章節 140: Chapter 140: Negotiation

Medusa gave Xiao Ming the same feeling that Jia Xing Tian had given him in Jia Ma Sacred City, clearly being at peak Dou Emperor.

As for the two behind her, the bald Snake-Person was only slightly weaker than Medusa, and his strength should be in high star Dou Emperor.

And the Snake Woman beside the man, on the other hand, was about the same as Yue Mei, in the Dou King realm.

The first moment Xiao Ming saw Medusa, Medusa and the other two also saw Xiao Ming.

However, the three of them were a little surprised by Xiao Ming's young appearance, especially Queen Medusa, since her realm was the highest among them all.

Moreover, the snake's own physique was cold, so she clearly sensed the extremely hot flame aura on Xiao Ming's body.

Having traversed the Tager Desert for decades, it was the first time Medusa felt such a fiery aura on a person.

This made her narrow her eyes, it was not known what she was thinking.

"Your Majesty." When Yue Mei saw Medusa, she immediately bowed respectfully.

"Hm." Queen Medusa nodded slightly, then wagged her snake tail and walked over to the purple crystal throne that sat atop the high dais in the center of the Great Hall and sat down.

With a glance at the few people still standing, Queen Medusa raised her hand and said softly, "Be seated."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As Yue Mei and the others sat down, Medusa rested her face on her right hand and asked with an even tone, "Yue Mei, you left yesterday, but why did you come back suddenly today? You even brought a human into the Sacred City, don't you know that humans are not allowed to set foot in the Sacred City?"

At Medusa's question, Yue Mei, who had just sat down, unhurriedly stood up and replied.

"Your Majesty, this man is a sixth-tier Alchemist, and since he wanted to come to the Sacred City in exchange for a Sand's Datura, he asked me to bring him to the Sacred City to see you, Your Majesty."

Medusa nodded softly at this, accepting her statement without saying anything.

However, the bald Snake-Person sitting closest to her seat on the throne frowned and said.

"Oh, asking for the Sand's Datura? Since when did you become so friendly with human scum, Yue Mei? The Sand's Datura is very valuable to our clan, why don't you tell him to go back where he came from first!? For this little whitey to have the strength of a Dou King at this age is already extremely unbelievable, plus a sixth-tier Alchemist? Heh! You haven't taken a liking to this little whitey, have you?".

Obviously, the bald Snake-Person did not believe Yue Mei's words, and there was a lot of gunpowder in his words, but of course, this gunpowder was mainly directed at Xiao Ming.

This made Xiao Ming frown, 'It is true that just as Yue Mei said, most of the strongest Snake-People are not friendly to humans.'

At the bald man's questions, Yue Mei frowned, then stretched and smiled.

"The Grand Commander doesn't know anything, Master Xiao Ming is stronger than me and didn't attack the Mei Snake Tribe before I returned to the tribe, so he shouldn't have any hostility towards the Snake-People, and besides, he is an Elder of the Alchemy Department of the Jia Nan Academy, the Grand Commander should have heard of the name of the Jia Nan Academy."

"Hmph, you are confused! This man needed you for something, that's why he didn't attack your Mei Snake Tribe, if he didn't need you, let's see how he would have treated you, humans are very cunning, after so many years of fighting humans, have you still not seen their character clearly?" The Grand Commander smiled disdainfully.

"And this man said he wanted a Sand's Datura, but which sixth-tier Alchemist would risk so much to enter our tribe just for a simple medicinal herb? If you think about it, it's not something possible, I'm afraid this person has an ulterior motive!"

"This..." Hearing the Grand Commander say this, Yue Mei was also somewhat at a loss, however, she still did not believe that the Grand Commander was right.

Therefore, she turned her gaze directly to Medusa, who was sitting on the throne.

"That's all." Medusa stopped the Grand Commander's words.

Upon being stopped by Queen Medusa, the Grand Commander immediately shut his mouth.

Medusa turned her gaze towards Xiao Ming and said, "Human, you heard the conversation just now, our Snake-People Tribe does not welcome humans, however, remembering that you are someone brought by Yue Mei, this Queen does not want to make things difficult for you."

"My tribe's Sand's Datura are all rationed, one less and one of our gifted tribe members won't be able to fuse with a magical snake-type beast, as long as you can pull out a similar herb and promise to make a pill for my Snake-People Tribe once, I can do you the favor and trade you the Sand's Datura, how about it?"

"This..." Xiao Ming felt speechless, although he had a lot of medicinal herbs in his storage ring, he really didn't have any medicinal herbs that would help the Snake-People fuse with snakes, so how could he exchange something?

After thinking about it, Xiao Ming took out a jade box from his storage ring.

The moment Xiao Ming took out the jade box, Queen Medusa and Yue Mei immediately felt the urge to open the jade box as if there was something inside that contained a deadly attraction for them.

Feeling this impulse that she seemed to have never felt before, Medusa looked at the jade box with some surprise and said, "What is this?"

Xiao Ming did not stop and opened the jade box indifferently, Medusa and the others only felt the deadly charm become even stronger, and their eyes were fixed on the revealed medicinal herb.

The revealed medicinal herb was in the shape of a foot-sized green snake with a crystalline body, and under the light of the moonstone in the Great Hall, a dark green liquid could be seen flowing inside.

Looking at the medicinal herb, the Grand Commander swallowed hard and said, "Human, what kind of medicinal herb is this?"

Xiao Ming looked at the four people staring at the jade box in his hand and smiled slightly, "You must have heard of the name of this medicinal herb, its name is Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit." (TL: Named in chapter 41)

"It's really the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit!"

Yue Mei and the others were a little surprised at these words, and then felt somewhat relieved, no wonder this medicinal herb attracted them so much.

It was a very rare medicinal herb, and if it was refined into a pill, the effect was even more extraordinary. This medicinal herb was naturally of little use to humans, but to the Snake-People Tribe, it was comparable to a divine medicine.

Although the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit had a miraculous effect on snake-type magical beasts, the rarity of this medicinal herb was so high that Yue Mei and the others had only read a few words about this medicinal herb in the Snake-People Tribe's secret books.

"Human, do you really want to exchange the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit for the Sand's Datura?" Medusa's eyes sparkled as she asked.

"This is natural, I don't have any herbs similar to Sand's Datura with me besides this medicinal herb."

"Well, we agree on this matter, however, I have one more condition."

"What is the condition?"

"Refine it into a pill that will help me evolve!"

Xiao Ming twisted his lips wordlessly at her words, the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit was the same as Body Transformation Grass, although both possessed certain effects if consumed directly, for them to work on a Dou Emperor like Medusa, they still had to be refined into a pill.

The pill refined from the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit, called the Snake Sacred Soul Advancement Pill, was not much lower in tier, and was also a seventh-tier high-level pill.

Even if he could refine it, he wouldn't do it. For a simple Sand's Datura, it was already enough to give the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit in return, wasn't it?

So Xiao Ming immediately said, "Queen Medusa, I'm only a mere sixth-tier Alchemist, the pill that can help you evolve is seventh-tier, I'm afraid I can't refine it."

"Hehe, naturally, I know, however, you can reach sixth-tier Alchemist at this age, with the support of my Snake-People Tribe, seventh-tier won't take you more than a few years."

Medusa looked at Xiao Ming, her red lips drew a thin bow, and suddenly, her exquisite face was filled with a seductive aura, her frown and smile caused the Snake-People Grand Commander below her to be distracted, and the look of adoration in his eyes was not hidden in the slightest.
