221: Chapter 221 The Northern Abyss Dynasty, the Great Secret Realm

The atmosphere froze.

Feng Yange sighed heavily, looking at Bai Jiuxiao's expression, which was on the verge of tears, "Now we are even poorer."

"Mistress, we are not poor." Mo Yuan shook his storage ring, "After you fell into a coma, Jun Chen and I went to collect all the Spirit Stone mines at the Peak of the Snow Mountain. Both our storage rings are full."

Jun Chen nodded, "I estimate there are tens of millions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Feng Yange's eyes lit up. She wanted to lean over to take a look, but she was afraid that just by looking, they would disappear.

"It is fortunate that Mistress was in a coma. Otherwise, if we had given them to Mistress back then, they would probably have all turned into powder by now." As soon as Ling Feng spoke, everyone's gaze turned to him, filled with a warning.

"Ling Feng is right. It is fortunate that you didn't give them all to me. However, it is basically certain now that I am not suitable to have Spirit Stones for the time being. It should be related to that influx of spiritual power. I have to wait until my body stops absorbing Spirit Stones before we can talk about it."

She didn't know how much more Spiritual Qi her body needed to absorb to be satisfied.

"Mistress, try absorbing the Spirit Stones inside to see how you react." Li Mingye handed Feng Yange a storage ring, "I took this from the Spirit Stone mine at the Peak of the Snow Mountain. There are about five million Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Feng Yange took the Spirit Stones. The Spirit Stones inside the storage ring were instantly absorbed and turned into a pile of ash, yet her body showed no changes at all. They had all been cleansed, but there was no change.

"My body is like a bottomless pit right now. The absorbed Spiritual Qi is not stored anywhere. Before I find a solution, don't let me touch any Spirit Stones. I don't want to go bankrupt." Feng Yange felt heartbroken; five million Top-Grade Spirit Stones were gone just like that.

"Mistress, if the Spirit Stones are gone, we can earn more. As long as your body is fine, that's all that matters." This was the first time Li Mingye had possessed so many Spirit Stones, but even though it was fleeting, he didn't feel a shred of heartache.

"Is there a possibility that it's related to that phrase?"

Yue Lan's fingers gently toyed with the storage ring on his fingertip. There were no Spirit Stones in his storage ring, but it did contain many treasures. If Spirit Stones were truly needed, the things in his possession could be exchanged for many of them.

"The Five Elements flow in, all things open!" Feng Yange's eyes lit up, "It must be that I am still missing the earth spirit pearl. When I was Cultivating last time, my Sea of Consciousness lacked the earth attribute, so the flow was not smooth. Perhaps if I find the earth spirit pearl, I won't keep absorbing Spiritual Qi."

Feng Yange figured it out and stopped worrying about the Spirit Stones. The Spirit Stones they had were enough for her to squander. If worse came to worst, she could just sell some Medicinal Pills, and she wouldn't lack Spirit Stones.

"After we find the earth spirit pearl, why don't we find a Spiritual Vein and let Mistress absorb it to see how much Spiritual Qi is needed to fill it?" Long Ze looked at the information he had found on the Jade Slip, "If one isn't enough, we'll just find a few more."

"Let's find the earth spirit pearl first. Let's wait until the five elements spirit beads are gathered to try Cultivating. If I really must absorb enough Spiritual Qi, then we will find a Spiritual Vein." Feng Yange walked to Long Ze's side and leaned into his arms, "A-Ze, come sleep with me for a while. I'm still so sleepy."

Long Ze agreed, and the others tactfully exited the room.

Beiyuan Dynasty

The flying boat arrived near the Beiyuan Dynasty and landed. Here, humans and beast-folk intermingled. Often, for the convenience of travel, humans would find beast-folk they liked, but not every one of their beast husbands had a perfect human form; some still retained obvious beast-folk characteristics.

Feng Yange brought them into the Beiyuan Dynasty. With ten handsome men following her, she instantly attracted the gazes of countless people. Feng Yange was wearing a beast-person outfit made of red feathers; she was stunning, flamboyant, tall, and both beautiful and cool.

"Our group is likely to be targeted by appearing like this." These men of hers were all born as handsome Prodigies, and their figures were top-notch. Women stared blankly at them, and the men's gazes were the same.

Long Ze followed by Feng Yange's side with an expressionless face, completely indifferent to the gazes cast by others. Unlike Bai Jiuxiao and Xuan Li, these two had completely let themselves go, looking here and there, very excited.

"Mistress, should I use a Disguise Pill?" Ling Feng took out a pill and wanted to stuff it into his mouth, but was stopped by Feng Yange, "What are you eating? We are this good-looking based on our own ability, why should we hide it?"

She just felt that it might attract trouble, but it was also a calling card.

Sure enough, someone soon targeted them.

While Feng Yange was dining at an inn, she saw a woman walk over and bow to her, "Pardon the intrusion, I would like to ask, are all these beast husbands of yours naturally transformed into human form? Have they ever taken a shape-shifting pill?"

Feng Yange looked at the man following behind her, who was handsome but still retained beast ears and a beast tail. Feng Yange smiled faintly, "Naturally, it was a shape-shifting pill."

Her eyes were full of surprise, and she excitedly grabbed Feng Yange's hands, "Where did you buy the shape-shifting pill? Is there a channel?"

"Are there no shape-shifting pills for sale here?" Feng Yange saw her shake her head and looked shocked, "A Beiyuan Dynasty this big actually has no shape-shifting pills for sale?"

"To tell you the truth, there are many marriages between beast-folk and humans in the Beiyuan Dynasty, but shape-shifting pills are pitifully scarce. Ordinary people simply cannot buy them."

Feng Yange smelled a business opportunity. She glanced around and asked in a low voice, "How many Spirit Stones does one shape-shifting pill cost?"

"A Low Grade shape-shifting pill costs one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones and can achieve a complete transformation. A High Grade shape-shifting pill costs one million Top-Grade Spirit Stones and can allow a beast-folk to transform into their youngest and most handsome appearance. After most beast-folk naturally transform, if they are born good-looking, they will buy a Low Grade shape-shifting pill. If they don't look good, they will buy a High Grade shape-shifting pill."

This price was actually quite a bit cheaper than among the beast-folk.

Feng Yange asked some more questions about Medicinal Pills, and she answered them all.

There were a few Alchemists in the Beiyuan Dynasty, but the highest level of Medicinal Pills they could refine were upper-middle grade. They could refine ordinary, low-level Medicinal Pills, but they had never succeeded with high-difficulty Medicinal Pills like the spirit cleansing pill; a single pill was hard to find.

In the Beiyuan Dynasty, as long as one was an Alchemist, they could enter the palace to meet the monarch, become a guest of honor of the Beiyuan Dynasty, and could even enter the Great Secret Realm near the Beiyuan Dynasty.

The Great Secret Realm contained many rare treasures, but it was extremely dangerous. The condition for entry required cultivation above the Spirit Emperor Realm. Moreover, after the Secret Realm opened, how much one could obtain depended entirely on their own ability, and life or death was not guaranteed.

"Mistress, it has no value," Yue Lan whispered from the side, implying there was no need to waste time on this human.

"By the way, I heard there are many spirit beads in the Great Secret Realm, but no one has ever obtained one."

Feng Yange's eyes lit up and then dimmed; if no one had ever obtained one, then the probability of them appearing was not high.

[Host, the keyword "spirit beads" has been detected. The System has already searched for information related to the Great Secret Realm for you. Please review it, Host.]

Feng Yange looked at the information provided on the System panel, slapped the table, and stood up in excitement. She looked at the woman in front of her with a fervent gaze, "I want to go to the Great Secret Realm. Can you take me to see the Emperor? I will trade a shape-shifting pill with you!"
