Section 152

Xia Feng raised his hand and called out.

Suddenly, a cute little head poked out, looking at Xia Feng in confusion.

"You've been working hard lately, take a look at these three people." Xia Feng smiled and stroked its snake head, "After the Emperor Blood is completely drained, you can swallow these three people."

Little Nine flicked its tongue in response, then drilled out from Xia Feng's sleeve, found a comfortable spot in the corner behind the three people, and fell soundly asleep.

"Is this okay now?"

Xia Feng smiled at the two young captains.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Imperial Son."

Pan Junxi nodded repeatedly. With this strange beast guarding them, their pressure would also be much smaller.

Don't look at how cute Little Nine is now, but they saw the battle between that giant creature and Fire Fox above Ling City before.

This kind of strange beast, comparable to an Earth Rank Martial Emperor, is definitely a top-tier fierce creature. Dealing with three Martial Emperors whose cultivation has been restrained is completely trivial.

Chapter 185: Refining Wash Marrow Pill and Emperor Blood Pill

The great battle concluded. Nichao Empire, which had gathered a hundred thousand armored soldiers and three Earth Rank Martial Emperors this time, returned in utter defeat.

Of the hundred thousand armored soldiers, less than ten thousand remained after being charged. The three Earth Rank Martial Emperors were captured by Xia Feng like pigs and dogs.

This battle enraged the court of Nichao Empire, who directly declared that Great Xia Empire wanted to wage a war of national annihilation, having actually dispatched high-level Martial Emperors to ambush in Ling City, demanding them to hand over Xia Feng, the instigator of this battle.

Those were a full five Earth Rank Martial Emperors, which pained Nichao Empire even more than the ten Huang Realm Martial Emperors who had died before.

And the response from Great Xia Empire was quite cold. Besides stating that it was absolutely impossible to hand over Xia Feng, they also coldly stated that if Nichao Empire made any rash moves, Great Xia Empire would directly attack the Imperial Capital of Nichao.

He, Summer Bright, wanted to see whether it would be your Nichao Empire that perished, or my Great Xia Empire!

Such a strong reply naturally caused the relationship between the two countries to be in a state of life-and-death conflict.

The two countries immediately activated the highest state of war, and food, military supplies, and troops were continuously gathered at the borders of the two countries.

The air at the border was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and a great war was on the verge of breaking out!

After the great battle in Ling City ended, Xia Feng immediately went to the side of Ten Girls to check their injuries.

Seeing that his beautiful and charming wives, as lovely as flowers and jade, were all seriously injured, he was also furious and wished he could return to the city wall and severely whip the Martial Emperors of Nichao Empire again.

Fortunately, the cultivation of Ten Girls themselves was not low. Coupled with Sun Yazhu's pills and the life energy of Holy Maiden Xiao Qingxue, the speed of injury recovery was quite fast.

After this great battle ended, Sun Yazhu directly took the Purple Golden Cauldron into her room for secluded cultivation. She had already gained some insights, and it seemed there was only a thin line separating her from truly refining the Purple Golden Cauldron.

The Wash Marrow Fruit brought back by Xia Feng and Five Women was also requested by her. As long as the Purple Golden Cauldron was completely refined, she could immediately begin refining the Wash Marrow Pill that Xia Feng needed.

More than half of the armored soldiers in the Battle of Ling City were killed or injured. In the afternoon, Xia Feng and General Gu Sha Chen Hongfei began arranging for the care of the wounded, tallying the roster, and distributing pensions.

The deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers defended the first city to the east of Great Xia Empire, and also defended the face of Great Xia Empire.

The remaining soldiers dug pits in groups, burying their comrades underground, giving these warriors who died for their country a final resting place.

Dealing with the pensions for tens of thousands of people, Xia Feng did not rest for a day and a night. He continuously wrote military reports, asking the Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperor to supervise the Ministry of Revenue to ensure the pensions were distributed to the soldiers' homes.

On the night of the second day, a purple light from Ling City pierced through the clouds.

A cute figure excitedly rushed out of the room. Sun Yazhu immediately found Xia Feng, then extended her arms, jumped onto him, wrapped her arms around Xia Feng's neck, and said happily.

"Husband, it's done! I have completely refined the Purple Golden Cauldron!"

Hearing this news, Xia Feng was also very happy. He couldn't help but reach out and rub Sun Yazhu's head.

"With this Purple Golden Cauldron, even an Earth Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor probably wouldn't be able to harm you in the future. When your Realm rises, you might be able to fight Heaven Rank with Earth Rank." Xia Feng smiled.

"Not only that, I can also refine higher-level pills!" Sun Yazhu stuck out her little tongue, "I'll go to the city wall in a bit to get their Emperor Blood, and refine the Wash Marrow Pill for Husband tonight!"

"Does the refinement of Wash Marrow Pill require Emperor Blood?"

"Yes."

Xia Feng was stunned upon hearing this. He looked at Sun Yazhu, his expression a little strange.

"Then... before these three Martial Emperors attacked the city, I went to the Great Barren Mountain Range to get the Wash Marrow Fruit. How would you refine it?"

"Using my blood." Sun Yazhu said straightforwardly.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Feng was instantly stunned.

"Using your blood?"

Xia Feng looked at the small Sun Yazhu, feeling as if something in his heart had shattered, and bitter water flowed out.

Emperor Blood is the essence of a Martial Emperor. Losing too much Emperor Blood will result in weakness for several months at best, and regression in cultivation that takes a long time to recover at worst.

But Sun Yazhu's initial plan was actually to use her own blood to refine the Wash Marrow Pill for Xia Feng.

In her eyes, everything about Xia Feng was the most important, while she didn't consider herself at all.

"Silly girl."

A tear glinted in Xia Feng's eyes, and then he tightly held the lovely person in front of him in his arms.

Feeling Xia Feng's broad chest, Sun Yazhu also sighed softly, and then tightly hugged Xia Feng back.

"Don't have such thoughts in the future. Do you know that in my heart, you are also more precious than life itself?"

Xia Feng lowered his head and whispered softly.

Sun Yazhu lowered her head, her eyes full of affection and emotion.

The decision she made was truly worth everything.

"Mm, Husband, it won't happen next time."

In the night, the two embraced, and then melted into each other.

...

Early the next morning, Sun Yazhu obtained enough Martial Emperor essence blood from the Pan brothers.

It was not only enough for her to refine the Wash Marrow Pill, but there was even a large reserve that could be used to refine other pills.

Sun Yazhu left happily with this essence blood and entered her room again to begin secluded cultivation for refining pills.

All the necessary Materials were gathered. She wanted to refine the Wash Marrow Pill as quickly as possible to let Xia Feng's talent be further sublimated.

After all, Xia Feng had complained to them more than once that the cultivation speed of top-grade talent was really too slow in the Martial Emperor Realm.

Refining pills takes some time.

At this time, both countries were continuously deploying troops at the Empire's borders.

Xia Feng, who had won the battle, did not take it lightly. He knew that he had completely enraged the Azure Emperor of Nichao Empire.

The last time they dispatched three Earth Rank Martial Emperors, they were defeated. Perhaps next time, Xia Feng would have to face the Heaven Rank Martial Emperors of Nichao Empire.

In any case, improving his own strength was the most important thing.

Therefore, after finishing the main tasks, Xia Feng began to continue cultivating during the subsequent midnight hours, bringing Ten Girls and his parents and Grandpa in the Imperial Capital.

After fifty thousand years, Summer Bright was still stuck at Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor, but Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian made pleasing progress. The two cultivated day and night and finally broke through to the Half-Emperor Realm, just one step away from becoming true Martial Emperor powerhouses.

As for the Ten Girls with outstanding talent, except for Sun Yazhu, the remaining Nine Girls all broke through to Earth Rank First Level Martial Emperor, their strength once again making a qualitative leap.

Five days passed. Sun Yazhu, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, pushed the door open, handed Xia Feng a jade-green pill, and then took out a small bottle containing a red pill.

"The green one is the Wash Marrow Pill. After Husband eats it, he can improve his talent. That red pill is called Emperor Blood Pill, which I refined using the remaining Martial Emperor essence blood."

Sun Yazhu rubbed her small eyes and said with a hint of weariness, "The Emperor Blood Pill can enhance the cultivation of strange beasts after they consume it. It is the favorite spiritual pill of ancient beast tamers, but the refining difficulty is not low. I could only refine it after mastering the Purple Golden Cauldron."

Chapter 186: Taking the Wash Marrow Pill, Talent Unparalleled

The little snake in Xia Feng's sleeve was like a hungry person smelling roasted chicken. It immediately drilled out from Xia Feng's sleeve and greedily looked at the red pill on Xia Feng's bottle.

But Xia Feng didn't move, so it didn't dare to take it rashly. It could only turn its head and look at him pitifully.

Xia Feng glanced at it, then twisted open the bottle cap, poured out the Emperor Blood Pill inside, and then handed it to the Double-Headed Heaven Swallowing Python.

"You also contributed a lot in the previous great battle. You should be rewarded, eat it."

The Double-Headed Heaven Swallowing Python raised its head and let out a joyful hiss, then its two snake heads divided the red pill in half and swallowed them into their bellies respectively.

After the Emperor Blood Pill entered the body of the Double-Headed Heaven Swallowing Python, Nine Evils' two little heads suddenly became one high and one low, and they became drowsy.

"The Emperor Blood Pill provides too much essence. I'm afraid they need to sleep for a while to absorb it."

Seeing this, Sun Yazhu propped her cheek with her hand and analyzed.

Xia Feng nodded, then placed the Devouring Heaven Two-Headed Serpent on the small table in the room, letting it slowly fall asleep.

"You've worked hard, go and rest quickly."

Xia Feng looked at Sun Yazhu, who was also drowsy, and felt a sudden pang of heartache for no reason.

He knew that during this time, Sun Yazhu must have been extremely focused, refining without sleep for five days to produce these two pills.

"I'll sleep here with you."

Sun Yazhu walked directly to Xia Feng's bed, and without taking off her clothes, she threw herself straight onto the pillow and fell into a deep sleep within a short while.

Xia Feng walked up, covered Sun Yazhu with a golden silk quilt, gently removed her outer clothing, and then carefully closed the door.
