After hiding in King Yunyang's mansion for half a day, Wang Lu had roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
To put it simply, about three months ago, King Yunyang's beloved daughter, Princess Yunyue, suddenly fell ill with a strange disease. She was bedridden and looked haggard and weak day by day. King Yunyang searched everywhere for famous doctors, but they were all helpless. In the end, he even invited some charlatans to his mansion to diagnose the Princess.
Charlatans were naturally unreliable. However, one day, a wandering Daoist priest floated in and, with a dose of medicine, opened the eyes of the unconscious Princess. King Yunyang was overjoyed, but that wandering Daoist Priest said that his decoction could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. The Princess was suffering from a strange disease that could only be cured by using the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood as a catalyst. However, the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood was an incomparably mystical refining material. To collect the blood of tens of thousands of rare birds and beasts, this process would take several years or even decades. Some of the rare beasts might even be extinct, but the Princess' disease could only be delayed for three months at most.
In three months, let alone the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, even the second level Ten Thousand Spirit Blood could not be refined. Therefore, the wandering Daoist priest proposed an alternative, which was to refine the blood of human beings, the leader of the ten thousand spirits. Although this was an evil method, it was the only method that could be effective in a short period of time. Moreover, the human blood did not need to kill thousands of people, it only needed the blood of hundreds or thousands of people to complete the refining.
After leaving behind the method to refine the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood and the prescription to save the Princess, the wandering Daoist priest floated away. King Yunyang suffered in pain for three days and three nights. Three days later, with bloodshot eyes, he made a decision.
He sent his most trusted team of death warriors to a remote mountain village and asked them to quietly collect the ten thousand spirit blood within one month. For this, they must do it at all costs.
As a benevolent and generous King, King Yunyang was actually willing to kill his own people to satisfy his own selfishness, which shocked his death warriors. However, since they were death warriors, they would not hesitate to go through water and tread on fire, let alone deal with some mountain villagers. Moreover, Princess Yunyue was the successor of King Yunyang. For the sake of this independent country in the mountains, they must do their best.
After sending out the death warriors, King Yunyang felt relieved and aged a lot. However, when he went to his daughter's room to visit, he found his daughter angrily asking him why he had to do such a cruel thing.
Although he did not know where the news was leaked, King Yunyang could only face everything and confess his thoughts to his daughter.
Although King Yunyang was the king of a country, the bloodline of the Wang Family was cursed, and in his generation, it had almost withered away. Yunyang and his beloved wife died of a sudden illness, leaving behind only the young Yunyue and Yunyue and Yunyue and Yunyue. The continuation of the royal bloodline had already met with great difficulties, but at this time, Yunyue herself had fallen.
As the king of a country, it was impossible for King Yunyang to sit idly by and watch his only heir die. Therefore, he actually had no other choice. Not to mention, he had his own reasons for killing his own people. Although he could not say it out loud to outsiders, when his daughter questioned him, he could no longer hide it.
"Do you know why you and your mother fell ill one after another?"
Princess Yunyue lowered her head and said softly, "Perhaps Mother and I are not blessed enough, so …"
"Not enough karma!?" King Yunyang angrily said, "I have worked hard all my life to make the country prosperous and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If there is really a God who can decide a person's fortune, then my King Yunyang family can afford to have a great fortune!"
With that, King Yunyang suppressed his anger and explained, "The Upper Immortal who saved you has found out the cause of your and your mother's illness. Everything... everything is because of that Yunwu tea!"
"Cloud Mist Tea?"
Princess Yunyue repeated softly, but she did not seem very surprised.
King Yunyang gritted his teeth and said, "It is the so-called immortal tea that Fog Origin Mountain routinely offers every year! They said that the tea is not only fragrant, but also has a special nourishing effect on women, prolonging their life, preserving their beauty, but they never mentioned that the Cloud Mist Tea is like a poison to the women of the royal family! You and your mother fell ill because of it. They, they not only killed your mother, they also want to kill you, how can I forgive them!? "
Princess Yunyue smiled and said, "Father, you are just looking for an excuse for yourself. They are just ordinary villagers, how could they know that the Cloud Mist Tea is harmful to the royal family? Their ancestors have lived in the mountain village for generations. When they drink the tea, they only see the benefits and never see the harm, so they are just ignorant. But the enthusiasm of presenting this treasure should not be wronged. If you want to say that it is wrong, it is the fault of our royal family. "
"Nonsense!" King Yunyang wanted to get angry, but in front of his daughter, he could not get angry. He could only flick his sleeves and leave, thinking that once the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood was refined and his daughter was cured, he would no longer care about other things.
However, Princess Yunyue was particularly stubborn. After arguing with her father once, she refused to drink water or rice, and was determined to die. When King Yunyang came to find them in a flustered and exasperated manner, the conversation that Wang Lu happened to hear happened.
— —
"Well, so far, the background of this palace story has been explained clearly. Next, the Palace Locking Yunyue operation will officially begin."
After watching enough bitter palace drama in the palace, Wang Lu seriously deduced and decided to solve the problem in an aboveboard manner.
Therefore, he straightforwardly flew out of the palace on his flying sword, and then went to the front door, ready to knock.
Naturally, he was stopped by the guards. When asked about his identity, Wang Lu pretended to have the demeanor of an immortal and said, "I see that the evil aura here has condensed, and there is a faint bloody light. I am afraid that in recent days, there has been a disaster. I have come here to dispel the disaster and dispel the doubts of the people in the palace. "
If it was an ordinary person who said this, perhaps the loyal guard would cut off his head on the spot. However, when Wang Lu stepped on his flying sword and slowly descended from mid-air, no matter how bold and loyal the guard was, he didn't dare to be ostentatious in front of him. He hastily sent a message to King Yunyang.
And after the wandering Daoist priest, King Yunyang attached great importance to this kind of person who obviously had immortal method. Hearing that there was a person who had arrived, he quickly went out to greet him.
"May I ask who Immortal is..."
Wang Lu thought for a moment and told the truth, "I am the lead disciple of the Lingjian School, Wang Lu. Now I am traveling outside in the name of my master. I happened to see the evil aura condensing in the palace. I am afraid that a great danger is about to break out, so I have come to help."
King Yunyang frowned and said, "I don't know what the great danger that Immortal is talking about is..."
Wang Lu said with a smile, "At present, it's not a big danger. It should just be a small trouble lurking in the Prince's Mansion. Most likely, some people in the Prince's Mansion suddenly suffered from an acute illness, or suddenly encountered a dangerous situation. However, if we ignore it, there will be endless troubles in the future. I can see that there are signs of evil aura erupting here. It should mean that many years ago, there was a danger, but it was suppressed by the people here, so it did not lead to a great disaster. However, if the root is not eliminated, sooner or later, the danger will erupt. "
Hearing Wang Lu's words, King Yunyang's whole body trembled. He felt that this Immortal really knew how to calculate and know everything.
"Then, then what should we do?"
Wang Lu said, "Let me know the details first before I can make a decision. For this kind of danger where natural and man-made disasters collude, rashly intervening will only be counterproductive. We must peel off the danger layer by layer like spinning silk from a cocoon, only then can we ensure safety... Hmm, looking at your tired face, there is a hint of worry in your eyes. Could it be that the outbreak of this danger is entrusted to someone close to His Highness? Then you might as well take me to see that person directly. "
Hearing this, King Yunyang could not wait any longer. He quickly invited Wang Lu into the palace and saw the sleeping Princess Yunyue.
When he saw Princess Yunyue, Wang Lu was taken aback. Previously, when he was lurking in the palace, in order to avoid being discovered, he only heard her voice and did not see her. He felt that the Princess was indeed worthy of being a nobleman, with a sweet voice, she should be a first-class beauty. Unexpectedly, after seeing her...
"This... is this your daughter? He's not a visitor from some planet?! "
Princess Yunyue, who was lying on the sickbed, did she look like a beautiful woman? The girl looked haggard, most of her black hair had fallen off, revealing her pale scalp. Her face was gray and thin, her cheekbones were high, her eyes protruded, and her lips were dark purple. Let alone a beauty, she did not even look like a human.
King Yunyang was in extreme pain. "Yunyue, she, of course, did not look like this before. However, because of an acute illness, in just half a month, she has become like this."
The beautiful girl that he was looking forward to turned into an alien beauty, Wang Lu was quite disappointed. However, seeing Yunyue like this, he became more serious. "King Yunyang, this is not a strange illness, this is clearly a strange poison. Who would be so sick that their facial bones would soften and deform?"
King Yunyang said, "Immortal is really omniscient. Yunyue is indeed suffering from a strange poison."
With that, King Yunyang asked his men to bring the Yunwu tea and give it to Wang Lu. Seeing the tea, Wang Lu was surprised again. "Are you sick? You dare to drink this thing? This is f * cking carrion grass, okay? "
"Carrion grass?" Just hearing this name, King Yunyang felt pain in his heart. Carrion grass, what a vicious existence!
"Yes, it is a kind of spirit grass that grows on carrion corpses. It is harmless to mortals, but it is highly poisonous to cultivators. You are born as the children of the royal family, enjoying the worship of thousands of people, and the nourishment of spiritual veins, you already have extraordinary qualifications. But your daughter's talent is better than yours. If she cultivates the path of immortality, she will certainly have some achievements in the future. However, being placed here is tantamount to being poisoned even deeper … This is really fate."
At this point, Wang Lu sighed. "The toxicity of this carrion grass is not strong for cultivators, but Princess Yunyue is not an orthodox cultivator and has no cultivation base. Moreover, now that the poison has entered her vitals, if she wants to live, it will indeed be a bit troublesome."
"May I ask Immortal, do you have a way to save her?"
Wang Lu said, "I have two plans. The bottom plan is to collect the blood of ten thousand spirits to refine elixirs to cure the poison. But the blood of ten thousand spirits is extremely difficult to collect. If you want to refine it into elixirs before the princess dies, you have to take an unconventional approach. But that is a wicked move that will cause endless troubles. "
King Yunyang trembled and did not dare to speak.
"The top plan is that I will use elixirs to prolong her life for one year. During this one year, you should find someone to give birth to a child with her as soon as possible, so that your Yunyang royal family can reproduce."
"What!?"
"That's right, we're looking for a prince consort. We're looking for someone with a strong body and outstanding intelligence to mate with the princess and give birth to outstanding descendants. Even if the princess dies, your royal bloodline will continue. Isn't that good?"
