Chapter 12: A Princess from a Distant Kingdom Seeks Medicine
f forced to merge together, not only will it fail to multiply its power, but it may also backfire and lead to spiritual disaster.This is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person.Even if one were...Fire State, one of the 3,000 Dao States in the Immortal Realm of the Wilderness Heaven.
Its area range is far less than that of the Imperial State where Lord Jun resides, even only one percent of the Imperial State.
But even if it's only one percent of Huangzhou, Huozhou is still a vast Daozhou.
On the Huo State, there were no numerous and towering factions.
The ruler of the entire Fire State is the ancient country of Suzaku.
The ancient nation of Suzaku, though not as powerful as the ancient clans, possesses a profound legacy and formidable reputation.
Besides Zhuque Ancient Country, there are also Qinglong Ancient Country, Baihu Ancient Country, and Xuanwu Ancient Country.
The Four Ancient Kingdoms, also known as the Four Symbols Kingdoms.
At this moment, in the golden and resplendent main hall of the Zhuque Ancient Country's Imperial Palace.
A middle-aged man in a crimson and gold phoenix robe lay on the bed, his brow darkened and his whole body weak, as if seriously ill, his life flickering like a dying ember.
He is the lord of the ancient country of Zhuque.
At the bedside, stood a beautiful woman.
She was wearing a red feathered garment, her figure graceful and alluring, with long legs and skin as white as snow.
Her red hair flowed like flames.
A pair of beautiful eyes shimmered with a captivating ruby red. Her nose was high and elegant, her lips were bright red, and her teeth were pearly white.
Especially between her brows was a dot of vermilion, paired with her entire jade face, she appeared even more enchanting and alluring than peaches and plums. Her beauty was captivatingly charming.
This woman is the princess of the ancient kingdom of Zhuque, Bai Yu'er.
"Father, Yu'er will definitely find the elixir to save you." Bai Yu'er bit her lip and said.
"Yu'er, I trouble you. The elixir of immortality cannot be forced..." The Zhuque Country Sovereign shook his head slightly, his voice weak to the extreme, with a hint of despair.
The elixir of immortality, what a rare thing it is.
Even those supreme lineages and immortal powers wouldn't have much in stock.
It's even less likely they would so kindly hand over the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom.
Although the ancient Zhuque nation boasts a profound heritage and possesses numerous top-grade sacred herbs, it lacks even a single immortal herb.
After all, if you look at the outside world, even a single immortal medicine would cause a bloody storm as everyone fights for it. There wouldn't be time to even consider selling it to someone else.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. With my abilities, I am sure to obtain the elixir of immortality!" Bayu'er said with resolute eyes, transforming grief into strength.
Who is she
The princess of the ancient Zhuque nation, with the Zhuque divine fire in her brow, possessed extraordinary talent.
Not to mention her appearance, which in the Xianyu of the wasteland would be considered quite good.
Many young prodigies from various factions are fans of Yu'er.
Therefore, she developed a somewhat haughty and aloof personality.
She believes she has the ability to save her father and the entire Zhuque ancient country.
Those young prodigies of those powers are all trash, when you need them, they can't even produce a panacea.
"And my fiancé, Xiao Chen, the eldest prince of the Azure Dragon ancient country, can't even procure a single elixir of immortality."
Bai Yu'er walked out of the palace, her beautiful face sullen.
Several years after her father emperor's misfortune, the Zhuque Ancient Country's national power declined rapidly.
Then, the ancient nation of Azure Dragon came to propose a marriage alliance.
At that time, the Qinglong Ancient Country promised to give the Zhuque Ancient Country a herb of immortality.
Bai Yu'er and the Qinglong Ancient Country's eldest prince, Xiao Chen, knew each other since childhood. Although they had always kept their distance, they could be considered childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was not bad.
After much deliberation, Bai Yu'er agreed.
After so long, the engagement had been set for quite some time, but the elixir of immortality remained elusive.
But now the ancient kingdom of Zhuque is weak and has no ability to ask for tribute from the ancient kingdom of Qinglong.
Therefore, only Bai Yuer could seek the elixir of immortality herself.
"What should I do, Father can't fall…" Bai Yu'er's heart couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Oh, right, how could I almost forget, my best friend Jun Linglong" Bai Yu'er suddenly remembered.
She once met Jun Linglong in a secret realm, and they got along quite well.
Though we didn't keep in touch after that, with Jun Linglong's personality, she surely wouldn't just ignore it.
Furthermore, your family undoubtedly possesses the elixir of immortality.
Thinking about this, Bai Yu'er's breathing quickened. She hurriedly took out a jade slip and sent a message.
On the other side, in the side hall of Jun's Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Linglong also received the news.
"The Lord of Zhuque Country is seriously ill and needs an elixir to save him" Jun Linglong frowned slightly upon hearing the news.
To be honest, if it weren't for Bai Yu'er's message, she would have almost forgotten about this "best friend".
Although Bai Yu'er is the princess of an ancient country, she enjoys a high status.
But Jun Linglong was even more the pride of heaven among the ancient aristocratic families.
Though she is now Jun Xiaoyao's maidservant, outside the palace walls, she remains a noble lady of the Jun family who is still sought after by many.
"He started with an elixir, and his appetite is quite large. But at least we've met before." Jun Linglong frowned slightly.
But the problem is, she doesn't have a magic potion.
At this moment, a divine soul transmission fell into Jun Linglong's mind.
"Linglong, make some tea."
Jūn Línglóng hastily got up. This was Jūn Xiāoyao calling her to make tea.
In a pool of steaming, ethereal mist, Jun Xiaoyao stood shirtless, his upper body sculpted like jade illuminated by an ethereal glow.
Eight-year-old Jun Xiaoyao has grown tall.
On one side, Jun Linglong entered and handed a cup of enlightenment tea to Jun Xiaoyao.
Watching Jun Xiaoyao gradually grow up, becoming more and more handsome and refined, Jun Linglong had a feeling that she was raising a young boy.
"What's wrong Is something the matter" Jun Xiaoyao took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"No." Jun Linglong's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Come on, you can't hide it from me," Jun Xiaoyao said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Jun Linglong bit her lip slightly, and finally told the story about Bai Yuer.
"So that's it, an elixir of immortality Well, I don't need one." Jun Xiaoyao shrugged.
When he was at the ancient stele of Mount Tai, he obtained three immortal herbs. Later, his 18th ancestor gave him another five immortal herbs, one after another.
Jun Xiaoyao has only refined three over the years, and there are still five left.
"Since she's your best friend, giving her one wouldn't hurt either. Tell her to come over." Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand and said.
"Was that all" Jun Linglong was taken aback.
In the world of the rich, she certainly doesn't understand!
However, Jun Linglong still nodded slightly and replied to Bai Yu'er.
Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled into a faint smile.
He certainly wasn't trying to be a pushover; he had his own ideas and plans.
Let those who are pillars of righteousness take the lead, let them guide us down the right path.
A persona like the Virgin Mary wouldn't be a good fit for him.
Then there's the matter of a plant that can grant immortality. Though Jun Xiaoyao doesn't place much value on it, he wouldn't be so magnanimous as to casually give it away.
"The sequences within the Jun family are not only supported by various lineages, but also by vassal Daoist sects."
"Even a figure like that one, with his sword at his back, had backing from vassal forces like the Ancient Sword Sect."
This kind of vassalage is not subservience to the royal family, but subservience to an individual.
Although the ancient kingdom of Zhuque has seen a decline in its power in recent years, it is still larger than a horse. It could be incorporated into our sphere of influence, and perhaps we could even bring the other three ancient kingdoms under our control as vassal states.
Jun Xiaoyao was calculating in his mind.
After all, he is the zeroth sequence. Without a vassal force behind him, it would be rather embarrassing.
A deck of cards should have all its suits and ranks.
As for Bai Yu'er, wanting to obtain an elixir of immortality for nothing That's impossible.
Jun Xiaoyao is not doing charity. He won't do anything that is not beneficial to himself.
And when she received Bai Yu'er’s reply, Jun Linglong was also extremely surprised.
This feeling is like a drought-stricken land finally meeting the sweet rain.
Only what Jun Linglong had conveyed lingered in Bai Yu'er’s mind, causing her to fall into deep thought.
Because the immortality elixir is not for Jun Linglong herself.
"A prodigy from the Jun family promised me an elixir of immortality. Could it be that he has taken a liking to me"
Bai Yu'er couldn't help but think.
She was still quite confident in her looks, being the first beauty of the ancient Zhuque country.
In the entire Xianyu region, it is quite famous.
In her mind, the person who would give her a magical immortality must be lusting after her body.
"Indeed, even the proud sons of the Jun family are not immune to this." Bai Yuer felt a strange sense of disappointment in her heart.
The young masters of the noble families, it seems, are not as extraordinary as imagined.
"However, first we should get the elixir of immortality to save Father."
Bai Yu'er shook her head and set off for Huangzhou.s also extending her slender hand to shake.Xia Guihua's jade hands were soft and boneless, with long fingers that felt cool to the touch."As expected of someone who excels at painting with a brush."Ju...
