"What do you want?" Medusa asked in a deep voice.
Hearing Medusa's question, Xiao Xue smiled slightly; she knew she had succeeded.
Talking to smart people is always convenient.
The Snake-People Clan was surrounded by four countries, and three of them had Dou Zong.
The fact that the Snake-People Clan still existed and lived well under these circumstances showed that Medusa was definitely not a brainless brute.
Having witnessed her talent and potential, the chips in her hand were enough to make Medusa tempted.
If not for being trapped at the Peak Dou Huang Realm for many years, Medusa would not have been willing to use the power of the Heavenly Flame to evolve.
Because the success rate was too low, and failure meant death.
Therefore, smart people know what choices to make.
Xiao Xue did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Queen, do you have the ice spirit cold spring and the ice spirit cold marrow?"
"I only need these things; the rest are not of much use to me."
"Oh, right, I have also long admired the Snake-People Clan... I am also very interested in your methods of controlling poison and commanding snakes."
Although what she really wanted was Medusa herself, she couldn't just say that out loud.
Anyway, as long as Medusa agreed to her terms now, this Saint-Grade level fighter would eventually be in her pocket.
However, if she only asked for a little ice spirit cold spring and ice spirit cold marrow, it would be too cheap, and might even make Medusa suspicious.
The Snake-People Clan's methods of controlling poison and commanding snakes were good things for Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, and not too precious for the Snake-People Clan.
So this price was quite reasonable.
"...I need to see your sincerity." After hesitating for a moment, Medusa said.
Clearly, Medusa was moved by Xiao Xue's terms.
Unlike the original text where Medusa captured a wild Heavenly Flame, this time, she found Xiao Xue, who had already refined a Heavenly Flame.
Therefore, Medusa did not need to build a pool with the ice spirit cold spring to trap the Heavenly Flame, so the ice spirit cold spring was useless to her.
And although the ice spirit cold marrow was considered a rare treasure, compared to the future of the Snake-People Clan, it was obviously not as important.
As for the methods of controlling poison and commanding snakes, they did not involve the secrets and Legacy of the Snake-People Clan, so giving a portion to Xiao Xue was fine.
"...I need to see your sincerity."
Xiao Xue smiled slightly and extended her left hand, with pink flames swirling around it.
Medusa, who originally hated flames, looked at the pink flames in Xiao Xue's palm with a strange expression.
"Huh? Why don't I hate this flame at all, but instead feel a sense of familiarity?"
"This is the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, one of the Heavenly Flames, which can strengthen the body of Demonic Beasts and activate their Bloodline," Xiao Xue explained perfectly.
Medusa looked at the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire in Xiao Xue's hand, and she half-believed what she had just said.
Moreover, under her perception, Xiao Xue's Soul Power was indeed very strong, stronger than her own.
As for the Alchemist Rank, judging from the vision not long ago, it certainly would not be lower than Rank 5.
However...
"Who exactly are you?" Medusa couldn't help but ask.
A fifteen-year-old, One-Star Dou Ling, a Rank 5 or even Sixth-Rank Alchemist—could a Genius of this level be an ordinary person?
If she couldn't know Xiao Xue's identity, Medusa wasn't stupid enough to entrust her life entirely to an unknown human.
"Oh, I'm just an ordinary person, a disciple of a Grade 8 Alchemist from the Pill Tower in the Central Plains."
"You understand what a Grade 8 Alchemist is, right? The kind that can wipe out your Snake-People Clan just by calling a Dou Zun."
Medusa: "..."
Medusa's eyes twitched wildly. She was skeptical, but she didn't dare to gamble on whether what Xiao Xue said was true or false.
If a Dou Zun powerhouse had left behind some life-saving measures for Xiao Xue, that was simply not something she, a Peak Dou Huang, could withstand.
Moreover, the pressure of the Half-step Dou Zong just now could not be fake.
"Don't worry, I don't look down on the little bit of influence your Snake-People Clan has," Xiao Xue said, seeing Medusa's concerns, and directly reassured her.
