Chapter 247 Tangled
The Eight-petal Fairy Orchid consumed too much demonic power. A treasure of this level was beyond the Demon King's ability to bear. Chu Yu's injection of profound energy could not keep up with the rate of consumption.
Mo Xuan's breathing gradually became weaker and his pulse became weaker.
Chu Yu had no choice but to use the fairy fruit to help Mo Xuan recover. The fairy fruit itself contains a large amount of spiritual energy, which can be regarded as returning to its original purpose.
Just on the way back, Mo Xuan consumed more than a dozen fairy fruits, and the loss of demonic power in his body was alleviated.
Chu Yu entered Mo Xuan's purple palace to investigate and found that the fairy orchid's petals were three-quarters open, with only the last two petals, one black and one white, left protecting the pistil.
The little wolf finally woke up and was able to eat on his own.
Chu Yu said nothing, but just kept feeding spirit stones to Mo Xuan.
Yue Ling was also very generous, showing her generosity as a princess, and fed him a bag full of spirit stones.
The little wolf started eating with a grunt.
When they returned to the crack, they found that the Seventh Prince had not returned yet and the stone lantern was still there, so they returned to the fairy mountain and closed the entrance.
It was temporarily safe, and Chu Yu immediately broke into Mo Xuan's purple palace and confronted Xian Lan.
It was perfectly normal for a spiritual plant of the Xianlan level to have self-awareness. Chu Yu naturally started talking to it:
"It's not my intention to forcibly interrupt your flowering, but I have to do it. If I don't take you away immediately, it will attract those prehistoric beasts and cause more trouble."
"You can transfer into my body. I'm sure you've felt it. My power can help you be born and bloom. I'm stronger than my pet and a better host."
"Why do you have to live in the body of a wolf cub? There are obviously better options."
Xianlan remained unmoved, and even moved a little further away when Chu Yu moved closer.
A hint of coldness flashed in Chu Yu's eyes, and the mysterious energy around him spread out silently.
"You almost killed my wolf. I'm giving you a chance to choose, but that doesn't mean I have no choice but to beg you."
When Xianlan heard the threat, its slender leaves trembled slightly, and its flower bud tilted slightly, as if it was making a disdainful mockery, and it chuckled twice.
Afterwards, the fairy orchid began to absorb Mo Xuan's demonic power even more vigorously. It ignored Chu Yu's warning and seemed to want to control Chu Yu by using Mo Xuan's life.
Chu Yu's eyes flashed, and he immediately activated the mysterious method. Even the air in the entire purple mansion was distorted. Xianlan seemed unaware of what kind of person the woman opposite her was, and only thought she was an ordinary cultivator.
It was not until one of its petals closed due to the loss of yin and yang power that Xianlan realized the seriousness of the matter.
......
After a while, Chu Yu came out, his face showing no emotion.
The little wolf showed off a lot of spirit stones and his mental state improved a lot, but he was not as lively as before. He walked softly, tiptoed to Chu Yu's feet, and rubbed them like a spoiled child.
Chu Yu understood, squatted down and picked it up. Mo Xuan snuggled into Chu Yu's warm arms as he wished, and snored peacefully.
"How is it?" Yue Ling asked with concern immediately.
"Xianlan agreed to stop absorbing Mo Xuan's power, but she wants to stay in Mo Xuan's body."
"The fairy orchid has a clear sense of the power of Yin and Yang Samsara. It knows the nature of this small world's seven-day cycle. When the power of Samsara is at its strongest on the seventh day, it will begin to absorb the power of Samsara to help it bloom."
Yue Ling heard this and nodded:
"Agree first. Saving the little wolf is the most important thing. If our search for the medicine progresses ahead of schedule, we can discuss it later if there are other variables."
Chu Yu: "I have already agreed."
If Yue Ling could enter Xiaolang's purple palace, she would be able to see a flower bud suppressed by ten layers of restrictions.
This is a treatment that is beyond belief.
"The fairy orchid has developed intelligence. It knows that it cannot escape the fate of being refined into elixir, so it is threatening us with the life of this little cutie." Yue Ling gently touched Mo Xuan's head.
In the past, the little wolf would move his ears in response, but now he is so tired that even his ears are limp.
Chu Yu's eyes were very calm, like the ice and snow in the north, and he said "hmm".
"If Madam Chunling doesn't refine it, I will refine it."
......
There was a commotion outside the stadium.
Yue Ling collected five herbs in two days, and only needed two more to make the pill.
The ministers in charge of the medicine-hunting conference in Wuyang Kingdom knelt at their desks in the lobby, carefully calculating the scores of each prince and princess, and keeping a close eye on the whereabouts of each medicine.
The Fourth Princess's people were still making noise, and they only quieted down after she reunited with the Third Prince.
After a short while of silence, the Seventh Prince's men began to move again.
"That woman betrayed her faith and violated her oath, actually blocking the Seventh Prince's path back to the mountain!"
"Alas, His Highness the Seventh Prince trusted his brothers so much, yet he was treated like this..."
The Ninth Princess was almost drowned in spit. Of course, no one dared to scold the princess directly, but only dared to make indirect and sarcastic remarks.
Chu Yu was not treated so well, and many people cursed him by name.
"The meeting is still going on, everyone please be quiet." Someone under the queen reminded, and several people fell silent.
But this also aroused deeper conflicts. When the imperial concubine's faction saw the queen's fate, they simply didn't want to act anymore.
"Sister Queen is so tolerant. The Fourth Princess scolded her, the Seventh Prince scolded her, and the Ninth Princess was so spoiled that she couldn't even say anything."
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly.
The Fourth Princess's men scolded your son, and your men scolded the Fourth Princess back. What does this have to do with the Ninth Princess?
The people from the Fourth Princess's faction immediately followed the Imperial Concubine's faction and started to bully the Ninth Princess.
Just now these two families were cursing at each other, but now they are united.
The emperor carefully observed how his children would behave in times of crisis, but he expressed impatience with the open and covert struggles outside the court.
Deliberately allowing these people to fight and compete was also to select a crown prince that suited his taste.
His eyes kept wandering between the images of the Fourth Princess, the Seventh Prince, and the Ninth Princess, and he felt that none of them were satisfactory enough.
Xiao Si is slightly less talented, but her hard work can fully make up for it. Precisely because she knows that her talent is not as good as her younger siblings, she has been thinking a lot since she was a child.
Although being cautious is a good thing, it lacks decisiveness and fails to seize opportunities.
She liked to hide her little thoughts, and even schemed against the emperor. The emperor saw through it, but just wanted to know how far she could go with her abilities, and never exposed her.
Xiaojiu was too lonely and isolated. In such a helpless situation, the fact that she could find medicine so quickly had a lot to do with that girl.
She should spend more time with her other brothers and sisters. Even if she cannot win over those neutral royal family members, she should at least leave a good impression on them. Others think that the Empress is arrogant and looks down on others.
The huge branches of the Wuyang royal family and the many cultivation families within the country are all considerable forces. If Xiaojiu continues to maintain such social relationships, the crown prince's position will be unstable.
The emperor hates forming factions for personal gain, but is also afraid that his future crown prince will be isolated and helpless. What a contradiction.
But the Empress's lineage is different. The Empress's current "nobleness" seems to have been cultivated by herself in the past. All this stems from the confidence he gave the Empress in her early years, but the situation changed later.
But such "noble" character was passed on to the candidates for the imperial reserve.
The emperor looked at the third picture without changing his expression.
Xiaoqi... has been fooled twice, but he is still so confident. He is really a rare child.
Moreover, she inherited the beauty of the imperial concubine.
I learned the art of charm that can make people do what I say.
If he were to become the decision maker, hiss...
Deluded and confident.
Even the emperor didn't dare to think about it.
The noise over there kept interrupting the emperor's thoughts. Although he tolerated it, he would get tired of the meaningless quarrels.
"Enough." The emperor's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it. His eyes were as cold as ice, and he was about to get angry.
The whole audience fell silent.
The metallic clash of the staff held by the monk behind him made everyone's heart tremble.
No one knew who the emperor was going to punish, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Why is your Majesty angry?"
At this moment when everyone was in danger, a penetrating voice sounded. Although it was naturally low, it carried a sharpness that had not been tempered by the years.
When the emperor heard the voice, his eyes turned cold as if a spring breeze had softened the rain, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
"Feng'er!" The Queen recognized him instantly.
The queen cried for joy after not seeing her eldest son for a long time.
A young man with an upright posture, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in a tight suit, stood in the distance. He walked to the stage neither humbly nor arrogantly and saluted neatly.
A knife shrouded in mysterious light was attached to his side, and the scabbard was engraved with fine inscriptions, which made it obvious that it was no ordinary item.
The emperor was reserved, but when he saw that the eldest prince chose to rush back during the medicine-hunting conference, a hint of warmth welled up in his eyes.
The emperor never showed his emotions on his face, so this behavior made others feel alarmed.
"Feng'er is back now, and I am very pleased."
Father? The concubines had never heard the emperor call them that.
This is explicit.
"The succession ceremony is imminent, and the Sect Leader has asked me to represent the sect and present a gift to the future heir of the royal family who will be safe and sound."
The emperor's relieved expression quickly disappeared, and he regained his original dignity, but his eyes kept looking at the eldest prince from head to toe.
The eldest prince's expression was serious. He imitated his master's tone and read out the congratulatory message: "Your Majesty has received the mandate of heaven and has worked diligently to govern the country. I heard that he will establish the foundation of the country. This will be a blessing for the country and the people."
"This is the Qiankun Ding Ding. I will give this item to your country to stabilize the people's hearts. With the immortal artifact entrusted to you, the country will be forever stable."
A square tripod with a mythical beast's face pattern on its abdomen and surrounded by coiled dragons suddenly appeared in the air. The whole space was suddenly filled with solemn, majestic and powerful power.
Is this a magical weapon?
Everyone was shocked that he was so generous with just a casual move.
"Mother, where is my elder brother practicing? Why is his sect leader so generous?"
There was a little prince who had just reached the age to recognize people's colors. He had never seen his eldest brother since he was a child, so he asked naively.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eldest prince say after reading the congratulatory speech:
"I, Shen Yuezi, the disciple of the Kamikaze Sword Hall, am hereby sent by my master to present this gift to your country. May the friendship between your country and our sect last forever, like the flourishing pine and cypress trees."
