Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The Ancient Country Princess Seeks Medicine—Is She After My Body?

The Fire Realm is one of the Three Thousand Dao Realms in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Its area is far smaller than the Emperor Realm where the Jun Family resides, even only being one percent of the Emperor Realm.

But even at one percent of the Emperor Realm, the Fire Realm is still a vast Dao Realm.

In the Fire Realm, there are no numerous standing powers.

The one who commands the entire Fire Realm is the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.

The Vermilion Bird Ancient Country is an ancient power with a long heritage, strong though not as powerful as the Ancient Desolate Family, with deep reserves and a resounding reputation.

In addition to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, there are also the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country, White Tiger Ancient Country, and Black Tortoise Ancient Country.

The Four Ancient Countries are collectively known as the Four Symbols Ancient Country.

At this moment, within the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom Imperial Palace, inside a resplendent great hall.

A middle-aged man dressed in a red-gold Vermilion Bird long robe is lying on a bed, his forehead dark, his whole body weak, as if suffering from a severe illness, his life force like a dwindling flame.

He is the Sovereign of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.

Standing by the bedside is a beautiful woman.

She is adorned in a red feather robe, with a graceful figure, long legs, and fair skin.

Her red hair flows like dancing flames.

Her beautiful eyes are of a lovely amethyst hue, her jade nose high, her red lips vibrant, and her pearly teeth glistening.

Particularly, with a vermilion mark on her forehead complementing her jade-like visage, she appeared as stunning as a blooming peach, captivatingly gorgeous.

This woman is none other than the Princess of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, Bai Yu’Er.

”Father, Yu’Er will definitely find the Immortality Medicine to save you,” Bai Yu’Er bit her delicate lips and said.

”Yu’Er, you’ve worked hard, but one cannot forcibly obtain the Immortality Medicine...” The Vermilion Bird Sovereign shook his head slightly, his voice extremely weak, with a sense of despair.

The Immortality Medicine, what a rare existence it is.

Even those Supreme Daoist Lineages and Immortal Influences don’t have much in stock.

And they are even less likely to kindly offer it to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.

Though the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country is strong and possesses many top-grade Holy Medicines, not a single Immortality Medicine is found here.

After all, in the outside world, if an Immortality Medicine appeared, it would cause a bloody storm; there wouldn’t even be enough time to vie for it, so how could it be sold to someone else?

”Father, rest assured, with Yu’Er’s capabilities, I will definitely obtain the Immortality Medicine!” Bai Yu’Er’s beautiful eyes were resolute, turning grief into strength.

Who is she?

The Princess of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, with a Vermilion Bird Divine Flame inlaid in her forehead, with outstanding talent.

Not to mention her looks, which are renowned throughout the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Many young Celestial Prides from various powers are merely Bai Yu’Er’s lapdogs.

This has nurtured Bai Yu’Er’s somewhat proud and aloof personality.

She believed that she definitely had the ability to save her father and the entire Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.

”Those young Celestial Prides from the various powers are all useless; when their help is needed, they can’t even provide an Immortality Medicine.”

”Even my fiancé Xiao Chen, as the Eldest Prince of the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country, couldn’t fetch a single Immortality Medicine.”

Bai Yu’Er walked out of the Imperial Palace, her jade face somber.

After her father’s incident, the national strength of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country declined year by year.

Subsequently, the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country proposed a marriage alliance.

At that time, the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country promised to give the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country an Immortality Medicine.

Bai Yu’Er and the Eldest Prince of the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country Xiao Chen knew each other since childhood, maintaining a relatively good relationship despite keeping some distance.

After weighing it in her heart, Bai Yu’Er agreed.

As time passed, the marriage was set long ago, yet the Immortality Medicine never appeared.

And now, the weakened state of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country lacks the strength to demand from the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country.

Thus, Bai Yu’Er could only rely on herself to search for the Immortality Medicine.

”What should I do? Father cannot fall ...” Bai Yu’Er couldn’t help but feel anxious inside.

”Right, how could I almost forget, my friend, Jun Linglong?” Bai Yu’Er suddenly thought.

Once, in a Secret Realm, she had an encounter with Jun Linglong, and they got along quite well.

Although they haven’t stayed in contact much since, given Jun Linglong’s character, she probably wouldn’t ignore her.

Besides, the Jun Family definitely has the Immortality Medicine.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu’Er’s breathing quickened, and she hurriedly took out a Jade Scroll to send a message.

On the other side, in a side hall of the Celestial Emperor Palace in the Jun Family, Jun Linglong also received the message.

”The Sovereign of the Vermilion Bird is seriously ill and needs the Immortality Medicine for treatment?” Jun Linglong frowned slightly upon receiving the news.

To be honest, if Bai Yu’Er hadn’t sent a message, she would have almost forgotten about this ”friend.”

Though Bai Yu’Er is an Ancient Country Princess, with a noble status,

Jun Linglong is a Proud Daughter of Heaven from an Ancient Desolate Family.

Though she is now a maid for Jun Xiaoyao, when stepping out into the world, she is still a celebrated noble lady adored by all from the Jun Family.

”Asking for an entire Immortality Medicine at once, she indeed has a large appetite, but after all, we are acquaintances.” Jun Linglong frowned slightly.

But the problem is, she doesn’t have an Immortality Medicine.

At this time, a Divine Soul Communication entered Jun Linglong’s mind.

”Linglong, brew tea.”

Jun Linglong hurriedly stood up, as Jun Xiaoyao was calling her to brew tea.

In a steaming pool filled with Immortal Aura, Jun Xiaoyao was bare-chested, his body sculpted like Immortal Jade, shimmering with flowing light.

Already eight years old, Jun Xiaoyao’s stature was tall and slender.

Nearby, Jun Linglong entered, offering a cup of Enlightenment Tea to Jun Xiaoyao.

Watching Jun Xiaoyao gradually grow, becoming more and more exquisitely handsome, Jun Linglong had a sense of raising a pretty boy.

”What’s up, is there something?” Jun Xiaoyao took a sip of tea and said lightly.

”Nothing.” Jun Linglong’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

”Speak, do you think you can hide it from me?” Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile.

Jun Linglong bit her lip slightly and eventually relayed Bai Yu’Er’s issue.

”I see, is it the Immortality Medicine? I don’t lack it.” Jun Xiaoyao shrugged.

During his time at the Taiyue Ancient Stele, he acquired three Immortality Medicines, and later the Eighteenth Ancestor gradually gave him five more.

Over the years, Jun Xiaoyao had only refined three, leaving five remaining.

”Since it’s your friend, giving her one is not a problem, let her come over.” Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand and said.

”Just like that?” Jun Linglong was slightly taken aback.

The world of wealthy folks, she truly didn’t understand it!

However, Jun Linglong still nodded slightly, sending a reply to Bai Yu’Er.

Jun Xiaoyao’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Naturally, he didn’t intend to play the good Samaritan; he had his ideas and plans.

This role of righteousness and light should be left to the respectable figures of the righteous path.

The part of a Holy Mother isn’t suitable for him.

Furthermore, while Jun Xiaoyao didn’t prioritize an Immortality Medicine, he wasn’t generous to the point of casually giving it away.

”In the Jun Family, these sequences not only have their own branches’ support but also have affiliated Daoist linages.”

”Even Jun Zhangjian has followers such as the Ancient Sword Sect, those affiliated powers.”

These affiliated powers do not submit to the Jun Family but to individuals.

”The Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, though its strength has waned over the years, is still larger than a camel and can be recruited; perhaps the other three ancient countries can also be taken as affiliated powers.”

Jun Xiaoyao was plotting in his heart.

After all, being the Zero Sequence, it would be somewhat shabby if he didn’t have any affiliated powers behind him.

One must maintain the appropriate prestige.

As for Bai Yu’Er, to think she could get an Immortality Medicine for free, how could it be possible?

Jun Xiaoyao is not here for charity; he wouldn’t do anything that doesn’t benefit him.

Upon receiving Jun Linglong’s reply, Bai Yu’Er was exceedingly delighted.

This feeling was like rain after a long drought.

But the words from Jun Linglong made Bai Yu’Er fall into contemplation.

Because the one who offered her the Immortality Medicine wasn’t Jun Linglong herself.

”Could it be that a Celestial Pride from the Jun Family agrees to give me an Immortality Medicine because he fancies me?”

Bai Yu’Er couldn’t help but wonder.

She was quite confident in her own appearance, being the most beautiful woman in the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.

Within the entire Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, she was quite renowned for her beauty.

In her mind, someone willing to give her an Immortality Medicine must desire her charm.

”Indeed, even a Celestial Pride from the Jun Family can’t escape the mundane.” Bai Yu’Er felt inexplicably a bit disappointed.

Apparently, the Jun Family’s Celestial Prides are not as transcendent and detached as imagined.

”But no matter what, getting the Immortality Medicine to save Father is the priority.”

Bai Yu’Er shook her head and set out for the Emperor Realm.
