On this day, when Hua Qiyue had just emerged from her cultivation trance, Xuanji came over and handed her a vial.
Hua Qiyue took it and looked. "Top-grade Magic Pellet again? City Master Bai seems to refine this pill as easily as cooking rice. Is it that simple?"
Hua Qiyue asked in surprise.
After all, this was the world's foremost divine pill. Not everyone could refine one.
"Of course not. It takes seven days to refine one Top-grade Magic Pellet. After a high-level alchemist has refined it, he will take two months or so to recover his energy. And some alchemists might not succeed and will explode and die!" Xuanji said quietly.
Hua Qiyue heard him and her face color changed a little. She had not expected the world's foremost pill to be so horrendously difficult to refine.
No wonder even those alchemists who could refine such pills would not do it for others.
"It looks like refining a To
Although Hua Qiyue had made the decision on the spot, Xuanji and the others also quietly packed their luggages. Needless to say, they would surely follow Hua Qiyue. Although they were just friends, they had lived together for a year and was used to one another's existence. Besides... being by her side had become a terrible habit. They could no longer change it. "Sister Qiyue, I heard that the north region of Yuewu Kingdom is an important site for the Dark Sect. The Dark Sect's so powerful that even the Emperor has to avoid them most of the time. Their men have committed all sorts of atrocities, and their powers are about the same level as the orthodox sects'. That's why, after battling for so many years, neither side has the edge. Surely, someone will watch us when we are in Xuanyuan City." Ji Jing said rather worriedly. After all, all their cultivation levels were not especially high. Ji Feng gave a light smile. "Jing'er, you
But in Tianci's heart, he was very sure that he should run away from here as soon as possible and find his mother. His father always forbade him to go out of this area and he also protected this area from others by a special array. And it was impossible for Tianci to plan to run away from here. Because if the array wasn't solved, Tianci would definitely not leave here, besides, Tianci had tried it. But, no matter how hard it was, Tianci wouldn't give it up because he had to meet his mother before he died! "Nothing, I'm fine... it was painful just now! Dad... am I... going to die like this? If I die, I can't go outside, can I?" Tianci said sadly, "Dad, I really want to go outside, it's boring here!" Yun Shimo frowned and had to said in a low voice, "Tianci, it's not safe outside because there are many bad people..." "Dad, you're so great, I won't get hurt... I won't!" Little guy seized Y
"Well, Tianci, are you feeling well?" Princess said and she didn't feel jealous. She looked at Tianci with a smile. Even Princess Qianyang was surprised by her behavior. Did she really change? She used to dislike the little guy as soon as she saw him, but today, she thought that he was a little cute? "I'm fine, thank you for asking, sister Princess!" Tianci said with a smile. While Yun Shimo calmly glanced at Princess Qianyang without saying anything. Yun Shimo asked Princess Qianyang to take care of Tianci, and he walked southwards. After Yun Shimo left, Tianci immediately said in a low voice, "Sister, my father goes to fix the array. You stay here and you do what I tell you as soon as you hear my voice." Princess Qianyang thought about it and nodded to show her agreement. Tianci hurriedly followed Yun Shimo, while Yun Shimo turned his head in a far distance and said, "Tianci, good boy
That man was just about to slip away when the man on the seat suddenly opened his eyes. That man felt that he had been enveloped in a cold chill. He began to shiver incessantly, feeling for some reason he was about to die. "Hmmm? What did you say? Hua Qiyue..." The man blinked. He did not immediately kill the man who had disturbed his sleep. That man seemed to have received amnesty. "Yes, yes! It's that Hua Qiyue—the one who killed the Venerated Supreme Devil. She's likely to be in Xuanyuan City three days later." That man answered, quaking in his boots. The man with blue hair gave a gasp of surprise. "So it's Hua Qiyue... it's her. I've heard that she's stunningly beautiful. Is it true?" "Yes, yes..." "Oh, that's good. Then, I've got fresh girls to play with!" The man with blue hair chuckled in great delight. "When she comes on that day, report to me at once. I will receive her personally. Hehe..."
"Why not do it this way. You stay here, Qiyue, while I go and take a look!" Ji Feng stood up and said quietly. "No. I, too, feel like someone's watching me. If I don't turn up, that Eighth Palace Leader won't let things rest." Hua Qiyue gave a slight smile. She went out before all the rest. The rest of the guests also rushed out to watch the scene. The moon had just risen. Two large lanterns had been lit and placed high before the inn, enveloping Hua Qiyue's person in its faint red glow. Her white skirt fluttered in the breeze and her black hair was all tied up. Her ravishing little countenance showed her calm and confidence. Xuanji and the others followed behind her. Sure enough, a sedan soon appeared racing here. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived before Hua Qiyue. The sedan stopped amid all the gasps of the watching crowds. The Eighth Palace Leader had rarely appeared outside his palace.
Huge beads of sweat dripped down Lan Luo's forehead. The pain became more and more intense. "Kneel!" With a cold bellow, Lan Luo could not help slumping down to his knees. He was shocked, struggling desperately to control his body. But he could not help himself! The fire had incinerated his finger. Lan Luo gave off a heart-rending growl. "If you don't agree, then in real life, I will let the Heart of Fire burn you in this way... tsk, tsk. A piece of trash without a face and without hands. Which woman can you attract? Your harem... would despise such a ugly monster too, I believe!" Hua Qiyue's cold voice quietly rang out. But Lan Luo could imagine how brutal this woman was! Once he became such a person, the women he had worked so hard to abduct would lose all admiration of him! Lan Luo had no great ambition. Otherwise, with his abilities, he could have become the Fifth or Sixth Palace Le
Tianci sat up. The Man-Hunting Insect started to buzz away, signaling Tianci to hurry. Tianci was so short of breath that he was still panting. How could he run fast? "No, running away isn't the solution! I can't outrun the tiger. Better rest first and recover some of my energy!" Tianci had naturally forgotten the fact he had once scared a large herd of evil beasts away. Now, his little heart was still thumping wildly and he felt terrible, just terrible. But he still quietly took out a pill and swallowed it. The pill was a Qi-recovery Pill. It could help him quickly restore his primordial energy. "Growl growl growl..." The wind became stronger. It blew the surrounding trees askew. One could tell how powerful that evil beast was, dashing toward Tianci! Little Tianci stared in terror at the scene before him. A black shadow had lunged past him. Something heavy fell in front of Tianci, caus
But Xuanji sent someone to speak at the front of the queue. The man quickly and respectfully allowed their carriages to enter first. "Who's that person? Why is he cutting the queue?" "How obnoxious! We're hurrying to the auction! Guards, don't you want silver? Come over here. I will give you 100 taels. Let us proceed first!" One of them, a wealthy, overbearing man, said loudly. "Hoho, don't be angry, sir. Those are eminent visitors!" The guard replied respectfully. His status was not high and he could not afford to offend anyone. "What? Eminent visitors? Humph, who is it? Is it the Eighth Palace Leader?" "Impossible. The Eighth Palace Leader, I heard, has been killed!" Hua Qiyue felt quite helpless in the carriage. Once the rumors started to fly, there would be many versions. "Yes. Haha, I heard that Hua Qiyue was a female ruffian. She slew that Palace Leader
The Fiery Divine Tree wrapped its branches around the white jade vial. It was greatly shocked. "Is this... an Essence Pearl? Are you... are you imparting all your powers to her?" Tianpi raised his brows. "She's my disciple. So why not? If you won't do it, I still have enough energy to destroy this forest. You must know that I'm half-demonized. Even you won't be my match." The Fiery Divine Tree went silent. Then it sighed lightly. "Ah... Very well then, I shall make this trip for you. But... I'm still shocked by your act. This must be a penance over the Peach Fairy?" "Old fellow, you're a busybody!" Tianpi raised his brows, very displeased. A wicked smile hovered over his diabolically handsome face. "Set off at once. And don't tell her it's from me. Tell her it's your gift to her. That bird and that stinking lad won't know what it is..." The Fiery Divine Tree silently departed. Once it left, Tianpi leaned against the gigantic tr
"Mom, what's wrong?" While Hua Qiyue was frantically searching for Tianci, a familiar boyish voice made her turn her head at once. She saw Hua Zun pulling Tianci and watching her curiously. When he found Hua Qiyue all drenched in blood, Hua Zun was greatly shocked. Tianci hurriedly threw himself forward. Hua Qiyue saw him and embraced Tianci fiercely in her arms. "Go at once... go quickly. In a moment, he will be here, he will be here!" Hua Qiyue cried out in terror. Night had fallen. All around in the forest were dense, overlapping shadows. It seemed that Tianpi's figure was everywhere! He seemed to be here everywhere. His presence drove Hua Qiyue to extreme panic. "Qiyue, what's wrong? What happened?" Hua Zun was frightened and stunned. It took him a long time to recover. By then, Hua Qiyue had already lifted Tianci up and raced away from Hua Zun's sight. Hua Zun followed closely behind. They left
"Qiyue is not willing to consummate our relationship, nor am I willing to hurt her. Even though I've demonized... I still retain a shred of sanity. Yun Shimo, don't you have a whiff of Qi from the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead? Force that Qi out for me now!" Tianpi cruelly curled up the corners of his lips. He was laughing smugly, his bloodshot eyes glittering with chill. "Otherwise, I will do something you won't want to see..." After he said this, he kissed Hua Qiyue's raven hair. Yun Shimo suddenly and tightly clenched his fists. Hua Qiyue was gasping slightly. She had never expected Tianpi to act this way. If Yun Shimo refused, would he kill her? "Didn't you say you are unwilling to hurt her? So release her now! You want the Qi from the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead? I'll let you have it!" Yun Shimo did not hesitate at all. Although he hated Tianpi for acting so wickedly, he was even more afraid that Hua Qiyue wo
She had said repeatedly that she would not marry Yun Shimo but Tianpi. Yet right now, she could not but be concerned over him. She was really a cheap slut! Hua Qiyue took a step back and left, heading for Ice Palace in a distraught state. She was afraid she would involuntarily go near him if she had stayed another second. Only after Hua Qiyue ran away did Yun Shimo slowly turned his body. He watched the direction from which she had left and smiled a bitter smile. He thought that she would still show him some care. But she could not overcome the hurdle in her heart. Forget it then! Let her do what she likes! Yun Shimo was already under the tree for a day and a night. His whole body had turned numb thanks to the cold. It it weren't for the anima energy inside his body, he would have frozen to death. After thinking for a day and a night, Yun Shimo came to a conclusion. Let Hua Qiyue live her life as she
On his arm was his blood-drenched robe. Hua Qiyue silently took them. "Let me wash it for you. Have a good rest." A blissful smile unfolded on Tianpi's pale face. "Haha, lass, you're so understanding. Thank you." Hua Qiyue rolled her eyes at him. They were already at their wits' end and yet he had the gall to joke with her. After washing his robe, she lay it out to dry in the sun. Then she went into the kitchen to heat up the tonic he had yet to finish and brought it to him. Tianpi had not yet fallen asleep. He was sitting cross-legged silently on his bed. When he heard the noise, Tianpi opened his eyes. He found Hua Qiyue had already brought him the soup. Pursing his lips, he gave a light smile. "Lass, you're more and more virtuous. Why don't we get married? After all, you won't accept Yun Shimo." It was a joke but it made Hua Qiyue crease her brows softly. She gave no answer, serving him the soup i
The Sun Moon Deity fumbled inside his Storage Ring and finally fished out a scroll. Hua Qiyue immediately unfurled it. It contained a rune sealing art. Since she, Yun Shimo and the Sun Moon Deity all understood runes, it would not be too difficult to execute such a sealing art. "The requirement is that you must have reached the first level of Great Deity. I've just reached that level. So it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Hua Qiyue glanced at the scroll and then threw it to Tianpi. When Tianpi saw the procedure inside, his wan face showed indifference. "It doesn't matter. Let's try it." Hua Qiyue heard him and was exceptionally happy. After Tianpi had been resealed, he could come out after the demonic energy in his body cleared. Hua Zun was rather suspicious. "Will it work? The rune sealing art 10,000 years ago was very powerful. Hare, are you sure your scroll isn't a counterfeit?" The
Was that... the demonic energy? Wasn't there only a slight whiff of it? It seemed there was a lot of demonic energy. Hua Qiyue's heart began to worry. As Tianpi gave a muffled snort, her nerves began to tense. Red hair began to sprout slowly on Tianpi's face. He seemed like a monkey. He gave another muffled snort and a white circle of light condensed desperately in his hand. Tianpi struck that white light forcefully on his head. Instantly, the crimson light on his body waned somewhat. But his striking hand had opened up a large gash on his face. Blood trickled down... Hua Qiyue could not bear to look. She turned away her head forcefully and headed out. Tianpi claimed that he was fine in the day, but he was lying. He must have wanted her not to worry. After Hua Qiyue left, Tianpi managed successfully to curb that layer of demonic energy. But he knew that every midnight, he would suffer from its attack! When the dem
Hua Qiyue was gasping. She shook herself free of Yun Shimo's hand and her eyes were full of mounting anger. "He's already so poorly. So how can I not worry? Please get lost, Yun Shimo. It's none of your business!" Yun Shimo watched the exceptionally vexed Hua Qiyue and heaved a deep breath. "I will find him back." The moment Yun Shimo said this, Hua Zun also stepped out. "I will go too." He was afraid Yun Shimo would try some wicked scheme on Tianpi. Tianci pulled Hua Qiyue's hand. "Mom, I'd like to find Grandmaster too." "Be good, Tianci. We will stay here. In a moment, dad will bring your Grandmaster back." Yun Shimo glanced at Hua Qiyue and then departed Ice Palace with Hua Zun. Watching them disappear in an instant, Hua Qiyue's heart was disconcerted. Tianpi had left because he did not wish to harm her. But she was, after all, indebted to him for her reborn life. So how could she ju
Hua Qiyue frowned and said, very displeased, "Do you guys have the habit of voyeurism?" Tianpi gave a light snort. "I merely can't stand you two. Since you won't accept another man, you might as well be with him." Hua Qiyue's emotions were suddenly stirred. "Who says I can't accept another man?" "You can? If you can, why treat Hua Zun so coldly? Why reject the others so completely?" Tianpi flatly curved up the corners of his lips. "Because I owe you too much in your former life, I won't force you now. I will respect whoever you choose. But you don't need to mind the past so much." Mind? Hua Qiyue's face sank. In Tianyuan Continent, women regarded their chastity as more important than their lives. Could Tianpi's mere words make her forgive the past? Tianpi started to wave his fan coquettishly. Hua Qiyue cursed him as a nutcase. The weather was so cold and yet he was playing with her Drunken Flower Fan!
