Heaven-defying Phoenix - C98

“Ninth Miss, you, your talent …”

He was simply too shocked. Twelve levels of innate talent, this was something he had never heard of before, not to mention that Jiu Mu Li’s innate talent was something even the crystal pillar couldn’t handle.

“That thing is not worth anything, there’s no need to compensate.”

Kaiser was truly happy. A genius alchemist like him was born in the Royal Family, how could he not be excited?

Adding Jiu Mu Li and Qin Zheng’s relationship, if Qin Nation wanted any pills in the future, it would all be a matter of words.

Seeing that, Jiu Mu Li calmed her worry. She knew that her talent was too good, and that the Kaiser was also trying to rope him in. She could not help but laugh: “Then I’m really sorry.”

She really wanted to say, could she buy a few more, but she didn’t think of an excuse. After all, the secrets on her body were not to be told to anyone, otherwise, only death awaited her.

In this world, she finally understood that cultivators with strong powers could snatch anything they saw without any hesitation. It was just like how Jiu Tian Xue whipped her Emperor Bone, but Jiu Tian Xue had the Hundred Flowers Palace behind him, so no one dared to say anything.

There was no justice here, only the law of the jungle.

“It’s nothing, don’t mind it.”

The Kaiser smiled craftily: “Looks like our Qin Nation will have to add another alchemist position in the future.”

“This… “Wait until I find the flame.”

Jiu Mu Li laughed, now that the shadow of the Heavenly Flame had disappeared, how could she have the qualifications to say all these. Furthermore, she had already decided, after the Star God Pagoda opens, she would want to travel the world and completely leave Qin Zheng.

“Whatever.”

The Kaiser did not insist, and was very generous and did not say much.

When Qin Zheng saw this, his brows furrowed and he said coldly: “Let’s go back and prepare. We need to look for the Heavenly Flame next.”

“Alright.”

Jiu Mu Li nodded and said to the Kaiser, “Your Majesty, please do not reveal anything regarding your innate talent to anyone else. Goodbye.”

“No problem, go ahead.”

After returning to the Jiuhua Hall, Jiu Mu Li saw that Qin Zheng seemed to be deep in thought and could not help but ask, “Do you know where the strange fire is?”

This was the first time she had heard of the ‘Heavenly Flame’, and she still hadn’t received any news about it. She was completely at a loss, but looking at Qin Zheng’s expression, it was clear that he was also thinking about this matter.

“I know some information, but I need to check it out first.”

Facing Jiu Mu Li alone, Qin Zheng did not care about words anymore.

“Where is it? Is it dangerous?”

Jiu Mu Li frowned slightly. Looking at Qin Zheng’s appearance, he seemed to be stuck in a difficult situation, which probably wasn’t a good place.

“Sea of Nine Serenities, it’s very dangerous for you. It’s fine if I go with you but anyone can’t absorb the ‘Heavenly Flame’. Have you really made up your mind?” Qin Zheng thought, his eyes filled with hesitation.

Jiu Mu Li nodded her head resolutely, “Although it’s easy to affect your training by being distracted, being able to become an alchemist is not like begging for others in the future. You also have an extremely good source of wealth, I want to give it a try no matter how difficult it is.”

With so many spirit stones waiting for him to earn, what else was there to hesitate about? Jiu Mu Li had already calculated in her heart.

However, Qin Zheng’s performance these two days was rather strange. Ever since the Opening the Profound Vein, Jiu Mu Li felt that the other party had suddenly become extremely attentive to him.

The two of them discussed for a while and decided to head to the Sea of Nine Serenities. However, it was only rumored that there was a flame there and it was still unknown whether it was real or not.

A strong ‘Heavenly Flame’ was snatched away by the alchemists as soon as it appeared. It was not bad to be able to hear about it now because the Sea of Nine Serenities was too dangerous. Otherwise, one would not be able to find it.

After all, the Pharmacist was too strong. Although there were few gifted people, there would be many of them over the years. Everyone needed the ‘Heavenly Flame’ so they had to put in a lot of effort.

After Qin Zheng finished giving out his orders, he did not give any more instructions, and left by himself.

“Sea of Nine Serenities?”

Jiu Mu Li frowned, feeling that it was a little tricky.

The Sea of Nine Serenities was located at the border of the Qin Nation, and as the name implied, it was a sea, but it was too vast and there were many islands, so it was obviously not easy to find the Heavenly Flame there, furthermore, there were also many powerhouses there, and as for the specifics, Jiu Mu Li did not know.

Although the Jiuhua Hall had a lot of books, the content that was related to cultivators was still too little.

Her journey on the path of cultivation was too short, and she did not understand a lot of things. Compared to the disciples from the famous sects, she was still lacking in knowledge and experience.

“I wonder how Jiu Tian Xue is doing right now. Star God Pagoda, I definitely cannot miss this chance.”

It was just as Qin Zheng had said, his foundation was simply too robust. She had a faint feeling that if she wanted to break through to the Starer, the amount of spirit energy he needed would be at least ten times more than the amount she needed to break through to the twelfth level of coagulation field back then.

When she had broken through the coagulation field, she had relied on the courage of the Seven-coloured Purgatory Python. Now, she was thinking about that kind of treasure.

In that case, spirit stones and pills were the best solution, and there weren’t any hidden dangers.

… ….

After resting for the entire afternoon and giving the plant heart s to the glazed palace lamp and consoling the lotus seed between her brows, she finally left the Jiuhua Hall and headed towards the Gongquan.

Looking for the Heavenly Flame would take a lot of time, so she felt that it was necessary to greet the little boy from Gongquan.

Gongquan was just like how it was in the past, a desolate feeling permeated through the tranquility, the little boy was still tirelessly cultivating in the courtyard.

Sensing that Jiu Mu Li had arrived, the little boy’s indifferent expression slightly relaxed, and she nodded towards Jiu Mu Li.

Seeing him like that, Jiu Mu Li heaved a sigh of relief, she was worried that Qin Zheng’s sudden intrusion the last time would cause the two of them to feel awkward, but now, it seemed like she was overthinking it.

The little boy was silent for a moment. He frowned and asked, “Is it something important?”

“Un, the Star God Pagoda is about to open. I have a spot, I want to hurry and level up.” Jiu Mu Li nodded. She did not mention the matter of her search for the ‘Heavenly Flame’, mainly because she did not want to attract too much attention.

It was not a good thing for her to be too weak and too dazzling. The consequences of being too weak were even more unimaginable in the world of cultivators.

“This time, I want to help you remove the blood curse.”

“Alright.”

As the little boy spoke, he sat down very straightforwardly.

Since the other party had the mentality of an adult, Jiu Mu Li was not surprised. She immediately started the needling.

Just like last time, she was still extremely focused. Furthermore, after the last time with the needling, the blood curse on the little boy’s body had not only not worsened, it had even improved.

After spending over two hours on the needles, although Jiu Mu Li was still exhausted, but it was much better than last time. At least she still had some energy left in him.

The little boy also felt that it was good, and his body expanded without any hesitation, becoming young again. He looked at Jiu Mu Li silently, and finally said: “Ye Ke Wu!”

The voice was magnetic, and even though it was still icy cold, giving off a sense of estrangement, it had a more stable air to it than when he was a boy.

This was the first time Jiu Mu Li heard the other party speak under the appearance of a young man, and she was momentarily stunned.

“Ye Ke Wu, what a strange name.”

Very quickly, Jiu Mu Li felt that this name was too strange, not only that it wasn’t Qin, it probably wasn’t part of the imperial family’s identity, but since that was the case, how could she monopolize the entire Gongquan?

Jiu Mu Li was full of doubts, but she tactfully did not ask. She had already delayed for too long, so in order to not cause trouble for the other party, she said “take care” and left.

When Jiu Mu Li returned, she did not appear, nor did she give her any face. This made her heave a sigh of relief, and when she returned to her room, she called Bai Qing over and said: “Bai Qing, I’m going out tomorrow, and I’ll be back in a month. During this period of time, you try my best not to go out.”

“Ah, young miss, where are you going? Is Your Highness letting you go?” Bai Qing was shocked.

“It’s fine, he’s coming with me, he wants to go to Sea of Nine Serenities, I’m not back yet, just try not to go out, if there’s anything you need help with, Director Chen can help out.”

Jiu Mu Li did not elaborate, but it was rare that Bai Qing had accompanied her for such a long time. She had enemies in the palace now, and if she was caught by the imperial concubine, she would be dead for sure. Furthermore, the closer the Star God Pagoda opened, the more talented people in the palace would return.

“I understand.” Seeing that Qin Zheng had also followed along, Bai Qing did not say much. After all, Qin Zheng’s strength was comparable to the Three Great Sects’ Sect Leaders, and was sufficient to ensure Jiu Mu Li’s safety.

After Jiu Mu Li finished giving out instructions, she gave some more instructions to the Director Chen before finally resting. She was already very tired from suppressing the blood curse on Ye Ke Wu, so she did not continue cultivating.

She already had the talent to walk the Pharmacist’s path, and would never shrink from it. This was an opportunity for her to rise to prominence, and the most important factor for her to surpass everyone else.

In Mystical Mystery Master, where the alchemists were gathered, there was a great path to heaven waiting for her.

Early in the morning on the second day, when Jiu Mu Li woke up, she was already waiting.
