As time passed, night arrived quietly. Stars covered the entire night sky.
Although the starry sky above the Ji Mansion was not as vast and transparent as the wild land around the Spiritual Spring Mountain, it was still bright and vast enough. After all, this was the residence of a human, and in this region which was filled with an endless number of palaces, it was very easy to sense the auras of powerful practitioners.
Ming Yu rode on top of the Sky-Sundered Falcon and followed closely behind Ji Fengying's Royal Level Vicious Beast. Like this, nearly two incense sticks of time had already passed.
In this period of time, Ming Yu did not say anything. Although he wanted to ask Hu Xifeng's whereabouts, he did not ask as soon as he thought that this matter might anger Ji Fengying.
Furthermore, this was the rule of the game set by Ji Fengying herself. Ming Yu knew that Ji Fengying would not easily violate this rule.
As expected, after flying for a period of time, Ming Yu and Ji Fengying arrived at a mountain range. Ming Yu could already feel Hu Xifeng's aura from within the mountain range.
Ever since he had reached Star Swallowing Stage, Ming Yu's Spiritual Perception was exceptionally strong. Even though Hu Xifeng's aura was weak, he could still sense it.
"Thank God, as long as I am alive, it is worth it."
Ming Yu let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Only now did he start to look at the distant bustling mountain range with its bright lights.
The mountain range was not considered large from a high altitude, and was brightly lit. There were five or six main peaks located in a disorderly and orderly manner, and there were pavilions, trees, plants, and lush flowers. The shocking spirit energy from the earth vein continued to rise, covering the entire mountain range in an incomparable splendor.
From this high altitude, Ming Yu actually felt that it was a golden feathered bird beast crawling within.
This place was Ji Fengying's own residence.
"How about my Phoenixcloud Mountain Range?"
In front of him, Ji Fengying looked back and smiled. Ming Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"In reply to Eldest Miss, I'm envious of you."
Ming Yu cupped his fist in reply. Even though he pretended to be humble towards Ji Fengying and Ming Yu, he was not lying.
The brightly lit mountain range was actually a residence solely for Ji Fengying. How much funds would be needed to complete this mission? Not to mention how much effort was needed to design those incomparably mysterious buildings, just how expensive were the materials themselves? Just the veins within this mountain and river treasured land were incomparably majestic and exuberant, and were even more abundant than the spirit energy in other places of the Ji Mansion.
Just the value of this precious training ground was difficult to measure.
Bai Ling had said before, after reaching Star Swallowing Stage, all of them would be using Star Stones as currency, and 10,000 Star Stones was equivalent to a Star Soul Pill. Then, how many tens of thousands of Star Soul Pill would Ji Fengying's Phoenixcloud Mountain Range need to buy?
This enormous personal wealth, identity, status, no matter who it was, even as a person with Imperial Region, they would feel admiration for this individual.
"Before, you have completed your mission and thus are free from the death sentence. However, if you want to become my servant, you will have to undergo my final test. If you succeed, you can enter and leave this Phoenixcloud Mountain Range alone." Ji Fengying said.
The final test?
Ming Yu was confused.
Ming Yu originally thought that obtaining the Immortal Fragrant Saussurea would be the last test, but who knew that there would be another test here. Last time, Ji Fengying already gave him a 90% chance of survival, so this time, what tricks would she play?
However, even though Ming Yu thought this in his heart, he would not show it on the surface. Instead, he said: "I will do as Eldest Miss commands."
He immediately turned around and sped up, heading straight for the Phoenixcloud Mountain Range. Ming Yu also followed closely behind him. Previously, when Ming Yu was high up in the sky, he didn't feel it, but after he got closer, Ming Yu discovered the splendor of the Phoenixcloud Mountain Range.
The design of this mountain range was very particular. It was obviously very extravagant, but the size didn't seem very spacious. Occasionally, there would be two guards patrolling the mountain range, with each one situated in different parts of the Phoenixcloud Mountain Range.
However, Ming Yu didn't land on the mountain range at the moment. Instead, he followed Ji Fengying to the tallest mountain in the depths of the Phoenixcloud Mountain Range.
On top of the mountain stood a palace made of gold and jade. On it were three words: Phoenix and Cloud Residence.
This was Ji Fengying's personal palace.
This place was thousands of meters above sea level, and the clouds were very low. The stars were very close, as if one could reach them with just a hand.
Looking back at the foot of the mountain, Ming Yu discovered that not only were there bodyguards of the Core Controlling Stage, there were also some laborers with lower realms. Some of them were surrounding the huge sculpture in the clearing, and were hammering it as if they were rushing to finish it.
Some of the workers were pruning the flowers and grass, while others were scrubbing in the luxurious pavilions and doing the final cleaning …
Ming Yu could even see a group of beautiful male and female servants dancing in the open space, as if they were busy rehearsing and dancing. All of this seemed to be to win the smiles of this clan master.
All in all, the servants at the foot of the mountain had their own duties. Even though it was late in the night, they still worked overtime. It would probably take less than an hour before the busy day ended.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, Ming Yu had mixed feelings. What he saw in one glance was not only the busy laborers, but also the people on the top of the mountain, in terms of status, power, and authority!
However, Ming Yu did not dare to linger any longer. Since Ji Fengying had already entered the palace, he did not dare to delay any further and hurriedly followed her.
After passing through the palace, what Ming Yu saw was still golden splendor. Whether it was the calligraphy and paintings, the materials to the art, the height of the art, or the control of the overall effect, they were all the most magnificent things Ming Yu had ever seen in his life.
He was clearly an expert standing at the peak of the World of Dynasties, but at this moment, when he came to the Barbarian Imperial Region beacon Province, looking at the Emperor Ji Mansion, he suddenly felt as if he had just entered a city that had not been explored in a long time. He actually felt that everything was so innovative, flourishing, causing his eyes to light up.
But Ming Yu's control was very strong, even though he had already taken the Qi Concealment Pill, the Power of Star inside the Scale Nucleus had not changed.
After passing through the lobby and walking for a short while, Ming Yu followed Ji Fengying into a small spare room at the back.
Ji Fengying lazily leaned against a comfortable chair, her legs crossed. She picked up the teapot from the table and poured a cup of tea, placed the teacup in front of Ming Yu, and said, "You must be thirsty after traveling for such a long time. Drink it."
Ming Yu stood in front of Ji Fengying and carefully took the cup of tea, pouring the tea into his mouth.
He didn't know what Ji Fengying wanted him to do at the moment, but he was still trying to figure it out.
It was not long into the night. Although the laborers at the foot of the mountain were still working hard, there was no one at the top of the mountain. There was only Ji Fengying and Ming Yu.
And Ming Yu was in the side room behind the palace. It was so quiet here, but what did Ji Fengying want to do to him?
Although Ming Yu didn't know Ji Fengying's exact purpose, he could only guarantee one thing: Ji Fengying didn't want to kill him directly.
If she really wanted to kill him, she would have done so a long time ago.
As she watched Ming Yu pour the tea into his mouth, Ji Fengying smiled faintly. She rested her elbows on the armrest of the chair and pressed her jade-like fingers against the corner of her lips as she looked at Ming Yu playfully. Her phoenix-like eyes slightly curved into a charming smile, "I want to know, this Immortal Fragrant Saussurea, how did you obtain it?"
From head to toe, Lili observed Ming Yu and felt that he was only at the peak of the seventh stage of Core Controlling Stage. She found it even more interesting that he could complete the mission.
"In reply to Eldest Miss."
Ming Yu had already thought of an excuse long ago, and said: "When I first entered the Spiritual Spring Mountain, I thought that I would never be able to obtain the Immortal Fragrant Saussurea, but I never thought that when I first arrived here, I would actually see the Vicious Beast fighting with each other, causing the sky and the earth to turn dark, those Vicious Beast were truly powerful, even the aftermath of the shock was enough to cause me to feel pain in my chest, and I could only temporarily avoid it, but I know very well that if I was unable to succeed in this trip, not only will I not be able to preserve my life, the precious Snow Lotus will also not be able to be delivered to Big Miss, thus, I could only ride the Sky-Sundered Falcon into the battlefield, taking advantage of the Snow Lotus and fleeing away from the chaos."
According to the profound strength of the seventh peak, this was the most reasonable explanation.
The only explanation Ming Yu could get from the Immortal Fragrant Saussurea was that he was lucky.
"Is that true?"
"In reply to Eldest Miss, it's true."
"Interesting." Ji Fengying's eyebrows shot up slightly. "It doesn't matter if it's luck or not, you're completely different from the kittens I accepted before. I'm really looking forward to your performance. I hope you won't disappoint me, hehe …"
"What does Eldest Miss mean?"
Ming Yu asked in a probing manner. He kept having the feeling that Ji Fengying was deliberately making things up, and the way she was looking at him gave him a strange feeling that he couldn't explain it.
Ji Fengying shook her head and smiled. "It's nothing, I'm a little tired so I need to go take a shower and change my clothes. Wait here, two hours later, walk straight out of this side room." Ji Fengying shook her head and smiled.
After which, he got up, pushed open the door and left.1
At this moment, Ming Yu was truly confused.
He didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to lock onto Ji Fengying, so he could only sit in the room and watch her burn down bit by bit.
This kind of feeling made Ming Yu very uncomfortable, because everything was filled with the unknown. He clearly had the realm of the first level of the Star Swallowing Stage, and could easily enter this place, but because he was afraid that he would be like a mortal who did not dare to make any unusual movements, his body and mind inexplicably became increasingly agitated as well.
When the second candle had burnt out, Ming Yu was finally relieved. He gently opened the door and walked in the direction Ji Fengying had indicated.
Mo Yue walked fifty meters straight to the end, then turned right along the vermillion corridor and looked to the left. He found a small path, and a purple-black single-story building appeared in front of him.
Ming Yu didn't dare to use his soul consciousness to investigate everything in the house. He could only rush to the front of the house and gently open the door. Suddenly, he felt a warm and slightly fragrant water vapor drifting towards him.
This is...
Ming Yu was stunned and his body became stiff.
Earlier, Ji Fengying had said that she was going to bathe and change her clothes. However, the water in this small building was rising, and the sound of water flowed …
This, isn't that the bathroom...
