Chapter 306: Chapter 306 Minister under the Skirt (28)
“`
The fla, only the size of a fist with a small tail, resembled an oversized tadpole.
At first glance, the fla was a faint blue, but upon closer inspection, it revealed a trace of purple.
Nie Kun stood up straight from his chair, his eyes fixed on the swirling fla in the middle.
“What is this?”
“It scared to death, it just flew past my face all of a sudden.”
“Is this fire? Why does it look so strange?”
Nie Kun’s eyes shimred with excitent, “This is the Purple Nether Fire Spirit!”
A fla is ultimately just a fla, a lifeless thing, requiring an alchemist to guide it.
But a Fire Spirit is different, it can communicate with an alchemist, hardly needing control.
“Purple Nether Fire Spirit? What is that, I’ve never heard of it?” They had heard of the other items ntioned before, but what was this Purple Nether Fire Spirit?
“The legendary fire of Hell,” said soone who knew, “No one has ever seen it before, is this the Purple Nether Fire?”
“Whose is it?”
“Don’t know, it ca in from outside.”
“It isn’t unowned, is it?”
Chu Yingyu’s expression under the veil grew grim, where had this thing sprung from?
The Purple Nether Fire Spirit circled in the air before suddenly dashing outside.
“Catch it!”
Master Nie Kun cried out in excitent.
A group of people imdiately used their varied skills, chasing after the Purple Nether Fire Spirit as it went out, the spirit flew chaotically in the air, slipping right through one’s grasp even when caught.
“Catch it,” Chu Yingyu ordered Li Liang.
No matter who it belonged to, whoever caught it now would own it, and this might be the key to obtaining the Primordial Spirit Golden Pill.
The Purple Nether Fire Spirit led a group of people straight out of the city.
The terrain beca more and more expansive, with the Skeleton Forest’s boundary line where it t the sky coming into distant view.
“It’s stopped!”
“There’s soone!”
At this point, the Purple Nether Fire Spirit had stopped not far away, above a carriage.
Many recognized that carriage, around town there was a profligate son recently buying up things regardless of cost.
Many had eyed this man’s fortunes, only to find those individuals no longer seen the following day.
A pale hand erged from the carriage, lifting the curtain, followed by a purple skirt fluttering out, then a woman leaped down from the carriage with agile and neat posture.
The woman had an exquisite face devoid of any expression, calm and indifferent, yet not diminishing the striking presence of her countenance.
It was a kind of aloof beauty that was brilliant and splendid, like the snow on distant mountains, undeniable of attention.
Her presence wasn’t diminished by the vast plains behind her; rather, it gave off the impression that she looked down upon the entire world with an unparalleled, noble aura, beyond compare.
In her arms, she held a golden mouse, while another head peeked out from the carriage, resembling a bird… Upon seeing so many people, the bird quickly retreated back.
“Wu Di!”
Soone in the crowd suddenly exclaid.
Wu Di poked his head out again, sneakily glancing at the crowd, locking eyes with Chuzheng’s icy stare, Wu Di shouted, “I don’t know them.”
Chuzheng: “…”
The guilt evident though he denied it.
The person who shouted was Wang Zhicheng.
Wang Zhicheng interrogated loudly, “How did Wu Di end up with you! Who are you!”
“Jun Chuzheng,” Chuzheng calmly petted the Tianjin Mouse, justifiably, “I found it.”
Wu Di: “…” Nonsense! Try finding another one to see!
“Jun… Is she from the Jun Family?”
“Aren’t the Jun Family’s people over there? That’s not right, her na, seems similar to that of the Jun Family’s leading lady.”
“It seems to be.”
“What’s going on here?”
Doubtful glances shifted between Chuzheng and Chu Yingyu, despite Chu Yingyu’s veiled face, so noticed a resemblance between the brows of the two.
Wang Zhicheng had no ti to care about these details.
“Wu Di is my junior brother’s contracted beast, how could you have found it?” Wang Zhicheng raged, “Where is my junior brother, what have you done to him?”
A contracted beast accompanying another person…
It could only an that its previous owner had died.
“`
“I don’t know, I found it.”
Indeed, she had found it.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Wu Di had long since shrunk inside the carriage, not daring to show his face.
He was so afraid of seeing the family mbers of his forr owner.
“You…”
Nie Kun cut off the man’s words, “Miss, may I ask if this Purple Nether Fire Spirit is yours?”
Listening closely, even Nie Kun’s voice trembled slightly.
With the Purple Nether Fire Spirit, he would advance further, perhaps becoming the most formidable alchemist in Dongyuan…
Wang Zhicheng, having been interrupted by Nie Kun, wanted to erupt with anger but was constrained by Nie Kun’s identity and status.
All he could do was glower at Chuzheng.
Chuzheng glanced at the Purple Nether Fire Spirit, “You want it?”
“Would the miss be willing to part with it?” Nie Kun’s gaze was fixed on the Purple Nether Fire Spirit.
“What will you trade for it?”
She had gone so far as to disregard her noble and cold image to feed the guardian Divine Beast in the underground lair all night long, to the point where the beast couldn’t even run…
But Bastard didn’t tell her that she would have to deal with the Purple Nether Fire Spirit on her own.
It was downright exhausting.
And now they expected her to shalessly trade with this thing.
In your dreams!
“How about a Primordial Spirit Golden Pill?” Nie Kun blurted out without thinking, “To the miss, the Purple Nether Fire Spirit is just a spirit of fire, not much use in your hands, but the Primordial Spirit Golden Pill is different, it’s worth a life.”
Nie Kun, fearing that Chuzheng might refuse, eagerly explained the benefits of the Primordial Spirit Golden Pill.
“…”
The extre contrast from their earlier efforts to please to Nie Kun’s current stance caused a profound discomfort.
It was as if everyone was holding their breath.
Unable to release it, nor to swallow it down.
Especially Chu Yingyu and Wang Zhicheng.
Chuzheng waved her hand and the Purple Nether Fire Spirit flew towards Nie Kun.
Nie Kun tentatively reached out his hand, and the Purple Nether Fire Spirit settled in the palm of his hand.
Nie Kun’s heart was so excited it felt like it was about to leap out.
The Purple Nether Fire Spirit…
An alchemist’s yearnings were different from ordinary people’s, and the crowd couldn’t understand his feelings.
For him, this was a priceless treasure.
“There’s one more condition.”
“Please speak, miss,” Nie Kun suppressed his excitent, but the emotion at the bottom of his eyes was impossible to conceal.
All he wanted to do now was to imdiately use the Purple Nether Fire Spirit to concoct Elixir Pills.
–
Nie Kun concentrated on taking Xie Shu’s pulse, his frown deepening.
“This young master was not properly treated after being injured. His ridians are completely severed, and there’s still sothing inside him…”
Chuzheng, holding the unconscious Xie Shu, asked, “What?”
Ever since entering the city, Xie Shu had been extrely sleepy, sotis not even waking when called.
Seemingly unsure, Nie Kun hesitated for a while before finally speaking, “There’s a very odd power inside him, I feel like I’ve encountered this power sowhere before…”
The latter part was more of a mutter from Nie Kun.
“Can a Primordial Spirit Golden Pill help him recover?”
“It could, but…” Nie Kun released Xie Shu’s wrist, “Let explain it to the miss this way, that power inside the young master, I probed it just now, and that power is very hostile to external forces, which is very strange. How can there be any power in his body if his ridians are completely severed? I’ve never seen anything like this before, so I can’t be certain of the consequences of taking a Primordial Spirit Golden Pill rashly.”
“What power?”
Nie Kun felt the air suddenly grow colder as the woman exerted an oppressive pressure.
Nie Kun was astonished to find himself intimidated by a young lady.
At that mont, an image flashed vividly through his mind.
“Heavy Snow Night Moon!”
“I’ve seen that power inside the young master during the Heavy Snow Night Moon.”
