第三卷 幽州乱 第五百二十二章 旌阳神丹

Good. Since the Fairy has agreed to our conditions, I naturally will do my best to protect you. May I take a look at your injuries?" Lin Xuan chuckled as he approached with an innocent expression.

"You?" The Phoenix Fairy raised her eyebrows and was not pleased.

"Never mind if you don't want to. You might regret it later. Although I am young, I am the Young Master of Spirit Medicine Mountain. I may not have many treasures, but I do have some healing herbs." Lin Xuan pouted slightly, showing a hint of anger at being ignored, though his eyes betrayed cunning.

"Spirit Medicine Mountain?"

Although the Phoenix Fairy resided deep in the Kuinei Mountains, she had some knowledge about the major forces within the Youzhou cultivation world. This famous alchemy sect might indeed have such herbs.

With that thought, she put aside her pride and extended her wrist. Lin Xuan did not make things difficult for her; after all, this was a proud person who could easily be offended by mere jests. His plans were important enough to avoid unnecessary complications.

He reached out with his hand and released his spirit sense.

After a moment, Lin Xuan withdrew his hand, frowning deeply.

"Fairy, are your injuries serious? But the most troublesome is that there's an unusual spiritual energy in your body that can't be resolved."

The Phoenix Fairy was taken aback. The boy really did have some insight. He had used secret techniques to shatter the void, but the power of Vajra Queen Phoenix wasn't easily borrowed; part of it remained within her.

If she hadn't been injured, although troublesome, she could temporarily suppress it and slowly resolve it with her own妖力. But now...

Seeing Lin Xuan's deep frown, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This fall was quite heavy.

"Never mind. You don't need to worry too much; just protect my safety, and I'll find a way to recover over time." Although the Phoenix Fairy's cunning fell short of Lin Xuan's, as a leader, she could handle such matters with ease.

"I admire your magnanimity, but how long do you mean? Ten or twenty years, or even a hundred?" According to what I know, such recovery isn't as simple as just saying so. You can take your time healing, but I don't have the patience to wait by your side," Lin Xuan looked at this beautiful female cultivator and spoke slowly.

"Why do you want to break our agreement?" The Phoenix Fairy's brows shot up despite her severe injuries; a fierce killing intent emanated from her supple yet graceful body.

She was no ordinary leader, a figure who could command the风云. She had already compromised by changing from coercion to cooperation. Could this opponent be satisfied? Was she really afraid of death?

Even a clay figurine retained some earthiness, and this fiery-tempered beauty was no exception.

"Haha, Fairy, don't misunderstand me; that's not what I meant," Lin Xuan quickly waved his hand when he saw her angry brows.

"Stop using sweet talk. Then how do you explain your previous words?" The Phoenix Fairy still wore a frosty expression; she wasn't easily deceived.

"I understand, Fairy. You're in a hurry, but whether we face each other or fight, we must first hear me out before making any decisions." Lin Xuan scratched his head and spoke with some resignation.

Times have changed. Taking a deep breath, the Phoenix Fairy managed to suppress her anger: "Alright, speak."

"Although I am at the Condensation Core stage, my life span is only a few centuries. I cannot accompany you for long, but I can find a way to heal you quickly." After some thought, Lin Xuan spoke seriously.

The Phoenix Fairy's expression was quite interesting—anger turned to surprise, then back to doubt as she pondered his words.

She raised her delicate chin and looked at the young man. His expression was sincere; he didn't seem to be joking or lying.

But she knew her injuries well; they weren't that easy to heal.

"Are you really sure?"

"We are in this together, Fairy. Deceiving you would serve no purpose. Have you heard of Yang Spirit Pill?"

"The Divine Yang Pill?" The Phoenix Fairy was taken aback as she frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, her face changed dramatically, like a cat that had been stepped on: "You... You mean the legendary one? That's impossible. It was extremely rare in the Primordial Era and has long since disappeared."

Millions of years ago, the cultivation world was far more prosperous than it is now. Not only humans but also妖修 were numerous, with countless powerful beings. Among them were many geniuses who excelled in various skills, including alchemy. The Divine Yang Pill was known by a senior from an ancient妖族; it couldn't enhance medicinal power and offered no benefits to cultivation. Yet, it drove all妖修 crazy. No matter how severe the injuries or how much their bodies were restrained, consuming this item would ensure recovery within three days, restoring them to full health.

Of course, it was only useful for妖兽; humans would be wasting it.

Seeing Lin Xuan's calm demeanor, the Phoenix Fairy's eyes brightened: "Friend Lin, do you really have such a pill?"

"Who said I did?" Lin Xuan shook his head carelessly.

"But you just... " The Phoenix Fairy hesitated and didn't finish her sentence.

"Haha, Fairy, you misunderstood. I don't have this item, but I know where to find one." Lin Xuan continued with the same calm tone, but his breathing had subtly changed.

"Where?" The Phoenix Fairy became slightly nervous.

"Spirit Medicine Mountain, Pavilion," Lin Xuan spoke each word clearly.

"What?" This time, it was the Phoenix Fairy who was stunned. She looked at the young man as if he were mad.

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes; he had planned this for days and weeks. Daoist paths were difficult, and obtaining the Tian Chen formula was crucial to his cultivation. He must get it no matter what.

Previously, he had tried to hint at Tongyu True Man a few times, but the old man showed no intention of passing it on.

An eye for an eye; if he couldn't get it honestly, he would have to resort to unconventional means.

However, Spirit Medicine Mountain's strength was comparable to that of the orthodox and evil forces. The Pavilion had the strictest defenses, and even as the young master, Lin Xuan didn't have the authority to enter without permission. Stealing from there wouldn't be easy.

But with patience, opportunities would come. With the major forces in Youzhou convening, Tongyu True Man was bringing Shen Ao Tian; although the sect had Dugu Old Monster and four star elders as well, their strength was relatively weak.

However, he still couldn't force his way into the Pavilion alone but could enlist the help of the Phoenix Fairy.
