Copy it for me, damn it!
Cang Mingxiao's memories slowly flowed back several decades.
His two older brothers were a hundred years older than him.
They had already upgraded their Bloodline to the Demon General Level.
Although the Demon Race does not have the concept of primogeniture, the one born first will definitely have an advantage when deciding on the successor within the Merfolk Race.
The Merfolk Race determine their successors based on their current cultivation level.
The deadline for deciding the successor was set decades ago. If Cang Mingxiao had not yet advanced to the Demon General, he would have essentially lost his chance at the throne.
At the crucial moment, Cang Mingxiao risked his life to enter Heavenly Star City and found True Man He.
With the help of the Third-tier Spirit Pill provided by True Man He, he was promoted to Demon General ahead of schedule.
Although Heavenly Star City does not explicitly prohibit Demon Race from entering, just like Human Race Cultivator entering Demon Star City and Sea Star City, it still requires immense courage for Demon Race and Sea Tribe to enter.
It's possible that some Cultivator with a deep hatred for the Demon Race might simply kill him.
Now that Heavenly Star City has risen again, the Demon Race is internally divided and it is impossible for them to restart a war with Heavenly Star City for the sake of a single Demon Race's life.
That time, Cang Mingxiao bold enough, and True Man He was also broad-minded enough.
Successfully promoted Cang Mingxiao to the rank of Demon General.
Thus, he was eligible to be listed Throne Candidate along with his two older brothers.
After listening to Cang Mingxiao's account, Cang Mingyue smiled wistfully, "So, True Man He has indeed been of great help to you. Then, shouldn't you find three spirit medicine for the Alchemist?"
Cang Mingxiao shook his head slightly, his gaze thoughtful.
It seems that he has now become the representative of the Merfolk Race in the important Stronghold of Sea Star City, and has a better chance of succeeding to the throne than his two good-for-nothing brothers.
However, the Priest's dislike for him was an objective fact, though hidden from view.
Searching for these three spirit medicine, especially the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit, a sixth-tier spiritual item, would cause too much of a stir. The Priest might take advantage of this opportunity to make a move against them.
However, Cang Mingxiao knew that the Human Race had great potential and that Human Race Alchemist were extremely useful. In order to make plans after he ascended the throne, he did not want to leave a stain on the Human Race.
Su Bai didn't have to wait long.
It took about two hours.
The Merfolk guards then came to inform Su Bai and his companion that there was a result regarding the Third Prince.
"His Highness has also prepared a banquet for you two. Please follow me!"
banquet?
Su Bai was a little confused, but he still led Lan Yan and followed.
Before long, the two followed the Merfolk guards into a banquet hall.
The Merfolk Third Prince, Cang Mingxiao, was sitting at the head of the table with a female Merfolk, waiting for Su Bai and his companion, showing them great respect.
Seeing this scene, Su Bai had some guesses in his mind, and pulled Lan Yan to bow and greet the person in front of him.
"Don't be shy, come and sit down. This is Lu Jiu and Lan Yan, you must both Alchemist, right?"
"Oh, by the way, this lady next to me is my wife."
Su Bai cupped his hands and addressed her as Imperial Consort, thinking to himself that the Imperial Consort Concubine was quite beautiful, conforming to Human Race aesthetic standards.
He then said, "We, the two brothers, are our Master's Disciple, and naturally we are also Alchemist."
"Very good, very good, True Man He has a worthy successor."
"To be favored by True Man He, your Alchemy Talent must be exceptional. You two will surely become the next Alchemy Grandmaster. We should get to know each other better." Cang Mingxiao changed his previous attitude and became extremely friendly.
He clapped his hands, and immediately Human Race maids began bringing out various kinds of seafood Spirit Food and Delicacies to the table.
All of these are foods that suit Human Race tastes and come from the Deep Sea, which are rarely seen by ordinary Human Race Cultivator.
The Demon Race race has a long Lifespan, and the Merfolk Race are among the best. Demon General Level him has Lifespan comparable to that of Human Race Nascent Soul.
In some ways, he and Su Bai are actually from the same age group.
Ten maids carefully carried a wine jug shaped like a conch shell as they approached.
"True Man He was kind to me back then, and I've long wanted to have a drink with him, but unfortunately, I haven't had the chance all these years."
"Since you two are here today, consider it as your Master's place to have a good drink with me!"
Cang Mingxiao picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for himself and Su Bai.
Su Bai asked, "Isn't the Imperial Consort going to drink?"
Cang Mingyue, standing to one side, covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm not good at this."
The mountain-sized Cang Mingxiao picked up his wine glass and easily downed it in one gulp. "I'll drink first!"
"Let's make this clear first! I won't use Demon Power, and you shouldn't use Spiritual Power either. You'll sober up naturally with just your physical bodies!"
I had previously inquired in Sea Star City and learned that the Merfolk Race were skilled drinkers; seeing them today, I can confirm they were indeed extraordinary.
Su Bai looked at the large wine glass in front of him, about the size of a washbasin, and swallowed hard.
"Lu Jiu, do you really want to drink?" Lan Yan secretly transmitted her voice.
Su Bai replied, "If Golden Core Stage Cultivator were to drink with you, would you drink?"
Su Bai picked up the basin and gulped down the unknown Spirit Wine.
The next moment, Spiritual Qi burst forth from his stomach, and the effects of the alcohol reached his mind.
Such rich Spiritual Power, such potent alcohol!
Su Bai's face flushed red instantly!
Lan Yan, following suit, downed the wine in one gulp. His physical body was even weaker than Su Bai's; after one bowl, he was completely out of it. Several maids pulled him aside and began to stretch his body and dance an unknown dance.
"Oh? Alchemist Lu Jiu has quite the capacity for alcohol!" Cang Mingxiao was slightly impressed when he saw that Su Bai hadn't blacked out and could still maintain his posture while sitting upright.
This Spirit Wine is a treasured Aged Cellar of the Merfolk Race. Not only is it beneficial for cultivation, but its potency is such that few Foundation Establishment Realm Human Race Cultivator have ever been able to withstand even a single cup.
Su Bai suppressed his drunkenness, his thoughts slowly making their way in the right direction, thinking that he shouldn't worry about whether he had actually collected spirit medicine.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, this was an excellent opportunity to touch Cang Mingxiao's body and Copy the Ancient Demon Race Bloodline within him.
However, for safety's sake, we need to disguise ourselves first.
Su Bai spoke with righteous indignation, "Your Highness Third Prince, did something go wrong while collecting spirit medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Mingxiao also stopped smiling, "I feel very guilty. Of the three spirit medicine, I have already found two Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine."
"But as for the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit, I've asked all the Sea Tribe I'm on friendly terms with in the city, and I really haven't found it."
Cang Mingxiao waved his hand, and two Jade Box landed in front of Su Bai.
"These are the two portions of Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine that True Man He needed. You may take them now, little Alchemist."
Su Bai opened the Jade Box and examined it carefully. It was indeed the two Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine he needed, and he immediately put them into his Storage Bag.
"Thank you, Your Highness! At least we didn't come away empty-handed! We, your fellow disciples, will find another way to get the sixth-grade spirit medicine!"
"By the way, how many Spirit Stone are needed for two spirit medicine herbs?"
Cang Mingxiao waved his hand. "Little Alchemist, you are insulting me. No amount of Spirit Stone can repay the kindness of True Man He. These two spirit medicine are a gift from me, Cang Mingxiao, to True Man He!"
Upon hearing this, Su Bai's face lit up with excitement, "The Third Prince is truly a man of great loyalty! We should drink a big toast to him!"
He immediately picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a basinful.
Fueled by the alcohol, Su Bai leaped high into the air, disrespectfully holding the wine bowl and putting his arm around Cang Mingxiao's shoulder, "Third Prince, I'll drink first!"
Su Bai drank it all in one gulp!
That was close! He almost passed out from the strong alcohol. In his hazy state, Su Bai activated the Copy ability of [Immortal Talent Reflection].
"Copy his [Tidal Song Sacred Vein] for me!"
