Chapter 34: Even if it's Medusa, wouldn't that be nice?

After introducing the effects of the two pills, Yao Lao smiled at Lin Yan and said,

"Little friend, now do you understand why I told you not to rush into cultivation?"

Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Once again, he realized the benefits of having Yao Lao by his side.

Not only did he provide assistance in cultivation and ensure his safety,

but he also kept his body in peak condition.

One could say that with Yao Lao around, there was no need to worry about hidden dangers in his body!

Yao Lao was always extremely meticulous, eliminating potential risks before they could even arise!

At this moment, Lin Yan had only one thought:

Awesome!

"Senior Yao Lao, do you know what phrase just came to my mind?"

With this thought, Lin Yan turned to Yao Lao and asked.

Yao Lao, curious, replied,

"Little friend, do tell."

Lin Yan grinned,

"Having an elder at home is like having a treasure!"

"With Senior Yao Lao by my side, I can't even count how many dangers you've helped me avoid!"

Hearing this, Yao Lao burst into laughter,

"Little friend, I'd say your mouth is the real treasure! You sure know how to make this old man happy!"

Lin Yan then headed to the Qingyang Town pharmacy to gather medicinal ingredients.

Along the way, he unexpectedly ran into Wu Yun from the Raging Blade Dojo.

This time, Wu Yun was even more respectful than before upon seeing him.

After witnessing Lin Yan's overwhelming strength firsthand,

even someone as proud as Wu Yun couldn't help but feel convinced and impressed.

Thus, not only had the Raging Blade Dojo's leader, Luo Cheng, instructed Wu Yun to befriend Lin Yan,

but Wu Yun himself had the same intention.

"Brother Lin Yan, are you here to get medicine?"

Wu Yun cupped his hands in greeting.

"What a coincidence! Brother Wu Yun, you're here too?"

Lin Yan smiled as he greeted him back.

Wu Yun waved his hand,

"Actually, this pharmacy is a business owned by our Raging Blade Dojo.

I just came by to check on things today."

Lin Yan nodded in mild surprise.

He had visited this place many times but never knew it was owned by the Raging Blade Dojo.

He quickly gathered the herbs he needed, and when Wu Yun saw that he was about to pay, he immediately stopped him.

"Brother Lin Yan, what are you doing?"

"In the future, if you need any medicinal ingredients, just take them!

There's no need to be so formal."

Lin Yan hesitated,

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Wu Yun shoved the money back into his hand,

"What's inappropriate about it, Brother Lin Yan?"

"Not only has our Raging Blade Dojo always had a strong relationship with your Lin family,

but we also benefited from your help in the Hunting Competition."

"So what's a few herbs in comparison?"

"Brother Lin Yan, just accept it!"

Then, Wu Yun feigned anger,

"Or could it be that Brother Lin Yan doesn't want to acknowledge me as a friend?"

Hearing this, Lin Yan could only nod and accept,

"Then I'll gratefully accept Brother Wu Yun's generosity."

Returning home, Lin Yan immediately began refining the Tier 2 pills.

By now, refining Tier 2 pills had become second nature to him.

Following the prescription, he easily produced the two pills.

Once inside, Lin Yan promptly started cultivating Qingyuan Art.

As a Third-Tire Secret Art, Qingyuan Art could only open four meridians.

However, for Lin Yan, the real value of Qingyuan Art lay in testing his earlier theory of a new dual cultivation system.

Thus, he didn't mind the low rank of the technique.

Inside his room, Lin Yan first swallowed the Perception Pill.

As soon as the pill dissolved, he instantly felt his awareness of his body become much clearer.

Following the description in Qingyuan Art, Lin Yan began searching for the special meridians within his body and soon located the first one!

Controlling the soul power within his body, he precisely targeted the slightly obstructed meridian and forcefully surged into it!

The meridian was instantly filled with soul power, and the intense force continuously pressed inward, seemingly trying to force out all of Lin Yan's Yuan Power. This caused him to experience a wave of pain.

However, this pain was something Lin Yan had anticipated.

After swallowing the prepared Nourishing Meridian Pill, Lin Yan once again controlled the Yuan Power within him, sending wave after wave surging inward.

Under this continuous effort to open the path, the previously blocked meridian gradually became smoother.

Over the following period of time—

Lin Yan remained focused on unlocking the special meridians within his body.

And through this process, Lin Yan truly realized how crucial the assistance of pills was.

Without the support of pills, every attempt to open a meridian would have left him in unbearable pain.

Fortunately, with the help of these medicinal pills, each time he sought out a meridian, he was able to locate it perfectly in one attempt. Moreover, during the unlocking process, he could use the pills to nourish his body.

Thus, after a full month of development—

Lin Yan had finally unlocked all four meridians within his body.

As he circulated the Yuan Power inside him once more, he could distinctly feel that its flow had increased several times over!

This meant that in an actual battle, Lin Yan would be able to unleash an even more terrifying level of explosive power!

"Good, good, good!"

"With such incredible effects, this month of bitter cultivation was well worth it."

Feeling the significantly increased circulation speed of his Yuan Power, Lin Yan's face broke into a satisfied smile.

"This is truly remarkable."

"I never expected the techniques of these two worlds to be so complementary. Little friend, your unconventional thinking has truly opened up an entirely new path."

Even Yao Lao couldn't help but praise him after witnessing the results.

Although the cultivation process had been rather troublesome, the results were undeniable.

Even Yao Lao himself, after seeing such remarkable effects, felt somewhat tempted.

If he were to reconstruct his body in the future, he would likely adopt this dual cultivation method to refine his own cultivation system.

"Hiss~"

Just then, a flash of light emerged from the interspatial ring, and a small, nine-colored snake suddenly slithered out, flicking its tongue and affectionately rubbing against Lin Yan's hand.

"So it's you, little one."

"Are you hungry?"

Lin Yan smiled and gently patted the head of the small snake, his gaze soft.

The little snake before him was naturally the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python that Lin Yan had obtained through sign-in at the Hunting Grounds.

Come to think of it, this little snake had been growing at an astonishing rate.

In just a little over a month, it had grown from its initial twenty centimeters to nearly sixty centimeters in length.

Moreover, its strength had also skyrocketed. Previously, when Lin Yan took it to the back mountain to fish, they had encountered several beasts with power equivalent to the seventh or eighth layer of the Temper Body stage—yet the little snake had effortlessly whipped them to death with its tail. Lin Yan estimated that its strength was now approaching the Earth Yuan stage.

The only drawback was its voracious appetite. Fortunately, Lin Yan now had the support of the Lin family, and with his refined pills being far more effective than raw medicinal ingredients, he could still afford to raise this little one.

"Hiss~"

The small snake blinked and called out at Lin Yan again.

"Alright, alright, I'll feed you."

Lin Yan chuckled helplessly.

He quickly retrieved specially crafted fire-attribute and wood-attribute pills and handed them over.

Watching the small snake happily devour its meal and then affectionately rub against his hand, Lin Yan couldn't help but notice—

Her charming mannerisms increasingly resembled Queen Medusa.

This made Lin Yan sigh in realization.

"Ah, could it really be Queen Medusa?"

"It really does feel like her."

"Although..."

"Judging from how close she is to me now, even if she is Queen Medusa, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

At that thought, an image of Queen Medusa's alluring figure surfaced in Lin Yan's mind.

Even he couldn't help but feel his gaze heating up.

No choice—it was just too tempting.
