Chapter 2217: Tastes So Good That I’m Willing!

Zu An s.h.i.+vered and immediately said with a bow, “I understand, beautiful master!”

Ignoring everything else, even if it was just the late Fiend Emperor or Zhao Han, which one of them hadn't been able to easily crush him? And yet, just because they thought that killing Zu An would be incredibly easy and looked down on him, he had ended up making a comeback. He definitely couldn't walk down their path.

When she saw that he took her words seriously, Mi Li sighed with relief inwardly and smiled. She really did enjoy seeing this respectful side from him. She thought to herself that she find a recording mirror to get all of this down so that she could show him once he returned to how he usually was again.

Yeah, I’m sure that’d be an amazing sight!

Zu An gave her a strange look.

Why is she smiling like a dummy right now?

He couldn't be bothered with such things and walked up to the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine. He saw that it was curved at the stem like a powerful dragon, and its leaves were like dragon claws. The fruit at the very top was like a dragon head. There was a hazy light coming from its entire body. Now that he was closer, the medicinal fragrance became even stronger, stronger than anything he had ever smelled before. Even though it was strong, however, it wasn’t repulsive at all. On the contrary, there was a refres.h.i.+ng feeling to it. It was almost as if his cultivation was improving just by breathing in the scent.

Zu An had seen all kinds of incredibly precious things. The only thing that could compare to this even in the slightest would be the Feather Mountain Spring.

He was about to reach out when the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine came to life and darted to the side. Then, it seemed as if it wanted to dig underground.

Zu An was stunned, but he reacted quickly as well, immediately locking down the area. With his current cultivation and the fact that he held the authority of two different worlds, forget about a stalk of immortal medicine, not even a cultivator with the fastest movement skill could escape from his gaze.

Sure enough, the medicine sensed Zu An's terrifying pressure. The Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine trembled all over, and its claw-like leaves reached outward. It cupped those 'claws' in respect and bowed repeatedly, as if it was begging for mercy.

Zu An was stunned. This spiritual medicine actually had its own intelligence! He recalled that the Silverflame Flowertree he had encountered in the Yu clan’s underground mines was a bit similar.

Mi Li said, “This stalk of Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine hasn’t matured, so picking it is a bit too much of a pity. The most powerful beings in the universe always nurture a stalk of immortal medicine near them so they can mutually benefit from each other.”

Zu An frowned. Even though this Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine was precious, compared to Qiu Honglei, it was still just a worldly possession.

Mi Li seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said, “If you want to save Qiu Honglei, you don’t need to use the entire stalk of divine medicine. Make a cut and take some of the juice within, and it should be enough.”

Zu An was surprised. It was rumored that these immortal medicines could enable the strongest in the universe to even live a second life. With Qiu Honglei’s current cultivation, it indeed seemed a bit excessive to use such powerful medicinal strength.

Mi Li said to the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine, “We won’t kill you. Are you willing to acknowledge him as your owner and also offer up some medicine to help him save someone?”

The Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine hurriedly shook its head like a henchman. It was almost as if it felt that if it didn’t bend the knee and sc.r.a.pe to curry favor, it would immediately die. It had lived as it pleased here for so many years, so how could it have known that this great demon would appear out of nowhere, and that it wouldn’t even be able to run away?

As if it was scared that Zu An would straight up eat it, it reached out with its 'claws' and began to squeeze the fruit on its head. Soon after, three drops of golden liquid came out of thet fruit that had yet to mature. Then, it immediately became dispirited, as if it was completely emptied out. Even the fragrance became a bit fainter.

With Zu An’s cultivation, he seized those drops as soon as they came out, not letting them hit the ground. He carefully stored them into a jade container and said, “I’ll give it a try first. If it’s still not enough, I’ll come look for you again.”

When it heard him, that Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine was so scared that its entire body trembled. It almost fled again, but it quickly waved its hands, as if to say this amount would be enough to save that person, that it was definitely enough.

Mi Li said with a smile, “This is the essence of an immortal medicine. Because these drops were extracted, its fruit might take another eon to mature. It should be enough to save Qiu Honglei.”

The Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine nodded in grat.i.tude, practically looking teary-eyed. Zu An and Mi Li were worried that the fruit on its head could just fall straight off from how hard it was shaking its head.

Mi Li then said to Zu An, “Sign an agreement with it now. Cut open your finger and place a drop of your blood essence on its body, and then…”

When it heard that it had to sign an agreement, the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine immediately became unwilling.

Do you know what kind of species I am? I am of the highest bloodline across the endless realms, so what garbage bloodline are you going to use to contaminate me…

But the situation was outside of its control, so it could only endure the humiliation to save its own skin and scheme in secret. Once it fully matured, it would try its best to break free from this guy’s evil clutches.

While it was thinking, Zu An had already released a drop of his blood essence onto its body.

This disgusting and lowly blood… Hm?

The Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine’s head briefly drooped as if it was in pain, but its body immediately straightened.

This is, this is…

Then, its entire body started to rub against Zu An’s leg, as if it wanted more.

It’s so tasty!

Zu An was stunned.

Mi Li said with a chuckle, “Your transcendent apt.i.tude blood essence is also extremely nouris.h.i.+ng for immortal medicines. In the future, if you water this stalk of Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine with your blood essence every so often, you can shorten its period of maturity, and that can also further remove the restraints between the two of you.”

“So that was it. Sigh, stop rubbing against me, it itches…” Zu An was quite amused by the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine too. He couldn't help but gently stroke its body.

The Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine normally rejected anyone getting close to it, but now, it looked as if it enjoyed it a lot and wanted him to stroke it more.

“Since you already signed the agreement, let’s just let it continue to grow here so that the endless draconic energy of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons can continue to nourish it. One day, once you learn how to refine your own paradise dwelling, you can take these dragon veins inside. You can then bring it with you wherever you go,” Mi Li said.

Zu An had seen Jing Teng’s paradise dwelling, which was also the jade pendant he wore. It was indeed extremely convenient. But to take the entire Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons in… Just what kind of concept was that? It really was beyond his wildest imaginations.

He could only let the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine continue to grow here. There was already a formation in place that prevented anyone he didn’t permit to approach. Anyone who did would be blasted into ashes by the power of the source of the world.

Just then, he looked at the creatures that were kneeling on the ground. He said seriously, “Continue guarding this place. After a hundred years, I will let all of you immediately reincarnate on the upper three paths. Whether you wish to continue being of the Dragon race or become humans, or any other race, you will be permitted to.”

These were all creatures who had been willing to sacrifice themselves to become these monsters and guard this place, so he felt a lot of respect for them. That was why he wanted to help them as much as possible. Now that he was the underworld emperor, he naturally had that ability.

Even though the creatures had lost their original wills, they still carried some instincts. When they heard that, they all moved excitedly. After all, they had actually been cursed to forever guard this place. Even if they died, they wouldn’t be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Even though they were all willing in the past, after so many years, they had also experienced endless suffering. Now that this person was granting them hope for release, they were all incredibly moved. It was just a hundred years! For creatures like them, it wasn’t that long at all.

The reanimated creatures all bowed respectfully to Zu An, and then returned to the stone pillars they were standing on. Then, one by one, they became stone statues once again to silently guard this place.

After taking care of all the creatures, Zu An took Mi Li and Shang Liuyu into the paradise dwelling within the jade pendant.
