"Transformation Pill, tsk tsk tsk, it's a good thing, but Gu He probably can't refine it. I'll go to Zhongzhou to get some to keep on hand when I have time," Lin Qing said while eating his food.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Queen Medusa remained silent for a long time high in the sky, then suddenly covered her red lips and laughed.
"Hahaha, I have to admit your offer is very tempting, but the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame you want is no longer in my hands."
"What?" Gu He's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but he wasn't someone who believed so easily.
"Your Majesty Queen Medusa, you jest. You are the undisputed ruler of the entire Tagor Desert." Gu He was utterly incredulous.
"Don't believe me? Just a few months ago, a powerful expert who was at least a Dou Zun, or even a Dou Sheng, came here and took away the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."
"Given his power, I dare not spread this news. Otherwise, my snake-people tribe could not withstand his wrath," Queen Medusa said coldly.
"Impossible, how could a Dou Zun or even a Dou Sheng expert be here?" Gu He's face darkened.
"Don't believe me? Then you can ask that person's disciple. Look, that little guy is hiding there right now."
Medusa said with a smile, her slender jade finger pointing to the very spot where Xiao Yan was hiding.
Immediately, countless eyes focused on the crevice in the rock, but Gu He and the others did not sense any aura there.
Only Yun Yun was startled, her brows furrowing tightly as she thought to herself, "How could it be him?"
Just as Guhe thought Medusa was playing a trick on him, a figure crawled out from the crevice in the rock.
"Hello everyone, I am Yao Yan, greetings to all the seniors." Xiao Yan bowed politely.
Although he showed no outward sign of nervousness, Xiao Yan was inwardly very tense, thinking to himself:
"Teacher, didn't you say you concealed your presence? How come you were still discovered?"
"Well, I underestimated Queen Medusa's sensory abilities," Yao Chen said with an awkward smile.
Guhe felt a little relieved to see that there really was a hidden person, and that he was just a minor Dou Shi.
That's right, Xiao Yan is now a Dou Shi. While he was experiencing ecstasy in the main hall, he actually broke through to the Dou Shi realm.
"This person seems to be only at the level of Dou Shi. Your Majesty, you are probably joking when you say that your master is a Dou Zun or even a Dou Sheng."
"Although I don't know why you refused my request, there's no need to use such an excuse to turn it down!" Guhe sighed and said.
“Master Guhe, go back to where you came from and leave here as soon as possible. The leaders of the eight tribes of my Snake People are already on their way here.”
"Some of them harbor a deep hatred for you humans. To avoid unnecessary trouble, you'd better leave as soon as possible!"
Queen Medusa waved her hand lazily, not caring whether Gu He believed her excuse or not, and said indifferently.
Hearing Queen Medusa's words, Gu He sighed with a wry smile. He turned to look at his companions, his face full of helplessness.
"Old He, are you just leaving like that?" Yan Shi glanced at Queen Medusa in the distance and frowned.
"What else can we do but leave? You all know how powerful Queen Medusa is. Do you think it's possible to take her by force?" Gu He sighed.
He didn't want to go back just like that, but considering the other party's strength and the fact that they were on her territory, forcing their way in might be risky.
Yan Shi and Feng Li were also slightly taken aback. They were only Dou Wangs themselves, and with no other choice, they looked at the man in black robes and whispered, "What does Sect Master Yun mean?"
Yun Yun remained silent, not answering Yan Shi's question. After a long while, she slowly took a step forward, her elegant and light voice emanating from her:
"I once saw a message about the Snake-People Queen in an ancient book. It said that if Queen Medusa reached the peak of the Dou Huang realm, she would be able to undergo a strange evolution if she had enough opportunities."
"After evolving, Queen Medusa will not only be able to freely transform into human form, but her strength will also naturally advance to the level of a Dou Zong powerhouse."
"However, the success rate of this evolution seems quite low, and... most importantly, what this evolution absolutely requires is a different kind of fire."

"I think Her Majesty the Queen doesn't want to exchange the Strange Fire because she's after this person who wants to use it for evolution, right?" Yun Yun said calmly, tilting her head slightly.
"As expected," Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind, slightly surprised, "Queen Medusa, as expected? Hey kid, are you even listening?"
"Uh," Xiao Yan was pulled back by Yao Lao's voice, and said in a low voice with some doubt, "This black-robed man's voice seems both familiar and unfamiliar. Do you feel the same way, Teacher?"
"Why would I care about those women's voices?" Yao Chen said helplessly. He was already in a spirit state, so why would he care about women?
Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Queen Medusa's expression subtly changed. She stared intently at the man in black robes and said softly:
"I didn't expect you to know these things. It really surprises me."
"I not only know that you need a different kind of fire to complete your evolution, but I also know... that you're probably already struggling to suppress the energy within you!" the black-robed man said calmly.
"You were just about to evolve when our arrival was something you didn't expect. So, we suppressed your evolution with our battle aura just to get rid of us as quickly as possible."
As soon as Yun Yun spoke, everyone on both sides was slightly shocked. Yue Mei and the other person's expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.
"Sect Master Yun, you're saying that Queen Medusa is currently in a state of suppressed evolutionary energy?"
"Doesn't that mean the strange fire has already been taken by her?" Master Yan asked, his face full of astonishment. In his perception, he didn't seem to have found anything wrong.
Yun Yun nodded slightly, lifted her foot lightly, and then quietly stepped down, her figure disappearing instantly.
The moment the man in black disappeared, Queen Medusa in the distance suddenly laughed and struck out with her palm behind her.
Suddenly, a pure white hand reached out and met Medusa's palm strike.
"How dare you!" Upon seeing the black-robed man who made a sudden move, Yue Mei and Mo Bas's expressions changed drastically. With a flap of their energy wings, they rushed towards Yun Yun.
"Hehe, don't you dare interfere." Two figures flashed over, and Yan Shi and Feng Li stopped them halfway there.
The previously harmonious atmosphere in the sky suddenly turned tense.
In the sky, after the two exchanged blows, Medusa remained unmoved, while Yun Yun retreated a distance.
Ignoring the actions around her, Medusa giggled and said, "You truly are a Dou Huang powerhouse, able to see through my suppression of internal energy."
Although Yun Yun's attack failed, she was not angry and said calmly, "I didn't expect Queen Medusa to be able to make a move under these circumstances."
"Haha, you've got a good plan, but too bad, it's time."
With a soft murmur, Queen Medusa's alluring face lit up with excitement, and instantly, two snow-white wrists were revealed beneath her purple brocade robe.
Her slender hands quickly formed several hand seals in front of her. As the hand seals in Queen Medusa's hands changed, the energy restriction within her body disappeared.
A hint of coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes. She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead with her slender fingers and said calmly, "Today we have successfully evolved. All the humans here shall remain in the desert forever!"
With her hands slightly clasped together and her eyes half-closed, Queen Medusa's jade-like hands continuously changed into strange hand seals.
As his hand seals changed, the energy fluctuations of heaven and earth in this area suddenly became more intense.
The fluctuations grew increasingly violent, eventually forming a massive energy vortex in the sky.
"She's already evolving like this? Doesn't she know that I, a Dou Huang, am here?" Yun Yun stared at this scene, her heart filled with doubt.
However, before Yun Yun could make a move, suddenly, a golden flame erupted from Queen Medusa's body.
"What kind of flame is this? It's so powerful!" Yun Yun couldn't withstand it and retreated a distance.
"Ah, it's so hot!" The moment the flames appeared, the snake-people below all felt uncomfortable.
"What kind of flame is that? It can't be the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame." Gu He stared at the sky in shock.
Suddenly, Queen Medusa, engulfed in flames, flew away into the distance and stopped several kilometers away from the city wall.
"Quickly, everyone move out and protect Queen Medusa!" Mobass roared immediately, and then all the snake people who could fight were mobilized.
They also knew that Queen Medusa did not want to harm them, which is why they moved away from the temple to begin their evolution.
Meanwhile, Guhe and the others had already headed towards Medusa's location.
"Old teacher, that flame..."
"That's right, that flame is the Samadhi Divine Fire. What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get over there!" Yao Chen also seemed somewhat surprised.
"Understood." Xiao Yan's shoulders twitched slightly, and a pair of purple wings appeared. He then soared into the sky.
"It seems that what Queen Medusa said earlier was true; Senior Lin Qing took away his Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."
"And why she absorbed your blood and the essence of the Three Flavors Divine Fire must have been told to her by your master, Lin Qing," Yao Chen pondered.
Xiao Yan gazed at the Samadhi Divine Flame in the distance and said, "It seems I still have to go help that Medusa!"
Yao Chen stroked his beard and said, "If you can help, then help. After all, Gu He and his group are much stronger than a mere Dou Shi like you."
"Of course, I'm not stupid." Xiao Yan smiled knowingly.
In the distance, in addition to the flames of the Samadhi Fire, a dense light appeared on Queen Medusa's body.
The light expanded and contracted continuously, and after a moment, a roar that sounded somewhat like a lion's roar and somewhat like a tiger's howl came from within.
Shortly after the roar, a blinding light suddenly intensified, and then a giant purple serpent, over ten zhang long, hovered in the air.
"Evolution is about to begin." Yun Yun was already standing on a desert mountain not far from Medusa with Gu He and his group.
"Damn humans, once Her Majesty the Queen has successfully evolved, none of you will escape!" said Flower Snake, the captain of the guards, in a sinister tone.
At this moment, the powerful members of the snake-people stood not far from Gu He and his group, staring intently at them, constantly on guard.
"If the evolution fails, she will naturally disappear from this world without us having to do anything," Yun Yun said calmly.
Lin Qing tore off a piece of the red pig leg, took a sip of Wahaha, and mumbled, "Hehe, this evolution is 100% successful, but it still needs..."

"Come forth! Samadhi Divine Fire!"
As Medusa shouted, the seemingly harmless Samadhi Fire suddenly surged and then contracted.
Suddenly, the temperature around them rose sharply, and then the Samadhi Divine Fire instantly enveloped the giant purple snake.
The instant the purple serpent was enveloped by the Samadhi Fire, Queen Medusa's shrill scream suddenly rang out, sending chills down one's spine.
"Oh no, retreat quickly! The temperature is too high! Samadhi Divine Fire, why have I never heard of it before?" Yun Yun's expression changed drastically, and she retreated a distance.
The others also quickly retreated to a safe distance.
Although Queen Medusa's screams were exceptionally pitiful, the Queen Medusa in the flames was not as they had imagined.
Although its body was slightly charred, not a single scale had fallen off.
The power of the Samadhi Divine Flame is undeniable, but it's only because Queen Medusa previously absorbed Xiao Yan's blood and the essence of the Samadhi Divine Flame.
