Queen Medusa, having reverted to her Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python form, once again displayed that adorable, dazed expression.
Reaching out, Mo Yu gently stroked its body. Remembering Snake Uncle's promise, he could only smile wryly and take out a bottle of purple crystal source from his storage ring.
Opening the bottle cap, a hot Aura with a faint fragrance slowly wafted out.
As soon as the purple crystal source was taken from the storage ring, the Devouring Sky Python, which had been softly nestled in Mo Yu's arms, suddenly stood upright.
Turning its head, it smelled Mo Yu's familiar and kind Aura, then glanced at the purple crystal source from which a faint purple mist was rising. A hint of longing flashed in its snake eyes.
With Snake Uncle as the intermediary, although he and Queen Medusa had become partners, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had not received this information, so it was still somewhat wary of Mo Yu.
After hesitating for a long while, unable to resist the craving in its heart, the Devouring Sky Python flicked its tail and swiftly swam to Mo Yu's front, its snake tongue flicking in and out, emitting a hissing sound.
With a light chuckle, Mo Yu lowered the bottle. The Devouring Sky Python flicked its tail, its body transforming into a streak of light, appearing like lightning in front of the bottle. It extended its head, its snake tongue reaching directly into the bottle, greedily absorbing the contents.
Given Snake Uncle's earlier words, and Mo Yu not being a stingy person, he did not stop its greedy absorption. However, looking at the accompanying purple crystal source slowly decreasing in the bottle, Mo Yu suddenly felt a bit sorry for Purple Fire.
These accompanying purple crystal sources were originally prepared for Purple Fire's Breakthrough to the fifth rank. However, after continuous consumption, there might not be enough to support Purple Fire's Breakthrough anymore.
Shaking his head, Mo Yu no longer thought about these things. If Purple Fire wanted to Break through, he would have to find another Opportunity.
When nearly a tenth of the purple crystal source in the bottle had been swallowed by the Devouring Sky Python, it finally stopped absorbing. Its head, slightly dazed, pulled away from the bottle opening. A hint of intoxication actually flashed in its pale purple snake eyes.
Looking at the Devouring Sky Python swaying its head and staggering, Mo Yu smiled and shook his head, put away the purple crystal source, and then took out a fire pearl, feeding it into the Devouring Sky Python's mouth, saying, "Eat it."
With its previous behavior, the Devouring Sky Python did not refuse Mo Yu's good intentions this time. Its snake tongue slightly extended, directly coiling the fire pearl into its mouth.
As the fire pearl entered its stomach, a vast energy instantly spread throughout the Devouring Sky Python's body, and an astonishing heat was released around it.
Mo Yu gently stroked its slightly warm body and chuckled, "Little fellow, I've done everything Snake Uncle asked. Don't forget."
Although it didn't understand what Mo Yu was saying, a sense of closeness arose in the Devouring Sky Python's eyes as it looked at the young man.
Flicking its slender neck, a purple glow suddenly surged in its snake eyes. It opened its snake mouth, and with a dull thud, a purplish-red flame violently spewed out, and the surging flames instantly burned the wooden beams on the roof into a pile of charred wood.
Seeing this scene, Mo Yu chuckled and shook his head.
Although he had spent many treasures to cultivate his relationship with the Devouring Sky Python, overall, Mo Yu did not suffer a loss.
One must know that this was a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, an ancient Bloodline even nobler than Snake Uncle's. Once Queen Medusa completely mastered her body, she would be a Dou Zong-level expert.
With such a powerful bodyguard by his side, Mo Yu felt much more at ease.
After appeasing the Devouring Sky Python, Mo Yu turned to Snake Uncle and smiled, "Alright, I've completed everything you asked. What do you think?"
Seeing Mo Yu's self-congratulatory smile, Snake Uncle's cold eyes flashed with satisfaction, then he chuckled, "What, does it hurt already?"
"Heh heh, not at all, I just didn't expect you, Snake Uncle, to care so much for your clansmen," Mo Yu shook his head and said.
Hearing this, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Snake Uncle's eyes, and he said softly, "Although I was once dissatisfied with the rules of the clan, after so many years, dust returns to dust, earth to earth. I've grown to see the throne of the Snake-People as unimportant.
Now that a Medusa with the Bloodline of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python has finally appeared in our declining clan, I naturally value her greatly."
"Mm." Mo Yu nodded faintly, fully understanding what Snake Uncle said.
This was like homesickness in his first life; no matter how far or how long he was away from home, there would always be a soft spot deep in his heart that belonged to that place.
"Heh heh, don't be dissatisfied, kid. Being able to carry a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python with you means that even without my intervention, it can help you solve some troubles in the future," Snake Uncle looked at Mo Yu and chuckled softly.
"Moreover, this little Medusa is still a virgin. If you can take her, I will support you, kid." Saying this, a meaningful look flashed in Snake Uncle's eyes, and he said softly.
"Uh…" A hint of awkwardness flashed across Mo Yu's face. He hadn't expected the usually unfathomable Snake Uncle to say such a thing.
However, in this regard, the Snake-People were inherently more open than the Human Race, and they didn't have as many complicated rules as humans. Moreover, Mo Yu's talent was evident to all, so Snake Uncle's words were not that surprising.
Deep in his heart, the idea of conquering a beautiful snake slowly arose in Mo Yu's mind.
However, he immediately shook his head. Such things could not be forced. Although Xiao Yan's accidental success was wonderful, it had to be said that such dramatic events were not something everyone could enjoy.
"We'll see," Mo Yu said noncommittally.
"Heh heh~"
As if seeing Mo Yu's heart waver, Snake Uncle's slender snake tongue gently flicked out. He gazed deeply at the young man, a wicked smile curving his lips, then slowly retreated back into the beast ring...
The next day, the azure sky was cloudless, and the sunlight was warm but not scorching. Occasionally, a gentle breeze swept through, carrying away the city's clamor, leaving people feeling refreshed.
Today was a grand event for the Jia Ma Empire; the Alchemist Convention, held every eight years, would officially begin today!
As soon as the first ray of sunlight broke through the earth's shackles and shone upon this ancient city, figures in Alchemist robes began to appear in twos and threes on the quiet streets.
All the shops in Jia Ma Holy City opened earlier than usual today. Countless people climbed out of their warm beds and stood at their doorways, watching the large groups of Alchemists hurrying along the streets, their eyes filled with fervor and reverence.
These few days of the Alchemist Convention would be the busiest and most vibrant period of the year in Jia Ma Holy City...
Alchemists, rarely seen on normal days, now appeared in overwhelming numbers, like an army. Such a spectacular scene could only be witnessed once every eight years during the Alchemist Convention...
On this special day, although Mo Yu had not signed up for the Alchemist Convention, he also woke up early.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly adjusting his Qi for about an hour. Only when his state reached its Peak did he slowly open his eyes.
Lazily stretching his body, Mo Yu smiled slightly as he heard the crackling sounds from within his body. Then he got out of bed, walked out of the inner hall, and immediately saw Xiao Yan standing by the window, along with an old man with a head full of white hair.
The old man seemed quite old, but his entire Aura was incredibly powerful. Standing there, he was like a vast army, profound and restrained yet full of oppressive force.
Seeing the old man standing alongside Xiao Yan, and sensing his powerful strength, a figure immediately flashed in Mo Yu's mind.
If nothing unexpected, this person should be Hai Bodong, one of the ten strongest individuals in the Jia Ma Empire, and the super bodyguard Xiao Yan had hired.
