Chapter 336 — Vile Thoughts
Wu Yu accepted the Inner Pill and checked it over. Suddenly beaming with joy, he handed over a bottle of He Xi's boiled medicinal juice. “Remember to clear your body of spiritual power before taking it.”
No longer daring to tarry, the youth emptied his body of all spiritual power. Soon after, he quickly drank the antidote.
Right after he drank the antidote, severe pain began to spread. The pain caused him to repeatedly howl, rolling around on the floor.
But, before half an hour even passed, the pain began to gradually reside and the pus on his body also completely disappeared. Even the wound began to rapidly heal.
He felt his spiritual power return to his dantain [1] and the burning pain in his internal organs faded away. The youth couldn't help but laugh. Facing He Xi, he dropped to his knees with his hands clasped, his face still held some of his previous unwillingness, “Thank you Genius Doctor for saving my life!”
Compared to one's own life, any medicinal pill isn't important when you don't have a life to live anymore!
At this moment, the people who entered the medicinal field to collect herbal medicine in order to imitate He Xi's refining method to make the boiled medicinal juice, shockingly discovered that the moment their spiritual energy touched the originally green herbal medicine, it would immediately turn into ashes. It was much harder to accomplish than He Xi's effortless demonstration suggested.
Now, everybody had no other way out, additionally, people were already able to obtain the antidote after exchanging their treasure. Who dared to still hesitate? One after another, they took out their treasures to exchange with He Xi.
From far away, Feng Lian Ying clenched her fists. She watched He Xi's stars gathering around the moon appearance [2] and bit down on her teeth until they made ‘ge ge‘ sounds.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of clunking and her well taken care of little finger's fingernail broke in half as she felt a burst of pain.
“Why? Why? Why have I been beaten by such a low-lying waste?”
“How many years of have I spent cultivating? My teacher is the master of Thousand Poison Valley! My hard earned reputation suddenly brought upon this result!”
“I don't accept this! I'm not reconciled- -! Heaven is unfair, I must make that slut pay the price!”
Feng Lian Ying's voice was coarse, completely opposite to her usual sweet and dainty sound and her whole face was even more terrifying.
Nie Jinchen worriedly supported her, softly saying, “Lian Ying mei mei [3], don't be angry, it's bad for your body to be angry over trash.”
Nie Jinchen didn't even get to finish speaking before Feng Lian Ying swung her hand up and ruthlessly slapped his face. Shrieking, “Get lost! Who do you think you are? Who let you touch me?”
“Don't think I know your vile thoughts towards me. You only covet my status and good looks. Pah! I don't even dare look at what status you have. Merely someone with no family background, just a disciple of Liu Li sect. Are you worthy of me? Can you match up with Big Brother Yu?”
“Get lost! Go far away!”
Putting a hand over his face, Nie Jinchen was in disbelief. His face got scratched by Feng Lian Ying's fingernails, leaving traces of blood.
To the side, disciples of the Liu Li sect watched the pair. His expression was full of pity and joy over another person's calamity. All the admiration and ties of friendship in his heart transformed into embarrassment and hate.
Nie Jinchen bowed his head, tightly clenching his fist, he didn't utter another word. The brightness in his eyes dulled a bit.
Feng Yunjing saw the whole moment between Feng Lian Ying and Nie Jinchen and coldly laughed.
Silly woman, simply wasted Feng family's cultivation from these past few years.

Chapter 337 — It's Better To Go Back With Me
If she wasn't the Thousand Poison Valley's Master's favorite disciple, then he would've long tossed aside this woman who lost face for Feng family! As expected, children of concubines really didn't deserve to be in the public view!
Feng Yunjing lightly swung his arms and lowly spoke to a trusted confidant on the side, “Looks like this grassland doesn't have the stuff we need. Prepare to leave here immediately.”
“Yes, Young Master!” The trusted confidant answered, bowing. However, looking to the side at the Liu Li sect disciples who had been knocked unconscious by the Intoxicated Blood poison, he couldn't help but ask, “Young Master, what do we do with these two people?”
Originally the Liu Li sect disciples stayed far away and nobody got infected. But unfortunately, Feng Lian Ying allowed Shangguan Rui to take the Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill. As a result, Shangguan Rui exploded in front of everyone and two of Liu Li sect's disciples who were caught off guard were touched by a little bit of the pus. Sure enough, they got infected as well.
Feng Yunjin's eyes were ice cold, lacking any emotions, “Leave them here to die on their own.” Suddenly his heart moved, he consciously checked, looking towards his treasured He Xi.
The youth was like a painting, the skin was the color of snow, their eyes were full of bright stars. The bright red lips were lifted on either corner. The youth had unparalleled seductiveness.
As Feng Yunjin's eyes looked on, he suddenly turned to walk towards the youth.
Right at this moment, He Xi was also checking over the treasure Wu Yu and Gu Liufeng were handing over. Every speck was the same, her heart blossomed with joy.
These indeed were Level 5 Magical Beast Inner Pills. Previously, she worked extremely hard but was only able to obtain two of these. This time, she's able to replenish Dan Dan and the Little Golden Dragon again.
Furthermore, one dozen Level 4 books which could be used to save the lives of groups people. Really couldn't be better!
Unexpectedly, there was also a flying skill book which was able to increase speed. Clicking her tongue, there definitely wasn't a price for this on the market.
While He Xi's faced remained calm and collected on the outside, she had long gotten extremely excited in her heart over the prospect of earning money.
Taking the next box, He Xi was just about to open it when suddenly she felt her eyes darken and she was enveloped in a shadow.
Very quickly, she heard Feng Yunjing's icy voice,
“He Xi, two of my Liu Li sect's discples were infected with Intoxicated Blood Poison.”
“So?” He Xi raised her head up, looking at him and coldly asked.
Standing very close, Feng Yunjing could take the youth…… Or he ought to say the young girl's clear and neat face was pleasing to the eyes. He couldn't help but smile deviously, “It would be better to go back with me. If you're able to treat my subordinates, your ability could also be used by my Feng family.
Saying this, Feng Yunjing slowly stooped down. His hot breath came out as he controlled the desire to slowly spit in He Xi's face. “You can rest assured, I won't treat you unfairly. Whatever Nangong Yu gives you, I can also give. Furthermore, I can give even more. How about it?”
He Xi who had been sluggish for half the day suddenly reacted as if she heard a joke, rubbing her ears.
“Excuse me?! This Feng Yunjing and Feng Lian Ying just a moment ago wanted to join together and kill her. Suddenly, he now wanted her to come back with him to Feng family and still asks her how about it?
Is this person experiencing a mental breakdown? Or has their brain short-circuited?
But before He Xi could say anything, a pair of black shadows wielding swords came down from the sky, ruthlessly chopping towards Feng Yunjing with killing intent.
Feng Yunjing already had his guard up and began rapidly retreating. But he also sacrificed his magic weapon before he was able to even consider avoiding two, who seemed to attack with the intent to destroy the earth.
Boom! The earth shook as lightning came down.
Chapter 338 — Give It To Me!
Slowly flashing, Nangong Yu's, figure was like a fantasy, arriving to stand beside He Xi. He extended his hand out to take He Xi's hand, drawing her closer to his chest.
His cold gaze stared towards the nearby Feng Yunjing, saying, “Feng Yunjing, don't let me remind you a third time. Xi'er is mine, don't try and lay a hand on her again or don't blame me for not being polite!”
Feng Yunjing's face didn't hold a lot of anger, but it did have coldness and disdain. “Nangong Yu, even though your Hell King Manor's reputation is considered impressive, but my Feng family's prestige is impressive too. Good poultry chooses wood. [1] I trust that Genius Doctor Xi knows which option is the best one to choose.”
The burst of electricity, although short, was able to attract everybody's attention.
At this moment, just as Feng Yunjing said these words, everybody turned pale with fright. Looking southward, Nangong Yu waited and watched as the absent-mindedness in everyone's eyes turned to restrained fear and respect.
Hell King- -! This is the famously brilliant His Highness Hell King, ah!
At the mere age of fifteen, he was able to become a Gold Core and become Mi Luo Continent's number one genius!
Using his own strength he was able single-handedly to fight against the Magical Beasts beasts' troops. He was able to save Jin Ling country from downfall, that His Highness Hell King!
Not only that, he is also cruel and cold blooded. With his Xuan Yuan sword, he slaughtered thousands of lives, completely dyeing the soil on Gui Jin mountain range red- - He is the Lord of the Netherworld!
Feng Yunjing seemed to have not saw everyone's shocked expressions. Looking at Nangong Yu with a sneer, he slowly said, “Not to mention, you are the famous His Highness Hell King. With your prestige, you could get any beautiful girl you wanted. Why are you so stingy, holding onto a girl who's merely at Foundation Establishment Stage?”
“How about this, you give Xi Yue to me. I promise that later on, one-tenth of the medicinal pills Feng family produces each year, we'll gift to you. How's that?
Everyone, having heard this, all let simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.
This was Feng family's yearly production of medicinal pills. Saying these pills are priceless still wouldn't be considered too much.
Who didn't know that Feng family had a Grand Master Level refining pharmacist? In the entirety of Mi Luo Continent, the amount of Grand Master Level refining pharmacists were like feathers of a phoenix. [2] Each year, only 12 medicinal pills were produced and sold. Each of these medicinal pills were priceless and couldn't be bought with money.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards Hell King. In their minds, although the Foundation Establishment Stage youngster was a natural talent and had some skills… How could she compare to Feng family's medicinal pills? They thought, as long as Hell King's brain hadn't malfunctioned, he wouldn't refuse.
However, Nangong Yu's expression was extremely chilly. He seemed extremely angry, comparable to a gunpowder barrel which was ready to burst at any given time.
He looked coldly at Feng Yunjing, slowly raising the black sword he was holding in his hand. The sword's killing intent sent a shiver up everyone's spines. “Feng Yunjing, if you wish to court death, then I don't mind helping you!”
Feng Yunjing narrowed his eyes and swept them over Nangong Yu and He Xi. Faintly smiling, he said, “This was merely a suggestion. Nangong, even if you don't agree, you don't have to get so angry.”
“You can go back and think this over. The promises I made today are forever valid. If you change your mind, you can find me at any time.
Finished speaking, he looked towards He Xi and the blazing light in his eyes flashed away. “Xi Yue, Feng family's doors are always open for you. You can also come find me at any time.”
[1] Good poultry chooses wood – Has a similar idea to “a talented person chooses a patron of integrity” or “a fine bird chooses the best tree to nest in”
[2] feathers of a phoenix – Metaphor for precious and rare things
Chapter 339 - Plan Ahead
He Xi picked up the wooden tablet, turning it around in her hands to look at the entire thing. This was actually the token to Feng family's outer door, and it's level was quite high too. Non-inner core disciples aren't allowed to block it.
Not bad! This really was going to the Feng family to kill someone for his property. [1] An indispensable move, ah!
He Xi beamed, storing the command tablet in her space. Seeing this, Nangong Yu couldn't help it and his expression became extremely ugly.
He took He Xi into his embrace, coldly surveying her, he said, “Xi'er, if you dare to leave me to go into another man's embrace then I will…… I will……”
“You will do what?” Hexi raised her eyebrow up. She happily looked up at him, “You'll kill me?”
Nangong Yu's breath stilled. He felt as if this person was both crafty and beautiful, allowing him to love and hate her. He wished he could marry her immediately so he could shut her away and not allow anybody else to covet her.
But the reasonable part of his mind told him, Xi'er was different. He couldn't possibly lock her up for a lifetime and break her wings, she had her own world and wonderful life.
He Xi saw his cold face trying repress his emotions, he had the appearance that he would burst at any time. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, “Even if I wished to go into another man's embrace, I wouldn't choose to go to that mental case, Feng Yunjing, okay? You seem to think there's a hole in my brain and I would look for a tyrant, ah!”
Saying this, she walked away and didn't bother him anymore. She minded her own business, continuing to open all the treasures Wu Yu had gotten.
Nangong Yu watched He Xi leave, but he didn't move for a long time. His eyes stayed at the sight where Feng Yunjing and his subordinates left from.
Qing Long stepped forward, to the side, he softly said, “Master.”
Nangong Yu's long eyelashes dropped down, hiding his stormy mood. Then with a slow and low voice he said, “Notify Wu Xin, prepare ahead.”
Qing Long was startled, his face betrayed his emotions. “Master!?”
This decision was related to Ming Wang Manor and Master's future. Master understated the decision, was it because of the matter concerning Feng Yunjing? Or was it because of wangfei [2]?
Qing Long wanted to say more, but when he saw Nangong Yu's cold and indifferent expression, he swallowed his words.
In any case, Master's command was their everything, they just have to follow it!
“Yes Master!” Qing Long bowed. The indifference in his eyes slowly turned cold.
Just for this day, Ming Wang Manor has already endured silently for long enough!
During this time, the treasures collected by Wu Yu and Gu Liufeng was quite a lot.
At one side, He Xi examined these treasures and then threw them into her space. Just thinking about the amount of yuan crystals she could get from these treasures, she became very happy.
One night turned into a rich feeling, it truly was too refreshing.
“Genius Doctor Xi.” Suddenly there was a male's hoarse voice sounding from above her head.
He Xi lifted her head up to discover a middle aged man, who was about thirty years old. Although his cultivation base wasn't high, his body was intact, apparently unaffected by the Intoxicated Blood Poison.
The man's skin was very coarse and his hands were full of scars and calluses. His eyes were muddy and seemed to be filled full of sadness and hate. But they were also filled with helplessness.
Meeting He Xi's gaze, he didn't have many words to say. Instead, he took a jade box from his arms and handed it to He Xi. “I heard them say Genius Doctor Xi was looking for Burning Heaven Realm's Divine Dragon Fruit. I accidentally got this in Burning Heaven Realm. I hope Genius Doctor Xi won't ignore this.”
[1] to kill someone for his property – idiom; similar meaning to robbing someone
[2] wangfei – princess
Chapter 340 - What Do You Want Me To Do For You?
He Xi blankly stared, then suddenly she opened her eyes wide. For a split second, she thought she heard wrong.
Divine Dragon Fruit?! Although she did deliberately mention to Wu Yu that she was looking for the Divine Dragon Fruit, she never thought she would be able to get it through this exchange.
After all, the Divine Dragon Fruit was extremely precious, the process of obtaining it is very challenging, forget about even a few people being able to obtain it. But, even if one does manage to obtain the fruit, with it's high value, who would be stupid enough to trade it away?
He Xi accepted the jade box and opened it. After taking one look at it, she already knew this really was the Divine Dragon Fruit. This Divine Dragon Fruit was Little Golden Dragon's most needed spiritual fruit, it was the one which could heal him the most.
Speaking to the middle-aged man, her tone was very mild, “Do you have any relatives who need me to detoxify or save them? Bring me over to see them?”
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man stood in the same spot he was originally. His face was filled with sadness and desperation and after a while, he finally said, “No more…… No more…… There's already nobody left, it's too late!”
He suddenly turned around, pointing to a distant silhouette of a woman lying down. Then he pointed to the ground where the blood boiled then disappeared. Distressed, he said, “Genius Doctor Xi, do you understand now? That is my wife and son, just one hour before, they were still alive. Although my son was infected, he at the very least had the will to live.”
“But, Feng Yian Ling- -! It's all because of Feng Yian Ling, that malicious woman! Unexpectedly, she forced my son to eat the Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill. Letting my son explode and die, becoming nothing but a puddle of blood.”
“My wife was so angry, she went to argue. But, she ended up being seriously injured by Liu Li Temple's people!”
“I'm unwilling, I'm very unwilling! Clearly, our family is nothing more than insignificant warriors. And Liu Li Sect, everybody minds their own business. For what reason did Feng Yian Ling not take our lives as lives? Why did she allow my family to fall apart? The family is bankrupt and the people are dead! [1]
The middle-aged man's voice was full of suffering and despair, breaking one's heart. Tears were flowing down his face.
He Xi was silent for a long time, gently pinching the jade box. Lowering her voice, “You gifted me the Divine Dragon Fruit, but what do you want me to do for you?”
The man miserably shook his head, “After losing my wife and child, these material items no longer have any worth to me. My family passed on specific ways to make charms. My family stayed in Burning Heaven Realm for seven days and seven nights, ambushing people. With great difficulty, we were able to obtain this Divine Dragon Fruit. The original hope was to improve my son's aptitude, giving him the ability to enter an influential sect to give him a more promising future.”
“But now, it's all over! All finished! What use is this Divine Dragon Fruit to me now?!”
The man's voice got heavier and heavier, filled with more and more sadness and hatred. He seemed to have lost all hope before slowly lowering his voice, “Genius Doctor Xi, if I was to say I had any hopes left, it would be that one day when you deal with that slut Feng Yian Ling… When you give Feng Yian Ling and Liu Li Sect a tragic end, let me watch this scene with my own eyes!”
He Xi raised her eyebrows up and noncommittally said, “How do you know that I will deal with Feng Yian Ling? And how do you know that I have the strength to bring Liu Li Sect to a tragic end?”
