Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 42 The Northern Wei Princess and the Thunder God Tree
Thorwood!
As the name suggests, it is a sacred tree that has been struck by lightning.

This kind of wood contains the extremely strong and yang energy of heavenly thunder, so it has a good restraining effect on all evil things. It is often used to make protective magic treasures, and is occasionally added to the refining of pills, but the amount added is extremely small.

Another possibility is that such wood, after being destroyed by lightning, may revive.

This piece of wood has come to life, hence it is called the sacred wood.

"With the Thunder God Wood, I can try to practice the Creation Pill, a Heaven-level elixir for calligraphy."

"Although the effects of the medicine are likely to be extremely strong and may damage the body and meridians."

"However, the unique Thunder God Wood contains the meaning of rebirth and will reshape the physical body and meridians, so there is no need to worry about the physical body being damaged."

Li Yueyao thought to herself and then immediately made a decision.

"I want this..."

"Please take this out, thank you!"

Before Li Yueyao could finish speaking, a soft voice rang out.

"what?!"

"Someone's trying to steal my things?"

Li Yueyao was taken aback, then frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.

There was a girl in a white dress who looked very thin and frail. Her delicate face was pale and she looked sickly.

She never expected that this girl would try to take something from her.

The girl was also taken aback, not expecting anyone else to want this too.

She subconsciously looked over, and her gaze met Li Yueyao's cold eyes.

The girl looked a little scared and suddenly shrank back.

"This……"

The girl hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I'll give this to you."

Li Yueyao frowned slightly; this was not what she had imagined.

In her previous life, she had witnessed countless fights over rare and precious treasures. Some people, unable to win, even resorted to bringing out their own sects.

Often, after the younger child is beaten, the younger child calls the older child, which is very annoying.

I originally thought I would have to compete with the other party for it and end up paying a high price to buy the Thorwood, but I didn't expect the other party to be so modest.

Since that's the case, Li Yueyao didn't stand on ceremony and directly took out spirit stones to buy the Thunder God Wood.

He then nodded to the girl and turned to leave.

"But Miss, you really need this right now."

"How about I help you get it back?"

The old woman next to the girl frowned, making a move to chase after Li Yueyao.

The young girl stretched out her fair hand, stopped the old woman, and then shook her head.

"It's true that the other party saw it first, and she was the one who spoke up first. We can't just take what belongs to someone else."

The old woman's cloudy eyes were filled with helplessness after hearing this.

"Miss, your biggest flaw is that you are too kind. You always think of others, but have you ever thought of yourself?"

"Now that you've married and moved to another country, what will you do if you're bullied in the future?"

"Grandma Silver Dragon, don't I have you?"

The girl said with a smile, but there was a hint of sadness deep in her eyes.

The silver dragon grandmother also sighed. Although he was quite strong, he was only at the seventh level of the Enlightenment Realm.

Moreover, this is the imperial mausoleum city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not the territory of their Northern Wei Dynasty, so their words carry no weight.

Besides, given my young lady's gentle nature, she'll definitely suffer a lot of grievances here.

"How hateful!"

"If it weren't for what happened back then, how could Miss's unparalleled talent have led to this?" Recalling the past, a hint of anger flashed in Granny Silver Dragon's eyes.

"Do you really need Thor's Wood?"

Just then, Li Yueyao's calm voice rang out.

Granny Silver Dragon was startled. Although she had been distracted, she was still a powerful cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm and hadn't sensed the other party nearby.

Keep in mind that the other party is only at the fourth stage of the Enlightenment Realm.

"I never expected to encounter such a monstrous young man just by casually visiting this Seven Star Tower. It seems that the Great Zhou Dynasty is truly full of hidden talents."

Granny Silver Dragon sighed inwardly.

The girl opposite was taken aback, looking at Li Yueyao who had returned, her heart filled with doubt.

After hesitating for a moment, before she could speak, Granny Silver Dragon, fearing her young mistress would refuse, hurriedly said:

"To be honest, my young lady had a slight health problem before, which damaged her vital essence."

"This Thunder God Wood contains life force, which can greatly alleviate my young lady's hidden ailment."

Li Yueyao looked at the girl and nodded.

The girl opposite me was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, the Thunder God Wood isn't of much use to me, not at all like what Grandma said..."

"That means you need it."

Li Yueyao succinctly summarized:
"Since you're so honest, it just so happens that I don't have all of it either."

"If you don't mind, come home with me. You can take the rest of my alchemy with you."

Seeing the girl's joy, a strange light flashed deep in Li Yueyao's eyes.

Was this really a case of her having a sudden outburst of kindness?
Obviously not!

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, and with such a cold personality, how could Li Yueyao possibly feel compassion for a stranger?

The reason for this was that Li Yueyao vaguely heard what the old woman said just as she was about to leave.

She was married off to a foreign country, accompanied by a powerful expert at the Enlightenment Realm.

Although the information was limited, it was enough for Li Yueyao to guess some of it.

I heard on the way here that the Northern Wei Dynasty delegation has arrived. It is very likely that the frail young girl is the Northern Wei Dynasty princess who was married off to the Great Zhou.

The young girl and the old woman followed Li Yueyao out of the Seven Star Tower.

The girl became breathless and started sweating after walking for a while.

In this world where martial arts reign supreme, even ordinary people without cultivation talent possess a powerful body.

But the girl in the white dress was so weak, she looked even worse than an ordinary person, which made him wonder if he had guessed wrong.
Although the Northern Wei Dynasty was not as powerful as the Zhou Dynasty as a whole, it was still a superpower. It is surprising that the princess of such a country was so weak.

Even if someone has terrible talent, it shouldn't be like this!

Even with the help of elixirs, he's still stronger than an ordinary person!
Li Yueyao carefully recalled her memories from her previous life, but found no trace of this girl.

That makes sense, considering there are countless geniuses in the world; it's impossible for Li Yueyao to encounter everyone.

Even if you've seen it, unless you're truly exceptionally talented, you wouldn't have a memory of it.

She shook her head; it didn't matter if she guessed wrong.

For Li Yueyao, the worst she could lose was half a piece of Thunder God Wood.

"Using Thor's Wood to refine pills?"

The old woman walking behind Li Yueyao heard this and her eyes gleamed. She couldn't help but ask:

"Young lady, if I may ask, the alchemy you mentioned earlier, you wouldn't be referring to refining a Heaven-grade Creation Pill, would you?"

“That’s right, I’m going to refine this kind of pill.”

Li Yueyao nodded.

Upon hearing this, Granny Silver Dragon was suddenly startled.
