Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Speaking of the Beast Kings delivering medicines, the most impressive instance was the day Jun Mo Xie opened the door to see Earth Cracker running over carrying a huge object. It was several feet tall, and its roots swayed in the air. There was a lump that looked like it was a thousand pounds at the top!

Jun Mo Xie couldn’t help but be taken aback at the sight! That giant object was actually a giant Chinese knotweed ¹ that was several tens of thousands of years of age! It turned out that when Tiger King was on duty, he discovered that there was this vine on the mountain that looked similar to a certain type of medicinal herb brother-in-law had described. Thus, he deployed a few hundred ninth level Xuan Beasts to shave away an entire mountain to dig this entire thing out perfectly. Then, he came over excitedly to offer this treasure.

This was Earth Cracker after his breakthrough; otherwise, the average person was really incapable of lifting something this heavy—a super giant knotweed that was thousands of pounds!

It was said that medicinal herbs like the Chinese knotweed were very different from other types of medicinal herbs. Most other medicines, no matter how precious or rare, would turn into ashes the moment it reached tens of thousands of years of age, returning the Spiritual Qi back to heaven and earth. Only Chinese knotweed was not restricted by this limitation, no matter how old it was. But it was also precisely because of this uniqueness that the Chinese knotweed Earth Cracker found was also extremely rare. Even the Nine Nether First Young Master’s giant pile of rare medicines didn’t have it…

Without any delay, Jun Mo Xie immediately tucked this enormous object into the Hongjun Pagoda, as if he had just obtained the most precious treasure.

Naturally, all the Beast Kings had the same mindset as to why they were working so hard. Brother-in-law, you should hurry up and concoct pills! We are all waiting to enhance our strength! With greater strength, then we can go and thoroughly beat up those goddamn wretched trash from the Holy Land… to get revenge for Big Sis…

Jun Mo Xie had a thousand and one things to do, but after finally setting up all the various formations in place, he immediately put the task of concocting pills into his schedule.

Strength was indeed the most important!

Tian Fa Forest was undoubtedly very strong, and the Xuan Beasts were also extremely united. The entire forest was equivalent to a piece of iron, and the Saints would not dare to come in recklessly. However, even if they didn’t dare to come in recklessly, it didn’t mean that they absolutely didn’t dare to come in… There was always the risk of accidents.

To give one of the simplest examples… The three Holy Lands outside Tian Fa gathered a group of their strongest experts and joined forces to attack. As long as they did not rush and knew when to stop, they would definitely be able to achieve relatively considerable battle results.

Aside from external troubles, there were also internal worries… Jun Mo Xie would not forget that there was an immensely powerful power sealed in the mist within Tian Fa Forest: the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master!

When it came to the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, Jun Mo Xie would sometime think that… if there were no such madman in the world, it would be a little too peaceful…

Furthermore, the people from Misty Illusory Manor could also enter Tian Fa! A very safe fort was not absolutely safe! This was knowledge that needed to be understood!

Even if it was not clear whether they were enemies, Jun Mo Xie was still determined to remain on guard! If it wasn’t someone he could really acknowledge, Jun Mo Xie would never let his guard down!

For two consecutive nights, Jun Mo Xie created large amounts of Vitality Linkage Pills, Vitality Congregation Pills, and Heavenly Vitality Pill in batches—no less than two thousand of each type!

Since the metamorphosis of the inside of his meridians to purple spirit energy, the Young Master Jun had improved greatly his efficiency in concocting pills! Originally when producing these three great pills, he could at most make a few furnaces in one night, and sometimes, there was a chance of failure.

But now, he could produce three to four furnaces in two hours. And the success rate had increased significantly! Originally, he could only produce ten pills from one furnace; now, he could make at least fifty! And useless pills? There was no such thing!

This let Jun Mo Xie truly feel the benefits of this purple Spiritual Qi. Not only did it surpass the original white Spiritual Qi by several times in its toughness, its compatibility with The Flame of Primal Chaos and the Furnace of Good Fortune was impeccably perfect! It was as if these three were meant to be a single family…

Jun Moxie vaguely sensed that his guess should be very close to the truth…

Jun Mo Xie didn’t know that his guess was not close to the truth, but it was literally the truth!

The Flame of Primal Chaos and the Furnace of Good Fortune were objects made from Purple Qi before primal chaos! Lasting throughout time!

The newly born purple Qi in his meridians were the origins of the Flame of Primal Chaos and the Furnace of Good Fortune: Primal Chaos Purple Qi!

If you still had accidents when using Primal Chaos Purple Qi to activate the Flame of Primal Chaos and the Furnace of Good Fortune, especially if you could create low-quality medicines from it…

Then the great Pan Gu ² who had parted heaven and earth would need to go and commit suicide…

But then again, Jun Mo Xie’s current Primal Chaos Purple Qi was still too weak, so it was still incapable of supporting his endless alchemy for a long time. By the time it got really strong, then it would really get impressive…

However, even if total amount of Spiritual Qi was not enough to keep up, Young Master Jun was too dedicated. Even the most dedicated of Dan Practitioners would not be like him. Grabbing a few types of medicinal ingredients, he concocted pills like crazy, without taking a single break… as if he had not eaten a single proper meal that filled his stomach for ten whole years and he had suddenly walked into a free buffet, if he didn’t eat his fill, he refused to stop…

What was even more enviable was that this fellow was also backed by almost inexhaustible medical materials! Most people would stop concocting pills after creating a few furnaces because they ran out of raw materials…

But this fellow had it good; not only did he have the entire supply of Tian Fa Forest, he also had the treasured collection of the Nine Nether First Young Master… Those were all high quality treasures!

Thus, two days and night passed quickly. Jun Mo Xie’s dedicated working also finally came to a halt. Stretching his back and cracking his bones, he decided to step outside for some fresh air.

He originally wanted to let Mei Xue Yan practice beside him while he was concocting pills, but Mei Xue Yan had just reached the first level of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune and was still way far from reaching the standards of the fourth level of the Hongjun Pagoda… Left without any choice, Young Master Jun had to give up on this decision…

But Jun Mo Xie was astonished when he stepped out. Although the current Mei Xue Yan had yet to breakthrough in her Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, but with constant practice and absorption of large quantities of Spiritual Qi, she had already leapt straight up into the tier of a seventh level Xuan Beast…

This left Young Master Jun feeling unfair. That is too fast?! Who is this? Oh, no, it should be: What beast is this! This is too beast-like! Even this young master did not have such rapid advancement! It hasn’t even been that many days yet!

Young Master Jun had clearly neglected an important thing. While he clearly was constantly practicing and improving himself, but when he was outside, the Spiritual Qi was extremely rare. And his time outside was also significantly longer than his time within the Hongjun Pagoda.

Whereas Mei Xue Yan directly practiced in the Hongjun Pagoda. No matter whether it was eating, drinking, or sleeping, she was constantly enveloped in the Spiritual Qi in the Hongjun Pagoda!

If she was not fast, then that would really be weird!

It was true that Mei Xue Yan was advancing at a beast-like speed, but Young Master Jun was worse than a beast!

Naturally Mei Xue Yan was extremely happy to see Jun Mo Xie coming over to her side. Clearly, she was quite satisfied with the results she achieved with her practice during this period of time…

Although she still couldn’t accept being close to Jun Mo Xie in her current form, this time, she did not intentionally avoid him, but instead, allowed Jun Mo Xie to hold her in his arms.

Because this hug… it was only when she had lost it onc, did she truly realize how much she desired this warm hug… And it was only when she was in his arms did Mei Xue Yan feel that no matter what, she had someone she could rely on.

She had walked on the path of one strong and lonely for so many years. Although she was standing at the peak and held in awe, she had never felt a sense of belonging. It was always lonely at the top. But although it was lonely and cold, she had persevered and made it through. At first, she didn’t feel anything, as if this was simply how life was. From the moment she was born, she worked hard to become strong, to throw her life away on the battlefield of the War for Seizing the Heavens…

As if that was her final destination, the fate she was destined for!

Mei Xue Yan didn’t feel anything about it. She had gotten used to accepting her fate a long time ago.

Although she had never felt what happiness was like.

What sort of feeling happiness was, she had never experienced it before…

But since the appearance of this hug, she knew. She truly understood it.

She knew the meaning of her life: it was not only Tian Fa, not only the War for Seizing the Heavens!

It turned out that in this world, there was another type of beautiful thing that could make her put down the War for Seizing the Heavens or even give up everything unconditionally, something that she would protect and cherish even if everything went up in flames…

So this was what was most precious in life.

Only by having him, her life became complete. She could still sacrifice herself in the War for Seizing the Heavens, but she would still have lingering attachments. The War for Seizing the Heavens, the sake of the world was an ideal or goal of the past… it was not living, and it was not what life was all about. It wasn’t the meaning for her existence!!

Without all those things, at that moment, when she had no other worries, she… only wished to have a partner she could rely on for the rest of her life! To watch the sun rise with him, enjoy the night breeze with him. Admire the flowers in spring, experience thundering storms in summer, watch the moon in autumn, and in winter… experience the ice and snow, or hide in a house that was built in the heavy snow, hibernating!

Precisely because they had each other, even the coldest snow would become tender and warm…

The moment she was back in Jun Mo Xie’s embrace, Mei Xue Yan could clearly feel herself shuddering. Her soul was shuddering because of the happiness…

Mei Xue Yan could distinctly feel the love from this hug and how unwilling it was to part from her. So she didn’t care anymore. No matter what sort of worries, she didn’t care about them anymore… No matter how my appearance changes, I am his most beautiful Xue Yan, his most beautiful lover, the person he loves the most!

It doesn’t matter if I’m in my human form or my original form!

If this is the case, then what else do I have to care about?

Jun Mo Xie was delighted!

In the Hongjun Pagoda, he could clearly feel that Mei Xue Yan had a thorough and complete awareness to have finally let go of things!

This girl had managed to breakthrough her frame of mind significantly and successfully unlock the lock in her heart on her own!

This was really delightful!

He hugged her silently, the both of them in a mutual understanding. Although they did not say a single word, but… the silence right now… spoke louder than words!
