359: Chapter 359 Yin-Yang Twin Springs, Innate Sacred Flower

"Empress? When did Mei Niang become his Empress?"

"Senior Sister Liu, I've established a dynasty in the Black-Corner Region. You can come to me if you need anything in the future!"

Hun Tiandi smiled. He was puzzled in his heart but didn't ask.

Hearing this, Senior Sister Liu Hanbing's delicate body trembled. Her heart felt like cold ashes, blood leaked from the corner of her mouth, and the injuries within her body flared up.

Swish...

Just then, three figures swept in from the deep forest; it was Liu Ling, Yan Xing, and Tu Xingzi, arriving travel-worn.

They immediately noticed that the atmosphere on the scene was somewhat strange.

"Your subjects Liu Ling, Yan Xing, and Tu Xingzi pay their respects to Your Majesty!" The three of them bowed respectfully.

"Rise. Liu Ling, come and check Senior Sister Liu's injuries!" Hun Tiandi called out, concerned about Senior Sister Liu's condition.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Ling stepped forward, placed his hand on her wrist, and a wisp of Fighting Qi invaded her body, flowing through her meridians.

All the injuries inside Senior Sister Liu Hanbing's body were fed back into his mind.

Liu Ling's expression was somewhat grim; these injuries were not light!

"Your Majesty, Miss Liu's injuries are quite severe, but she can be saved!" Liu Ling said respectfully.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, then arranged for Liu Ling to refine medicine to treat Senior Sister Liu Hanbing and Mei Niang, while Yan Xing and Tu Xingzi guarded the perimeter.

As they began to get busy, Hun Tiandi's face suddenly darkened, and his gaze shifted toward the mountain forest, as if someone were there.

Hun Tiandi arranged everything and walked toward the deep forest.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he saw a figure. It was the Blood Shadow Clone returning with information.

"Original Body, there is news of the sacred flower..." the Blood Shadow Clone whispered.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi made arrangements and rushed toward the location of the sacred flower according to the information provided by the Blood Shadow Clone.

The Blood Shadow Clone's figure swayed, a bloody light flashed on its body, and it transformed into a green robe to wear as it headed toward the place where Mei Niang and the others were healing.

Seeing Hun Tiandi return, everyone was still busy.

This "replacing the prince with a leopard cat" trick temporarily diverted everyone's attention.

Chi...

In the deep forest, faint silver light flickered on Hun Tiandi's feet as he sped toward the depths at high speed. The sacred flower was related to that plan; this rare treasure could not fall into anyone else's hands.

Atop the Dragon Burial Mountain, a crowd had gathered. Powerhouses from various factions, including Mu Qingluan, Miss Xiao Yuer, and Elder Mo Yun, were in a standoff.

Before them was a valley with many medicinal herbs growing on both sides, along with numerous majestic and vigorous trees whose fallen leaves covered the ground.

Deep in the valley was a pond about a hundred zhang in size, where three flawless white flowers, as transparent as crystal, were growing.

These were divine flowers that had only existed in ancient times.

A top-tier natural treasure that could easily rank in the top ten on the Fighting Qi Continent and was even rarer than Heavenly Flames: the innate sacred flower!

If it weren't for the fact that the innate sacred flower was only effective for the scaled tribes, its ranking would definitely be much higher than the top ten.

Entering the top five wouldn't be an issue either.

Hun Tiandi had only learned about the existence of the innate sacred flower from fragmented records in the Hun Clan's ancient texts.

Earlier, when entering the True Dragon Tomb, he had heard Yao Feiyu mention the existence of the innate sacred flower.

Miss Xiao Yuer had led many experts into the East Sea Ruins precisely to search for traces of the sacred flower.

The innate sacred flower was extremely difficult to propagate, taking a thousand years just to produce one. The three white sacred flowers before them were likely at least a thousand years old.

"Jie jie jie!" Hun Tiandi laughed oddly, concealing his aura as he moved toward the valley.

"Everyone, if you can yield these three white flowers to this sect master, consider it a favor owed by my Xiao Family!"

For the sake of the innate sacred flower, Miss Xiao Yuer did not hesitate to offer such generous terms.

It was because the sacred flower was crucial to Xiao Xiao's injuries and absolutely could not be lost.

"A favor from the Xiao Family?" Elder Mo Yun said with some surprise. One must know that the Xiao Family was a top-tier power on the continent; for them to owe a favor was proof enough of how precious these white flowers were.

"I wonder if Dou Zong Xiao can tell us the origin of this item?" Tang Junyao inquired.

"Hmm? This item is a sacred flower. It only works on scaled magical beasts and provides no help to humans at all!"

Seeing Tang Junyao's inquiry, Miss Xiao Yuer replied coldly.

"Scaled magical beasts? That means for snakes, dragons..." Mu Qingluan whispered, her interest in the sacred flower decreasing significantly.

"If the Xiao Family is willing to owe a favor, we are naturally willing to yield the sacred flower!"

Elder Mo Yun smiled.

This flower was helpful to scaled magical beasts; even if they seized it, they would only be offending the Xiao Family. It was better to be practical and exchange it for a favor from the Xiao Family.

This would leave a lot of room for maneuvering in the future.

"Jie jie jie, what a grand gesture from the Xiao Family." Hun Tiandi sneered, hiding in the valley as he heard Miss Xiao Yuer's generosity.

After the establishment of the Dazheng Dynasty, he had secretly sent people to gather information on Miss Xiao Yuer, and she was indeed a member of the Xiao Family.

With a thought, he circulated the Blood Scripture, his figure becoming illusory as he sank toward the valley.

"I didn't expect that the pond water where the innate sacred flower lives is actually the Yin-Yang Twin Springs. This spring water contains the power of Yin and Yang, with extreme Yin and extreme Yang giving rise to endless creation, which is the only way to nourish the innate sacred flower!"

Hun Tiandi followed the cracks in the earth's veins toward the depths of the valley.

Whether it was the Yin-Yang Twin Springs or the innate sacred flower, he would never let Miss Xiao Yuer take them away. His mind settled.

Half an hour later, he finally reached the bottom of the hundred-zhang pond. What Hun Tiandi intended to do was pack it all up and take it away.

"Thank you, everyone!" Miss Xiao Yuer let out a soft sigh of relief; she was finally about to succeed.

"Let's begin!" Hun Tiandi said coldly. With a thought, the God Refining Art circulated within his sea of consciousness, and a vast soul power surged forth.

He enveloped the hundred-zhang Yin-Yang Twin Springs. This was his first time using his soul power at full strength, and Hun Tiandi felt immense pressure.

As his soul power was released, fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

He smiled bitterly in his heart. If not for his Soul Weapon Art previously advancing to the third stage, reaching the perfection of the Mortal Realm soul, taking away these Yin-Yang Twin Springs and the sacred flower...

...would have been absolutely impossible.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, just as Miss Xiao Yuer was preparing to pluck the sacred flower, Hun Tiandi's soul power completely enveloped it.

Crack!

In the next instant, a cracking sound came from the bottom and surroundings of the hundred-zhang pond. This rumbling sound immediately caught the attention of the various factions.

Sharp gazes all turned toward the pond.

The Yin-Yang Twin Springs surged with waves, and the three white sacred flowers swayed. This anomalous scene left everyone present dumbfounded.

"What's going on?" Miss Xiao Yuer exclaimed in shock and anger. With a wave of her hand, Yao Feiyu and the others behind her swept out in all directions, their thick Fighting Qi surging and intertwining.

They vaguely sealed off the surrounding space. Miss Xiao Yuer's hair danced in the air, and a cold aura circulated around her entire body.

"Who is it? Get out here for this sect master!"

Who would have the audacity to offend the Xiao Family?

At this moment, the surroundings were silent, and no one answered. Mu Qingluan scanned the area, looking at everyone's shocked expressions.

She wondered in her heart; it shouldn't have been any of them.

In the deep forest.

Liu Ling finished refining the pill and gave it to Senior Sister Liu Hanbing to take, beginning to heal her injuries. The journey back to the Central Plains would not be very peaceful either.

Jian Wuchen had created an opportunity for him to leave, and the treasures required by the Pavilion Master also had to be brought back.

However, a sour feeling rose in Senior Sister Liu Hanbing's heart; Junior Brother Yun already had a wife.

This... ill-fated relationship!

She forcibly suppressed the restlessness in her heart and refined the pill's power to heal her injuries.

At the same time, Liu Ling also refined medicine to treat Mei Niang's injuries, keeping himself busy. Fortunately, as a seventh-tier high-grade Alchemist, he remained organized despite the bustle.

Handling these matters was effortless for him.

Previously, His Majesty had ordered the refining of a body-tempering medicinal liquid for Qing Yue to strengthen her physical body. Having previously devoured two Flood Dragon, the Fighting Qi in her body had surged, making it difficult for her body to bear the load.

It had almost collapsed.
