Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 76 Fire Dragon Grass

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Fire Dragon Grass

"In ten years, I will definitely enter the Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm, and by then, no matter heaven or earth, I will make my way in for you!" Shi Feng said seriously.

Yuel Wushuang looked at Shi Feng’s earnest and handsome face, listening to his words, and was suddenly touched by them. She seemed to see, years later, a towering figure, with hair billowing in the wind, majestic and imposing, with one man and one sword, transcending heaven and earth, slaughtering in all directions, staining half the sky red with blood.

When Yuel Wushuang snapped back to reality, she saw the young and handsome face again, smiled gently, and shook her head slightly before speaking to Shi Feng, "Then, your senior sister will wait for you to reach the peak of Martial Emperor Realm and bask in the glory of my little junior brother. At that time, you can’t ignore your senior sister, okay?"

Somehow, upon hearing Shi Feng’s promise, even though Yuel Wushuang knew the promise was illusory and unrealistic—not many out of the countless martial artists in the Tianheng Continent could achieve the peak of Martial Emperor—her mood still improved a lot.

Shi Feng, of course, knew that Yuel Wushuang didn’t take his words to heart, and he didn’t say much more, but since he had made a promise to her, he intended to fulfill it.

The two of them, riding their demon wolves, started searching for the Fire Dragon Grass in the forest shrouded with green fog.

"Little junior brother, when we find the Fire Dragon Grass, I will tell you a secret," Yuel Wushuang said after a moment of silence.

"Oh? What secret?" Shi Feng asked curiously.

"I said, I’ll tell you when we find it. You’ll know then," Yuel Wushuang said with a mysterious smile.

"Wait, there’s movement." Suddenly, Shi Feng faintly heard some indistinct voices, "Several people in that direction." After listening for a while, Shi Feng determined.

The two of them had split with the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group to search in three different directions, so the faint voices coming from ahead were unlikely to be members of the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group.

"Let’s go and see," Yuel Wushuang whispered.

Shi Feng nodded, and the two dismounted from the wolves seamlessly and proceeded quietly toward the direction of the voices, which grew clearer as they approached.

"Hahaha, Brother Fengg is truly a Fourth-stage Technique Refining Master; your mastery of the Soul Attack Technique is unfathomable, making it impossible to defend against."

"Brother Fengg’s mastery of the Path of Spells is unparalleled, truly deserving the title of the number one Alchemy Master within the boundaries of Yunlai Empire."

"Hehe, you flatter me too much. I don’t dare claim the title of number one Alchemy Master. I’ve heard that Qin Huaiqing from the Imperial City has been lingering at the Fourth-stage Peak for decades and has recently begun seclusion to break through to the Fifth Level of Path of Spells."

"Ai, how can that stubborn old Qin Huaiqing be compared with Brother Fengg? Brother Fengg reached the Fourth Level of Path of Spells at thirty, whereas Qin Huaiqing only did so at fifty, a full twenty years later. He’s only ahead because he’s lived a bit longer. Now at seventy, he’s still lingering in the Fourth Stage. With Brother Fengg’s talent for the Path of Spells, by the time Brother Fengg reaches his age, probably no one in the entire Eastern Domain will be able to compete with you."

Shi Feng and Yuel Wushuang quietly approached and hid behind a bush. With Shi Feng’s movement technique, avoiding the senses of these people was as easy as pie.

However, Shi Feng also noticed that Yuel Wushuang had mastered a mysterious secret technique capable of concealing one’s aura. With this technique in effect, unless one used their eyes to see, even Shi Feng couldn’t sense her presence right beside him.

Seeing Shi Feng looking at her, Yuel Wushuang flashed him a smile as if to show off the magic of her secret technique.

That spared Shi Feng the worry he had for her, and the two tacitly turned their gaze forward.

Through the underbrush, about ten meters away, they saw three middle-aged men, all of similar age—around thirty-seven or thirty-eight. One wore blue garments, looking gentle and scholarly with his hands crossed over his chest, holding a long sword sheathed by his bosom. Another was clad in a golden Python Dragon Robe, his brow revealing an aristocratic air, clearly a man of no ordinary status.

There was also one dressed in a white robe, wearing a look of arrogance. From the badge on his right shoulder and the robe on his body, Shi Feng discerned his identity—a Skywind Sect Alchemy Master!

This man’s attire and badge were almost the same as those of Ming’an, the Skywind Sect Alchemy Master Shi Feng had slain previously, though there were some minor differences.

And before these three men, they were currently surrounding a herb that looked like a flame, over a foot tall, and entirely red as if a dragon-shaped flame was burning. It was the Fire Dragon Grass that Yuel Wushuang had come to the Demon Beast Mountain Range to search for.

"It’s really a small world!" Shi Feng communicated to Yuel Wushuang with his Soul Power.

"What? You know them?" Yuel Wushuang asked.

"Just some grudge with one of their sects," Shi Feng said.

"What do we do now? They’ve found the Fire Dragon Grass?" Unconsciously, Yuel Wushuang saw Shi Feng as the leader of this group, nearly forgetting she was the initiator of this medicinal herb quest.

"Wait, let’s not hurry," Shi Feng said.

"Who would have thought, on our trip to the mountains, we would actually find Fifth Grade Imperial Level Fire Dragon Grass," the Skywind Sect Alchemy Master said gleefully, looking at the Fire Dragon Grass next to him.

"This is probably Heaven worrying that our journey is too boring, wanting Brother Fengg to display his unmatched technique," the middle-aged man in the golden Python Dragon Robe chuckled.

"The medicinal properties of this Fire Dragon Grass will be strongest at dusk. For now, we need to wait a few more hours. Although the herb is Fifth Grade and appears fierce, it actually has a mild nature. I happen to have a few matching Spiritual Medicines on me, so it’s barely possible to refine it.

"When the time comes, I’ll refine this Fire Dragon Grass right here. If nothing goes wrong, I can produce three Initial Stage Fifth Grade Fire Dragon Pills, just enough to help enhance the cultivation level of my two brothers."

"Oh! Brother Fengg can actually refine Fifth Grade Pills at the Fourth-stage King Realm; truly worthy of being Yunlai Empire’s number one Technique Refining Genius. Following Brother Fengg, we really are fortunate," said the middle-aged man wearing blue garments, who looked gentle and scholarly.

That’s how it is with refiners, even if they are Martial King Realm powerhouses, no matter how dignified their status or how vast their power, upon meeting a Fourth-stage King Realm Alchemy Master, they are all full of compliments, trying all means to gain the refiner’s favor.

What’s more, in the entire Yunlai Empire, there are only two Fourth-stage Alchemy Masters, and one of them was this man from the Skywind Sect right beside them. It was likely that even Martial King Powerhouses would act the same upon meeting him.

"Those three men, one a Three-star Martial King, one a Four-star Martial King, and one Fourth-stage Technique Refining Master. In that case, once this man surnamed Fengg starts refining the Fire Dragon Grass, halfway through, you’ll cast the Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal on him, shaking his soul, causing him to fall into demon entry, leaving the other two to me," Shi Feng conveyed his thoughts again to Yuel Wushuang.

"Okay, I’ll listen to you," Yuel Wushuang replied.

Refiners are most taboo against disturbance while refining, not to mention that what is being cast is the Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal. At the very least, it would damage his soul, at worst, induce demon entry, and in the extreme, directly scatter his soul.

Time ticked away second by second, with the three men beginning their wait, and the two on Shi Feng’s side doing the same.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the Fire Dragon Grass burned even more vividly red and vigorous.

"It’s time," the Skywind Sect Alchemy Master suddenly said.
