Chapter 525: Meng Xuehuan: Little Junior Brother, don't forget about us!
After obtaining the first Grotto-Heaven small world, the following actions became relatively smoother, and the losses were no longer as significant.
After a moment, the second Grotto-Heaven small world was also completely swept clean, followed by the third, fourth... until the tenth Grotto-Heaven small world.
By this time, Qin Muling finally decided to take a break because his luck had dropped to about half of its usual state. Although it still far exceeded what others could imagine, he chose to recover before continuing.
Sneaking into the depths of the underground, releasing the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, and then entering, Meng Ziqing, Meng Xuan, and Yu Xiyuan were anxiously waiting inside. When they saw Qin Muling appear unharmed, their hanging hearts finally relaxed.
"...How are you, Little Junior Brother? Did you encounter any danger?"
Wearing a luxurious crimson palace robe, Meng Ziqing, with her plump and beautiful skin, embraced Qin Muling and asked with concern.
"It's alright, the gains were good. It's just that my lifespan and luck were somewhat depleted, so I need to recover through cultivation..."
Qin Muling briefly described the course of action, and while the women were worried, they were also delighted by his last sentence.
There was nothing that made them happier than cultivating together with Little Junior Brother. It meant that both sides would benefit greatly, and of course, the more times, the better.
"Alright, then let's help Little Junior Brother recover first!"
Meng Ziqing said with a smile, her jade arm embracing Qin Muling, and together with many stunning women of the clan, they surrounded him and entered the inner palace of the sleeping chamber.
Behind layers of exquisite curtains, a faint fragrance filled the air. Meng Ziqing blushed and looked charming, gently untying the jade belt around her waist, and her gorgeous dress slid down her voluptuous and enchanting body, gradually revealing a breathtakingly beautiful scenery that could overturn the world and display infinite grace.
As the final transparent bellyband slipped away, Meng Ziqing, completely naked, seductively walked over with a flirtatious gaze. Her slender and long legs gracefully approached, and her enchanting jade arms embraced Qin Muling, easily igniting the intense flame in his heart.
Emperor Qiu Wu, Shuiyue Buddha, Yu Xiyuan, and the sisters Meng Xuan were all beautiful and charming. They took off their clothes and surrounded Qin Muling, their exquisite bodies pressing against him. The following scenes were too intimate to be described to outsiders.
After several hours, the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore had experienced the passage of time a thousandfold. Qin Muling, who had successfully restored to his peak state, bid farewell to the women and quietly returned to the ground to continue his plundering.
In fact, it didn't take long to empty a Grotto-Heaven small world, at most a few dozen breaths. The key was to infiltrate without triggering any warning mechanisms, which was quite difficult even for the current Qin Muling.
Not long after, fifteen Grotto-Heaven small worlds were emptied by Qin Muling. This time, due to his experience, the consumption was reduced, allowing him to empty five more Grotto-Heaven small worlds.
Qin Muling, who had consumed nearly half of his luck, followed the same procedure and returned to the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore to practice and recover with the sisters Meng Ziqing. After several hours, he would continue his plundering.
With the enormous wealth accumulated by the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty over tens of thousands of years, even though the resource consumption in recent years had been extravagant, the scale of this rarely used strategic resource reserve still far exceeded the imagination of others.
According to Qin Muling's preliminary exploration, there were still hundreds of similar Grotto-Heaven small worlds. Of course, some of these Grotto-Heaven small worlds were empty and actually contained malicious traps set up by the royal elders, but this couldn't deceive his divination technique.
As one treasure trove after another fell, numerous Innate Spiritual Treasures, Innate spiritual objects, rare divine materials, Supreme-level Heavenly Medicines, martial arts scriptures, high-grade elixirs, and heavenly merits all entered Qin Muling's spatial storage.
Even the most precious Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures were discovered, seven in total: a zither, a sword, a crossbow, a book, a mirror, a spear, and a pot. Although the Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions contained within them were not particularly numerous, with no more than forty-five layers, they were still treasures capable of suppressing Transcendent Level forces.
Under Qin Muling's secret technique that shielded divination and confused the five elements and yin and yang, the high-level members of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty were completely unaware of the theft of the treasure trove.
Of course, this was also because in the past few years, the top experts of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty had suffered heavy losses, causing a shortage of high-end strategic military power, which prevented them from detecting any clues in time.
Moreover, this rarely used strategic treasure trove was only checked and verified at regular intervals, with long intervals in between, making it easy to go unnoticed. If it were an ordinary warehouse with resources coming in and out every day, it would definitely be discovered.
Under Qin Muling's repeated plundering, nearly half a month had quietly passed. When he finally emptied the last Grotto-Heaven small world, a piercing alarm sounded through the sky.
After such a long time, the royal elders of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty finally sensed that something was wrong. After sending people to investigate, the feedback they received left them horrified.
Hundreds of the most important strategic resource repositories were quietly emptied, not a single copper coin left in all the Grotto-Heaven small worlds!
In the imperial palace's council hall, Emperor Su Mingqian was discussing matters with more than ten trusted ministers, and the elegant and aloof Princess Su Mingyu was also present.
"...Brother, that person is extremely important to our Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty. We must find a way, at any cost, to bring him over!" Princess Su Mingyu said in a low voice, her lips red and her features slightly sharp.
She was naturally referring to Qin Muling. Since their brief encounter, she had been unable to forget about him and constantly thought about him. She even used almost all of Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty's spies within the Mong Clan to try to obtain information related to Qin Muling.
However, the prepared Mong Xuehuan did not allow her to succeed. Through careful planning, she even exposed Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty's secret intelligence network within the Mong Clan, resulting in a complete loss.
But despite suffering a major setback, Princess Su Mingyu was still unwilling to give up. She reported this matter to her brother, Emperor Su Mingqian, hoping to persuade him to continue plotting against Qin Muling.
Emperor Su Mingqian frowned and slowly said, "Who is this person... and how did the Mong Clan manage to obtain him? If he is truly as important as the elders say, then we cannot let him stay with the Mong Clan. We must take action as soon as possible!"
At this moment, a minister at the lower end of the table cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the number of Apex Level experts in the Divine Dynasty has already been greatly reduced. If there is another major action, it is feared that the forces stationed in important territories will have to be mobilized to support it. Therefore, I am worried..."
He was tactfully reminding Su Mingqian that if Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty were to truly conflict or even go to war with the Mong Clan because of this matter, the losses would be difficult to control.
The mysterious and terrifying enemy had yet to reveal themselves, and the overall strength of the Divine Dynasty had greatly declined. In such a turbulent time, it was not advisable to stir up more trouble.
Princess Su Mingyu coldly snorted, "Elder Xuan Shui, if it were any other matter, I would agree with your opinion. But this person is different. His true value is much more important than the Three Corpse Unified Harmony experts! As long as we obtain him, not only do we have hope of resolving the threat from the external enemy, but we can also completely unify the Dragon Spring Great World in the future!"
The elder Xuan Shui's expression stiffened slightly, seemingly unable to believe the princess's judgment. Just as he was about to question her, a high-ranking eunuch hurriedly entered.
"Your Majesty, something... something major has happened!"
The eunuch knelt down in a panic, stammering as he reported.
Su Mingqian furrowed his brows, displeased as he reprimanded, "What is it that you're so flustered about? What happened?"
"It... it's a message passed on by the elders. The royal treasury has been stolen. All the treasures in hundreds of storage rooms... have disappeared!"
The eunuch reported with a pale face, completely disregarding the pale faces of the ministers around him.
The royal treasury of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty, which contained the most important strategic resources, was mostly stored in those Grotto-Heaven small worlds. The sheer quantity and richness of the treasures made it the most prominent treasure trove in the Dragon Spring Great World.
As long as they existed, the foundation of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty would be secure, and even if the four major clans joined forces, they would not be able to shake the Supreme position of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty in the Dragon Spring Great World.
Now, such a large amount of strategic resources had disappeared without a trace, dealing a fatal blow to the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty.
Emperor Su Mingqian's expression instantly froze, and his face became terrifyingly dark and sinister, causing a chill to rise in Princess Su Mingyu's heart, making her too afraid to speak.
"During this period, which elders were on duty? Summon them all. I want to question them in person!"
Emperor Su Mingqian said in a gloomy tone, unable to hide the cold killing intent in his voice.
The truth of this matter must be revealed, regardless of the cost or the forces involved. No one can disregard the dignity of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty in such a manner!
The eunuch dared not say anything more. He kowtowed and hurriedly left to convey the imperial order.
And at this moment, Qin Muling had already quietly arrived at the territory of the Meng Clan, and then successfully returned to the inner palace of Meng Xuehuan's sleeping chamber.
"... Junior Martial Brother, are you alright?"
Meng Xuehuan had changed into a white flowing dress and had been waiting here for a long time. When she saw this purple-clothed beautiful young man appear, she was both surprised and delighted as she rushed over.
Whether the mission was successful or not was not important to her. As long as Qin Muling could return safely and smoothly, it would be enough.
"I'm fine. The harvest was good. I should have emptied out most of the wealth of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty's royal family."
Qin Muling embraced her and kissed her affectionately, smiling as he spoke. The harvest of this trip was indeed unprecedentedly rich, almost equivalent to all the profits from past transactions with the Meng Clan and the Luo Family Divine Dynasty.
Meng Xuehuan's joy was evident on her face. From the perspective of the Meng Clan, the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty's loss was equivalent to the Meng Clan's gain.
After suffering such a huge loss, the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty would have to behave themselves for a while, whether they were willing or not.
"Junior Martial Brother, should we continue cultivating for a while now?"
Meng Xuehuan's eyes were seductive as she gently caressed Qin Muling's waist, her charming jade face blushing and her voluptuous body tightly embracing him.
"Let's cultivate for three more days first. Then I'll help you heal thirty million severely injured female cultivators. After that, I have to leave!"
Qin Muling said calmly. The agreed-upon time for the transaction with the Luo Family Divine Dynasty was approaching, so he couldn't stay in the Dragon Spring Great World for too long.
Although Meng Xuehuan was reluctant, she understood that Qin Muling couldn't stay here forever. She could only ask, "When will you come next time, Junior Martial Brother?"
"About a year later, right? Give me another list, and I'll take care of killing them all!"
Qin Muling said. After tasting enough sweetness this time, he was already thinking of looting the foundations of the Qi Clan, Li Clan, and Yuan Clan. So he would definitely have to come back several more times in the future.
"Alright then, Junior Martial Brother, don't forget about us."
Meng Xuehuan sighed softly. This was already the best result for herself and the Meng Clan. They couldn't ask for more for the time being.
After completing their cultivation, Qin Muling fulfilled his promise in the following month. He once again healed thirty million female cultivators. Then he used the Heavenly Mechanism Spirit Awakening Divine Ability to help Meng Xuehuan personally select two thousand Meng Clan children and wash their marrow, improving their innate talents and making them possess the potential of monstrous geniuses.
As long as they invested resources and carefully nurtured them, these monstrous geniuses would become the backbone of the Meng Clan in several years.
After bidding farewell to the reluctant Meng Xuehuan and her two sisters, Qin Muling disappeared into the depths of the chaotic void, controlling the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore.
"It's a pity that we accompanied him for so long this time, but in the end, no one had good news!"
Meng Ziqing touched her still flat belly, unable to hide her disappointment. As long as she didn't conceive Junior Martial Brother's child, her position in his heart and in the Meng Clan would always be limited.
Meng Xuan looked at her mother with a complicated expression, then looked at her own flat belly. She pursed her lips and sighed softly.
Meng Xuehuan, on the other hand, had a positive outlook. "It's not a big deal. Junior Martial Brother will definitely come again. We just have to work harder in the future, and one day our wishes will come true!"
She could feel Qin Muling's obsession with her body. As long as she served him wholeheartedly and satisfied him in every way, the outcome would never be bad.
"Yes, that's true," Meng Ziqing agreed with a smile. "Although there is no good news in this aspect, all the sisters who served him have greatly improved their cultivation. It's as if our Meng Clan's strength has increased again! We didn't lose out!"
In addition to the three sisters of Meng Xuehuan, Emperor Qiu Wu, Yu Xiyuan, and Shui Yue Buddha Lord had all become people who had severed their Three Corpses Incarnation. The same went for the other stunning clan women. Their cultivation levels had all increased by two to three major realms on average, and their luck and innate talents had significantly improved.
Correspondingly, after the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty went through this catastrophe, the overall fortune, which was already declining, dropped by about thirty percent, far inferior to the current Meng Clan.
Now, Meng Xuehuan finally understood why Qin Muling had so many dao companions by his side, and each one of them was an extraordinary woman with the Three Corpse Unified Harmony and exceptional talent and fortune. In the end, it was all because of his Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus.
Faced with such an opportunity to achieve enlightenment and eternal transcendence, any normal female cultivator would not be able to resist having thoughts about him, regardless of their reserved and aloof nature. In the face of the transformed body of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, even those female cultivators who were extremely proud and arrogant couldn't help but let go of all their arrogance and dignity and throw themselves at him.
A few days later, Qin Muling had already appeared in the capital of the Luojia Divine Dynasty. The empress and her ministers, who were eagerly awaiting his arrival, were naturally overjoyed and immediately treated him with the highest standards.
In the boudoir of the empress Yun Wuyun.
"...Junior Martial Brother, how long can you stay this time?"
Qin Ying Immortal Venerable held a wine jar and her star-filled eyes were misty, speaking somewhat resentfully.
"How about three months?"
Qin Muling smiled and said. He had gained too much from this trip and needed to quickly send it back to the Extreme Void Starry Sky to improve his strength, so he couldn't stay here for long.
"Three months is too short, right? Can't it be extended a bit?"
Yun Qingzhi approached, gently rubbing her smooth jade hand against his abdomen, her beautiful face blushing, and she lowered her head, intending to continue massaging his legs.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment. "Then how about four months? It really can't be any longer."
"Is that so? That's fine too."
Qin Ying Immortal Venerable breathed a sigh of relief. One more month was also good. In terms of the accelerated time in the Time Acceleration Array, it was equivalent to ten thousand times the passage of time.
Qin Muling took a slight breath of cool air and gently caressed Yun Qingzhi's smooth and beautiful face like jade, asking softly, "How is the situation with the Jade Clan in the Engraved Tin Great World recently?"
The Jade Clan in the Engraved Tin Great World was the mortal enemy of the Luojia Divine Dynasty. Qin Muling had already helped them kill the current Clan Master of the Jade Clan, Yu Tianyang, as well as twenty-four other important figures.
By now, the number of important figures who had fallen in the Jade Clan had exceeded one hundred, and Qin Muling's list of deaths had not been exhausted yet.
Qin Ying Immortal Venerable's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Yun Qingzhi with a hint of shyness, speaking with a smile, "After the death of Yu Tianyang, the core elders of the Jade Clan had several intense arguments during their meetings. They have now selected a new Clan Master, but news of that mysterious curse has already spread, so now... many Transcendent Level forces know about it."
The continuous deaths of over a hundred important figures would not have a significant impact on the Jade Clan, which monopolized a Great World and had profound heritage, unless a couple more zeros were added to that number.
"It seems that the Jade Clan has quite a few hostile forces!"
Qin Muling pondered. In the eyes of those external forces, the recent changes within the Jade Clan meant that this behemoth had also been targeted by some mysterious force.
The death of Clan Master Yu Tianyang was just the beginning. In the time to come, the Jade Clan would definitely have more important figures dying due to the curse.
In that case, what else was there to say? In the past few months, the opposing forces of certain Jade Clans had already begun sharpening their knives and preparing to take advantage of the situation.
"...So our Luojia Divine Dynasty's surrounding void has indeed become much quieter recently because the attention of those forces has been drawn to the Engraved Tin Great World."
Empress Yun Wuyun concluded.
