-grade alchemist from Canaan College, and the girl is a magical beast incarnation. They have no ill will towards the snake people. They came to the snake people just to make a deal with the queen. It will definitely benefit the snake people. Don't worry, I will not betray the snake people."

After listening to Yue Mei's explanation, the captain of the guard took another close look at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, and recalled it in his mind. He found that in the intelligence of the Snake People, there were no portraits of these two people among the Dou Wang powerful warriors trained by the major imperial forces around them. In addition, with the guarantee of Commander Yue Mei, it seems that these two people are indeed not hostile to the Snake People.

Moreover, in the holy city of the Snake People, there is not only Queen Medusa, but also four elders whose cultivation has reached the peak of Douhuang. There are only two Douwang, which is nothing to worry about.

So he bowed to Yue Mei and said, "In that case, I won't stop you any longer." After saying that, he signaled to the snakemen guards around him that there was no danger here, and returned to his post.

After getting the snake man's consent, Yue Mei said nothing more. She took Xiao Ling and Zi Yan and continued to fly towards the center of the snake man's holy city, the palace where Queen Medusa lived.

In front of a magnificent palace, Xiao Ling and his companions retracted their fighting wings, descended from the sky, and arrived at the main entrance of the palace.

After Yue Mei discussed with the Medusa guards, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan followed Yue Mei, passed through layers of guards, and entered a magnificent hall.

Long before Yue Mei brought Xiao Ling and Zi Yan to the city wall of the snake people's holy city, a snake person used a special sound transmission secret method to convey Yue Mei's words to Queen Medusa's ears.

Perhaps because she heard that Xiao Ling was a sixth-rank alchemist and wanted to make a deal with the Snake People, the Snake People Queen became interested, so she came to the ordinary meeting hall in advance, so that Xiao Ling did not have to wait here for a while.

Looking into the hall, I saw a charming woman with a snake tail lying on a luxurious chair in the best position. Next to her, a snake woman holding a spear was guarding her. As expected, these two snake women were the Queen Medusa, who was famous for her beauty and murderous reputation, and her personal guard leader Hua She'er.

Xiao Ling looked at Queen Medusa with some curiosity, and could not help but be a little surprised. Medusa's face was so beautiful that it almost reached the level of enchantment. A pair of narrow and long light purple eyes, with a natural charm, could almost attract every man's attention. She was wearing a graceful purple brocade robe. Her body under the brocade robe was plump and exquisite, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint charm. Her long black hair casually fell from her shoulders and vertically between her slender waist. Under the brocade robe, a purple snake tail was exposed. The snake tail swayed slightly, and a wild and enchanting attraction made people inexplicably feel a little hot all over.

Chapter 58 Transaction (Part )

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Ling regained his composure while the people around him were still not able to react. He was not a country boy who had never seen the world. He could not make a fool of himself in public. He had no plans to be a grassroots hero for now. He had to have at least the strength of a Dou Zong before this beautiful snake would look up to him.

Queen Medusa, who was lying on her side on the amethyst throne on the high platform, saw Yue Mei walking in with Xiao Ling and Zi Yan. Her slightly closed eyes slowly opened and she cast her gaze on Xiao Ling and Zi Yan behind Yue Mei.

Relying on his cultivation that has reached the peak of Dou Huang, when Xiao Ling did not use the "disguise" skill, he was able to easily detect Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's cultivation, a four-star Dou Wang and one at the peak of Dou Wang.

Medusa narrowed her narrow eyes, relying on years of intuition and rich combat experience, she realized that the two people in front of her were a little unusual. If they really fought, their strength would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.

Yue Mei stepped forward first, bowed respectfully to Queen Medusa, and then said, "Greetings, Her Majesty."

Queen Medusa withdrew her gaze from Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, and replied calmly, "Stand up." Then she pointed to a few chairs around her and said to them, "I roughly understand why you are here. Sit down first and we'll talk."

Hearing this, Yue Mei replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She twisted her snake tail and found a chair to sit on. Xiao Ling also held Zi Yan's hand and sat opposite Yue Mei.

After they sat down, Xiao Ling said to Medusa, "Hello, Queen Medusa, let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Ling, an elder from the Alchemy Department of Canaan College. I have come to the Serpent People Tribe this time because I want to make a deal with them. I want to exchange a Sand Mandragora from you. This is a medicinal ingredient I need to refine a pill."

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he hinted at Zi Yan. The tacit understanding they had gained from getting along for so many years made Zi Yan understand what Xiao Ling meant immediately. He wanted her to brag a few words on the side.

So he spoke to Medusa on the platform in a childish voice, "Sister Snakeman, Xiao Ling is a sixth-rank alchemist. As long as you are willing to take out the Sand Mandragora, you will definitely be able to get a satisfactory reward."

Medusa, who had been lying on her side just now, also slowly sat up. After hearing Xiao Ling's words, she had planned to make things difficult for a few people and raise the value of the Sand Mandala. However, when she heard the little girl in purple speak and call her sister, she always felt an inexplicable comfort in her heart. Moreover, when she looked at the little girl in purple carefully, she always felt that she met her aesthetic standards. The more she looked at her, the cuter she found her. She had originally planned to bargain, and when she was about to speak, she swallowed the words back into her stomach before she could even utter a word.

Then he looked at the purple-dressed girl opposite with a curious look, and said in a somewhat curious tone: "Little guy, what's your name? You are a transformed monster, right?"

Zi Yan, who was sitting next to her, heard Queen Medusa asking her questions and remembered what Xiao Ling had whispered in her ear before. "Zi Yan, Queen Medusa of the Snake Tribe is a rich woman. She is in charge of all the medicinal herbs in the Snake Tribe. You have to build a good relationship with her. When she is in a good mood, she will just take out a few herbs from the Snake Tribe's treasury for you. Are you still worried about not having herbs to eat in the future?"

His mind couldn't help but think of the scene where he followed Medusa to the treasury of the snake people to select medicinal herbs. His eyes were shining with gold, and he quickly replied: "My name is Zi Yan, and I'm already a fifth-level peak magic beast. Since I can remember, I have been wandering alone in the Magic Beast Mountains. I have never met a member of the same tribe and lived alone. Later, I accidentally ate a shapeshifting grass and became like this. Although I have become a human, I can't change back to my original appearance. I can only wait until I take the shapeshifting pill or improve my cultivation to eliminate the side effects of the shapeshifting grass before I can restore my magic beast body. Then I can figure out what race I am and find my family."

Medusa on the opposite side couldn't help but feel sorry for the little girl after listening to Zi Yan's self-introduction. After all, she still had many tribesmen, but this little girl had been traveling alone since she could remember, and she must have suffered a lot. Thinking of her deceased sister, Medusa became a little sad.

After staring at Zi Yan's face for a while, Medusa suddenly said, "Zi Yan, do you want to be my sister? As long as we are in the territory of the snake people, I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hua She'er, Yue Mei and Xiao Ling beside them were a little surprised.

Yue Mei and Hua She'er were thinking the same thing, "How is it possible that the cold-blooded and arrogant queen wants to be sisters with this little girl the first time she sees her!"

After being slightly surprised, Xiao Ling did not think about it any more. After all, Medusa and Zi Yan hit it off at first sight in the original novel and became good sisters. Now that they met, they might have fallen in love with each other, and Medusa said it out loud. But according to age, Zi Yan, who is more than 1,400 years old, should be much older than Medusa, who is more than 300 years old.

Hearing that Medusa wanted her to be her sister, Zi Yan thought for a moment and replied: "As long as you give me delicious herbs, I will be your sister, but only a sister of friends. I will not stay in the snake tribe."

Although it did not meet her expectations, Medusa still nodded and said to Zi Yan, "No problem. As long as you want, the door of the snake people is always open to you."

Seeing that the two of them were about to divert the topic, Xiao Ling winked at Zi Yan. Zi Yan, who was chatting with Medusa, noticed this and remembered that she still had some important business to do.

So he went forward and hugged Medusa's arm, and said in a baby voice: "Sister Medusa, Xiao Ling wants a Sand Mandragora, you can exchange a pair of plants with her, and you can ask him to refine pills for you. The quality of the pills he refines is much better than others."

After stroking Zi Yan's little head lovingly, Medusa turned her gaze to Xiao Ling and asked curiously, "Since you want to exchange for Sand Mandragora, I wonder what bargaining chips you can come up with. Sand Mandragora is a precious medicinal material for the Snake People. If one is missing, a Snake People with extraordinary potential will be unable to fuse with a snake beast that suits him. If the bargaining chips are not enough, I will not exchange with you even if Zi Yan helps you to speak well." Since Zi Yan praised Xiao Ling so much, Medusa became interested. She didn't know what kind of bargaining chips this sixth-grade alchemist could come up with. After all, she was the queen of the Snake People and had to strive for more benefits for the Snake People.

Chapter 59 Transaction (Part )

Xiao Ling, who was standing opposite, heard Medusa's question, thought for a moment, and then said, "As long as the Serpent People can prepare three sets of herbs for the Po Zong Dan, I can help Queen Medusa refine a Po Zong Dan. The reward will be the Sand Mandragora. Now the Queen's cultivation has reached the limit at the peak of Dou Huang. I believe that with the help of the Po Zong Dan, it will not be difficult for her to become a Dou Zong."

Hearing the words "Po Zong Dan", Medusa's pupils narrowed, but her heart was in turmoil.

She is the Queen Medusa of the Snake People. She has reached the peak of Douhuang for decades. However, due to problems with her own bloodline, she has been unable to break through to Douzong.

Now the Snake People are hostile to the surrounding empires and live in the depths of the Tagor Desert, which is not what the Snake People are willing to accept. The Snake People's bodies are cold, and the Tagor Desert is extremely hot. As the queen of the Snake People, her greatest hope is to lead the Snake People out of this endless desert. Before, she also planned to use the strange fire to evolve her bloodline, so as to break through to Dou Zong, which is a way to survive.

Now there is a chance to obtain a Po Zong Dan. Although it cannot improve one's bloodline potential and strengthen one's cultivation talent like the evolution of different fire, taking a Po Zong Dan and raising one's cultivation to Dou Zong basically has no risk, and even if it fails, it will not reduce one's own cultivation.

Being able to secure a good living space for the snake people is what Queen Medusa cares most about, and it is also the reason why she wants to use the strange fire to evolve. Now that there is a better way, Medusa is obviously tempted.

Medusa nodded and replied, "I agree to this condition. Since you can refine the Pozong Pill, the prescription should have been prepared long ago. Show me the herbs needed."

Hearing that Medusa agreed to the deal, Xiao Ling felt a little better. He took out a list of medicinal materials for refining the Po Zong Dan from his storage ring, activated his fighting spirit, and floated in front of her.

This prescription contains all the necessary medicinal materials for refining the Pozong Pill. Considering that Medusa and Zi Yan have a good relationship now and agreed to the deal so quickly, Xiao Ling does not intend to do anything about it.

Medusa stretched out a slender hand and took the list of medicinal materials. She looked at the various medicinal materials listed on it and her expression turned a little ugly.

After all, the snake people live deep in the Tagor Desert, where resources are extremely scarce. They cannot gather together the medicinal materials for three Pozong Pills, and there are only one or two main herbs.

Seeing Medusa's expression, Xiao Ling roughly guessed that the snake people's resources might not be able to come up with the recipe for three Pozong Pills, so he said: "If Queen Medusa can't come up with the medicinal materials for three Pozong Pills, the missing part can be exchanged for some natural treasures of equal value. And the medicinal materials recorded on the medicinal material list are all needed for refining, and there is absolutely no private addition."

Medusa heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that she could exchange it with medicinal herbs of equal value. Even though the snake people did not have many resources, they still had some main ingredients for refining sixth-grade pills after so many years of accumulation.

“The Snake People really cannot gather three complete sets of medicinal materials for Breaking Sect Pills. Some of the main herbs are only one or two. Master Xiao Ling, please come with me to the Snake People’s treasury to collect the herbs for refining Breaking Sect Pills. The missing herbs can be exchanged for items of equal value. Just tell me which ones Master Xiao Ling likes.” After saying that, he sat up from the throne, took Zi Yan’s little hand, twisted the snake’s tail, and walked towards the Snake People’s treasury.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling stood up and followed Medusa. Looking at Zi Yan in front of him chattering around Medusa, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch his mouth, muttering in his heart: "I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to let her build a good relationship with Medusa. Don't let her not want to leave the snake tribe at that time, that would be a big loss."

After walking for a while, the three finally arrived at the treasure house of the snake people.

The soul perception was released from his eyebrows, and Xiao Ling realized that there were several snake guards around.

Hiding in the dark, most of them have the cultivation level of Dou Ling, and the strongest one among them has the cultivation level of five-star Dou Wang.

Medusa first stepped forward and talked with the guards, then nodded to Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, indicating that they could go in with her.

The three of them passed through a black door about five meters high, walked in a passage inlaid with moonstones for a few minutes, and entered the treasure house of the snake people.

Zi Yan, who was standing by, sniffed and felt the various medicinal herbs in the treasure house. She was a little excited, her eyes lit up, and her saliva was about to flow out. "Xiao Ling really didn't lie to me. There are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs."

Medusa first brought Xiao Ling to the area where medicinal herbs were stored, took out a Sand Mandragora, and then selected the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Sect Breaking Pill owned by the Snake People and handed them to Xiao Ling. Then she signaled Xiao Ling to select some medicinal herbs and treasures of equal value to exchange for the missing value.

Xiao Ling glanced through the medicinal herbs and found that they were all common herbs and there was no chance of finding a bargain.

He selected a medicinal herb that could be used to refine the sixth-grade Earth Spirit Pill, the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma, and also selected several main herbs that could be used to refine the Imperial Pill and the Fighting Spirit Pill.

As long as these herbs can be refined into pills that can directly improve cultivation, their value will increase several times. With Xiao Ling's super high pill success rate, he will definitely be able to make a fortune by trading these pills.

After selecting the herbs, the three of them left the Snake Tribe's treasure house. What made Xiao Ling laugh and cry was that when Zi Yan left, she held a herb in each hand and chewed a fruit in her mouth.

Handing the two herbs in her hand to Xiao Ling, Zi Yan hesitantly said: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, help me refine these two herbs into delicious sugar pills later."

Bending down and touching the soft purple hair, Xiao Ling took the herbs handed over by Zi Yan and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have never embezzled your herbs. When I need them, I will exchange them with pills of equal value."

Seeing that Medusa was so friendly to Zi Yan, Xiao Ling didn't plan to let her wait any longer, and he also planned to leave the snake people as soon as possible. Hai Bodong must be waiting anxiously.

After they returned to the hall, Xiao Ling took out a porcelain bottle from his ring, handed it to Medusa, and said, "Your Majesty, since the deal has been reached, I will give this Po Zong Dan to you. Zi Yan and I have things to deal with, so we won't stay here for long."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 60 Po Zong Dan

Seeing the porcelain bottle handed to her and hearing Xiao Ling say that it contained a Po Zong Dan, Medusa subconsciously took it and couldn't wait to open the stopper.

Looking into the porcelain bottle, a milky white pill was in the center of the bottle, shaking from time to time, as if it had a spirit. Smelling the medicinal fragrance wafting from the bottle, although Medusa was not an alchemist, she could be sure that the quality of this Po Zong Dan was definitely of the highest level.

He looked at Xiao Ling who was chatting and laughing with Zi Yan, and muttered to himself: "It seems that this boy is quite kind."

After putting the cork in the bottle and putting the porcelain bottle containing the Pozong Pill into the storage ring, Medusa said to Xiao Ling and the others, "I didn't expect you to have prepared the pill in advance. I thought you were planning to refine it in the snake tribe before leaving."

Nodding, Xiao Ling replied, "This Po Zong Dan is also a unique one of mine. I originally planned to use it when I break through to Dou Zong, but it just so happened that I came across the transaction with Her Majesty the Queen. It is of no use to me at the moment, and there is no loss in trading it. Anyway, with these materials, I will have time to refine another Po Zong Dan before I break through to Dou Zong."

This Breaking Sect Pill is the last one left among the three extracted from the system. Anyway, Xiao Ling plans to get a Strange Fire when his cultivation reaches the High Star Dou Huang level, and then he will be able to break through to the Dou Zong level directly.

Reaching out and holding Zi Yan's hand, Xiao Ling said, "I'm sure Her Majesty the Queen can't wait to use this Po Zong Dan, so Zi Yan and I won't bother you anymore. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about today's transaction."

Zi Yan, who was standing by, looked at Medusa reluctantly and said, "Sister Medusa, Xiao Ling and I will leave first. If I have time, I will come to the Snake Tribe to see you."

Although she had only just met Medusa, Zi Yan inexplicably felt that they had met too late. In Zi Yan's heart, Medusa was already one of her few friends.

Nodding to Xiao Ling, Medusa said, "Thank you Master Xiao Ling for keeping the news a secret. I won't keep you here any longer."

He stepped forward and touched Zi Yan's head, and said softly, "Then it's a deal, don't forget about me when you turn around. Be careful outside and don't get hurt."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm very strong..."

Xiao Ling, who was standing by, saw that the two seemed to be about to start talking nonstop again, so he directly grabbed Zi Yan's hand and said, "There is no time to lose, we have urgent matters, so we'll leave first." After that, he dragged Zi Yan out of the hall.

Yue Mei, who was standing by, was at a loss when she saw this scene because she had not yet received her reward.

Then he bowed to Medusa and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now. I still have some unfinished business in the tribe."

Nodding steadily, Medusa replied calmly: "Well, then you can leave first."

Yue Mei did not hesitate and twisted her snake tail to follow Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.

Watching the backs of the people leaving, Medusa murmured to herself, "Xiao Ling, such a young sixth-grade alchemist, came to the Tagor Desert from the Canaan Academy in the Black Horn Region. His purpose must be more than just exchanging a herb. I wonder what kind of storm this person's arrival will cause in the Northwest Continent."

He then took out the porcelain bottle containing the Po Zong Dan from the ring, held it tightly, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.

"No matter what changes there are, I will find a better home for the snake people..."

Medusa ordered Hua She'er beside her, "Don't let anyone know what happened today, or I'll hold you accountable. Notice that I'm going to practice in seclusion recently, and no one is allowed to disturb me. Anyone who disobeys my order will be severely punished!"

After saying this, he twisted his long snake tail and headed towards his own training island.

Hua She'er replied from behind: "As you command, I promise to keep my mouth shut. I wish the Queen can successfully break through to the Dou Zong realm."

……

Xiao Ling and Zi Yan walked out of the hall and heard a rustling sound behind them. They couldn't help but look back.

Seeing Yue Mei following him, Xiao Ling recalled that he still had a Douling Pill to refine. He was thinking about other things just now and almost forgot about this matter.

Nodding slightly to Yue Mei, Xiao Ling asked curiously, "Commander Yue Mei, have you prepared three batches of materials for refining Douling Pills?"

Showing a charming smile to Xiao Ling, Yue Mei said softly, "Originally, I was still short of some medicinal herbs. Just now when you went to the treasury to select items, I made some exchanges with Commander Hua She'er, and I managed to gather three sets of medicinal herbs for refining Dou Ling Dan. I wonder when Master Xiao Ling will be free to help me refine it."

Touching his chin, Xiao Ling felt a little headache. He didn't have any Douling Pills on him now. Was he supposed to leave some for Yue Mei to refine?

He shook his head. In order not to waste time, he could only refine the pill while riding on the Rayquaza.

It takes about ten days for an ordinary fifth-grade alchemist to refine a Douling Pill. Xiao Ling's alchemy skills have now reached the peak of the sixth grade. With the help of the strange fire, he can refine multiple medicinal materials at once and refine a Douling Pill in half a day.

After only a split second of thinking, Xiao Ling replied, "Then just give me the three batches of herbs for refining the Douling Pill, and I'll help you refine it on the way."

Although he was a little confused about how Xiao Ling could make pills while on the road, he still gave the medicinal materials for three Douling Pills to Xiao Ling.

He reached out to take the herbs, checked them, and found that they were not missing any weight. He nodded with satisfaction and put them into his ring one by one.

He nodded to Yue Mei and Zi Yan behind him, asking them to follow him, then spread his fighting spirit wings and flew into the sky.

Seeing this, Zi Yan and Yue Mei also spread their fighting wings and chased in the direction of Xiao Ling.

After leaving the Holy City of the Serpent People, Xiao Ling patted Rayquaza who was sleeping in his sleeve, touched his smooth head, and said with a smile: "Little guy, you have to go out to work again."

The sleeping Rayquaza also woke up. He first licked Xiao Ling's palm, then crawled out from his sleeve, leaped into the air, and appeared in front of Yue Mei.

After feeding a fourth-grade pill into its mouth, Xiao Ling said, "Be a little bigger this time, and I'll sit on your head. You don't need to fly too fast this time, just be steady."

Hearing this, Liekongzuo nodded humanely, and then in front of Yue Mei's shocked gaze, his body slowly grew larger, and the aura of his body also rose steadily. In the end, the aura of the Douhuang was undoubtedly revealed.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 61 Leaving the Holy City of the Snake People

Feeling the Douhuang pressure emanating from the black magic beast in front of her, Yue Mei asked in disbelief: "Has this magic beast always been by your side?"

Nodding, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "He has indeed been by my side all the time. As long as you restrain your own aura and I help to cover it up a little, most people will be able to detect his presence from me."

Slightly flapping his fighting spirit wings, Xiao Ling landed on the head of Rayquaza. Zi Yan beside him followed suit and rode on the neck of Rayquaza.
