Chapter 12

The Fire State was one of the 3,000 mystical states of the Huangtian Mystic Realm.

Its area was far smaller than the Emperor State, where the Jun family was located. It was only one percent of the Emperor State.

However, even if it was only one percent of the Emperor State, the Fire State was still a vast Taoist State.

In the Fire Province, there were not many forces standing tall and strong.

The Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix was the one that ruled the entire Fire State.

The Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix was an ancient force with a long history. While it was not as powerful as the Clan of the Ancients, it was still a force with a deep heritage and a reputation.

Other than the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, there were also the Ancient Kingdom of Azure Dragon, the Ancient Kingdom of White Tiger, and the Ancient Kingdom of Black Tortoise.

The four great ancient kingdoms were collectively known as the Four Quadrants.

At that moment, in a magnificent hall in the royal palace of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

A middle-aged man dressed in a crimson-gold robe was lying on the bed. His glabella was dark and his aura was weak. It was as if he was seriously ill and his life was hanging by a thread.

He was the king of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

A beautiful woman stood beside the bed.

She wore a red feather robe. Her figure was slim, her legs were long, and her skin was snowy white.

Her long red hair looked like dancing flames.

Her beautiful eyes were a beautiful crimson color. Her nose was high, her lips were bright red, and her teeth were crystal clear.

In particular, there was a little cinnabar between her eyebrows. Together with her jade-like face, she appeared even more beautiful and charming.

That woman was the princess of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, Bai Yu 'er.

"Father, I will find the Elixir of Immortality and save you," Bai Yu 'er bit her lip and said.

"Yu 'er, it's been hard on you. The Elixir of Immortality can't be forced …" The king of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix shook his head slightly. His voice was extremely weak and filled with despair.

The Elixir of Immortality was extremely rare.

Even the Supreme Orthodoxies and immortal forces did not have much stock of it.

It was even more impossible for them to be so kind as to give it to the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

While the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix had a strong foundation and had many top-notch sacred medicines, they did not have a single Elixir of Immortality.

After all, the appearance of any Elixir of Immortality would cause a bloodbath in the outside world. People would fight over it, so how could they sell it to others?

"Don't worry, father. With my abilities, I will definitely be able to get the Elixir of Immortality!" Bai Yu 'er's eyes were filled with determination, turning her grief into strength.

Who was she?

She was the princess of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix. There was Divine Fire between her eyebrows.

Not to mention, her appearance was one of the best in the Huangtian Mystic Realm.

Many young geniuses from various forces were Bai Yu'er's bootlickers.

As a result, Bai Yu 'er developed a somewhat noble and aloof personality.

She believed that she would be able to save her father and the entire Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

"The young geniuses of those factions are all trash. When we need them, they can't even take out the Elixir of Immortality."

"And then there's my fiancé, Xiao Chen. Even though he's the First Prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon, he couldn't get a single stalk of the Immortality Herb."

Bai Yu'er walked out of the palace with a solemn face.

A few years after her father's accident, the power of the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird declined steadily.

After that, the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon came to propose a marriage alliance.

At that time, the Ancient Kingdom of Azure Dragon promised to give the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird a stalk of Immortality Herb.

Bai Yu'er and Xiao Chen, the eldest prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon, had known each other since they were young. Although they had always kept a distance from each other, they were still childhood sweethearts.

After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, Bai Yu'er finally agreed.

However, after such a long time, the Elixir of Immortality was still nowhere to be found even though the engagement had been set.

Furthermore, the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird was currently in a weakened state, and they were unable to ask the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon for it.

As such, Bai Yu'er could only rely on herself to find the Elixir of Immortality.

"What should I do? Father can't fall …" Bai Yu'er could not help but feel anxious.

"Oh right, how come I almost forgot about that bestie of mine, Jun Linglong?" Bai Yu'er suddenly recalled.

She once ran into Jun Linglong in a secret realm, and the two of them got along quite well.

Although they did not contact each other much after that, Jun Linglong's personality meant that she would not just ignore her friend.

Furthermore, the Jun family definitely had the Elixir of Immortality.

Bai Yu'er's breath quickened at that thought. She quickly took out a jade scroll and sent a message.

On the other hand, Jun Linglong received the message in the side hall of the Jun family's Heavenly Emperor Palace.

"The King of Vermilion Bird is seriously ill, and he needs the Elixir of Immortality to treat him?" Jun Linglong frowned slightly after receiving the message.

Truth be told, she would have almost forgotten about her bestie if it were not for Bai Yu'er's message.

Bai Yu'er was the princess of an ancient nation, and her status was noble.

However, Jun Linglong was even more of a proud daughter of the Clan of the Ancients.

Although she was now Jun Xiaoyao's maid, she was still the princess of the Jun family who was highly sought after by everyone in the outside world.

"Asking for the Elixir of Immortality as soon as she opened her mouth. She sure is greedy. However, I do know her after all." Jun Linglong frowned slightly.

The problem was that she did not have the Elixir of Immortality.

At that moment, a voice transmission was heard in Jun Linglong's mind through her soul.

"Linglong, make some tea."

Jun Linglong hurriedly got up. It was Jun Xiaoyao asking her to make tea.

In a steaming pool filled with divine Qi, Jun Xiaoyao was half-naked. His body looked like it was carved out of divine jade, and it was glowing.

Jun Xiaoyao, who was already eight years old, was tall and slender.

Jun Linglong entered from the side and handed a cup of Enlightenment Tea to Jun Xiaoyao.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao gradually growing up and becoming more and more handsome, Jun Linglong had the illusion that she was growing up to be a shota.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Jun Xiaoyao took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"Nothing." Jun Linglong's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

"Tell me. Do you think you can hide it from me?" Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled.

Jun Linglong bit her lip slightly. In the end, she told him about Bai Yu'er.

"I see. The Elixir of Immortality, huh? I don't lack it." Jun Xiaoyao shrugged.

Back at the Old Tablet of Taiyue, he obtained three Elixirs of Immortality. Later, the Eighteenth Ancestor gave him five more.

Jun Xiaoyao had only refined three Elixirs of Immortality over the years, so there were five left.

"Since she's your best friend, I don't mind giving her one. Tell her to come over." Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand and said.

"You're giving it to her just like that?" Jun Linglong was slightly stunned.

She really didn't understand the world of tycoons!

However, Jun Linglong still nodded slightly and replied to Bai Yu'er.

Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled into a faint smile.

Naturally, he didn't want to be a nice guy. He had his own thoughts and plans.

The light of the righteous path should be left to the pillars of the righteous path.

The image of a saint didn't suit him at all.

Besides, although Jun Xiaoyao didn't care about the Elixir of Immortality, he wasn't generous enough to give it away.

"Those sequences of the Jun family not only have the support of various lineages, but they also have vassal orthodoxies."

"Even Jun Zhanjian has the Ancient Sword Sect and other vassal forces behind him."

Those vassal forces didn't submit to the Jun family, but to an individual.

"The Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix might have been weakened in recent years, but a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. I can take them in. Who knows, I might be able to take the other three ancient kingdoms as my vassal forces as well."

Jun Xiaoyao was calculating in his mind.

He was Sequence Zero after all. If he didn't have any vassal forces behind him, it would be rather unsightly.

He still had to have the cards he needed.

As for Bai Yu'er, there was no way he would let her get the Elixir of Immortality for free.

Jun Xiaoyao wasn't doing charity. He wouldn't do anything that didn't benefit him.

Bai Yu'er, who received Jun Linglong's reply, was very surprised.

That feeling was like rain after a long drought.

However, Jun Linglong's message made Bai Yu'er fall into deep thought.

That was because it wasn't Jun Linglong who was going to give her the Elixir of Immortality.

"A genius of the Jun family promised to give me the Elixir of Immortality. Could it be that he's interested in me?"

Bai Yu'er couldn't help but think.

She was quite confident in her looks. After all, she was the number one beauty in the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

She was quite famous throughout the entire Huangtian Mystic Realm.

In her mind, someone who was willing to give her the Elixir of Immortality must have been lusting after her body.

"As expected, even geniuses of the Jun family can't avoid such conventions." Bai Yu'er felt a bit disappointed.

Geniuses of the Jun family didn't seem to be as extraordinary as she thought.

"But no matter what, I have to get the Elixir of Immortality to save father first."
