Chapter 1809 - Floral Scent (1/2)
“The powerful Immortal Vampire behind you is Qi Xiaotian?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
“That is right.”
“What blood pill is he making?” asked Zhang Ruochen thoughtfully.
“The Millennium Blood Pill. It requires the blood of three thousand three hundred and thirty-three humans and a vast number of sacred herbs to make that thing,” said Qi Sheng.
“Once the pill is successfully made, attaining the Precept Domain level would be like a walk in the park for Qi Xiaotian. By then, no one around the Yunwu Commandery and Qianshui Commandery would be his match, and he would start making them even more potent Mega Blood Pill.”
“The amount of blood needed to make the Mega Blood Pill is ten times that of the Millennium Blood Pill.”
“So, Zhang Ruochen, your enemy is him, not us. If you want to kill Qi Xiaotian and take the semi-finished Millennium Blood Pill, we can be your guide. We just hope you would spare our lives.”
Ying Huo knew what Qi Sheng was thinking: he was actually leading Zhang Ruochen into a death trap.
Zhang Ruochen was powerful now, no doubt. But compared to Qi Xiaotian, the difference was still too huge.
Knowing what Qi Sheng was up to, Zhang Ruochen shot him a sideways glance. “The Millennium Blood Pill is invaluable to the Immortal Vampires. But it is the root of all evils in my eyes. Even if I got it, I would only destroy it.”
He used to refine the blood of the Supreme Kings and divine blood, but things made from the blood of thousands of ordinary people really disgusted him. He would destroy it. He could not imagine consuming it.
“I guess Kai s.h.i.+ is also with Qi Xiaotian?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
There was a fleeting sense of delight in Qi Sheng’s eyes, and he saw that Zhang Ruochen was not killing them at the moment. “He is. Qi Xiaotian has found Kai s.h.i.+ an ancient vein to help heal his wound and break through into Nine-step Saint Kinghood.”
“An ancient vein? Where?” Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat.
“In Dark Wasteland, east of Luoshui.”
Almost every cultivator of the Yunwu Commandery knew that Dark Wasteland was a piece of desolate wilderness on the far side of the Eastern Region. It was said that it bordered the East Sea.
If Dark Wasteland has an ancient vein, Zhang Ruochen would definitely want to check it out.
He was not going to kill Qi Sheng and Ying Huo for now, but just blocked off their meridians and bloodline and held them into his Qiankun Realm. He then headed straight to the polar region to rendezvous with Ji Fanxin.
As he approached the polar region, the stone column erected on the earth started to block his field of vision.
The column stood like a wall towering into the sky.
The giant beast bound on the stone column still looked incredibly powerful. Zhang Ruochen felt some invisible force was suppressing his strength, preventing him from even using a tenth of his power.
Dimension was also becoming denser as he kept going.
He could not perform a Dimensional s.h.i.+ft here. All he was left of was riding the Golden Dragon Carriage to move ahead.
As he rode the Dragon Carriage and carefully observed the patterns on the stone column, he found that those patterns contained some mysterious Path, just like the G.o.ds’ engravings in the Celestial Domain of Truth.
But he knew for sure that these were not the Path of Truth.
250 miles from the stone column, beautiful flowers suddenly grew out of the black earth. Green leaves and gorgeous colorful petals made the place look like a dreamland.
Ji Fanxin, wearing a white dress, gracefully walked out of the sea of flowers and then hopped onto the Golden Dragon Carriage.
“Why are you appearing in your true form, Fairy?” Zhang Ruochen looked at her with surprise.
Ji Fanxin pressed her lips together and let out a smile of boundless elegance. Zhang Ruochen was awestruck and could not take his eyes off her.
Many figures of higher stature than Zhang Ruochen in the Celestial Court were trying to court this Fairy of a Thousand Flowers, yet they all hit a brick wall with her. The biggest accomplishment of any man was to get Fairy to smile at him.
Seeing Ji Fanxin getting closer, and as the tip of her hair fluttered past his face with a light floral scent, Zhang Ruochen became restless. “Fairy… you…”
“Shh, don’t say anything.”
Her soft voice came as her soft body leaned in his arms. Her soft hand touched his face while the other curled around his waist.
His every muscle stiffened. “Fairy, did-did you get rid of the drug of that old man from your body?”
“That drug is too strong. You gotta help me…”
Her pink lips moved closer to his ear, and her enticing breath was rubbing against his skin, exciting his every nerve.
At that moment, her hands turned into petals, extending from his face and waist and wrapping around his body.
As he could not move a muscle, he suddenly came to his senses.
This is not right. She is not Ji Fanxin. Who is using spiritual power against me?
Boom!
A scorching Divine Purification Flame burst out of his body, blowing the petal wrapping around him away. The petals went up in flames and were burned to ashes.
Following immediately, he lunged up in the air and went several hundred feet away.
As soon as he landed, he saw Ji Fanxin standing not far away.
She looked different this time. Not that alluring anymore, but in the exact look of after she changed her appearance.
“Who are you?”
