Chapter 144: Conquering Medusa

The soul of the Sky-Swallowing Python comes from Queen Medusa, and it possesses a part of her power. It is a fifth-level magic beast, equivalent to a Dou Wang strongman.

Generally speaking, the wisdom of a fifth-level magic beast is no worse than that of humans, and it is extremely intelligent.

It is very difficult to subdue it, let down all defenses against Gu Yi, and completely open up his mind and soul.

But the Sky-Swallowing Python is different. It was born from Queen Medusa, but its soul is like a piece of pure white paper, and it is unfamiliar with all things in the world.

What Gu Yi did these days is equivalent to leaving traces of pen and ink on this white paper, dyeing it with his color.

So Gu Yi easily gained the trust of the Sky-Swallowing Python and was full of dependence on Gu Yi.

However, to be on the safe side, Gu Yi still cultivated a relationship with it for another month.

During this period, he tried little by little to let the Sky-Swallowing Python open up his mind.

After seeing that the Sky-Swallowing Python no longer resisted any of Gu Yi's actions, Gu Yi began to act.

Gu Yi mobilized the power of soul and the power of the Heavenly Gate, and branded his mark on the soul of the Heaven-Swallowing Python, which had completely let go of its mind.

——This does not mean that Gu Yi will take the Heaven-Swallowing Python or Queen Medusa to travel through the world, but after the mark is imprinted, Gu Yi will have a greater restraint on her.

Otherwise, ordinary means cannot control the arrogant Queen Medusa.

After killing Queen Medusa, using blood shadow to create a puppet can guarantee loyalty, but her strength is fixed at Dou Zong, and her potential is gone.

Now this mark is more restrictive than the previous one left on Qianlixue and Qinglin's soul.

Because Gu Yi, who has practiced the Canhun Tianshu, has more skillful soul methods and deeper attainments.

The mark left behind is naturally more perfect, adding the characteristics of many abilities such as blood shadow, life and death blood talisman.

Gu Yi can now use the mark to cause the target soul to collapse in a moment.

However, after some experiments, Gu Yi found that the mark left behind could not affect Queen Medusa's soul for the time being.

Because the current Sky-Swallowing Python and Queen Medusa have been divided into two relatively independent souls due to evolution.

Either destroy Queen Medusa's part of the soul and leave only the Sky-Swallowing Python.

But the Sky-Swallowing Python is a part separated from Queen Medusa.

With Gu Yi's current soul attainment, he cannot eliminate the other half of the soul with Queen Medusa's consciousness and memory without hurting the Sky-Swallowing Python.

If he acts rashly, he may destroy both souls together.

Moreover, even if he really succeeds, the Sky-Swallowing Python with half of its soul gone will have its potential wasted.

Even if its bloodline reaches eight colors, it is estimated that it cannot reach the peak of Dou Zun.

Not to mention being promoted to nine colors, breaking through to Dou Sheng, or even raising its bloodline to the level of super beasts in the upper realm, reaching the Heavenly Supreme...

So after thinking about it, Gu Yi decisively gave up this idea.

The only thing left is to let the souls of the Sky-Swallowing Python and Queen Medusa merge back together.

At that time, the mark left by Gu Yi will continue to remain in the new soul of Queen Medusa.

To merge the two souls, all Queen Medusa needs to do is to take a Rongling Pill.

But the difficulty lies in that Queen Medusa is full of resistance and anger towards Gu Yi.

Because Gu Yi's actions towards the Sky-Swallowing Python these days clearly show that he wants to keep her as a pet.

How can Queen Medusa, who is the queen of a clan and has always been arrogant and cold, tolerate this?

In this month, Queen Medusa has repeatedly taken back control of her body from the Sky-Swallowing Python and wanted to fight with Gu Yi.

The result is naturally that she was suppressed by Gu Yi every time and unwillingly turned back into the Sky-Swallowing Python.

So even if Gu Yi refined the Rongling Pill, Queen Medusa would think that Gu Yi wanted to frame her in another way and would not take the initiative to cooperate.

Maybe she would take the opportunity to kill herself.

So Gu Yi decided to talk to Queen Medusa, soothe her emotions, and let her take the Rongling Pill with peace of mind.

On this day, Gu Yi's mind moved, and quietly let the Sky-Swallowing Python's soul fall into a deep sleep.

Without the control of the Sky-Swallowing Python, Queen Medusa immediately seized control of her body.

A beautiful little snake on the bed, flashing with colorful light, quickly turned into a body with bumps and curves, like a ripe peach.

As soon as Queen Medusa appeared, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she immediately condensed colorful energy in her hands, ready to kill Gu Yi.

But Gu Yi was not afraid at all, and smiled at Queen Medusa.

The next second, the restriction in her body was immediately activated, quickly sealing her fighting spirit, and instantly turning her into an ordinary person.

Queen Medusa slapped Gu Yi with a soft palm, which was not threatening at all.

"Human, let me go!! Or kill me!" Medusa gritted her teeth, staring at Gu Yi with murderous intent.

But the charm that she inadvertently revealed in her eyes covered up the murderous intent, and instead revealed an inexplicable temptation.

"I said, my name is Gu Yi." Gu Yi smiled slightly.

"You suddenly turned into a small snake that day. If I hadn't shown mercy, you would have died."

"I'd rather you killed me!" Queen Medusa said coldly.

Queen Medusa's soul was trapped in her body, but she could see something of what was happening in the outside world through the eyes of the Sky-Swallowing Python.

She watched with her own eyes as Gu Yi treated the Sky-Swallowing Python as a pet!

——Of course, Queen Medusa did not find out what Gu Yi did with the Heavenly Gate to the soul of the Sky Devouring Python. Her soul attainment was too weak, and Gu Yi chose to do it when Queen Medusa's soul was asleep.

Now she is a trophy of Gu Yi.

Queen Medusa is so proud that she would rather commit suicide than be humiliated by Gu Yi.

Unfortunately, Queen Medusa, who was under the ban, could not even understand herself.

"If you die, what about the snake tribe?" Gu Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, you don't want the snake tribe to be extinct from now on."

Queen Medusa looked ugly.

This is exactly what she was worried about.

Queen Medusa attaches great importance to her own tribe. In order to win a better territory for her tribe, she is willing to use strange fire to carry out extremely dangerous evolution and forcefully break through from Douhuang to Douzong.

Otherwise, if she is given more than ten years, Queen Medusa can use a more reliable method to slowly cultivate to Douzong on her own.

If she dies, the snake people will have to suffer in the Tagor Desert for who knows how long.

And the surrounding empires all know that she has broken through to Dou Zong.

It's okay in the short term, because of her fierce reputation, the empires will not do anything to the snake people.

But if she doesn't show up for a long time and the snake people don't expand outward, the Gama Empire will definitely try to see if she is still alive.

If they know that she is no longer in the snake tribe.

The Gama Empire will probably join forces to eradicate the snake people.

Because they won't let the snake people have new Dou Zong masters.

What's more, there is an enemy here that is more powerful than the Gama Empire.

That is the human in front of him!

After this month of "contact", Queen Medusa already knows Gu Yi's identity, knowing that he is only seventeen years old, but he is already a Dou Wang, and has the strength of a Dou Zong.

If he wants, he can exterminate the snake people at any time.

"Actually, I want to let you go, that's fine." Gu Yi said, "As long as you can take out a strange fire ranked in the top ten of the strange fire list, or a treasure of equal value to an eighth-level magic beast, I will let you go, how about that?"

Queen Medusa's expression froze, but her eyes were still fierce.

Gu Yi chuckled, "Your Majesty, you should know how precious your blood is."

"Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, this is a powerful magic beast that only existed in ancient times, and its value is not lower than that of an eighth-level magic beast."

"So my request is not excessive, right?"

Queen Medusa was silent, and after a moment she said, "If you let me go, I will send you a strange fire or a treasure of equal value in the future."

"That won't do." Gu Yi shook his head, "Who knows if you will never come back."

Seeing that Queen Medusa was uncompromising, Gu Yi pretended to think and made a roundabout suggestion.

"How about this, I will no longer force you to turn back into the Sky-Swallowing Python. You will stay by my side and be my follower in the future."

"As long as you make enough contributions to me in the future, such as helping me obtain treasures worth more than you, or killing some enemies, I will set you free, how about that?"

The face of Queen Medusa changed, and the pride in her heart made her want to insist on dying rather than surrendering.

But thinking of the situation of the snake people, Queen Medusa nodded silently.

"I can be your follower, but I will only help you kill people, and you cannot make excessive demands!"

"If not..." Queen Medusa gritted her teeth, her eyes were fierce.

"Okay." Gu Yi smiled faintly.

Gu Yi looked at Queen Medusa and said, "You don't have to resist being my follower."

"You should know that I am a sixth-grade alchemist. With me here, you will not lack the resources you need for your future practice. Following me, the time it takes for you to become a Dou Zun or Dou Sheng will be greatly reduced."

"For example, this pill is very suitable for you now..."

As he spoke, Gu Yi handed the paper recording the efficacy of Rong Ling Dan to Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa glanced and saw the introduction of the sixth-grade high-level pill Rong Ling Dan, which can fuse the soul and the body and can quickly restore the soul.

This is the best pill for Queen Medusa, whose soul is divided into two.

"Can you refine this Rong Ling Dan?" Queen Medusa's eyes lit up.

She had had enough of the feeling of her body being out of control, and she just wanted to fuse the soul of the Swallowing Sky Python back as soon as possible.

"I don't have the recipe for this pill yet, and I can't make it for the time being." Gu Yi smiled slightly, "But I'll get it soon."

The recipe for Rongling Pill is the reward for the champion of the Jiama Empire Alchemist Conference held in a few months.

The recipe of the Douqi Continent is written with soul power, and the number of times it can be read is limited.

In addition, this recipe is not the private collection of President Fa Ma, but the internal property of the Alchemist Guild.

So even if Gu Yi is Fa Ma's disciple, he can't break the rules and take the recipe in advance.

If he wants, he must win the conference competition.

Gu Yi is not in a hurry for this.

It just so happens that with Gu Yi's current level of alchemy, he can't make Rongling Pill with a 100% success rate.

And he doesn't have the medicinal materials to make Rongling Pill now.

In these few months, Gu Yi can continue to improve his own soul power, transform the alchemy experience in the memory of the Venerable into his own, and integrate it, and improve his alchemy to the sixth-grade advanced/Xuan-level upper grade.

Of course, Gu Yi could still learn about the medicinal materials needed for the Rong Ling Pill from Fa Ma in advance and collect them in advance.

After hearing Gu Yi's plan, Queen Medusa calmed down.

But Gu Yi's next words made her raise her eyebrows.

"But if you want to get this Soul Melting Pill, you must make a contribution no less than its value, or exchange it for a treasure of the same value."

Gu Yi said: "Your life and freedom are still in my hands, and they need to be exchanged for treasures. Naturally, this elixir and the elixirs needed for future cultivation are no exception."

"Okay!" Queen Medusa gritted her teeth.

‘Wait for now, when the deal is completed, I will definitely make you look good! ’

From Queen Medusa's point of view, being a follower is a transaction, and the transaction ends after paying a treasure or contribution equivalent to the entire net worth of a powerful fighter.

Until then…

Queen Medusa didn't believe that Gu Yi would always be stronger than her.

As long as she becomes a high-level Douzong, or a Douzun, and has a deeper understanding of the power of space, she can definitely surpass Gu Yi.

At that time, Gu Yi will naturally have to pay the price.

Gu Yi's perception was so sharp that he naturally felt the murderous intent of Queen Medusa's gaze.

But he didn't care.

As long as the Fusion Spirit Pill is refined and the souls of Queen Medusa and the Sky-Swallowing Python can be fused, then Queen Medusa is out of the question.

…

After reaching the follower agreement, Gu Yi did not let Queen Medusa transform back into a sky-swallowing python.

Through the mark, Gu Yi caused the soul of the Sky-Swallowing Python to fall into a deep sleep.

However, Queen Medusa felt that it was her soul power that suppressed the Sky-Swallowing Python.

After all, as long as Gu Yi doesn't use force to suppress her, the Sky-Swallowing Python is indeed inferior to Queen Medusa, and her body is naturally dominated by her.

So after evolving with strange fire, Queen Medusa still maintained her human form.

Only after being knocked down on the sand dune by Gu Yi's move and falling into a coma did the Sky-Swallowing Python come out.

Temporarily leaving Queen Medusa in his exclusive alchemy room, Gu Yi headed towards the eastern area of ​​the Alchemist Guild.

This is the place where the Alchemist Guild trades treasures. Many alchemists trade medicinal materials, prescriptions, elixirs, medicinal cauldrons, etc. here.

As soon as Gu Yi stepped into this place, he immediately attracted the eager and admiring eyes of countless people.

News of the battle between the Snake Tribes spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire within this month.

Everyone in the imperial capital doesn't know that Gu Yi is already a powerful Dou Wang, possessing the strange fire Qinglian Earth Heart Fire!

King Dou, this is the top powerhouse of the Jia Ma Empire.

Rumor has it that Gu Yi can still fight Queen Medusa!

Such amazing strength is one of the best in the Jia Ma Empire!

Even the arrogant alchemists from the Alchemist Guild are full of awe for such a strong man.

Not to mention, in addition to his powerful strength, Gu Yi's alchemy skills are also amazing.

There is news in the guild that Gu Yi has become a fifth-grade alchemist!

Because someone in Gu Yi's alchemy room smelled the rich fragrance of elixirs that surpassed the fourth-grade elixirs, and felt the energy ripples that only appeared in fifth-grade elixirs and above! !

This news is even more shocking than when Gu Yi is the King of Dou.

Because of the strong fighting king, there will be another one in the Jiama Empire every one or two years.

But there may not be a fifth-grade alchemist in decades! !

There are no more than two hands of fifth-grade alchemists in the Jiama Empire! !

So it’s no wonder these people look so adoringly.

Gu Yi has become accustomed to these looks.

In the past month, he has come to the eastern region several times.

So I didn't care, but just scanned the square platforms with various treasures along the way.

With his current vision, most of the things here are not pleasing to the eye.

Only a few rare medicinal materials that can be used as auxiliary materials for refining high-grade elixirs can make him stop and buy them.
