Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 319: Chapter 328: The Fire Spirit Pearl in Hand

”I don’t really know why he’s called the Lonely Demon Venerable. That’s something you’ll have to figure out slowly in the future. But for now, the primary task is to quickly obtain the Fire Spirit Pearl. You have many missions ahead, and you can’t afford to delay,” said the Sword Spirit.

Chu Linfeng understood clearly that he must quickly acquire the Fire Spirit Pearl and then leave the Imperial City to seek other Spiritual Pearls to enhance his strength.

”Lin Feng, what are you thinking about? Why aren’t you talking?” Meng Ji asked, seeing Chu Linfeng lost in thought.

Chu Linfeng forced a bitter smile and said, ”Meng Ji, I’m thinking about how to get the Fire Spirit Pearl. I wonder if my brother will give it to me.”

”Hehe, Yuwen Qingkong will surely give it to you. You are now his sworn brother and have done a great service to the Celestial Dragon Empire. Besides, he’s not a stingy person,” Meng Ji smiled.

”Later, ask him if he has any medicine for healing a Bleeding Soul Injury. I want to go back once. I’ve been away from home for so long and don’t know how my father and the others are doing now. Whether the wanted notice from some time ago affected them,” Chu Linfeng said.

”If you want to go back, then go. Otherwise, after you go to the Sea Domain, who knows when you’ll be able to return and deal with the things, so you don’t have any attachments,” Meng Ji smiled.

At this moment, a maidservant walked over and respectfully said to Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji, ”Your Grace, the Master Second Prince invites you to the main hall. He is waiting for you there.”

Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji exchanged a glance and said, ”Let’s go and see what he truly wants with us.”

When they arrived at the main hall, Yuwen Qingkong was brewing tea. Seeing the two enter, he smiled and said, ”Come and try the tea I personally brewed. Such opportunities are rare.”

After Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji sat down, Chu Linfeng asked, ”Big brother, if you have something to say, just say it. If it’s something we can do, we won’t hesitate to help.”

Yuwen Qingkong poured two cups of tea and handed them to the two, saying, ”It’s nothing major. You two can stay here in the meantime; your Prince’s Mansion is still being renovated. I hope you don’t mind.”

”Is that what big brother wanted to say? I’m not concerned about the Prince’s Mansion; you’ve already put a lot of thought into it,” Chu Linfeng smiled.

”Lin Feng, I know your ambition isn’t limited to the Imperial City. I wonder what your plans are for the future!” Yuwen Qingkong said with a smile.

Chu Linfeng knew he finally got to the point, so he took a sip of tea and said, ”Indeed, I plan to leave for a while. I actually need your help, but I’m afraid you won’t be willing.”

Yuwen Qingkong was stunned, looking at the two, and asked, ”What do you need? Just speak up. If it’s within my ability, I’ll do it. Don’t be so reserved.”

At this moment, Meng Ji said, ”Lin Feng is currently practicing a very powerful martial skill and needs your Fire Spirit Pearl. We’re just not sure if the Second Prince would mind.”

”Fire Spirit Pearl? You want the Fire Spirit Pearl?” Yuwen Qingkong said with a surprised look.

”Yes, my purpose in coming to the Imperial City is for the Fire Spirit Pearl. It’s extremely important to me. If, indeed, big brother is unwilling to part with it, then I will have to think of other ways,” Chu Linfeng said seriously.

”Hahaha! It’s just a Fire Spirit Pearl. Why make it sound so serious? It’s just a worldly possession; how can it compare to the brotherly bond between us?” Yuwen Qingkong laughed.

”So big brother is willing to give it to me?” Chu Linfeng asked excitedly.

Instantly, Yuwen Qingkong’s heart wavered, and a fiery red pearl appeared in his hand. The bead was about the same size as Wei Qun’s Earth Spirit Pearl. One could faintly feel subtle energy fluctuations on it.

”Take it. I hope it helps you. I’m very happy as long as your strength can improve,” Yuwen Qingkong said.

After taking the Fire Spirit Pearl, Chu Linfeng immediately placed it in his Storage Ring, then said, ”There’s one more thing I need to trouble big brother with. Meng Ji was injured in the fight with Wu Yuetian; her Heart Spirit was wounded. Please check if there’s such medicine in the Imperial Palace.”

Yuwen Qingkong glanced at Meng Ji and said, ”The Master is injured? Why didn’t you mention it earlier? I don’t have medicine in my mansion, but Father surely has some in the palace. I will ask for you tomorrow.”

”Thank you, Second Prince. Meng Ji is immensely grateful!” Meng Ji said smiling.

”Alright, that’s it. Rest early. Everyone is tired, and your rooms are ready, just to the east,” Yuwen Qingkong said. ”Someone, take the Prince and Princess Consort to the guest room to rest!”

Immediately, a maid came over to Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji and said, ”Your Grace, Princess, please follow me.”

Chu Linfeng felt a black line directly climbing to his forehead. While accepting being called a prince was fine, the title of princess came too suddenly. He was about to retort when a sharp pain suddenly radiated from his body—it was Meng Ji pinching him.

Chu Linfeng shook his head helplessly and said, ”Big brother, we’ll head off then. Meng Ji’s matter is in your hands.”

Subsequently, Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji were led by the maid to a separate courtyard, equally furnished with small bridges, flowing water, exotic flowers, and grasses, in a very beautiful setting.

”Your Grace, Princess, this is a guest room specially prepared by the Second Prince for you. All the amenities are ready. If there is anything else you need, just let me know, and I’ll arrange it,” the maid said.

”Alright, there’s nothing else. You can leave now!” Chu Linfeng said, then walked in.

The courtyard wasn’t large but was very quiet. After entering the house and circling around twice, Chu Linfeng said helplessly, ”This brat really knows how to torment people; there’s only one bed. How are we supposed to sleep?”

”Of course, I will sleep with you. Don’t forget you’re the prince, and I’m the princess consort. It’s only right for us to share a bed. It’s getting late; Your Grace, please allow me to serve you to bed!” Meng Ji said gently.

”Come on, you can’t be serious. That would damage your reputation. I think you should take the bed; I’ll find somewhere else to rest,” Chu Linfeng said hurriedly.

”Haha, I’m just playing with you! Why so nervous? Are you afraid I’ll eat you?” Meng Ji said as she walked directly into the room and lay on the bed.

Chu Linfeng sat on the chair not far from the bed and took out the Fire Spirit Pearl to examine it closely. With a thought, he slightly probed inside with his Divine Sense and found the Fire Spirit Pearl was filled with dense Fire Element Molecules, unimaginably rich.

”Lin Feng, you’ve finally obtained the Fire Spirit Pearl. Now you can practice the First Transformation of the Nine Revolutions Star Transformation, the Fire Transformation. But I advise you not to practice it for now. Wait until you break through the Fourth Layer of the Star Body, which will reduce a lot of pain,” said Sword Spirit Yue’er.

”Why wait to break through the Fourth Layer? Didn’t you say I could practice it now?” Chu Linfeng asked.

”The energy within the Fire Spirit Pearl is vast, and your current physical resistance is quite limited. I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand the pain. Once you break through the Star Body Fourth Layer, it will be much better,” the Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng felt somewhat depressed. The Fourth Layer wasn’t something he could break through just by wanting to, and the pain itself was an inhuman ordeal, terrifying just to think about.

The Sword Spirit seemed to sense Chu Linfeng’s concern and said, ”Did you forget the first trial of the Drill Field? That’s the best place for you to break through the Fourth Layer, and perhaps there’s a chance to reach the Celestial Martial Realm as well.”

Chu Linfeng immediately recalled the Gravity Chamber. Indeed, he had been seriously worried about breaking through the Star Body’s Fourth Layer at that time. Since the Sword Spirit mentioned it, there must be a reason, so he said, ”Alright, I’ll head to the Drill Field tomorrow. Hope I can succeed!”

Meanwhile, lying on the bed, Meng Ji said, ”Your Grace, why aren’t you coming? How much longer do you want me to wait...”
