Chapter 199: Thrashing That Dead Memory

A somewhat distant memory even left Shen Qingli feeling momentarily dazed.

This person…

He actually looks a lot like Bai Li Chong Tong?

That double‑pupiled white‑eyed wolf, the "Second Senior Brother".

She remembered her elder brother saying that this guy's engagement to the eldest senior sister had been canceled, and it was her elder brother who personally handled it.

From then on, her last shred of wariness toward Bai Li Chong Tong vanished, and the memory gradually faded.

Just now, upon that glance, aside from feeling familiar, she almost didn't recognize him.

He was still saying, "If you can refine the Soul‑Transforming Pill, I am willing to do anything for the Young Emperor Shen."

Shen Qingli almost felt dazed again; years ago, he had once said similar words in front of her.

"Eldest Senior Sister, if you can get Master Duan to forge a sword for me, this junior brother is willing to do anything for the eldest senior sister."

At that time, the fifteen‑year‑old Shen Qingli, the sect's eldest senior sister, accepted this request from the junior brother without hesitation.

To have Master Duan forge a life‑bound sword suitable for Bai Li Chong Tong, she went from the mountain's foot, kowtowing all the way to the summit where Master Duan's sword workshop stood.

She took out her sincere heart and, with earnest pleading, obtained Bai Li Chong Tong's life‑bound sword.

Bai Li Chong Tong used this sword to stab her!

Back then, he should have said, "This junior brother is willing to do anything for the junior sister."

Su Chacha certainly has a habit of inverting black and white, she herself certainly suffers from being able only to act and not speak, but Bai Li Chong Tong, well, is certainly no good thing either.

So, whoever he is.

Shen Qingli withdrew her gaze and gave no response.

At first, the myriad immortals thought she needed time to consider.

But soon they all knew it wasn't that; she simply ignored Bai Chong Luan.

Although this person is not a deity, they are already a Nine‑Grade Upper Immortal! Most importantly——

Bai Chong Luan's power is Heaven‑Heavy Mountain; the venerable of Heaven‑Heavy Mountain is the Heaven‑Heavy God King, Bai Chong Luan's father, whose strength is also formidable.

"Cough," the Grand Elder even remarked, "Is the Soul‑Transforming Pill being sought for the Heaven‑Heavy God King?"

"Not bad." The embarrassed Bai Chong Luan rose, feeling grateful, and bowed to the Grand Elder, "Exactly, it's for my father."

"If you can wait, I can later refine pills for the God King." The Grand Elder is also an alchemist, and a designated supplier for the Dao Palace, so the Queen Mother of the West appointed him as examiner, which is why he possesses the Thick Earth Cauldron, such a divine alchemical cauldron.

"Then many thanks, Old Lord." Bai Chong Luan bowed again.

Liu Rusong just said, "I'm afraid some people can't refine it, yet they pretend not to deal with others, truly putting on an act!"

"Get out!" These words were not spoken by Shen Qingli, but by Jin Wu.

Just now, Shen Qingli's successive remarks, speaking for Zhong Minglan and the Vermilion Bird Divine Palace, were to Jin Wu like a thunderclap!

These years, because Zhong Minglan acts decisively, he has constantly played the role of peacemaker, thus most of the time suppressing his own fiery nature.

As the Sun God!

Born from the pure yang blazing flame, the three‑legged Jin Wu was originally no benevolent "bird".

Before serving Zhong Minglan, he was also a hegemon of the Shen Ting!

After so many years, he almost forgot……

His nature.

He forgot, and naturally others forgot even more!

It seemed as if Jin Wu had become an old steward following Empress Zhong.

Actually, not.

He is not a steward.

He is a super fierce lieutenant!

At this moment, his gaze fixed on Liu Rusong was blazing like the scorching sun, searing Liu Rusong!

The Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"Throw him out."

The Tai Jin Emperor has already issued the order.

The Dao Palace is huge, full of all sorts of trash.

Haven't you seen the Queen Mother of the West being rendered speechless by the Young Emperor Shen's retort?

That Lou Guanxue is about to play herself to pieces, yet Liu Rusong still rushes forward?

Lou Guanxue is at least a relatively precious alchemist, what are you, Liu Rusong? You even dare to challenge the Young Emperor Shen.

"I," Liu Rusong was still arguing, "I merely said a word; can't we even discuss it?"

Bai Chong Luan hesitated a moment, then spoke, "Tai Jin Emperor, isn't this unnecessary?"

"You also want to be thrown out?" Jin Wu looked at him, "What are you, to demand our Young Emperor refine pills for you? Ignoring you is the norm!"

I see, not just the Dao Palace! Many throughout the Shen Ting have forgotten! How should we honor the War God who protects and guards our present peace? In that battle, my Vermilion Bird Palace lost a hundred thousand soldiers! That is souls and spirits scattered, never to be reborn!

Now, although the Vermilion Bird Palace remains the Shen Ting's first combat unit, its strength has actually been cut by at least half compared to its peak!

The combined casualties of the other three palaces are only half of those of the Vermilion Bird Palace!

In the Shen Ting's total war losses, the Vermilion Bird Palace accounts for half.

And the Vermilion Bird Palace's achievements almost crush the entire Shen Ting!

Of course, the Dao Lord is the key to determining the ultimate battlefield.

Besides that, all other factions before the Vermilion Bird Palace are just weaklings!

The Queen Mother of the West herself is strong, but the Dao Palace's troops lack the unity of the Vermilion Bird Palace's troops!

Therefore, Jin Wu's words left no one able to refute; all fell silent.

Liu Rousong was directly kicked out of the main hall……

Bai Chong Luan's face was grim, but he had no choice but to apologize, "Sorry, I was rude as a junior."

The Queen Mother of the West finally spoke again, "No matter the outcome of today's pill-duel, the Vermilion Bird Palace's merits in blood battle for Shen Ting are indelible. No one, no matter which faction, should chill the hearts of heroes."

Both are war marshals.

The Queen Mother of the West actually also greatly admires the Vermilion Bird Palace's fighting spirit.

But she also indeed does not much like the Bell Empress's habit of disregarding rules, and her daughter is the same!

"We will faithfully follow the Mother's teachings," all the divinities exclaimed in unison.

Jin Wu was satisfied, indeed— for some people you just can't give them face! Otherwise they get used to stepping on your nose to climb onto your face!

"Alright, discussing pill techniques is fine, but do not launch yin-yang weird attacks on anyone," the Queen Mother of the West said again.

Everyone also knows the reason Liu Rousong was kicked out: it wasn't because he doubted Shen Qingli's pill-refining skill, but because he dared to openly yin-yang insult Shen Qingli! If not him, who else should be punished? What a fool.

This little interlude is over……

Seeing that Shen Qingli had already begun selecting the basic immortal herbs provided by Shen Ting,

The Grand Supreme Elder still added a remark, "Young Emperor Shen, actually the Soul-Transforming Pill is not only needed by the Heaven-Heavy God King; many gods who have not yet returned to their positions also need it.

Moreover, the Soul-Transforming Pill actually has two grades: the lower grade only needs immortal herbs or ordinary divine medicines as ingredients, but it is effective only for ordinary deities.

The higher grade requires top-tier divine medicines as ingredients, such as Nine-Revolution Divine Lingzhi or Yin-Yang Twin Fish, and is also effective for primordial deities, especially those whose divine bodies have suffered severe damage. The Spirit-Nourishing Pill you previously gave to Lady of the Thick Earth was actually a higher-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pill."

"Higher-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pill!?"

"She has one!?"

All the divinities present were no longer calm!

And this is also the effect the Grand Supreme Elder wanted to achieve.

Regardless of whether Shen Qingli can refine higher-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pills, she has a whole bunch! That alone is enough to give her a considerable "status" in Shen Ting.

Nowadays, higher-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pills are scarce top-tier elixirs!

"Quiet down." The Queen Mother of the West's voice suppressed the scene that was about to explode.

Everyone present, who doesn't need Spirit-Nourishing Pills? Almost everyone does.

Although not all who need it are primordial deities, if one has higher-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pills, who would want to use the lower grade?

"Mother, if Young Emperor Shen truly has higher-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pills, could you spare one to sell to me of Mount Tianzhong?" Bai Chong Luan thought, "Without Soul-Transforming Pills, higher-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pills will do as a substitute!"

However, Shen Qingli refused, "I won't give it to you."

Bai Chong Luan: "... Young Emperor Shen, I am willing to apologize for my previous offense."

"Even if you kowtow until your head breaks, I won't give it to you; you make me annoyed." Shen Qingli cut off Bai Chong Luan's path, "Whoever in the future obtains medicine from me and gives it to Mount Tianzhong should never come back to me for medicine."

That's how absolute she is!

After Shen Qingli finished speaking, she even directly showed off!

It's not really showing off; her pill-refining technique is inherently splendid.

The Divine Palm Technique of the old ancestor of the Medicine God Valley from long ago can no longer satisfy Shen Qingli's current needs.

Over these years of spatial pill-refining, she has summarized and created her own set of palm techniques for pill-refining.

Vermilion Bird divine fire trickled out from her fingertips, winding toward the immortal herbs she had selected, from root to tip, divine power stimulating and bursting forth!

The Grand Supreme Elder widened his dim old eyes, "Is this—using divine fire to first stimulate the medicinal power of the immortal herbs to the extreme, ensuring the power can be absolutely extracted?"

He has seen similar skill before.

In the hands of the Kunlun God Lord!

This isn't over……

"Nine, Nine-Revolution Divine Lingzhi?"

"New, fresh!"

But the scene also exploded! Because——
