Chapter 46: Jing Xiaoxuan:
...
(The Holy Fire Palace)
Inside the closed-door cultivation chamber.
Xu Ze sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
A golden pill glowing with golden light could be seen outside Xu Ze's abdomen.
The profound Qi within his body surged wildly as the golden pill melted away.
Rumble...
Thunder sounds emerged from within Xu Ze's body, and demonic Qi surrounded around him.
"!"
Suddenly, as if breaking through some restrictions, Xu Ze abruptly opened his eyes.
His pupils flashed red.
"Seventh stage of the Demon God!"
Buzz~
The demonic Qi around Xu Ze disappeared.
He took a deep breath, feeling the majestic demonic Qi within him.
"The experiences of the nine reincarnations as the great villain have really allowed me to accumulate quite a few things."
Xu Ze moved his fingers, and red light surged in his eyes.
At this moment, Xu Ze's demonic Qi was no less than that of demonic cultivators who had practiced for hundreds of years.
However, due to the influence of the 'Holy Fire Cleansing Technique,' Xu Ze's demonic Qi was concealed within his body, and outsiders couldn't detect it.
"This journey into the secret realm unexpectedly yielded some unexpected gains."
Xu Ze reached into his storage ring and took out the thousand-year-old Dragon Yan Grass, the treasure given to him by Lu Qingqing.
Well, this fortuitous encounter was originally meant for the protagonist Ye Fan. But because of Lu Qingqing, it came to his hands.
"This Dragon Yan Grass is a top-tier cultivation herb. If I can refine it into a pill, my strength should reach another level..."
"However, even though Dragon Yan Grass has extremely potent medicinal qualities, it also places very high demands on the alchemist."
"Alchemists below the Seventh Rank cannot fully bring out the medicinal effects of Dragon Yan Grass."
In the original novel, the protagonist Ye Fan, also had a headache over this Dragon Yan Grass. As for how he later refined it into a pill, boosting his cultivation significantly, it was all thanks to one of the ten heroines, Jing Xiaoxuan.
Thinking this, the image of a somewhat silly and occasionally playful girl crossed his mind.
In 《Emperor of Heaven and Earth》, Jing Xiaoxuan was the top-level alchemist among the ten heroines.
However, her initial identity was the lowest of them all.
In the early stages of the novel, Jing Xiaoxuan was a 'swindler' due to a major crisis in her family during her childhood. She was born with a weak body.
To survive, Jing Xiaoxuan mastered powerful swindling tricks and fortune-telling from a young age and scammed ordinary people for money.
Later, hearing that the Holy Mountain was full of opportunities and wealthy individuals, she arrived at its foot, hoping to make a fortune.
There, she encountered the protagonist Ye Fan.
After a series of wits and confrontations, Jing Xiaoxuan's identity as a swindler was completely exposed. However, she held a deep grudge against Ye Fan from that point on.
Despite facing a disciple of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect!, Jing Xiaoxuan didn't show weakness.
Through various deceptive ways, she sneaked into the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect. In a twist of fate, she helped Ye Fan refine the Dragon Yan Pill, and Xu Ze, the major villain, discovered her terrifying alchemy talent.
Then, while Ye Fan's relationship gradually improved, Xu Ze used some special means to make Jing Xiaoxuan submit to him willingly.
After being abandoned later on, Jing Xiaoxuan was also heartbroken, leaving behind the resolute declaration, "Only I can deceive others; no one is allowed to deceive me."
However, this heroine was sidelined by the author in the later stages, to the point where even readers almost forgot about her existence.
