Heaven-defying Phoenix

The Kaiser finally woke up from his shock and looked at Jiu Muli as if he had seen a ghost.    

He was simply too shocked. A talent of twelve grids, this was practically never heard of before, let alone Jiu Muli's talent that couldn't even bear crystal column s. This was simply a demon among demons, in the entire continent, there couldn't even be a second one.    

Jiu Muli turned her head, and looking at the Kaiser, she could guess what the other party was thinking. She did not explain, but instead broke the crystal column, feeling rather guilty.    

She was also a little nervous in her heart. After all, the crystal column was hidden like this by the Kaiser, so it had no value at all.    

"That thing is not worth anything, there's no need to compensate."    

Kaiser opened his mouth wide, his face was full of smiles, like a chrysanthemum flower.    

Kaiser was truly happy. How could a genius like this, who was born in a royal family, not be excited?    

Adding the relationship between Jiu Muli and Qin Zheng, if Qin Kingdom wanted the pill in the future, it would all be a matter of words.    

Seeing that, Jiu Muli calmed his worry. He knew that his talent was too good, and that the Kaiser was also trying to rope him in. He could not help but laugh: "Then I'm really sorry."    

She really wanted to say, could she buy a few more, but she didn't think of an excuse. After all, the secrets on her body were not to be told to anyone, otherwise, only death awaited her.    

In this world, she finally understood that cultivators with strong powers could snatch anything they saw without any misgivings. It was just like how Jiu Tianxue had whipped her Emperor Bone, but Jiu Tianxue had the Hundred Flowers Palace behind him, so no one dared to say anything.    

There was no justice here, only the law of the jungle.    

"It's nothing, don't mind it."    

Kaiser smiled craftily: "Looks like we will have to add one more alchemist position in the future."    

"This... Wait until I find the Exotic Flame. "    

Jiu Muli laughed, now that the Exotic Flame did not have a shadow, how could she have the qualifications to say all these. Furthermore, she had already decided, after the Star God Pagoda opens, she would request to travel the world and completely leave Qin Zheng.    

"Whatever."    

The Kaiser did not insist, and was very generous and did not say much.    

When Qin Zheng saw this, his brows furrowed and he said coldly: "Let's go back and prepare. We need to find Exotic Flame."    

"Alright."    

Jiu Muli nodded and said to the Kaiser, "Your Majesty, please do not reveal anything regarding your innate talent to anyone else. Goodbye."    

"No problem, go ahead."    

Returning to the Jiuhua Hall, Jiu Muli saw that Qin Zheng seemed to be deep in thought and could not help but ask: "Do you know where there are Exotic Flame s?"    

This was the first time she had heard of Exotic Flame, but she had not received any news yet. She was completely at a loss, but looking at Qin Zheng's reaction, it was clear that he was also thinking about this matter.    

"I know some information, but I need to check it out first."    

Facing Jiu Muli alone, Qin Zheng did not care about words anymore.    

"Where is it? Is it dangerous?"    

Jiu Muli frowned slightly. Looking at Qin Zheng's appearance, he seemed to be stuck in a difficult situation, which probably wasn't a good place.    

"Sea of Nine Serenities, it is very dangerous for you, I will go with you, there is no harm in doing so, but Exotic Flame are not something that anyone can absorb, have you really decided?" Qin Zheng thought, his eyes filled with hesitation.    

Jiu Muli nodded his head resolutely, and said: "Although I am too distracted and can easily affect my cultivation, as long as I can become a alchemist, my future is not as good as begging others for help. I also have an extremely good source of wealth, so I will have to try it no matter how difficult it is."    

With so many spirit stone waiting for him to earn some, what else was there to hesitate about? Jiu Muli had already planned in his heart.    

However, Qin Zheng's performance these two days was rather strange. Ever since the Opening the Profound Vein, Jiu Muli felt that the other party had suddenly become extremely attentive to him.    

She thought about how Qin Zheng had hugged and kissed her before, and her eyes darkened. The matter of love, was not something she would easily come into contact with!    

After the two discussed for a while, they decided to head to the Sea of Nine Serenities. However, they were only saying that there were Exotic Flame s there, and whether they were real or not, they were not sure for the time being.    

However, Exotic Flame were rare to see, the moment the strong Exotic Flame appeared they were snatched away by the alchemist. It was already not bad to be able to hear a little now, it was all because the Sea of Nine Serenities was too dangerous, otherwise, it would be impossible to find them.    

After all, the alchemist was too strong. Although there were not many gifted people, but after all these years, there were still many of them.    

"Get ready, Sea of Nine Serenities is dangerous."    

After Qin Zheng finished giving out his orders, he did not give any more instructions, and left by himself.    

"Sea of Nine Serenities?"    

Jiu Muli frowned, feeling that it was a little tricky.    

The Sea of Nine Serenities was at the border of the Qin Kingdom, and as the name implied, it was a sea that was too vast, with many islands too many, it would definitely not be easy to find Exotic Flame s, furthermore, there were also many forces there, so Jiu Muli did not know the specifics.    

Although the Jiuhua Hall had a lot of books, the content that was related to cultivators was still too little.    

Her journey on the path of cultivation was too short, and she did not understand a lot of things. Compared to the disciples from the famous sects, she was still lacking in knowledge and experience.    

"I wonder how Jiu Tianxue is doing right now. Star God Pagoda, I definitely cannot miss this chance."    

It was just as Qin Zheng had said, her foundation was simply too robust. She had a faint feeling that if she wanted to break through to the Starer, the amount of spirit energy she needed would be at least ten times, or even more, than the amount she had to break through to the twelfth level of Blood Coagulation Stage at that time.    

When she had broken through to Blood Coagulation Stage, she had relied on the courage of the Seven-coloured Purgatory Python. Now, she was thinking about that kind of treasure.    

In this way, spirit stone and pill were the best methods, and there were no hidden dangers.    

After resting for the entire afternoon and giving the plant heart s to the glazed palace lamp and consoling the lotus seed between her brows, she finally left the Jiuhua Hall and headed towards the Gongquan.    

Looking for the Exotic Flame took a lot of time, she felt that it was necessary to greet the little boy from Gongquan.    

Gongquan was just like how it was in the past, a desolate feeling permeated through the tranquility, the little boy was still tirelessly cultivating in the courtyard.    

Sensing that Jiu Muli had arrived, the little boy's indifferent expression slightly relaxed, and he nodded towards Jiu Muli.    

Seeing him like that, Jiu Muli heaved a sigh of relief, she was worried that Qin Zheng's sudden intrusion the last time would cause the two of them to feel awkward, but now, it seemed like she was overthinking it.    

Jiu Muli was the first to speak, and said: "I have some matters to attend to recently, so I am going out for a while. I am temporarily unable to help you clear the blood curse, but I will definitely be back within a month's time."    

The little boy was silent for a moment. He frowned and asked, "Is it something important?"    

"Un, the Star God Pagoda is about to open. I have a spot, I want to hurry and level up." Jiu Muli nodded. She did not mention the matter of her searching for the Exotic Flame, mainly because she did not want to attract too much attention.    

It was not a good thing for her to be too weak and too dazzling. The consequences of being too weak were even more unimaginable in the world of cultivators.    

"Alright." The little boy nodded. His voice was still cold, but his words were still as precious as gold.    

"This time, I want to help you alleviate the effects of the blood curse."    

"Alright."    

As the little boy spoke, he sat down very straightforwardly.    

Since the other party had the mentality of an adult, Jiu Muli was not surprised. He immediately started the needling.    

Just like last time, she was still extremely focused. Furthermore, after the last time with the needling, not only had the blood curse in the boy's body not worsened, it had also improved.    

After spending over two hours on the needles, although Jiu Muli was still exhausted, but it was much better than last time. At least he still had some energy left in him.    

The little boy also felt that it was good, and his body expanded without any hesitation, becoming young again. He looked at Jiu Muli silently, and finally said: "Ye Kewu!"    

The voice was magnetic, and even though it was still icy cold, giving off a sense of estrangement, it had a more stable air to it than when he was a boy.    

This was the first time Jiu Muli heard the other party speak under the appearance of a young man, and he was momentarily stunned.    

"Ye Kewu, what a strange name."    

Very quickly, Jiu Muli felt that this name was too strange, not only that it wasn't Qin, it probably wasn't part of the imperial family's identity, but since that was the case, how could he monopolize the entire Gongquan?    

Jiu Muli was full of doubts, but she tactfully did not ask. She had already delayed for too long, so in order to not cause trouble for the other party, she said "take care" and left.    

When Jiu Muli returned, he did not appear, nor did he give her any face. This made her heave a sigh of relief, and when she returned to her room, she called Bai Qing over and said: "Bai Qing, I'm going out tomorrow, and I'll be back in a month. During this period of time, you try my best not to go out."    

"Ah, Miss, where are you going? Does His Royal Highness want you to go out?" Bai Qing was shocked.    

"It's fine, he's coming with me, he wants to go to Sea of Nine Serenities, I'm not back yet, just try not to go out, if there's anything you need help with, Director Chen can help out."    

Jiu Muli did not elaborate, but it was rare that Bai Qing had accompanied her for such a long time. She had enemies in the palace now, and if she was caught by the imperial concubine, she would be dead for sure. Furthermore, the closer the Star God Pagoda opened, the more talented people in the palace would return.    

"I understand." Seeing that Qin Zheng had also followed along, Bai Qing did not say much. After all, Qin Zheng's strength was comparable to the Three Great Sects' Sect Leaders, and was sufficient to ensure Jiu Muli's safety.    

After Jiu Muli finished giving orders, she gave some more instructions to the Director Chen, before finally resting in peace. Originally, she was already very tired from helping Ye Kewu suppress the blood curse, so she did not continue cultivating.    

On the road to alchemist, with her current talent, she would definitely not retreat. This was her chance to rise, and also the most important weight that surpassed everyone else.    

The Profound Opening Master was gathered together, and what awaited her was a great road that led to the heavens.    

Early in the morning on the second day, when Jiu Muli woke up, he was already waiting.
