Chapter 798: Chapter 799: Borrowing Medicine! (2nd Update)

Inside the dark cave, the sound of stalactite drips echoed, "滴滴哒哒."

Lee Qingling scrutinized Lin Canglang, a flicker of hesitation passing through his eyes.

"Rest assured, I have no ill intentions towards you. Our cooperation can better achieve what we both desire! Of course, if you don’t wish to cooperate with me, you may leave now, and I won’t stop you."

Lin Canglang spoke indifferently, "This is no longer the Western Wasteland, but deep within a mountain in the Southern Border. Now that you’ve obtained the Blood Essence, you have no immediate need to refine a Blood Spirit Corpse, right?"

Lee Qingling looked curiously at Lin Canglang, as if this man knew everything, or perhaps it was the mysterious person behind him who knew everything.

Though this feeling greatly displeased him, there was one thing Lin Canglang was right about: The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

"Alright!" Lee Qingling nodded slightly, "Since Brother Lin saved my life and gifted me the Blood Essence, from this day forth, we are allies!"

Lin Canglang’s lips curled into a smile, as if he always knew Lee Qingling would agree, saying indifferently, "With our combined forces, secretly recruiting soldiers, we can expand the influence of the Blood God Sect continuously! From now on, you are still the Sect Hierarch of the Blood God Sect. In the future, we will control the Empire’s great powers together and share the world!"

"Ambitious!"

A glint flashed in Lee Qingling’s eyes. Though both harbored personal motives, for now, the alliance of these two demons was indeed the best choice.

...

In the faraway Western Wilderness, Ling Feng was naturally unaware that these two arch-enemies had formed an alliance. However, in the short term, with the Despicable Donkey protecting him and his current reputation in the Sky White Empire, it was still early for Lin Canglang and Lee Qingling to target him.

Moreover, the incident with the Blood God Sect had also attracted the Empire’s higher-ups’ attention, so in a short period, there shouldn’t be another large-scale Blood Spirit Corpse outbreak.

After Ling Feng and his companions reunited with Goo Tengfeng and others who came to support them, they rested near an oasis for a while before everyone returned.

This trip initially brought three thousand soldiers, but no Spiritual Medicine was collected, leading to the total annihilation of the army. General Sun Gongming bore most of the responsibility, though he lost an arm himself, which left his future prospects in martial advancement or career quite uncertain.

"Brother Ling, I truly... regret it!"

After returning to the barracks, Sun Gongming remained silent for a long time before he sighed deeply, expressing a despondent look.

"That Lee Qingling was deceitful on purpose and also used the antidote as bait. The fact that the General was deceived can only be blamed on the man’s craftiness."

Ling Feng touched his nose lightly and said indifferently, "General need not worry too much. Although we didn’t gather any Spiritual Medicine this time, I too have developed an antidote for the Blood God Sect’s curse, and my method is simpler than an Elixir with no need for extensive resource consumption."

"Is this true?" Sun Gongming’s eyelids twitched. If the Blood Spirit Corpse calamity could be resolved quickly, it would indeed be a blessing amidst misfortune.

"Hmm." Ling Feng nodded slightly, "Although Lee Qingling’s antidote had tricks to it, the Moon Shadow Fragrance he used is indeed the key to countering the Blood God Sect. This kind of Spiritual Medicine is not overly rare, and the Sky Alliance Commerce should have a large stockpile."

Sun Gongming’s expression changed slightly, "Even so, purchasing such a large quantity of Spiritual Medicine naturally requires considerable financial resources. This General will report to the court, waiting for the court’s funds, which may take quite some time. Although this General is willing to advance the funds..."

Sun Gongming laughed bitterly, "Just with my financial strength, even if I go bankrupt, I fear that..."

Ling Feng pursed his lips; Sun Gongming, being a general of his stature, might be able to cover it, but as he said, it would likely ruin him financially.

"No worries, I have a plan."

Ling Feng took out a Token given by Fung Wuheng, the Supreme Elder of Sky Alliance Commerce, from his Spirit Storage Ring and said indifferently, "General Sun, this is a Token from Sky Alliance Commerce. You can have someone go to Sky Alliance Commerce and borrow about fifty thousand pounds of Moon Shadow Fragrance. I believe, with this Token, paying back the funds a year or two later won’t be a big deal."

Sun Gongming accepted the Token, and upon closer inspection, was immediately taken aback, "Sky... Sky Alliance Supreme Elder Token?"

Ling Feng pursed his lips, not paying much attention as he said, "An old friend gave it to me; just use it for emergency purposes."

Sun Gongming couldn’t help but swallow hard, holding the Token with his left hand, his heart churning with waves of emotion.

What is the background of this young man, that even the Supreme Elder of Sky Alliance would hand his Token directly to him?

After a while, Sun Gongming managed to calm down a bit and nodded heavily, "Young Master Ling, on behalf of the soldiers and the citizens of various cities, I thank the hero!"

With that, he bent his knees, about to kneel.

Ling Feng hurriedly supported Sun Gongming, saying indifferently, "General Sun, the most important thing now is to transport the Moon Shadow Fragrance back. Besides that, General, select brothers skilled in the Fire Element and Wind Element from the army. Once the herbs are brought back, it’ll be up to them."

"This... alright!"

Though Sun Gongming didn’t know what Ling Feng had in mind, he no longer doubted him and immediately ordered Vice General Huang to lead a team to the Sky Alliance Commerce in Xiling City to borrow the medicine.

In fact, Ling Feng could directly use his status as the Chief Honored Elder of the Alchemy Master Guild to requisition materials from the guild’s stockpile, with absolutely no charge from the guild. However, his relations with the Northwest Army weren’t to the point of giving such a huge favor away for free; Ling Feng wasn’t foolish.

After all, extracting so many materials at once, once he returned to the Imperial City, those stingy old fellows from the Alchemy Master Guild would likely pay him a visit.

"General Sun, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to rest first. Once the Spiritual Medicine is borrowed and back, please send someone to call me."

Ling Feng bowed to Sun Gongming, and then Goo Tengfeng and the others also took their leave, exiting Sun Gongming’s tent.

Upon leaving the tent, Jiang Xiaofan tilted his head curiously and asked, "Big brother, why did you ask General Sun to gather so many soldiers skilled in Fire and Wind Elements?"

Ling Feng chuckled softly, a smile tugging at his lips, "You’ll find out then."

Goo Tengfeng laughed heartily, patting Jiang Xiaofan on the shoulder as he said brightly, "Alright, Xiao Fan, when has Ling Feng ever let us down? This time, we successfully resolved the Blood God Sect’s calamity; both the Northwest Military and the Academy will surely reward us, and we should be able to exchange for some great items to boost our cultivation."

Everyone shared a knowing smile, the rewards for this elder mission were bound to be unimaginably generous.

Then, the team exchanged pleasantries before returning to their camps.

Upon returning to his own tent, the Despicable Donkey could no longer hold back, approaching with a beaming face, chuckling, "Ling Feng, hurry and bring out that Blood Essence!"

Ling Feng shook his head, casually setting up a sound insulation barrier, then took out the red eye that the Despicable Donkey referred to as the Blood Essence.
