After saying goodbye to Linnoy, Mu Qing's expression was calm as she left the small Daoist temple that had been baptized by a thousand years of wind and rain.
Han Wenze and Huang Weiyue accompanied her to another spiritual peak. There were three thatched cottages, a stone table, and a few wooden blocks. This place was very secluded, and the bamboo forest was green and lush, carrying a fresh and clean aura.
Mu Qing's clothes were as white as snow and untainted by dust. Although she was a maid of the prince, she was destined to enjoy a high status on Mount Lao after crossing over.
Han Wenze and Huang Weiyue were quite cautious and treated her as a noble lady. They didn't dare to be a maid and report to her.
Mu Qing wasn't arrogant because of her status as the prince's confidant. She smiled warmly at the two and nodded after understanding the general situation.
When Huang Weiyue mentioned Linnoy, Mu Qing politely reminded and corrected her, saying that she should be addressed as Princess.
"Yes, I was careless. Please forgive me, Fairy Mu Qing. We've always wanted to bring the prince here as soon as possible." Huang Weiyue expressed her apology.
Han Wenze then explained the current situation to Mu Qing. He mentioned the descenders and the three immortal islands. He even pointed out the names of the current experts.
"If the prince crosses over soon, who can compete with him? Even if the other fairies and divine sons arrive later, they'll be one step behind and lose the initiative. "Han Wenze smiled respectfully.
Mu Qing's snow-white clothes fluttered in the wind. She was tranquil and otherworldly. She sipped her tea and said, "Please take a trip to invite that Chu Feng."
"Actually, we're preparing to take action against him," Han Wenze replied.
Mu Qing shook her head and revealed a faint smile. "No, the prince cherishes talents and needs such a virtuous person. Invite him."
Han Wenze was startled and didn't know how to respond.
"From your introductions, I already know that this person is extraordinary. The prince will need such a person after crossing over." Mu Qing smiled. She then turned to look at the blue sea below and said calmly, "Yes, we should find a way to make him acknowledge the prince. It's best if we don't act rudely."
Han Wenze and Huang Weiyue descended the mountain and only spoke after they were far away.
"This Miss Mu wants us to invite Chu Feng, it's really …" Han Wenze frowned. He felt that things were a little difficult.
"You don't really think that Miss Mu Qing is interested in him because he's a virtuous man, do you?" Huang Weiyue smiled.
Han Wenze turned around to look at her in surprise.
Huang Weiyue said, "Through our introduction, Miss Mu Qing already knows what kind of person Chu Feng is. She also knows that he used to have a good relationship with Linnoy. He must have his reasons for giving us such orders."
"What do you mean?" Han Wenze felt that he didn't have a good grasp of a woman's psychology. Now that he recalled Mu Qing's smiling face and her saying that she invited Chu Feng over, he really felt puzzled.
"Miss Mu Qing said that the prince cherishes talent. It's obvious that even if he invited Chu Feng here, he would only ask him to follow the prince as a subordinate, not a friend on equal footing." Huang Weiyue explained with a faint smile, "She even emphasized that it's best if Chu Feng acknowledges the prince and doesn't act rudely. That's the main point."
Han Wenze's expression changed. "Is she hinting that after we subdue Chu Feng, we have to be respectful when we meet the prince?"
Huang Weiyue nodded. "To be more precise, we have to bring Chu Feng back and have him kowtow to the prince."
"Is there a need to do that?" Han Wenze turned back and glanced at the spiritual peak behind him. That elegant lady in white had a warm smile on her face and looked very kind. She didn't put on any airs with them, but it seemed that they had to be more cautious around her.
Huang Weiyue said, "Hmm, this Miss Mu Qing is still very considerate of the prince. She knows the relationship between Chu Feng and Linnoy, yet she still wants to do this. Humiliating Chu Feng is secondary, but she wants Linnoy to see the situation clearly. If she sees Chu Feng kowtowing at the prince's feet respectfully, how do you think Linnoy will look at Chu Feng, and how will she look at the prince? One is kowtowing, while the other is high and mighty, yet calm and profound. "
Han Wenze was speechless. Now that he thought about it, this Mu Qing might be the prince's maid, but he really couldn't underestimate her. She was asking them to do these things with a smile on her face.
Huang Weiyue reminded, "Although she's only the prince's maid, her status is higher than many people. You and I have to be more cautious. This person isn't easy to deal with."
Afterward, they all revealed faint smiles at the mention of Chu Feng. This person was a tragedy from start to finish, and he wouldn't have a good ending.
The dark red mark between Han Wenze's brows lit up. He was evaluating Chu Feng's strength and the preparations they had to make. He didn't want to be careless.
"He has severed seven shackles and can conquer experts with eight severed shackles. He's an outstanding talent, but unfortunately, his foundations are too lacking when facing an imperial court of evolvers." Han Wenze shook his head.
Huang Weiyue revealed a cold smile. "He's just a chess piece. Even if he's stunning now, he might still be ordinary after reaching the carefree realm. There are too many such examples. Moreover, what future does he have under such circumstances? Unless he's willing to become a servant."
"He's only severed his seventh shackle. Logically speaking, he won't be able to evolve again in a short period of time. But just to be safe, let's go to the qilin's old lair and invite some dao friends," Han Wenze suggested.
He and Huang Weiyue hadn't been hibernating in the Origin Magnetic Immortal Cave all these years. Instead, they were at another gathering place for descenders, near the qilin's old lair.
"There's news that he's currently at Mount Zhijin in Jiangning," said Huang Weiyue.
Han Wenze was quite cautious. "During this period of safety, don't approach him at any place suitable for deployment of domains. Mn, don't set foot on Mount Zhijin. It's better to wait outside for him to come out."
They decided to first go to the qilin's old lair to invite some people. Just to be safe, they had to call a few more people. At the same time, it was tantamount to roping in some followers for the prince.
Even though they were all descenders, they were divided into different levels. How could people like them compare to a heavenly prince from an imperial court?
They knew that in the near future, all the famed mountains on earth would be occupied by saintesses, divine sons, and buddhas. These people were terrifying. Their resplendent radiance would pierce everyone's eyes. As for the natives? There wasn't much hope!
Mu Qing actually appeared just as the two were leaving Mount Lao. She presented a magical weapon with an amiable smile and said, "It's always good to have more weapons for self-defense when you're outside. This is the Spirit Binding Cord."
It looked like a hemp rope with a faint golden hempen luster. However, Han Wenze and Huang Weiyue were moved because they knew what this item was made of.
The Immortal Binding Cord was a type of secret treasure with unfathomable divine might. It could even bind a golden arhat directly. It was truly wondrous and unpredictable.
This Spirit Binding Rope, on the other hand, was a simplified version. It could easily capture cultivators at the shackled realm.
The two sighed inwardly. The imperial court of evolution was indeed quite confident. A mere maid could casually gift them such a weapon after crossing over. It was truly terrifying.
What did that heavenly prince have on him? He must have even more astonishing secret treasures. He might even have a fragment of the Golden Mother. He could refine a holy weapon on earth. Such a divine son level character simply couldn't contend against him.
Such a person's talents were terrifying. Moreover, his evolutionary level had long since reached a high enough level. Add to that his secret treasures, it was enough to suppress the declining earth!
The two went on their way after expressing their thanks.
Huang Weiyue said, "Do you see? This Miss Mu Qing gifted us the Spirit Binding Cord just in case. She wants us to capture Chu Feng and make him kneel at the prince's feet."
Mount Lao was within Shandong's borders. The qilin's old lair was also here, so they didn't need to take a long detour.
Jiangning, Mount Zhijin.
Flames were raging and essence energy was surging. All sorts of energy flames were pulsating in the area, forming a wondrous scene as the central region was set ablaze.
But others didn't know that the central region was the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace. This was a legendary terrain that could nurture fortunes, refine great medicines, nurture weapons, and even temper oneself.
After Chu Feng's appraisal, he found that this was a man-made eight trigrams furnace and not a natural one.
In truth, if it were a natural one, Chu Feng wouldn't be able to enjoy such fortunes. With his current evolutionary level, this kind of terrain was still a terrifying zone for him.
That was because a truly natural eight trigrams furnace would have naturally branded patterns of the great dao that would form a natural domain. He would be refined to death if he were to enter!
This small eight trigrams furnace laid down by the ancients was just right for him and could still endure.
At this time, several weapons were glowing beside him and being nurtured once again. At the same time, various mutant fruits were piled together and melted into a medicinal liquid. The Thunderstruck Wood was also releasing a strand of natural vitality.
Of course, he only used a small section of the wood and put away the rest. This item was too precious and couldn't be wasted.
Even though there were many in the dragon lair, it was truly difficult to find them in the outside world.
Additionally, a drop of toad's blood, as well as a few drops of roc and tiger blood, were all added into the medicinal liquid.
This was the miraculous aspect of the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace. One didn't need to know how to refine weapons or medicines. The entire cave was a natural treasure furnace that could nurture fortunes.
It could directly produce pills!
Rumor had it that a natural eight trigrams furnace could directly nurture peerless divine pills and saint pills. It was a world-shaking feat.
One day and one night passed. Chu Feng was grimacing in pain and suffering. After all, some flames had seeped into the furnace and he felt like he was about to be roasted.
Finally, at noon the next day, he was satisfied. There were eight silver spheres around him, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance that refreshed the mind. The pills had been formed!
This made him feel amazed. This kind of terrain was indeed suitable for nurturing pills. He didn't even need to expend much effort to succeed in the end.
At the same time, his weapons also became more intelligent.
"Eat!" Chu Feng didn't hesitate. Under such circumstances, nothing was more important than strength.
A finger-sized silver pill slid down his throat and immediately transformed into an astonishing stream of heat that rushed into his body. Following which, a wave of energy broke through a dam.
Boom!
As expected, the mutant fruits produced excellent effects after being refined into a pill. The medicinal efficacy was raised by a large margin!
That day, Chu Feng severed his eighth shackle with relative ease. His strength rose sharply and was much more powerful than before. Blood energy surged around him and he once again obtained a special ability.
His entire body was sparkling and translucent like an indestructible golden body.
This time, he had severed the shackle on his back. Presently, there seemed to be a golden spear lying dormant there, ready to fly out at any moment and pierce through all obstructions!
