In the jeweled cultivation room.
Pieces of white jade surrounded Zhao Yafu in the center. Wisps of milky white air flowed into her mouth, nose, heart, and lungs as she breathed.
Her flushed little face looked as if she was drunk.
Beside her, Zhao Zhenghao, Zhao Dongsheng, and Zhao Xi were all nervous and uneasy.
Their gazes sometimes fell on Zhao Yafu, and sometimes they looked at Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan was calm and collected. Every once in a while, he would open his mouth and give a few pointers.
"Swallow the Fire Breath Pill. Circulate the pill's power to the profound gate in your middle dantian.
"Use your soul to communicate and guide the infant dragon's soul.
"Now, ignite all of your power, mix it with your spiritual power, and rush into that ball of bloody light!"
"..."
Following his words, Zhao Yafu's entire body turned crimson like a cooked shrimp.
Occasionally, a streak of blue bloody light could be seen on her bare arms, neck, and waist.
That streak of blue bloody light instinctively sensed that a calamity was about to befall it. It constantly flew inside Zhao Yafu's body, under her fair skin.
Zhao Yafu's body was originally its hiding place, its last piece of pure land.
It was once a place where it could do whatever it wanted.
But now, this precious land where it had been sucking its blood and weak soul power day and night had become a blazing place like a magma pool. Moreover, it was like a cage, firmly imprisoning it!
There was another ball of bloody light that seemed to have a life of its own, chasing after it without letting go.
The bloody light was helping Zhao Yafu, trying to nibble away at it.
It desperately wanted to escape Zhao Yafu's body and sneak into another place to send a message to its clansmen at Dragon Concealment Lake.
Unfortunately, it couldn't get rid of it at all.
Its consciousness, which had yet to be fully enlightened, gradually became muddled, and the power that belonged to it also slowly dissipated.
"That streak of blue bloody light is shrinking and becoming fainter and fainter." Zhao Xi's spirit rose. "Brother Yu, you're really something!"
"Nonsense!" Zhao Zhenghao glared at him. "If it weren't for him, how could this infant dragon's soul be refined?"
"Hu!"
Zhao Dongsheng exhaled and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. He seemed to be even more nervous than Zhao Yafu. He finally recovered and said, "Yu Yuan, thank you so much for this trip."
He could tell that the baby dragon's soul was already in a melted state.
This was because the aura in his precious daughter's body was rapidly growing stronger.
"I promised you that I would help her deal with that young dragon's soul, so I naturally have to fulfill my promise." Yu Yuan smiled and said, "Not to mention that not long ago, your Zhao Family also showed enough sincerity."
"Without the Huang Family's interference, Dark Moon City will be much more harmonious in the future." Zhao Dongsheng said in a relaxed manner.
Yu Yuan rubbed his chin and pondered for a while. Suddenly, he said, "The baby dragon that was implanted in Yaf's body died outside long ago. This matter could not be concealed for too long. Wait until the Hidden Dragon Lake knows that it's dead. When they think of the existence of that soul, they will definitely come looking for you. "
"By then?"
What he wanted to ask was, was the Zhao family prepared?
To fall out with the Hidden Dragon Lake and be prepared to deal with the bloody revenge of the Hidden Dragon Lake.
"To tell you the truth, our Zhao Family has another connection." As the Patriarch, Zhao Zhenghao laughed dryly and said, "We're still communicating, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem."
"That's good." Yu Yuan nodded and did not ask in detail.
"Yaf was also a participant in that event. I hope that you can help her when she encounters trouble. "Zhao Dongsheng said.
Yu Yuan glanced at Zhao Yafu and said, "After that baby dragon's soul was refined, the thing that bound her became an aid. If there are no accidents, Yaf should be able to break through to the Golden Hall Realm in a short period of time. Does she need me to take care of her Golden Hall Realm cultivation? "
"Yes!"
Zhao Zhenghao, Zhao Dongsheng, and Zhao Xi said in unison.
Yu Yuan stared blankly for a moment before chuckling.
"Anything can be discussed!" Zhao Dongsheng hurriedly said.
Yu Yuan nodded lightly. "Let me think about it."
"Oh, right." Zhao Zhenghao frowned slightly. "We've received news that your fiancée will also be participating in that event. You have to pay attention. We heard that she will enter the Shattering Profound Realm during that event. "
"Heh, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road."
… …
The Yu Family.
"Congratulations, old man."
Su Yin smiled and congratulated Yu Can, who was standing shakily despite being able to sit, in the great hall that was once filled with rivers of blood.
Su Yin was at the middle stage of the Shattering Profound Realm and was a member of the Silver Moon Empire's Su Family.
The Su Family was the Yu Family's superior.
Su Yin had heard of some things when he passed by Dark Moon City and came to visit.
He had passed by Dark Moon City many times in the past, but he had only seen the City Lord, Yuan Lianyao. He had never visited the Yu Family.
"This old man should've personally welcomed an esteemed guest," Yu Can laughed heartily. From his laughter, one could tell that he was in an extremely good mood. "But my legs were just healed, so I can barely stand. Please don't blame me."
Su Yin glanced around and suddenly asked, "Of course not. Who is Yu Yuan?"
Inside the great hall, Yu Wei, Yu Lian, and Yu Hu exchanged confused glances.
It turned out that this Su Clan member had come for his nephew, Yu Yuan.
"Well, I came to see the City Lord and heard something from City Lord Yuan," Su Yin said frankly. "Actually, I have a lot of work to do, and didn't want to waste time. City Lord Yuan thinks very highly of your grandson, and asked me to make time to meet him.
"Also, I heard that she gave Yu Yuan a spot in the grand banquet.
"A few youngsters from my clan will be joining the banquet as well. I wanted to see if there's a chance for him to join the Su Clan's youngsters and help each other."
He had heard that heaven-shaking, earth-shaking changes had taken place in Dark Moon City.
The Huang Clan, which had suppressed the Yu Family and made them unable to raise their heads, was suddenly removed from Dark Moon City.
Instead, the Yu Family had taken over all of the Huang Clan's mines and spirit veins outside the city.
This came as a great surprise to Su Yin.
As the mainstay of the Silver Moon Empire, the Su Clan, which was famous for its medicinal plants, had many clans that offered them spirit herbs and plants. The Yu Family was nothing.
Later, as the Yu Family grew weaker and weaker, the Su Clan looked down on them even more.
However, when he heard that the tiny Yu Family had taken over the Huang Clan's territory and won the support of Yuan Lianyao and the Zhao Clan, he was naturally interested.
He went to ask Yuan Lianyao about it, and heard a name repeatedly from that vicious woman.
It was Yu Yuan.
His curiosity was completely aroused by Yuan Lianyao. That was why he took the time to pay her a visit.
"Sorry, Yu Yuan isn't here right now," Yu Can said. "Well, he's been staying with the Zhao Clan recently. It might take a day or two for him to return."
"The Zhao Clan?" Su Yin was even more surprised. "Why is he staying with the Zhao Clan for so long?"
Yu Can smiled awkwardly, but didn't explain.
"Grandpa, there's a rumor going around that your clan has a hidden alchemist. Is that true?" Su Yin's gaze suddenly landed on Su Yin's leg, and his expression grew somewhat excited. "You know that every alchemist is our clan's dream. It takes countless spiritual materials to raise a single alchemist. I don't think your clan has the resources to do that yet. "
With these words, he went on to tell them the second purpose of his visit.
After he finished speaking, the Yu Family clansmen more or less understood why he had come.
They wanted to meet Yu Yuan, who was going to participate in the pageant, and see if Yu Yuan was qualified enough to help the Su Clan members.
To put it more bluntly, Yu Yuan, who had been given a slot by Yuan Lianyao, was going to be a servant of the Su Clan members.
He was going to be sacrificed as cannon fodder at critical moments.
Secondly, if the Yu Clan really did have an alchemist, he hoped that the Yu Clan would voluntarily hand over that alchemist and let him take him back to the Su Clan.
The Su Clan had been recruiting alchemists from all over the world to refine medicinal pills for them at all costs.
This was the foundation of the Su Clan's prosperity.
As long as the Su Clan learned that an alchemist had appeared in the Silver Moon Empire, they would definitely bring him back to the Su Clan.
The Su Clan had even recruited young men and women who were talented in alchemy, but hadn't yet become alchemists. No matter where they came from, they would bring them back to the Su Clan.
Because of this, many bloody incidents had taken place.
However, the Su Clan was powerful, and everything they did was for the benefit of the empire. Therefore, many people turned a blind eye to their actions.
Everyone knew about the Su Clan's greed and desire for alchemists.
"Well..."
Yu Can sighed inwardly, looking very hesitant.
"Yu Clan, you need to be grateful." Su Yin raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat displeased. "Only when the Su Clan is strong will we be able to feed the Yu Clan. Please remember this!"
