Chapter 370 The Ancient Ferocious Beast Taotie
Zhenyuan Pill?
Yingyu was quite surprised.
She grew up in the Yingzhao family since childhood, how could she not know about the True Essence Pill?
After reaching the Great Realm, the chances of breaking through to the First Realm are incredibly slim in the sparse spiritual energy of the Nine Provinces and Four Seas.
But it would be different if we had True Essence Pills.
True Essence Pills can help those at the Great Realm break through their limitations and extend their lifespan. Even in a place like the Divine Mountain, they are rare and precious!
Unexpectedly, she was able to see the True Essence Pill.
"What good things hasn't the princess seen? Why would she covet something like this?"
Yingyu looked disdainful.
But his eyes remained fixed on the pills.
Having ruled the clan for so many years, what couldn't Yin E have figured out?
"Princess, please calm down. Since the princess doesn't like this, I'll offer it to you as a substitute. I hope you won't find it offensive."
"Never mind, I'll just accept it reluctantly. It's such a hassle."
Yingyu stuffed the pill into her sleeve and looked inside.
"Since you are injured, I will go and inform the Princess that you have had a long journey and will need to rest for a few days."
Yin E breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with even greater respect: "Thank you, Lady Consort. Please put in a good word for me with the Princess."
"Tch, I've asked you to say a few nice words to me. If it weren't for the fact that our two clans have some connection, why would I help you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, what the lady says is true."
With a forced smile, Yin E finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person off.
The little slave who served her couldn't stand it and was furious.
"What are you so proud of? You're just a dog by the Princess's side, yet you dare to treat the young clan leader like that."
"Alright, that's enough."
"Young clan leader, I'm really furious!" the little slave said indignantly. "If it weren't for my Northern Yin clan, how could the princess have had the chance to go to the sacred mountain, or get close to the imperial princess? And now, she dares to ride roughshod over us!"
Yin E was not feeling any better.
“You only see her arrogance when she is in power, but as far as I know, the humiliation she suffered before becoming a princess was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.”
She had inquired about Yingzi.
After arriving at the sacred mountain, she didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she casually dismissed her. Unexpectedly, the woman became involved with the slave who kept the mountain beasts that very day.
The little slave was ugly and covered in filth from cleaning up animal droppings all day. Even so, she could bring herself to hurt him. It was only because she had formed a contract with this slave that she was able to stay.
Later, the pet crane suddenly went mad, and she risked her life to save the princess. Only then did she gain the princess's favor and appreciation, and was chosen to serve by her side.
Yingyu was quite capable. By serving the princess, she cultivated good relations with many clans in the sacred mountain and presented the princess with many handsome companions. These companions, in gratitude to Yingyu, made her position even more secure.
"This person is definitely not to be underestimated. You should watch your words in the future," Yin E instructed.
The little slave was indignant, but could only nod.
"Understood, young clan leader."
......
Moonlight poured down.
The main hall of the sacred mountain is magnificent and solemn.
This place symbolizes the highest status of the sacred mountain, and those who enjoy all of this have the blood of the ancestor flowing through their veins, and no one dares to question it.
Yingyu stepped into the hall.
It was quiet all around.
The little slave guarding the gate quietly prostrated himself on the ground when he saw her coming.
She ignored them, walked through the corridor to the back hall, and as she approached, she could hear a series of lewd sounds.
She was used to that sound.
Countless men wanted to climb into the Empress's bed every day. These clan members, who claimed to be born from the sacred mountain and were exceptionally talented, used every trick in the book to win the Empress's favor. They were nothing like their usual high and mighty selves.
"Female concubine".
The young slaves serving outside the palace bowed when they saw her approaching.
Yingyu kicked her to make her get up.
"How many people are serving you?" she asked.
"Three lords have gone in," the slave whispered.
"Understood, let's go down."
"Yes, Lady Consort."
Yingyu waited for a while, and then she heard rustling noises inside. Soon after, three handsome clan members emerged from inside, their clothes disheveled.
Yingyu nodded to them but did not bow.
They gave her grateful smiles.
"The princess has called for water; you should go in first."
There was no rule about keeping people inside the main hall; they understood that.
Yingyu nodded: "I will give the order right away. My lord has worked hard serving the princess."
"No suffering, no suffering."
Being able to serve the princess and form a contract with her is something many people would rather die for, so how could they possibly feel it's hard work?
More importantly, if one is lucky enough to have offspring, the offspring will carry the blood of the progenitor, which is an unparalleled honor.
Yingyu understood the ambition in their eyes, nodded and smiled at them, and stepped into the hall.
Inside the palace.
Extremely extravagant.
Huamu is the base.
The ground was paved with white jade.
Ying-yu had never seen such a building in the entire country.
After all, even in a place like Kyushu, or the East Sea, there are no such magnificent palaces.
She walked slowly inside.
The bed curtains were lifted by the wind, and a delicate, white hand gently parted them.
Ying-yu quickly stepped forward to help her up.
"Princess".
She quietly looked up, and even though she had seen the princess several times, she was still stunned by the princess's beauty.
Come to think of it, the princess has the bloodline of the ancestor flowing through her veins and is a descendant of the Qilin. Her appearance is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary females. Even she, being a female herself, cannot feel the slightest bit of jealousy.
Qiang Nuo got out of bed, looking utterly dejected.
Beneath the gossamer-thin outer garment, faint traces of kisses could still be seen, a testament to the intensity of the encounter.
"You did a good job," Qiang Nuo said.
Yingyu knelt down, her face filled with fear and trepidation: "Serving the Princess is what this servant should do."
"Alright." Qiang Nuo had heard too many compliments: "I've had my men take care of that Mu family you mentioned last time."
Upon hearing this, Yingyu was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for standing up for me. I will do my best to serve you well from now on."
It's just a small matter.
Qiang Nuo didn't take this to heart.
She was showered with love and affection, so killing someone was utterly insignificant to her.
After all, she had the blood of the progenitor flowing through her veins and was a descendant of the Qilin. After her adoptive fathers recognized her, they cherished her like the apple of their eyes and were afraid that she would suffer the slightest grievance.
However, she did feel a little wronged, Qiang Nuo thought to herself.
Her other foster fathers treated her very well, but there was one who treated her very coldly.
Thinking of this, Qiang Nuo felt a little irritated: "Tomorrow, go and pick a few more clean ones and send them over."
"Yes, Princess."
Yingyu was about to leave when she heard a noise outside the door.
She turned around at the sound.
Under the moonlight.
The newcomer was dressed in a black robe, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His appearance was sharp and intimidating, and one glance was enough to inspire awe.
Yingyu was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.
"Lord Chong Su." She prostrated herself on the ground, not daring to look at him.
The ancient ferocious beast Taotie was tyrannical by nature; anyone who provoked this Yama would not even know how they died.
However, compared to Yingyu's terrified expression, Qiangnuo's eyes lit up.
"Father!"
She excitedly rushed over and tried to hug his neck affectionately, but he turned away.
Qiang Nuo didn't care, and even got used to his unfamiliarity.
After all, this was the only partner her mother had not yet married before her death.
In name only, he was her adoptive father.
In reality, under the laws of heaven and earth, even if she and he formed a bond, who could possibly say a word against it?
She can wait; she's not in a hurry.
Qiang Nuo chuckled softly, "Father, it's so late, why are you here?"
Chong Su glanced at her indifferently: "Just got back from taking care of some business. I heard you sent someone to Kyushu?"
Qiang Nuo wanted to laugh to herself.
On the surface, he was distant and cold towards her, but behind the scenes, he worried about everything for her.
Stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.
Qiang Nuo's mood instantly improved, and she said coquettishly, "It's just a small matter. My maid was bullied, and I was just standing up for her."
"A maid?"
Chong Su's gaze swept over Ying Zi, who was lying prostrate on the ground.
A powerful pressure swept over, instantly turning Yingyu's face deathly pale.
"Father!" Qiang Nuo said displeasedly, "Why are you scaring her?"
Chong Su concealed his aura.
Having lived to his age, he had seen all sorts of people, and Ying-yu's little schemes couldn't be hidden from him at all.
He took a step closer.
Yingyu lay prostrate on the ground, unable to breathe.
"I'll let it go this time. Your master is too kind to you. From now on, you must serve him wholeheartedly. Do you understand?"
“This is from the servant’s savings.”
"Get up."
Yingyu wiped the sweat from her forehead, stood up shakily, and perhaps because she was too scared, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
The True Essence Pill fell from his sleeve to the ground, rolled a few times, and rolled to the other person's feet.
Chong Su's eyes darkened.
He squatted down and picked up the True Essence Pill.
Upon seeing this, Yingyu was so frightened that her soul almost left her body.
She secretly kept the True Essence Pill from the princess.
Now that she's fallen like this, there's no way she can easily explain it away.
Chong Su gripped the pill, his expression gradually darkening.
"Where did you get this elixir?"
Yingyu knelt down again.
"Please calm down, my lord. This medicine was specially presented to the princess by Lady Yin. I was confused for a moment and forgot about it."
Chong Su kicked her in the chest.
"lie!"
The True Essence Pill has disappeared for many years.
How could a mere Yin family possess such a thing!
Yingyu spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground. She hurriedly knelt down again and said, "My lord, please spare my life. Everything I have said is true. I dare not lie. The youngest son of the Yin clan's youngest patriarch has returned from his travels throughout the Nine Provinces and specially presented this item. If my lord does not believe me, you can send someone to ask him."
Is the youngest son of the Yin clan's youngest patriarch?
Qiang Nu remembered.
A while ago, one of her partners, who had lost the use of both legs, came to her begging for his younger brother to take care of her. She felt sorry for him and agreed.
“Father, this is indeed true.”
She didn't care about elixirs at all.
However, since he was trying to please her, he was also a person of principle, and she wouldn't go against his wishes.
Chong Su clenched the pill tightly, his fingertips turning slightly white.
Back then, when the Marrow Cleansing Pill was invented, the Shenshan clan slaughtered most of the elders of the Shennong clan. The remaining members were also wiped out while fleeing, causing most of the pill formulas to disappear without a trace.
The formula for the True Essence Pill is clearly contained within it, making it absolutely impossible for it to appear in the Nine Provinces.
"Father, what's wrong?" It's just a pill, why do you look so pale?
Chong Su suppressed his thoughts and asked again, "You just said it was a gift from the Yin family?"
Yingyu dared not hide it and could only nod vigorously.
Chong Su immediately turned and left.
"Father!"
Qiang Nu chased after him, but couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.
"It's just a pill. What good pills doesn't Mount Shen have? Why make such a fuss?"
Qiang Nuo was a little annoyed. The two of them had finally met, and before they could even exchange a few words, he was leaving like this. How could she be willing to accept it?
"You too, why didn't you take out the pills sooner?"
Ying Shen's clothes were already soaked with sweat, but she still kept her spirits up.
"Princess, please calm down. Your Excellency is just worried. You have always been very careful when it comes to matters concerning the Princess. It must be that the elixir has caused something wrong with the Princess. Your Excellency is going to question the Yin family about it."
So that’s it!
Qiang Nuo thought of his anxious look and gave a spoiled snort.
"It's just a pill, it won't kill anyone, why make such a fuss?"
She knew he had feelings for her.
......
Yin Dan awoke with a start from his dream.
He was drenched in sweat.
The Mu clan is about to be exterminated, so he has to rush back.
He lifted the animal skin, but accidentally aggravated the wound on his back.
"Dan'er!"
Yin E spoke hastily, then cautiously glanced at the person beside her.
Yin Dan followed her gaze and looked over.
His tall figure blocked the moonlight filtering through the window.
From this angle, all you can see is his sharp profile.
"This is Lord Chong Su."
Yin E introduced himself, though he spoke a little haltingly.
The ancient ferocious beast Taotie severed the nine tails of the fox clan; it could crush her with a single finger.
Even at her age, she couldn't help but be afraid of such a person.
Yin Dan was also afraid.
He struggled to his feet despite his injuries and quickly knelt on the ground.
"grown ups."
Chong Su glanced at him disdainfully.
He threw the True Essence Pill on the ground.
"Where did you get this pill? If you don't tell me the truth, you know what will happen if you offend me."
Yin Dan swallowed hard and cautiously began, "This elixir... it comes from Shennong, the god of the Nine Provinces..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Dan felt someone grab his neck tightly.
Yin E was startled and quickly knelt down as well.
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"
She only has this one son.
We can't let him die like this.
Chong Su gripped his neck tightly and lifted him off the ground.
"If you don't behave, I'll massacre the Yin clan and make your people die with you."
"no, do not want......"
Yin Dan forced out two words through his teeth, his face filled with fear.
Chong Su, who disliked him, let go of him.
Yin Dan lay on the ground, his eyes filled with despair.
He pleaded, "My lord, please calm your anger. This pill was a gift from the Mu clan. The Mu clan's patriarch has awakened five spiritual veins and is exceptionally talented. I beg you, my lord, to consider the Mu clan's usefulness and ask the princess to show mercy."
He banged his head heavily on the ground.
"Please, sir, show leniency."
"Please, Your Excellency, ask the Princess to show mercy."
"Please, sir..."
He kowtowed repeatedly to the ground, humbly beginning to plead.
Chong Su couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
His hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembled slightly.
True Essence Pill.
Five spiritual veins.
Kyushu.
and many more!
Kyushu Mu clan!
"What did you just say? You asked the Princess to show leniency? What do you mean by that?"
Blood dripped onto the ground.
Yin Dan's voice was almost completely weak.
"The head of the Mu clan has offended the princess's maid..."
Chong Su was startled, and suddenly a possibility occurred to him!
