Chapter 173: Why isn't such a genius part of my Snake People Tribe?

[Name: Lin Xiu]

[Age: 21]

[Realm: 1 Star Dou Emperor (98,000/1,000,000)]

[Physique: Rank 6 Initial Stage (30%)]

[Soul: Spirit Realm Initial Stage (2%)]

[Aptitude: Rank 6]

[Ability:...]

[Occupation: Alchemist]

[Grade: Seven]

[Attribute Points: 3]

...

"Soul Realm advancing to Spirit Realm; the previously unattainable Eighth Grade should be achievable now."

Lin Xiu's gaze fell on another slightly tilted panel, where he indeed noticed a plus sign appearing after the grade level.

He didn't rush to add it.

Spirit Fusion Pill was just a Sixth Grade Pill, and at the Seventh Grade alchemy level, he was capable enough to refine it.

"The materials are limited, and attempting to refine it hastily will greatly increase the chances of failure. However, this shouldn't be a problem for me."

It would be false to say Lin Xiu wasn't nervous for his first alchemy attempt. After all, reaching the Seventh Grade Alchemist level had only provided him with a wealth of experience in identifying medicinal ingredients.

At this moment, he possessed only theoretical knowledge.

His gaze swept across the tree-like Alchemist panel, where he found two illuminated dots at the sixth node.

Sixth Grade Pill - Dou Spirit Pill.

Sixth Grade Pill - Spirit Fusion Pill.

Lin Xiu looked at the latter, where there was a plus sign next to the illuminated dot.

[You have used one Attribute Point, Mastery of Spirit Fusion Pill +1]

Somehow, more information appeared in Lin Xiu's mind, relating to the experience of refining the Spirit Fusion Pill.

After digesting it, Lin Xiu was slightly startled, "There's a more than fifty percent chance of producing a low-quality Spirit Fusion Pill?"

It turned out that even the same pill could vary in quality. The worst was low-quality, barely integrating the pill, with mediocre effects and poor results. Above that were average, good, and perfect grades.

"A person as outstanding as me will surely leave a mark in the history of the Dou Qi Continent. If it gets out that Lin Xiu, the esteemed Lin Emperor, initially produced a low-quality pill, wouldn't it damage my reputation?"

Lin Xiu decisively allocated points. To raise his refining level to average, he needed three Attribute Points. He was still short of one.

"No worries, with the treasuries of Eight Gates, Blood Sect, and Ground Fire Sect in my possession, I have plenty of Dou Techniques to earn Attribute Points."

After a thorough search, Lin Xiu found about a dozen Dou Techniques with relatively lower grades. However, "lower" here was only in comparison to the identities of the three Spatial Ring owners. Thus, even the worst were Yellow Rank High level.

Quickly browsing through them, Lin Xiu gained a rough understanding of the Dou Techniques. What he lacked now was someone to provide him with experience.

Thinking of this, he raised his arm, his sleeve slipping down to reveal the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python coiled around his wrist like a colorful bracelet.

He called out, and the snake lit up with radiance.

"Why have you awakened me? Have you come to your senses and decided to give me the formula and materials?" In the glow, Medusa emerged.

"I won't give you the formula. I acquired it through my own abilities. If you didn't take it back then, you can't blame anyone else," Lin Xiu replied, causing Medusa's chest to rise and fall dramatically in the light.

"What do you mean 'didn't take'?" Clearly, at that time, I was confused by the Fallen Heart Flame, how could I have thought clearly?

Medusa gritted her teeth inwardly. "Then why did you awaken me?"

If Lin Xiu couldn't explain, simply summoning and dismissing me at will like this is unacceptable!

I must teach him a lesson!

"Seeing you like this, now you can freely transform Soul with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python," Lin Xiu said nonchalantly.

Lin Xiu was not surprised. The Fallen Heart Flame had the effect of burning Soul. Previously, Medusa's burning had indeed helped her integrate her Soul and body to some extent.

"You..."

Medusa saw Lin Xiu not answering, and clenched her fists with her five fingers.

But as she spoke, Lin Xiu interrupted her, "I'm preparing to refine the Spirit Fusion Pill. However, before I formally start, you'll spar with me."

Does he have mind-reading skills?

Upon hearing this, Medusa was startled. Is there a difference between sparring with her and actively seeking a beating?

"Do you accept? answer quickly" urged Lin Xiu.

If this woman didn't agree, he would go find Magic Beasts himself. Perhaps the experience would be a bit less, but it wouldn't matter.

"Okay!"

With such a good thing happening, Medusa was so happy. She had been worried that if she hit Lin Xiu before, the boy would have emotions in his heart. If he went to Jia Nan Academy, she wouldn't have been convenient to take the pills

This time, Medusa was undoubtedly the queen of the Snake People Tribe, someone who could kill without batting an eyelid.

"Alright," Lin Xiu responded.

Whoosh!

Almost as soon as he spoke, a strong wind struck him head-on.

Medusa directly attacked without giving Lin Xiu any chance to prepare.

Damn it!

He cursed inwardly, relying on his rich combat experience to instinctively respond.

Swoosh!

Thunder flashed beneath his feet, and Lin Xiu's figure appeared on the other side.

"So fast, is this the Earth Rank Dou Technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movements?"

Her palm pierced through the afterimages before him, surprising Medusa's beautiful face.

She hadn't expected that her sudden attack could be avoided by Lin Xiu.

"Not only is his cultivation talent strong, but his combat talent is also outstanding. If he can really refine the Spirit Fusion Pill, his talent in alchemy would be extraordinary as well."

In her heart, Medusa began to admire Lin Xiu even more.

Such talent should be serving her Snake People Tribe!

If left to develop among humans, who could guarantee that he wouldn't stand against her in the future?

Medusa's possessiveness towards Lin Xiu grew stronger.

The two quickly engaged in battle.

Though both appeared humanoid, their physiques were akin to Magic Beasts.

Every clash of their fists erupted with deafening thunder, their immense forces colliding and shaking the air, creating visible ripples.

[You engaged in a battle... Experience +100]

[You engaged in a battle... Experience +100]

[...]

[Your Ability... increased to..., gained 1 Attribute Point]

A series of messages continued to flood in.

On the interface, Attribute Points kept flashing, quickly surpassing double digits.

Against Medusa, Lin Xiu, relying on his outstanding Physique and the enhancement brought by the Earth Rank Mid Level Dou Technique, Starlight Body Forging Technique, showed no signs of falling behind.

When it came to skillfully using Dou Techniques, Lin Xiu displayed a variety of them continuously.

Although each one didn't have much power, when used, they still caused some disturbance to Medusa.

Initially, Medusa adhered to the idea of teaching him a lesson. However, gradually, she found that even when using fifty percent of her strength, she still couldn't suppress Lin Xiu.

What surprised Medusa the most was Lin Xiu's Physique.

After her evolution, she possessed the body of a Seventh Rank Magic Beast. Such strength would make ordinary Dou Emperors hesitant to confront her directly.

Yet, after several dozen rounds of confrontation with Lin Xiu, he remained unfazed.

Unbelievable!

How could there be such an incredible young man?

Why isn't such a genius a member of my Snake People Tribe?

He's so strong. If he were to mate with members of my Snake People Tribe, would his strengths be passed down to his offspring?

The more Medusa thought about it, the farther her thoughts went.

If not for the influence of the companion Soul from the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, she would have wanted to immediately bring Lin Xiu back to the Snake People Tribe and conduct experiments with the tribe members.
