Chapter 166 Heading to Beishan
"It only requires a drop of essence blood, not its life. How could we not get it?"
"As the immortals know, my Yan clan almost perished before, and is currently in the early stages of recovery. The Silver Snow Fox clan has always lived in seclusion, so they are arrogant towards outsiders. We can't defeat them, so there's nothing we can do..."
Liu Jun remained silent for a while before replying, "I'm a bit tired from traveling today. Tomorrow, please lead me to the Silver Snow Fox's camp."
Yan Zhong's face lit up with joy, but he asked again, somewhat uncertainly, "Immortal, are you going to personally obtain the essence blood of the Kun Demon Phoenix?"
"Yes, Xiao Yan's matter has been delayed long enough. Tomorrow, once I get the materials, I will start refining the Li Gen Zi Gui Dan. It should be completed in a few days."
Yan Zhong, along with Yan Qifeng, bowed deeply to Liu Jun again, expressing their immense gratitude: "Thank you so much, Immortal Qingjun, for saving our son. Otherwise, he might have been ruined for the rest of his life. Our Yan family truly owes you a tremendous debt of gratitude!"
Liu Jun offered a helping hand to the two of them, saying, "No need for that. Since we said we would help, we will help them to the end."
"Xiao Yan's health is getting weaker and weaker. She should avoid going out in the wind these days and stay in the palace. She should also avoid going near places where there is wind."
"This is a medicinal liquid that helps repair the dantian. From today until the day I refine the Li Gen Zi Gui Dan, add a few drops to warm water and soak for two hours each day. You don't need to add too much, just two or three drops each time is enough."
"However... this process will be very painful, can you bear it?"
Liu Jun looked at Yan Qifeng gently, still holding the things in front of him, waiting for him to take them.
After hearing this, Yan Qifeng took the item from her hand without hesitation, gave a faint smile, and glanced at it again.
"It's only two hours, it's no big deal."
Liu Jun looked at him and slightly opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything more.
This kind of pain is nothing to someone with cultivation, but for someone like him whose dantian has been destroyed, it's... even more painful than having his collarbone pierced.
Well, now that things have come to this, Liu Jun didn't want to say any more pointless words of advice. After handing over the items, he turned to Yan Zhong beside him and asked:
"Is my place still the same as before?"
"Yes, if the immortal is not satisfied, I can have them change it immediately!"
"Alright, then I'll go back and rest first. Xiao Yan, you should also go back and take a medicinal bath as soon as possible. Tomorrow... at 9:00 AM, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor may come and summon me."
"Yes."
After the two respectfully saw Liu Jun off, Yan Zhong finally relaxed a little and patted Yan Qifeng's shoulder again, full of excitement:
"Son, this time there's really hope! Sigh, I was worried that Immortal Qingjun might just leave like that. After all, no one can predict the future of someone like her. But I'm in a good mood today. Come on! I'll take you to see the two new demon beasts we caught!"
Yan Qifeng impatiently removed his hand and glared at him.
"Old man, I'm just a mortal now. Can you please not be so rough with me every time? Didn't you hear what Qingjun... the immortal said? I need to go back and take a medicinal bath!"
"Yes, yes, you need to hurry back and soak it. It takes two hours, you can't afford to waste time!"
Yan Zhong hurriedly pushed the person back to his room, quickly got everything ready, and soaked the person in hot water before he felt relieved. He didn't rush to leave but instead stayed to watch over the person.
A year or so was enough time for Yan Qifeng to get used to eating, bathing, and sleeping like an ordinary person, so taking a bath was nothing special.
At first, the bath didn't feel strange, but after a few minutes, his body felt like it was being roasted on a fire one moment and then falling into an ice cave the next.
And then there's that area in my dantian. I didn't feel anything there before, but now it hurts like being cut by a knife, and it's like being cut by a dull knife, endlessly tormenting my body and will.
Every minute and every second was incredibly difficult to endure, but he couldn't go out. This was only the first day, and if he couldn't even get through the first day, there was no point in continuing.
……
Liu Jun fell asleep again today, which made her very happy. She also had a good appetite and ate almost half of the food that her fox servant brought her.
After she finished eating, it was almost time when someone from the front hall called her over.
One second he came to call for someone, and the next second Liu Jun appeared in the front hall. Yan Zhong was used to it, so he bowed as usual and led the person to the terrace.
Outside the terrace, a flying machine-like object was already parked, with dozens of fox soldiers waiting nearby, seemingly ready to accompany them. Yan Zhong gestured for them to go up.
Liu Jun glanced around, then waved his hand and said coldly, "No need."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a normal-sized, blackish-red snake appeared beside him.
Yan Zhong was immediately confused. What was this all about?
"Little snake, get to work."
"Seriously, I've only been lying down for a short while and I already have to work again!"
The little snake complained as usual, but this time it quickly changed its form and coiled itself on the top of the Li Hu Palace, obediently stretching its head in front of them to wait for them to go up.
Even someone like Yan Zhong was taken aback by the sudden increase in size of the creature, and the fox soldiers were so shocked that they immediately drew their swords.
"Eat, eat the Youjiao?"
"Hmph, you have good taste. Where did these weaklings come from? I may have a good temper, but not everyone can sit on my head! You're not going to make them all come up here, are you?"
"There's no need to bring the fox soldiers. I'll go with you, and you can show the little snake the way."
These words were spoken to Yan Zhong.
"Alright, alright, the speed of the Devouring Dragon is indeed much faster than these pieces of junk. It was my presumption that made the decision."
Yan Zhong dared not disobey, but he still knew very little about Liu Jun, mostly from rumors circulating outside.
Everyone said that her alchemy skills were superb, and that her master was a sword cultivator, so she could also wield a sword, but no one knew how skilled she was. Yan Zhong thought she just had many ways to protect herself and was very rich. Who knew she actually had a contracted beast? That was already outrageous enough, but what was even more outrageous was yet to come.
The two of them flew to the territory of the Silver Snow Fox clan in the North Mountain in less than half a day on the Devouring Flood Dragon. Yan Zhong was about to get down and greet them politely when he was stopped by Liu Jun, who was sitting a little behind him. Liu Jun then patted the Devouring Flood Dragon and said, "Find the Kun Demon Phoenix."
"Alright, its scent is everywhere in the mountains, finding it shouldn't be difficult."
"Roar!!!"
The little snake didn't even need to move; it simply roared at the North Mountain and then waited quietly.
In less than three seconds, a long howl was heard, and hundreds of people flew out, followed by a phoenix-like firebird that was about the same size as the little snake.
Liu Jun stared speechlessly at the angry group of people and a bird flying towards them, strongly suspecting that the little snake had done it on purpose.
"What did you just do?"
The little snake was very proud: "It's nothing, it just made a provocative noise, but the effect is obvious, isn't it?"
Liu Jun's eyes twitched: "Spirit stones and demon cores reduced by half!"
"Why?!"
"What did you say?"
"Hmph! You said you'd find that chicken, but you didn't say how. Now it's out, isn't it? I don't care! Not a single spirit stone or demon core will be taken away!"
"You've gone too far! We'll detain you, and if you keep pushing us, none of you will survive!"
"Why!"
"Just because I'm your master! You're so spoiled!"
"Believe it or not, I'll change back right now!"
"If you dare to change, I'll immediately stew you into snake soup!"
The little snake's momentum noticeably weakened: "You damn woman, why are you being so fierce..."
The world where Yan Chong, huddled in a corner watching the man and snake argue heatedly, was injured was finally achieved. He'd truly never seen anything like it before!
"Um... Immortal, how about we deal with the immediate matter first..."
Liu Jun gave him a cold glare, and the group of people in front of him also looked at him with displeasure.
"I've come today only to take a drop of the Kun Demon Phoenix's essence blood. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me if I accidentally go too far!"
An elderly man, leading the crowd, wielding a cane, lashed out and struck with it in displeasure, displaying the imposing presence of an elder.
"Yan Zhong, what do you mean! Our clan has never been involved in outside affairs, nor have we ever had any grudges with you. And now you've brought some wild girl from who-knows-where to cause trouble on our territory. Do you not even want to abide by the rules set by the former Demon Emperor?!"
Holy crap! What did that guy just say?
What did he just say?!
Yan Zhong suddenly looked at Liu Jun, who was still angry, and swallowed hard. He then looked back and forth between Liu Jun and the Silver Fox Elder who had spoken earlier. His mind went blank for a while before he remembered to stand up and stop what was about to happen.
But he had only taken half a step when he heard a sneer from the person next to him, and Yan Zhong immediately felt that everything was over.
Oh no, it's hopeless!
