The Sacred Ruins Novel - Chapter 709

Three yellow cauldrons were bubbling with medicinal fragrance. The contents were already in a boil, and a mixture of many herbs and a bright red liquid was being refined therein.

In the distance, Zhou Shang, Xu Chengxian, and the Origin Magnetic Immortal Physique were barely alive. Their blood had been drained several dozen times in the past three days, their so-called divine blood, myriad star blood, and saint blood were drawn out and refined completely.

However, things didn’t end there. Every time they ran out of blood and lost consciousness, they would be fed blood-supplement medicines.

Additionally, Ouyang Feng and the black yak took action personally, helping them circulate their energy and regenerate the profundities of their divine bodies.

The three of them were juiced repeatedly, their bodies being drained time and again until their qi was almost wiped out.

“You people…” Xu Chengxian was incomparably hostile. He felt that he was really going to be crippled because the loss of Myriad Star origins was too great. At least seven parts of it had dispersed along with his blood. At this rate, it would really be the end of him!

He was the clearest about his own condition. His physique had undergone a transformation after consuming a Myriad Star Grass and that allowed him to gain his present fame.

However, Demon King Chu was now refining him like a medicine, letting his blood repeatedly and extracting its medicinal properties. In the end, he would lose everything he had!

Zhou Shang was also roaring. He was absolutely furious because it was the 41st time he was being drained. Only skin and bones were left of his entire body after having his divine blood exhausted several dozen times.

In the distance, the medicine in one of the bronze cauldrons was emitting a strong fragrance. That was a mixture of innocuous divine blood undergoing refinement along with many other herbs.

“The effects aren’t bad. After some test, the medicinal effects are quite astonishing. We can actually refine a great medicine!” The Manchurian Tiger was looking after the three cauldrons.

Chu Feng said, “Very good. I believe that we will be able to refine the medicinal properties of their origins in the end. The moment they become cripples is the moment this procedure ends. The medicine should be ready at that point.”

“Chu Feng, you’ll suffer divine retribution and get struck by lightning sooner or later!” The Origin Magnetic Immortal Physique howled through clenched teeth. He was already in despair. There was no way to escape, and his saint blood was gradually being stripped away—he would soon become a cripple.

“Such threats and curses are meaningless, try something else. Your Granduncle Chu was struck by lightning just a while ago, yet here I am prancing about quite well. Your so-called heavenly tribulation is just so-so.”

“Clean things up, the charity dinner auction is about to begin. We need to welcome the guests,” said Chu Feng.

The group broke into laughter. Apart from Chu Feng’s parents, the Wudang Grandmaster, and a small number of people who didn’t want to join the liveliness, everyone else began preparing to head over.

“Old Bear, how do I look?” the old donkey asked the Black Bear King.

“You should probably wear a mask,” the Bear King replied.

“What do you mean?” the donkey inquired.

“Your bucktooth is too big!” The Black Bear King replied frankly.

“Hee-haw Hee-haw, Black Bear, you can slap and curse me, but revealing my weakness is a low blow!”

The final result was that the entire group appeared in the same style. Under the influence of the black yak, everyone wore swept-back hair, sunglasses, and had huge cigars in their mouths.

Chu Feng was speechless upon seeing them because this group didn’t look like good people at all. Instead, they looked like a group of thugs from the streets—not one of them looked like a decent human being.

The Elder Ape of Greatwood temple, the sideway-glancing Ouyang Feng, the Old Donkey who would take advantage of whoever he speaks to, and the four-horned Zhou Quan, none of them looked normal.

As for the thug leader, the black yak, there was even less to be said about him. He rubbed his hair as he walked forward in a black suit and with a large cigar in his mouth.

Only the old llama looked somewhat benevolent, refusing to change his style no matter what the others said. Now, that would be quite comedic if he were to wear similar clothes with his bald head. It would convince everyone that there was no good person left in this place, only scoundrels.

However, the Horse King filled in for this gap. His shiny bald head looked especially fierce when he mixed in with the group.

“Brother, you’re being too casual. Tonight is a banquet, so you should dress formally.” The black yak began mumbling about Chu Feng’s lack of taste.

“I’m planning to extort people and sell prisoners, not attend a real banquet.” Chu Feng corrected him frankly.

The Dragoness chuckled, her dragon horns barely visible under her glowing blue hair. She was slender, fair, and exceptionally beautiful. Fortunately, her apparel—an aqua blue robe—was still quite normal compared to the others.

“Bring the surviving holy sons and daughters, as well as the ingredients. Set out!”

Afterward, the group of captives was connected into a long string and driven onto the multicolored ship. This was the biggest ship on the seas when the alliance launched their attack.

Reportedly, it was the vehicle of a certain galactic pirate, an astonishing treasure that could warp through space.

The group of holy sons and daughters were dispirited and in despair. This time, they were incomparably resentful because they had failed utterly and were now being herded away to be sold like cattle.

“Move it! Whoever doesn’t cooperate will be cooked!” the Manchurian Tiger urged them.

The black yak threatened, “This group of holy daughters, you guys said so yourself that you’re good at cooking. We’ll be counting on you for the banquet food, otherwise, this old ox will stew you myself.”

The group of holy sons and daughters clenched their teeth with eyes full of dismay. They had fallen prisoner and were being ordered about to do hard labor.

For instance, some of the holy sons were in charge of driving the ship with a divine chain pierced through their shoulder blades.

At last, they left the mist of Mount Eternal and arrived at the designated location. The seven-colored ship was indeed quite large as it over the surface of the sea.

At this point, the red sun was setting in the west.

The scarlet clouds of twilight dyed the sea red. Especially over the western horizon, the evening clouds were glowing with a faint golden luster as they were reflected on the surface of the sea in a dazzling display.

“The guests have come. Old Donkey, go and welcome them.” The black yak was the dignified steward of the house, sending out orders to the old donkey.

The donkey was in formal wear, and although he was in human shape, those wind-catching ears were still just as evident. He led a couple of holy daughters to welcome the guests at the bow of the ship, smiling with his large bucktooth.

“Welcome!”

Chu Feng grimaced as the donkey and his captives called out in unison. “This is so vulgar, are you guys playing out a restaurant theme?”

“I feel that it’s quite awkward too. All of you, just stand smiling on either side as a backdrop for Master Donkey’s handsomeness and grace. I’ll do the welcoming on my own. The donkey accidentally revealed a hoof due to his incomplete transformation, but then he quickly hid it into his sleeve. “Hee-haw, hee-haw, welcome!”

Chu Feng felt helpless upon witnessing this scene and merely left.

The black yak came to smooth things over. “Everything today is for extortion and blackmail, there’s no need to make things so refined.”

He and the Manchurian Tiger came to help. Standing on each side of the entrance with their large sunglasses, they looked like two hoodlum gods!

“The Destiny Immortal Physique!?” The old donkey’s voice arrived from the deck. He hadn’t expected that such a “large fish” would arrive so soon.

Even Chu Feng turned about and began sizing up this person. They had fought before at Kunlun, but who would’ve thought he was actually bold enough to attend this banquet.

“Brother Chu, I fought you last time only to catch the bronze-masked bandit. It is truly a misunderstanding. I come to buy some goods today. We talk only business, no weapons.”

The Destiny Immortal Physique was quite forthright. His hair was lustrous, and his pores were gushing with energy—this wasn’t a normal level of power. Even Yellow Ox became serious.

“Well said. Dao Brother, please, this way. I haven’t learned your esteemed named yet.” Chu Feng greeted the guest with a smile and didn’t attack.

“Zheng Tianming!” the Destiny Immortal Physique replied.

“Zheng Tianming, striving for destiny?” Chu Feng nodded as he led the Destiny Immortal Physique inside.

A large patch of auspicious clouds floated over, the prismatic colors in it causing the dusk clouds to pale in comparison. The entire sea region gasped in astonishment.

That was because they had recognized the group on the clouds as people from the Quasi-Immortal Race.

Ying Wudi was handsome, tall, and impressive. One would tell at a glance that he was a dragon amongst men, surrounded by an aura of transcendent grace. This was one of the strongest young experts in the universe!

Ying Zhexian was lithe, elegant, and surrounded by a faint layer of mist. With her hazy eyes and silver hair that danced in the wind, she was worthy of being named the third most beautiful woman in the universe.

The last one was a small silver-haired loli. The odd little lass’ eyes shifted about as she looked at Chu Feng.

“What a clever and beautiful little girl. Come, let brother Feng take you to see the whales.”

These words caused everyone’s faces to turn back, including that of Ying Xiaoxiao’s brother and sister.

The people with a dark expression also included Chu Feng because the one who said this wasn’t him—it was Ouyang Feng. He had finally realized that his name also contained the word Feng and could use it to cause trouble at a critical juncture.

Ouyang Feng’s face was covered in golden runic lines and a huge smile was plastered on it. He moved over to worm his way into Ying Xiaoxiao’s ship, offering to take her to see the whales.

The silver-haired loli’s eyes shone brightly. Immediately realizing that the front wasn’t very old, she said, “Damned toad, trying to act like a strange uncle, are you? Die!”

The toad immediately glanced askance at her and got ready to spray out a shower of spittle. Chu Feng quickly carried the toad to the bow and let his saliva gush into the ocean. In the end, a large swathe of dead fish appeared in the water.

“So toxic!” the old donkey shouted.

The group was speechless as they looked at the Ouyang Toad.

Ying Wudu nodded at Chu Feng but said nothing. Apparently, he had a pretty bad impression of the latter since he had robbed his sisters before.

Ying Zhexian, on the other hand, smiled faintly. Even though she was once knocked out cold and had her belt robbed, she didn’t turn hostile at the moment.

Chu Feng responded in kind, greeting her and saying, “Fairy Ying, this way. Upon seeing you, I find that you are even more beautiful than the rumors. You’re like a bright moon in the night sky, flawless and transcendent, truly a great fit for your name, Zhexian.”

The silver-haired loli smiled sweetly. “Heehee, Chu Feng, are you planning to become my brother-in-law? It’s going to be hard because that group of old monsters is highly inflexible. See Ying Wudi? He’s already acting so deep and old at a young age, you can guess how old-fashioned the people back home are.”

This little fellow was about to shock people to death whenever she spoke.

Her sister immediately dragged her away by the ears to avoid being suppressed by Ying Wudi.

People from all walks of life arrived one after the other. Chu Feng had thought that there wouldn’t be many people because those interested in buying from him would usually bid via the internet. Who would’ve thought a fair number of traditional orthodoxy representatives would arrive in person?

At the same time, there were also evolvers from the earth.

For instance, a well-built man with tanned skin and short hair arrived atop a parrot.

“Vajra!?” An astonished Chu Feng recognized the man.

Back when the heaven and earth began to transform, he was one of the four most powerful mutants: Silver-Winged God, Vajra, the Fire Spirit King, and White Tiger.

At the same time, Chu Feng recognized the mount. It was that parrot who cried “Vajra rides a pig!” back at the battle of Mount Taihang.

Chu Feng was speechless and confused.

In the end, the parrot spoke, “Goddamned, this boar-riding knight is seeking revenge on me. Demon King Chu, please save me. I don’t want to be his mount. It’s been over a year of hardship.”

Chu Feng paid no heed to this request because he felt sorry for Vajra. Back when he had killed the experts of Deity Biomedicals, this person had suffered the blame for several times.

“Long time no see, Brother Chu. Who would’ve thought you would reach this stage?” The Vajra was somewhat emotional.

“Brother Vajra, please come inside. We must chat idly afterward!” Chu Feng patted the man on the shoulder and led him in personally.

There were many unexpected guests later on. For instance, Yang Xuan, Hu Qingcheng, Qing Lan, etc. Chu Feng laughed as he welcomed them passionately, calling them brothers and sisters-in-law.

In the end, these three immediately turned livid.

Chu Feng only retracted his demeanor after seeing Yang Shan and Hu Luoxian following from behind.

Princess Lin of the Origin Magnetic Immortal Cave in the north pole also came. Her expression was complicated when she saw Chu Feng once more. Back then, she had believed that Chu Feng would never rise to power and would be suppressed by the divine sons of the outer realm. That was why she had let go of a good destiny back then. She hadn’t given him a warning when the hundreds of holy sons launched a combined attack on Chu Feng.

“Princess Qi Lin, please this way,” said Chu Feng.

“You actually reached such a level.” Qi Lin couldn’t help but say. This was an unexpected outcome for a local evolver to sweep through all the divine sons and holy daughters, capturing a whole bunch of them for auction. She still found it unreal up to this moment.

Afterward, the representatives from the outer realms arrived. A fair number of them had come to bid on their own family’s holy sons, while others were here to seek news about their missing holy daughters.

Afterward, some of the local friends also arrived—for instance, the Golden-Winged Roc of Mount Hua and the Old Tortoise of Mount Kongtong.

Following that, Jiang Luoshen—the lady who had a complicated relationship with Chu Feng— appeared, and as expected of the national goddess, she was still just as beautiful. Her good friend Xia Qianyu also tagged along to accompany her.

“Chu Feng, you really know how to torment people, but now the victims have become outer realm aliens,” Jiang Luoshen spoke softly. In fact, she was feeling a bit nervous because she wasn’t sure if she could speak so casually with Chu Feng at this point in time.

Apparently, she had been overthinking things. Chu Feng didn’t put on any airs and treated her like the old friend she was.

“You’ll be selling secret treasures too, right? If there’s something I like, will you give me a discount?” Jiang Luoshen asked with a smile.

“Of course! No problem. Look at our relationship, we’re people who have slept on the same bed and pillow in the past. Whatever you like, I’ll give it to you.” Chu Feng waved his hands with a grin.

“Die!” A furious Jiang Luoshen walked in quickly.

However, Xia Qianyu’s expression looked quite odd. When they reached a deserted place, she asked quietly, “Luoshen, you’re so open-minded. Don’t get pregnant.”

“Damn it, what nonsense are you spouting!?”

Soon afterward, the Vermilion Bird Fairy, the Undead Silkworm Prince, and the siblings, Yuan Shicheng and Yuan Yuam, also arrived. Some others suspected to have special physiques also made their appearance.

“Everyone, please forgive us if we’re lacking in hospitality.” The black yak was clad in a suit, with shiny swept-back hair and sunglasses.

The Manchurian Tiger was his aide with the old donkey running around for small tasks. Ouyang Feng was also around to patrol the scene.

Such a lineup caused the visitors to feel completely speechless.

“The food isn’t bad,” someone whispered.

Many evolvers revealed surprised expressions after picking out some food because the quality wasn’t inferior to the food in the outer realms.

Before long, the group began raising their glasses, and the ambiance became quite harmonious.

Someone asked, “Brother Chu, what are these dishes made of? I feel that they taste pretty good, not inferior to the food we serve to the top-grade guests.”

As the steward, the black yak immediately broke into a grin and said, “It’s not like I want to brag, but those so-called feasts in the outer-realm can’t compare to ours. You want to know what you’re eating? Those are the short ribs of a top-ranking holy son’s true form.”

“What, which holy son!?”

“Golden Mountain Goat.” The Manchurian Tiger, as the aide, was responsible for answering this.

Those people were petrified and frozen.

The toad glanced askance at them and said, “You aliens have seen so little, never eaten one, have you?”

“F*ck!!!!” That’s the holy son of our race!” One of the guests broke into a frantic wail.

“What ingredient is this!?” A group of people stood up to inquire about their food.

“That’s the white-jade elephant’s trunk. Oh, that one is the multi-colored ear. This plate is the three hue crab paste. Mm, remember, this is a race known as the divine crab race.”

The old donkey was quite cordial and began explaining all the dishes to the group. Everyone’s faces went green because they had been eating divine sons and holy daughters! These people had actually made them into cooking ingredients!

The black yak said with a grin. “Eh, didn’t a lot of people get trapped in the Heavenly Fire Thunderous Array? Some of them perished and so, in the spirit of not being wasteful, we collected them as ingredients. Everyone, you’re lucky to be able to eat such foods today.”

All the representatives were going crazy and many people wanted to kill. What goddamned lucky. Many people wanted to say, “Lucky my a*s!”
