Chapter 71
Zhao Shirou appeared to be in her thirties.
Her exquisite, breathtakingly beautiful face emanated a hint of charm and the aura of a gorgeous mature woman.
Draped in a pale-yellow phoenix robe, she also looked extremely noble, involuntarily causing one to have a tinge of desire to conquer her.
No wonder Li Hao had such a strong protective urge towards his royal mother.
Tsk tsk.
I too really want to protect her! Moreover, the Liyang King must know Zhao Shirou’s true identity and strength. Otherwise, would he be blind to not favor such a beauty?
“Your Highness the Holy Son, I only came to sneak a look out of admiration for your renowned prestige, with no other intentions! Why don’t you have your subordinate step aside and let me leave?”
Zhao Shirou’s voice carried a hint of melting sweetness and pitiful delicateness.
Yan Jiu, knowing his master’s preferences, hastily said: “Master, we can’t easily let her go! This woman’s intentions are not benign!”
Yang Chen waved his hand, signaling him not to speak further.
“Consort Rou, I will naturally let you leave! However, there are some things I wish to remind you of!”
“Your Highness the Holy Son, please go on!”
“Consort Rou should possess the Profound Yin Physique, right?” Yang Chen appraised her shapely, graceful figure as he slowly said.
Zhao Shirou was taken aback upon hearing this.
She was extremely shocked in her heart.
Was Xuantian Sect so formidable?
They even knew she had the Profound Yin Physique!
Could it be that they had known about their every move all along?
If so, then her master’s plans were in danger!
Zhao Shirou did not deny it and nodded slightly: “Correct!”
“The Profound Yin Physique may have a fast cultivation speed, but it is also the ideal body constitution for a furnace! Consort Rou should be aware of this!”
“Ideal body constitution for a furnace?”
Zhao Shirou was taken aback by this.
It was clear she did not know about this.
After all, the Pleasure Harmony Sect was far away in the Central Continent.
“What do you mean?” Zhao Shirou’s voice gradually turned cold.
“In the Central Continent, there is a sect called the Pleasure Harmony Sect! They specialize in cultivating the deviant arts of supplementing yin with yang, or supplementing yang with yin! And if I’m not mistaken, you must have cultivated a technique called the Triple Yin Convergence Technique!”
“What!?” This time, Zhao Shirou was completely stunned. Because the other party knew far too much. Apart from her and her master, no one else should know this information. But this Xuantian Holy Son was able to recount it all.
“Is your Xuantian Sect specialized in intelligence gathering? How did you obtain all this information?” Zhao Shirou said coldly.
Yang Chen immediately smiled: “It seems I guessed correctly! Consort Rou, I must say, you are quite fortunate to have encountered me! Do you know? The Triple Yin Convergence Technique you cultivate is the technique used by the Pleasure Harmony Sect to cultivate furnaces! The Profound Yin Physique is born with Profound Yin qi. Cultivating the Triple Yin Convergence Technique allows you to store this Profound Yin qi! When the cultivator nurturing you encounters a blockade in their cultivation, that will be the time to supplement from you! The cultivator about to break through to the Soul Transformation realm must be waiting for you now!”
“What!? Impossible!” Zhao Shirou shook her head repeatedly.
Her chest heaved with turbulence.
Yang Chen’s words clearly had a huge impact on her.
Because that set of Triple Yin Convergence Techniques was passed down to her by her master. If it was as Yang Chen said, then her master had been nurturing her as a furnace all along?
“You’re talking nonsense! Trying to sow discord between me and my master! Despicable!”
Zhao Shirou’s voice was instantly filled with killing intent.
Her master had imparted the technique to her and guided her cultivation.
He was her respected elder.
She would not allow Yang Chen to insult him like this.
Zhao Shirou directly attacked Yang Chen.
Striking out with her palm.
“Audacious!” Yan Jiu blocked in front of Yang Chen, deflecting her strike.
The two swiftly engaged in combat.
Although Zhao Shirou was in the late Nascent Soul realm, Yan Jiu had reached the Peak Nascent Soul realm.
The gap was considerable.
Moreover, Yan Jiu was a soul cultivator with many vicious techniques.
Zhao Shirou quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
There was even a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen asked the system: “System, is there a poison that can temporarily force a semi-Soul Transformation cultivator to fall from their realm?”
[Ding! To temporarily force a semi-Soul Transformation cultivator to fall to the Golden Core realm, host is recommended the Realm Descending Powder. It lasts up to ten hours. Redeeming requires 500 VPs. Do you wish to redeem?]
“Redeem!”
[Redeemed successfully, 500 VPs deducted, one bottle of Realm Descending Powder obtained!]
At this moment, Zhao Shirou was coughing up blood from Yan Jiu’s attacks, clearly outmatched.
Yang Chen hastily said: “Yan Jiu, stop! You must not harm Consort Rou!”
Yan Jiu reluctantly retreated.
“My master has reached the semi-Soul Transformation realm. If my master senses I’m in danger, master will definitely come to my rescue! If your Xuantian Sect does not have a Soul Transformation cultivator to face my master, it’s best you let me leave. Otherwise!” Zhao Shirou said coldly.
Yang Chen stepped forward, his face showing a warm smile: “Rest assured Consort Rou, we will not make things difficult for you! It’s just that, seeing Consort Rou’s otherworldly poise and beauty, as an utmost beauty, I can’t help but feel regretful if it’s truly as I said! So, please accept this bottle of Bewildering Infant Powder!
“It was refined by a grand pill master of my Xuantian Sect. It can confound Nascent Soul cultivators, causing them to temporarily lose their senses. Even semi-Soul Transformations would be muddled for a moment! At that time, Consort Rou can take the opportunity to escape! Once that happens, Consort Rou can come to the State Preceptor’s Mansion and seek refuge from my Xuantian Sect!”
As Yang Chen spoke, he tossed over a white jade bottle.
Zhao Shirou did not refuse. Although she felt her master would definitely not harm her, this bastard had accurately pinpointed her secrets one by one.
The Profound Yin Physique.
The Triple Yin Convergence Technique.
Her master had even strictly instructed her never to be emotionally involved with men.
All this caused a slight waver in her heart.
So she accepted the jade bottle from Yang Chen.
Although she didn’t know what schemes this bastard had, it was still better to have an extra precaution.
“Farewell!” Zhao Shirou gave a cold snort and flew off immediately.
“Master, you’re just letting her go?”
Yan Jiu was very puzzled by this.
Silently calling his master a lecher.
He had no interest in beauties, only in the Nascent Soul souls of cultivators.
Yang Chen ignored him, gazing at Zhao Shirou’s departing figure, a playful smile gradually curving his lips.
As long as Zhao Shirou accepted the Realm Descending Powder, his plan had already succeeded halfway.
“Yan Jiu, you said earlier that the semi-Soul Transformation cultivator failed to condense their Soul Transformation, are you certain?”
Yan Jiu hurriedly replied: “Master, your subordinate is absolutely certain! I sensed that Soul Transformation fluctuation very clearly!”
