Qianye was terrified.

The spring water here has all the benefits of the Ice Spirit Spring.

She even felt that the old wound she had left ten years ago, which was still faintly painful, had become unbearably itchy and was healing!

And his cultivation, which was at the initial stage, immediately showed signs of a breakthrough.

It's not about making a real breakthrough, but about giving yourself the feeling that you're about to make one.

Once you reach the later stages of your cultivation, the advancement will be seamless.

Qianye remembered that the ancient books of the Demon Kingdom mentioned a divine spring bestowed by immortals.

It integrates the functions of purifying the body, removing toxins, repairing old injuries, and enhancing perception.

The characteristics of the spring in front of us match perfectly!

"Such a wondrous object, just left out in the open, casually piled up in the yard?"

Qianye felt a little dizzy.

Such a divine spring deserves at least one magnificent palace to be built next to it.

Heavy patrols are conducted daily, with surveillance arrays deployed to ensure no detail is overlooked.

How can we allow fallen leaves to fall into the pond so casually, treating it the same as any other fishpond?

Wow!

The guards on night patrol came by but failed to notice the two who had enhanced their magic.

He scooped up some spring water and drank it down in one gulp.

Finally, they moved a little further away and scooped water over their heads to cool down.

Qianye stared in disbelief: "Such a divine spring, what a waste!"

"Bastard!"

Gu Susu quickly pulled her back: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

What if we're exposed and His Majesty tries to silence us?

Qianye was furious: "No wonder!"

"The servants here have even higher sensory abilities than the Divine Guards."

"What kind of social standing does the Marquis of Zhenyuan have that they can't even recognize such a divine spring!"

"What a waste! I'm so angry!"

"You should drink too!"

Most importantly, I paid for it myself!

This spring water is good, but what good will drinking a few sips do?

Even if I drank the water here for three days and three nights, I still wouldn't earn back the price of my eighth-grade spirit herb!

These people... can enjoy it so easily.

The empress was absolutely furious with jealousy.

Upon receiving the order, Gu Susu immediately scooped up some water and gulped it down.

She was embarrassed to say that she used to drink some water by the spring every day she came.

They knew about it much earlier than His Majesty.

Gu Susu felt a little guilty and glanced at him a couple more times.

Qianye noticed her looking at her and said with displeasure, "What are you looking at? We're already here, we can't waste this opportunity!"

"I didn't care about you at all!"

"Drink more, and your inner core will grow a bit!"

Gu Susu gave an "oh" and said weakly, "Yes... Mother... Your Majesty."

The guard chuckled, "Young master, you're really lucky to have dug up this spring in the courtyard. It even has a spiritual quality; we're really fortunate to have it. Hey, you should wash further away, don't dirty the spring water!"

Another person added, "The young master is a good person; he even helped with patrols the night before last. The madam had no choice but to have the whole courtyard watch him patrol."

"Young Master?" Qianye turned her face away. "The Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion does indeed have some background; even a child benefits from it."

"It might not be a coincidence that you were given human form."

"Let's go see the child."

She ignored the spring water and strode forward.

While the clear, pure spring water is beautiful, its effects are limited.

How could a mere marquis's mansion compare to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons...

"What is that?" Qianye suddenly stopped.

Bang.

Gu Susu couldn't brake in time, and the huge snowball crashed into her.

Qianye glared at her disapprovingly, and without waiting for an answer, took two steps forward, then gaped in astonishment: "Dragon meat?!"

In the kitchen, several chefs are preparing ingredients in advance.

They cut pieces of meat that emitted a peculiar aura into small sections and put them into a large pot to simmer into a rich broth.

"The young master said that if we make the soup and use it to cook the dishes, the meat is ours."

Even if the essence is extracted, it's still dragon meat!

"Eating this will strengthen your bodies, you lazybones! Maybe you can even advance to the next realm just by eating!"

The apprentices and kitchen helpers were all excited: "Young master is so kind, he even let us eat dragon meat."

"Of course, no other prefecture gets this treatment. Even the imperial palace can't eat dragon meat every day."

"We're really benefiting from this!"

Gum!

Upon hearing this, Qianye swallowed hard.

The demon race's need for flesh and blood far exceeds that of the human race for cultivation.

The great demon feeds on the lesser demons, and uses itself as a furnace to fuse the essence of all things.

If a great demon falls, lesser demons can feed on its corpse and rise to become kings.

Therefore, the demon race's pursuit of food is deeply ingrained in their souls.

As top-tier beings, dragons and phoenixes are the best food regardless of their level of cultivation.

Even as an empress, Qianye was unable to move at this moment and asked, "What kind of family would allow a cook to prepare dragon meat?"

She was stunned.

The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons has eaten dragon meat before; such a top-tier ingredient can be encountered if you're lucky.

When I was very young, I had the privilege of tasting a piece the size of a fingernail.

At that time, the emperor dared not let the cook handle it.

They didn't care whether it tasted good or bad.

After burning incense and calming the mind for three days, and after bathing and changing clothes, he used extremely pure demonic power to slowly roast the food until it was cooked.

And now...

These chefs treated this dragon meat, which was the size of a washbasin, like any other food!

"What kind of family is this, that they can afford to eat dragon meat rice!"

Gu Susu fared slightly better; during the three days she was repaying the debt of gratitude, she only ran errands a few times and served as a mount twice.

But you can eat your fill of dragon liver and unicorn marrow!

Now, seeing the scraps of meat left out to dry in the wind, I feel a craving, but not a hunger.

"Hey!" the chef called out, "Go pick some Nine-Turned Spirit Branches, I want to make some cold dishes."

The apprentice responded and hurried out.

By the time Qianye realized what was happening, the cooks had already returned, carrying a vibrant plant as if it were a large scallion.

"Nine-Turn Spirit Branch???" Qianye was dumbfounded.

Those are innate spiritual plants. When planted on a barren mountain, they will grow into lush green trees and abundant flowers and plants the following year, exuding an ethereal aura.

A single branch can create the most suitable spiritual kingdom for an entire demon race to live in!

And now...

This Su family not only grows the Nine-Turned Spirit Branch, but they even use it—in cold dishes??

The apprentice smiled and said, "The old man in the vegetable garden hasn't slept. He greets everyone he meets with 'Hello, young master!'"

"They actually planted spiritual plants in the vegetable garden, and now the flowers and plants are lush, insects and ants have fled, and work is easy every day."

The chef rolled his eyes: "Envious of him? Then go and switch places with him."

The apprentice quickly replied, "Oh, no way!"

"It's tiring in the kitchen, but there's dragon meat to eat..."

The chef noticed he hesitated for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

The apprentice scratched his head: "No, it's nothing."

The chef said, "Okay, then let's get back to work and get tomorrow's tasks done."

"This Nine-Turned Spirit Branch mixed with vegetables is also delicious. I heard a couple of days ago that a dish called Nine-Turned Ear Root has appeared in the city. I wonder if it has anything to do with the young master..."

Gu Susu looked worried as she watched Qianye's pace quicken: "Your Majesty, it's just some meat, don't get excited."

Qianye stiffened her neck: "Am I excited?"

"I've figured out who the young master of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion is."

"He's lucky, but he's brainless!"

"With so many opportunities, it would be a complete waste not to cherish them!"

Gu Susu cried out in fear, "Your Majesty, Mother, please don't harm our benefactor!"

"Hmph!" Qianye sneered. "These things may be rare, but they're not worth my time!"

"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons has seen everything; they can eat dragon meat any day!"

Gu Susu thought to herself, if there were no dragon meat scraps on the corners of your mouth, then there would be even more convincing evidence that there were no top-grade spirit stones on the stove.

Qianye turned around and walked forward.

He thought to himself, "He's just a child, and he hasn't done anything to harm the demon race."

"And to be able to obtain these opportunities, one must be very lucky."

"Let's take him back and nurse him back to health, and keep him alive!"

Swish!

She paused, looked up, and saw a huge tree that blocked out the sky.

"Enlightenment... Enlightenment Tea Tree???"

Qianye's realm was enough to see countless Great Dao rules swirling around the tree trunk, constantly changing.

Ancient texts from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons mention that this is the ancient divine object that even immortals covet—the Enlightenment Tea Tree!

"How come his family has an Enlightenment Tea Tree?!"

Qianye suddenly drew her knife: "No, I'm going to kill this brat!"

"I'm so envious!!!"
