Chapter 559: Chapter 557: Little Chicken Phoenix

"Peak Lord Ji is right."

"I’m a Sixth Grade Alchemist, and I often go to the Holy Medicine Palace to purchase Spirit Medicines."

"That’s right. The disciples of our peaks still need Elixirs to aid their Cultivation."

"We absolutely cannot do without Spirit Pills."

After Peak Lord Ji Shuqing spoke, all the Peak Lords voiced their agreement.

The Holy Medicine Palace was vital to the Taiqing Sacred Land’s reserve of Spirit Medicines.

Qi Wansheng then turned to Su Qing. "Elder Su, what are your thoughts?"

"I have no intention of getting involved. This matter does not concern my interests. You may proceed as you see fit."

Su Qing had no desire to meddle in the affairs of Spirit Medicines.

Any Spirit Medicine Seeds Su Qing bought would almost certainly grow, and his resources were so vast that not even this entire continent, or even this entire world, could compare.

Qi Wansheng frowned, sitting in the main seat, lost in thought for a long time.

"We will mobilize. We’ll save the Holy Medicine Palace, and after they are rescued, we will demand their methods for cultivating Spirit Medicine. The Taiqing Sacred Land cannot continue to purchase half of its Spirit Medicines from the Holy Medicine Palace."

"Once this is over, I will establish a new peak called Celestial Medicine Peak, which will be responsible for growing Spirit Medicines."

"All of you are dismissed. Prepare the disciples."

"Yes."

"Those who should contribute, must contribute. Otherwise, when the time comes to divide the spoils, those who put in less effort will get no benefits."

Qi Wansheng said coolly.

He knew some Peak Lords wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Su Qing left the main peak’s grand hall.

「Zuyang Peak, Grand Hall.」

Su Qing summoned Zhang Baiyuan.

"Peak Lord."

"News from the main peak. A decision was just reached in the discussion. We are to provide aid to the Holy Medicine Palace. The more effort we contribute, the greater our share of the spoils will be. If we don’t contribute, we’ll get less, or perhaps nothing at all."

"For you juniors, this could be an opportunity."

"Pass this down and make your own decision. I will not involve myself in this matter."

Zhang Baiyuan’s expression faltered, his face growing solemn. "Yes, I will discuss this with the other Elders of the peak at once."

Zhang Baiyuan hurried away.

Su Qing returned to his own residence.

He steeped tea in his tea room, savoring it slowly.

’The Pure Evil Flame seems very powerful. Even Ninth Realm Cultivators can’t get rid of it.’

’The sense of crisis I felt back then was probably because the Pure Evil Flame cannot be dispelled.’

’The power of a Rule is truly on another level.’

Su Qing mused to himself. His Poison Absorption Body alone had already helped him immensely.

’Would it be even better if I assimilated another Standardization?’

’But fusing with a Standardization might be very time-consuming.’

At his current stage, Su Qing still wouldn’t choose to fuse with a Standardization.

For Su Qing at his current stage, it was more trouble than it was worth.

All he needed to do was consume poisons. Su Qing only needed to consider how to create a Great Thousand World...

Throughout the Taiqing Sacred Land, numerous Cultivators were mobilized.

They boarded Flying Ships and set off for the Holy Medicine Palace.

Su Qianyou came out. "Brother."

"What are the Flying Ships for?"

"To help the Holy Medicine Palace clean up some Demon Cultivators," Su Qing said with a smile.

"I want to go too."

"You want to go too?"

Su Qing glanced at the Flying Ships, which were already distant.

Su Qing smiled faintly. "How about you go next time there’s a chance like this?"

"Okay, then I’ll go next time."

"Can I go out to train and gain experience?"

"Of course. It’s not like I restrict your movements." Su Qing gave Su Qianyou a surprised look.

Su Qianyou’s words made it sound like Su Qing was some kind of villain who kept girls imprisoned.

"Then I’d like to go out for a while."

"No problem. Be careful." Su Qing nodded. With the Pure Evil Flame protecting her, he wasn’t worried about Su Qianyou’s safety at all.

Su Qianyou flew away.

Things grew quiet on Su Qing’s end as well.

「One month later.」

With help from all sides, the Holy Medicine Palace successfully repelled the Demon Sect’s onslaught and survived.

However, they had also suffered miserably.

They were now indebted to all the various factions, owing them favors and corresponding compensation.

"Brother, I’m back." Su Qianyou had returned as well.

She came to Su Qing’s tea room to greet him.

Su Qing could only smile dotingly. "You only went to the Holy Medicine Palace. Why did you have to go in secret?"

"Huh?"

"You knew, Brother?"

"Of course I knew."

"As long as you’re safe, it’s fine."

Su Qing said, resigned.

’This girl is starting to hide things from me now. Is this really related to her Pure Goodness?’

Hiding things had nothing to do with Pure Goodness.

He didn’t know how Su Qianyou’s Pure Goodness was connected to it all.

"It’s been so long since I’ve had the delicious food you make, Brother."

"I want some."

"Mm, alright. I’ll make you something good to eat," Su Qing said with a smile.

He casually prepared a meal of four dishes and a soup.

The air was thick with the homey smell of cooking. Su Qianyou watched Su Qing for a long time before she started to eat.

"I made a friend."

"That’s a good thing." Su Qing nodded. ’Given Su Qianyou’s appearance, being able to make a friend is truly a good thing.’

"It’s on my hand!" Su Qianyou held out her hand, revealing a Phoenix totem on it.

Su Qing drew out the Phoenix power from within it.

It actually turned into a small, five-colored chicken.

"CLUCK CLUCK?"

"This is my friend." Su Qianyou picked up the little chicken with one hand.

When Su Qing’s gaze fell upon it, the five-colored chicken shrank back fearfully into Su Qianyou’s palm.

"A little Phoenix is nice too. I thought you had made a human friend, Qianyou."

"Its bloodline isn’t pure. This could be an opportunity, but it could also be a limitation. It will all depend on how you can help it." Su Qing withdrew his gaze.

"It’s okay! Even if it’s not powerful, I’ll still take care of it!"

"It’s so cute!"

Su Qianyou ruffled the chick’s short feathers.

But her words left the little chick stunned in place. ’Even if it’s not powerful, I’ll still take care of it.’

The little chick... the Phoenix, was moved to tears.

’Qianyou, do you have any idea what a psychological shock those words are to a little chick... no, to a fallen Phoenix in the Immortal Cultivation Realm?’

’Every Cultivator would hope for you to become a Phoenix, yet you say you’ll take care of me even if I don’t.’

The little chick didn’t resist Su Qianyou’s touch, standing dazedly in the palm of her hand.

Su Qing let out a snort of laughter. He hadn’t expected this little Phoenix to have such thoughts.

’Indeed.’

’In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, a Phoenix is born extraordinary. A fallen Phoenix is worse than a chicken.’

’Let alone meeting someone like Su Qianyou.’

’It seems this little chick is quite fortunate.’

Su Qianyou gave a bit of food from the table to the little chick, then started eating again herself.

"You touched the chicken. Wash your hands before you eat again."

"It’s not dirty!"

"I don’t think so!" Su Qing said sternly.

The little chick also got angry on the side. ’I’m a Phoenix, you know!’

’Do you even understand what a Phoenix is!’

’How could a Phoenix be dirty!’

The little chick grumbled in its heart.

Su Qing just found it amusing.

This Phoenix was fated to be with Qianyou.

"Eat your food."

Su Qing began to eat as well. The dishes were always changing; every time he cooked, he would add a bit of his own creativity, just to see if a new recipe tasted good.

They ate and drank their fill.

Su Qianyou went back to her Cultivation.

Before Su Qing could begin his own Cultivation,

Zhang Baiyuan came looking for him.

"Peak Lord, our Zuyang Peak went to aid in the battle and obtained a great deal of resources."

"How should they be allocated?"

"The disciples and Elders who went to battle will get the lion’s share. The remaining resources will be distributed throughout the Zuyang Peak Marketplace to supply the disciples who need them."

"That is how they will be allocated. We cannot disappoint the disciples who went to fight."

"What were the casualties?"

"249 were injured, and 37 died."

"Give special consideration to the families of the deceased disciples. As for the injured, they can use their share of Spirit Medicines to recover. If their portion isn’t enough to heal them, then it’s no longer our concern."

"They will all receive the Spirit Medicines they’ve earned, but Zuyang Peak cannot be expected to absorb their losses."

"They chose this path, so they shouldn’t regret it. And if they do, my Zuyang Peak is not some grand benefactor that will restore their bodies for them."

Su Qing thought for a moment. "Distribute it just like that."

"Yes."
