Chapter 175: It's Settled!

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, a cold expression flashed across Han Feng's face, and he smirked, "Tell Gold and Silver Elders, if possible, to capture Lin Xiu alive!"

"Yes!"

Han Beng responded promptly.

After waiting for two seconds without any further sound, he raised his head again and saw the door closed. Only then did he straighten up and quietly retreat.

In the Black-Corner Region, those who offend the master never have a good end!

Exiting the courtyard, a fierce look crossed Han Beng's face, "Lin Xiu, you're no exception!"

...

The radiance didn't last long.

As Lin Xiu sealed the Pill into a bottle, the light dispersed.

"Let's leave here first."

Leaving these words behind, Lin Xiu chose a direction and swiftly departed.

Medusa, still filled with a look of astonishment, quickly regained her senses and hurried to catch up.

"He actually refined a Sixth Grade Pill just like that."

Even witnessing it with her own eyes, Medusa was still somewhat shocked.

There weren't many complicated reasons behind it.

Just one: Lin Xiu was too young.

Even if he started learning from a young age, there wouldn't be enough energy to excel in so many aspects and still remain at the top in each.

She stared at Lin Xiu's back, her expression changing constantly.

Silence prevailed along the way.

After a while, Lin Xiu stopped under a tree. "Here."

He poured out a round Pill from the bottle and handed it to Queen Medusa.

The Pill emitted a faint glow, its intricate patterns visible even in the darkness of night.

The strong medicinal fragrance instantly filled the area.

Taking a light breath, Medusa felt her Soul cheering as if in jubilation.

With delicate and fair fingers, she picked up the Spirit Fusion Pill from Lin Xiu's palm and brought it to her mouth, pausing abruptly.

"Is this really the Spirit Fusion Pill?" Medusa's eyes flashed with caution.

"I refined it according to the prescription anyway," Lin Xiu stared at Medusa's exotic pupils. "Are you afraid I tampered with the Pill?"

Medusa's expression froze for a moment, a hint of unease flashing across her face as if her thoughts had been guessed. The words Lin Xiu had spoken not long ago seemed to echo in her ears.

"Are you regretting it now? As long as you apologize, I will tell you if there's anything wrong with the Pill." Lin Xiu gave a somewhat audacious smile.

"I've been watching the entire process, so there shouldn't be any issues. But..." Medusa hesitated 'I don't understand alchemy myself, and Lin Xiu's skill in alchemy is extremely high. Even if he tried something in front of me, I wouldn't necessarily notice.'

Medusa suddenly found herself in a dilemma.

The dignity of the Queen of the Snake People Tribe would never allow her to bow to a human.

But the Spirit Fusion Pill was right in front of her. Should she not take it?

As long as she consumed it, the hidden dangers of the associated Soul would be eliminated. She could completely control this body and become a true Dou Ancestor.

At that moment, Medusa saw Lin Xiu pouring out another Spirit Fusion Pill.

What was he planning to do?

She stared closely, afraid of missing any important details.

A glimmer flashed on her ring.

The semi-transparent figure of an old man appeared out of thin air.

"A Soul body? How is he like Xiao Yan, having a Soul companion as well?" Medusa was taken aback.

Venerable Tian Huo, awakened, was still somewhat bewildered, staring blankly at Lin Xiu.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Xiu suddenly rubbed his fingertips and flicked a strand of liquid over.

Driven by the desire deep within his Soul, Venerable Tian Huo set aside all thoughts and made contact with the liquid using his Soul.

The next moment,

Like an electrified painting wall, Venerable Tian Huo's nearly transparent Soul body quickly solidified.

A brilliant smile bloomed on his aged face.

"A Pill for repairing the Soul! Good stuff! Where did you get it from?" Yao Tian Huo exclaimed with great joy.

After many years, he hadn't expected his Soul body to recover so quickly. Though there was still some way to go to reach his peak, this was a promising sign of recovery.

"You don't need to worry about that. I've already taken action. What about your end?" Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow, hinting with his eyes.

"Wait a moment!" Yao Tian Huo understood implicitly, taking out three sets of Dou Techniques and handing them to Lin Xiu.

Three sets of Black Rank High-level Dou Techniques? Not bad.

After a quick glance, Lin Xiu calmly accepted them.

"Lin Xiu, if you can help me fully recover, I have a self-created Dou Technique that I can pass on to you. Trust me, if this Dou Technique can be perfected and meets the requirements, its power will be no weaker than a Heaven Rank Dou Technique."

Yao Tian Huo blinked.

He believed that a Dou Technique capable of rivaling a Heaven Rank Dou Technique would definitely have strong allure.

Heaven Rank Dou Technique?!

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing this, Medusa took in a sharp breath, her beautiful eyes widening to their fullest.

A self-created Heaven Rank Dou Technique... Was this old man in his lifetime a Dou Saint?

Sensing Lin Xiu's gaze, which seemed to mock her lack of worldly experience, Medusa immediately adopted a cold and proud expression.

It was as if the gasp just now had nothing to do with her.

"To resurrect you, first, I need a body capable of bearing your Soul. I will keep this in mind," Lin Xiu nodded calmly, raising the hand adorned with the ring.

Seeing this, Venerable Tian Huo also understood that now was not an appropriate time for further conversation.

His Soul, on the brink of collapse, suddenly received an infusion of power. He was somewhat disoriented, to the extent that he hadn't even noticed there were others present just moments ago.

"Lin Xiu, I, Venerable Tian Huo, have roamed the continent and never go back on my word," he emphasized finally, retracting his spiritual form into the ring.

"Venerable Tian Huo? Is this the soul of a powerful Dou Venerate?" Medusa looked at Lin Xiu in astonishment.

"Whether it is or not has nothing to do with you, Queen Medusa," Lin Xiu ignored Medusa's gritted teeth expression, "I've given you the Pill, now hurry and restore your strength, and give me the blood of the Seventh Rank Magic Beast."

"What does a human like you need Magic Beast blood for?" Curiosity flashed in Medusa's eyes.

"This also has nothing to do with you. It wasn't part of our previous deal," Lin Xiu maintained his rebellious stance, the more she wanted to know, the more curious she became, and the less he said.

"Fine! You're stubborn. Once I completely master the power of a Dou Ancestor, I'll pry your mouth open!"

Medusa's chest heaved as her teeth ground together audibly. She couldn't believe that mastering the power of a Dou Ancestor would still leave her at the mercy of a mere 1-Star Dou Emperor.

Without further hesitation, Medusa popped the Pill into her mouth. Since both Pills were concocted together and the previous spiritual body had no issues, she had nothing to worry about.

After taking the Pill, Medusa transformed into the Heaven Swallowing Python, wrapping around Lin Xiu's wrist. Now, all that remained was to digest the medicinal power and await the fusion of Souls.

Glancing at his wrist, Lin Xiu lowered his hand, his sleeve slipping down to cover the form of the Heaven Swallowing Python. He slowly raised his head, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "Everything's settled now."

Standing still for a moment, Lin Xiu dashed towards the direction of the Academy. The main objective this time was to refine the Spirit Fusion Pill. Once he obtained the blood of the Seventh Rank Magic Beast, he could break through his Aptitude and advance his Physique towards that of a Seventh Rank Magic Beast.

"Seventh Rank Magic Beast Physique. Even if I am a Dou Emperor, who at the same level could withstand a punch from a Seventh Rank Magic Beast?"

Lin Xiu always kept Han Feng's situation in mind. As a Sixth Grade Alchemist, the wealth he would hold could be incredibly abundant. It's important to note that high-level Alchemists often refine Pills that can't be bought with money but instead require items of equivalent value in exchange, or even favors.

After so many years in the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng's possessions must be quite substantial.

"To refine a body capable of containing a Soul, Flame Mantra is also indispensable."

As Lin Xiu hurried along, he planned ahead. By the time dawn broke, the gates of the inner courtyard were already within sight.
