Ten Thousand Times Return: My Senior Sister Plucked Me At The Start

After Shi Man left, Zhao Mu checked on Shi Rui's condition.

The Nascent Soul Refining Poison that had invaded her Nascent Soul had been completely suppressed. Although there were still some remnants, he had left enough Red Yang Energy in Shi Rui's body to neutralize the last bit of Nascent Soul Refining Poison.

She should be fully recovered in a day or two.

When he had some free time, Zhao Mu took out Wang Xian's storage ring and rummaged through it again.

Apart from the unknown poisonous pills and various books on refining poisons, there were also some other things in there.

There were more than twenty upper-grade spiritual stones and thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones.

This could be considered a considerable gain.

Twenty upper-grade spiritual stones were not a lot, but in Zhao Mu's hands, they could be returned.

Cultivating the Pure Yang Xuanming Skill required a large number of spiritual stones, so he had to prepare more.

But Zhao Mu's need for spiritual stones was not urgent. After all, he still had more than half of the Emperor Yan Blood Marrow Fruit. Together with the spiritual medicine, it was enough for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Zhao Mu continued rummaging through the storage ring, but he was soon disappointed.

Wang Xian had left behind a lot of resources for him to make a comeback, but most of them were evil items. Even the materials for refining elixir pills were all kinds of poisons. They were not of any practical value to Zhao Mu.

He would keep them for now. They might come in handy in the future.

In addition, Zhao Mu found a bottle of poison.

It was the Nascent Soul Refining Poison that was used on Shi Rui.

The Nascent Soul Refining Poison was stored in a black jade bottle with two-thirds of it left.

This was a lethal poison refined from ten thousand virgin boys and girls. It was indeed a heinous crime.

But Zhao Mu did not dare to get rid of it easily. If the poison leaked out, it might cause a barren land within a hundred miles.

He could only keep it for now.

Perhaps it might come in handy.

After keeping the storage ring, Zhao Mu did not waste any more time. He took out a cut Emperor Yan Blood Marrow Fruit and swallowed it. He sat cross-legged and started refining it.

On the way here, he had just broken through to Level 7 of the Core Formation Realm. But the power of the Emperor Yan Blood Marrow Fruit was too overbearing. His cultivation level had risen too quickly, and it seemed very superficial. In fact, he had not reached Level 7.

It was a pity that he didn't have anyone to return it to. Otherwise, he would have been able to refine and absorb all the medicinal effects with just a wave of Scarlet Yang Energy.

Shi Rui was still on guard against him. Her favorable impression of him was still at 30, far from the standard of binding.

Zhao Mu glanced at the system interface and discovered that Zhao Qingxi's favorable impression of him had already reached 80 points. He could bind her, but she was a mortal and had no cultivation. She wouldn't be able to withstand his Scarlet Yang Power.

Surprisingly, Zhao Mu discovered that Shi Man's favorable impression of him was also as high as 75 points.

Furthermore, she was a Qi Condensation cultivator.

"Tsk …"

Zhao Mu shook his head. He was too lazy to think about it.

Let nature take its course.

In one day, Zhao Mu did his best to absorb the medicinal power of the Emperor Yan's Blood Marrow Fruit. He finally stabilized his Core Formation Stage Level Seven. However, there was still a large amount of Flaming Yang energy in his body. He needed time to slowly assimilate it.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already time for Shi Man to agree.

"Boss, the Empress of Zhou Country is outside asking for an audience." Ghost Toad's voice came from outside the door.

She came as promised.

Since he was so punctual, it seemed like he was making good progress.

"Summon her in."

After a while, Shi Man arrived in front of Zhao Mu.

Today, she wasn't wearing a graceful and luxurious phoenix robe. Instead, she had changed into a simple white dress. She didn't have any makeup on her face. Instead, she was bare-faced. She was clean and pure like a little white flower.

"Reporting to Immortal Master, after my persuasion, most of the members of the imperial family have agreed to surrender to Zhao. Although there are a few princes who are protesting, they don't have a strong foundation and won't have any substantial impact. I believe that as long as Immortal Master personally speaks, the entire imperial family will have no objections."

Shi Man said excitedly. She thought this task would be very difficult, but the process was unexpectedly smooth.

Perhaps she underestimated the desire of the imperial family's elders to survive.

If they surrendered to Zhao, at least they could keep their aristocratic status. They wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing, and they could continue to be at the top of the world.

If they resisted … the consequences were obvious.

Zhao Mu nodded. He wasn't surprised by this result.

"What are the reactions of the other realms?"

"Apart from the military, all the other ministries are very enthusiastic about surrendering. They only hope to keep their current positions."

After a pause, Shi Man continued, "As for the military, they are a bunch of uncouth people. They think that Zhou has millions of soldiers and can look down on everyone. They don't know …"

She couldn't help but look at Zhao Mu a few more times.

With his strength, a million soldiers might just be a million ants to him.

Although this was an exaggeration, it wasn't too much.

If Zhao Mu really swung his sword a million times, he would also be tired.

However, cultivators had the advantage of having countless methods and control the air. Any Foundation Establishment cultivator who could fly could play around with a mortal army.

"How many cultivators are there in Zhao's army?"

"There are quite a few now, but they are all fake cultivators created by that evil cultivator's poison pill. They won't live for more than a few days. Moreover, they are all brave and good at fighting. Once this group of people falls, the strength of Zhou's army will greatly decrease.

In my opinion, we can ignore the uncouth people in the military for now. After a few days, when the poison pill's effect is exhausted and a group of people die, they will know what's good for them. "

Zhao Mu said, "Before the transfer of power, the Zhou Nation will still be under your jurisdiction. When the situation stabilizes, my father and I will come here again. At that time, you have to be ready to welcome us and successfully complete the transfer of power."

Shi Man nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Immortal Master. I'll do my best to complete the task you've given me. I won't disappoint you."

An obedient woman was quite likable.

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "You did well. If you need any reward, just let me know. I can satisfy you."

Hearing this, Shi Man's beautiful eyes flashed. She pursed her red lips and looked at Zhao Mu nervously. "It's already a great honor for me to be able to serve Master Celestial. How would I dare to ask for more benefits … It's just that I couldn't sleep last night. I tossed and turned, and my mind was filled with Master Celestial's figure. I couldn't forget it …"

Hmm?

I just wanted to give you a few medicinal pills, and you actually covet my body?

"The Zhou Kingdom hasn't perished yet. As the Empress of a kingdom, the mother of the kingdom, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate for you to say such words." Zhao Mu narrowed her eyes and sized Shi Man up.

His gaze was so imposing that Shi Man couldn't raise her head at all. She was so scared that her whole body was trembling.

m.

Shi Man trembled as she said, "Although I'm the Empress of the Zhou Kingdom, after marrying the Emperor, I've never had a day as husband and wife. I don't dare to tell Master Celestial that I'm still a virgin."

"Oh?"

Zhao Mu suddenly became a little interested.

The Empress who was the mother of the kingdom was actually a virgin girl. Who would believe this if he told others?

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Zhao Mu said with a straight face.

Shi Man panicked and said hurriedly, "Everything I said is true. If Master Celestial doesn't believe me, you can verify it yourself!"

"Then I'll have to verify it properly."
