Chapter 1973: Want to Buy Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit! Contact Qiu Yunxin! The Royal Clan’s Uprising!
Chen Yinlong had no idea what was going on in Mu Jinyu’s head or how his mindset had changed. After he took the Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit that Mu Jinyu handed him, he was downright delighted, grinning so wide his mouth could hardly close.
Seeing his expression, Mu Jinyu thought for a moment, then flipped his hand and took out a small chunk of Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow. "This is Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow. There’s not much of it, but it’s still somewhat useful. You take it too."
"Wow... thank you, thank you... thank you, Senior Mu!"
When Chen Yinlong saw Mu Jinyu produce yet another kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could increase Bloodline concentration, his eyes instantly burst with dazzling light; he was so excited he could barely contain himself.
The only pity was that this Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow really was a bit small, only about the size of a fist.
If you compared the effect of this bit of Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow to the medicinal power of the Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit, it was probably only equivalent to a single small bite of the fruit’s flesh.
It might even be inferior.
But after that trace of regret in his heart, Chen Yinlong quickly felt content again.
After all, what Mu Jinyu had originally said was that he would give him one Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could increase Bloodline concentration, yet what he had actually given was a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the grade of a Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit. That was already more than enough of a pleasant surprise.
Now there was even a fist-sized piece of Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow as a bonus; how could he still feel disappointed or dissatisfied?
His mentality was actually quite well-adjusted.
"Mm, focus on your Cultivation. Strive to break through your Cultivation as soon as possible so you can become an Intermediate Student early too!"
After Mu Jinyu handed over the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow he had gotten from Chen Qinglian, he had nothing else he could give Chen Yinlong, so he could only encourage him with a few words, then left Cave Heaven Eleven.
"Mm, I’ll work hard. I won’t let you down!"
Watching Mu Jinyu leave, Chen Yinlong clenched his fists, a lofty passion rising in his chest as he spoke.
After Mu Jinyu left Cave Heaven Eleven, for a moment he didn’t know what he should do.
Continue to Cultivate?
He had already Cultivated to the Life and Death Realm; continuing to Cultivate probably wouldn’t improve much.
So he could only wait for people from those two Royal clans to come again?
That felt like far too much of a waste of time.
Then Mu Jinyu remembered that Chu Huannian was also preparing to self-sever his Foreign Race Bloodline and walk the Humanity Path together with them. However, he currently didn’t have any other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on hand that could increase Bloodline concentration.
So he thought about it and felt that perhaps he could go ask Qiu Yunxin whether she would be willing to sell him one of the five Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruits she had.
If so, then in the future, after Chu Huannian self-severed his Foreign Race Bloodline, he wouldn’t be left weak from losing too much Exotic Blood. He could immediately take a Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit and recover.
"Mm, I’ll ask and see."
Mu Jinyu felt a bit awkward. Back in that Phoenix Tree Forest, Qiu Yunxin had said she only needed one or two Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruits and the rest could go to him, but he had refused. Now he had just come back from there not long ago, yet he wanted to go find her to buy one Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit—this really was a bit embarrassing.
The main reason was that at the time, Mu Jinyu didn’t understand and thought the Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit was already useless to him; he only wanted it to give to Chen Yinlong.
Of course, he hadn’t only taken one or two Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruits because of that; he had also left himself some leeway, thinking that if it turned out to be useful for him as well, then with exactly four Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruits left, he and Chu Huannian plus the other two girls could each have one.
But in the end, one Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit was given to Ji Wudao.
Mu Jinyu didn’t regret giving it to this senior at all; after all, it was he who had saved his life.
But because one had been given to Ji Wudao, he was now one short on his side.
He had originally planned to have Chu Huannian take one Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit himself, while Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huaxiu would share one between the two of them.
But since Chu Huannian didn’t want to take it right now, he simply let Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huaxiu each take one.
Handled like that, it was actually already pretty good, but Mu Jinyu ultimately didn’t want Chu Huannian to get the short end of the stick.
"I’ll contact Qiu Yunxin."
Mu Jinyu took out his Identity Plaque and went to contact Qiu Yunxin.
He hadn’t originally had Qiu Yunxin’s contact information, but since the two of them had done a mission together, his Identity Plaque had kept Qiu Yunxin’s Communication Rune, which allowed him to get in touch with her.
[Where are you right now? Have you returned to Dongyue Mansion?]
Mu Jinyu used his Identity Plaque to send Qiu Yunxin a message, just like sending a text.
Not long after that message was sent, the Identity Plaque in his hand vibrated lightly.
Mu Jinyu was a bit surprised; he’d thought Qiu Yunxin wouldn’t reply so quickly, that she might still be in Cultivation.
He glanced down and read the message Qiu Yunxin had sent.
[I’m in Shiling Town near Donghua City. Dongyue Mansion seems to be locked down; I can’t get back in, so I went home first...]
After reading this message, Mu Jinyu thought for a moment, then stated his purpose directly: [I want to buy one Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit from you. Are you willing to sell?]
[Sure. No need to buy it, I’ll just give it to Senior Mu.] Qiu Yunxin replied.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu didn’t get tangled up on buying versus gifting and directly said: [I’ll come find you!]
[Okay! Do you want me to come pick you up, Senior?]
Qiu Yunxin asked.
[No need, I know where Shiling Town is. Just wait for me there.]
Mu Jinyu replied.
After that, Qiu Yunxin sent back an "okay." Mu Jinyu didn’t reply again, instead preparing to head out and make a trip to buy a Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit from Qiu Yunxin!
But when he reached the Teleportation Platform leading outside Donghua City, he was stopped by several Institute Heads.
"Don’t go out. The people from the Ji and Yaao Imperial Clans will probably arrive soon. If you go out, it’ll be very dangerous. We’re also getting ready to activate the ultimate Mansion Defense Array!"
One Institute Head called out to Mu Jinyu.
"I’m just going out for a bit, to Shiling Town. I’ll be back soon," Mu Jinyu said.
"Shiling Town, huh..."
The several Institute Heads hesitated briefly after hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, but since it really was close, they agreed to let him go out.
"Remember to go and come back quickly. Don’t delay too long."
The Institute Heads reminded him.
"Mm." Mu Jinyu nodded in agreement, then activated the Teleportation Array Platform.
In a hazy shimmer of light, his figure disappeared from before their eyes.
...
Ji Imperial Clan territory.
At this moment the atmosphere was oppressively tense and nerve-wracking.
Like terrifying dark clouds before a storm!
"Damn it, why haven’t the Patriarch Ancestors awakened from their slumber yet?!"
Within the Ji Clan, a middle-aged man walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face filled with uncontrollable rage.
He was Ji Haoran’s cousin. His Cultivation was only at the Early Creation Realm, so he had not gone with Ji Haoran and the others to attack Dongyue Mansion.
And just a short while ago, when all the Life medallions of the clan elders who had gone to Dongyue Mansion shattered in the Ji Family Clan Land where they were stored...
He knew then that something had gone terribly wrong this time.
The Clan Leader and the others’ action to attack Dongyue Mansion had definitely failed.
Yet what he hadn’t expected even more was that not long after, even the Life medallion of Clan Leader Ji Haoran shattered as well!
Instantly, the entire atmosphere in the Ji Clan changed.
It became filled with terror, fury, unease, and despair!
Afterward, with all the clan elders and the Clan Leader dead, he counted as someone with relatively high prestige in the clan. He temporarily took over the Clan Leader’s position and first went to contact the Yaao Clan to see what their situation was.
He discovered that the people the Yaao Clan had sent to Dongyue Mansion had likewise all perished; even the Yaao Clan’s Clan Leader met the same end.
He immediately reacted, guessing that that Zhao Donglai earlier hadn’t been kindly urging them to kill Mu Jinyu at all, but had been setting up a trap to massacre them.
So he began to focus on investigating Zhao Donglai.
Only to discover that Zhao Donglai was actually an Institute Head of Dongyue Mansion!
Thus the situation became very clear: this was a scheme by Dongyue Mansion targeting their Royal clans!
Filled with rage, the man didn’t hesitate to head straight to the deepest part of their clan land, to awaken those clan elders and former Clan Leaders of generations past who slumbered deep beneath the clan!
To have them come out and uphold justice for the Ji Imperial Clan!
Those in slumber were the very foundation of their Royal clan!
