257: Clash with Xu Juanmei

The Sacred Alliance Assembly came to an end.

The brilliant achievement of the current Hehuan Sacred Sect Saint and Saintess joining forces to defeat the Demon Sword Sect's demoness and the Soul Devouring Demon Sect's Young Sect Master spread far and wide throughout the Southern Region.

After this battle, the Demon Sword Sect and the Soul Devouring Demon Sect no longer had any objections and decided to follow the lead of the Hehuan Sacred Sect.

In this way, with the three major Eternal Powers as the core, along with more than ten other large-scale forces, the initial prototype of the Holy Alliance was formed. It gathered almost all the power of the Southern Region, a force so great that even the Heavenly Court would have to consider it carefully.

Over the next period of time.

The Sect Masters of various Sects chose to stay temporarily at the Hehuan Sacred Sect to finalize matters regarding the Holy Alliance.

As for whether anyone harbored ulterior motives, that was yet to be known.

In any case, the situation was currently developing in a positive direction... The feeling of fatigue in his brain gradually faded.

Su Quan slowly opened his eyes to a slit, but the piercing light made him instinctively close them again. It took a long time for him to adapt before he could fully open them.

What met his eyes was a pale pink canopy with flowing cloud patterns.

A clean and tidy Golden Divine Silkworm Cooling Quilt was draped quietly over his body.

"Mm—"

He intentionally let out a soft groan to attract the attention of those outside.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Su Quan immediately sat up, his face showing panic as he began to check his clothes. Looking at the woman who burst in, he said coldly, "Xu Juanmei, what did you do to me? Why... why am I lying here!"

Seeing this, Xu Juanmei was not angry; instead, a look of joy appeared at the corners of her mouth. Her expression became solemn, and she said calmly, "Xiao Quan, for some time now, I've felt that your prejudice against me is a bit too deep!"

"I admit I have feelings of admiration for you, but I, Xu Juanmei, am not the kind of woman who takes advantage of others in their time of need!"

"Earlier, your energy was over-exhausted and you fell into a coma, so I brought you to my cultivation grounds to take care of you!"

Hearing the woman's words, the vigilance and defensiveness on Su Quan's face gradually dissipated. He tightened his collar, lowered his eyelids slightly, and said softly, "Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Juanmei's smile grew even more radiant.

"The two of us are the future hope of the Holy Sect; we should be as close as siblings. There's no need for thanks!"

"And speaking of which, I should represent the Sect in thanking you for your contribution!"

"If you hadn't been willing to join forces with me to perform the Combined Technique, it would have been quite difficult for me to fight alone. Because of this battle, our Sect gained twenty percent more resources!"

Just then, Cui Shennian walked in with a dark face, carrying a bowl of medicinal soup that wafted with a medicinal fragrance.

Xu Juanmei took it smoothly and sat down beside Su Quan. She scooped up a spoonful, brought it to her lips, blew on it carefully, and then handed it over with a face full of tenderness. "Come, Xiao Quan, drink the medicine quickly!"

"You exhausted too much energy in that battle. This is the Ten-Thousand-Year Red Polar Dragon Yang Grass, a great tonic!"

Standing nearby, Cui Shennian was so jealous he felt like he was about to undergo cellular separation.

He had been coveting that precious herb for a long time. It was said that it could not only nourish Yin and Yang but also had the miraculous effect of strengthening one's Dragon Source. Yet, it was so easily entering the stomach of this little bitch.

Su Quan, on the bed, did not drink it immediately but instead stared fixedly at Xu Juanmei.

Meeting the young man's clean and clear eyes, even a master of men like Xu Juanmei couldn't help but feel her cheeks burn slightly, feeling inferior.

Pfft—

The boy suddenly smiled, his peerless countenance like a hundred flowers in bloom, or like the brilliant galaxy in the night sky.

"Silly, I am a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a super expert who has achieved Sanctity of the Physical Body. How could I be afraid of a little heat!"

Xu Juanmei was utterly stunned by his beauty.

For a moment, she even forgot to breathe; her heart skipped a beat, and her Divine Soul trembled.

For a split second, she even wanted to give up her subsequent plans with Cui Shennian because she didn't want this wonderful person before her to suffer even a hint of grievance.

Subsequently, under the gaze of the two, Su Quan drank the bowl of precious medicine in one gulp. The rich energy essence spread through his body. He only felt his body become slightly hot, and the dragon body below showed signs of rising. The fatigue of the past few days was swept away, giving him the heroic spirit to fight another three to five hundred rounds.

What powerful medicinal effects!

He marveled inwardly.

One must know that he possessed the Immaculate Immortal Body, and ordinary precious medicines had no effect on him at all. To be able to produce such a strong reaction in him showed how precious the price of the Red Polar Dragon Yang Grass was.

It seemed this woman had spent a fortune just to have him.

"Xiao Quan, how does your body feel?" Xu Juanmei's beautiful eyes were fervent as she asked softly, looking at the young man's slightly flushed, jade-like face.

Meanwhile, the corner of her eye was constantly stealing glances at the exaggerated curve naturally protruding from the lower part of the boy's body. It made her throat feel dry, and she could only swallow hard to relieve it.

As expected, a truly top-tier beautiful youth should be flawless; his physique looked much more powerful than Cui Shennian's.

"Um... thank you, Saintess, I feel much better!"

Su Quan hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "How much is this bowl of medicine worth? I have never liked owing people favors; I will pay you back!"

Xu Juanmei looked at the young man with increasing appreciation.

She had associated with countless male immortals, and they all had one common trait: they took receiving gifts and favors for granted, only knowing how to take, even going so far as to sell their bodies for treasures.

But a male immortal like Su Quan, who knew to pay back, was truly a first. He was as precious as a white lotus growing out of the mud, making one want to pamper him.

Xu Juanmei hadn't thought about this aspect, but after the boy mentioned it, her eyes flickered with a hint of cunning. She said, "As for the value, I'm a bit worried Xiao Quan won't be able to afford it, because it costs thirty thousand Chaos Immortal Crystals!"

"So expensive!!!"

Su Quan's lips parted slightly in shock.

Even Cui Shennian, who was nearby, was startled. He knew this thing was precious, but he didn't expect it to be so ridiculously expensive—it was almost equivalent to the entire net worth of an ordinary Immortal Lord.

At this thought, his hatred for Su Quan deepened.

He immediately took the emptied bowl and rushed out the door, wanting to rinse it with spiritual water to see if he could taste any residual medicinal power.

"It's alright, as long as it's used on Xiao Quan, any price is worth it!" Xu Juanmei's beautiful eyes were so charming they could almost drip water.

Su Quan hesitated slightly, then took a purple-gold jade sword out of his Spatial Ring. Holding it to his chest as if he had made a great decision, he said, "Saintess, I... I can't produce that many immortal crystals for now. This Dharma Sword is my life-bound treasure, nurtured for many years since I was young. It should be worth some money. Take it, and I'll find a way to make up the rest later!"

Of course, these were just polite words.

The origin of this Dharma Sword was from when he first entered the Immortal Realm and was caught to mine for the Lin family; he had found it in the Spatial Ring of the deceased Lin Family Old Ancestor.

Its value was average, but it could still be worth a few thousand hunyuan immortal crystals...
