Thousand Fox City.
The diligent queen hadn't attended morning court for three days.
It was almost noon when Li Mu woke up from the bed in the harem. Phantom Princess was still sleeping soundly in his arms. The six-tailed fox demon's seductive skills were irresistible. He had been trapped in the fox's seductive attacks for three days and three nights.
However, Li Mu didn't forget that he was here for serious business. He couldn't indulge himself like this anymore.
Li Mu decided to keep a distance from this seductive body for the time being. Phantom Princess suddenly turned over and pressed her soft body tightly against his.
Li Mu changed his mind at the last minute. From tomorrow onward, he would keep a distance from her.
…
Thousand Fox City, in front of the palace.
Commander Hu Liu just told the demon officials that the morning court was canceled again.
The queen hadn't attended morning court for five days. The demon officials could only return to their offices. At this time, Li Mu wasn't sleeping in the bed in the harem. Instead, he was making jade slips.
He gave Phantom Princess the Heavenly Book of the demon race to recruit the big and small demon races.
However, it was too difficult for them to comprehend it on their own. Many demons couldn't comprehend anything at all. Li Mu simply engraved the contents of the Heavenly Book on a jade slip like he did with the Pill Cauldron Sect. He asked her to teach it according to the demon race that submitted to her.
As for the Heavenly Book of the fox race, Li Mu had already given it to her.
The lesson he learned from Xuanzong last time reminded Li Mu that he couldn't be strong alone. He also needed reliable helpers and a strong alliance behind him.
In the future, he should supervise the queen's cultivation more. When she reached the eighth level, Li Mu could do whatever he wanted in the ten continents and three islands.
There was also Phantom Princess. The heavenly fox race was one of the top races. They weren't inferior to the dragon race. It wasn't good for her to indulge in beauty all day long. Li Mu walked to the bed and patted her smooth body. "Wake up. It's time to cultivate …"
Hu Liu had already made arrangements for the Qianhu Kingdom to open a store in the Divine Capital. Aside from spiritual herbs, the Yao Kingdom also had some specialties that human cultivators urgently needed.
For example, the silk of the Silkworm Demon Clan was a material used to make immortal garments. If sold to the imperial court or the Northern Faction, they could be refined into immortal garments with defensive capabilities.
This kind of clothing was extremely popular in the cultivation world. Hu Liu had already informed the Silkworm Demon Clan to provide some silk every once in a while. Of course, the Silkworm Demon Clan's treatment here would also be greatly improved.
When Li Mu was inscribing the jade slip, Huan Ji was lying on top of him. Li Mu wanted her to cultivate but she said that after he left, she would have plenty of time to cultivate. Li Mu could only let her be.
After all, he did not have many opportunities to come to the Yao Nation.
Huan Ji hugged him from behind and rested her head on Li Mu's shoulder. Sometimes she would blow on his neck and sometimes she would kiss him on the cheek. She was completely a clingy little fairy.
Suddenly, there was a sound of vibration in the storage space. Feeling the soft body lying on his back, Li Mu felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. When he discovered that it was not the Empress who was transmitting her voice, but rather the Talisman Sect's sound-transmitting magical tool, he was slightly relieved.
Li Mu did not hide from Huan Ji. After activating the artifact, he asked, "Senior Brother, what is it?"
Xuan Jizi's voice was serious. "Junior Brother, do you have Seven Heart Flowers and Profound Heart Grass that are over 500 years old?"
Seven Heart Flowers and Profound Heart Grass were not particularly precious spiritual herbs, but anything over 500 years old, even if it was just a stalk of green foxtail grass, was worth a lot. In Li Mu's memory, there was only one kind of pill that required both of these herbs.
It was a type of pill called Demon Suppression Pill. It was used by cultivators to suppress their inner demons.
Li Mu asked, "What happened?"
Xuan Jizi said with a heavy tone, "A Grand Elder of the Spirit Array Sect failed to break through and was invaded by his inner demons. It affected his mind and almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, the Sect Master and another Grand Elder were at the sect at the time. Using the Mountain Protecting Formation, they worked together to control him. However, they also suffered heavy injuries. The people of the Spirit Array Sect came to the Pill Cauldron Sect to ask for a Demon Suppression Pill. The Pill Cauldron Sect lacks these two herbs."
Li Mu understood the Demon Suppression Pill, so he was very clear that the key to this matter was not the Seven Heart Flowers and Profound Heart Grass. Although the Demon Suppression Pill could be at least a Mystic-level pill, the Demon Suppression Pill needed to be at least a Saint-level pill to be effective on a Grand Elder of the Spirit Array Sect in the seventh realm.
Refining a Saint-level pill was as difficult as writing a Saint-level Fu-lu. Not to mention the Pill Cauldron Sect, even Li Mu himself might not be able to refine it.
He could only say to Xuan Jizi, "I'll try my best to find it."
Li Mu and Illusion Princess searched through the treasury of the Thousand Fox Nation and Illusion Princess's personal treasury. They found many Seven Heart Flowers and Profound Heart Grass, but they were far less than 500 years old. Spirit Herbs that were over 100 years old would emit dense Spirit Qi and attract cultivators, monsters, and even wild beasts. Spirit Herbs that were over 100 years old were rarely found in the wild unless they were cultivated by a family or faction with hundreds or thousands of years of history.
Illusion Princess thought for a moment and said, "The Thousand Fox Nation doesn't have them, but that doesn't mean the Tian Lang Nation and the Black Snake Nation and Flying Bear Tribe don't have them. I'll have Hu Jiu go to their territory and ask."
The Tian Lang Nation and the Thousand Fox Nation had great enmity. The Black Snake Nation and the Flying Bear Tribe had no relationship with the Thousand Fox Nation. Even if they had them, they might not give them to Hu Jiu. Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go ourselves."
Not long after, he brought Illusion Princess, one level-seven monster corpse, and ten level-six monster corpses to the Tian Lang Nation.
The Blue Wolf King and the former Monster Sect Grand Elder's corpses had been refined into monster corpses by Chen Shiyi and the others. The tiger monster was at the peak of level-six, but after it was refined, its cultivation level remained at the early stage of level-six.
In the Tian Lang Nation, the Blue Wolf King sat cross-legged in his cave abode, cultivating with his eyes closed.
He had lost his physical body in the battle of the Thousand Fox Nation. Although he had found another one later, it was impossible for him to recover his strength within ten years. Therefore, he had warned the Sirius Clan and their subordinate Demon Clans to shrink their territory and avoid conflict with the Thousand Fox Nation as much as possible.
He no longer dreamed of ruling the Monster Nation. It was already very difficult for him to keep his current territory.
At a certain moment, the Blue Wolf King, who was cultivating in his cave abode, suddenly opened his eyes with an extremely frightened expression.
He immediately flew out of his cave abode. Just as he flew into the sky, he saw a dozen streaks of light shooting toward him.
It was a powerful aura, mixed with monster Qi and corpse Qi. One of the corpses was his physical body. The Blue Wolf King's expression changed drastically. He thought that the Thousand Fox Nation had come to exterminate them. Without hesitation, he turned into a streak of light and tried to escape.
Without the support of the Demon Sect, the Tian Lang Nation was no match for the Thousand Fox Nation.
That human must have brought so many Demonic corpses with him to kill him. The Green Wolf King didn't have any fighting spirit, but just as he was about to flee, the Seventh Tier Demonic Corpse had already blocked his path. The other Demonic Corpses also quickly caught up and surrounded him.
The Blue Wolf King had no hope of escaping. He looked at Li Mu and Illusion Princess with grief and indignation. He said, "My tribe has already made concessions. Do you really want to kill us all?!"
Li Mu only wanted to borrow two spirit herbs. Just as he was about to explain his intentions, the Blue Wolf King hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made a big decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, the Tian Lang Tribe will submit to the Heavenly Fox Nation. This way, you will let me go, right?"
Li Mu and Illusion Princess looked at each other. They could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Although the Tian Lang Tribe was not as powerful as before, they were still one of the four major monster tribes. If the Blue Wolf King led the monster kings under him to fight to the death, the Thousand Fox Nation would have to pay a heavy price to exterminate or subdue them. That was why they had not done anything to the Tian Lang Tribe.
This time, they really only came to borrow two spirit herbs. They did not expect to receive such an unexpected reward.
Li Mu looked at Illusion Princess, and Illusion Princess looked at Li Mu. A cunning look flashed across their eyes.
Li Mu's mind moved, and the monster corpses retreated.
The Blue Wolf King was overjoyed. "You agree?"
Li Mu looked at him calmly and said, "The heavens are benevolent. Since you are willing to submit, I will spare your life today …"
