Chapter 516 - 386: The First Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir
"Junior sister, there's no need to worry. That kid has escaped into Cave No.5 and wouldn't dare to go further. Once we get our hands on the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir and return to Xia Capital, I'll personally help you kill that kid and the Emperor of Daxia. By then, the whole of Daxia will belong to the Hong Family." Luo Song said nonchalantly.
Hong Mingyue nodded, knowing that the most crucial thing right now was that Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir.
Inside Cave No.5, Xiahou Qi and the others, appeared in a flash of light.
Feng Xue and Fang Hao both had the look of someone who had narrowly escaped death. They had just strongly felt Hong Mingyue's intent to kill.
That woman was even willing to kill the Sixth Prince.
Feng Xue and Fang Hao looked apprehensively at Xiahou Qi with a lingering sense of fear.
Xiahou Qi was calm, not overly angry or panicked.
Ever since being secretly harmed by the Fourth Prince Xia Houhong, Xiahou Qi had realized that in this world, there were no absolutely trustworthy people.
Although he was in the same team as Hong Mingyue and the others, he had never truly trusted them.
He had long been aware of the Hong Residence's ambitions and had mentioned them to the emperor several times.
But the emperor always said that Marquis Hong was a veteran of three dynasties; if he had a change of heart, he would have rebelled long ago, not waiting until today.
The Hong Residence didn't rebel because the time was not right.
But now... Xiahou Qi clenched the Jade Carving in his hand.
"The Hong Residence is really going too far. Sixth Prince, why don't we just leave this place now with the Jade Talisman Array in Cave No.5 and make them die of anger?" Feng Xue was itching with rage.
Not far from their side, there was a Jade Carving.
According to the rules of the Dan Palace, if someone from the same team left Xingxiu Cave, then Hong Mingyue and the others would also be forced to leave Xingxiu Cave.
"No, we need to stay in the cave for a full month. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is abundant here in Xingxiu Cave, and cultivating here is much better than outside. You guys also took quite a few Elixir Pills just now. It's time for us to recuperate and rest." Xiahou Qi had indeed had such a thought for a moment, but then he remembered something and shook his head.
Cave No.5 is relatively safe.
Even if they encounter other forces, considering his identity as the Prince of Daxia, they wouldn't act rashly.
The sufferings refined Xiahou Qi a lot compared to before; he was no longer the Sixth Prince who always relied solely on Empress Liu and Ye Lingyue for help in Xia Capital.
He knew all too well that acting on impulse wouldn't change anything.
His only concern was whether Ye Lingyue would be in danger on another fork in the road.
No, she wouldn't be, because she is Ye Lingyue.
She would surely turn danger into safety.
Xiahou Qi swept his thoughts aside and surveyed his surroundings; he must make full use of all available resources to grow.
Not just for himself, but for Ye Lingyue, he had to uproot the Hong Residence.
Having said that, Xiahou Qi took Feng Xue and the others to find a relatively secluded place and began cultivating in earnest.
Whatever happened in the other caves of Xingxiu Cave seemed to have nothing to do with them anymore.
After Xiahou Qi and the others vanished, Hong Mingyue and her team's attention fell on that Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir.
One would think that a mere elixir pill should be easy to obtain, but who knew, this Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir turned out to be quite troublesome.
After breaking out of the cauldron, the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir hovered in mid-air, constantly dodging around the cave, eluding capture by Hong Yuying and the others no matter how they chased it.
"It seems that after breaking through the Eighth-grade, this Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir has developed spiritual intelligence," Luo Song pondered, watching the elixir pill.
The Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, refined from nine hundred and ninety-nine Reincarnation Elixirs, had already broken through the Seventh-grade, becoming an Eighth-grade Elixir Pill.
He had heard from his father that once an elixir pill broke through the Eighth-grade, it was like a Spiritual Artifact breaking through the Earth Rank, in that both would gain their own divine skills.
Inside Xingxiu Cave, where Heaven and Earth Elemental Power was abundant, this Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir likely did the same.
Its movement technique was almost comparable to that of a Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist.
"Catching it won't be easy. Junior sister, it looks like we'll need to work together," Luo Song contemplated for a moment, discussed a plan of action with Hong Mingyue, and quickly devised a strategy.
"Sister, you and the others fall back, shut off your five senses and six consciousnesses, and nobody makes a move or a sound until I say so," instructed Hong Mingyue, bringing the Canghai Three-Life Flute to her lips, from which flowed a stream-like melody.
The flute's music filled the entire cave.
The Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir seemed to sense the power of the Canghai Three-Life Song and became restless and agitated.
Upon seeing this, Luo Song's figure flashed, and with the Wind Riding Treasure Bottle beneath his feet, he soared into the air.
With a boom, a myriad of wind forces, mixed with powerful water arrows, converged in a pincer movement, fiercely striking the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir.
Under the effect of the Water Power and Wind Power, the dodging of the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir noticeably paused, its speed in the air slowed down significantly.
The two were truly strong fighters of the Reincarnation Realm, with extraordinary abilities.
Seizing the moment, Luo Song's movement technique flashed continuously, catching the fleeing Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir as if braving the winds and waves.
"Got it." Luo Song was overjoyed, then he retracted the Wind Riding Treasure Bottle and landed on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Hong Mingyue also put away her flute.
But Luo Song did not immediately hand over the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir to Hong Mingyue.
"Senior brother, this Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir is very important to me," Hong Mingyue inwardly grew annoyed. Before entering Xingxiu Cave, she had already made it clear to Luo Song that she intended to give the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir to Hong Qingyun as a sixtieth birthday present, which was to happen a few days before the Imperial Examination.
At that time, Luo Song agreed wholeheartedly, vowing to assist her.
She revealed her plans to him, and even the strategy for the Hong Residence during the Daxia dynasty's succession, relying on his cooperation.
After all, the Valley Master of Three-Life Valley had already broken through the Reincarnation Realm and entered the Divine Power Realm over twenty years ago, while Luo Song was just at Reincarnation Three Paths—this Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir would not hold much significance for him.
"Junior sister, you should also know the importance of the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir. Inside Three-Life Valley, there are two elders who have reached the Reincarnation Five Paths. This elixir can help the valley gain yet another Divine Power Realm expert," said Luo Song with an ambiguous smile, his eyes glued to Hong Mingyue.
Hong Mingyue was hot and cold towards him, such an attuned man to the ways of pleasure, how could Luo Song not be aware.
Luo Song was proud. The women he wanted must be obtained.
Luo Song had no shortage of women; many junior sisters and senior sisters within Three-Life Valley were his playthings, but none were comparable to Hong Mingyue.
With Hong Mingyue's looks and talent both top-notch, how could he let his catch slip away.
"Senior brother, what do you require to hand over the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir to me?" Hong Mingyue was also vexed, but she dare not confront Luo Song directly and could only force a smile.
