Ji Jiuying snorted coldly, "It wasn't just a meeting, they actually fought. It's just a pity I didn't manage to hurt him in the slightest, and I was almost..."
Ji Jiuying paused, then didn't continue. Qinghu looked at her in confusion: "By him what?"
"He tricked me."
"This demon king is ruthless and bloodthirsty. He killed all eight of his brothers and absorbed all their demonic power into his own body for his own use. How could you possibly defeat him? But I never expected that this demon king would have a merciful side, and that it would be towards humans."
Si Yu and Ji Jiuying were also puzzled by this. He had been so aggressive in the beginning, but later he seemed like a completely different person.
"It doesn't matter anymore. I've already got what I wanted, so who cares what he thinks?" Ji Jiuying said.
That night, the red moon hung high in the sky.
Ji Jiuying suddenly opened her eyes and unleashed a fierce spiritual technique towards the window: "Who!"
"Wait, wait a minute, it's my little beauty."
Hearing the familiar voice, Ji Jiuying frowned: "Si Yu?"
"Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"
Si Yu leaped into Ji Jiuying's room. "Little beauty, I couldn't say anything during the day because that guy was around, so I had to come find you in the middle of the night. But if you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company..."
"If you don't want your mouth anymore, I can give you some poison," Ji Jiuying glared at him and said irritably.
Si Yu touched her nose: "Sure enough, the more beautiful a person is, the more poisonous they are."
"If you have something to say, then say it!"
Si Yu: ......
Si Yu coughed lightly: "Little beauty, since we can't leave the Demon Realm for another ten days, I was wondering if we should refine the Nine Revolutions Heaven and Earth Pill in the Demon Realm first?"
“This Nine Revolutions Universe Pill is unlike ordinary pills, which will inevitably attract pill lightning. If it were refined in the Heavenly Domain, it would definitely cause turmoil. Refining it in the Demon Domain would be relatively better.”
Ji Jiuying remained silent. She knew all too well that she had considered it, but refining the Nine Revolutions Qiankun Pill beyond her level required utmost caution. The slightest mistake could lead to her going into qi deviation or even exhausting her spiritual power, turning her into an idiot.
Moreover, she didn't want anyone other than Si Yu to know...
Seeing that Ji Jiuying didn't speak, Si Yu asked again, "Little beauty?"
"Let me think about it."
Hearing this, Si Yu stopped talking and just quietly watched her as she pondered.
Ji Jiuying tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table, her brow furrowed.
She'd refined pills beyond her level quite a few times, but those were all ordinary pills. This time, however, she only had one chance to refine the Nine Revolutions Universe Pill. If she went into seclusion now to improve her alchemy skills, she didn't know when she would wake up again...
Most importantly, she herself couldn't guarantee whether she would advance after emerging from seclusion; she dared not gamble.
Just then, Dongfang Yao in her mind spoke up, "Little girl, you can also use my dragon soul power as your spiritual power."
Ji Jiuying's eyes lit up. "You mean it?"
"certainly."
The evil fire, who had just awakened from its cultivation, also spoke up: "Woman, what he said is right. The power of the dragon soul is different from the divine power of the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger. The power of the dragon soul can indeed provide spiritual power to the contractor."
“Mother, Little Phoenix and Mother have a soul contract, so Little Phoenix can also help Mother.”
"The Black Tortoise can also do it."
Hei Xiangling and Jiutian Xuanhuo spoke at the same time: "Master, girl, I can protect you."
Dongfang Yao snorted coldly, seemingly wanting to outdo Hei Xiangling: "Little girl, I can also condense a divine dragon barrier for you to resist the pill lightning."
"Girl, I can do it too!"
"·····"
With their help, our chances of winning have increased.
To refine a divine-level pill like the Nine Revolutions Heaven and Earth Pill, one needs powerful spiritual energy, a divine-level alchemy furnace, and divine-level spiritual fire—all of which are indispensable, and fortunately, she possesses all of them.
Suddenly, Ji Jiuying turned her head to look at Si Yu, "Okay, we'll do as you say, but you'll have to wait a moment."
"good."
Ji Jiuying retrieved paper and pen from a nearby desk, quickly wrote a letter, blew on it, folded it neatly, and placed it on the tea table, pressing it down with teaware.
"Alright, we've found a quiet place, a mountain range that's a hundred miles away where there are no demons."
Ji Jiuying said that Dan Lei can penetrate space, so she had to find a deserted place. First, she was afraid of harming others, and second, she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.
Si Yu thought for a moment, then said, "Come with me."
A crane appeared before them, and Ji Jiuying and Si Yu jumped onto it, leaping away from the demon city.
From the window next door, Qinghu peered through the paper window at the direction they had disappeared, a hint of sadness flashing in his golden eyes.
So, she still didn't trust him at all...
An hour later, Ji Jiuying and Si Yu quickly arrived at a deserted mountain range. Although there were no demons here, countless monsters roamed around.
But none of this mattered. Dongfang Yao unleashed a powerful aura that spread in all directions, causing the demonic beasts to flee in terror. Not a single demonic beast dared to appear more than dozens of miles away.
"There's a cave over there," Si Yu pointed to a spot not far away.
"Then let's go."
The group quickly arrived at the cave entrance. For safety reasons, Dongfang Yao went up first to check it out, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he let Ji Jiuying and Si Yu in.
After entering the cave, a golden light appeared on Dongfang Yao's forehead, gradually growing larger until it enveloped the entire cave.
Si Yu narrowed her eyes, which further confirmed her suspicions.
After the barrier was formed, Ji Jiuying led Si Yu and Dongfang Yao into the space. The space was full of spiritual energy, so there was no worry about running out of spiritual energy, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Hei Xiangling came to Ji Jiuying's side, condensed a black mark in her hand and struck her body. The mark disappeared and formed a protective shield.
Ji Jiuying summoned the Nine Nether Cauldron, and an ancient aura wafted towards her. Si Yu's eyes widened. This was the ancient divine cauldron, the Nine Nether Cauldron! This little beauty had truly given him so many surprises.
More than a dozen rare medicinal herbs, such as Crimson Crystal Ganoderma, Mystic Ice Flower, Bodhi Flower, Seven-Colored Lotus, Nine-Layer Summer, and Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng, were neatly arranged.
At this moment, Si Yu took out a spiritual herb with a chilling aura from her spatial storage. "Little beauty, let's add this Yin Ning Grass. This Crimson Crystal Mushroom is much older than the Xuanbing Flower, and it might suppress the medicinal effects of the Xuanbing Flower. The Yin Ning Grass is the best medicinal catalyst to enhance the Xuanbing Flower, and it can increase the medicinal properties by three points."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes. The Yin Ning Grass was dark and shiny, and it grew on the graves of people born in the Yin year, Yin month, Yin day and Yin hour. Only one plant could grow every hundred years.
