Queen Medusa lightly brushed her slender fingers through her hair, a cold glint flashing in her purple eyes.
"What, if you want the Strange Fire, why are you asking me for it? Do you think I would touch such a rare and precious treasure?"
Seeing that Queen Medusa wouldn't admit it, Jiang Cheng wasn't in a hurry. From the battle qi within Queen Medusa's body, it was clear that she had indeed suffered the pain of being burned by the Strange Fire, and it was impossible that her battle qi couldn't recover in a short time.
Hai Bodong couldn't help but show a solemn expression. Strange Fire... the bloodline of the Snake-People is cold and sinister. Touching the Strange Fire is like a moth flying into a flame. Does she not value her life?
"Leave the Snake-People tribe before I get angry, otherwise, no matter how strong you are, I will do everything in my power to kill you."
Queen Medusa licked her alluring lips, her battle qi, full of bloodlust, swirling around her, completely enveloping her body.
Clearly, if Jiang Cheng continued his relentless pursuit, given her personality, she would fight to the death to ensure the two of them remained in this world forever.
Seeing that Queen Medusa remained unmoved, Jiang Cheng calmly extended a finger. She was currently only a peak Dou Huang, easily suppressed even a Dou Zong expert, let alone someone with Dou Sheng cultivation. An
invisible force, like a divine weapon descending from the heavens, heavily pressed down on Queen Medusa's shoulders. Medusa's expression suddenly changed in shock; she felt her body sink, and then lost control of her Dou Qi wings, landing directly beneath Jiang Cheng. The cracking sound of bones echoed throughout the entire Sacred Pool.
Crystal-clear beads of sweat streamed down her face, even soaking her clothes, revealing a physique that could drive any man wild.
Queen Medusa gritted her teeth, her face contorted in pain, and asked, "What realm have you reached?"
Jiang Cheng whispered in her ear, "Dou Sheng."
Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa's beautiful purple eyes widened in disbelief. Only eight short years had passed; how could he have broken through from a nine-star Dou Wang to Dou Sheng in one fell swoop?
Jiang Cheng withdrew his wire, and Queen Medusa was drenched in sweat, her breathing becoming rapid, her chest heaving, a testament to her astonishment.
"I am a Confucian scholar from the Academy. I do not care about what happened back then,"
Jiang Cheng said gentlemanly, extending his right hand. But how could Queen Medusa allow this man to touch her precious body?
She directly opened his right hand, struggled to her feet, and said with a slightly solemn look in her beautiful eyes, "I must admit, you are indeed the most talented expert I have ever seen. If what you say is true, your talent is worthy of being recorded in history books throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent."
"To be praised so highly by a Dou Huang of the Snake-Human Clan is an immense honor."
"Now, can we discuss the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"
Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa frowned and asked, "How do you know that I obtained the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"
"The fire is bluish, the fire is like a lotus, like a volcano. If I am not mistaken, I know that the strange fire in your hand is the nineteenth on the Strange Fire Ranking, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."
Queen Medusa's pupils shrank, and she bit her lower lip, appearing exceptionally charming and alluring. Since the other party had already said so, she generously admitted, "That's right, it is indeed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."
"However, I obtained this strange fire with great difficulty, so naturally, I will not let you take it away so easily."
"Of course, state your conditions."
Seeing the other party's straightforwardness, Queen Medusa stated her own conditions, "I need three Grade 7 Transformation Pills, two Dou Zong Pills, and a rare and precious medicinal material that can help me break through to the Dou Zong realm. Otherwise, even if it means death, I will not hand over the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!"
This was Queen Medusa's last act of stubbornness; given her temperament, she would never give up the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame so easily.
Grade 7 Transformation Pills were already rare and precious medicinal materials, and the required ingredients were even more valuable. Even Gu He, the Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire, was unable to refine them successfully.

This clearly demonstrates the rarity and value of the Grade Seven Transformation Pill. Queen Medusa not only demanded three Grade Seven Transformation Pills, but also two Dou Zong Pills, and rare and precious materials that would allow her to break through to the Dou Zong realm—items unimaginable to ordinary people.
Hai Bodong rushed over, "Little guy, you can't agree! This guy is clearly extorting you. Three Grade Seven Transformation Pills are probably just a way to make you back down!"
Medusa frowned slightly and said, "Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, have you forgotten what happened twenty years ago? If it weren't for her, you would already be a corpse!"
Hai Bodong said with extraordinary composure, "That was just my fate. Medusa, if your Snake-People hadn't so arrogantly thought that killing her would allow you to leave the desert, what would have happened? Twenty years have passed, and you're still stuck in the same place."
"You!"
Queen Medusa was about to attack when Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke up.
"No problem, I agree."
These words stunned not only Hai Bodong, but even Queen Medusa, a peak Dou Huang, cast a surprised glance.
Such a precious item was something few in the entire Northwest Continent could produce, yet he agreed so readily.
Unbelievable!
"I happened to see a message about the Snake-People Queen in an ancient book. The Snake-People Queen's strength reaches the peak of Dou Huang. Given enough opportunity, she can have a strange encounter that not only allows her to freely transform into human form, but also to advance to Dou Zong." "
And what's needed for evolution is a different kind of fire."
Queen Medusa's cherry lips parted slightly, and she smiled, saying, "I didn't expect you, you lecherous scoundrel, to know these things. It truly makes me look at you with new eyes." Her
composed demeanor completely concealed her previous timidity.
Her narrow eyes narrowed slightly as she said, "Even if you know, you must meet the conditions I mentioned. Otherwise, I will not let you obtain the different kind of fire."
Hai Bodong wanted to stab the woman in the back, but Jiang Cheng stopped him; completing the system task was the most important thing.
Although Jiang Cheng wasn't particularly interested in the Burning Flame Technique, obtaining it would allow him to stabilize more different flames, thereby strengthening his alchemist level, making the trip worthwhile.
"I can give you the first few items, but the herbs to help you break through to the Dou Zong level will take some time. I wonder if the Queen is interested in leaving the depths of the Tagor Desert?"
"Hehe." Medusa chuckled, her beauty as captivating as a hundred flowers in bloom. "I dare to endure the pain of being burned by different flames, so why wouldn't I dare leave this place with you?"
"Alright, take me to get the different flames."
However, Queen Medusa remained motionless, causing Jiang Cheng to frown. Had this woman changed her mind again?
