Chapter Thirty-Nine: Acacia Spirit Liquid

"Well said."

At this moment, a handsome young man walked out of the immortal cave.

"Your Highness, the Holy Son, you have emerged."

Hong Qintao immediately beamed with joy as she greeted him, asking ingratiatingly, "Your Highness, are you satisfied with these disciples?"

"They are decent enough."

Su Yu replied indifferently, "It's just that their cultivation realms are too low; they can't boost my cultivation much at all. I see your realm is quite good; you'll be next time."

"Me?"

Hong Qintao was slightly stunned.

Her cultivation had already reached the late Nascent Soul stage, but it was the result of accumulating power over several centuries, having absorbed who knows how many talented young men to attain her present level.

Yet Su Yu wanted to harvest her cultivation.

However, thinking of Su Yu's prestigious identity, she smiled and said, "As long as Your Highness lets me join the Sacred Land, I am naturally more than willing to accompany you."

"That goes without saying," Su Yu said.

Inwardly, however, he scoffed at Hong Qintao's naivety.

He would never let his master find out that he elevated his cultivation through dual cultivation, so he could never possibly bring a woman from the Hehuan Sect back to the Sacred Land.

Once he finished using these women, he would simply wipe out the Hehuan Sect entirely.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Hong Qintao's face lit up with joy as she already began fantasizing about entering the Lingxiao Sacred Land.

"You mentioned the XuanDan Sect just now. What is this? Are you very familiar with them?" Su Yu inquired, remembering that Chen Xuan seemed to be the sect master of the XuanDan Sect.

"The XuanDan Sect?"

Hong Qintao explained, "The XuanDan Sect was in decline before, but recently they rose to prominence again by relying on an immortal's treasure trove. Originally, we planned to seek refuge under the XuanDan Sect, but now that we have the Holy Son, we will naturally pledge our loyalty to Your Highness instead."

Hong Qintao charmingly hooked her arm around Su Yu's.

"Just as I thought."

Su Yu's eyes lit up. "I have a task for you."

"Please give your orders, Holy Son."

"Send someone to seduce the XuanDan Sect Master, and then take the opportunity to eliminate him. Once the deed is done, I will immediately take you back to the Sacred Land," Su Yu commanded.

"Eliminate Chen Xuan?!"

Sister Yao was deeply shocked and hurriedly intervened, "Sect Master, Chen Xuan has already reached the Soul Formation stage. Furthermore, when I previously offered myself to him proactively, he refused. It is impossible for us to seduce him."

"Impossible?"

Hong Qintao curled her lip. "In this world, there is no man who isn't fond of beauty. The only reason Chen Xuan rejected you is simply because you are already a withered flower and a trampled willow."

"Besides, I've heard that he has something going on with his disciple."

"His disciple?"

Su Yu thought of Chu Lingyun. No wonder she obeyed Chen Xuan so completely that day; it turned out the two of them were intimately involved. He asked again, "Do you have a way?"

"Since Chen Xuan doesn't like damaged goods, we'll just find him a pristine body of pure maidenhood."

Hong Qintao said to Sister Yao, "Go, call Ruyan here."

"Sect Master,"

Sister Yao still wanted to persuade otherwise.

"Hmph, if you won't go, I'll have someone else do it," Hong Qintao instructed another disciple.

Shortly after, a woman dressed in red with naturally fox-like, alluring eyes walked over.

"Sect Master, Elder."

Ruyan bowed in greeting.

"To think there is such a great beauty!" Upon laying eyes on Ruyan's appearance, Su Yu felt a sudden surge of restlessness in his heart, an urge to pounce and pin her down.

He had seen many saintesses from various sacred lands, but he had never experienced such a sensation before.

This showed just how bewitching Ruyan truly was.

"A truly natural enchanting constitution."

Su Yu clicked his tongue in praise and glared at Hong Qintao. "With such a beauty around, you didn't even tell me!"

"Holy Son, it's not that I wanted to keep it a secret,"

Hong Qintao protested aggrievedly, "You only said you wanted to raise your cultivation realm, so naturally I looked for those with higher cultivation. As for Ruyan, she only joined the Sacred Land recently, and her realm is still at the Qi Condensation stage, which is why I didn't bring her to you."

Appraising Ruyan,

Su Yu's eyes were filled with a strong sense of possessiveness.

Yet, remembering that she was needed to deal with Chen Xuan, he temporarily suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Women were dime a dozen.

By comparison, the immortal's treasure trove was far more important.

Once he obtained the immortal's treasure trove and his cultivation soared, he would have the chance to win over his master.

His master was far more beautiful than Ruyan.

"In that case, use her to seduce Chen Xuan."

Su Yu said, "However, Chen Xuan possesses formidable strength. Are you certain she can control him?"

"Rest assured, Holy Son, we have this."

Hong Qintao let out a soft laugh and produced a small red medicinal vial.

"What is this?"

Su Yu asked curiously.

"This is the Hehuan Spiritual Liquid, a supreme treasure left behind by the founding ancestor of our Hehuan Sect."

Hong Qintao introduced, "This spiritual liquid is refined from the exotic Lustful Passion Flower. Its scent is indistinguishable from ordinary floral dew, but the moment it is applied to the body, it takes effect. Once an opposite sex smells it, unless they take the antidote or consummate with someone possessing the Ice-Vein Holy Constitution, they will burn to death from overwhelming lust. Even a cultivator at the Immortal Ascension realm cannot resist it."

"Such a miraculous poison exists!"

Su Yu marveled. If he applied this to his own body, wouldn't even his master be unable to resist him? "Are there any more of this medicine?"

"The Lustful Passion Flower has gone extinct, so it is no longer possible to refine this medicine. Right now, this is the only bottle left in the entire Hehuan Sect," Hong Qintao shook her head.

Su Yu felt a trace of disappointment.

He had originally wanted to test the effects of this medicine.

If it were truly that miraculous, he would use it on his own master.

As it happened, his master possessed the Ice-Vein Holy Constitution.

However, since there was only this single bottle left, he couldn't be certain if the medicine was truly as miraculous as claimed.

If anything went wrong and his master discovered his actions, he would likely be doomed beyond redemption.

After pondering for a moment,

he ultimately abandoned the idea.

It was still safest to eliminate Chen Xuan first and secure control over the immortal's treasure trove.

"Very well, use it to deal with Chen Xuan."

Su Yu then pointed at Sister Yao and said, "However, lock her up first."

"Lock her up?"

Hong Qintao was momentarily stunned, but she did not refuse. "Someone, escort the Great Elder down to rest."

"You people!"

Sister Yao was dragged away, but she was utterly powerless to resist.

"Report!"

At this moment, a female disciple hurried over.

"What is it?"

Hong Qintao asked.

"Sect Master, the XuanDan Sect Master has arrived, and he is specifically demanding to see Saintess Ruyan," the female disciple reported.

"Chen Xuan has come, and wants to see her? Could it be that he has already guessed our plan?"

Su Yu was startled.

"The Holy Son is worrying too much,"

Hong Qintao chuckled softly. "Chen Xuan previously attempted to violate his adoptive daughter, but was rejected by her. In a fit of anger, he killed his adoptive daughter, and now he is entangled with his disciple. This is proof enough that Chen Xuan is a lecherous scoundrel."

"He must have heard of Ruyan's beauty and specifically come to see her."

"Ruyan,"

Hong Qintao instructed Ruyan, "Apply this bottle of spiritual liquid to your body. Once the task is accomplished, His Highness the Holy Son will personally step in to resolve your family's crisis."

"Understood, Sect Master!"

Ruyan took the Hehuan Spiritual Liquid and departed.

"Holy Son, just sit back and await the good news."
