Chapter 559: Chapter 355: Potion_2

"I’m well aware of that."

Some things are indeed subconscious, just like when Lou Ji first sensed her spirit vision.

It was just the pressure of the energy mechanism, and it almost killed him on the spot, and this was with Lou Ji deliberately protecting him.

If it had been anyone else of Lou Ji’s level, a single glare could have ended their life directly.

Lou Ji had given him a warning.

"Don’t stupidly use your spirit vision to probe some important figures you encounter in the future, or you’ll die in a very absurd way."

Although spirit vision is useful, it is not omnipotent.

"It’s good that you know."

Lou Ji chuckled behind her veil, her fair arms gracefully picking up the porcelain cup, sipping the light purple tea with leisure, "Hmm... Changtian, this Dragon Saliva Tea is quite good."

Plop.

A small box engraved with a strange beast was taken out by Xu Yuan from the Sumeru Ring and placed on the tea table.

Lou Ji glanced at it and chuckled softly, "Since when have you been so generous, Changtian?"

Dragon Saliva Tea nourishes the will-spirit and is priceless.

At her words, Xu Yuan responded somewhat irritably, "When have I ever been stingy with you?"

Lou Ji giggled, swaying slightly as she put away the box containing the tribute tea, and instructed in a low voice, "I know Changtian is good to your sister, but you should try to accept less of these things in the future. The Prefect of Guangyang Prefecture has self-awareness, it’s okay, but for others without it, if you accept, they might think they have made a connection through you."

Xu Yuan shrugged indifferently, "It doesn’t matter, I’m just a wastrel."

After a pause, Xu Yuan then asked in a low voice, "Sister, what are you investigating in Wanyao Valley this time?"

Lou Ji smiled, "What, do you want to join your sister on this trip, Changtian?"

"No, thanks. I’d rather not go."

Xu Yuan refused directly.

He just wanted to go back to the Imperial Capital and steadily cultivate his abilities to the Integration Body stage.

It might be because of the root advantages given by his postnatal Innate Taoist Body, or benefits from earlier ghostification, but he was vaguely sensing himself being a step closer to that barrier.

Lou Ji chuckled, "With your cultivation level, sister wouldn’t take you even if you wanted."

At her words, Xu Yuan’s eyes slightly condensed, "Is this trip dangerous?"

"For you, it certainly is dangerous."

Lou Ji chuckled softly as she slowly stood up from the cushion and walked towards the window framing the misty rain, her snake-like eyes flashing coldly, "Those from Wanyao Valley claim to be healers, but they’re more like carrion-eating vultures. Where there is plague, war, death, they will sniff out the scent and rush over."

Xu Yuan watched her figure outlined by the cheongsam, slightly hesitating, then asked in a low voice, "Is it because of that testing ground with thousands of subjects?"

Lou Ji glanced sideways, giving him a look, "Rest assured, the matter you entrusted to your sister is under investigation, but for now, there is no news of that thousand subjects den you mentioned."

Xu Yuan fell silent.

The Thousand Subject Testing Grounds in Wanyao Valley was a hellish dungeon in Cang Yuan.

The hellish aspect referred not to the difficulty, but to its content.

Even the 2.5D pixel style looked revolting, and in reality, it would probably be an even greater challenge to one’s endurance for the macabre.

Lou Ji had a keen sense, her eyes narrowed slightly, her voice slow, "Regarding that thousand subjects den, it seems there are some things you haven’t fully disclosed to your sister, Changtian?"

Xu Yuan shook his head, not answering, and turned to ask, "If it’s not about the den, then is it related to the Northern Frontier battle?"

"Of course."

Lou Ji turned to lean against the window, her eyes deep, "Nowadays, the matters of the Northern Frontier have become the convergence point of the world’s whirlpool. If it wasn’t for the war, why would your sister personally go there?"

Xu Yuan recalled his memories of Wanyao Valley and spoke in a low voice, "Sister, I remember that Wanyao Valley has always positioned itself as a mere war merchant, selling herbs, ammunition, and providing treatment for the wounded."

Lou Ji shook her head, and as the wind and rain blew in through the window, messing up her black hair, she suddenly said, "Yuan Hao has slaughtered Tianqiong Palace."

After a moment, she added, "Not a single survivor."

"....."

Xu Yuan was taken aback at her words.

He had heard about this when he returned to Northern Border City, as the Northern Border Colonel reported the recent situation of the Northern Frontier to Li Qingyan.

Tianqiong Palace and the Seven Azure Sects, one sect for the Black Scale Army and one for the Northern Border Army.

But Xu Yuan remembered that the Colonel had used the word "annihilated," not "slaughtered," and certainly not without leaving a single survivor.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he spoke in a low voice, "Slaughtered? Wasn’t the commander in charge of Tianqiong Palace Mr. Zong?"

It wouldn’t surprise Xu Yuan to hear about Yuan Hao’s slaughtering act, but the issue was that while Yuan Hao was exceptionally capable, under Zong Qingsheng’s cultivation and seniority, he could only serve as a general.

And with a cold-blooded traditional military leader like Zong Qingsheng overseeing him, he likely wouldn’t have allowed Yuan Hao to engage in such an insane act.

At this point, Xu Yuan added in a low voice, "So, Yuan Hao slaughtered because Tianqiong Palace put up a stubborn resistance?"

Lou Ji gave an ambiguous smile, "Yes."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s expression started to become strange.

Although he had experienced the never-crying-until-seeing-the-coffin attitude of the sects, the Myriad Manifestation Sect had at least immediately cowered when the blade reached their necks.

However, considering Wanyao Valley...

Xu Yuan’s eyes showed a trace of coldness as he asked,
