Nine Revolutions Star Transformation
Chapter 809 - 830: The Wager of Ten Million Nether Stones
Not long after, Chu Qing sent a message: "Big Brother, I’ve found Sister Jingyi and the others. They’re in an estate not far from here. Walk straight for 500 meters and then take a turn; you’ll see the estate."
Chu Linfeng smiled slightly after hearing this, "Qing’er, you’re amazing! You found their location so quickly. Thank you!"
"No need for thanks, Big Brother. This is what I’m supposed to do. You should hurry; Sister Jingyi’s situation is a bit dire right now, and she might need your help." Chu Qing said.
Immediately, Chu Linfeng quickened his pace towards the direction Chu Qing mentioned. He soon arrived in front of the estate, and after using his Divine Sense to check inside, he saw several people gathered around Lin Ruoxi, all with anxious expressions. Lin Ruoxi’s face was pale, and her eyes were closed. She was indeed severely injured.
Without hesitation, Chu Linfeng jumped over the estate’s wall and ran towards Lin Ruoxi’s room. But several guards were placed around the estate, and seeing a stranger intrude, they immediately surrounded him, not letting him leave.
At this moment, Chu Linfeng was burning with anxiety. Seeing these people surrounding him, he shouted angrily, "Move aside! I don’t have time to waste with you. If you delay me from saving her, all of you will die!"
Instantly, a terrifying killing intent emanated from Chu Linfeng, making everyone feel like they were facing a great enemy. For a moment, they didn’t know how to deal with him. At this time, the Second Elder of the Ghost Race appeared. Seeing Chu Linfeng, he was startled but quickly reacted, rushing to him and saying:
"Commandery Prince Consort, you’re finally here. We knew you’d be safe. You must go and see Miss Ruoxi; she’s too badly injured and hasn’t woken up yet."
Upon hearing the Second Elder’s words, the people surrounding Chu Linfeng immediately stepped aside. They were surprised that this young man was Princess Yiyi’s Commandery Prince Consort. It was hard to believe. Chu Linfeng, with a flash of his body, appeared in front of Lin Ruoxi’s room, opened the door, and quickly went inside. His speed left only a shadow, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
After a long pause, someone finally exclaimed, "Such speed! What kind of power does this Commandery Prince Consort have to be so formidable?"
"The Commandery Prince Consort has the power to slay experts in the Venerable Martial Realm. If it weren’t for Princess Yiyi’s sake, you’d all be dead by now. You really don’t know your own limits. Offending him will bring dire consequences," the Second Elder said before entering the room.
Those who had surrounded Chu Linfeng broke out in cold sweat. The thought of someone capable of slaying experts at the Fifth Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm was terrifying. The most crucial fact was that this person was a young man, not even twenty years old. Such a person could only be described as a monster, and a monster among monsters at that.
Upon entering, Chu Linfeng saw that aside from the Lord of the Netherworld, Princess Yiyi, and Xiao Qiang, there was also an elderly man, seemingly treating Lin Ruoxi’s injuries. However, judging by his expression, he had already done his best.
The unexpected sight of Chu Linfeng stunned the Lord of the Netherworld and Princess Yiyi. Princess Yiyi immediately threw herself into his arms, sobbing, "Lin Feng, Little Sister Ruoxi... she got hurt to save me, you must find a way to heal her!"
With a beauty in his arms, Chu Linfeng felt no different than usual. In normal times, he would have taken full advantage of the situation. Gently pushing Princess Yiyi away, he said, "Yiyi, this isn’t your fault. You need not blame yourself. Trust me, I won’t let anything happen to Ruoxi."
Seeing Chu Linfeng return safely, the Lord of the Netherworld felt a weight lifted from his heart, "Lin Feng, are you alright? What happened to the Beast King?"
"Father-in-law, let’s discuss this after I heal Ruoxi. Who is currently treating her?" Although worried about Lin Ruoxi, Chu Linfeng didn’t want to offend the healer, so he asked the Lord of the Netherworld.
"He is the most renowned physician in Qingtian City, Yao Bushi, also a dear friend of mine. I hoped he could treat Ruoxi, but her injuries are too severe. If it weren’t for a strange flame energy within her protecting her Heart Meridian, she might have already perished. Let’s hope for a miracle!" The Lord of the Netherworld said helplessly.
"Xiao Qiang, is Ruoxi really that badly injured? Where are your Miracle Elixirs? Bring them all out; I refuse to believe she can’t be saved." Chu Linfeng immediately exclaimed.
"Qingshuang, if I had any Miracle Elixirs left, I would have used them already. Ruoxi’s injuries are indeed severe. In the past, I might have been able to heal her, but now I’m out of resources. Without Spirit Medicine, there’s nothing I can do. Let’s hope Elder Yao can work a miracle!" Xiao Qiang replied with a face full of helplessness.
Then the old man glanced back at Chu Linfeng and said, "This girl’s Heart Meridian is nearly severed. There’s nothing I can do. Only a very powerful Wood Spirit Crystal might bring her back to life. Without it, even with my medical skills, it’s impossible to save her."
In fact, Chu Linfeng was fully confident he could heal Lin Ruoxi. No spirit medicine could surpass his Wood Element. The old man’s blunt words displeased him, so he said, "I don’t think so. Since Elder Yao can’t treat Ruoxi, let me do it!"
Elder Yao looked at Chu Linfeng and said, "Boy, who do you think you are to question my medical skills? In the Netherworld, my medical expertise is second to none. You say you can heal her? What a joke."
Chu Linfeng knew the man underestimated him because of his youth, but he found such arrogance grating.
"Big Brother, this kid’s Storage Ring has over twenty Netherworld Purple Orchids. You must find a way to get them," Chu Qing said.
"How do you know he has Netherworld Purple Orchids? Can you see inside his Storage Ring?" Chu Linfeng asked, surprised.
"After the Beast King gave you that empty Storage Ring, I’ve been paying attention to the kid’s ring. I could see its contents. You should seize this opportunity," Chu Qing replied.
Understanding why Chu Qing called Elder Yao a ’kid’, as a million-year-old Artifact Spirit, he had the right. With an idea forming, Chu Linfeng said to Elder Yao:
"Old man, what if I manage to heal Ruoxi? Shall we make a bet? If I heal her, you give me twenty Netherworld Purple Orchids. If I fail, I’ll give you ten million Nether Stones!"
"Twenty Netherworld Purple Orchids? Ten million Nether Stones? Kid, are you just making wild claims? Can you even produce ten million Nether Stones? Stop making a fool of yourself and leave this place!" Elder Yao said, looking down on Chu Linfeng.
However, as he said this, he seemed to recall something. The boy came in, and neither the Lord of the Netherworld nor the Commandery Princess rebuked him. In fact, they seemed very concerned. This indicated he was familiar with them. Remembering that half a year ago, the Commandery Princess took in a Commandery Prince Consort, he wondered if this boy was the one. So he asked, "Are you Princess Yiyi’s Commandery Prince Consort?"
