317: Chapter 317 Transformation Technique, Five Serpent Poison Seal

Looking up at the starry sky, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, reflecting the moonlight in the depths of his pitch-black eyes.

It was brilliant and resplendent, and before he knew it, he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, sunlight streamed down. Hun Tiandi awoke from his slumber. After cultivating for the night, his Dou Qi had recovered, and the fatigue deep within his soul had vanished.

Feeling refreshed, an absurd scene fell into his view.

Not far away, Mei Niang was reclining on a lounge chair. On a small table beside her sat some spirit wine, and she wore a sun hat woven from branches, enjoying a sunbath.

Beside her, Qing Yue was serving her respectfully, looking timid...

Liu Ling was the most excessive, using Sun True Fire to roast a Magical Beast. The golden oil sizzled, emitting a rich aroma that whetted one's appetite.

The small knife in Yan Xing's hand spun with extreme agility, slicing thick slivers that fell onto a prepared, exquisite jade plate, which was even garnished with a few spirit fruits.

He fawningly carried it over to offer to Mei Niang...

"Young Master, you're awake. Hurry and eat!" Qing Yue said excitedly after Hun Tiandi opened his eyes.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Liu Ling and Yan Xing bowed respectfully.

"Rise!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently. His gaze fell upon Mei Niang, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

"This Queen Medusa really thinks she's here on vacation..."

"She was just rescued from the bronze prison, and she's already forgotten so soon..."

Hun Tiandi stood up, took some clean water from his storage ring, washed up briefly, and began to prepare to eat.

"Hun Tiandi, this spirit wine of yours is not bad. From now on, this Queen wants to drink it every day..." Mei Niang said, her voice filled with a bewitching yet cold tone.

"Fine, I'll provide enough!" Hun Tiandi said helplessly, while internally complaining wildly.

This trip to the Snake-people Tribe was a losing business deal. He had originally intended to visit the treasury of the Snake-people Tribe, but he hadn't expected to encounter the imprisoned Queen Medusa.

Under her threat, he saved her from captivity and ended up being hunted by the Snake-people Tribe and the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

After escaping danger, who would have thought that this enchanting Queen would actually latch onto him...

"Your Majesty, is the person you brought with you the legendary Queen of the Snake-people Tribe, Medusa?" Liu Ling asked cautiously from the side.

"That's right. Why are you all so respectful to her?" Hun Tiandi asked, puzzled.

The strength of both Yan Xing and the other was far superior to Mei Niang's, so why they acted this way towards her left him confused.

"Your Majesty, this lady said she is your Empress?" Liu Ling hesitated slightly before speaking.

Cough, cough! Hun Tiandi, who was drinking, was shocked upon hearing this. He coughed violently, his refined face flushing red.

His eyes were filled with astonishment; this Queen Medusa was truly insane.

With her arrogant and unyielding nature, she was full of thorns, yet she actually wanted to be his Empress.

"What are you all talking about? So happy." At this moment, Mei Niang's cold voice came from behind, speaking slowly.

"It's nothing. Mei Niang, get ready. We are leaving this place to go collect medicinal herbs; we need to break the snake seal on your body."

Hun Tiandi spoke first, cutting off Mei Niang's further questioning.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Mei Niang's bewitching face. It seemed that this human youth really did take her affairs to heart.

"Wait, Your Majesty. If we leave this place, Empress Mei Niang's current appearance won't do. Dragging a huge snake tail will bring unnecessary trouble!"

Suddenly, Yan Xing spoke up, clarifying the situation they were facing.

Everyone's gaze turned in unison to the section of purple snake tail beneath Mei Niang.

"Mei Niang, can you completely transform into a human form?"

"No. The bloodline within this Queen is too strong; I cannot fully transform unless I advance to the Dou Zong level!" Mei Niang mused.

Everyone fell silent; this was truly a difficult matter.

If the snake tail could not be concealed, once they reached a human city, given the generations of blood feuds between the Snake-people Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire, they would definitely be hunted down.

"Perhaps, this King has a way?" Hun Tiandi said, not entirely sure.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze fell upon him.

He slowly closed his eyes. In his memories, the Hun Clan had once collected a secret technique that could allow Magical Beasts to temporarily transform into human form to travel outside.

His mind raced wildly, flipping through scrolls of cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, and secret arts like watching a movie.

Half an hour later, Hun Tiandi finally found that secret technique in the depths of his memory.

It was named: Shape-Shifting Technique.

This technique was passed down from the Major Thousand Worlds. It was unknown why it had drifted to the Fighting Qi Continent, passing through many hands before ending up in the Hun Clan's library collection.

Hun Tiandi had once read it.

It came from a supreme force called the Ice Domain, which had birthed a peerless genius of unparalleled talent who, in pursuit of powerful strength, had created this heaven-defying secret technique.

Among Magical Beast clans, the purer the bloodline, the later and more difficult it was to transform.

The most heaven-defying aspect of this technique was that it allowed Magical Beasts with rich bloodlines to transform into humans ahead of time, freely switching between human form and their Magical Beast body.

Such a peerless secret technique held immense appeal for Magical Beasts; if it were leaked, the Magical Beasts of the entire continent would be in an uproar.

He flipped his hand and took out a blank scroll from his storage ring, imprinting the Shape-Shifting Technique onto it.

After finishing this, Hun Tiandi took out another scroll and passed a secret technique named: Blood Refining Art, to Queen Medusa as well.

"Qing Yue, give these two secret techniques to Mei Niang!"

After doing this, Hun Tiandi's face was somewhat pale. Using soul power to imprint scrolls was the kind of thankless, exhausting task that most people were unwilling to do.

"Yes, Young Master!" Qing Yue said respectfully, then took the scrolls and walked towards Mei Niang on the lounge chair.

"A mere human youth, what kind of secret technique could he possibly produce?"

The lazy and nonchalant Mei Niang gently set down her wine glass, took the secret techniques from Qing Yue's hands, and cast a casual glance at them.

Boom!

Mei Niang's beautiful eyes, which were glowing with a purple light, instantly widened. A violent aura erupted from her body as she stared intently at the scroll.

Shape-Shifting Technique?

This human youth actually possessed such a heaven-defying secret technique; if the Magical Beasts knew, they would tear him to pieces.

Blood Refining Art?

After reading the Shape-Shifting Technique, she cautiously opened the other secret technique, the Blood Refining Art, for tempering the bloodline within her Magical Beast body.

It was pure and rich, infinitely close to the ancestral bloodline. If she obtained the opportunity, it would significantly increase her chances of achieving the same height as the ancestral bloodline.

Mei Niang looked at the eating and drinking Hun Tiandi, her heart filled with curiosity about this youth.

Just as she was preparing to cultivate the Shape-Shifting Technique, Hun Tiandi's voice came from behind.

"Mei Niang, Five-Snake Evil Poison Seal, is there any way to remove it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Ling's eyes lit up. The Earth Emperor of Stone Desert City had been struck by the Snake-people Tribe's seal, leaving him with less than a tenth of his strength.

The Mei Niang before them was the Queen of the Snake-people Tribe; wouldn't it be easy for her to break the seal on the Earth Emperor?

"Not right now. My strength hasn't recovered, I can't break it!"

Mei Niang said indifferently. Perhaps due to the two secret techniques, the arrogant and unyielding Queen of the Snake-people Tribe's voice lacked a hint of coldness.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, then fell into silence.

It seemed that taking a shortcut was not feasible. Thus, the only option was to let Liu Ling continue collecting medicinal herbs and refining medicinal pills.

Each prepared themselves. The four of them waited for Mei Niang to successfully cultivate the Shape-Shifting Technique so they could leave this scorching desert.

Qing Yue seized the time to cultivate on the side, improving her strength.

Yan Xing acted as a teacher, guiding her cultivation, and Qing Yue progressed very quickly.

Hun Tiandi closed his eyes, recalling the Dou Technique, Half-Step Crushing Fist, in his mind. This fist technique was suitable for close-quarters combat, where every punch connected with the flesh, and every part of the body could serve as the hardest weapon.

Hands, elbows, feet, legs, knees...

The fist force was known for its ferocity and strength. When trained to perfection, the attack contained Nine-Fold Force, which, when stacked, possessed power comparable to a Di-rank Dou Technique.
