《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 1061 – Going All Out
Advertisement
Feature glanced over her several more times and then said to Qin Yu, “Such a pretty and captivating woman has already said that she is willing to serve your every need. If you aren’t moved by this, are you still a man?”
Black lines appeared down Qin Yu’s face. He clenched his teeth and said, “What did you come out for?”
Feature humphed twice. “The reason I came out is of course because I have obtained the information I need. You are so angry, is it because I ruined your good deed? What a good Qin Yu, it seems your thoughts aren’t that pure at all. Did you have similar thoughts about me before? Hoho, I really underestimated your courage!”
His lips twitched and he roared inwardly. If it wasn’t for you who was so unconcerned about being exposed, would I have seen what I shouldn’t have seen?
But saying this was a bit too petty. Moreover, he couldn’t admit that he didn’t have any thoughts because when he first looked at her, he did feel comfortable.
He coughed and shifted the topic, “Do you have a way?”
Feature derisively sneered, as if she were dismissing all men. Then she rolled her eyes and said, “Of course!”
She glanced over Qin Yu. In her heart, she couldn’t help but praise him. This boy’s luck was truly heaven-defying!
At such a time, a helper actually fell down from the skies to help him.
Certainly, the ‘helper’ she referred to wasn’t Mian Ya, but the information she disclosed. Such as the Nine-tailed Fox Clan’s most precious treasure, the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror.
When Feature walked out and Mian Ya first saw her, she immediately fell into a state of great panic.
She had no idea who Feature was and she didn’t release any formidable aura either. But her bloodline instincts caused her soul to tremble and her thoughts to go blank. She couldn’t think of anything else at all.
“Hoho, you little fox, your sensory abilities are quite good. Then be a good girl and let me take some of your blood. Yes, just like that. Don’t resist. I’m gentle and you won’t feel any pain.”
Feature made a tiny cut on Mian Ya’s palm and extracted a vial of blood. She smiled in satisfaction, “Alright, you can continue resting now. But don’t forget what you said. The Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan will now be the slaves of this boy.”
Mian Ya’s eyes widened. Her instincts told her that if she didn’t refuse now, this matter would become an unchangeable truth. As if there was some supreme strength of rules contained in Feature’s words.
But things clearly weren’t like this. I said that he had to help us retrieve the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror first before we were willing to take him as our master.
Feature narrowed her eyes. Judging from this expression alone, she was quite similar to Qin Yu. “What, you want to go back on your word?”
Mian Ya paled and she hurriedly shook her head, “Everything will be as you wish!”
Feature patted her cheek. “Smart. Now hurry and rest.”
She cast Qin Yu a meaningful look before turning and leaving.
Qin Yu followed close behind.
When the door closed, Feature curled her lips, “Qin Yu, I have helped you subdue the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan that is rich in beauties. You can recklessly do whatever you want to them. Why aren’t you hurrying to thank me?”

Bah!
She had only said that because she had been forced into a corner and had no other choice.
Could things become true just because you said a few words?
But Qin Yu didn’t have time to argue with Feature over this at the moment. He said, “What’s your plan?”
Under the shadow of death, everyone else could stand to the side. After all, compared to one’s life and death, there was nothing more important in this world.
This wasn’t called the selfish fear of death. Rather, it was the instinctive resistance and struggle that any self-aware creature had towards death.
Feature snapped her fingers. “It’s simple. As long as you can obtain the Thousand Mirror Demon Mirror in the body of the abyssal demon dragon, we will have a chance to survive this calamity.”
Qin Yu paled. “You’re telling me that you want me to steal the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror from inside the body of the abyssal demon dragon?”
“That’s right. Didn’t Shadowless Demon say that out of the three Demon Commander level demon beasts outside the city, the demon ape and crow were both voluntarily swallowed by the golden-eyed demon python? Now I understand that this is all due to the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror. Whether it is the demon ape or crow, they are both avatar-like existences split out from the golden-eyed demon python using the strength of the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror. This is why they were able to achieve perfect coordination within the beast tide and why they had no conflict at all, even coming together to fuse at the last moment and transform into the abyssal demon dragon.”
Feature had an excited expression and she began to speak even faster, “Qin Yu, let me tell you that this is your lucky chance. Just like what that little fox said, the full power of the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror can only be used by the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan. But with her blood, overcoming this limitation isn’t difficult for me. At that time, you can cultivate a formidable. And most importantly, the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror can help a person solidify a type of demon transformation state. I am absolutely confident that I can help you obtain a type of demonic body metamorphosis no weaker than an abyssal demon dragon!”
Her face flushed red as she spoke. She took a deep breath and continued, “How about it? Are you tempted? Let me tell you something, this sort of thing is only possible because I am here. You are probably excited and can’t wait to scream to the skies and pray to the heavens. Meeting me is your life’s greatest fortune! Even I am shocked by myself!”
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. Hearing her verbose babbling, he did understand her. But, all of this was based on one premise – he would have to pull out the so-called Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror from within the abyssal demon dragon’s body.
This woman, hadn’t he told her before that it was impossible for him to accomplish this himself?
City Lord Blackpool, Black Astral, and Shadowless Demon had joined forces, even swallowing super mighty invincibility pills, yet they had ended up in such a miserable state. Would he be any better?
Hehe, let alone pulling out the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror from inside the abyssal demon dragon’s body, he would likely be ripped to pieces with one collision.

“Feature, can you be a bit more realistic? This is your plan?” Qin Yu tried to endure it again and again before he finally clenched his jaws and roared, “You wouldn’t be deliberately tricking me into dying and then escaping by yourself right!?”
One couldn’t blame Qin Yu for having such sinister thoughts and assuming that Feature’s plan was a trick. It was just that her plan was full of holes that all led to a dead end.
Feature sneered at him, “Qin Yu, you think I would be as stupid as you? Since I said this plan, of course I have a way!”
She took out a bottle and placed it in front of them. It was translucent and one could faintly see a demon medicine the size of a longan fruit inside. It was deep red as if dyed in blood, and it emitted faint traces of red light. It was a strange and ghostly sight.
“First, what’s inside of this bottle is an ultra-strengthened version of the super mighty invincibility pill I refined. I spent a great deal of effort producing it over the last two days. I cannot explain the exact effects, but after taking it the effects will be good enough that you will be left screaming!”
She tossed it to Qin Yu and then pointed at him, “Secondly, within your body, there are actually two kinds of abyssal bloodlines. It’s just that one kind is too thin and is in a slumbering condition. I will help you stimulate it. Then using your Manifestation bloodline ability, you can go through a destructive combustion period, allowing you to erupt with the power of this abyssal bloodline for a brief period of time.
“Hum hum, don’t look at me like that. Destructive combustion will indeed cause irreversible damage to the bloodline, but it was in a slumbering condition to begin with. Even if it is destroyed like this, there won’t be any actual material losses to you.
“And to help you, I will extract the demon seed bloodlines of three Demon Commanders, refining them into your body. You can combust them and it will lengthen the time that you can last for. During this time period, as long as you obtain the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror, I promise that you won’t die. Once everything proceeds smoothly…hehe, that will be remarkable. At that time, you will know what it means to be ignorant of the kindness of others!”
Qin Yu had an indecisive expression. He looked down at the so-called ultra-strengthened version of the super mighty invincibility pill and his thoughts raced.
He understood Feature’s intent. But no matter how much she said, there was one point that didn’t change – if he wanted to survive, it all depended on him going all-out.
If he could defeat the abyssal demon dragon then he would live. If he couldn’t…he took a deep breath and nodded. “Alright. I agree. Feature, you had best be sure that nothing you said is wrong!”
If he wanted to survive, he needed to go all-out. This was a fair matter.
It was fine as long as Feature wasn’t lying to him…but thinking about it, this woman had no reason to harm him.
Feature slapped her chest, causing waves to surge. She lifted her chin and said with a valorous and heroic expression, “Those who believe in me will never die even in a hundred battles. You can rest assured!”
Three Demon Commander level bloodlines. The dead Yin Hanxin was one. The corpse of City Lord Blackpool was another one.
As for the third, Feature thought about the unconscious Black Astral.
Using Feature’s words, he was half-dead anyways. If so, he might as well contribute his bloodline too. He might be able to help them survive this disaster.
Dead people naturally couldn’t speak for themselves. So the bloodlines of Yin Hanxin and City Lord Blackpool were decided with just a word.
Although Black Astral was still alive, he remained unconscious. Old Fox hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
He had no idea why Liu Huo wanted to extract Black Astral’s bloodline, but in his belief, there was no way the incomparably formidable Liu Huo would covet Black Astral’s bloodline.
Moreover, Liu Huo said that things could be rebuilt after breaking them apart. After that, there was no more hesitation. Old black dog, it seems your luck isn’t that good anymore.
I hope that things are an exception this time. Otherwise if you die, don’t blame me for making the decision for you.
The three Demon Commander level demon seed bloodlines were mixed together by Feature using an unknown method. They were put into a jar where they tumbled together, thick and viscous, with air bubbles passing up as if it was boiling.
Qin Yu clenched his teeth and drank it all down. Beyond his expectations, it didn’t feel hot at all travelling down his throat, but felt cool instead.
But when it entered his belly, it was like he had swallowed a mass of fire. It burned, causing smoke to spew out from his orifices, as if he would spontaneously combust!
Luckily, this feeling only continued for a short period of time. Then all of the burning and heat faded away like a falling tide.
Hu –
He let out a long breath, looking at Feature and nodding, “It's fine. It’s much simpler than I imagined.”
Feature smiled. “That’s good, that’s good.”
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. He stared at her and said, “Don’t tell me that you had no idea what would happen to me after I drank that?”
Feature dryly laughed twice, “The facts proved that my craftsmanship is superb. After you drank it, nothing happened, right? Alright, alright, the abyssal demon dragon outside the city hasn’t fully recovered yet. While it’s ill, take its life. Now hurry up and leave. I am tired so I’m going to sleep. I won’t be seeing you off!”
She turned and walked away.
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. If it weren’t for the fact that she looked exhausted after refining the three Demon Commander level bloodlines together, he wouldn’t have let this go so easily.
He would endure it!
Feature was right about one thing. While the abyssal demon dragon was injured, the chances of success would be higher.

Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."
