804: Chapter 213: I Wonder How Many Levels the Dragon Turtle Can Reach?
“This tea smells great, but it’s not steeped enough.
Send me a few pounds of tea leaves later, I’ll brew it myself!” Su He said, taking a whiff.
The tea was fresh and elegant, filled with a strong essence of life.
A single whiff could cure all diseases and prolong life for a mortal.
Drinking a cup could easily add over a thousand years to one’s life—as long as one could handle the strong nourishment of the tea and not die from the tea itself.
Emperor Luan shook his head, “Don’t even think about it!
The Sealed Emperor’s Palace has only one tea tree.
We can only harvest about ten leaves a year, and it takes a thousand years to make one pound of dry tea.
Even I can hardly bear to drink it myself.”
Were it not for the Fairy Ascension Platform descending soon and the need to adjust his condition to its peak, he really wouldn’t be willing to drink such precious tea.
Phoenix Chao Fei glanced at Su He with a face full of black lines.
This Turtle Kid is so embarrassing!
“If you want tea, ask your wife.
She has several tea trees!” Which of Ji Feixue’s treasures is less than this one?
Moreover, the combination of various types of tea trees improves concentration and health even more.
Su He shook his head and replied, “Is it the same?
That’s my own, I can drink it any time.
This is from the Sealed Emperor’s Palace.
If he really can’t stand losing face and gives it to me, he’ll have one less.
Who knows, maybe it’ll be this one that he lacks, and missing one step in his cultivation might mean dying at my hand someday.”
Phoenix Chao Fei was speechless while Emperor Luan laughed out loud.
With the laughter, he became even more cautious around Su He.
This turtle is no fool; stating things so brazenly as if he’s carefree but, in reality, makes others lower their guard against him in their subconscious by a notch.
That is what’s truly terrifying.
People’s prejudices are often formed inadvertently.
Prejudices can be good or bad, but a prejudice against an enemy—whether overestimating, underestimating, or misjudging—is unwise.
Su He greeted Gu Luo and Ancient Locust, then moved closer to the Wutong Tree where Phoenix Chao Fei was perched, transformed into a Peacock, and flew up to sit beside her.
He nudged Phoenix Chao Fei with his bird head and whispered, “Thanks for the Source Stone, Auntie!”
The Divine God Beasts always come prepared to the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, each carrying Source Stones.
They were going to cultivate on the Fairy Ascension Platform for ten years, a decade of doubled achievements.
How could they waste it?
Actually, Su He had brought some too.
Right after entering the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, Ji Feixue had Ya Ya send him a batch of Source Stones through Flying Sword Messaging.
But Su He had achieved Opening The Heaven!
Phoenix Chao Fei looked at him sideways, “Don’t cozy up to me.
We’re not close!
Nine out, thirteen back, not one less.”
Su He: “…”
Skipping that topic, the interest was too burdensome, the weight of the Source Stones that Su He could not bear.
He’d have to go and raid the Houdou and Zhu Yan Clan strongholds for a batch later.
Not all Zhu Yan were his people—perhaps the Zhu Yan Clan was betting on both sides!
“Auntie, the Fairy Ascension Platform has yet to descend, why has everyone stopped fighting?” Here at the Sealed Emperor’s Palace and the Mystery Huang World, there was an unexpected peace, not even one looking for trouble.
Phoenix Chao Fei gestured above her head.
Above her head, it looked as if the sky had cracked open, a jagged hole slowly expanding, and a beam of light shone down from the sky, landing on the peak of a mountain.
“That’s a sign of the Fairy Ascension Platform opening.
In the area illuminated by that light, combat is forbidden,” Phoenix Chao Fei explained to him.
Su He lacked a lot of the common knowledge regarding cultivation and needed someone to guide him closely.
When living with Ji Feixue, she only gave him tips on cultivation, rarely touching on other aspects.
Su He thought about it for a moment, then turned to Gu Luo, “Uncle Luo, after leaving the Mystery Yellow Cave, would it be alright to borrow Elder Mi?”
Su He felt that Gu Luo’s Mi Man was quite excellent, not only could she train the Mermaid, but she could also teach him about cultivation common sense.
Gu Luo laughed heartily, “As long as Elder Mi is willing, I have no objections.”
Mi Man, huddled to one side, slightly bowed her head.
Everything was back to square one.
If it weren’t for the fact that the young master ascended too rapidly, she would still be by his side right now.
Su He looked around.
Most of those present were familiar faces, and even those who weren’t were from known powers.
The Mystery Huang World dominated a large territory, with all of the Ten Major Immortal Doors present, as well as other noble clans and sects.
However, after searching around, Su He didn’t see anyone from Yunmeng Ze.
Neither the Yunmeng Dragon King nor Miss Liu Ru were there.
Leaning on government offices and military groups, the Sealed Emperor’s Palace occupied almost a vast territory.
Next came powers from All Heavens and Myriad Realms, many gathering around the two major ruffians, with others who preferred to be lone wolves, like the Buddha World.
The group of baldies surprisingly did not align with the Sealed Emperor Camp but instead occupied a mountain, far away and facing Gujing Pavilion.
On another mountaintop, there was another group of people whose aura and appearance had an inseparable connection with the Sealed Emperor’s Palace.
But Su He saw the tension between them, drawn swords and ready bows.
The deposed Crown Prince?
Su He observed the middle-aged man among them, judging by his age, he should be about the same as Emperor Luan.
His bearing was quite similar as well.
The deposed Crown Prince played with a Bright Pearl in his hand, and looking at Emperor Luan, he seemed to have a condescending air.
Su He followed his gaze towards Emperor Luan and chuckled before speaking, “It looks like Your Majesty isn’t having a good time in this Mystery Yellow Cave session!”
Emperor Luan took a sip of tea, set down his cup, and looked at Su He with a helpless sigh, “Extremely bad!
The core of the plan was taken by you, I lost the White Tiger Treasure to you as well, and I was beaten by your respectable wife.
That would all be bearable, but after finally escaping combat, I was ambushed by petty thieves, and even the imperial dynasty’s treasure was stolen!”
He did not hide his failures in the least, as if not at all afraid of affecting the morale of the Sealed Emperor’s followers or the Sealed Emperor’s position in All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the deposed Crown Prince.
Su He also looked in that direction.
The deposed Crown Prince and the young man who had intervened in the battle between Zhanxiu and the Crown Prince were remarkably similar, and also bore a striking resemblance to the Patriarch of the Prison Clan from Ancient times.
When it came to nobility of blood, he must be above Emperor Luan.
