In the courtyard behind the Wan Fen Garden's main hall, Zi Yi stood in the courtyard and looked at a tightly shut door with a puzzled expression. Yue Qianchou and Furong had entered the room again. Furong was the same as Wu Lixue and was also making some strange sounds. Zi Yi could not understand it no matter how she thought about it …
After half a day, Yue Qianchou came out of the room happily. Zi Yi walked over and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
Yue Qianchou didn't answer and instructed with a serious expression, "Now, help me guard this room and don't let anyone in. I have something important to do." Zi Yi saw that he was serious and immediately agreed. Yue Qianchou then went back into the room.
Furong, who was tidying up her clothes, still had an amorous expression on her face. Yue Qianchou hugged her and disappeared. Furong wasn't surprised at all as she was used to it.
Utopia's Misty Palace, Bai Suzhen was sitting cross-legged with the Green Destiny Sword in her hand. She would draw something in the air with her slender fingers. Then, she would shake her head and go into deep thought. It was obvious that she hadn't broken the restriction on the sword.
Yue Qianchou, who suddenly appeared, looked at her silently and didn't disturb her. His eyes revealed a pitiful expression. Such a beautiful woman had been doing such boring things. He didn't know how long she hadn't gone out. It was all for him.
Bai Suzhen suddenly looked up and was startled. She put down the sword and smiled gently. "You are here."
"It's just a broken sword. It's fine if I can't break the restriction on it. At most, I will just use it as a high-grade artifact. You don't have to make things difficult for yourself." Yue Qianchou looked at her and smiled.
"I have some ideas." After Bai Suzhen indirectly rejected him, she sized him up. Seeing that he was quite energetic, she calmed down and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"I can concoct the Seven Orifices Exquisite Pill now." Yue Qianchou smiled. Bai Suzhen was surprised and asked, "You found the Resurrection Grass?"
"I haven't picked it yet, but I can pick it anytime. Sister, help me prepare three mature Seven Star Blood Orchids and three strands of Udumbara Flower's silk. I'll go pick the Soul Returning Grass now and meet up with you here. "
"Got it!" Bai Suzhen nodded with a gentle smile and went out. Yue Qianchou stared blankly at her back for a while before disappearing.
Outside the Great Door of the Netherworld, Yue Qianchou, who had suddenly appeared, subconsciously looked around. Although it was not his first time here, the atmosphere here was really suffocating. He glanced at the tightly shut Gates of the Netherworld. The Heaven-Swallowing Beast that was missing a knocker and two of its teeth was still the same. The skulls on the Netherworld Wall were still staring at him with boundless terror.
Now was not the time to enjoy the scenery! Yue Qianchou walked to the side of the Netherworld Stele that was guarding it. He raised his hand and released three pillars of water, directly sealing the three Resurrection Grass in ice. Then, he pulled out the ice pillars along with the Resurrection Grass and disappeared with the ice pillars.
Bai Suzhen had already returned to the room to wait for him. Seeing him appear with three ice pillars, she asked in surprise, "This is?"
"This thing is not something of the mortal world. When I picked it, I couldn't see it in public, or else it would immediately turn into smoke. I directly sealed it in ice and brought it here."
Hearing his words, Bai Suzhen discovered that there were indeed three stalks of red spiritual herbs in the icicle, which were similar in color to the Seven Star Snow Orchid. Carefully looking at them, she asked, "You can enter and exit the Nine Netherworld Cave at any time now?"
"That's right. Now, I can enter and exit the Ninth Netherworld Cave at any time." Yue Qianchou smiled proudly. Then, his expression turned solemn as he said, "Sis, let's not waste any more time. I still have to rush back. Let's start now!"
He raised the three icicles with his palm, and the cyan flame that had become faintly transparent due to the lowered temperature instantly wrapped around the icicles. The three icicles instantly turned into mist and evaporated, while the three spirit herbs also turned into sparkling red spiritual liquid. Yue Qianchou looked at the changes in his palm. His gaze deepened as he said, "Udumbara Guarding the Soul, Soul Replenishing the Soul, and Seven Star Body Building. There are three portions of each. Although this Seven Orifices Exquisite Pill only requires these three spirit herbs to refine, each of them is a precious treasure and is truly hard to come by. Sis, toss in the other two. "
Bai Suzhen obeyed and tossed the Udumbara Flower and Seven Star Blood Orchid into the azure flames. Yue Qianchou immediately acted as if he was facing a great enemy. He carefully controlled the flames with a cold expression. After all, these were not ordinary spirit pills. It would be a pity if they were wasted.
Bai Suzhen shifted her gaze from the azure flames to Yue Qianchou's face. His exceptionally serious expression made Bai Suzhen feel a little dazed! He was no longer that useless disciple Aung Kwang-tsung from back then. The massive wealth and manpower that Utopia possessed were all built by him step by step. Once these powers matured and officially appeared in the cultivation world, it would definitely shock the world! Just how far could he go on this path …
After an unknown period of time, a red light suddenly appeared in the room, pulling Bai Suzhen back from her daze. She saw Yue Qianchou's palm emitting a red light that resembled blood patterns. The red light rippled gently in the room. With a smile on his face, Yue Qianchou picked up a pill to take a look. He couldn't see the shape of the pill in his fingers. All he could see was a blood-red shadow. It was clearly a demonic color, but it didn't feel demonic. The pure red patterns were soft.
"You've succeeded?" Bai Suzhen said in surprise. Yue Qianchou smiled and said, "Nine pills in one cauldron. Not a single one is missing. It's done."
At that moment, everyone in Utopia cast their gazes above Ethereal Peak. They saw the entire Ethereal Palace suddenly emit a blood-red glow that soared into the sky. After the wind and clouds in the sky were stimulated by the red light, they stirred silently. Gradually, the wind and clouds formed the shape of a dragon and a tiger. They circled and chased each other. It was a spectacular sight. After a full 15 minutes, the blood-red light converged. Only then did the dragon and tiger gradually dissipate, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
The two people in the room were still looking at the Spirit Pills. They didn't know that when the pills were formed, an auspicious sign had already appeared in the sky outside. This was a sign that would only appear when a truly heaven-defying Spirit Pill had been refined. The Seven Orifices Exquisite Pill could compete with the heavens and earth, so it was naturally a heaven-defying Spirit Pill.
"Sis, I'll take one and leave first. Give the remaining two to my parents. Keep the rest safe. I'll get them from you when I need them." Yue Qianchou gave eight Spirit Pills to Bai Suzhen and put one into his storage bag. He smiled and left.
By the time he returned to Myriad Fragrance Garden, it was already the next morning. Furong had been waiting for him in the room. When she saw him, she called out happily, "Yue Qianchou." No matter how close the two of them were, Furong liked to call him that, and every time she called him that, she would be very happy.
"I'm going to the mulberry garden to find Aunt Jiu. After I see her, I might leave immediately," Yue Qianchou hugged her and whispered into her ear. Furong hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."
"Be good!" Yue Qianchou directly said these two words. Furong understood what he meant and didn't say much. She only said quietly, "Then you have to come and see me often. As time goes by, I'll miss you very much."
Yue Qianchou pushed her away and smiled in return. He resolutely turned around and opened the door. When he opened the door, he saw that Zi Yi was still standing at the door, looking back at him. Yue Qianchou unsheathed the longsword on his back and soared into the sky. Zi Yi immediately followed. Furong ran out of the room and blankly stared at the two figures flying away …
In the mulberry garden, they faced each other again. Yue Qianchou stepped forward and bowed to Ma Jiu, asking, "Aunt Jiu, have you made up your mind?"
Ma Jiu gently pushed away Lan Bingxue, who was supporting her, and walked to Yue Qianchou with the help of her walking stick. She looked at him and asked, "Yue Qianchou, this old woman will entrust you with a task that is within your ability. However, this task may take a long time. Can you promise me?"
Yue Qianchou was slightly stunned. From what she said, it seemed that she didn't want to live for another one hundred and fifty years. Could it be that there was something that she could do in exchange for prolonging her life? He couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Jiu, do you have something else you want me to do?"
Ma Jiu shook her head and said, "Answer me first. If it is within your ability, can you guarantee that no matter how much energy and time you spend, you can fulfill your promise to this old woman?"
"This Junior will naturally do it if it's within my ability," replied Yue Qianchou respectfully.
"Good!" Ma Jiu's old eyes suddenly lit up and she slowly said, "I want you to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, this old woman will entrust the safety of Yan Zixia and her daughter to you. You must do your best to protect them and not let anyone harm them, unless you, Yue Qianchou, are no longer in this world. Can you do it?"
"This …" Yue Qianchou didn't expect such a request. He frowned and said, "Forgive this Junior for speaking bluntly, but this Junior will think of a way to prolong Senior's life by 150 years. With Senior on Supporting Immortal Island, won't you be able to protect them better than this Junior?"
He just wanted to solve this problem once and for all and didn't want to create another burden. What he didn't know was that Ma Jiu wanted this promise from him was because she found out that Yan Zixia had fallen in love with him. Ma Jiu was prepared to use this promise at a critical time to fulfill their marriage. But now, the situation in the cultivation world didn't look good and Ma Jiu faintly felt that something big was about to happen.
"The women of the Guan Clan have suffered too much, and the women who married out of the Guan Clan suffered even more. None of them had a good ending, and this seems to have become the fate of the Guan Clan's women. That's why I've never married. Back then, I was the one who supported the marriage between Yan Bu Gui and Bai Hua. My goal was to prevent the men from the Guan Family from arranging her fate, so that she could escape the fate of dying a horrible death. But I was wrong. Yan Bu Gui has disappointed me too much. Since this old woman made a mistake, this old woman has to bear the consequences. But no one knows what will happen in the future, and I'm afraid that this old woman won't be able to protect them. Yue Qianchou, this old woman believes that you can prolong this old woman's life by 150 years. But this old woman has lived long enough, so I'm willing to exchange my 150 years with you. Help me protect them and don't let anyone bully them! "Ma Jiu slowly said.
So that's how it is! Yue Qianchou hesitated. To be honest, it wasn't a good thing to accept this task. It was definitely a troublesome matter. But the debt of the past must be repaid. He just didn't expect the interest to be so heavy. Yue Qianchou took a deep breath and nodded with a sigh. "This Junior will agree to Senior's request."
