The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Half a month later, the new soldiers secretly sneaked out as per usual at night to have something special to eat and Ji Fengyan also followed. Unfortunately, there was no finding even with 10,000 people.

But Ji Fengyan did not intend on following them this time. With the disguise of the night, she stepped on her flying sword and flew to where the ancient dragon was at.

A few new soldiers even saw a silver ray of light flashing across the sky and said dreamily, “Ah! It’s a shooting star!”

Very soon, Ji Fengyan found the ancient dragon in the deep forest. The ancient dragon glanced at Ji Fengyan, but it did not seem delighted like usual and was despising her appearance.

“What’s the matter?” Ji Fengyan poked the ancient dragon’s tail.

The ancient dragon grunted, then turned around to avoid looking at her.

Ji Fengyan laughed and poked again. The ancient dragon then said after being annoyed by her.

“Stop poking!”

“What’s the matter? Why do you have such a bad temper?” Ji Fengyan looked at the ancient dragon who was in a bad mood and asked.

The ancient dragon muttered, “Isn’t it all because of those idiotic human subordinates of yours!”

Even with her toes, Ji Fengyan could already guess who the ancient dragon was referring to.

“What’s wrong with them?”

“What’s wrong? They are too annoying!” the ancient dragon roared.

It had originally enjoyed itself in the forest near the Moonset Valley. Sometimes, it would loiter around and stand up for the weaker animals and eat a ferocious beast. But after a few days, the bunch of new soldiers had charged into the forest and cleared everything in their path, leaving nothing behind.

Due to Ji Fengyan’s instruction to not be discovered by humans, the ancient dragon could only secretly move towards other forests when the new soldiers were clearing the forest.

But there were too many new soldiers and the dragon almost had to change its hiding spot almost every day and could not even rest properly.

Thinking about how such a majestic and strong ancient dragon like itself had to actually run all around the forest because of a bunch of idiotic humans, the ancient dragon felt oppressed and naturally was unhappy when it saw Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan convulsed in laughter because of the ancient dragon’s rant. She did not think that the ancient dragon’s life had been this pitiful during this half month.

“Alright, don’t be this petty. Aren’t I here to comfort you? How about this? This time you can choose your own rock and I’ll turn it to gold.” Ji Fengyan started to coax the ancient dragon skilfully.

Upon hearing “gold”, the look of despise on the ancient dragon’s face immediately disappeared. But it quickly realised that it should not give in this easily and forced an arrogant face on itself and glanced at Ji Fengyan. Then, it turned its head and directly picked up a huge rock beside itself that was even bigger than its own head.

When the huge rock that was like a small mountain was pushed to Ji Fengyan, her lips started to twitch.

It must have become smarter now as it knew how to bargain.

Without a choice, Ji Fengyan could only resign to fate and turn the huge rock into gold.

Seeing the huge gold appearing before its eyes, the ancient dragon then wagged its tail satisfied. Then, it swallowed the huge piece of gold.

Ji Fengyan felt that…

There was really no limit to how big a dragon’s mouth could open up to.

The ancient dragon was now satisfied. When it was about to praise Ji Fengyan, suddenly…

As if they were frightened by something, the birds in the forest started to fly away. The ancient dragon instinctively lifted its head and its gaze was dark when it looked in the direction of the Moonset Valley.

“The demon clan is here.”
