Chapter 254: Rich Harvest, Massive Amount of Medicinal Pills!

"This is Nether Qi!"

"It is Empress Mingyue!"

"She had already secretly laid out her schemes!"

"She didn't make a move earlier to lure me into the trap and capture me alive?!"

Alchemist Emperor was greatly alarmed, his expression filled with panic.

With just one glance, he recognized the extraordinary nature of the Nether Qi.

How could it be as the rumors said, that Empress Mingyue was restricted and unable to fight consecutive battles?

This Nether Qi was clearly growing stronger, not in the least bit inferior to the Great Emperor Ziyang he was familiar with!

Who said Empress Mingyue was trapped?

This was clearly a rumor.

It was a huge pit!

Empress Mingyue was scheming to lure him into the trap!

However, by the time Alchemist Emperor realized this, it was already too late.

How could Alchemist Emperor, who had rushed across Realms, possibly contend with Empress Mingyue's methods?

The rampant Nether Qi had been lying in ambush here for a long time. Once it erupted, thousands of strands wrapped Alchemist Emperor up like a silkworm cocoon.

No matter that he was an Alchemist Emperor!

No matter that he possessed the strength of the Late Stage Quasi-Emperor Realm!

No matter how many trump cards he had, they were all useless.

Wrapped into a cocoon, Alchemist Emperor couldn't even speak; he could only gaze out in terror as he was transformed into a streak of light and shot into the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

Before everyone's eyes, Qin Xuan's ancient prison-suppressing tower exerted a whale-like swallowing force.

In the blink of an eye, it sucked the only Alchemist Emperor of the Ziyang Empire into the small tower.

In the distance, the Aristocratic Families of the Mingyue Dynasty, who had been observing the area, were deeply shaken by the scene before them.

"What a terrifying little tower! Not only did this tower allow Qin Xuan to destroy the Butian Holy Land, which possessed a Quasi-Emperor, but now, after receiving a response from Alchemist Emperor, it has even sucked this Alchemist Emperor into the small tower!"

"The spectacle of the heaven and earth Origin Qi being swallowed for hundreds of miles inside the Underworld Kings Mansion earlier must have been this small tower advancing!"

"If it weren't for the fact that no heaven and earth phenomenon occurred, this small tower in Qin Xuan's hands would likely have already ascended to the ranks of an Emperor Weapon."

"Even if it isn't an Emperor Weapon, this small tower is a standout among quasi-emperor artifacts, a rare existence!"

"With the Wangqing Palace and Alchemist Emperor captured this time, Qin Xuan deserves the greatest credit. It is just a pity that we do not know the current situation of Her Majesty the Empress; those fellows who are secretly coveting the throne are becoming increasingly restless and have already come to regard Qin Xuan as a thorn in their side!"

"It appears that Empress Mingyue saved Qin Xuan's life from Great Emperor Ziyang, but in reality, his situation in the Mingyue Dynasty is even more precarious."

"He is the vanguard and cannon fodder for Empress Mingyue; when the Empress is in trouble, everyone will surely choose Qin Xuan as the first to strike!"

While these Aristocratic Families were astonished, Luo Xianxian, who had witnessed with her own eyes Alchemist Emperor being sucked into the ancient prison-suppressing tower from within the barrier, was completely dumbfounded.

She stood blankly in place, like a marionette, her movements becoming stiff.

"How could this happen?"

"Qin Xuan is only at the Quasi-Saint Realm! This small tower is at most a quasi-emperor artifact! How could it render Alchemist Emperor, who is at the Late Stage Quasi-Emperor Realm, completely unable to fight back?"

"Could it be that this small tower has a peculiar effect, where as long as the person called responds, they will be constrained by the power of rules and sucked into the tower?"

Everything happening before her eyes was like a fantasy, unbelievable.

It made Luo Xianxian suspect for a moment whether Empress Mingyue had secretly intervened to capture Alchemist Emperor, who was at the Late Stage Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Yet, she had not sensed the slightest trace of the Empress making a move.

Moreover, the one who created this incredible feat was Qin Xuan!

Even with so much confusion in her heart, and no matter how unwilling she was to believe what was happening before her.

It seemed that as long as such bizarre things were linked to Qin Xuan.

Everything became reasonable.

The bizarre things Qin Xuan had done were too many, so many that those who heard of them had already become numb.

As long as something was related to Qin Xuan, it seemed one would not be surprised.

Luo Xianxian rubbed her eyes, wanting to see clearly the bottom line of Qin Xuan high in the sky.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xuan felt that burning gaze and turned back, a smile playing on the corners of his lips, his smile becoming increasingly radiant as he said, "Little Luo, go back to the Underworld Kings Mansion and fetch me a basin of hot water. Once this matter is concluded, you will personally attend to washing my feet."

Luo Xianxian opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping herself; the words reached her throat, but she suddenly choked.

She had only one thought in her heart.

It's over!

She had fallen into Qin Xuan's trap.

She had been sold by Qin Xuan, and was still counting the money for him.

The key was that Qin Xuan actually knew her surname; he had likely already guessed her identity.

Not to mention that she herself did not want to break her word and renege on the agreement to his face.

Even if she were to break the agreement and turn to flee, she feared she would be unable to escape from Qin Xuan's grasp.

Could it be that she, Luo Xianxian, was destined to end up as a slave or servant in the Mingyue Imperial City?

"You are quite trustworthy, you didn't run away immediately."

Qin Xuan withdrew his gaze from Luo Xianxian, not having much worry, and immediately sent his thoughts into the ancient prison-suppressing tower, tossing the roaring Alchemist Emperor into the God-Demon Realm to be suppressed on the spot, and then paid him no further mind.

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, let alone Alchemist Emperor, a Quasi-Emperor.

Even if a Great Emperor came, he would still have the power to fight!

A mere Quasi-Emperor could be suppressed with the flip of a hand.

Leng Li found it annoying and blocked the roaring sounds of Alchemist Emperor from the God-Demon Realm. Knitting her brows, her red eyes filled with suspicion, she muttered, "The ancient prison-suppressing tower should not have the ability to suck in Alchemist Emperor. Earlier, did someone secretly assist you?"

Even with her Realm, she could not see through what had happened earlier.

The person had done their work too cleanly, with too strong a concealment.

If she were not the Acquired Artifact Spirit of the small tower and knew that the small tower did not have such capabilities.

Otherwise, she would have been deceived as well.

Qin Xuan nodded and said without concealment, "Naturally, it was Empress Mingyue. This time, she had me accompany Ning Waner to suppress the Wangqing Palace precisely to borrow my name, to forcibly suppress the experts of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, in order to confirm the rumors that her situation was precarious!"

By this point, he had already seen through Empress Mingyue's intentions.

Everything was her layout.

Even he, the big villain, was a piece in the game.

And, he had to make a move to help Empress Mingyue make this layout look more realistic.

Leng Li snorted in shock, "This Empress is truly sinister; she would not hesitate to sacrifice a Quasi-Emperor and tens of thousands of Ming Emperor Blood Guards just to lure out those restless rebels."

"Making you the vanguard and cannon fodder; in this way, those people will indeed target you."

"Your situation in the Mingyue Dynasty has become precarious; I fear you must be on guard at all times against being assassinated by a Quasi-Emperor!"

Leng Li found it absurd. In the past, everyone called her a big Devil Head who killed without blinking.

But compared to power-holders like Great Emperor Ziyang and Empress Mingyue.

Her killings seemed like child's play, not worth mentioning.

Compared to their schemes, she was incomparably more innocent than such power-holders!

"Being in that position, if she doesn't kill, others will kill her. If she doesn't make heads roll once and for all, making them fear her, she will inevitably not be able to sit firmly in that position. Compassion cannot lead an army; righteousness cannot manage wealth."

Qin Xuan did not think Empress Mingyue was sinister.

If one is not ruthless, one cannot stand firm.

Furthermore, Empress Mingyue also had to consider Zhou Chen.

She had to pave the way for Zhou Chen to ascend the throne and clear the world.

Letting those restless rebels continue to lurk in the shadows, becoming increasingly deeply rooted, would only have a huge negative impact on Zhou Chen's growth.

It is better to have one big wave, killing until heads roll and blood flows like a river.

As for his own situation?

It didn't change much.

There were plenty of Quasi-Emperors who wanted to kill him; he didn't care about adding a few more experts from the Mingyue Dynasty.

Besides, he was not the type to willingly act as cannon fodder.

To make him step forward, he naturally had to be given benefits.

Look, the only Alchemist Emperor of the Mingyue Dynasty and Ziyang Empire was now suppressed in his ancient prison-suppressing tower.

This Alchemist Emperor, who could continuously provide Medicinal Pills—could it be that someone expected him to let him go?

Isn't that pure nonsense?

Whoever dared to snatch his Medicinal Pill production machine would get a big slap in the face.

In the ruins, Ning Waner came to Qin Xuan, tottering; her beautiful eyes filled with both pain and gratitude as she spoke, "Qin Xuan, this time it is all thanks to you. If you hadn't made a move in time, General Gu You and I would surely have died!"

"This time, suppressing the Wangqing Palace and capturing Alchemist Emperor, you deserve the greatest credit."

"Follow me back to the Imperial Palace and wait for the reward from Her Majesty the Empress."

She was exhausted, the Ming Emperor Blood Guards had suffered huge casualties, and a close friend at the Quasi-Emperor Realm had fallen.

She was also seriously injured, and her mood was exceptionally low.

"You are seriously injured." Qin Xuan reached out, placing his hand on Ning Waner's shoulder to investigate her internal injuries, then immediately took out a Medicinal Pill, saying softly, "This is a star pill, a Quasi-Emperor level Medicinal Pill. Even if you take it, you will be able to stop the deterioration of your injuries in a short time, and within three days, your injuries will be able to fully heal."

The Medicinal Pill was naturally taken from Alchemist Emperor.

Qin Xuan didn't recognize it, but he could know all of Alchemist Emperor's psychological activities.

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, nothing could escape his eyes and ears.

The good things Alchemist Emperor carried with him now all belonged to him.

He could give it to whoever he wanted. With Alchemist Emperor there, it was equivalent to having an instruction manual, so there was no worry about improper use of the Medicinal Pill.

Ning Waner took out a hairband, held it in her red lips, and was about to tie a ponytail to take Qin Xuan into the palace to see the Empress. Upon seeing the star pill, which was wrapped with ten layers of pill patterns, she stopped the action of tying her hair, and the hairband in her mouth drifted away with the wind.

She stared intently at the star pill before her; in her beautiful eyes, a yearning light flickered, but she still shook her head and politely declined, "This Medicinal Pill is too precious, so precious that I cannot accept it!"

Qin Xuan took Ning Waner's smooth, small hand and forcibly stuffed the star pill into her palm, rolling his eyes, and said crossly, "Between you and me, why care about such things?"

It's just one star pill.

Giving away one, there were at least a hundred more in the small tower.

Even if he gave them all away, he wouldn't feel pained.

With Alchemist Emperor, the Alchemist Emperor who refined Medicinal Pills, here, he was equivalent to possessing an assembly line that could infinitely produce Medicinal Pills.

In the future, would he still be afraid of not having enough Medicinal Pills?

"I will remember this favor." Ning Waner did not mind the small action of Qin Xuan scratching her palm; she took the star pill and turned to gift it to another Quasi-Emperor Realm who only had half a body left.

Afterwards, she left General Gu You to clean up the battlefield and collect the remains of the Ming Emperor Blood Guards.

She then ordered the Formation Masters in the distance to open the barrier and, taking Qin Xuan with her, they sped towards the Mingyue Imperial City.
