Immortal Cultivating Dynasty

Emperor Chiang was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to understand Yang Xuan's words. He said with a bitter smile, "Mr Yang is really talented and intelligent. Not bad. Just as you thought. There is a limit to the number of Earth Spirit Liquid each person consumes. After hundreds of years of experimenting, basically, it's only half a pot. "    

"Only the Earth Spirit Liquid that we consume at the beginning will have the effect of improving one's constitution. If we consume more, it will be similar to the spirit stone. It can only be used to absorb Spirit Aura and assist in cultivation."    

"So that's how it is."    

Yang Xuan nodded his head as he thought about it.    

Initially, he was a little curious. After all, things that could improve one's physique were extremely rare. Even some major powers wouldn't be able to avoid it.    

After all, this represented the heights one could reach in cultivation.    

However, if there was a limit to the range of improvement, it would be reasonable. In addition to the extremely low yield, even ordinary great factions would not be interested even if they knew about it.    

After all, it would be useless to exchange a few years for a small improvement in one's aptitude.    

Of course, this was only Yang Xuan's guess.    

To cultivators like them who had no one to rely on or came from an ordinary background, any improvement in aptitude was something that could only be chanced upon by luck.    

And this Earth Spirit Liquid could already be said to be a great gift.    

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Xuan immediately waved his hand and stored the Earth Spirit Liquid and spirit stone into his storage bag. After that, he stood up, cupped his fists and bowed, and said, "Since that's the case, it would be impolite for this Yang to refuse such a rare item!"    

"That's exactly what I should do. I hope that Mr Yang doesn't take the matter from before to heart."    

"King Chiang is being too serious. I am naturally not that kind of narrow-minded person. In the future, Brother Wu and I will still be Fellow Daoist. Let's just treat the matter from before as a misunderstanding!"    

Since he had already received the gift, Yang Xuan naturally would not put on a straight face. After smiling calmly at the man surnamed Wu, he even cupped his hands together.    

This action of his frightened the burly man surnamed Wu quite a bit. He hurriedly stood up and bowed back and forth. "Senior Yang, this Fellow Daoist of yours is killing a junior!"    

"No matter. There are only a few of us present today. There is no need to be so clear about it."    

Yang Xuan had no concept of seniority. Now that he had obtained the Earth Spirit Liquid, his mood was even better. He immediately waved his hand with an indifferent expression.    

"Alright!"    

Seeing that the two of them had completely let go of their worries, Emperor Chiang immediately waved his hand and said, "Quickly pour some wine for the Immortal Master!"    

A few female servants kneeling at the side of the table moved their bodies slightly. They picked up the exquisite wine pot on the table and filled each of them with a cup of wine.    

"Come, let me toast Mr Yang first."    

Emperor Chiang appeared very open-minded. He raised the wine cup and downed it in one gulp.    

"This Wu toasts to senior."    

"Hehe, this old man also toasts a cup to Fellow Daoist."    

Both of them downed their drinks in one gulp and looked at Yang Xuan with smiles on their faces.    

Yang Xuan did not really know how to drink, but he could not push it away at this moment. He lifted his wine cup and drank it just like them. Just as he was about to speak, a voice sounded from the large hall.    

"Haha, the banquet has already begun. This old man is late. I hope that Your Majesty can atone for your crimes."    

A hunchbacked figure walked in. He held a wooden cane in his right hand. It seemed to be twisted by a few branches. There was a luminous pearl the size of half a fist on top of the cane. It was crystal clear and did not match the body of the cane.    

This person was covered in a black robe. Even though the hall was brightly lit, only half of his face could be seen. His skin looked very good, as if he was a young man.    

However, the strange thing was that the voice of this person was extremely old, as if he was about to be buried. He was weak, and even the hand holding the cane was covered with wrinkles and extremely withered.    

The guards outside the hall did not stop him, and he walked straight into the hall.    

Emperor Chiang didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Elder Lee, what are you talking about? Please take a seat. The banquet has just begun."    

"That's good."    

Another very old voice was heard. The old man first turned his head to look at Yang Xuan. Then, he slowly sat down on the empty seat.    

"Mr Yang, let me introduce you. This is Elder Li, a consecrate of Chiang Country."    

“ Oh? I've seen Li Fellow Daoist before."    

Yang Xuan frowned slightly and cupped his hands towards the old man.    

"Fellow Daoist Yang? I have heard of you before. You have already reached the Third Stage at such a young age. You have really made me, an old man, feel ashamed of myself!"    

"Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. I am just lucky. I have just entered this realm, how can I be compared to you guys?"    

Yang Xuan said with a fake smile, and didn't pay any more attention to Elder Li.    

This man gave him a very strange feeling, especially when he was standing in the hall. The Spiritual Force in his body was moving, as if it had been triggered.    

This old man was obviously a little strange. When he looked at him earlier, his body even revealed a trace of killing intent.    

This killing intent was extremely faint, to the point that it was barely noticeable. If it was not for his sharp divine senses, he would definitely not have been able to detect it. From the expressions of the others, it was obvious that they did not notice it.    

This was really difficult for Yang Xuan to understand.    

He was sure that he had never seen or heard of this person before. Naturally, there wouldn't be any grudges between them.    

However, he believed that he was not wrong about that killing intent. Even though the old man had quickly put it away, it did not escape his senses.    

It was also because of this that he did not want to talk to this person.    

In the end, he was just a hasty passerby to the Chiang Country. If he could find a way to leave, he would not want to stay for even a moment longer. It was better to stay away from this potential disaster.    

Yang Xuan's silence did not affect the atmosphere in the hall. Emperor Chiang still had a happy expression on his face. He raised his glass again and again. Yang Xuan did not want to embarrass him, so he kept talking and laughing with him. The other three people seemed to be there to serve as a foil.    

The feast lasted for nearly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After three rounds of drinking, Yang Xuan wanted to take his leave because he was too drunk.    

As a matter of fact, after reaching the Third Stage, cultivators wouldn't be affected by ordinary alcohol anymore. All the alcohol would be dispelled by the Spirit Aura in their bodies, and wouldn't affect their mind.    

However, Emperor Chiang was naturally a smart person. He didn't expose the truth and only asked someone to arrange a place for him to stay.    

This was a forest garden behind the Imperial Palace. It was not as luxurious as the main hall, but the decorations were also extremely exquisite. The environment was even more elegant, as if it was specially made for cultivators.    

There were many guards around the garden, but there were only two maids inside. Apart from them, there was no one else.    

After the four maids led him to this place, they immediately said, "Lord Immortal Master, this is where you rest. The four of us will be waiting here. If there is anything, just tell us."
