Chapter 167 Lakes and Bamboo Forests
It's important to understand that what Xiao Feng valued was Medusa's appearance and the feeling of being moved by her for the first time, not her future or strength. Perhaps he initially had such thoughts about Medusa, but the moment he actually saw her, those thoughts were already forgotten and were no longer his primary concern.
Even if Medusa doesn't use this secret technique, he can still help her improve her strength. Although he can't guarantee that Medusa will be able to break through to the Dou Sheng realm in the future, with the resources at his disposal, it's more than enough to cultivate her to the Dou Zun realm.
Even when his strength advances further and his influence expands further, it seems not impossible for him to cultivate Medusa into a Dou Sheng. After all, who can predict the future?
Xiao Feng said, "Now I can tell you clearly that even if you don't use this secret technique, I can still give you a Transformation Pill, which will allow you to successfully transform into human form. After that, I can provide you with all kinds of pills and rare treasures, enough to further enhance your strength."
This time, Xiao Feng gave Medusa two choices: one was to rely on herself, fight for a bright future, and if she won, everything would be fine; if she lost, she would be doomed!
The other option is to rely on him. This choice carries no risk. As long as things develop step by step, Medusa's achievements will definitely not be too bad!
But Medusa remained unmoved by Xiao Feng's words. Who was she? She was Medusa! She was the Queen of the Snake-People! She was the infamous Medusa, renowned throughout the Gama Empire! She possessed her own pride and her own thoughts!
She replied firmly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I will not change my mind. I have made up my mind!"
"Whether for the snake people or for myself, I have to give it my all!" Medusa didn't say this aloud, but thought it to herself.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng gave Medusa a deep look, and then said, "Alright, whatever you say."
In fact, Xiao Feng had already guessed Medusa's answer. During the time he had been in contact with her, he had come to know her to some extent. Xiao Feng knew very well that Medusa was a proud person and she would not choose the first option he offered!
To be honest, Xiao Feng was also conflicted. On the one hand, Medusa's current choice was the one that best aligned with his thoughts, because Medusa was sticking to her own beliefs and had her own ideas, which was a very good approach.
Xiao Feng regarded Medusa as his woman and his future wife, so he hoped that his wife would be a person with her own opinions and principles, rather than someone who would blindly depend on him or others.
But on the other hand, he wanted to persuade Medusa because he knew the risks involved. If they failed, Medusa would face only death!
After much hesitation, Xiao Feng ultimately refrained from offering any words of advice. All the thoughts he wanted to say were condensed into one sentence: "I believe in you!"
He was encouraging Medusa! And when Medusa heard Xiao Feng's words, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.
"Alright, follow me." With that, Medusa turned and walked into the temple. After passing through a long corridor, the view suddenly opened up to a huge lake with a small island in the middle, a truly beautiful sight. It was as if she had suddenly traveled into a primeval forest instead of the desert she had been in before. As for the corridor she had just passed through, it seemed not to be a corridor at all, but rather a spatial wormhole.
Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Feng could immediately see the strangeness of the place. In this area that belonged to the lake, there was a very strange energy restriction that prohibited all living things from flying. At the same time, the lake water below was obviously poisonous. If one were to come into contact with it, even a Dou Wang or Dou Huang would find it difficult to resist.
You must understand that in the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Wang and Dou Huang are already the strongest beings! How precious and terrifying must a poisonous creature be to be able to threaten them?
The fact that such strict prevention and control measures are in place clearly indicates that there is something even more important to protect.
Without hesitation, Xiao Feng stepped out and crossed the lake to Medusa's side.
Although there was an energy barrier above the lake and the water below was highly poisonous, these were like child's toys to Xiao Feng, utterly insignificant! These barriers naturally had no effect on him.
Upon arriving on the island, you are greeted by a lush bamboo forest. The verdant bamboo grove, combined with the surrounding environment, makes it a truly beautiful place.
Passing through a bamboo path, you come to a clearing. The surrounding bamboo and flowerbeds are completely bare, clearly having been deliberately pruned. Small, smooth stones are scattered throughout, forming a small pool in the open space.
The small pool was filled with crystal-clear water, and some white mist swirled around its surface. Even from a distance, Xiao Feng could still feel the chill emanating from the water.
"This is no ordinary liquid!" Anyone who sees this scene would involuntarily have this thought.
Xiao Feng and Medusa stood side by side in front of a pool. Looking at the pool of water in front of them, Xiao Feng couldn't help but think to himself, "This should be the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. It seems that Medusa has been planning to collect so much Ice Spirit Cold Spring for a long time."
"This is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Do you want to perform a secret technique here?" Xiao Feng asked.
"That's right." Medusa wasn't surprised that Xiao Feng recognized the Ice Spirit Spring in front of her. Although the Ice Spirit Spring was precious, it was nothing special to someone at her level. Otherwise, how could she have collected so many Ice Spirit Springs? And for Xiao Feng, who was even stronger than her, it was even less of a deal.
For some reason, Medusa's tone now carried an interesting softness and shyness, and a blush appeared on her face.
This change left Xiao Feng somewhat bewildered, but his immediate priority was Medusa's evolution, so he didn't dwell on it further.
