52: Demon Emperor Dog Meat

“Trying to leave?”

Wu Ning swapped the Tai'a Emperor Sword for the Immortal Artifact Dragon Fishing Rod and flashed after him.

This old fellow was not weak, and he had no habit of letting a tiger return to the mountains.

“Fellow Daoist, do not pursue a cornered foe!”

Yan Qi hurriedly shouted.

“Why?”

Wu Ning paused and stopped.

Yan Qi sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist, the Yao Race’s foundation is not weak. We cannot push them too hard, or if we provoke a counterattack from the Yao Race, I’m afraid the entire continent will suffer immense casualties…”

Currently, on the Tianxuan Continent, the Human Race was dominant, occupying the most fertile and vast territories.

However, the Yao Race of the Demon Domain, the Barbarian Race from the extreme south, the Ice and Snow Race from the extreme north, and the Dragon Clan from the sea all eyed the human territories covetously.

If the Human Race and the Yao Race were to engage in a great war, the other foreign races would certainly not stand idly by.

Although these Emperors were not afraid, they also did not wish to see the entire continent plunged into chaos and suffering.

Wu Ning frowned slightly.

Just thinking about the various races on the entire continent fighting, with war and corpses everywhere, made him feel troubled.

How good it was to have peace now.

It was just a twelfth-tier Yao Beast; it actually posed no threat to him.

“Forget it, I’ll spare his life for now.”

Wu Ning nodded. He still had to help Yan Qi solve the trouble in Yanmo Abyss first.

This matter started because of him, and he was not an irresponsible person.

Wu Ning originally wanted to use the chaos divine gourd to directly drain the Flame Tide, but that would likely destroy the entire Yanmo Abyss, and Yan Qi would probably fight him to the death.

Since he had already taken the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame, it was not good to go too far.

Although Yanmo Abyss was dangerous, for the Great Yan Empire as a whole, its benefits far outweighed its drawbacks.

In the end, he could only use Yan Qi’s clumsy method: temporarily Seal the entire Yanmo Abyss and wait for the Flame Tide to recede.

After confirming the safety of Li Yuanbao, the three individuals, and the bird, he and Yan Qi worked together to stabilize the barrier.

This Flame Tide lasted a full day before ending, and all the Flame Demons quieted down, returning to the Yanmo Abyss.

All the powerhouses of the Great Yan Empire breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Qi wanted to invite Wu Ning to be a guest in the Great Yan Imperial Capital, but Wu Ning was still thinking about forging an Emperor-grade flying boat, so he declined.

“Elder Brother Yan, if there’s an opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to bother you.”

“Haha, then I will await Fellow Daoist’s arrival at any time!”

Yan Qi laughed heartily.

Afterward, Wu Ning took Li Yuanbao and the other two back to Wanxiang Academy in the Eastern Domain.

As soon as they arrived at Wanxiang Academy, Li Qingxuan came to greet them.

“Senior…”

“Fellow Daoist Li, you should still call me Fellow Daoist like before.” Wu Ning waved his hand and said with a smile.

“Don’t call me Senior, am I that old?”

Li Qingxuan smiled bitterly, “So Fellow Daoist is actually an Emperor. No wonder I lost so badly that day.”

“To be defeated by an Emperor, my loss was not unjust.”

“…”

Wu Ning was silent for a moment, still refraining from saying anything more to strike him down.

Otherwise, this guy would probably go into seclusion again.

“Let’s go, we can talk inside.”

Not long after.

Inside the backyard manor.

Wu Ning directly used a Supreme Artifact as a cauldron and the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame as fire, bubbling and stewing a large pot of Yao Emperor dog meat. Steam rose, and the aroma of meat was rich.

As the saying goes, when you smell dog meat, even immortals jump over walls.

The enticing aroma of dog meat permeated the entire backyard, and many old monsters came upon hearing the news, shamelessly looking at Wu Ning.

“Senior…”

“Ten catties of dog meat for ten thousand Spirit Crystals. No freebies.”

Several old monsters didn’t even think twice, directly pulling out piles of Spirit Crystals.

“Senior, I want a hundred catties!”

“Senior, I want two hundred catties!”

“I want five hundred catties!”

“…”

Several old monsters spoke up one after another.

This was twelfth-tier Yao Emperor dog meat, comparable to any Spirit Pill or Immortal Pill. Ten catties for only ten thousand Spirit Crystals was definitely not a loss!

Wu Ning happily accepted the Spirit Crystals. Even a small mosquito is still meat, and he currently didn’t even have a single Spirit Crystal on him.

It was just some dog meat; such a large Heavenly Dog, what he sold them was merely a drop in the ocean.

Putting away the dog meat, several old monsters left contentedly.

Li Qingxuan handed Wu Ning a Storage Ring, “Fellow Daoist, I want five thousand catties!”

Wu Ning’s eyes lit up. As expected of a Quasi-Emperor, he was generous with his Take action.

He waved his hand, “Fifty million Spirit Crystals, eat as much as you want.”

“Haha, then I won’t be polite! Coincidentally, I have several jars of precious wine aged for tens of thousands of years here, which I’ve always been reluctant to drink. It seems they were waiting for today.”

Li Yuanbao and the other two also came over, but their cultivation was too low to even eat the meat, so they could only drink the soup, at most a little bit of meat residue.

The Green Bird’s cultivation was slightly stronger, barely eating two catties of meat.

Wu Ning and Li Qingxuan feasted, drinking wine and eating meat, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

“Hahaha, what joy!”

“As expected of Yao Emperor dog meat, the abundant essence Qi is indeed extraordinary!”

Li Qingxuan was radiant. After consuming several thousand catties of dog meat, a continuous flood of essence Qi filled his body, making him feel incredibly comfortable, as if he had eaten an Immortal Pill.

With this meal of dog meat today, he would definitely be able to Break through to the Peak Quasi-Emperor realm!

A flush also appeared on Wu Ning’s face. Li Qingxuan’s tens of thousands of years old spiritual wine was indeed potent, the best wine he had ever drunk so far.

“Again, let’s keep drinking.”

Two hours later, Li Qingxuan felt he was about to Break through and hurriedly excused himself.

Wu Ning’s interest immediately dropped by more than half when he was alone.

He had eaten less than one ten-thousandth of the twelfth-tier Heavenly Dog, so Wu Ning put the rest away.

Afterward, he began to forge his Emperor-grade flying boat.

For this, he even used three hundred catties of Heavenly Dog meat to specifically consult a Venerable-grade Artifact Refiner from Wanxiang Academy.

Wu Ning possessed the strength of an Emperor, controlled divine fire like the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame, and was proficient in the Dao of talismans, so his Artifact Refining skill improved rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

Wanxiang Academy, Artifact Peak.

Many students hurried towards Artifact Peak.

A golden-haired youth stopped someone and asked, “Where are you all going?”

That person was about to get angry, but after seeing who stopped him, his expression immediately became respectful, “So it’s Senior Brother Wang Yi. We are going to Artifact Peak. I heard that a great figure will be refining an Artifact today.”

“A great figure, how great?”

“This… I estimate at least a Saint King.”

“Alright, you can go.”

Disdain flashed in the youth’s eyes. A Saint King was indeed a great figure to ordinary people, but to him, it was nothing special.

“Artifact Refining, hehe…”

The youth chuckled and walked towards Artifact Peak. He wanted to see how the Artifact Refining level of Artifact Peak compared to their Wang family.

At this moment, the square around Artifact Peak was already surrounded by people, including many high-ranking officials from the Academy.

Wu Ning sat cross-legged on a high platform, examining a flying boat model.

This was no ordinary model, but a Supreme Artifact!

This was the most satisfying model he had created so far. Not only was its appearance beautiful, but it also integrated various functions, even incorporating some inspirations from his previous world.

At this moment, Wang Yi also arrived at the Artifact Peak square. He glanced at Wu Ning on the high platform and frowned slightly, “So young, how high can his Artifact Refining skill be? Yet he’s making such a big show.”

“Could it be a Disciple of some great figure on Artifact Peak?”
