Chapter 516: "The First Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan Pill "
"Junior Sister, you don't have to worry about it, the kid wouldn't dare to move forward after fleeing to the fifth cave tunnel. After we get our hands on the said pill, I will then help you take the king's head. By that time, the entirety of Da Xia would become your family's. Aren't you happy?" Luo Song dismisses the failure and easily makes a promise which he couldn't keep.
Giving a nod in return, Hong Ming Yue knew the man was right in light of those flattering words. The most important matter is the pill. I can deal with the rest afterwards.
Meanwhile over at the fifth cave tunnel, the group that's barely managed to escape death had only just materialized into existence from being transported with the help of the jade tablet.
For Feng Xue (girl) and Liu Cheng (boy), both of them were still showing shock and disbelief on their faces. That Hong Ming Yue actually wanted to kill the Sixth Prince!
As for Xia Hou Qi (prince), he was neither angry nor alarmed over the traitorous deed of his subjects. The boy's learned by now after seeing the true face of his older brother that none should be trusted outside of his closest kin.
It's true he teamed up with Hong Ming Yue and the others, but that's only a cooperative relationship, hardly a trustworthy one. Besides, he's perfectly aware of their ambitions and had on multiple occasions brought the issue up with his father the king. It's just that the man never took heed of his advice, claiming Old Lord Hong could be trusted since he's been an official for three dynasties.
They only didn't rebel because the timing isn't right, but now.... At the thought, the boy's fist immediately clenched into a ball.

"The members of the Hong House is too much. Your Highness, why don't we leave this place right now and vex them to death." Feng Xue suggests, steaming still over their situation and the treasonous actions of those people.
According to the rules of the Dan Palace, if someone leaves the Star Cave then the entire team would also be transported out of the place. That means Hong Ming Yue and the others would be forced to depart as well and lose their opportunity for further exploration if they do so now. That's a great way for them to get payback and a fine choice by most in these circumstances.
"No, we have to stay in the cave for a month. The Star Cave's environment is abundant with Yuan energy. If we train in here during this period using the Dan pills you've gathered then it will greatly help our cultivation. This time we must recuperate our energy and strength for whatever awaits us outside." It's undeniable that Xia Hou Qi had thought of that method to get payback at the enemy, but that thought was quickly tossed out of the window after further contemplation.
The fifth cave tunnel was relatively safe if he puts everything into consideration. For one, even if they do encounter some other forces along their path, the prince was confident the other side wouldn't try anything out of consideration for his identity a royal member of Da Xia. And besides, what could they do once they are outside? It's almost certain the other party wouldn't let things slide and try to get revenge once they leave....
Pulling his thoughts together, the prince immediately scanned his surroundings for a suitable spot for his plans to begin. I must grow strong enough using what little time I have in here. Even if not for myself, at least for Ling Yue's sake....
Back over at Hong Ming Yue's side, their group was currently hard at work trying to get their hands on that Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill that's still out of their reach.
Originally these people thought it would be a piece of cake to snatch the pill right out of the air, but their assumptions were swiftly squashed after multiple attempts. It's as if the thing had a mind of its own, constantly dodging at every turn. This most certainly frustrated Hong Yu Ying and her brother Hong Yu Long to no ends.
"It looks like this Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill is now sentient after breaking past into the eighth-grade barrier." After pondering for a while, this was the only conclusion Luo Song could come up with.
He's heard from his father before. After a Dan pill reaches a certain stage then they are no different from an Earth grade artifact that's breaking into the Sky grade, a level where it's common to find a spirit dwelling inside said item.
"Ming Yue, I believe its time we worked together and subdued this thing. If we keep wasting time like this then we would be here forever." Luo Song suggests, still showing his arrogant attitude as usual.
"Sister, take a rest for now and close off your senses while you're at it. I don't want my flute's power to injure your soul while I'm going at it." In a whisk of her hand, the Three Life Flute was already touching her lip and allowing the music to flow forward.
Perhaps the sentient pill did have a mind of its own because it immediately got quite violent after hearing the sound. But before it could smash right into the source of its discomfort, Luo Song have already drawn his gourd out to block off its path using the elixir and wind.
Now, with the wind and water acting as a binding hold around the pill like a slithering vine, plus the disorientating effects of the music, it quickly became apparent the matter was over once the boy manages to knab the item in midflight.

"Got it!" Overjoyed upon his success, Luo Song promptly stowed away his gourd.
This should've been a occasion to be celebrated, the issue was that the man didn't hand the thing over to the one who wanted it the most as predicted....
"Senior Brother, this Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill is very important to me. Could you..." Very much annoyed in her heart, Hong Ming Yue nevertheless puts on a sweet face in a attempt to woo the man.
It's not like she didn't know what this senior brother of hers was trying to do. Prior to entering the Star Cave, she had already mentioned how important this opportunity was for her and her family.
"Oh Ming Yue, you should also know about how two of our elders in the Three Life Valley is in need of such a medicine. They've been stuck at the fifth element for quite some time already, I'm sure this would greatly benefit them and help in their breakthrough, don't you agree?" Snickering a perverse laugh, Luo Song's conniving gaze couldn't be anymore obvious. Those eyes were literally glued to the girl's chest and bottom part like he's already stripped her naked, that definitely sent a shiver down Hong Ming Yue's spine as a result.
Luo Song was a player in the truest sense. Though his target of desire remains on this junior sister of his, that doesn't mean he hasn't played with other women before. In fact, many of the lesser grade females at the Three Life Valley had become his toys over the years, defiled and used up by his various demands. Therefore, he's well aware of the cold reception he's been getting all along and why he must resort to certain aggressive means to get his way.
"Senior Brother, what do I have to do to make you give me the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill?" All smiles still, Hong Ming Yue takes a closer step to reduce their distance like she's begging now.
