Immortal of the Nine Realms

Dongfang Haojie’s eyes flickered slightly. ”Oh, you just mentioned they were planning to poison me? I’m from the direct line of the Dragon Blood Family, so I’m immune to all poisons. I’m afraid their scheme will fail.”

Fang Chen smiled and said, ”Nie Tianyuan knows about your unique constitution, and that Nascent Soul Realm cultivator knows about it too, so he personally prepared a poison that can affect you. From what I can tell, the poison the Nascent Soul Realm expert will be able to kill you.”

The corners of Dongfang Haojie’s mouth lifted slightly. ”Even if it’s prepared by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, let alone a Enlightenment Realm expert, they won’t be able to kill me. None of the descendants of the Dragon Blood Family have ever died from poison! Now that I think about it, they don’t know any details of the Dongfang Family. If they did, they wouldn’t have thought about using poison to kill me.”

”Little Mirror, can the descendants of the Dragon Blood Family not be killed by poison?” Fang Chen inquired inwardly.

”Brother, he’s not bragging. While the descendants of the Dragon Blood Family can succumb to poison, those poisons stand at the very peak level of all poisons in the world. A mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, let alone having them, doesn’t even have the qualifications to learn about them,” Mirror of the Universe responded.

”Well, that’s good to hear.” Fang Chen looked at Dongfang Haojie. ”If they can’t kill you with poison, things will be even easier. With a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Azure Cloud Empire present at that time, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to kill you directly.”

”You shouldn’t reveal any clues during this period, lest they suspect something. If you’re lucky, this matter will end soon,” Fang Chen muttered.

”Oh, by the way, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Purple Pole Dao Academy has a good relationship with the Dongfang Family,” Dongfang Haojie said. ”Once this senior arrives, I’ll explain the situation to her, and all problems will be easily resolved, right?”

”Can you guarantee she’s not a Spirit Blood Sect cultivator?” Fang Chen countered.

”To be honest with you...” Dongfang Haojie hesitated for a moment before speaking, ”This senior is also a descendant of the Dragon Blood Family. She knows that our Dongfang Family is a branch of the Dragon Blood Family. If she were a Spirit Blood Sect cultivator, she wouldn’t try to kill me with poison.”

At this point, Dongfang Haojie paused, a hint of suspicion crossing his face. ”Sir, how did you know they were planning to poison me instead of using other methods?”

Fang Chen chuckled. ”I overheard it.”

”Overheard...” Dongfang Haojie initially wanted to ask further, but then he closed his mouth, realizing something. The other party probably used the same method he used to sneak up on his to secretly eavesdrop on the Spirit Blood Sect cultivator’s plans!

”Nie Tianyuan is coming,” said Fang Chen, frowning.

Glancing at Dongfang Haojie, he said, ”Remember what I said, don’t reveal anything, otherwise not only will you die, but the Azure Cloud Empire will also be doomed.”

With that, Fang Chen disappeared into the shadows as if he was never there.

Nie Tianyuan suddenly pushed the door open and looked at Dongfang Haojie.

Dongfang Haojie’s face showed a hint of dissatisfaction. ”Uncle Nie, why did you come in without knocking?”

Nie Tianyuan smiled. ”I was negligent. By the way, young master, why do you look so pale?”

”The Dongfang Family’s Origin Observation Technique has always been quite taxing,” Dongfang Haojie replied.

Nie Tianyuan nodded slightly as he knew as much. He casually asked, ”Young master, are there any Immortal Origin Stones you’re interested in?”

”The quality of Immortal Origin Stones here isn’t that great. Let’s go check out other places. I think this shop is ripping people off. That Tong Baizhou fella always has a smile on his face, like a smiling tiger. He doesn’t seem like a good person,” Dongfang Haojie said, then left the VIP room.

Nie Tianyuan snorted and followed. ”Hmph, silk pants.”

As Dongfang Haojie just returned to the hall, he heard a cry next to him, followed by an angry scolding. ”Why did you step on this lady’s foot!”

Dongfang Haojie, who was already in a bad mood, looked up. The sight that made met him left him immediately stunned.

”Such stunning beauty....” he murmured.

”Hey, you stepped on my foot, what are you going to do about it?” said Fairy Yu.

The female sword cultivator frowned lightly. ”Junior Sister, let’s go. Don’t bother with such people.”

Dongfang Haojie immediately said, ”Dear fairy, I failed to control my feet and disturbed you. How about I invite you to the Spring Dawn Tower for a meal as an apology? If you don’t forgive me, dear fairy, I’ll chop off this leg of mine as an apology when I get home.”

Fairy Yu eyes revealed a slight smile. She had achieved her goal.

The female sword cultivator and Nie Tianyuan frowned simultaneously.

”Junior Sister...”

”Young master...”

”Alright, then I’ll accept your treat. I heard that the food at the Spring Dawn Tower is quite expensive,” Fairy Yu agreed immediately.

Dongfang Haojie eagerly led the way ahead, trying to please them. Before the female sword cultivator and Nie Tianyuan could react, the two of them had already left the Jade River Pavilion.

”This...”

Nie Tianyuan felt anger rise in his heart. This young master was always causing trouble.

Nie Tianyuan glanced at the female sword cultivator and noticed that her aura was quite ordinary. She only seemed to be in the Foundation Building Realm. He didn’t pay much attention and said casually, ”Since my young master invited you for a meal, please join us.”

The female sword cultivator didn’t even look at him. She merely followed Dongfang Haojie out of the Jade River Pavilion.

a faint smile flickered in Fang Chen’s eyes. With that, Dongfang Haojie had an additional safety measure.

”The Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Purple Extreme Dao Academy... If she’s not from the Spirit Blood Sect, it could serve as an ace in the hole,” Fang Chen thought to himself.

Not long after, Fang Chen returned to his quiet chamber and took out a porcelain bottle.

”Little Mirror, what should we do next?”

”It’s simple, soak the Foundation Building Pill in his blood. In a day, it should be elevated to the saint grade. However, there may be some anomalies that arise during the process, which could lead to trouble if discovered by others,” Little Zhou explained.

Fang Chen smiled. ”That’s easy.”

Due to the trade conference, the imperial family, the Jue Family, the Fang Family, and five other major Families were all busy preparing the venue. Fang Chen found a suitable place in the nearby mountains and set up a large protective array with ready-made spirit materials. He also arranged six auxiliary arrays within it. After completing all of this, he took out the Foundation Building Pill and threw it into the porcelain bottle.

As the Foundation Building Pill was soaked in Dongfang Haojie’s blood, an immediate reaction occurred. The pill was like a lake that had long since dried up finally encountering a sudden downpour as it continuously absorbed everything it could.

”Little Zhou, is it really that simple?” Fang Chen asked while observing the changes in the Foundation Building Pill.

”Some things, when taken to the extreme, return to simplicity, but this is far from simple,” Little Zhou replied. ”If it weren’t for the fact that this old man could obtain the blood of a descendant of the Dragon Blood Family, how could an ordinary Foundation Building Pill be promoted to the saint level? If I hadn’t informed you, how would you know that Dongfang Haojie is a descendant of the Dragon Blood Family?”

”That makes sense,” Fang Chen acknowledged, finding Little Mirror’s words reasonable. Its existence had indeed provided him with great assistance during this period. Even Little Sword owed it a favor.

Fang Chen waited patiently.

Soon, a day had passed.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst out from the porcelain bottle, followed by the bottle exploding into powder.

A reddish-golden pill slowly floated in mid-air.

There were faint dragon-shaped phenomena appearing in the void, wandering around the pill.

If it weren’t for the Green Sky Mountain Protection Grand Formation, the cultivators of Grand Qian would have seen several hundred-foot-long golden dragons appearing in the skies.

”You’re lucky, my friend. That guy’s bloodline is quite pure. This Foundation Building Pill has now reached the second level of the saint grade. If you consume it, you’ll probably have a thirty percent chance of successfully establishing your foundation!”
