Chapter 65 Agreement
The key to Lin Yuan's game is to meet, communicate and cooperate with Yunshan without attracting any unnecessary attention.

When Lin Yuan decided to meet Yunshan, he first excluded Yunlan Sect when choosing a meeting place. If he went to Yunlan Sect in person and a conflict arose, he would have to face Yunshan and Wu Hufa on their home ground. Not only would he alert the enemy, but he might not even have a chance to escape.

You can't just hope that the weirdo Guardian Wu is not around or doesn't covet the soul of a sixth-rank alchemist like him.

How could Lin Yuan rely entirely on luck or the mistakes of others for his life?

After careful consideration, he finally chose the Tagor Desert where the snake people lived as the meeting place.

In order to lure Yunshan into the desert, Lin Yuan made careful plans.

First, he specially processed the seal for Hai Bodong in the desert area, which attracted Medusa's attention and led to the fierce battle.

Later, he used the life of the defeated Medusa as a bargaining chip to successfully join the snake people, reached a cooperation with the snake people, and became a powerful elder. In this way, he could borrow the power of the snake people and turn this desert into his home.

Then, Lin Yuan revealed the news of Tagor's strange fire to Gu He through Hai Bodong and the Miter family, and asked Queen Medusa to release false news in the desert area to prove that there was indeed strange fire in the desert. He also specially sent colorful scales with the breath of strange fire into the strange fire cave to lead Gu He into the depths of the desert.

As the honorary elder of Yunlan Sect and the chief alchemist of Yunlan Sect, Gu He would definitely seek the help of Yunlan Sect's leader Yun Yun for such an important matter as coming to this dangerous desert to obtain the strange fire. In this way, Yun Yun fell into the trap.

As a result, the two main pillars of the Yunlan Sect - the current Sect Master Yun Yun and the Chief Alchemist Gu He - fell into Lin Yuan's trap at the same time and were captured by Lin Yuan.

The fact that Yun Lan Sect lost these two pillars at the same time would certainly force Yun Shan out of seclusion and ask him to come to the desert to deal with the matter in person. If he didn't come, Lin Yuan would detain everyone from Yun Lan Sect who tried to come here to deal with the problem until Yun Shan came.

In order to ensure that Yunshan came to the desert alone, Lin Yuan spread the news of Gu He and others being captured to the top leaders of the Jia Ma Empire. In order to increase the credibility of the news, he made Feng Li, one of the top ten strong men in the Jia Ma Empire, escape successfully, so that everyone in the Jia Ma Empire had a channel to verify it.

The news was also released, asking all the major forces to come and redeem the people. In this way, the top leaders of the Jia Ma Empire would pay attention to this matter.

Before completing the mission related to the Xiao family, the guardian Wu would never dare to expose himself to the sight of so many forces. Because if it was because of him that the ancient clan discovered the traces of the Soul Palace in the Jia Ma Empire and destroyed the plans of the Soul Palace's high-level officials, then he would not be able to die a few times.

After this series of arrangements, Yunshan will leave his home ground, break away from the guardian Wu, and come to the desert alone. Lin Yuan will also have enough time and means to reach a "cooperation" with Yunshan.

From the outside, this was just a simple incident where Gu He and his companions broke into the snake tribe and were captured, and Yun Shan went out to rescue them. And Lin Yuan, the manipulator behind the scenes, was never exposed to the sight of the Jia Ma Empire's high-level officials or the Soul Palace.

This round is finally coming to an end, and Lin Yuan is in a good mood.

"Queen, would you like to have a drink with me?" Lin Yuan raised the glass in his hand, looked at Queen Medusa with a smile, and said casually.

Queen Medusa looked at Lin Yuan in front of her, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. Obviously, his cultivation was not as good as hers, and he was younger than her, but his untold strength and deep thoughts made her feel a little elusive.

Queen Medusa shook her head, trying to dispel the chaotic thoughts in her mind, picked up the wine glass in front of her, raised it and drank it all, "Since you are so interested, I will accompany you."

Lin Yuan also drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing this, Qinglin, who was standing by, picked up the wine jug and refilled their glasses.

After drinking two cups, Queen Medusa seemed to relax a little. She looked at Lin Yuan steadily and said in a deep voice: "Are you really sure you can fight Yunshan? Although you defeated me by trickery without using the secret method that can temporarily improve your strength, you can defeat me head-on with that secret method. However, I still have some understanding of the gap between the peak of Douhuang and Douzong, and that cannot be made up by a secret method."

Lin Yuan put down his wine glass and looked at the smart woman in front of him who had guessed a lot of things just by himself. He became more interested. "Her Majesty the Queen has been watching me all this time. Why don't you guess what my confidence is? If you guess right, I won't take a penny of the ransom from the Jia Ma Empire this time."

"Oh? Interesting. I'll have to think about it carefully." Queen Medusa smiled charmingly, tapping her forehead lightly with her slender fingers, thinking about Lin Yuan's way to break the impasse.

Lin Yuan drank while admiring the thoughtful look of the beauty in front of him.

"It's a pill!" After a while, Medusa's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, with wisdom shining in her eyes, "I remember that before you refined the Snake Marrow Bone-Shedding Pill, you refined two sixth-grade pills that were not as good as this one. I have also heard that some pills can enhance a person's cultivation in a short period of time."

"Your Majesty's intelligence has lived up to my expectations. You won this time. Everything that the Gama Empire got from ransoming people is yours." Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Yuan praised sincerely. At the same time, he once again reminded himself in his heart that it was not because he was smarter than others, but because of his advantage in intelligence that he was able to succeed in his calculations repeatedly. He must not look down on others because of this.

Having won a small victory over Lin Yuan, Queen Medusa was in a good mood and sighed, "In this Douqi Continent, too many troubles can be solved with alchemy and a pill. Alchemy is really magical." Hearing the other party's sigh, Lin Yuan seemed to remember the scene of his hard work in practicing alchemy, and his eyes were a little vague, "That's why I attach so much importance to it. It deserves my attention, isn't it?"

"It is indeed worth it. Unfortunately, my snake people are born with a cold constitution and are destined to have no chance of making alchemy. It's really a pity." Thinking of this, Queen Medusa couldn't help but look a little gloomy. As a queen, she understood too well the role of high-level alchemists to a tribe.

Shaking her head, Queen Medusa looked at Qing Lin behind Lin Yuan and said in a serious and joking tone, "Little girl, you have half of my snake race's blood flowing in your body. Have you ever thought about returning to my race? Your cultivation talent is so outstanding, it's a pity to be a maid. I can make the decision. If you return, you will be the eldest princess of the Snake Empire, second only to me and several elders."

After she said this, she glanced at Lin Yuan lightly, but Lin Yuan's expression did not change at all.

"No, I just want to be your maid and stay by your side." Qinglin refused without even thinking about it.

"Really?" Queen Medusa felt a little complicated when she saw Qing Lin's expression without any hesitation. She drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put it down, straightened her body, and said seriously: "Elder Alchemist, about what I mentioned before?"

"Are you talking about using the strange fire to help you evolve?" When it came to the main matter, Lin Yuan also put away his nonchalant expression, "I can help you with that matter, but it will take some time."

"Why?"

"I don't know when Yunshan will attack. I need to keep myself in peak condition to deal with him."

"Moreover, this matter is of great importance, and it can be called a gamble of life and death. As the fifth elder of the snake people, I cannot watch my queen take such a risk so easily. I believe that the other four elders share the same opinion as me."

"But didn't you promise before?"

"That was based on the premise that you captured Gu He and Yun Yun for me, but I captured Yun Yun, so the agreement is invalid."

"you"

"Besides, it's not that I won't help you, but I think it's too hasty to simply use that secret bloodline method to evolve. There is room for improvement. I have made a plan with that secret method as the core. Please take a look at it for any questions or suggestions."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan took out a notebook from his storage ring and placed it on the table.

Medusa Evolution Plan: First Edition

Queen Medusa saw this and picked up the notebook with a strange look on her face. The more she read, the more complicated her mood became. This notebook was a complete plan based on the blood secrets passed down by the Snake People's ancestors. What made her laugh and cry was that the plan proposed by a human was much more perfect than what she, the queen of the Snake People, had expected. Was it because the alchemists' vast knowledge base gave them a unique perspective?
Closing the notebook, Queen Medusa asked with mixed feelings, "So you want me to prepare the things in the plan first before you help me?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said seriously, "That's right! I will help you evolve when you are ready. I can help you with alchemy, but you have to find the ingredients for the Heavenly Soul Pill yourself. Oh, there is one more thing."

Lin Yuan seemed to have thought of something. He took out a scroll from his ring and handed it to Queen Medusa. "Sign this."

Queen Medusa opened the scroll with some doubts, but her blood pressure rose as soon as she saw the beginning. There were only four big words written on it - Disclaimer.

Queen Medusa suppressed her anger and after reading the entire article, the complicated look she had given Lin Yuan before had turned into a cold one.

The entire meaning of this scroll is that Queen Medusa insisted on the assistance of the alchemist elders for this evolution. If it fails or there are serious problems, all the responsibilities will be borne by Queen Medusa, and the alchemist elders will not bear any responsibility. The snake people cannot blame the alchemist elders for this matter.

Looking at Queen Medusa's angry eyes, Lin Yuan spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't look at me like that! Even with my help, the chances of evolving successfully are not high. I'm just preparing for a rainy day."

"After all, you don't want me to become hostile to the snake people because of me helping you, right?"

　　This chapter is a summary of my attempt to write a long plot during this period. This plot was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but a well-planned plot that started when entering the desert. The protagonist has many purposes for entering the desert, but Yunshan has always been the main target. The purpose of dealing with Gu He is indeed to use him and Yun Yun as bait to lure out of Yunshan. Because Yunshan involves the ancient jade and the soul palace, I spent more time and effort to write about it.
