Even though High Heaven Palaceβs sudden rise following the destruction of Seeking Passion Sect was the reason why Full Sky Sect and Fire Dragon Palace had recently formed an alliance, who of them did not have their own selfish motives? Naturally, Mi Qi did not hope for Li Jiao to become too strong.
In his heart, he secretly prayed that Ji Ying would fail to refine the Dragon Blood Pill.
But he also knew how unlikely that was. Ji Ying was an Emperor Grade Alchemist and his skill was unquestionable. If he said he could refine three pills, then he naturally wasnβt just boasting. He was sure he could really do it.
Li Jiao laughed, looking very pleased.
Right at that moment, another strange sound occurred. The three of them were taken by surprise and all turned their attention to the Dragon Blood Flower.
The blooming Dragon Blood Flower which was about to blossom began to unfurl a little, releasing a crimson light that dazzled their eyes.
The three Emperors were all holding their breaths, not turning away for even an instant.
The red light flourished more and more as the flower bloomed like a new life was being born that wanted to break free from that flower as faint Dragon Qi began spreading out in all directions.
*Dong dong, dong dongβ¦*
Li Jiaoβs heartbeat could clearly be heard. This matter was directly related to the increase in his strength, so he was naturally even more nervous than the other two.
All of a sudden, as if the birth of the flower was being hindered by something, the light suddenly dimmed a little. Even the petals that were about to open up began to coil up again.
A withering feeling enveloped the entire plant.
Li Jiaoβs face changed dramatically and he called out in alarm, βWhatβ¦β
Ji Ying shouted quickly, βPalace Master Li! Quickly use your Blood Essence to feed it before itβs too late!β
The Dragon Blood Flower could only grow using the Dragon Clanβs Blood Essence as nourishment, so Li Jiao was the only one who could save this peculiar flower at the moment.
When he heard Ji Yingβs words, Li Jiao didnβt think twice and raised his finger, drawing a wound across the tip and using a Secret Technique to draw a drop of his Blood Essence out.
βGo!β He shouted, sending the drop of Blood Essence flying in an arc towards the Dragon Blood Flower, landing steadily into the centre of the bud.
After receiving this nourishment, the Dragon Blood Flower regained its vitality as expected. The petals began to unfurl even faster than before, its peculiar fragrance permeating in the air.
On the other hand, Li Jiao, who had forced out that drop of Blood Essence, was slightly pale-faced at the moment, looking as if his foundation had been severely damaged. A drop of Blood Essence would require at least ten years of dedicated cultivation to restore, but when he thought of the wonderful uses of the Dragon Blood Pill, Li Jiao felt it was all worth it.
A loud dragon roar suddenly echoed as the Dragon Blood Flower blossomed in an instant. Following that, a red light sprang out, shooting straight into the sky like a living creature.
Ji Ying had been prepared early and he reacted quickly, reaching out his hand and making a grabbing motion, causing the red light to freeze mid-air, though it still struggled visibly.
Mi Qi and Li Jiao watched intently, both revealing looks of amazement.
That was because they saw the red light take the shape of a tiny dragonβ¦
βThis is a Dragon Blood Flower?β Li Jiao and Mi Qi looked at each other. They were both in disbelief. This Dragon Blood Flower didnβt look like a flower in the slightest, but rather the spirit of a dragon. Was this truly the Dragon Blood Flower?
Ji Ying took out a wooden box that smelled of fragrant sandalwood in excitement and put the Dragon Blood Flower into it before sealing it. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, βFortunately it is not of a high grade, otherwise I really wouldnβt have been able to suppress it!β
The Dragon Blood Flower can only be produced on Dragon Island, and also subdued by only the Dragon Clan.
βSince the spirit flower has bloomed, I will leave the Alchemy to Grandmaster Ji,β suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Jiao said respectfully to him.
βEn. Just leave everything to me. Palace Master Li, if you prepare a secluded chamber for meβ¦β Ji Ying nodded.
βYes, yes!β Li Jiao was overjoyed. He thought that Ji Ying would bring the Dragon Blood Flower back to Medicine Pill Valley in order to refine it, but from what he said, he seemed to have the intention to start refining the pill here. So, how could he not be happy?
Mi Qi forced out a smile, βBrother Li, you should go handle that. Iβll stay and accompany Grandmaster Ji here.β
Li Jiao nodded, βGood! Please wait for a moment!β
After that, he turned to leave.
Right then, Ji Ying suddenly took out his communication artifact, but after checking it for a moment, his originally joyful appearance suddenly became filled with rage as he shouted, βImpudence!β
Li Jiao was startled and quickly turned around and asked, βWhat happened?β
He thought he had accidentally offended Ji Ying somehow.
Mi Qi also asked curiously, βGrandmaster Ji, what happened?β
Ji Yingβs face turned dark, βLi Xuan was beaten!β
βLi Xuanβ¦β Both Mi Qi and Li Jiao muttered that name before quickly recalling. Wasnβt Li Xuan one of Grandmaster Jiβs disciples? That boy wasnβt old, but both his talent in cultivation and Alchemy were quite outstanding, so he was valued and nurtured greatly by Ji Ying. He had followed Ji Ying here a few days ago to Fire Dragon Palace, but was sent out to collect spirit herbs after the Dragon Blood Flower incident.
βWas it Ice Heart Valley or High Heaven Palace?β Mi Qiβs heart was beating wildly and he couldnβt help but ask in excitement.
If it were the people from High Heaven Palace who beat Li Xuan up, then there would be a good show for them to watch. He and Li Jiao were worrying over how they could keep High Heaven Palaceβs arrogance in check, or better, suppress them. They didnβt expect High Heaven Palace to put themselves on the plate before they could even come up with a solution.
βItβs that High Heaven Palaceβs Palace Master!β Ji Ying had a furious expression on his face, βHe beat my disciple and stole the Source Crystals I gave him to buy the spirit herbs with. This High Heaven Palace is simply lawless!β
βWhat?β Mi Qi was shocked, βThey didnβt just beat people but even snatched their Source Crystals? Thisβ¦β
He almost couldnβt help himself from throwing his head back and laughing, thinking to himself, [High Heaven Palace, youβre asking for your own destruction! You think you can touch the people from Medicine Pill Valley however you please?]
βSuch impudence! How dare High Heaven Palace despise Medicine Pill Valley! I, Li Jiao, and he are absolutely irreconcilable!β Li Jiao also realized that an opportunity had come and quickly exclaimed.
βPalace Master Li, Iβm afraid this Alchemy matter will have to be delayed for now. This concerns the reputation of my Medicine Pill Valley so I must make a trip there personally to see just what that High Heaven Palace is trying to do!β Ji Ying yelled. Even though he promised Li Jiao, this was an important matter that he could not delay; otherwise, if word got out, then it would damage the prestige of both Medicine Pill Valley and Wondrous Pill Great Emperor.
βThisβ¦ It canβt be helped.β Li Jiao was slightly exasperated. He could have gotten the Dragon Blood Pill immediately, but he didnβt expect such an incident to happen out of nowhere. He already had a bad impression of High Heaven Palace to begin with, so now he hated them even more.
βBut Grandmaster Ji, itβs better not to go alone,β Mi Qi frowned.
Ji Ying snorted, βWhatβs wrong? Would he still dare to act unruly even if I make an appearance personally?β
Mi Qi said with a straight face, βIf it were a Northern Territory cultivator like us, then we naturally wouldnβt dare be impudent in front of Grandmaster Ji. However, I heard that High Heaven Palaceβs Palace Master is not from the Northern Territory. It seems he is from the Southern Territory. Whatβs more, he is a domineering and unreasonable man who uses all kinds of cruel methods. If that wasnβt the case, he wouldnβt have wiped out the Seeking Passion Sect. It is better to be on guard against such a ruthless and bloodthirsty man. Grandmaster Ji must not risk his safety so easily!β
βWhat Brother Mi Qi said is right,β Li Jiao nodded, βI have also heard that not only is that brat surnamed Yang savage and domineering, he also colludes with the Monster Race. It is best to be on guard.β
Ji Ying declared, βEven if I must enter a dragonβs cave, I must go. My disciple has been beaten and my Source Crystals robbed. If I stay silent on this matter, how will I face my Honoured Master when I return to Medicine Pill Valley?β
βNaturally, the trip has to be made,β Mi Qi and Li Jiao glanced at each other, βBut Grandmaster Ji mustnβt go alone.β
βIndeed,β Li Jiao nodded, βHow about this, as Brother Mi Qi and I are both free, we can accompany Grandmaster Ji to keep the situation under control. Letβs see if that High Heaven Palace truly wants to go against the Heavens!β
βBrother Li makes a good suggestion. I agree. If that High Heaven Palace really dares to disrespect Grandmaster Ji, then Brother Li and I will put our lives on the line in order to protect you!β
βThenβ¦ I shall trouble you both.β Ji Ying also did not refuse them, mainly because he was feeling anxious from hearing what these two had to say. He was truly worried that High Heaven Palace would not take his status into account and lay a hand on him.
βWe must not delay. Let us set off!β
β¦..
High Heaven Palace, atop a certain mountain peak. Yang Kai was currently lying on the ground, legs crossed, lazily soaking in the sun.
It was a bright day today with not a cloud in the sky, and he was currently being accompanied by beauties in this sunny world.
Zhu Qing, who was pouring wine for him to the side, grit her teeth and spat as she shoved the cup in front of him, βDrink!β
In order not to lose him again, Zhu Qing decided to stick by his side at all times, forcing her to endure humiliation after humiliation. She had to put up with Yang Kaiβs various criticisms and commands, and now she was even serving him like a maid.
Her pride was being trampled into a mess, and Zhu Qing felt that there was simply no one more hateful than this man in front of her right now.
βAhβ¦β Yang Kai opened his mouth but did not move.
Zhu Qing shot him a hateful glare before lifting the cup to his mouth and pouring it drink down.
He drank it in one gulp.
βAhβ¦β Yang Kai opened his mouth again, eyes slightly narrowed with a pleasant expression.
Flames of fury were tumbling around in Zhu Qingβs chest and wanted nothing more than to burn this man alive with her Dragon Flames, but she still reached over to pick up a grape-like berry and pop it into Yang Kaiβs mouth.
After chewing a few times, Yang Kai swallowed the fruit, then turned to his side and propped his head up with his hand, looking at Zhu Qing, βQingβer, howβs your Dragon Island right now?β
Zhu Qing responded indifferently, βIf you want to know, then just follow me over.β
βYouβre talking about that again,β Yang Kai frowned, βDo you not want to be friends anymore?β
βYouβre the one who asked,β a trace of panic flashed past Zhu Qingβs face. It took a lot of effort for her and Yang Kai to become βfriendsβ, so if he really cut off their relationship because of this, then she would be done for.
Yang Kai grinned meaningfully, looking at her with interest, he asked, βDo you have any other friends?β
Zhu Qing shook her head.
[Why would a Dragon need friends? What a joke.]
Yang Kai said with a serious look, βLet me tell you, there are many types of friends. Even though weβre friends now, weβre nothing more than the most ordinary of friends.β
βThere are other types?β Zhu Qing furrowed her brows and asked curiously.
βNaturally so,β Yang Kai nodded pretentiously, βThere are normal friends, then you have close friends above that. And if you go furtherβ¦ intimate friends! En, if we were intimate friends, then that would change our relationship. If it were so, it would not be impossible for me to consider visiting Dragon Island.β
Zhu Qingβs eyes lit up, βThen letβs be intimate friends?β
βDo you really want to?β Yang Kai looked at her with a solemn expression.
βOf course! Letβs be intimate!β Zhu Qing nodded with certainty.
