864: Chapter 865 The "Honest" Wild Demon Azure Dragon

Buzz—!

A strange medicinal power, cool as moonlight, mellow as fine wine, yet vast as the starry sky, rushed straight through his nostrils into his Sea of Consciousness! His Primordial Spirit, which had become somewhat sluggish and bore fine cracks due to Bloodline mutation, actually emitted a supremely comfortable hum under the nourishment of this medicinal power! An unprecedented sense of clarity and stability welled up within him!

Just a wisp of pill fragrance had such miraculous effects?!

The a mythical beast abruptly tightened the bottle stopper, his face flushed with excitement, the previous heartache instantly replaced by wild joy! What compensation was this? This was clearly a heaven-sent Opportunity! With this Medicinal Pill, he could definitely—

Countless thoughts instantly flashed through his mind: go to the main family of the True Hou Imperial Clan and trade with those ancient ones whose Lifespan was nearing its end and whose Primordial Spirit was withered! Or go to the Heavenly Fox Clan, the Zhu Yan Clan... how many top-tier resource-producing areas were under the control of those factions?! This pill was the golden key to unlocking their treasuries! Forget the few medicinal ingredients on the list—even if he had to give twice as much, he would still consider it worth it!

Thump!

The a mythical beast no longer hesitated in the slightest. He deeply bowed to Yao Delong, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:

"Thank you for your generous gift, my lord! This pill... this pill is as good as a rebirth for this little Hou! If my lord has any orders, this Sky-Splitting will not shirk even ten thousand deaths!" This time, his reverence carried even more genuine excitement and gratitude from the bottom of his heart! He roared inwardly: 'Struck gold! This is a massive win!'

Just then, Xue Li, who had been lying on the soft couch munching on Spiritual Plants, seemed attracted by the wisp of pill fragrance that had momentarily escaped. Her glassy big eyes curiously looked at the jade bottle in Sky-Splitting's hand, and her little nose couldn't help but twitch again... Seeing this, the a mythical beast gave a startled jolt and hurriedly clutched the jade bottle tightly to his chest, eyeing Xue Li warily. This little ancestor must not be allowed to wreak havoc again! This pill was more valuable than his life!

Xue Li pouted slightly, seemingly not very interested in the pill, and went back to devouring her Spiritual Plants.

Yao Delong watched Sky-Splitting's miserly demeanor and Xue Li's carefree eating, then picked up his wine cup. The purpose of this trip was already mostly accomplished. He only needed to wait for the Savage Demon Green Dragon to bring the remaining medicinal ingredients.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Urgent sounds of breaking wind came from outside the great hall.

The figure of the Savage Demon Green Dragon appeared at the entrance. He held in both hands a huge wooden tray made of ten-thousand-year-old gloomy wood, emitting dense spatial fluctuations. On the tray were neatly arranged five High Grade jade boxes, each glowing with flowing light and exuding distinct auras! Every jade box radiated a heart-palpitating medicinal power fluctuation!

The a mythical beast's gaze fell on that wooden tray, especially when he saw those five bulging jade boxes, his heart gave a violent twinge! 'You damned Azure Dragon! Usually you seem honest and simple—why are you so sincere today?!'

He felt as if his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were being gouged out one after another! He had originally thought that for the items on the list, he could symbolically pick the lowest-year and smallest-quantity ones to give as a token gesture... But this Azure Dragon fellow had practically emptied the storeroom?! This setup clearly meant he had dug up every medicinal ingredient Sky-Splitting had on the list, roots and soil included!

a mythical beast's face instantly turned as black as a pot bottom, but he dared not show it. He could only secretly shoot Azure Dragon a murderous glare! Feeling his king's "affectionate" gaze, Azure Dragon shrank his neck, inwardly lamenting: 'My king! This subordinate was afraid that taking too little would displease that Baleful Star, and he'd come back to tear down our Blood Hou Palace!'

Yao Delong's eyes swept over the five jade boxes, and he was also slightly moved. He hadn't expected Sky-Splitting to produce much, but this display... was an unexpected delight.

"Present them," Yao Delong said lightly.

Azure Dragon hurriedly offered up the wooden tray. Yao Delong lightly flicked his sleeve, and the five jade boxes floated as if lifted by an invisible hand, landing steadily on the long table before him.

Click.

The first jade box opened with a sound!

An icy, bone-chilling yet pure aura, as if capable of freezing the Divine Soul, instantly spread throughout the room! Inside the box lay two pitch-black Spiritual Plants with nine leaves, their blades flowing with Dark blue soul light—nine yin soul condensing grass! And both were over five thousand years old!

The second jade box opened.

A heavy, majestic aura, as if bearing the earth's dragon veins, explosively diffusion! Inside the box were two bottles of thick, magma-like liquid emitting a dark golden luster, with what seemed like dragon shadows swimming within—earth vein dragon marrow! Extremely pure!

The third jade box opened.

An overwhelmingly dense Death Qi intertwined with a strange vitality! Three exotic flowers shaped like night-blooming cereus, with petals carved like dark jade and stamen flickering with specks of eerie green ghost fire, quietly bloomed—Styx Nether Epiphyllum! This flower only grows in places rich with Netherworld Death Qi and is extremely difficult to harvest!

The fourth jade box opened.

A pure, scorching fire spirit power, as if capable of burning through the Void Realm, A rush of air! Inside were neatly arranged ten lotus seeds resembling carved rubies, each containing a leaping golden flame within—Earth Core Fire Lotus Seed! And each one far exceeded the years of those Xue Li had been snacking on earlier, with Spiritual Qi contained within and flowing light—perfect main ingredients for refining Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pills!

When the final jade box opened, even Yao Delong couldn't help but narrow his pupils slightly!

The box held no dazzling light, only five seemingly ordinary flowers with slender petals but an Extremely eerie blood-red color. They lay quietly there, yet emitted a strange dao rhyme that tugged at life and death, connecting with the Netherworld! Around the flowers, space seemed to slightly distort, and faint whispers of dead souls could be heard—Yellow Springs Amaryllis! And five of them with perfect Condition and极深 years!

Yao Delong's gaze swept over the five jade boxes, especially the ten Earth Core Fire Lotus Seed and five Yellow Springs Amaryllis, gaining a new understanding of Sky-Splitting's wealth. This fellow had indeed plundered quite a bit! He nodded slightly and offered rare praise:

"Sky-Splitting, these Spirit Medicines and treasures of yours are all High Grade in years and Condition, Just right."

Hearing the words " Just right," a mythical beast's heart ached again, but his face was filled with an "honored" smile: "Hehe, if my lord can use them, that is this little Hou's greatest blessing! These are all this little Hou's Bottom-of-the-box inventory. If they can be of use to you, my lord, that is their good fortune!" His tone was utterly sincere, as if he hadn't been the one heartbroken and wanting to kill someone moments earlier.

Yao Delong waved his sleeve, storing the five jade boxes along with their treasures into his storage ring. The goal of this trip was mostly achieved: five of the nine main medicinal ingredients had been obtained. Combined with previous gains, only the nine nether earth core milk was currently limited to one portion. Maintaining his composure, he said, "Very well. After traveling for days, this seat is somewhat weary. Arrange a quiet residence."

a mythical beast felt as if granted amnesty, eager to send off this Baleful Star quickly lest he remember any other treasures! He immediately waved away the beautiful dancers still trying to exude charm: "All of you, withdraw! Quickly withdraw!" Then he personally led Yao Delong and Xue Li, who was clutching the last few Spiritual Plants Refusing to let go, away from the noisy great hall.
