Chapter 255 Elixirs to Clear the Way, Monkeys to Drive Away the Horses

Before the words were even finished, Lingyi had already rushed out of the Lihentian Pavilion. Just as it was about to take a step forward and run, something rushed towards it. Before it could dodge, it bumped right into its chest.

Just as Ling Yi was about to curse, the other person suddenly rolled to the ground. Ling Yi turned around and saw it was the old tree spirit. He was about to go forward and ask what had happened when he heard a chorus of screams from the people behind him. Ling Yi looked at the side path he had come up through and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Two long-unseen fiery red hares pulled a carriage loaded with snow lotus flowers, arriving in a grand procession. The funny thing was, the driver wasn't human, but that restless gorilla. This gorilla, however, had changed its ways today; it sat steadily, picking up a whip and waving it around like a proper human.

What's even funnier is that the commanding eagle flew at a moderate height, occasionally letting out a screech, at which point the gorilla would straighten its back and urge the Red Hare horse on.

This team, which didn't need anyone to command, made Hong Xiuying's group unable to help but laugh. Everyone wanted to laugh but dared not, until they heard Ling Yi burst into laughter, and then the old tree spirit finally laughed heartily.

"Lingyi, go and call everyone to help." Murong Junlan also came out at some point. He was secretly pleased to see that Cangying had finally returned, but his face was still cold. It wasn't an act; his beloved concubine was still worried in the cave.

"Alright." Lingyi called on everyone to help carry the ice lotus into the Lihentian Pavilion. Lingyi then planned to call everyone to follow the eagle to carry it, but the eagle glared at Lingyi and refused their help, only allowing Lingyi to come along. So the whole group of animals started driving the carriage again.

The group of humans who knew martial arts stood there looking at each other in bewilderment; they were truly being looked down upon by the animals.

As for why the eagle didn't let them come, it was because it didn't want to expose its alchemy treasure cave. This cave might still be useful in the future. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the more people who know about it, the more danger there will be. In the eagle's mind, perhaps animals are more reliable and trustworthy.

The two fiery red hares carried ten cartloads of ice and snow lotus flowers before finally stopping. Looking at the mountain of ice and snow lotus flowers, not only Murong Junlan and Ling Yi were astonished. How exactly did the Azure Eagle manage to gather all these ice and snow lotus flowers together in the first place?

"Your Highness, I need you to do something for me, otherwise I can't help you save the Princess." Cangying didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

……

The story goes that day, the eagle was refining pills in a good manner when suddenly the spiritual energy of the ice lotus flower became increasingly faint. Just as it was pondering this, it heard a crashing sound outside. It stopped what it was doing and went outside to take a look. The eagle was so angry that it stomped its feet. The person who had been making such a racket by transforming into a dragon with a thin rope was its master.

Along the way, its master had done many things that angered it, but it had not yet attributed the decline of the Ice Lotus to Prince Murong. It was not until Lingyi arrived and briefly told it about the Pavilion Master's affairs that it realized how much trouble its master had caused.

The eagle was so angry it was practically fuming. For a moment, it even considered abandoning the pill and leaving. But when it saw the pill it had only half-finished and recalled all the effort it had put in over the past few days, and how it had finally found such a treasure land full of spiritual energy, the eagle couldn't bear to give up halfway.

But a single eagle couldn't handle so much. It was exhausted after carrying back a load of ice lotus flowers. It wanted to ask Lingyi for help, but then it saw the group of ordinary people in the Lihentian Pavilion, so it had to find another way. Just as it returned to the foot of the mountain, it encountered the scratching gorilla. The eagle, quick-witted, immediately stepped forward and patted the mischievous monkey.

The gorilla was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it. Just as it was about to explode after being slapped by the eagle, the eagle stretched out its wing and presented a pinch of half-finished pills to its eyes. Although it was half-finished, the fragrance of snow lotus wafting from it was still very tempting.

Okay, what's up? The gorilla popped a pill into its mouth. Mmm, so refreshing and so comforting.

Seeing that the gorilla was willing to help, the eagle dragged the gorilla to the alchemy cave.

Mmm, that feels great! The gorilla simply lay down in the cave, not wanting to move. It wasn't going to leave; it was going to lie there and relax, and just by lying there, it could advance its cultivation level.
