Chapter 518: The Source of Yin Energy Turns Out to Be Her (1)
Mu Ruoyi then noticed two passersby and curiously asked, “Who are these two?”
“You must be Mu Ruoyi, the Saintess of Shuiyu Valley, right? I am Jiang Feng, the former Crown Prince.”
Jiang Feng introduced himself quite politely.
“Former Crown Prince? From the Great Qilin Kingdom?”
Mu Ruoyi asked in disbelief.
“Indeed.”
Jiang Feng confirmed.
“How is that possible? Everyone in the world knows that when the Lin Clan led the rebel army into the former imperial palace, they spared no imperial clan member.”
Mu Ruoyi immediately raised her objection.
“Do you believe everything they say? That was purely to stabilize the army’s morale. In fact, the last survivor of the former imperial clan was only killed over thirty years ago.”
Jiang Feng shook his head.
“If that’s the case, then where did you, a lively former Crown Prince, come from?”
A playful smile appeared on Mu Ruoyi’s face.
“Lively? Heh, it’s not only the living that can be lively in this world!”
Jiang Feng grinned slightly, revealing four sharp, pointed zombie fangs.
“A zombie!”
Mu Ruoyi’s face instantly lost all color, and she reflexively leaped backward, causing her chest to surge again.
“Why are you so agitated? With me here, nothing can happen to you!”
Qi Huang shook her head helplessly.
“Uh… I apologize… it was purely a reflex action.”
Mu Ruoyi blinked for a moment and then explained awkwardly.
“His Highness the Crown Prince has something to request, so listen carefully.”
Qi Huang explained the situation.
“Is he your friend? If so, I will do my best to help if I can.”
Mu Ruoyi promised, patting her chest.
“Something like that.”
Qi Huang didn’t want to waste any more words.
Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Feng’s evil charm face.
He then revealed his purpose to Mu Ruoyi.
Mullinglong of Shuiyu Valley can indeed communicate with plants, but over thirty years ago…
A troubled expression appeared on Mu Ruoyi’s pretty face.
“What’s the problem?”
Jiang Feng asked knowingly.
“Mullinglong isn’t omnipotent. My current cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Huashen Realm. At most, I can see events from a few years ago. To see thirty years ago, I need to reach the Shentong Realm.”
Mu Ruoyi explained.
“Is that so? Then how long do you think it will take you to reach the Shentong Realm?”
Jiang Feng pressed.
“Heh…”
Mu Ruoyi smiled wryly and said, “If I’m lucky, two to three hundred years. If I’m unlucky, I might not reach the Shentong Realm in this lifetime.”
“Two to three hundred years? That’s too long. I don’t have that much patience. Are there any shortcuts?”
Jiang Feng asked with a glimmer of hope.
Mu Ruoyi pondered for a moment and then said, “Shortcuts? There is one. Although my talent is average, my sister Hong Ling’s talent is phenomenal. It certainly won’t take her that long to reach the Shentong Realm.”
“What does that have to do with me?”
Cheng Hong Ling furrowed her delicate brows.
“Because you’ve cultivated Shui Linglong, ah, Shui Linglong and Mullinglong. These two cultivation techniques are complementary. So, as long as you reach the Shentong Realm, I can borrow your blood to see what happened over thirty years ago.”
Mu Ruoyi explained in detail.
“Really?”
Jiang Feng was overjoyed and then looked at Cheng Hong Ling and said, “Then how long will it take my beloved concubine to reach the Shentong Realm?”
“Beloved concubine?”
Mu Ruoyi’s expression changed upon hearing this. Everyone has possessiveness, so even if the Immortal Tablet was gone, she wouldn’t easily concede.
“He’s just wishful thinking.”
Qi Huang explained casually.
Hearing this, Mu Ruoyi’s expression softened slightly, but the hostility in her eyes was still evident.
“Me?”
Cheng Hong Ling didn’t answer but looked at her clone.
“At most seven or eight years.”
Qi Huang lied. Although she was confident she could help her clone reach the Shentong Realm within half a year, she also knew that the longer the delay, the more advantageous it would be for her. First, they would get the zombie Crown Prince to help deal with the source of Yin energy. Once she became an immortal, what would she have to fear?
“Seven or eight years? Really?”
Jiang Feng was overjoyed.
“Why would I lie to you? If I can’t do it then, you can awaken that evil spirit and let it help you break out of Pingshan Mass Grave.”
Qi Huang smiled confidently.
“Excellent!”
Jiang Feng let out a long sigh and then said, “How about this, let’s make a deal. Within these seven or eight years, this Crown Prince will do his best to prevent the outbreak of the source of Yin energy. After you reach the Shentong Realm, you can cooperate with Saintess Mu to help me find clues about my descendants.”
“Alright, it’s a deal!”
Qi Huang couldn’t be more pleased.
With the deal made, Jiang Feng prepared to leave, but he suddenly remembered something: “Since we are partners now, this Crown Prince will give my beloved concubine a piece of information for free. It was a group of cultivators who awakened me. It seems someone wants to cause trouble for you.”
“What? It was cultivators who awakened you?”
Qi Huang’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.
“Who awakened you?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s charming eyes condensed into killing intent, sending a chill down one’s spine.
“People from the HuXiao Sect.”
Jiang Feng said without hesitation.
“How can you be sure?”
Qi Huang suppressed her anger and asked.
“It’s been almost two years since this Crown Prince woke up, and the HuXiao Sect has been so high-profile in Yongning Prefecture. How could I not know? The leader that day was Elder Zhou.”
Jiang Feng explained. He was constantly thinking of conquering the land and earning rewards, so he naturally paid close attention to the affairs of various factions in Yongning Prefecture.
“It really was them.”
Qi Huang trembled with anger. The HuXiao Sect, as an Immortal Sect, had done such a bottomless thing, which was simply inhumane.
Jiang Feng then left with satisfaction. For him, as long as he figured out the situation of his descendants, he could act without restraint.
“Sister Qi Huang, do we really have to help him?”
Mu Ruoyi was a little unhappy. She now saw the zombie Crown Prince as a love rival.
“Sister Ruoyi, you just heard that the source of Yin energy in Pingshan Mass Grave constantly threatens the safety of Huangtian Capital. If we don’t get his help to manage it, once it erupts, let alone HongHua Sect, no one in the entire Xihui Dynasty can stop it. The entire world will face annihilation.”
Qi Huang explained sternly.
“Alright, for your sake and Sister Hong Ling’s, and for the sake of all the people in the world, I will do my best to help.”
Mu Ruoyi took a deep breath.
“This is the demeanor a Saintess should have.”
Qi Huang showed admiration on her face.
Not long after, Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling returned home.
“What do you think we should do about the HuXiao Sect?”
Qi Huang sought the opinion of her main body.
“These people, to cause trouble for me, actually did such a bottomless thing, almost causing Huangtian Capital to face annihilation. They truly deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces, but unfortunately, I don’t have the ability.”
Cheng Hong Ling said, her anger still unquenchable.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me. None of those involved in this matter will survive.”
Qi Huang sneered.
“When are you planning to make a move?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked curiously.
“In a while. At least we need to see how that young man Jiang Feng performs. Those evil spirits asked him to help awaken the source of Yin energy, right? What if I leave, and the source of Yin energy erupts right after?”
Qi Huang replied.
“Mm!”
Cheng Hong Ling nodded in agreement.
“Once I confirm that he is a sincere collaborator, I will have an errand to run. Then I can take care of those guys from the HuXiao Sect along the way.”
Qi Huang made her plan.
“What errand?”
Cheng Hong Ling relentlessly asked like a little wife.
“It’s like this: because my spiritual sense enhancement relies entirely on Ghost Tomatoes, I’ve been having Juyin Auction House help me collect them for the past two years. However, this item is rarely seen in the outside world,
But this item is really too rare in the wild. If I want to maintain a sufficiently fast cultivation speed, I must rely on large-scale artificial cultivation. So I deliberately leaked this information to Elder Zuo, because I know that guy will definitely not miss this opportunity to get rich, and having him plant them won’t affect ordinary people.
Qi Huang began to narrate slowly.
“So? Has that guy started planting them?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked curiously.
“Yes. The first thing I did after returning from Hua Rong Sect was to check the Imperial Capital. That guy planted five to six thousand plants, and the scale is still expanding. He must have sourced them from the entire Cult. With these Ghost Tomatoes, plus the ones I planted myself, my spiritual sense will definitely reach the second level of the Heavenly Punishment Realm before the sixth day of June next year.”
Qi Huang introduced.
“That’s great then, isn’t it? That way, we can deal with Hua Rong Sect.”
A hint of joy appeared on Cheng Hong Ling’s face.
“But the problem is that just dealing with Hua Rong Sect doesn’t solve the fundamental issue! My ultimate goal is to remove the Immortal Tablet of the Lü Family, and now there’s another one, which is to protect Huang Tian Prefecture from the threat of the evil spirits from Pingshan Mass Grave. So his thousands of Ghost Tomatoes are far from enough.”
Qi Huang shook her head.
“Then what do you plan to do?”
Cheng Hong Ling continued to ask.
“I plan to leak this opportunity to get rich to the various branches of the Immortal Alliance across the continent, and have them all grow vegetables for me. When my spiritual sense reaches the late stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, I will be able to leave the Cult and search for Ghost Tomatoes on various stars in the universe.”
Qi Huang revealed her grand ambition.
“You’re going to leave the Cult?”
Cheng Hong Ling looked shocked.
“Yes, only by collecting more resources can I become strong enough!”
Qi Huang clenched her delicate fist and said.
Three days after Jiang Feng returned to the Crown Prince’s Tomb, that Wang Jun came to visit him, naturally with the purpose of asking him to help awaken the source of Yin energy for him.
