The Seventh Princess raised an eyebrow, thinking, when did the ancestral Dragon Blood Steed acknowledge Long Fei as its master?
Normally, even her royal father couldn’t summon this Dragon-Horse, but a whistle from Long Fei brought it over.
She asked Long Fei, "Why did you call it over?"
Long Fei chuckled, "The redy for the illness lies with this Dragon-Horse."
He instructed the coachman to fill the trough with water, then signaled the Dragon-Horse to pee into it.
The Seventh Princess blushed, turning away for a mont.
The stream of urine was quite large, lasting several breaths and turning the water in the trough a bit yellow.
Long Fei instructed the grooms, "Give this water to the sick warhorses, and they’ll recover in no ti."
The grooms stared wide-eyed and asked, "Consort Prince, will this really work?"
Long Fei laughed lightly, "What, don’t believe ? If not, just sit and wait for the Emperor’s punishnt tomorrow!"
The grooms exchanged glances and looked to the physicians for help.
The physicians furrowed their brows and said, "Listen to the Consort Prince, do it!"
"Do it!"
A group of grooms made up their minds, each grabbing wooden buckets, scooping the yellow water, and pouring it into the mouths of the sick warhorses.
The Seventh Princess felt a bit disgusted watching from the side and quietly asked Long Fei, "Are you joking or serious?"
Long Fei laughed, "Of course, I’m serious. Do you think I’d really want the Emperor to have my head chopped off?"
The Seventh Princess doubted, "Can a bit of urine cure illness?"
Long Fei laughed, "It depends on whose urine it is. If it’s an Immortal’s, it might even grant immortality. You should know that cultivators don’t need to relieve themselves, let alone Divine Beasts. This Dragon-Horse’s urine is actually its Essence Blood. It can not only cure a simple case of diarrhea but even the incurable diseases of ordinary people."
"Really?"
Seeing his words so mystical, the Seventh Princess couldn’t help but watch the warhorses with curiosity.
It wasn’t long after the grooms poured the water in that the warhorses really got up on their feet again.
The grooms were so shocked and astonished that they cried out, "They stood up, they really stood up!"
"Oh my god! This is truly miraculous!"
"A sign from the Immortals, a sign from the Immortals!"
"Consort Prince really is a Divine Being!"
"..."
Everyone, excitedly shouting, hurried to give the warhorses more yellow water.
One of the grooms thought it was sothing good, and secretly drank a few sips himself.
The taste was truly indescribable.
After a night of fuss, by dawn, the warhorses were all standing tall.
They’d regained their usual spirit, as if nothing had happened, munching on the feed to replenish their strength.
The grooms and physicians, all happy, crowded around, kneeling down in front of Long Fei.
If it weren’t for Long Fei, they’d all be in danger once the Emperor found fault.
Li Yuanqing and Li Jinxuan, having dealt with family matters, rushed over upon hearing the news, both sighing in relief at seeing the lively warhorses in the pen.
The past few days had really scared them quite a bit.
Li Yuanqing clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Long Fei, "Consort Prince, regardless of any misunderstandings we had before, I, Li Yuanqing, will consider you as my elder brother from now on. Should you ever need my assistance, I’ll comply without hesitation."
Li Jinxuan also smiled and offered her thanks, "Princess, Consort Prince, thank you both for this!"
Long Fei smiled at the sibling pair and said, "Alright, this was nothing major, no need for thanks."
Li Yuanqing exclaid happily, "I’ll go ho and inform my father first, and we’ll have a banquet tonight to celebrate!"
He took leave first, flying off with his sword.
Li Jinxuan covered her mouth with a smile, "My brother has been scared out of his wits these past two days."
The Seventh Princess stretched lazily and said, "Now that everything’s settled, I should catch up on so sleep too."
She took Li Jinxuan along and bid farewell to Long Fei.
Long Fei saw them off with a smile and then went alone to the grooms’ quarters.
At that mont, there was only one person in the dormitory.
He was covered in whip marks, finding it difficult to even turn over in bed.
When Long Fei entered, he stared at him for a mont, then broke into tears and cried out, "Consort Prince..."
Long Fei sat down and handed him a fifth-grade healing pill.
Old Ma accepted it, his body shaking with emotion.
A fifth-grade pill, that was a wealth beyond reach in a normal person’s lifeti.
Outside, it could sell for an astronomical price.
Old Ma, choked with emotion, didn’t know what to say.
Long Fei patted his shoulder with a smile, "Take it, heal well, and then help . This stud farm will soon change hands, and no one will dare bully you anymore."
Old Ma consud the pill with tears, feeling ashad and said, "Consort Prince, why do you help ? I was useless and didn’t help you at all before."
Long Fei smiled, "You’ve done quite well. You stood up for even under threats. Others might have given in and sided with those who threatened them."
Old Ma imdiately straightened his neck, "There’s nothing to say about that; although I, Old Ma, fear death, betraying friends is sothing I cannot do."
Long Fei patted his shoulder with a smile, "I know, you recover well! In a few days, better days are coming for you all."
Old Ma nodded tearfully, his wounds visibly healing quickly.
He was only at the late Enlightennt Realm, but signs of breakthrough appeared.
Old Ma was full of excitent and sat cross-legged, trying to break through what he previously thought as reaching the limits of his Divine Sea, little knowing that after taking the pill, there’d be such a reaction.
After Long Fei left, he returned to his own courtyard and continued refining the newly acquired Nine Heavens Extermination Formation.
This formation includes nine Immortal King Swords, obtained from the Zhang Family Ancestor.
The last ti Long Fei seized them, he only wielded them using the Military Character Spell, without truly refining them.
During these days of seclusion, besides managing the stud farm using his clone, he had been focusing on refining this top-tier Magical Treasure.
Although it’s not a True Immortal Art Array, in this world, it’s already of the highest quality.
He aid to walk the Immortal King’s Way, so the more Protective Dharma Treasures he had, the better.
The disturbances of the world outside were no longer his concern.
The Emperor’s sacrificial grand hall was not delayed; all the hundred thousand warhorses participated as guards.
The Dragon-Horse was quite splendid, pulling the Emperor’s Immortal King carriage at the forefront.
Everyone gossiped about its previous inability, unaware that it had risen again, not only increasing in strength but also bursting with vitality.
People rumored it was the Consort Prince’s miraculous hands that healed the Dragon-Horse.
The na of the Consort Prince echoed once more in the Celestial Realms City.
Two days later, an Imperial Decree was issued.
All those involved in harming the Consort Prince, poisoning the warhorses, and participating in corruption at the stud farm, a total of 120 main offenders, were all taken to the marketplace and executed imdiately by beheading.
Stud farm overseer Li Yuanqing was found negligent in military command and was dismissed and ordered to reflect in seclusion at ho.
Chief Physician Jiang Hengyuan, credited for curing warhorses and exposing the corruption, was specially promoted to stud farm overseer and also made chief of the Imperial Guards cavalry of a hundred thousand.
The Imperial Decree shook the world.
Neglecting the appointing of the stud farm overseer, to have a borderlands youth rise to such an important position as chief of the Celestial Realms City’s most elite military force was unexpected.
Generals and officials visited Li Daoxun, one by one envious and resentful, wishing to go to the palace to debate with the Emperor.
Since ancient tis, military appointnts have always been selected from noble families within the military.
When had it ever co to awarding such a significant post to the son of a borderland family?
