114: Perhaps, it's time to head south!

Supervision Office, third floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

Nangong Yu couldn't help but smile faintly as he looked at the countless spirit king pills in the jade plates before him.

"A total of 1090, all of them special-grade spirit king pills. void feather is indeed void feather!"

Nangong Yu smiled faintly. He truly had nothing but praise for void feather's auxiliary Alchemy abilities. A 100% special-grade pill success rate, who else could achieve that?

He took a deep breath and, without hesitation, immediately entered the Time-Space Merchant Guild and sold a thousand spirit king pills.

After obtaining 180 billion points, he decisively purchased another 900 portions of spirit king pill Spirit Medicine!

With the Furnace-Destroying Sacred Fire and void feather's assistance, the Alchemy time was greatly reduced. It wasn't even noon yet, and refining two more batches wouldn't be a problem!

Nangong Yu didn't hesitate and immediately started Alchemy again, refining all 900 portions of Spirit Medicine simultaneously... While Nangong Yu was busy with Alchemy, the Qingyou Empire's morning court session had also concluded!

However, two pieces of news quickly spread throughout Qingyou Imperial City, shocking countless citizens.

The officials from The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families in court were found to have deceived their superiors, embezzled funds, and accepted bribes. Their official ranks were stripped, and they were confined to their homes for half a year.

The Second Prince, Nangong Jinglin, instigated others to insult the imperial family's dignity. He was confined to his Prince's Residence for half a year and had hisSalary (salary) withheld for half a year!

As soon as these two pieces of news spread, the people in the Imperial City understood His Majesty's intentions.

Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu, is not to be touched!

Upon learning this news, everyone looked towards The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families, intending to watch their downfall.

However, within The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families, it was a different scene entirely.

Upon receiving the news, the members of the three families couldn't help but show despair. They had been abandoned by Nangong Aotian.

All because those three unfilial descendants had offended Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu!

The highest cultivation of anyone in the three families was only Divine Combination Realm. How could they contend with the Zhenbei Army?

For a time, the three families were shrouded in gloom, wishing they could kill those unfilial descendants.

But they couldn't!

Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu, said he wanted the three's lives, so they couldn't end them prematurely. Not only could they not, but they also had to protect them!

Now, they could only hope that Nangong Yu would be merciful and not slaughter their entire families... Northern Border, Fuguang City.

A monstrous aura of Evil Qi swept across the sky, causing the firmament to change color and startling the people of Fuguang City, who all looked up.

"What is that?"

"Such terrifying Evil Qi! Such terrifying killing intent!"

"My heavens, could it be a peerless fierce demonic Cultivator passing by?"

"No way, even the fiercest demonic Cultivator wouldn't have such a dense aura of Evil Qi!"

"Stop guessing, it's the Zhenbei Army!"

"Zhenbei Army!?"

Everyone looked up, only to see three thousand soldiers in blood-red clothes and silver armor, wielding fierce long spears and swords, approaching through the air!

In front of them, a military banner fluttered in the wind, its Evil Qi soaring to the heavens!

"It really is the Zhenbei Army. What are they doing?"

"Indeed, three thousand Zhenbei Army soldiers have been dispatched, but this isn't the border!"

"Perhaps, they are heading south!"

"Heading south..."

Someone murmured, recalling that rumor.

"The Zhenbei Army has received military orders and is truly heading south, towards Qingyou Imperial City!"

"From the looks of it, they seem to be planning to use a teleportation array to reduce travel time!"

Many who knew what happened in Qingyou Imperial City last night had their eyes subtly shift.

And those common folk, seeing the Zhenbei Army who once guarded the Northern Border with the Prince of Zhenbei, all had tears in their eyes and knelt on one knee.

"We greet the Zhenbei Army!"

"We greet the Zhenbei Army!"

...

The lingering voices were endless, resounding over Fuguang City, causing the Zhenbei Army to pause slightly.

They glanced down, their eyes subtly shifting, but they continued to move forward.

At the same time, messages were sent from Fuguang City, quickly spreading throughout Qingyou Imperial City, and even to some people across the Qingyou Empire.

The Zhenbei Army truly headed south!

...Qingyou Imperial City.

Knowing that the Zhenbei Army had reached Fuguang City, countless people's eyes subtly shifted, their expressions complex and hard to discern.

Some were terrified!

Some were joyful!

Some were wary!

And The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families were truly numb at this moment.

A roar came from the Lin Family, "Someone, drag that rebellious son out, hang him outside the gate and whip him, but don't let him die!"

They were confined, so even if they wanted to send someone to the Prince's Residence to apologize, it was too late.

At this moment, Lin Xiao wished that time could turn back, to when that rebellious son was born. He would have strangled him then, to prevent him from bringing disaster to the Lin Family!

Even returning to last night would be fine!

He shouldn't have hesitated; he should have taken the person to the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence to apologize!

Alas, everything was too late!

Similar to the Lin Family were the Zhang and Wang families; their entire residences were filled with gloom and a spreading sense of despair!

...Inside the Supervision Office.

Nangong Yu naturally didn't know what was happening outside. At this moment, he had already refined another batch of spirit king pills!

Looking at the spirit king pills before him, Nangong Yu couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Indeed!"

"void feather is truly effective for Alchemy!"

"Nine thousand special-grade spirit king pills, this time I've really hit the jackpot!"

Nangong Yu didn't hesitate and directly sold nine thousand spirit king pills to the Time-Space Merchant Guild, obtaining 1.62 trillion points.

Watching the Time-Space Merchant Guild vibrate, with countless more glazed shelves appearing, Nangong Yu couldn't help but smile faintly.

His figure flashed, and he directly exchanged for a World Divine Stone.

Afterward, he came to the glazed shelf where Spiritual Roots were placed.

Indeed!

After the Time-Space Merchant Guild opened its fourth floor, the highest Spiritual Root available for exchange was Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Heavenly Spiritual Root!

The strongest Spiritual Root below a Saint Spiritual Root. It is said that if a person with a Heavenly Spiritual Root does not die young, they can become a Dao Entry Realm Cultivator, and there's even a faint possibility of reaching Dao Venerable Realm!

Even in the Sacred Domain, Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators are Prodigies, seeds that major forces contend for!

Of course, Earthly Spiritual Root is also!

According to the records in the Cultivator's Common Sense Compendium, those with Supreme-grade Spiritual Roots have a chance to enter the Half-Saint Realm, becoming pillars of a faction, with a lifespan of a hundred million years!

Earthly Spiritual Roots have a faint possibility of breaking through to the Dao Entry Realm, becoming a great power, living as long as heaven and earth!

"Heavenly Spiritual Root! I can prepare one for Mother first, and then we'll see if there's anything better!"

Nangong Yu murmured, beginning to search for suitable Spiritual Roots for his mother and Qing Ling!

Fusing a Spiritual Root doesn't mean replacing a Spiritual Root!

There are many people on the Xuanling Continent with dual Spiritual Roots, triple Spiritual Roots, or even multiple Spiritual Roots. His mother, Shangguan Yuexi, doesn't need to abandon her original Supreme-grade Wind Spiritual Root.

Of course, the more Spiritual Roots one possesses, the greater the difficulty of Cultivation will be, which is unavoidable.

However, Nangong Yu wasn't worried about this. Fusing a Heavenly Spiritual Root for his mother would not only not increase her Cultivation difficulty, but would actually make her Cultivation much easier due to the appearance of the Heavenly Spiritual Root!

Moreover, having an additional Spiritual Root means an additional choice for Spirit Technique Cultivation, which would increase her life-saving methods significantly.

Nangong Yu walked before the glazed shelves, beginning to choose among the various Heavenly Spiritual Roots!

It was at this moment that he narrowed his eyes, his gaze suddenly falling upon the Spiritual Root on the adjacent shelf.
