Chapter 333: Imparting the Secret Art of Heavenly Demon Puppets!
"Yue Mei, come here!"
Just as the four Snake People leaders were preparing to leave, Queen Medusa called out to Yue Mei.
Upon hearing Queen Medusa's words, Yue Mei paused and remained in place.
After staring intently at Yue Mei for a moment, Queen Medusa suddenly formed several hand seals, and a massive surge of red Dou Qi energy flowed into Yue Mei's body.
The golden threads that had sealed Yue Mei's meridians quickly dissolved under the influence of this red energy.
The seal cast by Xiao Jin was not particularly profound, so with Queen Medusa's help, Yue Mei's sealed strength was swiftly restored.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After regaining her Dou Wang strength, Yue Mei bowed joyfully to Queen Medusa.
"Yue Mei, you must have suffered a lot while being captured by the strongmen of Stone Desert City. In the future, I will avenge you. None of those humans who harmed you will escape!"
Generally, when Snake People women are captured by humans, they are subjected to humiliation and torture, especially someone like Yue Mei, who had no strength to resist due to the seal. Hence, Queen Medusa felt deeply for Yue Mei.
"Your Majesty, I wasn't mistreated in Stone Desert City. After my strength was sealed, the young leader of the Elder Brother Mercenary Group took me to his courtyard and allowed me to move freely." Upon hearing Queen Medusa's words, Yue Mei hesitated for a moment, a peculiar look in her eyes, and then slowly explained.
"Oh, you mean the young man who was with the shape-shifting beast warrior!" Queen Medusa responded in surprise upon hearing Yue Mei's explanation.
Queen Medusa had already learned from Liu Ling and Xiao Jin that one was the disciple of the white-robed man, and the other was a shape-shifting beast nurtured by the white-robed man.
"Yes, that's him!" Yue Mei respectfully answered Queen Medusa's question.
"However, before leaving, that young man used my life to coerce Moba Si and the others into swearing never to invade Stone Desert City!" Yue Mei added.
"I initially thought that boy had a good nature since he didn't mistreat Yue Mei, but it turns out he had an ulterior motive!" The Snake People Clan's Grand Elder said discontentedly after hearing Yue Mei's words.
Despite his displeasure, he didn't suggest doing anything to Liu Ling, knowing that Liu Ling was the disciple of the white-robed man, whom he greatly feared.
"Grand Elder, let's set these matters aside for now. Our clan members near the Demon Beast Mountain Range and the Jia Ma Empire's fortress still need you to call them back!" Queen Medusa suddenly said after the Grand Elder finished speaking.
"Understood!"
The Grand Elder nodded in agreement, knowing that Queen Medusa needed to return to the temple swiftly to await the arrival of Senior Alchemy Venerate.
After that, Queen Medusa and the Grand Elder of the Snake People Clan began to act separately.
...
In Stone Desert City, at the Elder Brother Mercenary Group's residence, in Liu Ling's small courtyard.
Liu Ling was extremely excited upon hearing that Gu He had obtained a Dou Venerate Pill from the white-robed man.
"Master, with this, your strength will become even more formidable," Liu Ling said happily.
At this point, he finally realized that Gu He's cultivation had reached the legendary Dou Zun realm.
Nodding in agreement with Liu Ling's words, Gu He then slowly said, "Yes, after obtaining this Dou Venerate Pill, I may need to go into seclusion for about ten days. You should quickly arrange things here and then return to the Yun Lan Sect."
βMoreover, as I promised you a reward last time, I will give it to you now!β
With these words from Gu He, Liu Ling's excitement grew even more, and he quickly crouched down.
After Liu Ling crouched, Gu He placed his palm gently on his head.
Now that Gu He was already at the peak of the Five-Star Dou Venerate level, and Liu Ling had just barely surpassed the Dou Spirit level, Gu He transmitted his power very slowly, ensuring the transmission speed was within Liu Ling's capacity to handle.
In just ten seconds, Liu Ling's cultivation skyrocketed to the Five-Star Dou Spirit level, and the speed showed no signs of slowing down. After a minute, Liu Ling's cultivation had directly reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Spirit level.
Although the peak of Nine-Star Dou Spirit had not yet reached Liu Ling's limit for receiving power transmission, Gu He suddenly stopped.
Since Liu Ling had only recently broken through the Dou Spirit realm a few days ago, staying in a single realm for too short a time could have some drawbacks. Therefore, Gu He planned to continue transmitting power to him after Liu Ling returned to the Yun Lan Sect.
"Already at Nine-Star Dou Spirit!"
Despite having received power transmissions many times before, Liu Ling was still surprised at this moment. Not long ago, he had just broken through to Dou Spirit, and now, within such a short period, he was almost stepping into the Dou King realm.
After transmitting power to Liu Ling, the system also made a notification sound in Gu He's mind. However, the returned cultivation of less than a year didn't attract Gu He's attention, and he didn't even consider entering the system space to check.
After the transmission, seeing Liu Ling continuously observing his changes, Gu He suddenly spoke: "Liu Ling, I now give you an additional task: break through to the Dou King realm before returning to the sect."
"Break through to Dou King!"
Upon hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling's expression became serious, as this temporary additional task was extremely challenging.
There were many Dou Spirit experts in this world, but the vast majority got stuck at this final step and eventually died of old age.
And now, Gu He wanted him to break through to Dou King in such a short time, making Liu Ling feel uncertain about his chances.
Seeing Liu Ling's reaction, Gu He chuckled and said, "What, no confidence? A few days ago, I projected myself to visit Xian'er, and she has already broken through to Dou King!"
"What, Junior Sister Xian'er has broken through to Dou King!"
Upon hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling's thoughts became somewhat complicated.
Although Liu Ling was happy for Xiao Yi Xian breaking through to Dou King, as the senior disciple, his cultivation being weaker than his junior sister's made him feel a bit embarrassed.
Thinking this, Liu Ling's eyes suddenly became resolute. He stood up straight, his voice full of determination as he said to Gu He, "Master, your disciple is confident in completing the task!"
"Good!"
Hearing Liu Ling's response, Gu He nodded and then lightly patted his shoulder, making him crouch down again.
"Liu Ling, next, I will impart to you a secret technique!"
