Chapter 59 Surrounded by Crowds, He Escapes an Invitation
Ripples spread across the barrier light curtain at the entrance of the stone garden.
Four figures stepped in one after another.
The first person, dressed in a pure white fairy dress with a flowing gold belt, her face covered by a light veil, exuded an ethereal aura with every step.
Two female cultivators from Yaochi followed behind her, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi.
She walked up to Li Xian, nodded slightly, and spoke in a clear, melodious voice.
"Young Master Li's skills are divine; Yunxi admires him greatly."
There was no small talk.
There was no beating around the bush.
"Yaochi is currently compiling data on a batch of ancient medicinal field ruins, including ancient methods for cultivating humanoid divine medicines. If you are interested, young master, you may come to Yaochi for a chat, and Yunxi can borrow the data."
Give directly.
No preconditions are set, and no transaction is implied.
This is the style of Yaochi—
Show kindness first.
They later became acquainted.
Li Xian glanced at her.
The woman behind the veil had clear, unambiguous eyes, showing no signs of scheming. After all, she was a product of Yaochi, and was associated with the label of "big boobs, no brains."
"Thank you, Holy Maiden. I will visit you another day."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi nodded.
I stepped back and said no more.
The second person walked with a powerful stride and an imposing presence.
He wore a brocade robe and a jade belt, and there was a hint of dragon energy flowing between his brows.
The prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Xia Yiming.
"Brother Li!"
Xia Yiming laughed and stepped forward, as enthusiastic as if he were an old friend he had known for ten years.
"I'd long heard that Tianxuan Stone Workshop had produced a prodigy in Origin Arts, and seeing him today, I can confirm his reputation is well-deserved!"
He lowered his voice, but deliberately made sure those around him could hear:
"The Great Xia Dynasty has a private treasury in the Holy City, containing three ten-thousand-year-old Lesser Herbal Kings and an ancient sage's handwritten book. If Brother Li would do me the honor, I'll treat you to a drink tonight, and you can choose whatever you like from those items."
It implies enthusiasm, directness, and an undisguised attempt to win someone over.
The methods of an emperor involve using real, tangible benefits to overwhelm people.
Li Xian nodded:
"Brother Xia, I hope to trouble you another day."
The third person approached silently.
Jiang Yifei.
He was tall and imposing, with a handsome and refined appearance, and was rumored to resemble Hengyu.
As he stood there, Li Xian could sense an extremely restrained sharpness—like a sword hidden in its sheath, revealing only a sliver of cold light.
Jiang Yifei didn't laugh loudly or show any enthusiasm; he simply cupped his hands in greeting.
"The Jiang family, Jiang Yifei."
Five words.
no more, no less.
He glanced at the stone rubble beneath Li Xian's feet and said:
"The revival of the divine medicine requires at least three kinds of spiritual liquids from heaven and earth. One of them, Dragon Saliva Liquid, is in the possession of the Jiang family."
He paused for a moment.
"It's not a transaction."
"If you need it in the future, just come to the Jiang family to get it."
Done.
Turned around and left.
The imperial family's wealth and power were immense.
Li Xian watched his retreating figure.
'Jiang Yifei.'
A severely underestimated genius, whose imperial bloodline has been revived, and who cultivates both the Hengyu Imperial Scripture and the Undying Heavenly Art, making him a formidable force even against the second-generation descendant of the Great Emperor.
Li Xian slowly withdrew his gaze, and a faint fragrance wafted closer.
The fourth person stood three steps away.
Slender figure.
Dressed in white, whiter than snow.
Her face was covered with a light veil.
Miaoyu Nunnery.
An Miaoyi.
She didn't say anything.
She simply raised her hand, her slender fingers pinching the edge of the veil, and slowly pulled it down.
The movements are very slow.
So slow that everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to look.
The veil fell.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn waters rippling across the surface, her pupils clear and bright, with a glimmer of light hidden deep within.
Her nose was delicate and upturned, her lips were a touch of crimson, and her face was so exquisitely beautiful it seemed unreal.
Its purity is tinged with a captivating allure.
A touch of languor lingered within the cool air.
"Fairy."
Li Xian's gaze paused for a moment.
Only for a moment.
But An Miaoyi caught it.
She curved her lips into a smile.
A faint smile, a voice soft but not seductive:
"Myoyu Nunnery, Anmiaoyi. I have long admired Young Master Li's name."
She didn't make any demands or offer any bargaining chips.
He simply looked at him, his voice carrying just the right amount of curiosity and admiration:
"Young Master just mentioned that the Emperor led his sect to become immortals—Miaoyi is very interested in this story. May I ask if Young Master could enlighten her?"
consult.
It's not about courting, it's not about making a deal—
It places itself in the position of "seeker of knowledge," giving Li Xian a condescending attitude.
'clever.'
Li Xian withdrew her gaze and did not reply.
He glanced at the growing number of people gathering in the stone garden, and at the several terrifying auras approaching from the distant horizon.
'It's time to go.'
News of the elixir of immortality spread too quickly.
Stay here.
Those who come are not people who want to make friends.
He turned and walked out of the park, his demeanor elegant and composed, unperturbed by praise or criticism.
An Miaoyi watched Li Xian's retreating figure, then slowly put her veil back on.
Behind the veil, the smile in those eyes, as clear as autumn water, deepened.
……
The entrance to Daoyi Stone Archway.
A large group of people stood there, not doing anything, just crowding around.
The demon moon glimpsed Li Xian.
He leaned forward and rubbed his hands together.
Many old monsters were too ashamed to ask him to step forward.
"Is the deal still valid?"
"Okay." Li Xian glanced at Yao Yuekong and handed over the Insect King; it was too eye-catching. "When can we use the quota for the Dragon Transformation Pool?"
"Tomorrow will do."
Yao Yuekong smiled. "However—"
He took a half step closer and lowered his voice.
"What's the story behind your gourd?"
Li Xian glanced at him.
"For holding wine."
Yao Yuekong's lips twitched.
Excuse me.
Li Xiandao.
The demon moon walked away in vain.
He then signaled his men to clear a path for Li Xian.
But a group of old monsters and onlookers were not satisfied and hoped that Li Xian would produce a divine medicine.
"Gentlemen, what do you mean?"
The old folks quickly said—
"Well... why get angry, young man? We are genuinely interested in buying. If the price isn't right, we can discuss it further."
"That's right. Young friend, please sell the divine medicine to my sect. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
The situation that Li Xian feared most has occurred.
Cultivators live too long, live too long, and have too thick skin.
"Brother Li, I see that the seniors are genuinely interested in purchasing. If you are having trouble deciding, why not send the divine medicine to the Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace for auction as well, and let the highest bidder win?"
Yao Yuekong's eyes flickered.
With a smile on her face, she stepped forward again.
Li Xian's eyes flashed with coldness as he looked at Dao Yi Stone Archway, who seemed indifferent and uninvolved. He pulled out a black gourd from the Sea of Bitterness, intending to clear the way with killing.
The prince of Great Xia saw this.
Thinking that Li Xian was going to sell the dragon-patterned black gold sword, he immediately laughed loudly:
"I have already booked a banquet at Zuixianque and would like to invite Brother Li to attend."
"Miaoyi wishes to host a small banquet this evening. She wonders if the young master has the time to enjoy a good time."
An Miaoyi transmitted her thoughts, revealing herself to be one of the three great beauties of the Eastern Wilderness. Her beauty was unparalleled, and every smile and frown could captivate anyone, yet she possessed no seductive charm, making her even more virtuous than most saintesses.
Besides.
All around were various kinds of sound transmissions.
They even went so far as to openly invite him, offering him great wealth and high positions in an attempt to win him over.
In some people's eyes, besides the dragon-patterned black gold sword, divine medicine, and divine source, Li Xian's source technique is even more worthy of attention.
Regardless of which faction.
If a master of Origin Arts could join them, there would be many benefits.
Looking at the crowd that had gathered around—
Li Xian frowned for a long time before finally putting away the black gourd:
"Thank you all for your kindness, but I have an appointment with the Prince of Great Xia, so I can only decline your offer today."
Xia Yiming was pleasantly surprised.
He laughed heartily, pretending to be a hearty and generous person.
He affectionately took Li Xian's hand and walked out of Dao Yi Stone Archway.
The crowd had no choice but to leave.
The Central Plains Dynasty, even in the northern regions of the Eastern Wilderness.
They are all top-tier forces, true dragons crossing the river.
……
It went around in circles.
When the two arrived near Tianxuan Stone Archway, Li Xian spoke:
"Brother Xia, I'm truly exhausted from gambling on stones today. How about we reschedule our meeting at Drunken Immortal Palace for another day?"
The prince of Great Xia seemed to have anticipated this.
He nodded with a smile and personally escorted Li Xian into the stone archway, demonstrating the utmost respect and courtesy towards scholars.
Before parting, he expressed interest in the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword and instructed Li Xianruo to inform him immediately if she wanted to make a move.
