Chapter 122 The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's Blood
The next morning.
At daybreak, the prosperous imperial capital became lively again. Crowds of people surged on the streets, moving towards the Royal Square in the south of the city, all to catch a glimpse of the final of the Alchemist Conference.
In the room, Xiao Se lazily leaned against the window, looking at the dark crowd below, and couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people. Do you think it's Sasha?"
As he spoke, Xiao Se turned his head and looked inside the house. On the soft sofa next to the room, Queen Medusa was leaning quietly with her eyes closed.
Unlike the last time she appeared, this time the queen's legs had grown out. This was the first time Xiao Se saw the beautiful Queen Sha's legs. Like her upper body, they were well-proportioned and slender, with skin as white as cream. It seemed as if all the beautiful words in the world could be used to describe them. The proportions were perfect.
"I've told you so many times to call me Queen." Medusa opened her mouth and said casually. Obviously, she was no longer so averse to this title.
Medusa changed the subject and said calmly, "Human, are you sure you can beat Horton from the Izumo Empire?"
In Medusa's cognition, Xiao Se's soul power still remained at the level of a fourth-grade peak alchemist, and the failure rate for refining fifth-grade pills was still very high.
And because Xiao Se practiced the Guiyuan Soul Art, he was able to hide his soul state at all times, so Medusa did not know that he had now entered the fifth level.
Xiao Se smiled calmly and said, "As long as he doesn't refine a sixth-grade elixir, I can win."
"That's good. Don't forget my recipe for the Rongling Pill for later use." Medusa opened her eyes slightly and looked at the confidence on Xiao Se's face. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said casually.
"Of course, Queen, can we discuss something?" Seeing that Medusa seemed to be in a good mood, Xiao Se asked about the secret method of practicing 'Fire God's Wrath'.
"What's the matter?" Medusa frowned slightly when she heard this. Every time Xiao Se wanted to discuss something with her, it was always something bad.
"Well, you've been sleeping for a few days. The day before yesterday, I accidentally got a secret method to enhance my strength. It requires strange fire and the pure blood of ancient strange beasts to use it, so..." Xiao Se laughed dryly.
"Okay." To Xiao Se's surprise, Queen Medusa agreed.
Under Xiao Se's gaze, red light rhythmically danced on Queen Medusa's body, and wisps of red blood mist slowly drifted out of Medusa's body, and finally condensed into a drop of red hot liquid in front of her.
The moment the red liquid appeared, the whole room was filled with red energy ripples. Fortunately, the Hanhai protective shield blocked the aura, otherwise it would have caused a sensation.
"Queen, you..." After looking at the blood essence that contained terrifying energy, and then at Medusa, who looked a little paler than before, Xiao Se hurriedly walked to her side, took out a blood-colored round pill, and handed it to Queen Medusa's mouth, "This is a blood-replenishing pill, which can replenish your qi and blood. Take it quickly."
Looking at Xiao Se's anxious expression, Queen Medusa felt a warm feeling flowing through her heart. She subconsciously opened her mouth, and took the pill as Xiao Se fed her. Her slightly pale face immediately regained a hint of redness.
Handing the floating hot blood essence to Xiao Se, Queen Medusa smiled quietly and said calmly: "Last time you stopped Gu He and his group from going to the Tagor Desert for me, I said I owe you a favor. This drop of blood essence is my repayment to you."
After saying this, Queen Medusa transformed into the form of a seven-colored sky-swallowing python again.
"Thank you." Xiao Se murmured softly as he held up the petite and cute Sky-Swallowing Python. Then he took out the jade bottle and put his essence and blood into it.

After a while, Xiao Se followed Hai Bodong to the Royal Square.
Due to the large number of people, the road was almost blocked, and they had no choice but to take the back door.
When Xiao Se entered the square, he found that Liu Ling and other contestants were almost all there. At this moment, they were talking in groups of three or five. Horton had entered the arena early, and even the alchemy equipment was fully laid out.
"It seems like this guy was given a good beating by Jia Xingtian and the others last night." Smiling in his heart, Xiao Se walked calmly to his own alchemy seat.
When Xiao Se entered the center of the square, the laughter and chattering around him suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Xiao Se with awe. Obviously, Xiao Se's slapping of Izumo Alchemist yesterday and the strong strength he showed made almost all the contestants feel a little awe, including Liu Ling. He just didn't want to admit it in his heart.
On the VIP platform, Fama cleared his throat and laughed loudly, "Everyone, today is the last game, which is the championship finals. In this final round of assessment, the guild will not give you any support. Everyone should play to their strengths and refine the highest-grade and most effective elixir, and then they will be the champions of this Alchemist Conference."
Hearing Fama's laughter, the contestants in the field all showed bitter expressions. Because they didn't know the content of the test, they didn't prepare enough medicinal materials and appropriate prescriptions.
With no other options, everyone had to take out their own medicine cauldrons and herbs and start refining them.
Of course, there are some who are well prepared, such as Xiao Se, Holden, and Liu Ling.
On the VIP platform, looking coldly at the young figure of Holden below, Jia Xingtian glanced at Fama beside him and said in a deep voice: "How is it, Fama, is everything arranged?"
"I can only say that I tried my best," Fama sighed.
Fama was not worried about whether Xiao Se could successfully refine the Three-Pattern Pure Spirit Pill. He was worried that Holden would prepare the medicinal materials for the fifth-grade prescription and decide to take the risk to refine it.
Looking at the herbs that Xiao Se took out below, Fama suddenly exclaimed: "Wait...something is not right."
"What's wrong?" Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian frowned.
"What he took out was not the medicinal material for refining the Three-Pattern Qingling Pill." Mafa said in a deep voice.
"Hahaha, this little guy has prepared the prescription and herbs from the beginning. Old man Fama, I guess you gave the herbs and prescription to this little guy without asking anything clearly. Hahaha, it seems that you, an old man, have been fooled by this guy." Hearing Fama's words, Hai Bodong immediately laughed.
While they were talking, Xiao Se had already taken out the medicinal herbs and medicine cauldron in the most conspicuous corner of the square.
Just as Xiao Se was about to light a fire, a cry of surprise came from the audience. Xiao Se subconsciously raised his head and turned to look. It turned out that Liu Ling had summoned a light brown flame. The other alchemists also summoned their own flames one after another. For a moment, the entire square was filled with hundreds of colorful flames.
"Xiao Huohuo, today I want you to be defeated miserably in front of Yanran." A light brown flame rose in Liu Ling's hand, and she tilted her head and sneered at Xiao Se.
