Chapter: 1335 (1/2)
AST 1335 – Scouting Jade Emperor Bees, Mutated Demonic Spider, Tianhe Country
Since Qing Shui knew the old man’s condition, he had the confidence of having things within his control. After all, the old man’s life was within his grasp. Earlier, he was still worried that Yehuang Clan would threaten him. Now, he knew that it was just a false alarm.
Unlike Qing Shui and Old Master Yehuang, everyone else was astonished. Old Master Yehuang’s words made it very clear. The Longevity Noodles were really effective. If that was the case, when one reached the end of their lifespan, they would be able to have at least an additional 50 years of lifespan if they were to have the Longevity Noodles.
In their current situation, 50 years was very short but when one reached the end of their lifespan, even five or ten years could be said to be extravagant, let alone wanting another 50 years. This was especially true when one still had unfulfilled wishes at the end of their lifespan.
Another thing was that Qing Shui had said that he would be able to attain a breakthrough in his medical skills within 50 years at most or possibly even within a couple of years if he was lucky. When that happened, he could increase one’s lifespan even further. Putting aside whether that was the truth, there would definitely be people from the Yehuang Clan who would try it out. Right now, what they needed to do was to think of ways to get into a good relationship with this Miraculous Physician.
Qing Shui didn’t bring the Jade Steamed Bun since it had been quite a while and many people had eaten it before. Furthermore, there were so many people today and he didn’t have so much of it.
Qing Shui’s aim was not to sell his buns. Selling of the buns was just a means. Therefore, it was impossible for him to sell it to everyone or to sell in large batches. Other than the Longevity Noodles, he also brought along a small vat of Plum Blossom Wine.
The Plum Blossom Wine once again kicked up a commotion, causing wine from the Imperial Cuisine Hall to spread throughout the Yehuang City within a short amount of time. However, it was still impossible for everyone to get to try it. Qing Shui’s plan was to rake up the reputation.
Old Master Yehuang was very happy. He hadn’t expected to be able to eat something so delicious and drink wine so great within his lifespan. Humans were born with the instincts for food and sex, with food being the most important thing. It went to show how important food was.
“Great wine. Does the Miraculous Physician still have a lot of it?” Old Master Yehuang seemed a little impolite when he asked this. Asking the person who had presented a gift to see if he had a lot of it was as if asking for gifts from the person.
“This wine requires too long a time to make. It is made from plum blossoms that are several thousand years of age and needs to be stored for several thousand years to get to this taste. It’s even harder to get hold of this than the Longevity Noodles.” Qing Shui didn’t say much more.
How could Old Master Yehuang not know this? Otherwise, with his status, he wouldn’t have been so impolite to ask this.
“I don’t have much but I can gift Old Master with two vats. One can get addicted on drinking too much of it. It’ll make it such that you won’t want to drink any other wine. Therefore, it’s better for you to drink less of it. After all, it’s not practical to be drinking it for your entire life.”
“Then I shall thank the Miraculous Physician. It’s about time, let’s start the feast!”
Everyone stood up to toast to Old Master Yehuang before they went on with their own activities. Some went to get closer to members of the Yehuang Clan, some pulled connections. It was also very lively around Qing Shui.
However, Qing Shui didn’t appear to get too close to anyone. Neither did he make himself appear too distant either. Right now, he requires prestige, to build up his prestige as a Miraculous Physician. With that, in the future, people who wished to lay their hands on him would all have to consider his reputation as a Miraculous Physician.
Qing Shui didn’t stay for long before he stood up and bade goodbye to the people from Yehuang Clan. The members of Yehuang Clan had tried hard to get him to stay but it was all formalities. Therefore, Qing Shui politely rejected them and left with Soulsearch. He couldn’t become friends with Yehuang Clan.
Other than Qing Shui, there weren’t many who could leave the banquet early. Unless they hadimportant things to attend to, they would stay until the banquet ended. Powerful forces would make the weaker forces feel overwhelmed and honored just by appearing for a short moment at the latter’s birthday celebrations or at the opening of their trade associations. On the contrary, when weaker forces were to attend the celebrations for powerful forces, they would generally stay until the very end.
Old Master Yehuang was a Peak Martial Emperor existence. Although Qing Shui couldn’t sense his exact cultivation level, he knew that the Old Master wasn’t a False God cultivator. Even if there was a False God cultivator in the Yehuang Clan, the person wouldn’t be present.
Qing Shui didn’t know if Old Master Yehuang’s strength was at 300,000 suns, 500,000 suns or somewhere in between.
Thinking back on his own abilities, Qing Shui headed back to Qing Clan once. Right now, he had reached quite a high level of cultivation and most importantly, he had the identity of being a physician. With Qing Shui’s current abilities, it wouldn’t be much trouble for him even if he were to be dealing with a person who had a strength of 150,000 suns.
…
Time passed by quickly and another two months went by.
Everything went on smoothly during the two months but he didn’t attain any breakthroughs. His demonic beasts were still improving at a terrifying rate. Another pellet had appeared in Qing Shui’s Dantian, which was a result of the powers he had gotten from the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant. Although it wasn’t much, it was still quite a good amount. Qing Shui was in no hurry to refine it either.
Within the past two months, what had made Qing Shui the happiest was that both the Treasure Hunting Pig and the Jade Emperor Queen Bee had both become Grade Three Spiritual Medicinal Beasts and the medicinal herbs in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal were also growing at a tremendous rate. Qing Shui didn’t look at their age but only sensed their medicinal effects. It was fine if they had a good medicinal effect.
The Treasure Hunting Pig’s appearance hadn’t changed. It was still as cute as ever but its speed was now faster and its movements were sharper now. At the same time, the Jade Emperor Queen Bee had given birth to another batch of Jade Emperor Bees. However, this batch of Jade Emperor Bees were different from the ones before and had a strange spiritual Qi in their bodies. This gave Qing Shui the feeling that it should be related to the fact that the Jade Emperor Queen Bee had become a Spiritual Medicinal Beast.
Of course, these young Jade Emperor Bees weren’t Spiritual Medicinal Beasts but they should be Spirit Beasts. Since then, Qing Shui had been feeding them with the Jade Emperor Queen Bee Nectar from the Grade Three Spiritual Medicinal Beast. Not only that, Qing Shui had also added crystal physiques into the Jade Emperor Queen Bee Nectar.
The reason Qing Shui did all this wasn’t so that these young Jade Emperor Bees could become powerful demonic beasts but for them to become Scouting Bees. Qing Shui had always felt that he didn’t have enough information and he wished to let these Jade Emperor Bees spy for him, becoming his ears and eyes.
