When Xiao Xue headed home, Medusa naturally followed along the entire way, not feeling at ease leaving her alone.
Xiao Xue didn't say anything about this, tacitly allowing her behavior.
As a tool, Medusa was quite useful on many levels.
When Xiao Xue brought Medusa back to the Xiao Family, she didn't let her enter the house, instead telling Medusa to find a place outside to wait.
For no other reason than Medusa's fierce reputation being far too great, even overshadowing the beauty of her [Charisma 9].
In the Northwest Continent, the name Medusa was enough to stop a child's nighttime crying.
Although the Xiao Family had now vaguely become the number one Family in the Jia Ma Empire,
Aside from Xiao Xue, the strongest among them was only a Dou Ling.
If Medusa were to appear, the Xiao Family Members would feel somewhat uneasy, even if they weren't afraid.
This time she was returning home to visit Family, so there was naturally no need for Medusa to get involved.
Hearing Xiao Xue tell her to wait outside, Medusa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then flickered out of Xiao Xue's sight.
If Xiao Xue had actually made her go inside, she might have felt uncomfortable instead.
—She felt a strange sense of guilt.
Xiao Xue returned to the Xiao Residence and stayed with the Xiao Family for a few days.
During these few days, she also visited the Mittel Family to find Hai Bodong and refined a spirit revival purple pill for him.
More than a year had passed, and after destroying the Izumo Empire, the Alliance had naturally harvested a lot of medicinal ingredients.
Seeing that Hai Bodong had gathered the ingredients for the spirit revival purple pill, Xiao Xue refined it for him in passing.
Refining a fifth-grade pill was absolutely nothing to the current Xiao Xue; there was no possibility of failure.
The spirit revival purple pill could indeed restore strength that had fallen due to a Seal, but the extent of the recovery depended entirely on its quality.
This time, Xiao Xue refined it with pill pattern, and furthermore, she used the Bone Chilling Flame to refine it.
This spirit revival purple pill would have absolutely no problem restoring Hai Bodong to a five-star Dou Huang.
Then, Xiao Xue also gave him an ice spirit cold marrow in passing.
If the ice spirit cold marrow were to erupt fully, it would be enough to freeze a Dou Zong to death.
Even if it was just splashed on someone, a part of their body, and even their Soul, could be frozen.
If one could slowly refine the energy of the ice spirit cold marrow, even just a part of it, Hai Bodong could easily reach the high-tier Dou Huang level.
If the Mittel Family could get their hands on the ingredients for a Break-Sect Pill;
Then, refining two Break-Sect Pills for Hai Bodong to help him Breakthrough to Dou Zong wouldn't be out of the question.
Hai Bodong was already very happy just obtaining the spirit revival purple pill to restore his strength.
Xiao Xue giving him an ice spirit cold marrow for free made Hai Bodong ecstatic; he was practically ready to force Miteer Tengshan to change his Family name.
Xiao Xue had Hai Bodong refine the spirit revival purple pill and the ice spirit cold marrow, telling him that in a few years, she might need him to set out for the Black-Corner Region with her.
Hai Bodong had naturally heard of what kind of place the Black-Corner Region was.
The level of chaos there was even greater than that of the Izumo Empire.
Nevertheless, Hai Bodong still agreed without hesitation.
After refining the spirit revival purple pill and the ice spirit cold marrow, he would be at least a high-tier Dou Huang.
Given a few more years, Peak Dou Huang was not impossible.
While there were Dou Zongs in the Black-Corner Region, a Dou Huang was still considered high-end combat power.
When Hai Bodong was a five-star Dou Huang, he had dared to snatch things from the Peak Dou Huang Medusa.
Now, following Xiao Xue, an Alliance leader with a powerful background, to the Black-Corner Region in a few years, he naturally had nothing to fear.
A professional player who only played top-tier matches was simply different from ordinary players.
On the other side, the Jiama Royal Family also found Xiao Xue, hoping she could refine a sixth-rank healing Medicinal Pill for the Deep Sea Scaled Dragon Beast.
Xiao Xue naturally didn't refuse this either, spending a day to refine the pill and handing it over to the Jiama Royal Family.
Since Hai Bodong and the Jiama Royal Family had both prepared three sets of ingredients, Xiao Xue kept the extras for herself.
Then, after socializing for a few days in her capacity as Alliance leader and meeting representatives from various forces, Xiao Xue left the Jia Ma Empire once again and headed for Jia Nan Academy.
Medusa appeared beside her at the right time, and they left the Jia Ma Empire together on a flying Demonic Beast.
———
Half a month later.
Jia Nan Academy, Inner Academy.
Although the Inner Academy selection competition had long since ended and the following year's selection was still far off,
Xiao Xue was now a seven-star Dou Wang and a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.
—Though her Soul Power had reached Mortal Realm Great Perfection, the Peak of the seventh-rank, she had not yet successfully refined a seventh-grade pill.
So, strictly speaking, Xiao Xue could only be considered a "pseudo-seventh-rank" for now and needed some time to practice.
But based on these two points alone, wanting to join the Inner Academy was more than enough.
In fact, she could directly become a mentor or an Elder after entering.
After all, the Old Man Huo of the Jia Nan Academy's Alchemist Department was only a fifth-rank.
Thus, after meeting the Outer Academy principal, Xiao Xue was arranged to enter the Inner Academy directly without much effort.
Inside the Inner Academy, at Xiao Yi Xian's Clinic.
The Clinic wasn't large, but once the doors opened, the front would inevitably be crowded with people queuing.
There was an ironclad rule here.
No matter how noble your status or how powerful your influence in the Inner Academy, you could only take a number and wait in line here.
However, because there was a purple-haired twin-tailed loli holding the fort, no one had ever dared to violate such a somewhat arrogant rule.
What's more, the owner of this Clinic was also a Dou Wang expert.
Moreover, if you made the owner unhappy, you would have to find your own way and pay a heavy price to remove that Fire Poison.
Therefore, none of the students in the Inner Academy dared to cause trouble here.
However, today, a young girl walked leisurely past the long queue.
When the previous student finished their treatment and left, she actually ignored the Clinic's rules and walked straight in.
Inside the Clinic, Zi Yan tossed a piece of specially made "biscuit" into her mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound that made one worry if her teeth would break.
Seeing Xiao Xue enter, Zi Yan immediately shouted in a boisterous manner, "Who's that? The one in white? Go line up!"
Xiao Xue was currently wearing a long robe and a veil to avoid any unnecessary trouble caused by her appearance.
With so many students in the Inner Academy, it was naturally impossible for everyone to know each other.
Only a few "celebrities" might have their names remembered by everyone.
For example, a certain medicinal product who entered half a year ago, along with Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and others, as well as some famous guys on the strong ranking list.
In particular, many students would avoid Zi Yan.
So the people she knew were naturally even fewer.
Xiao Xue didn't look very old either, so Zi Yan subconsciously took Xiao Xue for some student she hadn't seen before.
It had been a long time since anyone dared to cut the line, so seeing Xiao Xue, Zi Yan also became somewhat interested.
Is this a newcomer who just entered the Inner Academy? Truly a newborn calf that doesn't fear the tiger.
The other students waiting outside were whispering among themselves while waiting to see a good show.
They all knew that the loli senior inside was not an easy person to talk to.
Although, after being injured by her, Xiao Yi Xian would also help treat them.
However, ordinary people would not joke with their own lives.
If the Queen of Brute Force throws a punch, you're lucky if you aren't bedridden for two months.
"That must be a newcomer, right? Why are there still newcomers entering the Inner Academy now?"
"I don't know, maybe someone who took a leave of absence before?"
"There's a good show to watch. I wonder how Senior... Man... is going to teach her a lesson this time."
...Inside the Clinic, Xiao Xue looked at Zi Yan, who was waving her small fist at her, and felt a bit surprised.
She hadn't expected that Xiao Yi Xian had actually abducted this girl here.
"You're new, right? I advise you to go line up, or else..."
Before Zi Yan could finish her sentence, she saw Xiao Xue shout toward the inner room, "Xian'er, our relationship is so good, there's no need to line up, right?"
Hearing this sentence, not only the students waiting outside but even Zi Yan was momentarily stunned.
Then, in the next moment, a somewhat pleasantly surprised voice drifted out from the Clinic, causing the queuing crowd to freeze in place—
"Teacher?!"
