Chapter 159
"Then I'll trouble you to guide Ruoshui, senior."
Refining pills for His Highness was something Ye Ruoshui had always longed for, so she readily agreed without any objection.
Without wasting any time, the two immediately began to develop the elixir.
Xiao Minghuang discovered that Ye Ruoshui was now using a different alchemy furnace, a Mysterious Tier High-grade, which was presumably crafted with the assistance of the Medicine King.
"It seems that the Medicine King really treats Ruoshui well. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have him serve as Ruoshui bodyguard in the future."
Xiao Minghuang pondered to herself that she had been suddenly "abducted" to the Spirit Sword Sect this time, and hadn't even had time to greet Ye Ruoshui and the others.
Ye Ruoshui is pure of heart, and without an experienced elder to guide her, she would likely suffer losses, but it is impossible for her to stay by Ye Ruoshui's side at all times.
The existence of the Medicine King certainly has its significance.
While Ye Ruoshui was refining pills, Xiao Minghuang summoned the Medicine King.
"Senior, I have a favor to ask."
Xiao Minghuang's voice was as clear and crisp as ever, but it carried a hint of unyielding authority.
Upon hearing this, the Medicine King, unsure of her true intentions, remained silent for a moment before asking:
"If it weren't for the princess, I would have already perished. I can never repay such a great kindness in this lifetime. Princess, please speak freely. As long as it is something I can do, I will do it for you, no matter what!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang suddenly chuckled and said gently:
"Senior, you misunderstand. I just noticed that you and Ruoshui get along quite well. If you don't mind, could you help look after her when I'm away?"
"Of course, I won't waste your cultivation time. I see you must have some hidden injuries to your soul. I have a spiritual herb here that can help calm your mind and heal your soul wounds. Consider it a small token of my gratitude!"

This lotus flower is pure white, with round petals, each about the size of a palm, making it exceptionally beautiful.
After Xiao Minghuang took out the lotus flower, the Medicine King's expression froze for a moment. He quickly reached out and tremblingly accepted the lotus flower.
"This... this is Western Land Spirit Medicine, the Calming Lotus! It has miraculous effects in repairing the soul, and its value is no less than some Earth-grade pill! Princess, this gift is a bit too generous; this old man cannot accept it!"
Though he said this, the Medicine King's body obeyed perfectly, and he accepted the lotus flower.
This lotus flower was a return gift to Calming Lotus as compensation, and she never expected it to be so precious.
"Oh? Senior knows the origin of this flower?"
The Medicine King, his face filled with excitement, said:
" In the Western Regions Buddhist Land, there are two great classical texts: the Great Sun Nirvana Sutra and the Immovable Wisdom King Sutra. The former refines the spirit, while the latter tempers the body."
"This Calming Lotus is an essential item for cultivating the Great Sun Nirvana Sutra. If used correctly, it can cultivate a king of the Life and Death Realm!"
At this point, he sighed softly, and the excitement on his face gradually subsided.
"Unfortunately, the Great Sun Nirvana Sutra is a closely guarded secret of the Western Lands, and we have no opportunity to cultivate it... However, this spiritual flower is enough to restore me to the Primal Embryo Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's eyes sparkled with delight. What the Great Xia lacked most right now was combat power at the Primal Embryo Realm.
If a Primal Embryo Realm expert had been present at the exit of the secret realm, how could Dragon Tiger True Person have been allowed to act so recklessly?
"If you can recover to the Primal Embryo Realm, that would be wonderful! This junior congratulates you."
"Thanks!"
The Medicine King solemnly clasped his hands in greeting, his heart filled with countless emotions.
He knew that he owed his current success entirely to Xiao Minghuang, and thus his gratitude towards her deepened even further.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go into seclusion now."
"Senior, please feel free to do as you please, but please remember to be careful and cautious during your breakthrough."
Xiao Minghuang reminded him, fearing that the Medicine King might be too overjoyed and make a mistake during his breakthrough, which would mean all his previous efforts would be in vain.
"Thank you for the reminder, Princess. I will keep it in mind."
After speaking, the Wang Fei the courtyard and disappeared into the endless mountain range.
After the Medicine King left, Xiao Minghuang turned her gaze to the hut where Ye Ruoshui was refining pills.
"I wonder how long it will take for Ruoshui to refine the pills. I can use this time to refine the Meteor Star Liquid and improve my cultivation."
However, she had one more thing to do before that.
Previously, at the exit of the secret realm, the Old Ancestor was injured by the Dragon Tiger True Person while saving her, which made the Old Ancestor, who already had little life left, age even more.
She received a miraculous herb from the system's compensation, which could help prolong life. If she gave it to her Old Ancestor, it should be able to extend his life by a few years.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Minghuang left the courtyard and flew towards the main peak once again.
This time, no one hindered or made things difficult for me.
The disciples guarding the mountain quickly reported the news, but it was not Sheng Bailan who came to greet them, but Elder Xuanjian.
"Princess Xiao, are you here to see the Sect Master? She's in seclusion. Is there anything you need?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Why the sudden decision to go into seclusion?
Besides, didn't Sect Master not want her to return to Great Xia?
Why is she no longer leaving, but Sect Master Sheng has gone into seclusion?
"Here's the thing, I have important business to attend to and plan to return to the Great Xia, but my Dao Companion is currently refining pills and cannot return with me. I would like to ask Elder Xuanjian to look after him for me."
"This matter is simple, Princess Xiao, please rest assured. I guarantee that no one will disturb your Dao Companion's alchemy."
Thank you!
Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and left.
The Spirit Sword Sect is some distance from the Great Xia.
Previously, Elder Xuanjian rode his flying sword at a slow speed because he had to be mindful of disciples with lower cultivation levels, and it took him ten days to arrive.
Even if she flew non-stop, it would still take her five days to arrive.
"I wonder how our Old Ancestor is doing now. I hope he can make it in time."
Xiao Minghuang muttered to himself, then quickened his pace and flew towards Great Xia.
Spirit Sword Sect.
Inside a quiet room in the forbidden area of the main peak.
A woman dressed in white is sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat.
It was Sheng Bailan.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils filled with intertwined Sword Qi that burst forth, slicing through the air with a crackling sound.
Although she felt ashamed of herself after seeing Xiao Minghuang and her Dao Companion's loving relationship, she decided to go into seclusion.
But even sitting alone in the quiet room, I couldn't calm my mind.
The sensations of that night, the pleasure of the union of body and soul, lingered in her heart.
Fifty years of cold loneliness, once warmth was found, and now I don't want to let go.
If you hold back, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll only feel like you've lost out!
On what grounds?
Could that seemingly timid little girl, who only knows how to cower in Xiao Minghuang's arms, really win Xiao Minghuang's favor?
Why can't she?
Sheng Bailan stood up and looked down at her chest.
... No smaller than that little girl!
Then I looked at my legs.
She was slender and shapely, just as beautiful as that little girl!
Or is it that... Xiao Minghuang simply prefers those naive and sweet girls who whine and cry?
Sheng Bailan narrowed her beautiful eyes. What cultivators seek is a clear and unobstructed mind!
What's the point of cultivating a sword if you can't even get the person you love?!
As a sword cultivator, she was born with Clear Sword Heart. If she could not obtain what she desired, her sword heart would be tarnished forever.
In this lifetime, I fear my cultivation will make little progress.
Therefore, she did it not only for her own feelings, but also for her future path of cultivation.
She's going to challenge that little brat!
In the name of love!
"Snort!"
Sheng Bailan snorted softly, slapped the stone door open with a palm, and sped out.
Elder Xuanjian noticed the commotion and quickly flew over.
"Senior sister, you've finished your seclusion so quickly?"
He could sense that his senior sister's condition seemed a bit off; her sword intent was disordered, and she showed signs of Qi Deviation.
A sword intent flickered in Sheng Bailan's pupils, poised to strike.
Where is Xiao Minghuang?
Elder Xuanjian was taken aback, and replied:
"She said she had urgent business to attend to and was returning to Xia Kingdom."
Before he could finish speaking...
With a flicker, Sheng Bailan transformed into a pure white sword light, piercing the sky and heading straight for the Great Xia Dynasty.
She's going to fight for it!
How will you know if it will work if you don't try?
On the road.
Xiao Minghuang did not stop for even a moment along the way.
She is currently at the Divine Sea Third Layer, and her flight speed is not slow. Moreover, she has used a talisman to accelerate her speed, so she is far faster than ordinary Spirit Seed Realm experts.
However, his eagerness attracted the attention of many passing cultivators.
Especially those with ulterior motives.
News of Xiao Minghuang appearing alone in the wilderness quickly spread to the Dragon Tiger Sect.
Upon hearing the news.
Dragon Tiger True Person was constantly switching between frustration and anger, suddenly perked up.
"Hahaha! Princess of Xia, your death is near!"

On the way to the Great Xia, Xiao Minghuang moved like a rainbow across the sky.
Just then, a powerful surge of blood energy erupted from the void, condensing into a giant, golden hand that appeared in the air, pressing down with an aura of annihilation.
