Chapter 248: Infiltrating the Wangqing Palace Headquarters

Chapter 248: Infiltrating the Wangqing Palace Headquarters

Over the next few days, Qin Xuan stayed only in the ancient prison-suppressing tower and his bedroom, not taking a single step outside, working day and night.

Aside from Cultivating, he spent his time accumulating Villain Points.

As of now, the Villain Points Qin Xuan had accumulated had reached a high of 1.63 million.

"Currently, the Phoenix Treasure Technique has not reached Perfection; it requires two million Villain Points to be able to transform into a Phoenix and achieve Nirvana Rebirth."

"The Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture has only just reached Minor Achievement. To Cultivate it to Major Achievement requires 1.5 million Villain Points, and to Cultivate from Major Achievement to the Peak requires three million points, not to mention Cultivating to Perfection. These Villain Points really do not go very far!"

As it stands, the Phoenix Treasure Technique has only been Cultivated to the Peak, and even for someone like Qin Xuan, it is impossible to truly grasp the Origin of the Phoenix clan.

Once Cultivated to Perfection, he would be able to transform into a Phoenix, and the healing intensity of the Nirvana Fire would soar to a new level.

It would be equivalent to being in a life-and-death battle with someone; after both sides were severely injured, he would only need to use the Nirvana Fire to heal his wounds completely and return to his Peak.

How overbearing would that be?

Not to mention, the Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture that dropped from Saint Son Chen Fan has the most formidable damage output.

If upgraded, his combat power would see a massive surge!

This is what Qin Xuan urgently needs right now!

"The Villain Points are still too few!"

Qin Xuan could not help but sigh. It looked like he had plenty of Villain Points.

In reality, they did not last long at all.

Merely upgrading such high-quality Cultivation Techniques slightly would often exhaust his entire fortune.

"System, first Cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture to Major Achievement!"

Qin Xuan issued the order to the System in his mind.

Comforting himself slightly was enough to soothe his inner dissatisfaction.

Spending Villain Points was indeed costly, but the resulting improvements were staggering.

Take the Phoenix Treasure Technique, for example. With the talent of Saintess Yao Yao, the Holy Master of Yaochi, who knows how many years she has spent Cultivating, how long she has studied it, and how many resources she has consumed, yet she has only just managed to Cultivate it to Major Achievement.

And him?

From the time he obtained the Phoenix Treasure Technique until now, it has only been a few months.

As long as he has enough Villain Points, any Cultivation Technique in front of him can reach Perfection in an instant!

As 1.5 million Villain Points were deducted, a cool sensation flowed through Qin Xuan's limbs and bones.

Within three breaths, a flash of inspiration appeared in Qin Xuan's mind.

Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture at Major Achievement!

Roar, roar, roar—

As he slightly mobilized the surging Saint Yuan power within his limbs and bones, the Dragon-Elephant Strength roared deafeningly!

Clenching his palm, Qin Xuan felt this surging power, and in his heart, he became increasingly enlightened!

"Dragon-Elephant Strength is just a way to drive Saint Yuan power; it does not necessarily mean that 2,000 units of Dragon-Elephant Strength are stronger than 1,000 units of Dragon-Elephant Strength!"

When the Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture was at Minor Achievement, with his current cultivation at the Late Stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, he could throw a punch with 5,000 units of Dragon-Elephant Strength. Even a powerhouse at the Peak of the Saint King Realm would likely not dare to withstand his fist head-on.

And now that the Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture is at Major Achievement, he can still at most throw a punch with 5,000 units of Dragon-Elephant Strength, but now, his punch could probably blast a Peak Saint King Realm expert into pieces!

Dragon-Elephant Strength is more like a way to drive Yuan power, capable of multiplying combat power!

By spending 1.5 million Villain Points, his combat power now has more than doubled compared to a few breaths ago!

"No wonder the Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture is the most expensive Cultivation Technique I currently possess to upgrade. A Cultivation Technique that multiplies combat power is an extreme Prodigy in its own right; how could it not cost Villain Points?"

If he had sufficient Villain Points now to Cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Domain-Suppressing Scripture to the Peak, would his combat power not double again?

It is just a pity, three million Villain Points.

Who knows when he will be able to save up enough.

While Qin Xuan was contemplating how to squeeze out more Villain Points, Qing Ning pushed the door open and walked in gracefully.

"Young Master, Young Miss Ning Waner is waiting for you outside, saying she has something to discuss with you."

Her waist had become increasingly voluptuous, and that special charm of a young married woman was even more intense.

While preparing the robes for Qin Xuan to go out, her gaze would steal glances at him from time to time, and a red flush spread across her face, as if recalling the absurd and unbearable details of these past few days.

With Ning Waner's assistance, Qin Xuan put on his robes, stretched his somewhat depleted waist, and after confirming everything was in order, he slowly walked out of the bedroom.

"Five days, a full five days, and you have not stepped out of your room once. Those who know will say that Your Highness the Ming King has hired a Royal Master; those who do not might think Your Highness the Ming King has taken in a young maiden who never leaves her room!"

Standing on the eaves of the Prince's mansion with her arms crossed, Ning Waner mocked him coldly upon seeing Qin Xuan appear.

"Are you not just spouting nonsense?" Qin Xuan rolled his eyes.

What young maiden could walk out of his residence unscathed?

Standing beside Ning Waner, Qin Xuan looked her up and down and asked suspiciously, "Are you a sparrow? You are either standing on a tree branch or on the eaves; can you not just stand on the ground to talk?"

Ning Waner snorted coldly, too lazy to argue.

In the end, she could not out-argue Qin Xuan, and it was not worth sulking alone.

She got straight to the point: "Based on the clues Qing Ning mentioned earlier, we have investigated the location of the Wangqing Palace headquarters. The evidence of Qing Ning assassinating Your Highness the Ming King is conclusive. If you want Her Majesty the Empress not to pursue the matter, you must contribute to the eradication of Wangqing Palace this time!"

Qin Xuan said irritably, "What about the Empress? With her strength, if she knew the location of the Wangqing Palace headquarters, could she not just wipe it out with a single palm strike?"

Ning Waner paused for a moment and continued, "Her Majesty the Empress has gone to investigate the Secret Realm of Shanwai Mountain. If the creatures there are released, the entire Imperial City will be turned into a sea of blood!"

"The Secret Realm of Shanwai Mountain..." Qin Xuan muttered to himself, wanting to laugh a little.

The lyrics he had blurted out unexpectedly turned out to be a Secret Realm.

It even caused Ning Waner to misunderstand that Su Youyu had leaked the information to him.

He wondered what kind of treatment Su Youyu, this Daughter of Luck, would receive if she returned to the Mingyue Dynasty in the future.

Mingyue Dynasty, inside the dungeon.

Su Youyu wiped away tears in grievance, "I am not a spy, and I did not betray Her Majesty the Empress. That is my eldest sister; am I, Su Youyu, the kind of ungrateful villain?"

"They will not listen to my explanation, and neither my eldest sister nor my second sister are willing to come see me. I am wronged! I am so wronged!"

Luo Xinyi used chopsticks to pick up a piece of Yao Beast leg meat and stuffed it into Su Youyu's delicate mouth, "Shut up!"

"Wuwuwu, I... I am aggrieved... I am not reconciled..." Su Youyu sobbed heartbrokenly, while smacking her lips. As she chewed, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Luo Xinyi and Mu Qingxue, who were squatting outside the iron cell, and asked in surprise, "It is so delicious, what kind of beast meat is this? I want to eat this again tomorrow!"

Luo Xinyi rolled her eyes wildly, "You have even gained confidence while sitting in jail; you have even become picky about what you eat!"

"You should be grateful to have something to eat! Let me tell you, this dungeon suppresses one's Realm!"

"If you do not eat here, without Yuan power replenishment, you will get hungry. You will not starve to death, but you will have a hard time!"

"Being able to come in and bring you things is something I spent money and pulled strings for. I do not care; when you get out, you have to pay me back double!"

Mu Qingxue tugged at Luo Xinyi beside her, then looked at Su Youyu in the cell with her beautiful eyes and comforted her, "We are trying every possible way to save you, but they say you are a traitor to the Mingyue Dynasty, a scumbag, and no amount of Yuan Stones will work!"

"We originally planned to go find Qin Xuan, but he has now become the Royal Master for Your Highness the Ming King and never steps out of his room. Every time we get close, we are turned away, and we simply cannot see Qin Xuan."

Su Youyu pouted and hummed, "That is only natural. We are people from the Yaochi Sacred Land; naturally, my eldest sister would not allow Qin Xuan to return to the Yaochi Sacred Land."

"A freak like Qin Xuan, before establishing a sufficiently deep bond with the Mingyue Dynasty, the Mingyue Dynasty would absolutely never allow him to have the possibility of being recruited by you!"
