Chapter 515 Emperor Qing Huan: Everyone Is Here
Chapter 515: Emperor Qing Huan: You've come...
In Mu Yinghua's Cave Mansion, amidst the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, Qin Muling is playing a game of chess with their master. Emperor Qing Huan sits nearby, watching the game. A group of beautiful and youthful maidservants stand not far away.
After a while, Qin Muling shakes their head helplessly and resigns. "Master's chess skills have become even more refined. I am indeed lacking in this aspect."
Qin Muling smiles and takes a sip from the tea cup in their hand. "You're always busy cultivating or running around outside, not to mention accompanying so many senior sisters and junior sisters. It's normal to lose at chess."
This kind of leisure activity requires a certain level of accumulated skill, which Qin Muling currently doesn't have the time to improve.
Emperor Qing Huan, who is both beautiful and noble, smiles. "If you really want to learn, junior brother, I can teach you. It won't take too long."
"Let's talk about it when there's a chance!" Qin Muling agrees, thinking to themselves that they might have to wait until they become a saint in the future.
Looking at Mu Yinghua's protruding belly, Qin Muling says warmly, "After so many years of hard work, you will finally be able to break through. After our daughter is born, you can travel with me, right?"
Mu Yinghua's eyes are filled with the gentle warmth of motherhood as she gently strokes her belly and says softly, "It may still take some time before that can happen. We have to wait until she grows up safely and has a certain level of self-protection."
Qin Muling nods. With the acceleration array, it won't be difficult for their daughter to grow up quickly and embark on the path of cultivation.
With their guidance, it shouldn't be too difficult for their daughter to reach the Three Corpse Unified Harmony realm.
Qin Muling sighs softly as they look at Emperor Qing Huan. "Unfortunately, senior sister, you still have to wait. By the time she is born, the Extreme Void Starry Sky might have already advanced to the Profound Level High Grade Great World."
Emperor Qing Huan blushes slightly and touches her still relatively flat belly. "There's nothing we can do about it. Anyway... it's worth sacrificing for our daughter."
In fact, apart from not being able to travel with Qin Muling, it doesn't really affect her much. On the contrary, she enjoys various resources and privileges to the fullest. Being served with delicious food and drinks at home without having to do anything, it's impossible for senior sisters and junior sisters not to envy her.
Mu Yinghua's eyes are filled with tenderness as she embraces Qin Muling and says gently, "After this little girl is born, she will be your eldest daughter and the first legitimate descendant of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court. You must treat her well!"
Qin Muling gently agrees. Since their arrival in this time and space, they have already changed many things. The changes in the heavenly secrets have long been unrecognizable, and now their daughter is about to be born.
Who knows what kind of extraordinary changes she will bring to the chaotic void when she is born and grows up?
Emperor Qing Huan embraces Qin Muling with her soft jade arms and suddenly smiles. "Junior brother, as the World Creating Azure Lotus and the Supreme of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court, having only two daughters is far from enough! You must strive harder!"
As the founder of a new dynasty, it is necessary to have many offspring, preferably at least ten legitimate descendants, to ensure the stability and peaceful inheritance of the foundation.
Although the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court is different from secular dynasties, and many things cannot be easily compared, this is enough to show Qin Muling's extraordinary status.
Although most male and female cultivators do not have the idea of finding a partner in their long life journey, there are some powerful cultivators who are particularly fond of beauty. They spare no effort to marry partners, resulting in a large harem and a large number of offspring.
With the long lifespan and almost endless energy of powerful cultivators, they can easily marry thousands of partners, so the number of offspring is obviously not small.
Although it is more difficult for higher-level cultivators to have offspring, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will eventually reap the rewards.
"So, senior sister, how many offspring do you think I should have to be considered qualified?"
Qin Muling couldn't help but ask.
Mu Yinghua said naturally, "You are the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus incarnate. Such a bloodline is extremely rare. It can be said to be the number one bloodline in the chaotic void and the myriad worlds. So, having descendants is definitely a good thing. Having dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of them is not too many!"
"Hundreds, thousands..." Qin Muling couldn't help but be speechless. His master really dared to say that. So, it seemed like he was going to play the role of a humanoid seed planter?
Emperor Qing Huan's eyes curved, and her voluptuous body sat directly on Qin Muling. Her smooth jade hand gently caressed his face as she said in a sweet voice,
"It's only natural. Don't forget how extraordinary your bloodline is. In the future, you are destined to become a top powerhouse. You can greatly enhance the power of the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Even the chance of achieving enlightenment and becoming a saint is much greater than that of ordinary human geniuses!"
"Well, that makes sense, right?" Qin Muling embraced her plump body and pondered. The current strength of the Immortal Dynasty's Heavenly Court was not enough. The more daughters he had, the stronger the high-end strategic military force he could use.
However, when Qin Muling thought about what he needed to do next, he felt a bit overwhelmed. Facing such a large harem, even though his current cultivation level was already sufficient, he couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive.
Moreover, he couldn't avoid this matter. So many senior sisters and junior sisters were watching him.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Muling embraced Emperor Qing Huan's plump waist and changed the topic, "This time, I plan to go to the Mu Xi Great World first to see the situation. If possible, I'll bring back a batch of world origins and let the Extreme Void Starry Sky evolve again."
Mu Yinghua frowned lightly, "Will it be dangerous? Last time when you went to the Kong Qing Great World, it was full of dangers, and so many senior sisters and junior sisters were injured. This time, facing the extremely evil forces of the demonic path, the difficulty will probably be even greater, right?"
Qin Muling smiled, "Don't worry about that. My cultivation level is stronger now than before, and the Mu Xi Great World's foundation is not as deep as the Kong Qing Great World. Nothing will happen."
Even if plundering the Mu Xi Great World was not feasible, there were still many suitable alternative targets. So, Qin Muling was completely unconcerned.
Even if only one or two percent of the world origins could be plundered from each Great World, the total amount would still be considerable when combined with so many targets. Ensuring the Extreme Void Starry Sky's rapid evolution was not a problem.
Emperor Qing Huan hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Junior Brother, how about I go with you this time? It's not inconvenient for me to act now. It won't hurt to go out for a while."
She thought that the world origins would be of great help to herself and her daughter. These special treasures were not easy to find normally. If she could take this opportunity to benefit from those Great Worlds, it would be an ideal result.
Qin Muling's expression froze, and he decisively refused, "That's not possible. It's too dangerous. I would have to take care of you at that time, so forget it. You need the world origins, and I'll bring some back for you next time."
Mu Yinghua also said, "Sister, this is not a joke. Don't cause trouble for Junior Brother. Just wait for him to come back safely."
Emperor Qing Huan sighed slightly with a hint of regret, "Alright, then I won't go. Junior Brother, be careful on your own. Long Yi is a reliable girl. Let her take care of you more."
After a pause, Emperor Qing Huan looked at Qin Muling with a tender and affectionate gaze. Her smooth jade hand slowly slipped into his clothes and then removed her gorgeous dress, revealing her snow-white and dazzlingly beautiful body that could overturn all living beings. She couldn't wait to entwine with him.
...
Alchemy Hall.
In the magnificent and majestic hall, the Hall Master, Yun Miao Divine Sovereign, the Vice Hall Master, Xue Bingxuan, along with Qi Yalan, Luo Huan, Yu Lingzhou, and the little phoenix, Feng Xia, walked slowly by the huge alchemy furnaces emitting intense heat.
On the smooth ground, intricate and profound array patterns shimmered with varying degrees of spiritual light. The deep well beneath the base of the furnace connected to the underground fire veins. It was suppressed and sealed by multiple arrays, allowing the power of the fire veins to be flexibly controlled and continuously drawn upon during alchemy.
Due to the fact that all the alchemical furnaces here belong to the Acquired Spiritual Treasure level, the female alchemists in charge of each furnace are at least senior Taiyi Golden Immortals in cultivation, and Great Principal Golden Immortals are not uncommon.
Each alchemist is accompanied by two or three female slave cultivators of the same realm, as well as dozens of low-level alchemists and hundreds of alchemist apprentices who are responsible for assisting with miscellaneous tasks.
Due to the frequent production of alchemical pills of different grades and purposes, the spacious hall is always filled with a faint blue mist, which carries a pleasant fragrance. Staying inside the hall for a long time is beneficial for the body and soul of low-level cultivators.
The Acquired Spiritual Treasure level alchemical furnaces are equipped with a time acceleration array. In this hall, there are thousands of furnaces, and the annual production of various pills is an astonishing number.
There are many such halls in the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court, and their numbers are still expanding.
"...Junior Sister Yun Miao, the scale of this alchemical hall is getting bigger and bigger!"
Yu Lingzhou, with a pure and tender appearance but a voluptuous and domineering figure, sighed slightly.
Yun Miao, the Divine Emperor with a beautiful face and a charming smile, nodded and said, "That's right, but it still feels insufficient. We need to continue increasing the resources for both the furnaces and the alchemists!"
Xue Bingxuan, with a snowy dress and a dignified and beautiful appearance, glanced at the busy alchemists around her and said softly, "This is because the scale of the newly promoted disciples in the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court is getting larger and larger, so the demand for pill resources is also increasing. In the past two years, we have had to use strategic reserves to ensure supply and demand balance."
Luo Huan, with delicate features and a gentle and quiet demeanor like a precious jade, nodded and said, "Fortunately, Junior Brother has brought in a large number of high-grade alchemical furnaces and slave alchemists. Otherwise, with the previous foundation of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court, we wouldn't be able to sustain such a large scale."
Yu Lingzhou said, "For any Daoist force, pill resources are the foundation for survival and development and must be prioritized. That's why every time Junior Brother goes on a journey, resource procurement in this area has always been of utmost importance."
If spiritual stones and crystals are the energy source of the cultivation world, then pills are the food. Both have the same level of importance, but if we have to compare, food is even more important.
The billions of cultivators in the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court consume an extremely exaggerated amount of pill resources every year, which is also a top priority in the court's financial expenditure. If there are problems in this area, the foundation of the entire Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court's rule will be shaken.
Just think about it, in secular dynasties, once the common people have no food to eat and the court is unable to provide relief, it is inevitable that there will be changes in the ruling power!
Therefore, whenever Qin Muling is at Dragon Spring Great World or Luojia Great World, there is no limit to the procurement of medicinal resources. They will acquire as much as they can get! They will also not miss out on resources related to medicinal pills, such as pill furnaces, pill formulas, slave pill masters, alchemy techniques, and various rare medicinal herb seeds.
In addition, with his own Divine Ability talent, the Immortal Dynasty has never lacked herbal materials. They even have an abundance of Divine Medicine and Heavenly Medicine resources every year, which can be sold externally to earn substantial profits and ensure a balanced income and expenditure.
Emperor Yun Miao smiled and nodded, saying, "With Junior Brother here, our Immortal Dynasty has a unique advantage in this aspect. Even if the number of disciples increases every year, we don't have to worry too much."
Xue Bingxuan pondered and said, "There are still many high-grade pill furnaces in the warehouse. Such important resources should not be left idle. We need to arrange them as soon as possible."
Wearing a black robe, the enchanting Qi Yalan frowned slightly and said, "There is no shortage of space for pill furnaces, and there are enough herbal materials. The only problem is the lack of manpower. The Immortal Dynasty has already recruited all qualified pill masters. It's really difficult to continue expanding the pill hall for the time being!"
Feng Xia, dressed in a fiery red dress, chuckled and said, "It depends on Junior Brother's abilities! As long as he can bring back more pill master slaves next time he goes out, the problem will naturally be solved."
"I hope so."
Emperor Yun Miao said that the Extreme Void Starry Sky is now open to the outside world, but the conditions for large-scale cross-border trade are not yet mature. Therefore, the task of exchanging goods with the outside world can only fall on Qin Muling.
As they chatted along the way, passing through several small teleportation arrays, the women arrived at the next hall. The number of guards at the entrance was not only larger, but the formation restrictions were also obviously higher.
Even though the elders on duty recognized Emperor Yun Miao and her companions and had met them frequently in the past, they still meticulously went through the identity verification procedures. Only after confirming the validity of their jade token talismans were they allowed to enter.
This hall was larger than the previous one, but there were less than five hundred pill furnaces inside. Each pill furnace exuded an awe-inspiring pressure, and the brilliant radiance filled the air, while the rich fragrance of medicinal pills permeated the space.
These were all pill furnaces at the level of Innate Spiritual Treasures. Therefore, each pill furnace was presided over by a Quasi-Saint Emperor level pill master, accompanied by hundreds of Great Principles and Taiyi Golden Immortals. Among them, half were female cultivator slaves skilled in alchemy, and there were thousands of apprentice pill masters at various levels.
Generally speaking, only spiritual pills of Heavenly Grade or above are allowed to be refined using pill furnaces at the level of Innate Spiritual Treasures. Therefore, although there are only six halls of this standard, they account for nearly half of the Immortal Dynasty's production of high-grade medicinal pills.
The remaining more than half of the gap is naturally filled through large-scale external purchases.
"The alchemical furnaces here are all excellent treasures!" Yu Lingzhou said with a smile, "Unfortunately, the quantity is still not considered high. If we could have another three to five thousand furnaces, the self-sufficiency rate of our Immortal Dynasty's high-level elixirs would be even higher!"
These six halls house nearly three thousand Innate Spiritual Treasure level alchemical furnaces, most of which were obtained by Qin Muling during her travels in the chaotic void, killing chaotic beasts and Innate Chaotic Divine Demons, and bringing them back from their lairs.
Emperor Yun Miao sighed, "These things are not easy to come by. Back when our Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had not yet been restored, we only had one Innate Spiritual Treasure level alchemical furnace in the sect, and it was still a low-grade one. Comparing it to now, the difference is truly like heaven and earth!"
Even back then, even the well-established forces like the Palace of Calamitous Fate and Jade Pearl Star Palace would not have more than three Innate Spiritual Treasure level alchemical furnaces in their sects. Dao Court had a recorded nine Innate Spiritual Treasure level alchemical furnaces.
In the Upper Realm, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had fifteen Innate Spiritual Treasure level alchemical furnaces in their sect. Forces like Divine Phoenix Palace and Buddha Domain Pure Land, which were at the Transcendent Level, had less than fifty each. It can be imagined how rare this strategic resource is.
Xue Bingxuan said, "There's no need to rush. As long as Junior Brother is here, there will be more and more good things in the future!"
She vaguely remembered that the head of the Meng Clan, Meng Xuehuan, mentioned that the five Transcendent Level forces in the Dragon Spring Great World each had a scale of just over three thousand Innate Spiritual Treasure level alchemical furnaces. Of course, the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty should have a more abundant foundation, estimated to have over six thousand furnaces.
Hmm, after the collapse of the Kong Qing Great World, many of these strategic resources should have been taken away by external forces. When Junior Brother goes out next time, he should be able to find a way to buy some back.
Xue Bingxuan silently pondered in her heart as she and her sisters left the hall and came to the last and most important Grotto-Heaven secret realm in the alchemy hall.
Inside were placed nineteen alchemical furnaces of the Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure level, which was one of the most important foundations of the Immortal Dynasty's Heavenly Court.
Those who were qualified to preside over an alchemical furnace here and open it for alchemy were mostly powerful beings who had severed their Three Corpses Incarnation. They were accompanied by a large group of female cultivator slaves as assistants, and even the apprentices who did odd jobs had cultivation levels above True Immortal.
As one of Qin Muling's most valued Dao companions, Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan, as well as Emperor Bing Chan, each had their own exclusive alchemical furnace here.
Of course, since they had to accompany Qin Muling in her cultivation, they rarely used them and temporarily authorized other powerful alchemists to use them.
In the former Upper Realm, among the forty-nine Transcendent Level forces, only one-third possessed Dan Furnaces at the level of Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, and the Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions of these Dan Furnaces did not exceed forty layers.
After the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court, over seventy percent of the assets of each force were turned in. However, when it came to high-level Dan Furnaces like this, each force had reservations, and Qin Muling did not demand them from them either. If they were willing to turn them in, they would, and if they were not willing, it didn't matter.
Most of the Dan Furnaces here were brought back by Qin Muling from the depths of the chaotic void. Of course, there were also three from the Heavenly Human Race in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, as well as over two hundred Dan Furnaces at the level of Innate Spiritual Treasure, all of which were taken by Qin Muling.
At this moment, the bottoms of these nineteen Dan Furnaces were all filled with spiritual flames rising, and the bodies of the furnaces were shining with brilliance. The faint sound of thunder echoed on the level of the divine soul, indicating that they were all in operation.
In front of the Dan Furnaces, the female cultivator in charge of alchemy had a solemn expression, focusing her attention on controlling the changes in the high-temperature spiritual flames. Occasionally, she would communicate with her apprentices through divine sense and instruct them to add certain specific auxiliary materials into the furnace.
After watching for a while, Yun Miaojun said to the women beside her, "The more Dan Furnaces of this level, the better. If our Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court can have hundreds of such treasures in the future, how can we not prosper?"
Xue Bingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "In the depths of the chaotic void, there are rumors that Dan Furnaces of this level have appeared in auctions, but the price is exorbitant, and they are also unattainable."
"So if we want to obtain these treasures in bulk, we still have to find a way from those Innate Chaotic Divine Demons," Qi Yalan said with a slight smile. "That's for sure. Not to mention Junior Brother, even the few of us should be able to join forces to deal with one Innate Chaotic Divine Demon, right? By then, we can also go together to reap the opportunities."
Yu Lingzhou gave her a disdainful look and said, "Forget it! Without Junior Brother's unparalleled luck, I bet even if you cleared the territory of ten Innate Chaotic Divine Demons, you wouldn't have much decent harvest!"
"You..." Qi Yalan felt slightly embarrassed and wanted to argue a few words, but upon careful consideration, it seemed that it was indeed the case.
Without Qin Muling's luck to boost them, the luck of all the senior and junior sisters would greatly decline, or rather, return to normal levels, and their harvest would naturally be meager.
Xue Bingxuan smiled and mediated, "Alright! There's no need for us to argue about this. After all, every time we go out, we're always accompanying Junior Brother, aren't we?"
