.
Seeing the porcelain bottle handed to her and hearing Xiao Ling say it contained a Po Zong Dan, Medusa subconsciously took it and eagerly uncorked it.
Casting her gaze inside the porcelain bottle, she saw a milky white pill in the center, shaking occasionally, as if it had a spirit. Smelling the medicinal fragrance wafting from the porcelain bottle, Medusa, although not an alchemist, could confirm that this Po Zong Dan was of the highest quality.
Glancing at Xiao Ling who was chatting and laughing with Zi Yan, she muttered to herself, "It seems that this kid 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 prepare the pill in advance. I thought you were going to refine it in the snake tribe before leaving."
Nodding, Xiao Ling replied, "This Pozong Pill is also a unique one of mine. I originally planned to use it when I break through to the Dou Zong level. It happened to be a transaction with Her Majesty the Queen. It doesn't help me at the moment, and there is no loss if I trade it away. Anyway, with these materials, I still have time to refine another Pozong Pill before I break through to the Dou Zong level."
This Pozong Pill was the last one left among the three pills extracted from the system. Xiao Ling planned to get a strange fire when his cultivation reached a high-star Dou Huang level, so that he could directly break through to the Dou Zong level at that time.
Reaching out and holding Zi Yan's small hand, Xiao Ling said again: "I believe Her Majesty the Queen can't wait to use this Breaking Sect Pill, so Zi Yan and I won't disturb you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone a word about today's transaction."
Zi Yan 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 just met Medusa, Zi Yan inexplicably had a feeling 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 this secret. I won't keep you here any longer." She
stepped forward and touched Zi Yan's head, saying softly, "It's a deal then. Don't forget about me. Be careful out there and don't get hurt."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm very strong..."
Seeing the two men about to start talking non-stop again, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan's hand and said, "There's no time to lose. We have urgent matters to attend to. We'll be leaving first." With that, he dragged Zi Yan out of the hall. Yue Mei, watching this scene
, was at a loss as to what to do. She hadn't even received her reward yet.
She then bowed to Medusa and said, "Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now. I still have some unfinished business with the tribe."
Nodding steadily, Medusa replied calmly, "Well, then you may leave first."
Yue Mei didn't hesitate, wiggling her tail and catching up with Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.
Watching them depart, Medusa muttered to herself, "Xiao Ling, such a young sixth-rank alchemist, has come from the Canaan Academy in the Black Horn Region to the Tagor Desert. His purpose is surely more than just exchanging a single herb. I wonder what kind of turmoil this person's arrival will stir up in the Northwest Continent." She
then removed the porcelain bottle containing the Po Zong Dan from her ring and clutched it tightly, a determined glint in her eyes.
"No matter what changes may occur, I will find a better home for the Serpent People..."
Medusa instructed Flower Snake beside her, "Don't leak a single word about what happened today, or I'll hold you accountable. Notice that I'm going to be in seclusion for training soon. No one is allowed to disturb me. Anyone who disobeys this order will be severely punished!"
After saying this, he twisted his slender tail and headed towards his training island.
Flower Snake's voice came from behind him: "As you command, I promise to keep this a secret. May Your Majesty successfully break through to the Dou Zong realm."
...
Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, who had just left the hall, heard a rustling sound behind them and couldn't help but glance back.
Seeing Yue Mei following him, Xiao Ling remembered that he still had a Dou Ling Pill to refine. He had been thinking about other things and almost forgot about it.
Nodding slightly at Yue Mei, Xiao Ling asked curiously, "Commander Yue Mei, have you prepared the ingredients for three Dou Ling Pills?"
Giving Xiao Ling a charming smile, Yue Mei softly said, "I was short on some herbs. Just now, when you were selecting items from the treasury, I made some trades with Commander Hua She'er, and I've managed to gather the ingredients for three Dou Ling Pills. I wonder when Master Xiao Ling will be free to help me refine them." Touching
his chin, Xiao Ling felt a headache. He didn't have any Dou Ling Pills on him anymore. Was he going to leave them for Yue Mei to refine?
Shaking his head, to save time, he could only refine the pills while riding the Sky-Splitting Throne.
A typical fifth-grade alchemist would need about ten days to refine a Dou Ling Pill. Xiao Ling's alchemy skills had now reached the pinnacle of the sixth grade. With the help of the strange fire, he could refine multiple herbs at once, and could refine a Dou Ling Pill in half a day.
After a fleeting moment of thought, Xiao Ling replied, "Then give me the three batches of Dou Ling Dan herbs. I'll prepare them for you on the way."
Although he was somewhat puzzled as to how Xiao Ling could refine the elixir while on the road, he still handed the three batches of Dou Ling Dan herbs to Xiao Ling.
He took the herbs, inspected them, and, finding they were all in good condition, nodded with satisfaction, storing them one by one in his storage ring.
He nodded to Yue Mei and Zi Yan behind him, signaling them to follow, then spread his Dou Qi wings and soared into the sky.
Seeing this, Zi Yan and Yue Mei also spread their Dou Qi wings and chased after Xiao Ling.
After leaving the Serpent Tribe's Holy City, Xiao Ling patted the sleeping Liekongzuo in his sleeve, stroked his smooth head, and said with a smile, "Little guy, you have to go out to work again."
Liekongzuo, who was sleeping soundly, also woke up. He first licked Xiao Ling's palm, then crawled out of his sleeve, leaped into the air, and appeared in front of Yue Mei.
Feeding a fourth-grade elixir into his mouth, Xiao Ling said, "This time, you need to grow a little bigger. I will sit on your head. This time, you don't need to fly too fast, just keep it steady."
Hearing this, Liekongzuo nodded humanely, and then, under Yue Mei's shocked gaze, his body slowly grew larger, and his aura also climbed step by step. At the end, the aura of the Douhuang was unmistakable.
