Chapter 119 A Pack of Wolves Annihilated
After returning from the small garden, Song Chi activated his "Task Master" mode and went to the small barrier in the east courtyard to water the spiritual plants with music.
Among the two smaller protective barriers, one was planted with the familiar Guest True Dragon Grass. She had actually picked and stored many of these in her storage ring, but here she planted another batch around the spring. Perhaps she figured only the freshest would work? Anyway, she decided to water it first.
The other plant is a scarlet grass called the Phoenix Grass, which can only stimulate the Phoenix Clan's true bloodline when it blooms into a bright red Phoenix Flower.
Both types of grass require three months of alternating watering with the five elements' musical rhythms to truly mature. The musical pieces are all provided by the Golden Scroll.
As for the eager looks from the Dragon and Phoenix clan elders, who wished she would simply grant them some true blood dragons and phoenixes, that was practically impossible. Whether it would succeed depended on the capabilities of their descendants. She was, at best, just a facilitator.
For the next three months, she either meditated and sought enlightenment or watered her spiritual plants; she didn't even leave the house.
The others were fine, but Venerable Xueqiao felt that these Venerables of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, who were at least seven or eight hundred years old, were all so impatient. Seeing that Song Chi hadn't even left his house in March, they were all so anxious that they paced back and forth on the beach every evening, like restless chickens. He and the other Venerables felt that they should at least wait until these dragon sons and phoenix grandsons established a connection with the Dragon Pool Phoenix Fire before they could take any further steps.
Sure enough, three months later, as the dragon princes and phoenix grandsons entered meditation one by one, the gates of the Holy Origin Immortal Mansion finally opened.
Song Chi, dressed in white, strolled out with an air of nonchalance. However, she simply walked around the two barriers with her hands behind her back, as if she were a farmer checking the growth of her crops. After that, she did nothing and went back inside.
This made the Venerables of the Dragon and Phoenix clans wring their hands anxiously, while secretly glancing at Venerable Xueqiao. They probably wanted him to urge Song Chi, but Venerable Xueqiao ignored them. That girl always did things methodically; he trusted her. There was no need to urge her.
Sure enough, three days later, Song Chi went out again with an air of nonchalance. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and went back inside.
Song Chi spotted Su Yu at the door immediately. Seeing the handprint on his neck, she was speechless for a moment before going back inside and washing her hands thoroughly twice. She had previously picked and extracted the spiritual essence from two different spiritual herbs to test their maturity. Although she had washed her hands, she went back to wash them again to prevent the incident from jeopardizing her reputation. This time, however, these were living, breathing people; she only needed to tell them to open their mouths to administer the True Dragon Grass juice, so she didn't need to use a tube.
But to be on the safe side, she should wash her hands several more times.
However, it's still uncertain whether they can successfully administer the blood today. This is because activating the Dragon-Phoenix True Blood requires extreme pain, the most intense of which is the agony of love, with the others being secondary. This time is different from Su Yu's experience; he swallowed a drop of ancient, powerful dragon blood, so his meridians were completely unable to withstand the impact of that immense, bull-like power. He probably almost died from the pain that time.
This time, the Dragon Pool Phoenix Fire is more gentle, using a nourishing method to establish a connection with these dragon sons and phoenix grandsons over three months. It is like a gentle mother's hand, so naturally, one cannot feel pain.
Now, it's all up to fate. Whoever is a romantic at heart and currently suffering from heartbreak is likely to awaken the Dragon-Phoenix True Blood. If not, are they expecting her to torture them...? That would be too inhumane. Who knows, they might rebel against tyranny and attack her, and she'd be outnumbered...
In short, let's ask who's currently experiencing heartbreak. Ji Ningche is probably the most likely candidate. He has the face of a tragic second male lead, and he's probably suffering from an illicit affair.
However… Song Chi felt that Su Xi was likely a tough nut to crack. This guy never seemed to love any women; his only passion was power, and he even tried to seize the throne from Su Yu. This kind of person didn't seem like he could have a heart. Troublesome.
After washing her hands and leaving the house, she immediately set her sights on Su Xi at the second Dragon Pool.
As soon as she crouched down, not only did Su Xi immediately open her eyes, but everyone else in the Dragon Pool, including those from the Phoenix Fire Land opposite, all turned to look at her, including the group of powerful onlookers outside the barrier. The Venerables of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, in particular, were so excited that some started shaking their hands and others took a few steps forward. It was truly unbelievable.
Song Chi stared at Su Xi.
"I have a spiritual medicine that can activate the blood of a true dragon, but there is a condition."
Su Xi immediately waved his hand, and a small mountain of top-grade spirit crystals appeared on the shore. He spoke in a tone of great wealth and arrogance, "Just name what you want."
Song Chi was speechless for a moment, wondering what had gotten into his mind.
"It's not a matter of money or possessions, but rather your own condition. To activate the medicinal properties of this elixir, it must be done under conditions of extreme pain."
Seeing this, Su Xi glanced at her, then put away the spirit crystal with an expression that said, "You don't seem like someone who doesn't love money," and asked.
"Extreme pain? Pain in any sense?" he asked.
That hits the nail on the head. "The best scenario is one of heartbreak!"
After hearing this, Su Xi thought for a moment, then answered decisively, "I don't have that kind of thing!"
The Third Elder of the Dragon Clan opposite them was already so angry that he raised his hand, his beard almost flying up. He looked like he was about to come in and beat someone up. Su Xi seemed to be the Third Elder's great-grandson. Su Yu, standing to the side, lightly touched his forehead, probably knowing a little about his younger brother's personality.
"Besides that, extreme pain is also acceptable?" Su Xi ignored those questions and continued to ask.
Song Chi nodded. Only Su Xi, even for the sake of completing the mission, felt that she should fight him until he was in pain, or feed him some of the new poison pills from her brother... That was exactly what she was thinking.
Su Xi nodded. "Okay, I understand!"
Then, in the next instant, Su Xi's short sword appeared in his hand and pierced through the chest and abdomen with a thud. Moreover, he seemed to know where the internal organs hurt the most, as he stabbed through the liver with a single blow…
A surge of passion still lingered on Song Chi's face; she simply couldn't believe that Su Xi was such a ruthless killer.
"Looks like it's not enough!" Su Xi said, her face pale, before stabbing his heart with a knife and then quickly stabbing his spleen with another.
The final blow was likely aimed at his dantian. Song Chi snapped out of his daze, "Wait, wait a minute, I'll get out of here!"
Unable to stop her, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Su Xi almost knocked herself unconscious with a single palm strike.
Song Chi was speechless and frantically clutched his head with both hands. "Enough, enough, stop it!" If this continues, this kid might stab himself to death.
"Open your mouth, open your mouth now!" She quickly formed the True Dragon Grass into a spiritual liquid in her hand. Because Su Xi was about to faint again and unable to swallow, in her haste, she successfully left two blue finger marks on the boy's throat. Damn it, that hand was wasted.
True Dragon Grass is a great tonic for dragons. After Su Xi swallowed the medicine, her swords and blades instantly fell out of her body. Then, a burst of golden light surged up from the entire pool, and a majestic golden dragon with a winding body rushed straight up.
The dragon aura moved the dragon venerables on the shore to tears, especially the Third Elder, whose eyes were brimming with tears. "I knew this child was promising, a good child indeed!"
But Song Chi advised them not to be too happy yet, as the dragon's shadow was still somewhat faint and there was no dragon's roar. They needed to nurture it in the Dragon Pool for ten or twenty years until a golden dragon, almost tangible, soared into the sky, its roar truly igniting the blood of a true dragon. But at least the first step was complete.
Next, she walked to the third Dragon Pool. This was Su Xi's little uncle, of the same generation as Ji Ningche and Mo Shubai. Song Chi asked him the same question: had he ever suffered heart-wrenching heartbreak? He thought for a moment and only said that he had completely let go ten years ago and no longer had such obsessions.
Then, with a swift motion, he stabbed himself without even flinching. And it was a triple stab, followed by a palm strike to his dantian.
In other words, it seems your dragon race produces ruthless individuals. When Song Chi fed him the True Dragon Grass juice, he had to leave two finger marks, as there was simply no time to wash his hands. This one also had a blue dragon soaring into the sky, further exciting the dragon venerables.
Next up is the fourth Dragon Pool, where Su Xi's younger sister, the Fifth Princess Su Mu. This woman has a cold, aloof expression. Before Su Xi can speak, she launches a three-hit combo at herself, adding a palm strike to her dantian.
Song Chi: "..." Seriously, do all dragons have to be this ruthless?
After Su Mu swallowed the True Dragon Grass, a beautiful little light green dragon flew into the sky. Her face was extremely pale at the time, but she couldn't help but smile when she saw the dragon's shadow. It looked quite beautiful.
As Song Chi walked along, all the dragon princes and princesses turned on her, seemingly ready to stab her in the back. To the uninitiated, she would have looked like a monstrous demon, driving people to their deaths. Yet, the effect was surprisingly good; each of them activated their dragon energy and dragon shadow.
When Song Chi finally reached the red-clad boy, he knelt down. Two tears fell from the boy's eyes, and he secretly wiped them away with his sleeve.
This is the youngest of the two barriers, the only one at the Qi Refining stage. He is currently only fifteen years old and a novice at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining.
Song Chi looked at the boy's rosy lips and white teeth, and his seemingly weak appearance. He thought to himself, "Oh well, there are already so many ahead of me. With proper nurturing, maybe three or five of them will break through to the True Dragon stage." Therefore, he patted the boy's shoulder, "You don't need to push yourself, it's okay."
However, as the young prince turned around, he stabbed her in the heart with a knife and grabbed her sleeve.
Song Chi turned around and saw him crying uncontrollably, his sobs heart-wrenching. It seemed he was afraid of pain, just like her, and probably had very sensitive nerves. In any case, he couldn't compare to those fearless, thick-skinned guys before him. This kid, on the other hand, had a True Dragon Grass spring up with just one cut. Seeing that he was about to cut her again, Song Chi quickly stopped him.
"That's enough, you're not like them."
She spoke without thinking, but those listening on the shore took it differently. The Dragon Clan Venerables, in particular, immediately had their eyes light up as they stared at Su Xi. Then, watching an adorable little fire dragon soar into the air, they felt a surge of excitement; indeed, they had never seen a fire dragon before. Several Venerables whispered among themselves, "This child's name is wrong. How can she be called Su Xi? From now on, she'll be called Su Yan!"
Having completed his mission with the Dragon Clan, Song Chi was covered in blood, looking like an executioner off duty. He wanted to change his clothes to recover, but figured it would be pointless. He figured the Phoenix Clan would probably have to go through a similar ordeal. However, it seemed the Phoenix Clan… had many romantic types, except for someone like Ji Minghuang, so perhaps such a bloody scene wouldn't be necessary to complete the mission.
Her first stop was naturally Ji Ningche, whose face, though seemingly filled with tragic stories, still exuded a profound sense of tale.
“Senior Brother Ning Che, I think you could work on the theme of heartbreak,” she said.
Ji Ningche stared at her for a moment, then chuckled softly. He then promptly stabbed himself.
"Go to hell! You've wasted your face." Next, Ji Ningche unleashed a three-hit combo plus a palm strike, leaving himself on the verge of death. Song Chi naturally fed him the Immortal Phoenix Flower. Suddenly, a golden phoenix soared into the sky, seemingly letting out a soft chirp as it took flight.
Not a single dragon roar came from the Dragon Clan's side. While the Phoenix Clan's Venerables were incredibly excited, they secretly glanced at the Dragon Clan's Venerables. They nearly made the Venerables of the Tai Xuan Immortal Dynasty tremble with anger.
In fact, the Golden Scroll hints: "This person has suffered emotional pain, which makes it easier for them to obtain the blood of the true phoenix."
Then this face is the right one. Sure enough, this person probably has a bitter, secret love affair hidden deep inside; it's not easy for them.
Song Chi patted Ji Ningche on the shoulder before moving on to the next person. The Phoenix Clan was a bit strange; there were more men than women, while the Dragon Clan had more women than men. And these princes and nobles of the Phoenix Clan all had deep, melancholic eyes. Each of them, before turning their backs on her, would give Song Chi a long, intense look. That look made it seem as if she had once cruelly gained their trust and then cruelly abandoned them. How could she have done such a thing?
The good thing is that they all activated their Phoenix True Blood. The last one, a young prince and the second youngest, had just successfully established his foundation. At seventeen or eighteen, he was incredibly youthful and tender. This boy wore a green robe, and while his features were actually quite handsome, his eyes suggested he'd been troublesome since childhood, with a shadowy glint sometimes appearing in them. He'd probably grow up to be a little psychopath like Hua Shalan.
When Song Chi approached him, he raised his hand.
"I can feel extreme pain without surgery!"
Song Chi's interest was piqued. So, this kid's gloomy face probably meant he'd just been dumped. After all, who doesn't experience a bittersweet, unrequited love in their youth, right? Although she hadn't... Anyway, this kid could probably become the ultimate version of the Phoenix True Blood.
But to everyone's surprise, Ji Lanzhou said the next moment, "Fine, I'll just make one cut." He seemed too lazy to say anything more.
But in reality, it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't stabbed her; a phoenix flower had indeed jumped out at that moment. He was probably a heartbroken puppy; even now, pale-faced from the stab, he was still staring at her with a sinister grin. This was the epitome of heartbreak, bordering on madness. She thought to herself, this time there might be a chance.
Song Chi immediately fed Ji Lanzhou the spiritual liquid. Sure enough, a fire phoenix roared into the sky, accompanied by a clear and melodious phoenix cry. This caused the phoenix clan elders to become so excited that their eyes reddened, and they paced back and forth, unable to calm down. After all, this was the second phoenix cry to be heard, and it was even clearer than Ji Ningche's.
Song Chi was immediately a little excited and couldn't help but pat Ji Lanzhou on the shoulder to encourage him, only to be met with a gloomy look and a cold laugh from the boy.
"Well, the heartbroken are the worst off." But the mission was likely to be overachieved, and Song Chi was in a pretty good mood as he walked back with his hands behind his back. However, upon reaching the Holy Spirit Immortal Mansion, he saw that Su Yu and Ji Minghuang had both stabbed him... He was speechless. "You two have already activated your Dragon and Phoenix True Blood, why stab me again?" It was strange, though; the golden dragon and fire phoenix that the two flew up did indeed start off slightly blurry, but by the time they reached the sky, they had gained a radiant, spiritual aura. So, Su Xi, the wolf-destroyer, having absorbed the first stage of the medicinal power, saw this and immediately grabbed a curved blade.
Song Chi had to immediately interrupt his madness and warn the remaining ambitious wolves, "You are injured now, and your true spirit blood has dissipated. Don't blame me." At that time, the Venerables of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans on the shore were so angry that they raised their hand tablets to threaten and warn, which made Su Xi and the others regretfully stop their actions.
When Song Chi entered the room, his face twitched as he went inside to wash up, but that's another story.
The rest of the people, except for the Dragon and Phoenix clans who were too preoccupied with their own futures to notice anything else, including Venerable Xueqiao, were all staring at Song Chi's face, which was contorted with rage from beginning to end. Many couldn't help but chuckle. To be honest, Venerable Xueqiao felt sorry for Song Chi. The Dragon and Phoenix clans truly lived up to their reputation for fierceness in historical records; in reality, they were all madmen. Look at that girl, speechless, sometimes closing her eyes and rubbing her forehead, sometimes staring blankly at the heavens. However, fortunately, the effect was good. The Dragon and Phoenix clans were about to become unprecedentedly powerful.
