A jade bottle appeared in Xiao Tian's hand — it was precisely the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source.
He opened the lid, and the Seven-Colored Little Snake instantly appeared at the bottle's mouth, excitedly sticking her head inside.
She licked at it fiercely with her tongue several times, consuming a tenth of the amount in an instant.
The little snake, full, pulled her head out of the jade bottle, her light purple eyes filled with satisfaction.
Xiao Tian reached out and stroked the little snake's head.
The little snake did not dodge, allowing Xiao Tian to caress her, and even rubbed her small head against his palm affectionately.
"Little one, will you come with me? I'll give you all of this to eat."
Queen Medusa — the biggest naive sweet girl in the Dou Qi Continent — was being packed away like this.
Xiao Tian placed the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source in front of her again, smiling like a strange uncle luring an ignorant young girl.
The Seven-Colored Little Snake licked at it fiercely twice more before burrowing into Xiao Tian's sleeve, coiling around his wrist, and gradually falling into a deep sleep to digest.
Its body began glowing with a nine-colored light.
Xiao Tian was shocked. He searched his memories from Purifying Lotus Demonic Saint and suddenly understood.
Because of the dual cultivation they had shared under the heavenly tribulation, and with the help of the Life Spirit Flame, Medusa had directly broken through the bloodline barrier. She had become a true Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python instead of the Seven-Colored version.
Since this little snake had appeared before their dual cultivation, it had only shown seven colors.
Xiao Tian was stunned. Was dual cultivation with him actually this beneficial for magical beasts?
He quickly checked inside his own body to see if he had gained anything.
He was shocked.
Because there was a change in his bloodline. He sensed that his bloodline had become much stronger, carrying a heavenly aura. He understood because in his legacy memory, it also mentions heavenly tribulation can upgrade human bloodline, because Medusa had dragged him into the heavenly tribulation, and they had dual cultivated while her bloodline was unstable, his own bloodline had also transformed.
The Heaven Devouring Dreamweaver Art had manifested a new bloodline — Dreamweaver Emperor Bloodline.
It greatly strengthened his soul energy, gave his body the durability of a divine weapon, and allowed him to devour heaven-and-earth energy more efficiently for cultivation. It was an extremely domineering bloodline, born from the might of the heavenly tribulation itself.
Xiao Tian threw his head back and laughed several times.
"Hahahaha!"
He walked with a joyful expression toward the very center of the lake island, arriving at a small pool filled with Ice Spirit Cold Spring Water.
Above the pool was a lotus seat carved from peculiar crystals.
Inside the lotus seat was a cluster of green flames.
Xiao Tian grabbed the lotus seat and tried to store it in the system space.
The lotus seat and the strange flame were immediately taken in and suppressed.
Not wanting to waste anything, he also collected all the Ice Spirit Cold Spring Water, leaving not a single drop.
He looked around, finding nothing else.
Xiao Tian's plan for this outing had been a complete success.
He simply left a message and departed.
"Old Wen, let's go."
Wen Yan took Xiao Tian and vanished into space, moving away in the direction of Serpent-People City.
The two hurried along and arrived at an oasis, where they saw Xiao Yan leaning against a rock.
Hearing movement, Xiao Yan stood up, on guard, but seeing it was Xiao Tian, he said, "Tian Ge, why are you here?"
"I'm here to deliver something."
Xiao Tian smiled.
Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Yao Lao instantly appeared: "Did you bring the item?"
"Teacher, why are you out?"
Xiao Yan asked in surprise.
"It's fine, Xiao Tian is not an outsider. When you were unconscious in the Magical Beast Mountain Range before, Xiao Tian and I already met."
Yao Lao said nonchalantly.
Xiao Tian flipped his hand, and a crystal lotus flower appeared.
Yao Lao looked at the green little snake swimming back and forth inside the lotus flower. A flicker of excitement crossed his face, then he composed himself.
"It is indeed the Green Lotus Core Flame, no mistake."
"A strange… strange flame? And it's the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth?"
Xiao Yan's mouth dropped open, his voice stammering as he asked.
"Mmm."
After Yao Lao nodded in response to Xiao Yan, the black scroll from last night appeared in his hand again, and he directly threw it to Xiao Tian, who caught it with his free left hand.
Xiao Tian simply glanced at the words on it before putting it away.
He then sent the Green Lotus Core Flame in his hand to float before Yao Lao, who with a wave of his hand, sent the item directly to Xiao Yan.
"Tian Ge, Teacher, this, this, this?"
Xiao Yan held the strange flame in his hand and asked in confusion.
"This is a transaction between Xiao Tian and me. He helps me find strange flames, and I give him compensation. Alright, let's find a place to refine this strange flame first."
"Mmm."
...
After leaving Xiao Yan, Xiao Tian spent two days returning to Stone Desert City.
Upon returning, the city was still the same as before, with no changes.
In Little Fairy Doctor's small courtyard, a petite green figure was meditating and cultivating, while a light purple figure sat by the stone table nearby.
The aura of the green figure had already reached a two-star Dou Practitioner.
"Little Fairy Doctor, I've successfully broken through!"
Qing Lin, whose breakthrough aura had stabilized, opened her eyes, stood up, and happily told Little Fairy Doctor.
"Qing Lin, well done. Breaking through to a two-star Dou Practitioner in just over half a month. You truly are gifted."
A man dressed in a white brocade robe with gold trim appeared in the courtyard.
"Young Master, you're back!"
Qing Lin cheered happily.
Little Fairy Doctor also stood up and came before Xiao Tian, examining him carefully: "You're back. Are things all taken care of?"
"Mmm, everything's done."
Xiao Tian embraced Little Fairy Doctor, feeling the softness of the woman in his arms, missing her greatly.
He whispered in her ear: "I missed you."
Little Fairy Doctor didn't speak, just hugged him back tightly.
After a while, Little Fairy Doctor left his embrace and looked at the happily jumping Qing Lin: "Qing Lin, your Young Master, whom you've thought about day and night, is back. Don't you have a reaction?"
"Little Fairy Doctor, you're too mean!"
Qing Lin, exposed by Little Fairy Doctor, covered her face, too embarrassed to show herself.
Xiao Tian walked to Qing Lin's side, stroked her cute little head, and looked at her, who was now level with his shoulder: "Qing Lin seems to have grown quite a bit taller."
"Mmm~" Qing Lin shyly let out a trailing sound.
The three had a warm dinner together.
During this time, Xiao Ding, who learned of Xiao Tian's return, also came over, and it eventually turned into a grand banquet.
...
At night, the moon and stars were sparse in the night sky.
A figure moved erratically, constantly flashing, finally arriving at the Little Fairy Doctor's room door.
Under the moonlight, a handsome face was revealed — it was Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian looked at the door, which wasn't tightly closed, pushed it open, and walked in.
Hearing the door close, Little Fairy Doctor, who was meditating, opened her eyes.
Seeing Xiao Tian standing before her, her face immediately lit up with joy.
"You're here."
Xiao Tian sat directly beside her: "You're even more beautiful, Xian'er."
"You said you'd come find me tonight and asked me to send Qing Lin away. You're not planning to do anything bad, are you?"
Little Fairy Doctor looked at him warily.
"Do I look like that kind of person?"
"You don't look like it, you are that kind of person."
Little Fairy Doctor said with a confirmed expression.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Xiao Tian denied twice: "I'm here to give you something good."
A jade bottle appeared in his hand.
"Is this a pill?"
Little Fairy Doctor asked, smelling the fragrance through the jade bottle.
"A fifth-grade pill, the Youth Preservation Pill."
Xiao Tian briefly explained the pill's effects, and Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up.
"Is this for me?"
Xiao Tian directly opened the bottle cap, poured out the pill, and placed it into her mouth.
A glow enveloped Little Fairy Doctor, and half a minute later, the glow disappeared.
At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor looked a little younger; her exposed skin was pure and smooth, so delicate it seemed it could break with a touch, and her entire person appeared exquisitely beautiful.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but place his hand on her face, which felt as smooth and delicate as cream.
