With her Dou Qi wings condensed, Medusa's cherry lips let out a light shout, and then she rushed toward the Green Lotus Core Flame without hesitation.
Xiao Yan, standing with his hands behind his back, was also quite surprised by Medusa's actions.
Normally, the strongest state is when Medusa uses the secret technique of the Snake-People tribe and transforms into the Violet Abyss Flame Serpent, and her evolution will be faster.
It seems that the Green Lotus Obstacle-Breaking Pill has given Medusa a lot of confidence, Xiao Yan speculated in his heart.
A Heavenly Flame burning one's body is not a joke. Since Medusa's choice changed, there can only be this one reason.
Upon entering the Green Lotus Core Flame, Medusa did not experience the pain she had imagined. Instead... she felt as if she were taking a bath.
This strange experience completely wiped away the worry she had before she entered the Heavenly Flame. She looked at her body in confusion.
Could it be the effect of that pill?
Looking down, although she saw a familiar snow-white and beautiful red, Medusa was also surprised to find that a layer of green light energy, like a stream of water, covered her body.
It was precisely with the protection of this layer of energy that the power of the Green Lotus Core Flame's forging was greatly reduced.
The Green Lotus Obstacle-Breaking Pill refined by Xiao Yan had to a large extent replicated the effect of the Earth Flame Lotus Seed, and it could already have a strong resistance to the Green Lotus Core Flame itself.
Of course, the medicinal effect of this pill is more than just that, but its fundamental purpose is to reduce the damage Medusa receives, not to directly assist her evolution.
The evolutionary method passed down in the Snake-People tribe is very strange, and Xiao Yan could not research it in just a few days.
Without this Green Lotus Obstacle-Breaking Pill, Medusa's evolution would have two extreme outcomes.
If the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python were to dominate the body, the power she could unleash would not be high, only at the level of a fifth-tier magical beast.
But if Medusa's soul were to dominate the body, the power she could unleash would be at least at the one-star Dou Zong level.
This huge gap was seen by Xiao Yan as an imperfect evolution, and he also gained a lot of inspiration from it.
Due to the special secret technique of the Snake-People tribe, Medusa's body also contains the soul of the Violet Abyss Flame Serpent.
Her evolution relied on the special nature of that magical beast.
And after her evolution, the soul of the Violet Abyss Flame Serpent also evolved, becoming the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
Presumably, this kind of incomplete evolution, where the body and soul cannot reach the same level at the same time, is what Xiao Yan targeted. One of the medicinal effects of the pill he refined is to strengthen Medusa's body.
With the protection of the pill's energy, which allowed her to be unharmed by the temperature of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the purple snake tail under Medusa's waist twisted and coiled up.
With her hands quickly forming seals, Medusa used the pressure of the Heavenly Flame to guide the energy of the pill to travel at high speed within her meridians.
It was only now that Medusa knew the effect of this pill. It not only protected her from injury but also gave her the extra strength to strengthen her body.
As Medusa entered a state of cultivation, she seemed to have merged with the Green Lotus Core Flame. A circle of dense green light suddenly erupted from the Heavenly Flame and slowly spread out in all directions.
With a buzzing sound, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth surged toward Medusa's location.
However, when these massive energies came into contact with the Green Lotus Core Flame, their volume would instantly shrink by half.
By the time they successfully passed through the Green Lotus Core Flame, their volume was only about one-sixth of what it was before.
However, the reduction in the volume of absorbed energy did not make Medusa feel anxious.
If she observed carefully, she would find that this energy was obviously much purer than before.
After being successfully refined by the green light of the Heavenly Flame, wisps of light-green energy began to continuously drill into Medusa's body along with her breath.
As the energy rapidly rushed into her body, a tiny wisp of green flame would also enter Medusa's body from time to time.
With the entry of the Heavenly Flame, Medusa's enchanting cheeks soon became as red as a volcano.
Xiao Yan stood with his arms crossed in front of him, quietly watching Medusa's different evolution method. This was only the beginning.
The fact that she did not feel any pain at the beginning was due to the partial medicinal effects of the Blood Lotus Pill and the Earth Spirit Pill.
However, these medicinal effects are limited. Once the medicinal effects are exhausted, and Medusa has not yet adapted to the Heavenly Flame, that is when the pain will truly begin.
An hour later, Medusa absorbed more and more energy, and under the replication of the Green Lotus Core Flame, all the energy was refined very easily.
However, the increasingly scorching energy rapidly flowed into her meridians, and Medusa subconsciously frowned and sucked in a breath of cold air.
Biting her silver teeth tightly, Medusa's delicate body trembled slightly. All the pores on her body suddenly tightened under this intense pain.
Seeing this change, Xiao Yan's black eyes became even more serious: The consumption of the medicinal power is about to reach its end...
Medusa's gritted teeth did not change anything. The energy she absorbed became hotter and hotter.
In the end, wherever the energy passed, Medusa's meridians were destroyed by the temperature of the energy.
However, what made Medusa feel a little relieved was that whenever her meridians were damaged, the energy that flowed past again was like a drop of jade liquid, adhering to the meridians and slowly squirming as if it were alive.
After looking inward, Medusa was surprised to find that this energy had integrated into her meridians. Her originally ordinary meridians were now not only wider but also had an extra layer of jade-green, cuticle-like material.
When Medusa's meridians all had a layer of cuticle, even though the protective layer of green energy around her body disappeared, the Green Lotus Core Flame did not cause any harm to Medusa.
And at this moment, the Green Lotus Core Flame was completely angered, and its temperature suddenly rose by several levels.
Medusa immediately opened her beautiful eyes, and her stunning facial features wrinkled into a knot. The pain was unbearable.
Wasn't it fine just now? Is this what Xiao Yan meant by the price she must pay?
Medusa had no time to think. In this terrifying flame, her purple snake scales quickly began to twist, and in the end, they were roasted black by the Heavenly Flame and fell to the ground.
After the snake scales fell off, bright red blood gushed out. The evolution suddenly became dangerous.
However, the moment this fresh blood appeared, it was incinerated into nothingness by the terrifying temperature of the Heavenly Flame, which resulted in glaring bloody marks on the snake tail.
Fortunately, she was still inside the Heavenly Flame, and the speed of her energy absorption was extremely fast, and the energy she refined was very pure.
Medusa used all her strength to mobilize her Dou Qi to repair the injuries on her body and frantically absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
She discovered that although the medicinal power of the pill was exhausted, it had already left her with a means to defend against the Heavenly Flame.
