Chapter 30: Subduing the Demon King
Jiang Nan's memory of the last time he took a Golden Lotus petal was still fresh, at that time, when he took a petal, the huge medicinal power that erupted in an instant almost set his clothes on fire, exploding the hundred thousand and eighty thousand pores all over his body, and his blood spewed out as a bloody mist along his pores!
If the medicinal power that erupted exceeded what his body could withstand, Jiang Nan would definitely be burned and bloated alive, exploding his body and incinerating into ashes!
"The Shelly Spirit Pill is not that easy to eat, now that my true qi is depleted, it's better to return to my cultivation first, and with my true qi suppressing the medicinal power, it will reduce the danger by a few points."
Jiang Nan packed up the elixirs in the alchemy room, then left the alchemy room, when he walked outside, he only saw that the sky and the earth were dim and unknown, only the east was showing the white color of a fish's belly.
"Good fellow, the three Sherry Spirit Pills made me refine them for a whole night before they were finished!"
He hoofed it back to his residence, and without much rest, he immediately began to activate the Devil Prison Xuan Tire Scripture, using the solar energy contained in the rising sun to fill his cultivation.
It had to be said that depleting one's cultivation and then practicing from the beginning did help in the growth of one's cultivation, Jiang Nan only felt that the speed of his true qi operation had become a few more points faster than before, and that it was running more like a charm, and that as the time of cultivation went by, his cultivation was in the midst of rising.
Now that he had broken through the shackles of body refining, he had opened all the bone membranes and achieved the realm of qi refining, only because he had just cultivated this realm, it was still a bit unstable.
Now that he came back to cultivate after alchemy, it was equivalent to reinforcing the unstable realm.
"Sister Jiang Xue's saying that cultivation is like alchemy is really good."
Jiang Nan sighed with emotion in his heart, with every step forward in his cultivation, he gained one more point of understanding of this saying, cultivation was like refining pills, one needed to be careful at all times, to drive out every bit of impurities in the body, to make one's true qi, body, and essence pure as one, and then treat the true qi, body, and essence as if they were medicinal power fused back to one, so that one would be like a ten percent elixir, crystalline, and perfect!
"I wonder if Sister Jiang Xue went out to look for spiritual medicine and found it yet?" Jiang Nan said in his heart.
Thousands of miles away in the Little Wave Gorge, a white-clothed woman spiritually stepped on the large river in the center of the deep valley on both banks, slowly treading on the waves, as if she was a fairy descending from the sky, her white clothes were snowy, light and agile, the rushing and surging river water began to become tamed when it came to her feet, and didn't make half a ripple.
Not long after, the left bank cliffs on an ancient strong pine tree into her eyes, this ancient pine from the cliffs out of the growth, lush, lush and exuberant, across the river in the sky, as a natural pontoon bridge.
And in the crown of the ancient pine there is a pine branch built bird's nest, bird's nest in a face of cross-flesh eagle-nosed middle-aged man is sitting down, gulping heaven and earth spiritual qi.
This middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, but the top of his head is bare, without a hair, non-monk non-dao, very strange.
Jiang Xue walked slowly, his steps getting higher and higher, stepping on the air as if he were walking on a flat surface, and walked straight towards that bird's nest.
The Taoist in the bird's nest snapped his eyes open, his gaze sharp as electricity, falling on this elf-like woman, suddenly opened his mouth, his voice sharp, like a lord or an eagle: "Recently I heard that there is a little wench traveling the great rivers, looting and scavenging the demon kings of the five lakes and all over the world for their collection of spiritual objects, that is, even the old lion of the Black Wind Valley was also ransacked by that little wench and was robbed of the Spirit Silence Flower, and this little wench thinks that it is the Miss!"
Jiang Xue stopped and stood quietly opposite the ancient pine bird's nest, looking at the Taoist in the bird's nest in a calm manner, and said blandly, "I'm not robbing, but taking. Divine Vulture Demon King, the Fire Spirit Fruit in your bird's nest is also a kind of spirit medicine I need, if you offer the Fire Spirit Fruit yourself, I'll accept a favor from you, and in the future, when I've made some achievements, I'll return something countless times better than the Fire Spirit Fruit to you, and if you don't, then I'll only have to take it myself."
The Taoist in that bird's nest was none other than the Divine Vulture Demon King, an eagle vulture perched in the Little Wave Gorge that had cultivated into a demon, and he let out a loud laugh at the words, sneering, "You big shot! This Fire Spirit Fruit is my life foundation, when I have not yet cultivated into a demon, muddle-headed, is to eat a Fire Spirit Fruit which opens the spirit of wisdom, cultivation to today's realm! You said that you will return something better to me when you have achieved something in the future, how can anyone believe in such a vague thing? Why don't you give me all the spirit medicines you snatched from me, and I'll give them back to you in the future when I've accomplished something!"
Jiang Xue was dumbfounded and shook her head, "What an eloquent little birdie, it's a pity that when I kindly promised you favors, you were stubborn and refused them yourself."
The Divine Vulture Demon King was furious, and suddenly stood up, pouncing towards Jiang Xue, crying out, "Demon cultivators such as myself, seizing the bells and whistles of heaven and earth to create, originally it is the strongest that is honored, and the winner is the king! If you are stronger than me, I will naturally hand over the Fire Spirit Fruit, if you do not beat me, don't go away and be my lady in distress!"
Jiang Xue stood still, oblivious to the Divine Vulture Demon King's pouncing momentum.
"Little bitch, your cultivation isn't good, you've only just refined the divine Wheel to cultivate the divine aptitude, whereas I've already opened the five divine Wheels of the powerful and refined the five divine aptitudes!"
The Divine Vulture Demon King lunged, and the great river steeply erected a wall of water with a whirring sound, reaching tens of feet high and pressing down on Jiang Xue!
Suddenly, above the water wall a water lotus flower bloomed, getting bigger and bigger, the water wall collapsed, crashing into the river, and that water lotus flower floating in the center of the river, not moving at all, and no river water washed away.
Divine Vulture Demon King saw that she easily broke his divine ability, hostile whistle, transformed into a huge vulture, wingspan dozens of feet, lifting his wings to fly, a pair of sharp claws cold light flashing, grabbing towards Jiang Xue!
Jiang Xue probed his hand, only to see an extra piece of carrion in his hand, the Divine Vulture Demon King's eyes lit up, not able to think carefully, probing his head, he pecked at the carrion in Jiang Xue's hand.
"Naughty."
Jiang Xue lightly laughed, a finger pointed at his brow, the Divine Vulture Demon King cried out, the bird's beak continuously coughed up blood, lifted his wings and walked away, angrily saying, "Little bitch, you beat me by trickery, I'm not convinced, I'll come back to look for you some other time to have a showdown!"
"Divine Vulture Demon King, you still don't need to go, be good and be my mount."
Jiang Xue hit him hard with a finger, took a lotus step, and stepped on the Divine Vulture Demon King's back in the next moment, the Divine Vulture Demon King was furious, his hostile whistles were unceasing, violently slamming his head against the cliff, surprisingly incomparably rigid, intending to crash to death on his own rather than be someone else's mount.
Boo!
Jiang Xue reached out and pointed, the cliff suddenly became incomparably soft, the divine vulture demon king crashed into it as if it had hit a huge block of tofu, and plunged into the rocks, unable to move.
This Divine Turtle struggled hard and was never able to get out of the trap, screaming in a shrill voice, "My lord, I am impressed by your great powers, let me out, I will bear you out!"
Jiang Xue pursed her lips and released him, smiling, "Don't worry Demon King, I'm only using you as a substitute for a while, after three years you will be free. However, you need to protect my brother's safety during these three years."
The Divine Vulture Demon King breathed a sigh of relief, secretly saying, "This woman is powerful, I'm not a match, good thing I only need to be a mount for three years, it's not particularly humiliating ......"
Jiang Xue slowly walked up the ancient pine, only to see that in the Divine Vulture Demon King's bird's nest, there was indeed a Fire Spirit Fruit growing, with only six or seven leaves, each bearing a red fruit, but the fruit on three of the leaves had already been eaten by the Divine Vulture Demon King.
The roots of this Fire Spirit Fruit were connected to the ancient pine, Jiang Xue uprooted the Fire Spirit Fruit, and saw the ancient pine dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally snapped off with a bang, falling into the river and being washed away by the river water.
"It's true that looting these demon kings is the fastest way to collect spirit medicines, just a few more spirit medicines are missing to refine into the Void Breaking Divine Pill I need ......"
Jiang Xue put away the Fire Spirit Fruit, her beautiful eyes blinking, looking around, softly said, "The next target, just who is good ......"
Pill King City in a gorgeous palace, a thirty-year-old handsome man is sitting down, condescending to look down on Mu Qin Nan and Lu Zhongxiang two people, his appearance vaguely similar to Su Huang has a few points, elegant temperament, obviously is a long time in the upper position, high position of power.
This person is the second prince of Jianwu Kingdom, Su Che, after a long journey to Pill King City.
Mu Qinnan and Lu Zhongxiang were trembling with fear and trembling, not daring to take a breath.
"Mu Qinnan, Lu Zhongxiang, has my fourth brother been at peace in the Pill King's Mansion recently?" Su Che pursed a mouthful of fragrant tea and faintly said.
Mu Qinnan boldly said, "Since the Fourth Prince came to the Pill King's Mansion, he has indeed been extremely peaceful, and has only been interacting closely with the children of some families. Also, the Fourth Prince has recently recruited a wide range of heroes, and even the Middle Earth relics from the Heaven's Condemned Land have been recruited by the Fourth Prince under his command. That person's name is Jiangnan, relying on the Fourth Prince to back him up, even the two of us were beaten ......"
"That is to say, Fourth Brother, he's a little less peaceful?"
Su Che faintly sneered, muttering to himself, "I knew he wouldn't be at peace, what with his frailty and staying away from fights, it's just a small scheme of wanting to get out of the way and seek his own development. Hehehe, fourth brother, I'm afraid you're also very keen on the throne, right?"
He glanced at the duo of Mu Qinnan and Lu Zhongxiang and said, "Since Fourth Brother is standing up for that Middle Earth relic, then I will stand up for you. Chief Steward Xiao, you go with them to find that Jiang Nan and beat him to death right there in the Pill King's mansion, so that everyone in Pill King City knows about this, and I'd like to see if Fourth Brother dares to stand up for him!"
Mu Qinnan and Lu Zhongxiang were overjoyed, and bowed with a brocade-robed old eunuch to exit the palace.
Another old eunuch under Su Che's seat's cloudy eyes flashed a stern color, and whispered, "Your Highness, this matter is only because these two people were beaten up severely, they are not opponents, and they don't dare to take revenge, and they want to borrow Your Highness's hand to deal with that person ......."
"I naturally know."
Su Che raised his hand to stop him from continuing, coldly smiled, "They want to borrow my hand to get rid of their enemy, how can this little scheme be hidden from me? But that Jiang Nan does need to be killed, without killing this person, how can we warn Old Four to keep him in peace? Besides, although Mu Qinnan and Lu Zhongxiang are both incompetent, the Mu Wangfu and Lu Houfu are two major forces that should not be underestimated, and now that I am taking the lead for the two of them, these two major families will be grateful to me for saving face for them. If I can gain the friendship of these two families, I will be one step closer to the position of the Crown Prince!"
That old eunuch was impressed, bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise, old slave is impressed."
Su Che smiled faintly and leisurely said, "Compared to Old Four and that Jiangnan, there are more important things for me to do on this trip. This time, Father Emperor is quiet and intends to come to Medicine King City, and ordered me to come and clear the palace first. Tian Bao, why do you think Father Emperor came to Pill King City this time for no reason?"
