"Oh? There's such a pill? "Jiang Xiaorou was taken aback.
The bloodline of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins was not something ordinary pills could have an effect on. Even if there was a way to enhance the bloodline, it would be a mystic art among mystic arts. At the same time, it would consume large amounts of resources, and the effects would not be obvious.
Jiang Xiaorou guessed that Yi Yun's pills were impressive, but they were likely only effective on humans. It was hard to say how effective they were on the Heaven Fey royalty.
However, Jiang Xiaorou thought nothing of it. After some thought, she said, "I will get the Treasure Fey Pagoda to keep an eye out. I will get them to spread the news through some underground channels."
"Alright." Yi Yun nodded.
Jiang Xiaorou was Princess Soft Clouds. With her help, he would naturally be able to find them much faster than if he had to find them himself.
"Yun 'er, Xintong, stay in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. I still have many things to tell you." Jiang Xiaorou held Yi Yun's hand as her eyes shimmered with joy.
Yi Yun smiled. "Don't worry, Sis Xiaorou. We won't leave even if you chase us away. I'm just afraid you will find me annoying when you see me. "
"Now you are teasing me," said Jiang Xiaorou with a chuckle.
They conversed for a while before Jiang Xiaorou prepared to get someone to arrange for Yi Yun and company to stay. Following that, she sent out a few voice transmission talismans, getting people to spread the news in Treasure Fey Pagoda and pay attention to the news of the treasures and Fey cores.
After doing all of this, Jiang Xiaorou pulled Yi Yun along for lunch. It was rare for the siblings to reunite like this, so the meal was especially heartwarming.
After lunch, Jiang Xiaorou planned on sending Yi Yun to Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, but she suddenly realized that Rain Numinous was still standing by the hall's entrance.
"Auntie Rain."
"Is Young Master Lin your younger brother?"
"Yes …" Jiang Xiaorou realized that Rain Numinous did not seem happy.
"The news of the treasures you spread in Treasure Fey Pagoda has something to do with your brother?"
Jiang Xiaorou felt a little embarrassed when Rain Numinous said that.
"Do you know that your present identity is very subtle in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins? Countless eyes are watching you."
Jiang Xiaorou fell silent. She knew that it was impossible for Rain Numinous to like Yi Yun. If Yi Yun was a descendant of a pure-blooded Fey family clan, Rain Numinous would obviously be happy. She believed that they had another useful person, but Yi Yun was a human.
The demons despised humans to begin with. Furthermore, Jiang Xiaorou's status was special. Her mother was of low birth and she was favored by the Blood King. There were many who criticized her to begin with, and now, she had a human brother.
Not only that, Jiang Xiaorou even used the Treasure Fey Pagoda's resources to search for natural treasures for her brother.
"Leave Young Master Lin's arrangements to me. The Treasure Fey Pagoda is still lacking a red-clothed shopkeeper. He can stay in the Treasure Fey Pagoda. Before you become a Fey Thearch, it's best that Young Master Lin doesn't stay in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. It's best that you don't see him often. As for providing Young Master Lin with resources, it's not impossible, but don't affect your cultivation. Do you know the value of those treasures you found?"
When Rain Numinous said that, there was a hint of anger in her voice. She had followed the Blood King for many years and her cultivation level was close to that of a Fey Thearch. In the Blood King Palace, her standing was even higher than the concubines. She was considered Jiang Xiaorou's senior.
Usually, Rain Numinous was very polite to Jiang Xiaorou, but when she encountered matters that she disapproved of, she would reprimand Jiang Xiaorou.
"I have no idea how long it will take for me to become a Fey Thearch." Jiang Xiaorou frowned. She understood what Rain Numinous meant. She did not want her to acknowledge Yi Yun before she became a Godly Monarch.
The position of crown prince was a very sensitive one. The future Ruins Emperor would address a human as brother and sister. Furthermore, their relationship was so close. How could the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins be at ease with handing the position of Ruins Emperor to Jiang Xiaorou? It was even possible that Jiang Xiaorou would give away all the resources in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins.
"Your Highness, you also know that the path to becoming a Godly Monarch is long. Only when Your Highness becomes an expert like the Blood King will you have the right to protect the people around you. Your Highness and Her Highness are protected by the Blood King."
"I understand what Aunt Rain is saying. In fact, the pill that my brother wants to refine has some effects on my bloodline. Furthermore … Aunt Rain, you might not understand my brother. He will not be a burden to me. Back in the lower realm, he was the one who protected me. Without him, I would not be standing here alive. He went to the 12 Empyrean Heavens alone and did not have the support of a bloodline or family clan to obtain his present accomplishments. Now, he is the one who found me first! Aunt Rain, do you think I will become a Fey Thearch first? In fact, it's more likely that Yun 'er will become a Godly Monarch before me. "
Jiang Xiaorou trusted Yi Yun very much. Rain Numinous shook her head.
Ignoring how difficult it was to become a Godly Monarch, even if Yi Yun's talent was unparalleled, making it easy for him to become a Godly Monarch, Jiang Xiaorou was still a royal elite. It was not desirable for a royal elite to have thoughts of being inferior to human geniuses, to the point of relying on humans.
Rain Numinous felt that Jiang Xiaorou wanted to nurture Yi Yun to become a Godly Monarch. That way, Jiang Xiaorou would indeed have a more stable future, but how could the future Ruins Emperor rely on others?
Perhaps … Xiaorou's character was ultimately a little too soft. Although she had been vying all these years, it was still too difficult for her to ascend to the position of Ruins Emperor with her character.
"I'll arrange for Young Master Lin to enter Soft Clouds Mountain Manor … Also, I will report this matter to the Blood King."
Since Jiang Xiaorou refused to listen to her advice, Rain Numinous did not speak further. Everything was up to the Blood King.
…
Soft Clouds Mountain Manor was located in the back of the Heaven Fey City. It was considered outside the city, and in the vicinity, there were manors of the various royal families.
The mountain manor occupied a vast area. Although it was called a mountain manor, it was in fact no different from a tiny city.
The scenery was beautiful, and rare beasts could be seen everywhere. It could be called a paradise.
Along the way, Rain Numinous remained silent. Yi Yun and Lin Xintong followed behind Rain Numinous. In fact, Yi Yun could roughly guess what was on Rain Numinous's mind.
His appearance gave Jiang Xiaorou even greater pressure.
Moreover, the resources he was looking for were all priceless treasures.
Unfortunately, he had expended too much of the harvest he obtained in the God Confusion Valley. If not, he would not have placed Sis Xiaorou in such a difficult position.
"Stay in the mountain manor for the time being. If there's anything you need, you can tell me at any time …" When Rain Numinous said that, she gave Yi Yun a deep, meaningful look. "Now is a critical period for Her Highness. She needs large amounts of resources to nourish her bloodline. In two years, there will be a competition for the Fey Altar spots that will affect Her Highness's future! Her Highness must not fail! "
Competition for the Fey Altar spots?
Yi Yun's heart stirred, but he did not probe further.
Rain Numinous continued, "Now, everyone in the mountain manor is conserving resources. The Blood King has also provided large amounts of resources to Her Highness. Therefore, please forgive me if I'm inconsiderate to the both of you. "
Rain Numinous's attitude was cold, but her tone remained polite.
How could Yi Yun not understand what she was getting at? He had changed his appearance because of the Heavenly Dao fragment, but he felt that he could not keep a low profile. Sis Xiaorou was already in a terrible state. If he kept a low profile, she would probably not be able to last much longer. And the refinement of the Myriad Form Shura Pills was even more impossible.
"Senior Rain, you might have some misunderstandings about me. Back when I got Sis Xiaorou to seek out natural treasures, I did have the intention of getting her help. However, the pills refined from those treasures would also be of great help to her."
When Yi Yun said that, Rain Numinous only gave him a nonchalant glance. She could not even be bothered to question him. How could a human understand the Heaven Fey bloodline that was an absolute secret in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins? Even many Fey Thearchs did not know of the mystic arts that enhanced one's bloodline.
"Senior Rain, there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. However, I heard that Soft Clouds Mountain Manor has taken in many mercenaries. In that case, mercenaries can also instruct me on missions. I'm rather confident in my strength. Since I'm staying here, it's not right for me to stay for free. As long as it's a miscellaneous task below the Godly Monarch realm, I can resolve most of it. "
When Yi Yun said that, Rain Numinous was taken aback. She immediately turned angry.
Anything below the Godly Monarch realm was actually a miscellaneous task.
This Yi Yun was truly arrogant!
Even Rain Numinous herself was not at the Fey Thearch or Godly Monarch realm!
"Fairy Rain, is this human a new mercenary? What an arrogant person. Does he mean that mercenaries like us are doing miscellaneous tasks? "
At that moment, more than ten Fey warriors walked over from a small path in the mountain manor. Most of them were at the Fey Lord realm and were dressed differently.
They were mercenaries of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor.
Yi Yun gave them a nonchalant glance. In fact, he had long noticed them walking over. How could they not come out to welcome Rain Numinous, who was like a steward of the Blood King Palace?
Despite noticing Yi Yun, they had still said those words. In fact, they had no intention of keeping a low profile.
Rain Numinous did not say a word when faced with this scene. From her point of view, Yi Yun was also a mercenary. Furthermore, he was not easy to deal with. The mercenaries of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor were all capable people. They were naturally arrogant and refused to submit to anyone else. It was not the first time they had a dispute with each other. The mercenary squabbles were to be resolved by themselves. She was more than happy to embroil Yi Yun in it. She could take the opportunity to beat him down.
Noticing that Rain Numinous was not saying a word, Yi Yun understood her intentions. He laughed out loud. "Senior Rain, what did you say just now? Has Soft Clouds Mountain Manor been conserving resources for Her Highness Soft Clouds' cultivation all these years? "
"I was curious just now. Is Soft Clouds Mountain Manor that strapped for money? Now, I finally understand why Soft Clouds Mountain Manor has nurtured such a motley crew. All these people do is take the money without doing anything. Do they think they can vie for the position of crown prince just by eating and drinking? What a joke! If this goes on, Her Highness Soft Clouds might as well give up early. If these resources are saved and handed to me, I can guarantee that they will be used where they are needed most, allowing Her Highness Soft Clouds to improve further! "
Yi Yun said indifferently. As a human, it would be too conspicuous for him to mingle with a bunch of Fey. If he kept a low profile, there was no need to refine the Myriad Form Shura Pills. Even if Sis Xiaorou wanted to help him, she was only a junior. Could she use the Treasure Fey Pagoda's resources as she pleased?
It was pointless if he could not afford the information he obtained!
Upon hearing Yi Yun say that, the other mercenaries of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor were immediately infuriated. Even Rain Numinous was displeased. Yi Yun was too insolent.
"Good! How interesting! " The mercenaries present were infuriated by Yi Yun. A Fey Lord had a faint Heaven Fey totem appear behind him. He was also from the Heaven Fey clan, but he was not royalty. His bloodline powers were limited.
But even so, he was one of the best among the Heaven Fey. He said, "Senior Rain, don't let such an arrogant fool stay in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. Such a person can't accomplish anything, but he's good at spoiling things. Today, I'll cripple him and kick him out!"
The Fey Lord leaped as all his lifeblood powers erupted. Like a ferocious beast that had been released from its cage, he charged at Yi Yun.
"Boom!"
He punched out as his lifeblood powers boomed!
Yi Yun did not even move. Beside him, the silent Lin Xintong charged at the Fey Lord like a ghost.
"Whew!"
Her sword was unsheathed as a sword beam flashed like snow. Instantly, the Fey Lord felt his surging lifeblood seem to encounter the coldness of the deepest abyss. All of it froze as his blood seemed to freeze. All he could do was watch helplessly as the sword stabbed at his chest.
"Puah!"
Blood splattered as it condensed into ice in midair!
The other mercenaries that were on good terms with the Fey Lord saw that something was amiss as they charged forward. However, Lin Xintong's attacks were as swift as the wind. Every strike was tricky, and a second person was sent flying by Lin Xintong's strike.
"This woman is that strong?"
Everyone was alarmed. The Fey were infuriated to be suppressed by a human woman. One of the mercenaries converged his aura in a bid to sneak an attack on Lin Xintong, but at that moment, another figure flew out of the God Advent Tower that Yi Yun carried with him.
The figure was also a woman. She was none other than Shan Ling!
Shan Ling also had a Fey Lord cultivation level. Previously, she had been severely injured in the Xuanyuan Dune. Without any Chaos Ores to replenish her lifeblood, she had lost all her strength, just like when Yi Yun first arrived in the Chaos Heavens. But now, her lifeblood powers had been replenished. Furthermore, Yi Yun had given her the Shaomang family clan's core cultivation techniques. Not only had her strength recovered, it was even better than when she was at her peak.
Although she was not necessarily stronger than the Fey Lord mercenaries, it was not a problem for her to fend them off.
"Boom!"
The two fists collided. The sneak attack was blocked by Shan Ling's palm, and at the same time, Lin Xintong slashed out with her sword. This strike was aimed straight at the mercenary's throat!
Sneak attacks were despicable to begin with, so Lin Xintong did not hold back.
The sword flash was unbelievably fast as it sliced open a black rift in space!
Seeing the sword flash approach, the Fey Lord felt his entire body being locked down by the sword's might. He could not move at all. The cold beam on the sword left him no doubt that his head would fly off the next moment.
"Ah!"
On the brink of life and death, the Fey Lord cried out in horror.
"That's enough!"
At that moment, Yi Yun said lightly. His voice was clearly slow, but in that split second, he had calmly finished his sentence.
"Cha!"
Lin Xintong's sword came to an abrupt halt, right in the Fey Lord's flesh and blood.
A quarter of his neck had been sliced open!
The sword completely sank in as blood flowed down Lin Xintong's ice-cold blade. The physical defense that the Fey were proud of was like thin paper to Lin Xintong's sword.
If not for Yi Yun's command to stop, the Fey Lord would have been beheaded by Lin Xintong.
Instantly, there was silence. The Fey Lord whose neck had been sliced open by Lin Xintong trembled slightly. He did not dare move an inch.
"I've already said that you are just a bunch of rabble. You can't even beat my woman and maidservant, yet you are here freeloading. If I were you, I would have committed suicide out of shame. " As Yi Yun spoke, he gave Yurou a nonchalant glance. He had done all of this because of this troublesome woman.
"What? Maidservant? " The mercenaries present looked at Shan Ling suddenly. Shan Ling was slightly weaker, so the so-called maidservant could only be her.
