Chapter 34 The Seductive Vixen
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Chengfeng slowly woke up, completely unharmed, and immediately got up.

I found myself in an unfamiliar environment, and the room was simple.

The fox lay beside him. After he woke up, it just glanced at him lazily and then closed its eyes again.

"Nephew, you're awake."

Nangong Renshe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Chengfeng was unharmed.

"Uncle, where is this?"

Liu Chengfeng felt something was off about this place; it had a sinister atmosphere.

"The Imperial Capital, the Demon Slayer Division."

"Emperor Qiuchi has ordered that you be detained here."

Nangong Renshe told Liu Chengfeng about the situation.

After the destruction of the Rising Witch Clan, the Emperor of Qiuchi Kingdom ordered Liu Chengfeng to be imprisoned in the Demon Slayer Bureau.

There are three reasons: damaging the Grandmaster's Mansion's property, colluding with the demonic path, and being a spy for the alien beasts.

"You will be convicted only after a joint trial by the three judicial authorities."

Nangong Renshe told Liu Chengfeng that Qiuchi Kingdom had only detained him here and had not yet convicted him or sentenced him.

"Can you still play like this?"

Liu Chengfeng did not expect Qiuchi Kingdom's intervention.

"Don't worry too much. With some smooth communication between higher and lower levels, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Nangong Renshe was busy comforting Liu Chengfeng and reassuring him; he also brought many gifts with him.

"This was seized from the Ascended Wizard's household."

Nangong Renshe pushed everything in front of Liu Chengfeng.

There are cultivation techniques and secret manuals, weapons and treasures, and blood-nourishing pills.

The destruction of the Shangwu family was all thanks to Liu Chengfeng, and Nangong Renshe brought all the good things they had captured to Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng looked at it carefully and finally chose some mountain pills and blood medicine, giving the rest to Nangong Renshe.

"Uncle, these belong to the sect."

The Shangsheng Wu family wasn't particularly wealthy either, about the same as the Qiyun Sect.

Even the second-refined blood medicine and the second-refined mountain pills only amount to five or six portions.

"Take the secret manual, and choose a few weapons and treasures."

Nangong Ren saw that Liu Chengfeng had only taken a portion of the mountain pills and blood medicine, so he felt it was inappropriate to accept them. He believed that all of these things should belong to Liu Chengfeng.

"I'll ask my uncle for it when I need it."

Liu Chengfeng did not accept the other gifts, as they were of little use to him.

"This fox has been staying by your side ever since you fell into a coma."

Nangong Renshe glanced curiously at the lying fox and told Liu Chengfeng.

"I saved its life, it should be grateful."

Liu Chengfeng smiled as well. The fox opened its eyes, glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and disagreed.

Liu Chengfeng reached out to touch its head, but it shook its head in disgust.

Liu Chengfeng and Nangong Renshe were both amused, and the fox ignored them even more.

"Don't worry, once this matter is smoothed over, the Demon Slayer Division will release you soon."

Nangong Renshe was relieved that Liu Chengfeng was alright. He planned to use his connections to get Liu Chengfeng released.

As Nangong Renshe was leaving, a middle-aged man walked in through the door.

The middle-aged man was dressed in thin clothes, with a gaunt face and a cold expression. He exuded a chilling aura that made people afraid to approach him.

"This is the head of the Demon Slayer Division, Iron Hand Demon Slayer."

Nangong Renshe introduced the middle-aged man to Liu Chengfeng.

The Demon Slayer Division and the Grandmaster's Mansion are both major departments under the jurisdiction of Qiuchi Kingdom.

The Grandmaster's Mansion is responsible for contacting, managing, and communicating with sects and cultivators within the Qiuchi Kingdom.

Demon Slayers are responsible for hunting down and judging cultivators or sects who commit evil deeds or break the law within the territory of Qiuchi Kingdom.

Han Qi, the Iron-Handed Demon Slayer, is known as the fourth strongest expert in Qiuchi Kingdom and is a fourth-stage Great Perfection cultivator.

Han Qi's expression was indifferent, the same to everyone. He nodded to Liu Chengfeng as a greeting.

"Brother Han, I'm entrusting my son to you. Please take good care of him."

Nangong Renshe had a friendship with Han Qi, and he entrusted him with this task repeatedly before leaving.

"Stay in the Demon Slayer Division and don't go out."

Han Qi left after saying only one sentence.

Liu Chengfeng was detained in the Demon Slayer Division, but he was not imprisoned or shackled. He was placed in the courtyard of the Demon Slayer Division.

Liu Chengfeng was the only person in the entire compound. Although the compound was simple, it was already a very high level of treatment in the capital of Qiuchi Kingdom, where land was extremely valuable. He didn't look like a prisoner at all.

In the Demon Slayer Division, you are free in every way except for the inability to leave.

After Han Qi left, Liu Chengfeng sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing, circulate his inner energy, absorb spiritual energy, strengthen his blood and qi, and forge his physical body.

While he was unconscious, Nangong Renshe had already given him the blood-nourishing pill.

At this moment, an internal examination revealed that his blood and qi were still somewhat deficient and that he had hidden injuries. He quickly took a second-refined blood medicine to replenish his blood and a second-refined mountain pill to treat his hidden ailments.

Blood medicine and mountain pills are essential elixirs for cultivators, and there is a saying that they are refined in three stages: first, second, third, etc.

The Blood-Refining Medicine is made from century-old medicinal herbs to strengthen blood and qi.

The second-stage blood-refining medicine fills the sea of ​​blood, made from millennia-old medicinal herbs.

……

Yi Lian Shan Wan is a medicine for treating wounds, made from century-old medicinal herbs.

The Second Refined Mountain Pill treats hidden ailments and is made from thousand-year-old medicinal herbs.

……

After consuming the Blood Qi and Mountain Pills, circulating his inner energy, and regulating his spiritual energy, Liu Chengfeng's Blood Qi became stronger, and his hidden ailment disappeared.

It took Liu Chengfeng several days to recover his breathing.

The only thing that Liu Chengfeng regretted was that the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree escaped while he was unconscious.

After regulating his breathing and balancing his body, Liu Chengfeng manipulated the celestial bodies, sensing and listening to everything happening in the capital.

The capital of Qiuchi Kingdom is the largest city in the entire kingdom, covering a vast area, prosperous and bustling, with a large population.

When Liu Chengfeng used his celestial perception, the first thing he sensed was the underground spiritual vein dojo.

The entire spiritual vein dojo is enormous, more than ten times larger than the spiritual vein dojo of the Su family in Tiger Hill.

If the spiritual vein of the Su family in Tiger Hill is like a stream, then the spiritual vein dojo in the capital of Autumn Pond Kingdom is like a river.

The spiritual energy accumulated in a Taoist temple is like a lake.

"Is this the power of God?"

Upon sensing the spiritual vein dojo, Liu Chengfeng was astonished.

Deep within the spiritual vein dojo of the capital of Qiuchi Kingdom, there exists a boundless pressure, like a god.

What's most surprising is that the spiritual vein dojo in the capital actually has two spiritual pools, one with the power of earth fire and the other with the power of water.

"A spiritual vein dojo imbued with the power of nature, with two spiritual pools within one dojo, where water and fire are incompatible yet can coexist in one dojo."

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but marvel at the profound foundation of Qiuchi Kingdom, which was indeed incomparable to Qiyun Sect and Shangsheng Wu Family.

The spiritual pool, as vast as a lake, was brimming with spiritual energy; Liu Chengfeng longed to take a deep breath of it.

Liu Chengfeng restrained himself; if he really took a deep breath, the emperor and Grand Marshal of Qiuchi Kingdom might immediately come to kill him.

"Something's wrong."

Liu Chengfeng sensed the spiritual vein and discovered a portion of the spiritual energy containing the power of water, which was also poisonous. This poison was deeply hidden; it would be impossible to detect without the help of a celestial body.

"How could spiritual energy be toxic? That doesn't make sense."

Those who cultivate the divine treasures absorb the natural power within the spiritual veins, making it their own, such as the power of earth fire, lightning, water, and so on.

There is no poisonous spiritual energy. However, a small portion of the aquatic energy emanating from the spiritual veins of the capital city is highly toxic.

Liu Chengfeng found it strange; there must be something wrong here.

Liu Chengfeng, out of curiosity, turned the celestial mound around, listened to the heavens and earth, and called upon all things.

"It would be nice to be able to go out for a walk."

When does the sun rise?

Liu Chengfeng ignored the everyday sounds of birds, beasts, old trees, and rivers, but two sounds were so unique that they caught his attention.

Where should we go for a walk?

Liu Chengfeng used his celestial proximity perception to open his celestial eye and observe.

The first voice was startled and immediately shrank back, like a easily frightened little girl.

After looking for a long time with his Sky Eye, Liu Chengfeng finally saw that the voice saying he wanted to go for a walk came from an ancient tree.

The ancient tree has intertwined branches that resemble a nest, and its entire body is black with scorch marks from lightning.

"who are you?"

After a while, the ancient tree cautiously asked a question.

This ancient tree speaks like a timid girl, but its age is probably tens of thousands of years or even longer.

“This young upstart appeared out of nowhere and can understand what we are saying.”

Another voice broke in, and this voice was clearly domineering.

"You can communicate, right?"

This was the first time Liu Chengfeng had encountered such a situation, so he quickly used his Sky Eye to observe it carefully.

The second one to speak was a stone lion, weathered and worn from years of wind and sun, but still imposing in stature.

"Fuss."

Stone lions are not only domineering, but also arrogant.

"We were established by the God of Fire."

The ancient tree was timid and shy. It was rare for it to encounter someone who could communicate with them, so it mustered up its courage and told Liu Chengfeng.

"Is the Fire God General the founder of the Autumn Pond Kingdom?"

"Pshaw, how could he be a divine general?"

The stone lion, whose identity is unknown, spoke with an arrogant tone.

"The founder of Qiuchi Kingdom was one of the attendants of the Fire God General."

The ancient tree was relatively easy to communicate with and was willing to tell Liu Chengfeng the news.

"Did the God of Fire place you here to guard the Autumn Pool Kingdom?"

"I'm not--"

The stone lion seemed a little annoyed and gave a sullen reply.

“I am the one who connects heavenly thunder and earthly fire; the God of Fire planted me here.”

"I have the finest specimens on my nest."

"It's just a top-quality scroll."

The stone lion looked somewhat disdainful.

"The sage scroll of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury is of the highest quality."

The ancient tree timidly uttered a sound, and the stone lion fell silent.

"The Supreme Scroll of Sagehood from the Blood Sea Divine Treasury—"

Liu Chengfeng was shocked when he heard the news.

Both mental cultivation methods and techniques are divided into human scrolls, virtuous scrolls, and divine scrolls.

The Blood Sea Divine Treasury's cultivation method, according to legend, was the first divine scroll and the first innate sage scroll, making it the most top-tier cultivation method in the Qingmeng Realm.

He has innate talent; if he obtains the highest quality of the Sage Scroll, wouldn't he be able to fuse it into an innate Sage Scroll, making it the rarest and most powerful cultivation method in the Qingmeng Realm?
"You can try."

The ancient tree was very friendly to Liu Chengfeng, not only telling him that it had a secret manual of inner cultivation techniques, but also encouraging him to come and retrieve it.

"Tch, he's not royalty or a descendant of nobility, how could he possibly marry? He can't even get into the ancestral hall."

The stone lion's words silenced the ancient tree, which, like a little girl, secretly shrank back.

"What did you mean when you said the sun rises?"

Doesn't the sun rise every day?

"Why should I tell you?"

The stone lion is arrogant.

"Bring him a pot of Golden Wind and Jade Dew wine."

"Do not care."

The stone lion said this, but it had already smacked its lips.

"Golden Wind and Jade Dew Wine".

Liu Chengfeng remembered this name.

The stone lion ignored Liu Chengfeng, and the ancient tree remained silent.

Liu Chengfeng continued to explore the capital, hoping to make any further discoveries.

"Oh, the little guy is practicing very hard."

Ye Huijian appeared, interrupting Liu Chengfeng's exploration.

"I'm not small at all—"

Liu Chengfeng stared at her with a wolfish gaze.

"Is that all the lust you have?"

Ye Huijian crossed his arms.

"You want to try it?"

A man can't tolerate such provocation? Liu Chengfeng's eyes hardened, and he was about to do something bad.

Ye Huijian looked at him with a half-smile.

"A great man does not hold a grudge against a petty person."

Liu Chengfeng didn't dare to do anything to this cheap aunt, because if he angered her, she could take his head off in an instant.

Ye Huijian sat down next to Liu Chengfeng.

The fox was terrified when it saw Ye Huijian and tried to escape, but was suddenly grabbed and pulled up.

Why are you scaring it?

Seeing the fox trembling, Liu Chengfeng was puzzled.

"Where did you get this little sly fox?"

"Found it in Mount Meng."

Liu Chengfeng did not hide anything from Ye Huijian.

"Wow, to find such a flamboyant fox in the middle of nowhere."

Ye Huijian held the fox, looking it over with a half-smile.

The fox was terrified when Ye Huijian picked it up.
