It turns out, they were the main characters.

With the forbidden zone remaining untouched and the Liangyi Sect maintaining neutrality, the Wang family of Dongzhou is a top-tier power.

Beside Wang Meng, a woman dressed in a low-cut red dress, exuding charm and allure, toyed with a strand of her hair, her bright red lips slightly pursed, and chuckled, "Don't you all think that if the Azure Emperor could take action, would he need to secretly return to the Jade Pool Holy Land?"

Wang Ying, the apple of the Wang family's eye.

I didn't expect even the Wang family to come...?

Many cultivators' eyes flickered slightly, sensing a dangerous atmosphere.

It seems that the matter concerning the Azure Emperor has truly alarmed all the forces in the Eastern Continent...

After a brief silence, the teahouse gradually began to buzz with conversation again.

Many people present were aware that tonight's sneak attack on Yaochi by some ancient aristocratic families was probably just the beginning.

Tonight, the sacred land of Yaochi seems to have directly unleashed the Purifying Seed, suppressing three terrestrial immortals.

But what about tomorrow?

Could the Purifying Seed left behind by the Azure Emperor be used until the Heavenly Phoenix Tree bears fruit?

It's obvious that this isn't very realistic.

Neither the rogue cultivators in the teahouse nor these ancient aristocratic families would have imagined that the person who made the move tonight was not from the Jade Pool Holy Land.

Rather, it was... the Azure Emperor himself.

The Azure Emperor is indeed devoid of spiritual energy now, but...

Mu Zhi An You.

……

Yaochi Sacred Land.

The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool leaned against her throne, listening quietly to her subordinates' report on what had happened in the Heavenly Phoenix Tree region.

"Tonight, three elders from ancient families made a move, one of whom even possessed a projection of an ancestral artifact, yet they were all suppressed by Senior Azure Emperor alone?" Queen Mother of Yaochi tapped the edge of her chair with her fingertips, her eyes filled with surprise.

Although they knew the Empress's strength, they had to admit that the Empress's cauldron had not yet been formed, yet she was able to suppress three people in an instant during the fight... which was truly astonishing.

“Yes…and Mu Zhian was also present at the time,” the messenger whispered.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi, dressed in a light white dress, already possessed a silvery glow similar to that of the fairy in the green dress. She gazed at the spies and said, "The three of them have had their spiritual energy absorbed by Senior Qingdi's vines and have completely disappeared?"

Seeing the spy nod again, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had a thoughtful look in her eyes.

This is a bit strange... Logically speaking, the current Azure Emperor shouldn't have a cauldron, so how did he manage to do it?

The Queen Mother of the West also showed a thoughtful expression, but quickly came to her senses and gently raised her hand, signaling the secret agents to leave for the time being.

Then, she took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, and with a gentle lift of her hand, the jade bottle floated lightly towards the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Yao Yue, take this pill to Senior Qingdi," she said, looking at the Yaochi Saintess who had caught the jade bottle.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi opened the bottle, then looked up in surprise at the voluptuous, begonia-like beauty, and asked, "A Spirit Nourishing Pill?"

The eighth-grade pill, the Spirit Nourishing Pill, is similar in effect to the Soul Nourishing Pill. Even the Azure Emperor, who has not yet reached the cauldron stage, can obtain some spiritual energy from the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

"Wasn't this what the Queen Mother originally intended to use to break through to the Enlightenment Realm...?" Yaochi Saintess asked subconsciously.

The beautiful woman, dressed in thin clothes, gently shook her head, her smile gentle, and said, "Now that the rules of heaven and earth have changed, I have tried, but no matter what I do, it is difficult to take another step forward. The Enlightenment Realm cannot be entered by luck or effort; one must wait for the rules of heaven and earth to allow it."

"The Spirit Nourishing Pill is of no use to me for the time being."

"Besides, the most urgent matter right now is Senior Qingdi. Everything else can be postponed."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi carefully put away the Spirit Nourishing Pill, then nodded slightly and said, "I will go find Senior Qingdi now."

The Azure Emperor's physical condition is very strange. Logically speaking, she should have run out of spiritual energy, but tonight she was able to suppress three terrestrial immortals. This is very unusual.

According to the Jade Pool Saintess's speculation, it is very likely that the Azure Emperor used some secret techniques... But if this continues, it may affect the Azure Emperor's future reshaping of the furnace.

This Spirit Nourishing Pill can provide the Azure Emperor with a certain amount of spiritual energy... Although it's a bit wasteful, there's no time to worry about that right now.

Even these ancient aristocratic families can't produce more than a few rank-eight pills.

Firstly, there are very few eighth-grade alchemists. Secondly, among the medicinal materials required for eighth-grade pills, there will definitely be two or three kinds of emperor-level medicinal materials.

These imperial-grade medicinal herbs require tens of thousands of years of evolution to form even one or two plants, making them extremely rare.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi paid a heavy price for the sake of the Azure Emperor.

She could only hope that everything would go smoothly... The Holy Maiden of Yaochi carried the jade bottle and walked towards the palace where the Azure Emperor was located.

……

In the palace.

The candlelight had long since gone out, and the room, still burning with sandalwood incense, had a rather ambiguous atmosphere.

Tonight, the Azure Emperor wore a light blue jacket with a front opening. Her slender and alluring figure was hidden within the jacket, yet it could not conceal her aloof and ethereal aura. A ribbon was tied around her waist, outlining her full and firm chest and slender waist.

She wore a long, light blue skirt, her legs were long and shapely, and in the dim light, her flawless face seemed to have two faint blushes, making her a feast for the eyes.

“Tonight, the fairy suppressed three people, but probably no one will guess that it was you who did it. There will probably be more attacks tomorrow.” Mu Zhian sat on the edge of the bed, seriously discussing with the fairy in the green dress.

In reality, his gaze never left the fairy in the green dress, glancing back and forth several times from top to bottom and then from bottom to top.

As expected of a fairy, every inch of her skin was snow-white and crystal clear, without the slightest flaw. At this moment, she sat on the brocade couch with her legs slightly bent and her calves crossed, so much so that even a seasoned veteran like Mu Zhian, who had been wandering among flowers for many years, did not know where to begin.

"Let them come. This is a good opportunity to see just how many potential enemies Yaochi still has." The fairy in the green dress spoke calmly, her voice melodious. Though her tone was calm, it conveyed a sense of confidence.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "With the fairy's strength, it is not difficult to suppress foreign enemies."

After saying that, he continued, "However, there seems to be a prerequisite..."

A night breeze stirred, causing the curtains that concealed the brocade couch to flutter, vaguely revealing the flawless beauty of the fairy in the green dress.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly seemed to become more ambiguous.

The fairy in the green dress suddenly fell silent, because she noticed that Mu Zhi'an's right hand covered the back of her hand and then quietly clenched it.

She slightly raised her eyelids and saw Mu Zhian's burning gaze fixed on her.

Before the cauldron can be rebuilt, the prerequisite for suppressing the enemy is spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy we have now can only be obtained from the outside world, and only under specific conditions.

The fairy in the green dress knew what to do, and Mu Zhian naturally knew as well.

The Empress's previously composed expression suddenly seemed somewhat uneasy, so much so that after exchanging glances with Mu Zhian for less than a few seconds, she involuntarily turned her face away.

Her face seemed slightly flushed, and her translucent earlobes also appeared slightly hot.

This demeanor, in stark contrast to her previous ethereal and otherworldly appearance, also made Mu Zhian gradually unable to restrain himself.

He mustered his courage and slowly leaned forward to kiss her flawless face, then slowly moved his kiss down her neck.

Seeing that she did not stop him, Mu Zhian was finally completely relieved. He put his arm around her slender waist, pulled the blanket over, and covered up all the beautiful moments.

……

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi walked through the quiet palace, looking around.

When the Azure Emperor first arrived at the palace, he dismissed all the maids, leaving only himself and Mu Zhian there.

However, from the moment the Holy Maiden of Yaochi stepped into this palace, she sensed that something was amiss.

It was so quiet.

The silence was so profound that she even thought Mu Zhian and the Azure Emperor had already left the palace.

At this moment, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi suddenly heard a faint sound coming from behind the hall. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she walked gracefully towards the small courtyard behind the hall, her gaze quickly settling on a certain elegant room.

Just as she was about to approach the elegant room, a melodious, ethereal voice suddenly drifted from within: "What do you want?"

For some reason, the ethereal music seemed to carry a languid charm that it had never possessed before.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi hesitated slightly, but quickly composed herself and respectfully asked, "The Queen Mother ordered me to deliver the Nourishing Spirit Pill to Senior Qingdi to heal his injuries. May I enter now?"

"Please wait in the side hall. I am currently in seclusion... No, I must not be disturbed."

The fairy in the green dress gazed dreamily at the boy in her arms, her slender fingers tracing his face.

Her eyes shimmered with a hint of emotion, and she parted her lips slightly to say:

"It will be ready in a little while."

Chapter 212 A Natural Furnace, All Directions Agitated (4K)

The way and process of bestowing spiritual energy is rather tedious and uninteresting.

However, Mu Zhian is a person who can endure boredom, and he even enjoys it quite a bit.

Before you know it, an hour has passed.

Mu Zhian still appeared to be in high spirits, but he looked bored as he held the fairy in the green dress's smooth and soft body.

The fairy in the green dress, nestled in Mu Zhi'an's arms, had her cheek pressed against his chest, her eyes slightly closed, seemingly savoring the boost from the spiritual energy she had just received from the innate furnace.

Perhaps because she had been nourished by spiritual energy, her flawless face had a healthy rosy glow. A few strands of messy hair fell over her delicate face. Compared to her usual aloofness, the fairy in the green dress seemed to have become more charming.

She opened her eyes silently and gazed quietly at the boy before her.

Even someone like the fairy in the green dress was somewhat surprised at this moment.

Although she already knew that Mu Zhian's innate furnace contained many good things... she was still somewhat surprised to feel it so clearly.

A natural-born furnace for alchemy; even in the entire world of Xianxia (fantasy martial arts), such a physique is extremely rare.

Of course, scarcity does not mean non-existence.

The vastness of the Nine Provinces far exceeds the imagination of many cultivators. There are still many physiques in this world that have not been recorded in ancient books.

However, most people may never be able to leave Dongzhou in their entire lives, so naturally they cannot fully understand it.

However, even if someone with the same physique as Mu Zhian exists, it is impossible for them to possess such an exaggerated innate furnace as he does.

As the most direct experiencer, the fairy in the green dress could clearly feel the enhancement of Mu Zhi'an's spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy she received from Mu Zhian also contained a trace of the luck bestowed upon her by the Heavenly Dao... In addition, there was a portion of the spiritual energy from one of the reincarnated empresses' previous lives, as well as spiritual energy that strengthened her own physique.

Moreover, the spiritual energy that Mu Zhian's cauldron can bestow upon others is equally astonishing.

The opportunities he received actually all strengthened his innate furnace... The fairy in the green dress felt the spiritual energy within her body and looked at Mu Zhi'an with a mixture of pity and something else.
