Fire Province is one of the Three Thousand Provinces in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Its area is far smaller than Huang Province, where the Jun Family is located, in fact, it's only one percent of Huang Province's size.
But even at just one percent of Huang Province, Fire Province is still a vast province.
On Fire Province, there are no numerous and towering forces.
The Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom governs the entire Fire Province.
The Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom is an ancient kingdom force with a long Legacy, and although it's not as powerful as an Ancient Desolate Family, it has profound foundations and a renowned reputation.
Besides the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom, there are also the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, the White Tiger Ancient Kingdom, and the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom.
These Four Great Ancient Kingdoms are collectively known as the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom.
At this moment, inside the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's imperial palace, in a magnificent hall.
A middle-aged man dressed in a crimson-gold Vermillion Bird robe lay on a bed, his face dark, his entire body's Qi weak, as if gravely ill, his life like a flickering flame.
He was the Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
Beside the bed stood a beautiful woman.
She wore a red feathered dress, her figure graceful, her legs long and slender, and her skin snow-white.
Her long red hair seemed to dance like flames.
Her beautiful eyes were a stunning crimson crystal color, her nose high and straight, her lips vivid red, and her teeth sparkling.
Especially the vermilion mark on her forehead, which, combined with her entire jade-like face, made her appear as dazzling as a peach blossom, with unparalleled charm.
This woman was precisely Bai Yu'er, the Imperial Daughter of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
"Imperial Father, Yu'er will definitely find an Undying Medicine to save you," Bai Yu'er said, biting her lips tightly.
"Yu'er, it's hard on you. An Undying Medicine is not something that can be forced…" The Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord shook his head slightly, his voice extremely weak, filled with despair.
What a rare existence an Undying Medicine was.
Even those supreme Dao Lineages and Immortal Forces wouldn't have much in stock.
It was even less likely that they would be kind enough to give one to the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
Although the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom had strong foundations and possessed many top-tier Holy Medicines, it didn't have a single Undying Medicine.
After all, in the outside world, the emergence of an Undying Medicine would cause a storm of bloodshed, with people scrambling to obtain it; how could they possibly sell it to others?
"Imperial Father, rest assured, with Yu'er's abilities, I will definitely obtain an Undying Medicine!" Bai Yu'er's beautiful eyes were resolute, transforming her grief into strength.
Who was she?
The Imperial Daughter of the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom, with Vermilion Bird Divine Fire in her brows, possessing extraordinary talent.
Not to mention her appearance, which was considered top-tier in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Many young Prodigies from various forces were Bai Yu'er's admirers.
This had led to Bai Yu'er developing a somewhat noble and aloof personality.
She believed that she definitely had the ability to save her Imperial Father and the entire Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
"The young Prodigies from those forces are all useless; when they are needed, they can't even produce an Undying Medicine."
"And my fiancé Xiao Chen, as the First Imperial Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, he also couldn't bring an Undying Medicine."
Bai Yu'er walked out of the imperial palace, her jade face solemn.
Several years after her Imperial Father's incident, the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's national strength had declined day by day.
Afterward, the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom came to propose a marriage alliance.
At that time, the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom promised to give the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom an Undying Medicine.
Bai Yu'er and Xiao Chen, the First Imperial Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, had known each other since childhood. Although they had always maintained a distance, they were considered childhood sweethearts, and their relationship wasn't bad.
After weighing her options, Bai Yu'er agreed.
However, after such a long time, the engagement had been set long ago, but the Undying Medicine had never appeared.
And now, with the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's national strength weakened, it had no ability to demand it from the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.
Therefore, Bai Yu'er could only search for the Undying Medicine herself.
"What should I do? Imperial Father cannot fall…" Bai Yu'er couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Oh right, how could I almost forget about my good friend, Jun Linglong?" Bai Yu'er suddenly thought.
She had once met Jun Linglong by chance in a Secret Realm, and they had gotten along quite well.
Although they hadn't kept in touch much afterward, given Jun Linglong's character, she probably wouldn't ignore her.
Moreover, the Jun Family definitely possessed an Undying Medicine.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu'er's breathing quickened, and she quickly took out a Jade Slip to send a message.
On the other side, in a side hall of the Jun Family's Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Linglong also received the message.
"The Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord is gravely ill and needs an Undying Medicine for treatment?" Jun Linglong slightly furrowed her brows upon learning the news.
To be honest, if Bai Yu'er hadn't sent the message, she would have almost forgotten about this "good friend."
Although Bai Yu'er was an Imperial Daughter of an ancient kingdom, with a noble status.
Jun Linglong, however, was a Heavenly Immortal of an Ancient Desolate Family.
Even though she was currently Jun Xiaoyao's maid, when she stepped outside, she was still a noble lady of the Jun Family, sought after by all.
"The first thing she asks for is an Undying Medicine, her appetite isn't small, but we are acquainted after all." Jun Linglong slightly furrowed her brows.
But the problem was, she didn't have an Undying Medicine.
At this moment, a Divine Soul transmission entered Jun Linglong's mind.
"Linglong, make tea."
Jun Linglong quickly got up; this was Jun Xiaoyao calling her to make tea.
In a steaming, Immortal Qi-filled pool, Jun Xiaoyao was bare-chested, his body sculpted like immortal jade, shimmering with flowing light.
The eight-year-old Jun Xiaoyao had a slender figure.
Beside him, Jun Linglong entered, carrying a cup of Dao comprehension tea for Jun Xiaoyao.
Watching Jun Xiaoyao gradually mature and become increasingly handsome and elegant, Jun Linglong had a feeling akin to raising a young boy.
"What's wrong? Something on your mind?" Jun Xiaoyao took a sip of tea and said indifferently.
"Nothing." Jun Linglong's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Speak. Can you hide it from me?" Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile.
Jun Linglong bit her lip slightly, and finally, she told him about Bai Yu'er's situation.
"So that's it, an Undying Medicine? I'm not lacking them." Jun Xiaoyao shrugged.
At the Taiyue Ancient Stele, he obtained three Undying Medicines, and later, the Eighteenth Ancestor successively gave him five more.
In all these years, Jun Xiaoyao had only refined three, leaving him with five.
"Since she's your good friend, it's not impossible to give her one. Let her come over." Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.
"You're just giving it away?" Jun Linglong was slightly stunned.
She truly didn't understand the world of the rich!
However, Jun Linglong still nodded slightly and replied to Bai Yu'er.
A faint smile played on Jun Xiaoyao's lips.
He naturally didn't want to be a good Samaritan; he had his own thoughts and plans.
Let those pillars of the Righteous Path be the light of righteousness.
The persona of a Holy Mother wasn't suitable for him.
Furthermore, while Jun Xiaoyao didn't value an Undying Medicine highly, he wasn't so generous as to casually give it away.
"Those Zero Sequence of the Jun Family are not only supported by various factions, but also have affiliated Dao Lineage forces behind them."
"Even Jun Zhangjian has affiliated forces like the Ancient Sword Sect behind him."
Such affiliated forces are not subservient to the Jun Family, but rather to an individual.
"Although the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom's national strength has declined in recent years, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. It could be brought under our wing, and perhaps the other three ancient kingdoms could also be brought in as affiliated forces."
Jun Xiaoyao was calculating in his mind.
After all, he was the Zero Sequence; it would be somewhat shabby if he didn't have any affiliated forces behind him.
He needed to maintain a certain level of prestige.
As for Bai Yu'er, how could she possibly get an Undying Medicine for free?
Jun Xiaoyao was not running a charity; he wouldn't do anything that didn't benefit him.
And Bai Yu'er, upon receiving Jun Linglong's reply, was exceptionally surprised.
This feeling was like a timely rain after a long drought.
However, the message from Jun Linglong made Bai Yu'er ponder.
Because the one who would give her the Undying Medicine was not Jun Linglong herself.
"A Heavenly Immortal of the Jun family has agreed to give me an Undying Medicine. Could it be that he's taken a liking to me?"
Bai Yu'er couldn't help but think.
She was quite confident in her appearance, being the most beautiful woman in the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
She also had a good reputation throughout the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
In her mind, anyone willing to give her an Undying Medicine must be lusting after her.
"Sure enough, even the Prodigies of the Jun family can't escape common desires." Bai Yu'er felt a strange sense of disappointment in her heart.
The Prodigies of the Jun Family didn't seem as extraordinary and transcendent as she had imagined.
"But no matter what, I must first get the Undying Medicine to save Imperial Father."
Bai Yu'er shook her head and set off for Huang Province.
