Chapter 257: The Four Pavilions Conference
A spatial black hole unleashed a terrifying energy storm. Xiao Ze quickly closed the spatial crack, preventing the energy from emerging. "The Emperor Seal Technique is truly a legacy technique comparable to a celestial technique," thought Xiao Ze. "After combining the three seals, if I used it inside this elder tower, it would instantly destroy it."
Xiao Ze opened the door of the secret chamber and saw Medusa sitting on a chair, with Qing Lin standing in front of her. "Young Master Xiao Ze!" Hearing the door, Qing Lin quickly turned around, showing a joyful expression upon seeing him. However, she noticed that Xiao Ze looked different. Before, although she couldn't discern his true power, she felt he was unfathomable. Now, he seemed like an ordinary person, without a trace of danger. This feeling left her stunned.
Seeing the tension between them, Xiao Ze approached Qing Lin, patting her head and addressing Medusa. "Queen Medusa, how is it that you are here? It seems you have fully merged with the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python," said Xiao Ze, examining her.
Medusa immediately stood up upon hearing Xiao Ze. Despite her pride, she knew her position and power didn't give her the right to be arrogant in front of him. Medusa nodded and responded, "I have fully merged with the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python thanks to your previous help, enhancing my power to the pinnacle of the seventh level."
"Being my guardian is not beneath you?" added Xiao Ze. Medusa was surprised that Medusa took her guardian role so seriously. "Of course, a pinnacle Dou Zong expert is quite respectable in Zhongzhou," nodded Xiao Ze. "But with my current power, a guardian at the pinnacle of Dou Zong is not of great use."
Medusa clenched her fists, feeling a mix of frustration and determination. Despite her royal lineage among magical beasts, her progress didn't match Xiao Ze's. "So, what do you want to do?" asked Medusa, fearing Xiao Ze no longer needed her.
"Naturally, to enhance your power. A Dou Zun warrior would be much more useful," replied Xiao Ze with a smile. Then, he turned to Qing Lin. "Qing Lin, you absorbed part of the soul of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent. Shouldn't there be enough energy left for you to reach Dou Zun?"
Qing Lin nodded: "Yes, there's still enough. Besides, the other serpent beings I control are providing me with douqi."
"Both of you are close to advancing. I'll prepare two Dou Zun Condensation Pills to increase your chances," said Xiao Ze.
"But… Xiao Ze, I've just reached the peak of the seventh level. I'm not sure I can advance to Dou Zun," admitted Medusa.
"Don't worry. I found a Thousand-Year Blood Crystal. No one else can use it, so we'll use it to strengthen your power," said Xiao Ze. "But in return, you'll have to double your time as my guardian. Do you accept?"
Medusa swallowed, knowing how valuable the crystal was for improving her lineage. Although she wouldn't reach the level of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, advancing by one more color would be a significant achievement.
"I accept!" exclaimed Medusa enthusiastically.
"Alright, get ready for your advancement. I'll prepare the pills," concluded Xiao Ze, sending both of them to their respective training chambers.
Now that Xiao Ze had reached the Dou Zun level, making eighth-level pills was easier for him. Before, his success rate was 50%, but now, he had a high probability of success.
The elders and disciples of the Sacred Alchemy Tower, used to the frequent lightning caused by Xiao Ze's pill-making, were increasingly astonished.
Even the three presidents inside the black tower commented with laughter.
"We should consider advancing Xiao Ze's entry into the Little Alchemy Tower. With his frequent creations, other clans might think the Alchemy Tower has an endless supply of high-level pills," said Xuan Kongzi.
"Every year, the requests for high-level pills almost form a mountain. If others find out about this, they'll believe the Alchemy Tower has a huge stock," added Xuan Yi, laughing.
"I think we should take advantage of the upcoming Four Corners Pavilion Conference to introduce Xiao Ze and settle this matter. This way, we can prevent him from becoming too obsessed with alchemy," suggested Tian Leizi.
Both nodded, and Xuan Kongzi concluded, "As the future leader of the Alchemy Tower, Xiao Ze must be presented at the conference. This way, they won't just hear about him, they'll see him."

Chapter 258: Intimate Contact with Them
As the five-colored lightning ceased, Xiao Ze clenched his fist, and the light of the lightning flickered in his hand.
The strength of the lightning in Xiao Ze's body was now very abundant, and he was also further perfecting his agility combat technique.
If he had another chance, he could improve his agility combat technique even more.
As he continued his contact with the lightning, perhaps one day, Xiao Ze could have an epiphany and create his own celestial-level agility combat technique.
Just thinking about a celestial-level agility combat technique made Xiao Ze's heart race.
Because for Xiao Ze, this was not impossible.
Not only because he frequently contacted the lightning, but most importantly, due to the feedback from Xun Er!
The agility combat techniques that Xun Er practiced, after being returned ten times, all became the foundation of the combat technique created by Xiao Ze.
After calming his emotions, Xiao Ze carefully stored the Condensation Pill and handed it to Medusa, who was already waiting behind him.
The first Condensation Pill, of course, was for Qing Lin.
Medusa took the medicine bottle and felt the powerful medicinal power emanating from it.
"By the way, this is the Thousand-Year Origin Blood Crystal, remember not to touch it with your hand." Xiao Ze took out a storage ring and handed it to Medusa.
Medusa received it somewhat dazedly and reflexively checked its contents. Seeing the large Thousand-Year Origin Blood Crystal, her breathing quickened.
Looking at Xiao Ze, who was smiling, Medusa bit her lips and suddenly knelt on one knee.
"Xiao Ze, I don't know why you're so good to me, giving me such precious natural treasures and high-level medicinal pills."
"But I, Medusa, swear here that from now on, I will let you guide me. No matter if I face threats of death or mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will stand in front of you!"
Seeing Medusa making such a solemn vow, Xiao Ze was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had given Medusa too many resources, to the point where she didn't know how to react.
Xiao Ze reached out to lift Medusa and said with a smile, "Saying this, are you extending your protection time to a lifetime?"
Hearing this, Medusa smiled charmingly and directly hugged Xiao Ze, whispering in his ear, "Yes!"
Then, before Xiao Ze could enjoy Medusa's embrace, she slipped away like a beautiful snake.
Both looked into each other's eyes, knowing that their relationship had taken a step forward.
They were no longer limited to the previous contractual relationship, but were now closer companions, even lifelong protective partners.
"I'm going into seclusion now. With these two things you gave me, I'm sure I can break through to the Dou Zun level, and then I will be qualified to fight by your side."
Medusa said softly, not expecting to be stronger than Xiao Ze, but wanting to fight by his side.
"Wait, extend your hand."
Xiao Ze suddenly called Medusa, who didn't understand why.
However, out of trust in Xiao Ze, she extended her right hand as he asked.
Xiao Ze placed his hand on the back of Medusa's hand.
Medusa felt the warmth coming from Xiao Ze's palm, her face blushed, but soon she felt a burning warmth.
After a while, Xiao Ze lifted his hand, and Medusa saw a new mark on the back of her hand: a small golden tree.
"What is this?"
"A layer of protection. This is my primordial strength, with which you can communicate with me over long distances. If you encounter danger, I can follow the sensation and arrive quickly."
Xiao Ze briefly explained without delving into the small golden tree.
Medusa felt the power contained in it and nodded, amazed by the magic of the small golden tree.
"Then I'm going into seclusion now."
Xiao Ze watched her leave, then looked to the side and said with a smile, "Girl, when did you learn to be stealthy?"
At the other door leading to the top of the tower, Qing Lin timidly emerged.
"Hehe, I saw Young Master Xiao Ze hugging Queen Medusa and thought it would be better not to interrupt…"
Xiao Ze rolled his eyes and beckoned Qing Lin over.
"Extend your hand."
Qing Lin, who had seen the previous scene, obediently extended her right hand.
Xiao Ze also left a mark of the small golden tree on the back of Qing Lin's hand.
Qing Lin curiously observed her hand and said, "With this, can I communicate over long distances with Young Master Xiao Ze?"
Xiao Ze nodded, and then heard Qing Lin's voice through the small golden tree.
"I also want to hug Young Master Xiao Ze like Queen Medusa."
Xiao Ze laughed and extended his arms, making Qing Lin's face turn red as a tomato.
"I… just wanted to try it, didn't think… Young Master Xiao Ze, did you hear me?"
Seeing Xiao Ze nodding, Qing Lin was somewhat confused.
She had only used her soul power to touch the small golden tree reflexively and murmured in her heart, not realizing she had spoken her thoughts out loud.
But seeing Xiao Ze with open arms, Qing Lin also moved forward with a red face, hugging him head-on.
Although she had served alongside Xiao Ze for years and had considerable contact with him, even being carried when she was weaker, she rarely hugged him like this, feeling his warmth.
Feeling the warmth in his chest, Xiao Ze noticed how much Qing Lin had changed over the years, marveling at her growth.
Especially with the blood of the serpent tribe, her figure had become more curvaceous.
Feeling the warmth emanating from her face, he knew how red Qing Lin's face was, and her body trembled slightly.
Xiao Ze patted her back, calming her down.
With Xiao Ze's reassurance, Qing Lin's body relaxed, placing her hands on Xiao Ze's shoulders, allowing him to hold her by the waist.
"Alright, little one, it's time to prepare for your advancement."
Qing Lin shivered at these words, then moved away from Xiao Ze's embrace, covering her rear with her hands and looking at Xiao Ze with a mix of shyness and flirtation.
"Young Master Xiao Ze!"
Xiao Ze shrugged at Qing Lin's reproach.
"I… am going into seclusion too!"
Qing Lin quickly ran in the other direction, while Xiao Ze rubbed his hands, noticing how much the little one had grown over the years.
Soft and firm.
The small golden tree Xiao Ze left on their hands was an ability derived from his transformation.
Basically, it involved plucking a golden root from the Origin Tree, turning it into a small golden tree.
Due to the special connection between the golden root and the Origin Tree, Xiao Ze could communicate with the holders of the small golden tree, even thousands of kilometers away.
Unfortunately, when Xun Er returned to her clan, Xiao Ze had not yet mastered this ability, otherwise, he wouldn't have been without news from Xun Er for these years.
Additionally, the golden roots have many uses. Becoming a small golden tree for communication is just one of their minor functions.
The small golden tree also has attack and defense capabilities, and when Xiao Ze improves his ability to cross space, he could even break the space and reach directly to the holder of the small golden tree.
