Chapter 56 - Yue Mei

The snake people woman flew to the top of the city wall and then hovered there, staring at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan with a solemn look, and said in a hostile tone: "What are you two human Dou Wang strongmen doing in the depths of the Tager Desert? We, the snake people tribe, do not welcome humans to come."

In Yue Mei's perception, the cultivation level of the young man with blue hair and white robe was slightly weaker than hers, so he was not a concern. However, the little girl behind the young man had a much higher cultivation level than hers, and the pressure she felt was like facing a peak Dou Wang of the Snake Tribe. Moreover, when she looked at the little girl, she always felt a sense of fear in her heart, which made her feel very uncertain. If these two people came with bad intentions, the Mei Snake Tribe might be in big trouble today.

Seeing Yue Mei on the other side looking alert, Xiao Ling waved his hand, took out the elder token of Canaan Academy from his ring, and said calmly: "I am an elder from the Alchemy Department of Canaan Academy. Behind me is my companion Zi Yan, who is a transformed magic beast. We have no hostility towards the snake people. Commander Yue Mei must have misunderstood. I came here directly this time to do business with you snake people. Believe me, this will only benefit you and not harm you."

After hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, she recalled that before she arrived here, the two men had not attacked the snake people, and the two Dou Wang masters were not from the surrounding empires. The little girl was also a transformed monster. The faint sense of oppression showed that her blood must be extraordinary, so she had no hatred with the snake people. I heard before that Canaan Academy had a Dou Zong master in charge, so we must not offend them.

Although the Snake People are sworn enemies of humans, if they really hold a grudge against all humans on the Dou Qi Continent, how can they survive? You must know that although there are thousands of races on the Dou Qi Continent, humans are still the dominant race. If some strong human being can't stand the Snake People harming humans and is dissatisfied with the Snake People, and directly takes action to destroy the Snake People, it would be a huge disaster.

Then the vigilant expression on her face dissipated a little, revealing a charming smile, and she said softly: "It turns out that you two are elders from Canaan Academy. You were so alert just now, and it was our Snake People who were impolite. Since you want to make a deal with our Snake People, then we can have a good talk. Follow me into the city and we will talk in detail." After she finished speaking, she twisted her graceful waist, flicked her snake tail, and flew towards a building in the city.

Seeing Yue Mei flew towards the city first, Xiao Ling had no intention of wasting time here, so he took Zi Yan and chased in the direction of Yue Mei. With a slight flap of his Dou Qi Wings, the two of them quickly landed in front of an attic.

The snake people in the city, who had been somewhat worried just now, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was not the neighboring countries that came to attack. When these powerful men fought, the ones who would suffer would definitely be the civilians who had no ability to protect themselves.

Yue Mei, who arrived two minutes earlier, saw that Xiao Ling and Zi Yan had already caught up. She smiled politely at them and said to the snake people around her, "I will discuss something with the two distinguished guests here. You all stand guard outside. No one is allowed to come in without my permission. Those who disobey my order will be severely punished!"

The surrounding snake people nodded in agreement, walked outside the attic and surrounded it tightly. It was unknown whether they were trying to prevent the discussion from being leaked, or to gather people so that they could provide timely reinforcements in case of a conflict between the two sides.

Xiao Ling didn't care about this situation at all. These Da Dou Shi and Dou ling could not pose any threat to him and Zi Yan.

After Yue Mei finished making arrangements with those snake people, she smiled and said to Xiao Ling: "Please follow me, we'll talk inside." She pointed to a private room and walked in first.

Xiao Ling also held Zi Yan's hand and followed her into the box.

After seeing that both parties were seated, Yue Mei, the host of this place, spoke first: "You two came to the Snake Tribe this time. What kind of deal do you want to make with us? Why don't you tell us now?"

Xiao Ling did not keep the secret and said directly: "We came here this time to exchange a Sand Datura with the Snake People. I am short of this medicinal material for refining the pill. I wonder if you can help me."  

Zi Yan, who was sitting next to her, also said, "Sister Yue Mei, Xiao Ling is a sixth-rank alchemist. What he brings out will surely satisfy you, the Snake People."

Yue Mei, who was standing opposite, was somewhat surprised after hearing what the two said. Sand Datura has always been used to allow those gifted members of the Snake Tribe to fuse with snake beasts that are suitable for them. She does not have this kind of medicinal material at present. Only in the hands of Queen Medusa in the Holy City of the Snake Tribe, there are some stocks of Sand Datura. After hearing Zi Yan say that Xiao Ling was actually a sixth-grade alchemist, she looked at him carefully again, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She did not observe carefully just now, but now that she was close to him, she found that although this person was not short in height, his face was very young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He could break through to Dou Wang at this age, and he was also a sixth-grade alchemist. After so many years, such a genius, let alone seeing it, she had never even heard of it. Fortunately, he was not cultivated by the surrounding empires, otherwise the Snake Tribe would have another gifted enemy.

Yue Mei stared at Xiao Ling's face with complicated eyes for a while, then smiled and said softly: "I didn't expect that there was a sixth-grade alchemist in front of me. I was a little impolite just now. I hope Master Xiao Ling can forgive me. I didn't expect that Master Xiao Ling has reached the Dou Wang level at such a young age, and his attainments as an alchemist are also quite extraordinary."

After a slight pause, he spoke again: "But I am really sorry. Among the snake people, Sand Datura is also a very rare medicinal material. It is strictly controlled by the top leaders and is stored in the hands of Queen Medusa in the Holy City. The Mei Snake Tribe currently has no stock. I am afraid that Master Xiao Ling will return disappointed."

After listening to Yue Mei's explanation, Xiao Ling did not have much emotional fluctuation. After all, he had already anticipated such a situation, so he said, "Then please ask Commander Yue Mei to help us meet Queen Medusa and take us to the Snake Tribe's Holy City to make a deal. After the deal is done, I can give you the corresponding reward."

After thinking for a while, Yue Mei replied softly in an awkward tone, "Then I wonder what kind of reward Master Xiao Ling can use to impress me. The Queen and the elders don't like humans very much. If I bring two strange Dou Wang strongmen to the Holy City, it might anger the Queen and the elders, and I will have to suffer some punishment."

Knowing that this was an attempt to get some benefits, Xiao Ling thought for a moment and said, "As long as you can prepare three Dou Ling Pills of medicinal materials, I can refine a Dou Ling Pill for you. With the help of this Dou Ling Pill, it won't be long before Commander Yue Mei can enter the Dou Huang realm."

Yue Mei was obviously a little tempted. Now her cultivation has reached the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Wang. After breaking through to the Eight-Star Dou Wang, she will take another Dou Ling Pill and reach the Nine-Star Dou Wang. It is not far from breaking through to the Dou Huang. Thinking of this, Yue Mei replied delicately: "This suggestion is indeed good. Then I will take Master Xiao Ling and this little sister to the Holy City. After Master Xiao Ling gets what he wants, he must keep his promise~"

Seeing that Yue Mei agreed to the proposal, Xiao Ling nodded. Anyway, he would not waste much time to refine a Dou Ling Pill for Yue Mei, and he could also earn medicinal materials for two Dou Ling Pill. He was worthy of being the T0 professional alchemist in the Dou Qi Continent. His status was really different.

Holding Zi Yan's hand, Xiao Ling stood up and said to Yue Mei opposite him, "Let's go without further delay. Don't worry, I still have my reputation as an alchemist. As long as you exchange for the Sand Datura and prepare the herbs, I will help you refine it."

Seeing that Xiao Ling and the other man had stood up, Yue Mei also stood up and said, "Since Master Xiao Ling is so anxious, let's set off now." After she finished speaking, she led the two of them out of the attic.

After saying hello to the guards outside the attic, Yue Mei spread her Dou Qi Wings and flew towards the holy city of the snake people with Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.
