#168 - Strategy for the Empress

The Holy Yao Empress didn't doubt Xu Fengqiu's words.

Because she believed Lin Qingzhu wouldn't tell anyone about this matter.

And she also believed in Xu Fengqiu's intelligence and talent.

The Holy Yao Empress nodded: "The Xuanyin Palace of the Nine Heavens massacred my family many years ago, and I am the only survivor."

"For many years afterward, I lived in anonymity, concealing my identity, and cultivating diligently. During an experience, I encountered my enemy. In the heat of the moment, I went to seek revenge, but my skills were inferior, and I almost lost my life. At the same time, I was poisoned by the Ancient Heavenly Absolute Yin Poison."

The Holy Yao Empress continued to recall: "After that, I knew that it would be difficult to seek revenge with my strength alone. Through several fortunes, I ascended to the throne of the Holy Yao Empire a few years ago. However, this Ancient Heavenly Absolute Yin Poison has been troubling me all these years."

"The Ancient Heavenly Absolute Yin Poison has not taken Her Majesty's life for so many years. Her Majesty should also have means to contend with the Ancient Heavenly Absolute Yin Poison."

The Holy Yao Empress nodded: "I can't say contend, but only suppress it. By suppressing it these years, my realm can still improve, but there will eventually be a day when it erupts. Now, the Ancient Heavenly Absolute Yin Poison has already penetrated my internal organs, and it is beyond remedy."

The Holy Yao Empress looked at Xu Fengqiu: "I don't ask to survive, but only hope to avenge my hatred in the few years I have left. Afterward, I will pass the throne to Qingzhu. It's just that everything has come too quickly, and it seems some things will ultimately be difficult to achieve."

Xu Fengqiu said: "The Ancient Heavenly Absolute Yin Poison, I can try to deal with it."

The Holy Yao Empress looked at Xu Fengqiu in surprise, then she shook her head: "Even if your medical skills are superb, to dispel the Ancient Heavenly Absolute Yin Poison, one needs a Pure Yang Body. But Pure Yang Bodies, how often have they appeared in thousands of years?"

Xu Fengqiu said: "The reason I say I can dispel it is precisely because I am a Pure Yang Body."

The Holy Yao Empress: "…"

She looked at Xu Fengqiu with surprised beautiful eyes.

Xu Fengqiu then condensed a wisp of flame and flicked it slightly toward the Holy Yao Empress.

The Holy Yao Empress caught the flame in her palm and felt its Pure Yang aura.

"This…"

"Please, Your Majesty, give me your hand."

The Holy Yao Empress handed her hand to Xu Fengqiu.

Xu Fengqiu held her pulse.

At the same time, a faint warm current surged into the Holy Yao Empress's body.

At this moment, the Holy Yao Empress was certain that Xu Fengqiu was indeed a Pure Yang Body.

This warm feeling had been gone for many years.

Over the years, she had suffered from the torment of her internal meridians and organs being like frozen.

This torment made her, a powerhouse and a former top genius, even want to end her life many times.

She really couldn't bear it anymore.

This warm feeling inside her body, she hadn't felt it for many years.

At this moment, for some reason, the dignified Holy Yao Empress actually felt a slight soreness in her nose.

Perhaps only she knew the grievances of these years.

In countless deserted nights, she trembled and felt helpless.

In front of the world, she was the aloof Holy Yao Empress, and she had to maintain her unapproachable demeanor.

But only she knew her difficulties.

How many nights did she hope that she could have the companionship and comfort of her parents.

Xu Fengqiu released her hand: "In the current situation, I'm afraid it won't be a few years, at most three months."

The Holy Yao Empress came back to her senses.

She looked to the other side, calming her emotions.

"Only three months?"

"Maybe even less. In this situation, even if a Pure Yang Body is found, it will be too late."

The Holy Yao Empress was stunned for a moment.

Perhaps she also knew it.

"Thank you. In that case… there is no need for Young Master Xu to worry. The matter between the Holy Yao Empire and the Northern Underworld Empire can be forgotten. I don't have much time left."

The Holy Yao Empress sat down in a daze.

Perhaps, she would ultimately be unable to avenge this hatred.

Perhaps, she could leave it to Lin Qingzhu.

But, in the end, she could not avenge it herself.

Yes.

Life is always filled with regrets from beginning to end.

Whose life can be without regrets?

But at this moment, all the meaning and beliefs she had persisted in these years were gone.

These years, she had cultivated desperately.

From her teenage years, she had forgotten to eat and sleep. Her life was only cultivation.

She even sought fortune and opportunity at the risk of her life several times.

She had been licking blood on the edge of a knife her whole life.

That was because she had a belief. For this belief, she was willing to give her life.

But now, in the end, there was no way.

If she could live a few more years, she would even be willing to fight the Northern Underworld Empire. If she won, and her power became stronger, she could even try to attack the Xuanyin Palace to avenge her hatred.

But now, there was not much time left. Even if she won, she would not have time to attack the Xuanyin Palace.

Perhaps, in these less than three months, she could only go to the Xuanyin Palace herself.

Killing one would be a gain, killing two would be a big profit.

Xu Fengqiu said: "However, there is a way."

Xu Fengqiu's sudden words made the Holy Yao Empress's beautiful eyes flash with brilliance.

"There is a way?"

Xu Fengqiu nodded: "I should have a 90% certainty that I can completely dispel the Ancient Heavenly Absolute Yin Poison in the current situation."

"Don't say 90%, even if there is only 10%, I will try. What is the method?"

Xu Fengqiu said: "I will first refine a pill. If Your Majesty feels that this pill is effective, then we can talk further."

"What medicinal herbs do you need? I will take you to the medicine garden to get them."

Xu Fengqiu nodded: "They should all be there."

"Follow me."

The Royal Medicine Garden.

Xu Fengqiu wandered among the various natural treasures.

The Holy Yao Empress stood there nobly, the breeze blowing her hair and immortal dress.

Her gaze looked at Xu Fengqiu in the distance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, Xu Fengqiu walked over: "Let's refine the pill here."

"Very well."

The Holy Yao Empress waved her hand, and a medicine cauldron fell.

Then, Xu Fengqiu waved his hand.

Nine fire dragons whirled up.

Seeing this scene, the Holy Yao Empress was shocked.

"The legendary… Nine Dragons Incinerating Heaven Pill Refining Technique?"

She had never seen it, but according to legend, the Nine Dragons Incinerating Heaven Pill Refining Technique used nine fire dragons as pill fire for refining.

At this moment, the Holy Yao Empress, who might have been somewhat doubtful of Xu Fengqiu's medical skills, seemed to believe him.

"So Xu Fengqiu actually has such medical skills?"

She only knew that he had used poison to deal with the Medicine Sovereign Sect.

But he had never really demonstrated his medical skills.

Now that the Nine Dragons Incinerating Heaven Pill Refining Technique had been used, it could only be said that his medical skills were definitely not bad.

As a pill thunder fell.

Xu Fengqiu opened the medicine cauldron.

A burst of medicinal fragrance and natural spiritual power poured out.

Xu Fengqiu took out a red pill from it and handed it to the Holy Yao Empress.

"Thank you."

The Holy Yao Empress took it and swallowed it without hesitation.

Then a warm current entered her body.

She was shocked to find that her frozen meridians were slowly loosening.

That warm feeling… was like heavenly music.

The Holy Yao Empress sat down cross-legged.

Heat waves gradually appeared on her body.

About an hour later, she opened her beautiful eyes.

Her pupils showed a hint of orange-red.
