Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Izumo King fell silent for a moment, then looked up at Ling Mo Xie and sighed, "Alright! Follow me!"
After saying that, he walked out.
Upon hearing Izumo King's words, Ling Mo Xie felt a bit surprised. Since Izumo King was willing to let him help, it meant that he had at least forgiven him to some extent. Moreover, there was progress regarding the information about Azure Cloud Valley.
Thus, Ling Mo Xie hurriedly followed him, while Hong Chi rolled his eyes and had no choice but to follow as well.
Soon, the two arrived at the Palace with Izumo King. This was a temporary command center set up in the palace, with a large map hanging above.
Although this map was actually not very useful—Cultivators had excellent memories and could remember places they had been to after just one visit—any random Cultivator's mental map would likely be clearer than the one hanging on the wall.
"Look!" Izumo King pointed at the map and said to Ling Mo Xie, "These cities are all under attack by Feng Qian Guo's soldiers. Many cities can no longer hold out. After all, our Izumo Kingdom's resources are not as abundant as Feng Qian Guo's, and many supplies are lagging behind."
Ling Mo Xie listened to Izumo King's words and looked up at the map, frowning. There were quite a few cities marked with red circles on the map, almost densely packed together. It seemed that Feng Qian Guo was preparing to fight separately before finally converging for a full assault on the capital!
It took absolute confidence to adopt such a strategy!
"What can I do to help?" Ling Mo Xie turned to Izumo King and asked, then continued, "I must clarify first that the Beast Tide in Spirit City is not replicable!"
"Haha!" Izumo King laughed heartily and said, "Tell me, what are your advantages?"
"My advantages?" Upon hearing Izumo King's words, Ling Mo Xie frowned. What advantages did he have?
He was merely at the Separation Stage; this level of cultivation was common in the Izumo team. On the battlefield, he might not even be able to perform as well as those professional soldiers!
Thinking this way made Ling Mo Xie feel somewhat dejected. Yes, he had said he wanted to protect Izumo Kingdom, but what ability did he have to safeguard Izumo Kingdom?
In Spirit City, if it weren't for Chen Yan, I would have probably become a corpse on the battlefield.
Izumo King noticed Ling Mo Xie lost in thought and frowned, saying, "What's wrong? Can you really forget? You are known as the Little Pill King, an Alchemist!"
Hearing Izumo King's words, a spark flashed in Ling Mo Xie's eyes. That's right! When Izumo King asked about his advantages earlier, he hadn't thought of the System's Alchemical Furnace. Now that he thinks about it, his greatest advantage is indeed the System! Of course, it also includes the System's Alchemy Room!
"Haha! Sorry, I didn't think of that! Do you want me to refine an Elixir?" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily and turned to Izumo King.
"I thought you were unwilling to help Izumo Kingdom!" Izumo King glanced at Ling Mo Xie and said.
Then his expression became serious, and he earnestly said to Ling Mo Xie: "Yes! I hope you can refine a batch of Healing Elixirs and Stimulating Potential Pills for the Izumo Kingdom Soldier. I heard that you developed a new type of potential-enhancing Elixir when you were in Skywind City."
"I think that one is quite good and very suitable for use in war. You can go to the Treasury to retrieve any necessary Spiritual Medicine!"
As soon as Izumo King finished speaking, a "ding!" sound echoed in Ling Mo Xie's ears.
"Ding, congratulations! You have accepted the side Task: Elixir Master! Please proceed to the Mission Board to check the details of the Task!"
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback; this could also trigger a Task?
He quickly shifted his focus to the Task board, and sure enough, that side Task appeared on the board.
Side Task:
Elixir Master! Task content: Help Izumo Kingdom, refine 10,000 each of Fury Pills and Small Blood Bottles.
Task Tip: Do you feel that the Alchemy Room level is too low and the refining time is too long? The Izumo Kingdom has a Sixth-Level Alchemy Formula. Please refine a sixth-level Elixir to promote the upgrade of the Alchemy Room!
Task Reward: One Seven Divine Pill, one Return Token of the Daoist Sect, and the title of Elixir Master.
There are no penalties for failure.
After reading the details of the Task, Ling Mo Xie nodded. This time, the System was quite considerate, reminding him to upgrade the Alchemy Room.
He had wanted to upgrade the Alchemy Room for a long time. When he was refining the Qingyuan Pill in the refuge camp in Skywind City, he felt that the refining time was too long and he could only refine one bottle at a time, which was very inconvenient.
This time, helping the Izumo Kingdom refine the Elixir, if it were still like that, by the time he refined ten thousand Elixirs, the war would probably be over!
"How is it?" At this moment, the Izumo King asked Ling Mo Xie.
Hearing the inquiry from the Izumo Kingdom, Ling Mo Xie chuckled and said, "Of course, it's no problem. However..."
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie say "however," the expression of the Izumo King darkened. Could it be that this kid had some other demands? He hoped he wouldn't push his luck!
With a somewhat unfriendly expression, he looked at Ling Mo Xie and asked, "What, do you have any other requests?"
Seeing the expression of the Izumo King, Ling Mo Xie smiled awkwardly and said, "I heard that the Izumo Kingdom has a sixth-level Elixir Dan Fang? If I could refine a sixth-level Elixir, my Alchemy would improve significantly, and then refining other Elixirs would be much faster."
After speaking, Ling Mo Xie looked at the Izumo King with some trepidation. After all, a sixth-level Dan Fang could be considered a treasure among treasures. For a country like the Izumo Kingdom, it should be extremely precious!
How could the Izumo King possibly give it to someone who had harmed his daughter? Even thinking about it himself felt unlikely. However, if he didn't ask the Izumo King for this Dan Fang, by the time he refined a large batch of small red and Fury Pills, it would probably be too late.
However, to Ling Mo Xie's surprise, upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Izumo King's gloomy expression vanished, and he burst into laughter, saying, "I thought it was something serious! So you want the Dragon Blood Divine Pill's Dan Fang! No problem!"
Hearing Izumo King's straightforward response, Ling Mo Xie was momentarily stunned, his mind going blank. What was going on?
Wasn't this much smoother than he had expected?
Izumo King seemed to notice Ling Mo Xie's astonishment and said to him, "If you were asking for something else, I would have to think about it. As for this Dragon Blood Divine Pill, although it's a high-level Elixir and quite precious, our Izumo Kingdom hasn't had a Sixth-Level Alchemist in countless years. This Dan Fang has just been sitting here as decoration. Since you say you can refine it, I'm more than happy to hand over this Dan Fang, so that's not an issue."
Upon hearing Izumo King's explanation, Ling Mo Xie finally understood and nodded in relief.
However, Izumo King suddenly said to Ling Mo Xie, "But don't be too happy just yet; after all, it's a sixth-level Elixir. Many essential Spiritual Medicines are not even in the Treasury of the Izumo Kingdom, let alone the two main ingredients."
Ling Mo Xie frowned and then said firmly, "If they aren't available, then I'll find them! I refuse to believe I can't refine this sixth-level Elixir!"
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's determined expression, Izumo King couldn't help but nod and said, "Alright! I can help you find other Spiritual Medicines, but as for the two main ingredients, I really can't help you with that; you'll have to figure it out yourself!"
Hearing Izumo King's words, Ling Mo Xie gratefully nodded and asked, "Then please tell me what these two main ingredients are? I will definitely find them!"
Izumo King, however, shook his head and said, "These two main ingredients are not easy to find."
Seeing the hopeful look on Ling Mo Xie's face, Izumo King sighed and said, "One of them is called Dragon Snake Grass. This grass only grows on damp cliffs by the sea. After its seeds fall into the soil, they only sprout when a snake with a Dragon Vein passes by. What you're looking for is the Dragon Snake Grass that has nine leaves!"
"By the sea?" Ling Mo Xie was taken aback and said blankly. Ever since he crossed over, he had never seen the sea in this world!
"Yes!" Izumo King nodded and said, "Izumo Kingdom is an inland country without a sea. And that's just the first difficulty; compared to the later requirements for growing the Dragon Snake Grass, this is nothing."
"Then, please tell me, where is the sea?" Ling Mo Xie asked after a moment of surprise, thinking that even if it was a bit far, with Xiao Peng's speed, they should be able to reach it quickly.
"Are you really planning to go?" Izumo King said in surprise. Although he had already agreed to help Ling Mo Xie prepare other necessary Spiritual Medicines, he thought that once Ling Mo Xie heard about these difficulties, he would back down.
"Of course! I said I would refine this Elixir, so I must refine it!" Ling Mo Xie nodded and said.
Hong Chi looked up at the determined Ling Mo Xie and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes! The boss always follows through on his words!"
"Alright, this is a map centered around Izumo Kingdom with a radius of one hundred thousand miles. There is an ocean marked on it," Izumo King said as he took out an ancient scroll from his Storage Ring and tossed it to Ling Mo Xie.
"Since you are so persistent, it seems I must also give my all!" Izumo King sighed and said, "The second main ingredient is even rarer than the first; it must be Dragon Blood from a True Dragon within ten generations!"
After speaking, Izumo King shook his head and looked at Ling Mo Xie, saying, "Do you still want to persist? This is almost impossible. Although there are many Spirit Beasts with Dragon Veins, those within ten generations are almost all powerful figures in the Cultivation World!"
Upon hearing Izumo King's explanation of the second main ingredient, Ling Mo Xie, who had initially looked tense and serious, relaxed slightly under Izumo King's astonished gaze.
True Dragon bloodline within ten generations? If it were any other type, it might not be too hard to find, but this...
Ling Mo Xie glanced at the unconscious Chen Yan in his arms. Wasn't this hard to find? Although Chen Yan wasn't true Dragon Blood lineage, she had the Ancestral Dragon bloodline, which was even more impressive than True Dragon and was also a second generation!
This was simply too fitting for the conditions!
