17: Were they fleeced by the Empress? Golden Dragon Elephant

“This Evil Disciple...” Wu Feiyan's heart trembled as she watched the Evil Disciple collapse painfully onto the ground, his whole body bright red like a charcoal-roasted crab, and she quickly flew forward.

“It's so hot. How did this beast manage to attract the True Fire of the Sun...”

At this moment, Cao Meng's entire body seemed about to be melted by the True Fire of the Sun.

Amidst the pain, a cold, clear stream flowed throughout his body.

Cao Meng's heart stirred.

At the critical moment, it still had to be his Empress Revered Master who took action...

Outside Ganquan Palace, Qingluan stood quietly, a sharp sword hanging from her waist, waiting.

“What happened to Revered Master?”

“Is she too happy because she achieved a Breakthrough into the Saint Realm?”

Qingluan, dressed in a cyan immortal dress, stood facing the wind, her beautiful eyes filled with relief.

Since Uncle Bai was beaten back to his original form and forced into a dangerous situation, the status of the Wu Zhou lineage in White Deer Academy had become precarious.

If Revered Master could achieve a Breakthrough into the Saint Domain at this time, all problems would be solved easily.

“Huh, why is there also Junior Brother's voice... Revered Master trusts Junior Brother so much that she even allowed him to be her close Protector during her Breakthrough into the Saint Realm?”

Thinking of this, Qingluan suddenly laughed self-mockingly.

She had even fiercely confronted Revered Master for his sake before.

It turned out that Junior Brother had already gained Revered Master's approval long ago.

Had she made a fool of herself?

Time passed bit by bit, and the anomaly at Ganquan Palace had disappeared for a full day and night.

Under the guidance and direction of the Empress, the True Fire of the Sun that Cao Meng had drawn into his body was finally completely refined through Fusion.

Inside his Purple Mansion Dantian, his Golden Core had grown another size and turned purplish-gold.

And the dragon tiger golden elixir had completely vanished sometime earlier.

Cao Meng slowly opened his eyes.

He saw that on the Dragon Bed several yards away, the Empress was draped in a gilded gauze dress, sitting cross-legged with a solemn and majestic appearance.

She, who was already blessed with divine skin and jade bones, now radiated layers of fluorescent light, and faintly, a phantom image of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Dharma Image flickered around her.

“Too beautiful~” With just one glance, Cao Meng was stunned.

The Empress Revered Master seemed to have completely transformed into a different person.

“Could it be because of me?”

Wu Feiyan's destiny value + 500.

destiny value + 250.

Two strings of faint golden text flashed before his eyes.

“What? Double increase?”

“Mutual progression?”

Cao Meng was stunned.

Before, he would Plunder the Empress, resulting in one increase and one decrease.

Now it was a double increase?

However, Wu Feiyan's destiny value increased by five hundred, while his own destiny value increased by half of that.

In other words, after his many days of practical influence, Wu Feiyan had switched sides and become his backer and benefactor?

“It became Cannot Plunder?” Cao Meng blinked his eyes.

It didn't matter.

It was just changing the method of profiting from the Empress.

Moreover, this time the Cultivation Technique mutated, unexpectedly drawing in the True Fire of the Sun for Body Tempering.

Although an accident occurred midway, under the guidance of the Empress Revered Master's Supreme Yin Saint Body, the danger was averted.

Cao Meng lightly waved his arm, immediately feeling his body filled with inexhaustible power.

“So strong. The Immeasurable Golden Body seems to have been strengthened again.”

Cao Meng impatiently opened his attribute panel.

“Awesome~” Cao Meng blinked his eyes.

This session of Cultivation yielded significant gains.

Not only did he completely refine the dragon tiger golden elixir, but his Immeasurable Golden Body and Myriad Beast Dharma Image both received considerable enhancement.

So much so that the strength of his Physical Body far surpassed his main body's cultivation.

Furthermore, the Chaos Supreme Art also mutated and evolved.

The only thing that puzzled Cao Meng was that completely refining one dragon tiger golden elixir still hadn't allowed him to advance to the Golden Core Peak.

One must know that this dragon tiger golden elixir contained the lifelong Cultivation of Young Master Zhang, the contemporary Sect Head of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

If an ordinary person completely refined it, they would at least advance to the Dragon Elephant Realm Middle Stage.

“Did all the energy go into strengthening my Physical Body, or is the grade of my Cultivation Technique too high, or was it taken by Revered Master?”

Thinking of this, Cao Meng's attention once again fell upon Wu Feiyan's graceful immortal figure.

Coincidentally, Wu Feiyan also opened her eyes at this moment.

Their eyes met.

Wu Feiyan quickly lowered her head.

“Master, thank you.” Cao Meng stood up with a grin and walked forward.

The Prodigy Empress let out a soft snort, a look of annoyance on her face.

This Rebellious Disciple was simply... too detestable.

Cao Meng laughed, saying, “Master, your Disciple still has some True Fire of the Sun inside his body that has not been completely refined, and he still needs Master's assistance.”

“We'll talk about it another day. Scram~”

... In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day.

When Wu Feiyan woke up, the morning light was already bright.

The morning sun shone on her graceful Immortal Body, casting a faint golden glow, making her incredibly enchanting.

She gently stretched her body.

“This villain is truly formidable!”

“Master, your Disciple requests an audience~” Just then, a silver-bell-like voice came from outside the hall.

“Nether Pupil? Oh no, I almost forgot about Xiao Tian's matter~”
