"A'Li, hurry up!"
Something happened to Qing Lin!
The sudden appearance of the red exclamation mark was a warning from the System.
Xiao Xue flew rapidly toward the direction indicated by the System while checking the System interface:
[Name: Qing Lin]
[Identity: Disciple]
[Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils — Awakened]
[coordinate:...]
Xiao Xue's brow furrowed. Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils had actually awakened early?!
What exactly happened during the time she was away?
Qing Lin's [coordinate] was changing rapidly, heading toward the border of the Jia Ma Empire.
Her current movement speed was not much slower than a Dou Huang.
In other words, the opponent likely possessed strength at the Dou Huang level.
The Jia Ma Empire was located in the Northwest Continent, and Stone Desert City was situated on the empire's northwestern border.
Therefore, Qing Lin's [coordinate] was moving quickly toward the northwest.
Xiao Xue's gaze sharpened as she urged A'Li to speed up, chasing in the direction Qing Lin was moving.
As she flew, she speculated about the opponent's identity.
There were only a few Dou Huangs in the Jia Ma Empire, so the opponent likely wasn't from the empire.
Leaving the Jia Ma Empire from this direction would lead to the territory of the Snake-People Clan.
Could it be... Queen Medusa?!
Xiao Xue's heart skipped a beat. "A'Li, even faster!"
Even if it wasn't Queen Medusa, the person or faction targeting Qing Lin must have set their sights on her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
Other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason worth a Dou Huang taking action.
If too much time passed, there was no guarantee that something bad wouldn't happen.
However, in this part of the Northwest Continent, there were currently no Dou Zong-level combatants.
A'Li's level had already recovered to Level 70, making her a Half-step Dou Zong, and she also possessed the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, which was most suitable for Demonic Beasts.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Fox Clan was naturally skilled in Mental Energy.
Now, A'Li's Soul Power had recovered to the Spirit Realm Initial Stage.
Soul Power at the Spirit Realm Initial Stage was comparable to an ordinary one-star Dou Zun!
Even if A'Li couldn't exert her full strength due to her memory loss, she could still hold her own against an ordinary Dou Zong.
So today, no matter who the opponent was, she would bring Qing Lin back safely!
Unconcealed killing intent flickered within Xiao Xue's ice-blue pupils.
"You dare to touch my people?!"
Even if the opponent was a Peak Dou Huang, they would pay the price for touching someone they shouldn't have!

Stone Desert City, Mo Tie Mercenary Group.
Due to Xiao Xue's arrival, the timeline had changed once again.
During the ten-plus days Xiao Xue stayed in Stone Desert City, she not only helped her eldest and second brothers refine Medicinal Pills but also gave Qing Lin some pills to build her foundation.
Xiao Xue was never stingy with her own people.
Although the Meridians of a Dou Qi practitioner are very fragile during the Dou Zhi Qi stage and cannot withstand the impact of a pill's medicinal power...
...Qing Lin was a human-snake hybrid.
While her Physique couldn't compare to a Snake-Person of the same level, it was quite a bit stronger than an average human's.
Pills that ordinary people couldn't use were not necessarily unbearable for Qing Lin.
Thus, Xiao Xue directly used the medicinal herbs in her possession to refine some "Beast Nurturing Spirit Liquid" for Qing Lin to use.
On Qing Lin, this "Beast Nurturing Spirit Liquid" could have an effect similar to the "Foundation Establishment Elixir."
When refining the spirit liquid, several of the medicinal herbs were from the stock A'Li had once left in the ruins.
Since these herbs had been in A'Li's possession, they had naturally, without Xiao Xue's knowledge, become tainted with a trace of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire's aura.
Even if it was only an extremely tiny trace, it held significant benefits for the current Qing Lin, who didn't even have the strength of a Dou Practitioner.
While Xiao Xue went to Mo City to "trade" with Hai Bodong, Qing Lin used the "Beast Nurturing Spirit Liquid" to successfully Breakthrough to the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi.
At the same time, her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were catalyzed by the medicinal power and awakened early.
Then, a certain Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, who had come to the Jia Ma Empire to "compete" with Medusa, happened to pass by this place... ———
Heavenly Serpent Mansion, one of the continent's first-rate factions, specific strength unknown.
