Chapter 934: Chapter 934: Heading to Meng Kingdom Chapter 934: Chapter 934: Heading to Meng Kingdom “Hmm, how do you feel?” Fang Lin nodded and asked with concern.
Qing Jianzi forced a bitter smile: “How could it be? I can't feel a trace of inner strength, so it seems that my cultivation is wasted.”
Fang Lin fell silent, for indeed Qing Jianzi's cultivation was wasted. It would be difficult for any martial artist to accept having their cultivation destroyed.
“I'm sorry, I'm powerless to help,” Fang Lin said, his tone carrying an apology, tinged with a hint of sorrow.
If Fang Lin possessed the cultivation of the Spirit Bone realm, perhaps he could refine a type of high-grade pills to help Qing Jianzi restore his cultivation.
But Fang Lin currently lacked the ability to refine such pills unless he entered the Spirit Bone realm.
“You've already healed my wounds. As for my cultivation, that's fate; there's nothing to be done,” Qing Jianzi said, not too dismayed, instead comforting Fang Lin.
Fang Lin looked at Qing Jianzi and said earnestly: “Although the cultivation is gone, the foundation remains. With your talent, even if you were to start over, you would not be weaker than others.”
On hearing this, Qing Jianzi paused, then his face regained some zest, laughing: “You're right. It's only the cultivation that's gone, not like I've become a useless person. At worst, I'll start over.”
Seeing that Qing Jianzi seemed to have regained his confidence, Fang Lin also felt a weight lift from his heart.
“I will prepare a batch of pills for you, to lend you a helping hand,” Fang Lin said.
Qing Jianzi nodded, then suddenly asked, “Have you made it into the third stage of the Talent Battle?”
Fang Lin replied, “I have.”
Qing Jianzi burst into laughter: “That's great! You must show your mettle then, let the talents of the Upper Three Countries know that we martial artists from the Lower Three Kingdoms are not inferior to them.”
Fang Lin laughed as well: “Of course. I've wanted to beat up those Upper Three Countries' talents for a long time.”
After a long conversation with Qing Jianzi and seeing that he hadn't been too affected by the loss of his cultivation, Fang Lin felt at ease, told him to rest well, and then left the secret chamber.
Upon arriving at the Purple Mist Great Hall, Fang Lin met with Han Luoyun and shared his intentions.
“You want to go to the Dragon Blood Pool?” Han Luoyun frowned slightly after listening.
Fang Lin nodded: “I must go there, and I hope the Sect Master can bestow upon me the token to enter the Dragon Blood Pool.”
Because the Dragon Blood Pool was enveloped by an array, without a token, one could not enter the pool and would be repelled by the array.
If one tried to force their way through, they would be attacked by the array.
The array surrounding the Dragon Blood Pool was not weak; even martial artists of the Spirit Bone realm would struggle to force their way in, let alone Fang Lin, who was merely at the Spirit Vein level.
Han Luoyun said, “The Lower Three Kingdoms have long agreed that only the victorious nation of the three-nation competition can open the Dragon Blood Pool. Even if I gave you the token, you couldn't enter the Dragon Blood Pool right now.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin was reminded of it and couldn't help feeling somewhat troubled.
“Is there no other way?” Fang Lin asked.
Han Luoyun pondered briefly: “Just one token of mine certainly won't suffice, but if you had three tokens, you could directly open the array and enter the Dragon Blood Pool.”
“Then I will obtain the other two tokens. Together with the Sect Master's token, there should be no problem,” Fang Lin stated.
Han Luoyun said, “Correct. Besides my token, Emperor Qian has one as well, which I can request from him. The Li Family also used to have one, but since they did not participate in the last tri-nation competition, their token is currently of no use. You would have to get one from Yun Country or Meng Kingdom, directly from the hands of Emperor Yun or Emperor Meng.”
Fang Lin nodded in agreement upon hearing this, it seemed that in order to enter the Dragon Blood Pool, he would have to make a trip to either Yun Country or Meng Kingdom.
“If you try to negotiate nicely with them, it definitely won't work; we have no choice but to make a forceful grab,” Han Luoyun said, his eyes fixed on Fang Lin.
Fang Lin smiled, “I was thinking the same thing.”
With Fang Lin's current strength, he could travel to either Yun Country or Meng Kingdom, and even if it meant snatching something from the hands of Emperor Yun and Emperor Meng, he was fairly confident he could do so.
“Do not be complacent, whether you go to Yun Country or Meng Kingdom, you must proceed with caution. If it doesn't work out, retreat in time and think of another plan,” Han Luoyun admonished.
Fang Lin hummed in affirmation, “I plan to make a trip to Meng Kingdom.”
Han Luoyun replied, “Then I will go and request the Token from Emperor Qian. After I have obtained it, you can set out.”
Thereupon, Han Luoyun contacted Emperor Qian, Yang Jianye, via a Jade Slip. After explaining the situation, Emperor Qian did not make any excuses and agreed to lend the Token to Fang Lin.
“Take a trip to Qian Capital, and pay a visit to Emperor Qian,” Han Luoyun said to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin nodded, bid farewell to Han Luoyun, and returned to his own courtyard, where he found Dugu Nian practicing the Triple Dragon Fire Refining.
However, by the looks of it, Dugu Nian didn't seem to be making much progress and appeared to be very troubled.
“Come with me, let's go have some fun,” Fang Lin said.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Nian's spirits immediately lifted, “Where are we going to play?”
Fang Lin smiled, “Just follow me.”
The two of them then left the Purple Mist Sect and headed for Qian Capital, entering the imperial city and meeting with Emperor Qian.
After some pleasantries, Yang Jianye gave the Token to Fang Lin.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Fang Lin bowed with a clasped hands salute, now with two Tokens in hand, he only needed one more to enter the Dragon Blood Pool.
Yang Jianye looked at Fang Lin and said, “To obtain the third Token, you must go to Meng Kingdom or Yun Country, be extremely careful. The Yun royal family has a profound background, and the Meng royal family is closely connected with Poison Pill Masters, neither are easy to contend with.”
Fang Lin nodded, “I already have plans in place and intend to make a trip to Meng Kingdom.”
Yang Jianye looked at Fang Lin's Pill Refiner robe and the badge of a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner, and couldn't help but smile and said, “I had almost forgotten, you are already a Master of Pill. Going to the Meng royal family, in fact, you can use this identity to your advantage.”
Indeed, Fang Lin was already a Master of Pill, and since the Poison Pill Masters were also part of the Pill Alliance, with the identity of a Master of Pill, Fang Lin should be able to intimidate those Poison Pill Masters, and the Meng royal family wouldn't dare act recklessly.
Leaving Qian Capital, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian headed straight for Meng Kingdom.
Because a great change had occurred in that mountainous region, Fang Lin didn't plan to pass through there, so he and Dugu Nian took a slight detour instead.
Although it took a bit more time, this decision was undoubtedly a wise one.
Meng Kingdom, among the Lower Three Kingdoms, is a relatively closed and xenophobic country, almost having no contact with Yun Country or Qian Country.
The reason was simply that within Meng Kingdom, many Poison Pill Masters had gathered, their influence even subtly affecting the royal family.
Poison Pill Masters are very secretive and prefer not to attract too much attention, hence under their influence, Meng Kingdom gradually became a closed nation.
