Chapter 173 Transition
In the alchemy hall.

After Lin Yuan thought about it for a while, he put the pill in his hand into the Youhai Ring.

Afterwards, he sat cross-legged and began to practice the Tiandu Fire Classic. Now was the best time to practice as the high-intensity alchemy had consumed a large amount of his fighting spirit.

This kind of day-to-day practice is plain and somewhat boring, and cannot produce immediate results.

However, on the road to the top, this boring persistence is an indispensable part.

Several hours passed quietly.

It was not until Queen Medusa arrived that Lin Yuan ended his training.

"The ceremony is about to begin, follow me." Queen Medusa said calmly.

At this moment, she was wearing gorgeous sacrificial clothes and a dazzling crown on her head, and her steps showed the demeanor of a king.

The style of the ceremonial garment is quite ancient, with a deep purple base and embroidered with intricate and mysterious patterns. Snake totems and ancient runes are intertwined, as if telling the long history and glorious past of the Medusa clan.

The crown on her head is simple yet luxurious, and the tassels sway gently, contrasting with Queen Medusa's cold face, adding a bit of inviolable majesty and sacredness.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan quickly retracted his hand seals, ended his practice, stood up, and stood in front of Queen Medusa.

When his eyes fell on her, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. This was the first time he saw Queen Medusa dressed so gorgeously.

Queen Medusa led Lin Yuan through layers of space barriers and finally came to a magnificent stone altar.

Around the altar, people were surging and cheers were heard one after another.

The arrival of Queen Medusa was like a bright star piercing through the night sky, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire audience. The shouts of "Long live" surged like waves, resounding through the sky.

She took a deep breath, her eyes became serious, and with firm steps, she stepped onto the red carpet that extended from the top of the altar. Step by step, she walked calmly towards the top of the altar.

As she walked, the noise around her gradually died down, and a solemn and sacred atmosphere filled the air.

Lin Yuan followed Queen Medusa as if they had a tacit understanding, and walked up the red carpet step by step. Every step seemed to be stepping on the dust of history, feeling the unique rhythm and rhythm of this ancient ethnic group.

Finally, on a stone platform dozens of steps away from the top of the altar, Lin Yuan saw the first elder and the fourth elder standing on both sides.

Seeing Lin Yuan and Queen Medusa stepping onto the steps, the two elders came forward.

The Great Elder draped a luxurious cloak with colorful patterns on Medusa, while the Fourth Elder handed over a scepter inlaid with a sixth-order magic core.

"Your Majesty, the rest is up to you. May your wisdom and strength guide us forward."

Queen Medusa nodded, took a step forward, and continued to climb the stairs in front of her, while Lin Yuan stayed on the stone steps where the elders were, standing side by side with the four elders.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Queen Medusa climbed dozens of steps and finally reached the top of the altar, thus opening the ceremony.

The extremely complicated ceremony of worshiping the heavens and ancestors was carried out with the impeccable etiquette of Queen Medusa.

As the ceremony gradually drew to a close, she took a deep breath and glanced at the tribesmen who were waiting eagerly below, with an unprecedented light flashing in her eyes.

"My people," Queen Medusa said solemnly and firmly, "I declare that the long-cherished wish of the Serpent People has come true. From today on, our people will officially move away from this desert that has accompanied us for so many years and head to our new territory - the Mulan Empire, the Cuihuan Mountains."

“Everyone, go to new lands to open up, explore, and build a more glorious homeland, so that the glory of our ancestors can shine everywhere.”

As soon as the words fell, thunderous cheers and applause broke out around the altar. The long-cherished wish of dozens of generations had come true. The snake people finally obtained a land suitable for their survival and reproduction. Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement and hope.

Lin Yuan looked at Medusa, who was surrounded by an inexplicable atmosphere of emotion, and smiled gently, thinking to himself: "It's time to give her the gift I have prepared for a long time."
-
As night fell, the queen's bedroom was quiet.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Lin Yuan asked softly, looking at the woman in front of him who seemed relieved.

Queen Medusa nodded slightly, and after a moment's silence, she said, "The ceremony is over. As the queen of the snake people, I must lead the way and explore the land. Also, the two elders stationed there have sent a message saying that there are difficult enemies over there that I need to deal with."

"I see. What about this side of the desert?"

"All matters here have been entrusted to the First Elder and the Fourth Elder. They have profound cultivation and are capable of managing the overall situation."

"How has the division of territory progressed in the past two days?"

"It has been successfully concluded. The method you improved is quite interesting. Each tribe will have three duels among the youth group, the middle-aged group, and the strongest group to decide the division of territory. I will keep a portion of it as a reward for your subsequent development contributions. However, I will let you..."

"Don't worry about playing the villain," Lin Yuan smiled slyly, and said meaningfully, "Queen, just give me some simple 'rewards' later."

"Reward?" Medusa couldn't help but think of several charming scenes when hearing the word. A hint of anger suddenly appeared on her cheeks. Her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness. "Little man, don't go too far with some things."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan laughed dryly and quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, Queen, I just have a gift for you, I hope you can accept it..."

Seeing Lin Yuan's sensible look, the slight anger on Medusa's face disappeared, and turned into a playful smile, "Oh? Tell me, little man, what gift do you want to give me?"

"I want to give you a name, Queen." Lin Yuan smiled gently and said softly, "Xiyue, what do you think, Queen?"

"Name?" Queen Medusa was surprised when she heard that. She subconsciously resisted, "I don't need it. Queen Medusa is my name, my identity, and my responsibility."

However, when she saw the warm smile on Lin Yuan's face, she couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why did you suddenly want to be given a name by this king?"

"It's not a spur of the moment idea, but I've had this idea for a long time." Lin Yuan shook his head and said seriously.

"The name Queen Medusa refers to the queens of the Snake People throughout the generations. This is a name given by the Snake People. However, in addition to being the queen of the Snake People, you are also my wife. You should have a name that belongs to you and me, and to our family."

Queen Medusa's eyes flickered for a moment when she heard this. After a moment of silence, she asked leisurely, "Then why is it Xiyue?"

"Haha," Lin Yuan smiled softly and said gently, "There is no special reason. I just think the name Xiyue sounds nice."

"Really? Xiyue... Xiyue..." Medusa repeated the name in a low voice. After a moment, she smiled proudly, "Hehe, if you want me to accept this name, it's not impossible. Let's still follow the old rules, 'fight', and let the winner decide everything."

"Today is also my last day in this palace. I don't know when I will be back next time. This opportunity is rare, little man..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately understood what was going on. He glanced around the palace that could be called the 'boudoir' of Queen Medusa and chuckled, "Okay, winner takes all. As for the name, let's decide it here based on the result of this battle!"

It was late at night, the candlelight flickered in the bedroom, the two figures overlapped in the light and shadow, and a great battle began. Finally, after a whole night of hard fighting, and the beauty's fighting power was greatly reduced for some reason, Lin Yuan finally succeeded in giving the name "Xiyue" to Queen Medusa.

Early in the morning, the dawn broke.

A ray of colorful rainbow light rose from the Snake Man Holy City, cut through the sky, and shot towards the Mulan Empire.

"Snake people, expedition!"

As the command was sounded in the colorful rainbow light, the mighty migration team of the Snake People, under the protection of many powerful Snake People, set out towards the Mulan Empire.

Lin Yuan looked at Qing Lin and Zi Yan beside him, stroked Xiao Cai in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go meet up with your sister Medusa!"

Qinglin nodded, waved his sleeves and the Winged Snake King appeared, carrying several people and rushing towards the Mulan Empire.
-
Half a month later, in the Mulan Empire, in a valley with extremely abundant energy.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the green lotus throne, eyes slightly closed, immersed in cultivation. As the Tiandu Fire Code was running, the majestic energy of heaven and earth gathered around him, turning into huge energy vortexes, spinning silently around him.

However, this strange sight cannot be perceived by anyone from the outside world due to the solid space barrier that surrounds the valley.

Under Lin Yuan's stimulation, the Green Lotus Seat emitted bursts of green light. The complex and vast energy of heaven and earth was purified by the green light curtain, becoming purer and hotter.

The purified energy slowly penetrated into Lin Yuan's body, interweaving with the deep medicinal power in his body. After being doubly tempered by the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Heart Flame Fire, it turned into streams of pure fighting spirit, which were absorbed by his meridians, flesh, blood, limbs and bones.

As time went by, Lin Yuan's aura steadily improved without him noticing, like a long stream of water, not ostentatious but unwavering.

Finally, at a certain moment, his aura suddenly lifted, and he suddenly achieved a small but obvious improvement.

Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes and released his cultivation hand seals. The vortex of energy surrounding his body also dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

He felt the changes in himself and showed a satisfied smile. "I am at the late stage of the sixth star, not far from the peak of the sixth star. Xuanyuan Pill is indeed a sixth-grade high-level pill. Its effect in assisting cultivation is much better than Qingyuan Pill."

"The effect of the medicine will last for about ten days, which should be enough for me to reach the peak of six stars and touch the threshold of seven stars."

Lin Yuan let out a light breath, ended his practice, stood up and stretched his muscles.

After a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself: "The elixir and secret method are all ready. Next, it's time to move on to the next step - tempering the soul clone and completing the concept of controlling multiple types of strange fire."

"Before that, I need to temper my own soul first."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan took out a purple pill from his storage ring. It was the Purple Soul Yuan Pill that he had refined half a month ago.

Looking at the pill in front of him, Lin Yuan's eyes condensed slightly, and then he swallowed the Purple Soul Yuan Pill in one gulp.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm and deep power surged to his forehead and penetrated into his soul. As the power of the Purple Soul Yuan Pill was released, Lin Yuan's soul began to boil.

The powerful medicinal power gently nourished his soul while ruthlessly removing the impurities and weaknesses within it.

Wherever the drug passes, the soul and body are tempered in pain as if being torn apart and burned.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and devoted himself to the soul refinement. He guided the medicinal power of the Purple Extreme Soul Yuan Pill to flow through his soul, and every time it passed through a place, it refined his soul to be purer and more stable.

A few hours later, when the last trace of the medicinal power was completely absorbed, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his star-like eyes.

Feeling his own condensed and solid soul power at this moment, he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile. Following his own inspiration, his hands formed a set of complicated seals smoothly, and the surging soul power gathered in his palms.

"Soul Seal, Soul Essence Palm."

Following Lin Yuan's light shout, a soul palm print suddenly condensed, and even the space around it showed a very obvious distortion.

"go with!"

Lin Yuan flicked his fingers, and the soul palm print flew out like lightning, rushing towards a mountain in the distance, tearing a dark gap in the space wherever it passed.

The soul palm print, which was originally as big as Lin Yuan's palm, suddenly expanded when it was about to touch the mountain wall, and turned into a huge invisible soul palm print, which slammed into the mountain wall like a cannonball.

"boom--"

There was a loud bang, and the entire mountain began to tremble violently. On the mountain wall, cracks as thick as arms spread out like spider webs, and in a short time, they covered the mountain wall.

Looking at the mountain that was on the verge of collapse under the bombardment of the soul handprint, there was an unconcealable joy in Lin Yuan's deep eyes.

"This attack is no less powerful than an ordinary Dou Zong attack."

"The soul power close to the peak of the seventh rank, coupled with the orthodox earth-level soul skills, is indeed enough to exert the power of Dou Zong level."

"Moreover, after being tempered by the Purple Extreme Soul Yuan Pill, the use of soul skills is smoother and faster than before, and the Soul Profound Seal can be used in actual combat. I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise. Perhaps, this is the real use of the Purple Extreme Soul Yuan Pill?"

"The soul has been tempered enough, now it's time to temper the soul clone!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing for a while, then took out the Shengling Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the medicinal power of the Shengling Pill dissolved in his body, Lin Yuan's tremendous spiritual power surged steadily, and an intoxicating sense of power filled his heart from the depths of his soul.

"Well--"

Lin Yuan let out a long breath and made a comfortable sound, but his eyes were slightly gloomy, "Oh, this feeling of power is an illusion, not worth lingering on, disperse it. Purifying Soul Technique: Slashing Thoughts!"

As the thought of cutting was in operation, distracting thoughts were instantly eliminated, the mind instantly became clear, and the illusory sense of power that was lingering in the mind disappeared completely.

"Purifying Spirit Technique: Clear and Clear!"

As he entered the state of emptiness and clarity, Lin Yuan's eyes became extremely lofty, his computing power skyrocketed, and the skyrocketing soul power became as easy as using one's arm under the huge computing power of the state of emptiness and clarity.

　Sorry, book friends, it’s a little late. I forgot to set the scheduled update for this chapter.

　　Tell me the name of Medusa.

　　I personally don't like the name Cai Lin. So, I thought about the name of Queen Medusa for a long time. I was always struggling to come up with a name related to the imagery of rainbow or seven colors, but I couldn't think of anything suitable. In the end, fortunately, I put aside all restrictions and used a grand name that I liked. This name will not be used too often. Most of the time, it is still called Queen and Medusa. It is similar to the name Mu Yunxian given to Xiao Yixian.
