"Daring human, dare to trespass into the Snake People Tribe!"
The one who came was Yue Mei, one of the eight leaders of the Snake People Tribe. She looked vigilantly at the young man in the sky, and the reason she didn't immediately launch an attack was because the young man had three Snake People Tribe women with him.
"Hmph! Don't think you can act recklessly just because you have hostages from our Snake People Tribe. Huh?!"
Yue Mei's expression turned cold as she was about to issue a warning, but she didn't expect the other party to directly send those three Snake Women over.
"Lord Yue Mei, we are members of the Flower Snake Tribe, kidnapped and sold by human mercenaries many years ago. It was our rescuer who saved us."
From the mouths of the three Snake Women, Yue Mei learned the gist of the situation. Looking into Yun Tianming's eyes, she slightly reduced some of her hostility.
"I am Yun Tianming of the Misty Cloud Sect, and I harbor no ill intentions towards the Snake People Tribe."
"I have come this time only to discuss important matters with Queen Medusa."
Yun Tianming first announced his identity and purpose. At the same time, he appraised the charming Snake People woman before him. With a sweep of Soul Perception, he realized she was a 6 Star Dou King!
"The Misty Cloud Sect of the Jia Ma Empire?"
The reputation of the Misty Cloud Sect still held weight in this area, so Yue Mei did not dare to underestimate them. Moreover, since the other party had immediately sent hostages and conveyed goodwill, she couldn't act rashly.
"Oh, handsome young man, are you sure you want to meet our Queen?"
Yue Mei narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing the young man before her. However, from his aura, it seemed that he hadn't reached the level of a Dou King powerhouse. But why could he use Dou Qi Wings? She decided to probe first.
"Is there something you can't tell your big sister?"
"Big sister is one of the eight leaders of the Snake People Tribe, Yue Mei~"
Yue Mei's voice, with a charming tone, seemed very approachable at first glance, but Yun Tianming sensed the powerful Dou Qi surging within her, as if she could strike at any moment!
"So you're Leader Yue Mei, I've heard of your great name."
"However, forgive my frankness, with your strength as a 6 Star Dou King, you still don't meet my requirements."
Yun Tianming remained calm, appearing confident, which in turn made Yue Mei hesitate to act recklessly.
"..."
Having had her strength seen through at a glance, Yue Mei's expression changed slightly. She attempted to release her perception, but was blocked by Yun Tianming's Soul Power, completely unable to determine the latter's specific strength.
'He can actually see through my strength. Could it be that he's a Dou Emperor powerhouse?'
But, isn't he too young for that?
Yue Mei frowned, her gaze filled with suspicion as she tried to discern any flaws from him.
With a flick of his finger, he took out a delicate wooden box from her Spatial Ring. Upon opening it, a strong fragrance of medicinal herbs filled the air, revealing a Pill emitting a faint green light inside.
"Is this a Fifth Grade Pill?!"
Yue Mei, being knowledgeable, immediately lit up with excitement.
"Fifth Grade Pill: Dou Spirit Pill. After consumption, it can give a Dou King powerhouse a certain probability of advancing from one star to two stars."
Yun Tianming slowly explained the effects of the Pill. This Pill was found in Fei Lei's Spatial Ring, and it was crafted by the fifth-grade Alchemist Luo Mani. However, due to some errors during the refining process, the Pill ended up being a failed product, merely a semi-finished waste pill. Utilizing the enhancement Ability of the system, Yun Tianming turned the waste pill into a qualified Dou Spirit Pill.
However, despite being a qualified Dou Spirit Pill, its quality was average. It could only provide a roughly 50% chance for a Dou King to barely advance by 1 star, and it came with strong drug resistance. A Dou King could only consume one. "It's actually a Dou Spirit Pill!"
Yue Mei's red lips parted, her agile and slender tongue instinctively licking them. As long as she consumed this Pill, she could advance from a 6 Star Dou King to a 7 Star or even an 8 Star Dou King. This would save her years of struggle!
"Consider it a gift from me to Leader Yue Mei, a token for introducing me to Queen Medusa."
Yun Tianming, with a hearty expression, handed over the Dou Spirit Pill to the other party. Since he definitely wouldn't keep this low-quality Dou Spirit Pill for himself, it was perfect to give away to someone else to deceive.
"How... how could this be!"
Yue Mei received the Pill with both hands, looking pleasantly surprised.
Due to the Snake People Tribe's Constitution, it was almost impossible for them to produce Alchemists, making Pills extremely precious among the tribe. This Dou Spirit Pill alone was enough to make all the leaders of the eight tribes jealous!
As the saying goes, soft-heartedness brings about trouble. Yue Mei unexpectedly received a Fifth Grade Pill for no reason, so her attitude towards Yun Tianming suddenly became more enthusiastic.
"Master Yun, on behalf of the Snake People Tribe, I welcome you as our friend!"
"Please follow me, I will personally take you to meet Her Majesty, the Queen."
Yue Mei smiled charmingly, swaying her slender waist like a water snake, emitting a seductive fragrance all over her body. Unlike their first meeting where there was hidden agenda, this time Yue Mei was genuinely friendly.
"Thank you."
Yun Tianming nodded with a smile. With the Pill leading the way, it was just right to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Flying from the sky towards the depths of the Snake People Tribe, they attracted the attention of many members of the tribe.
"Huh? Lord Yue Mei, why is there a human boy with you?"
"Hiss! Dou Qi Wings, and he's actually a Dou King powerhouse?"
Although the Snake People Tribe felt surprised, they didn't panic too much. After all, this was the territory of the Snake People Tribe. Even if a human Dou King powerhouse came, they would need to think twice.
As they approached the temple where Queen Medusa resided, a Snake People Tribe Dou King, also with Dou Qi Wings, flew out.
"Yue Mei, why did you bring a human here?"
The newcomer was Hua She'er, Queen Medusa's personal guard. She stared at Yun Tianming with vigilance, unable to discern his strength at a glance.
Yun Tianming could clearly see the opponent's specific strength: a 7 Star Dou King! The Snake People Tribe indeed had quite a few experts.
"Hua She'er, this is Yun Tianming, a distinguished guest from the Misty Cloud Sect. He has important matters to discuss with Her Majesty the Queen, please inform her."
While speaking, Yue Mei leaned closer to Hua She'er's ear and briefly explained Yun Tianming's act of returning the Snake Women.
Upon hearing that their missing tribe members had returned, Hua She'er's face lit up with joy, and her gaze towards Yun Tianming became friendlier.
"Thank you for returning our Flower Snake Tribe members."
"It's nothing, just a small gesture."
Yun Tianming hadn't expected that a few inconspicuous Snake Women would have such an effect. Was this what they called good deeds being repaid?
Hua She'er clasped her hands in gratitude, then turned and flew back to the temple.
