Chapter 1820: Agerasia Dan; Anger
Agerasia Dan; Anger . . .
Ling Wuxie was shocked. After a while, he sat down and said, "I didn't say I was going to give nothing in return! Supreme Dan beads are rare. I can't just take them. I don't want to owe you. You are just like Bai Chen, and Bai Chen never gives anything to others for free. Just tell me you want money, and it will be much easier… Come on. You are the One Meter Higher Sky, aren't you? I heard. Just don't call yourself a hero…"
"What did you say?" Cha-Eun Xiao was angry.
"I… Nothing! I was saying… that you were such a hero with a kind heart! I am impressed… I admire you… Let's focus on the business, shall we? Just tell me the price, and I will pay!" Ling Wuxie tried all he could to fawn on Cha-Eun Xiao, which made the others feel sick!
'That is some bootlicking expertise!'
'The prime leader of the Xie League. Impressive!'
"You know how rare and valuable my dan beads are, so stop talking about money." Cha-Eun Xiao laughed and said, "I heard, the five royal clans have some special Spiritual Qi Stones. I want about one million pieces. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Ling Wuxie was furious. "What? That is a huge problem! Do you know how rare the Spiritual Qi Stone is? One million pieces? Come on! What are you thinking? Besides, they belong to the royal clan members. I don't have them! Just kill me… I don't want to live anymore…"
Cha-Eun Xiao nodded and said, "Come on. Don't be pessimistic. If you don't have them, then there is no deal. That is all. You don't have to die…"
Ling Wuxie was gloomy.
'That's true. I can't give him what he wants, so there is no deal. I shouldn't have talked about death. He doesn't care… I can't do this!'
He regretted it so much.
Ling Wuxie had gotten some dan beads, just not as many as Master Bai and the two ladies. He got a few Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads, two Nine Turns Heart Dan beads. He was quite happy about it, so when he was drunk, he told his sisters about the Agerasia Dan. "Normal Agerasia Dan is nothing. I can't keep your beauty for a long time. I saw some supreme-level Agerasia Dan beads. It keeps people young forever!"
No women could resist such a treasure. His sister kept asking him about it.
Ling Wuxie was drunk, and he couldn't control his mouth. He kept telling everything he knew. "The man is such a great dan-maker. I found him while I was traveling. We are good friends. I am going to ask him for some dan beads, and you can count on me! Just wait!"
Ling Wuxie didn't know what he had gotten himself into.
His sister was glad, but she couldn't be sure about it. "Really?"
After all, supreme dan beads were extremely rare in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, not to mention Supreme Agerasia Dan beads. Every woman wanted it, but it was impossible to get any. The lady of the Ling Clan was a decent lady in a big clan. She wouldn't believe it so easily!
"I am telling the truth!" Ling Wuxie said, "I am telling you… The man and I, we are good friends. If not that I asked him for help, Bai Chen and his maids could never get those dan beads!"
The lady of the Ling Clan heard that, so she traveled three hundred and seventy thousand miles to ask Bai Chen about it. After knowing the truth, the lady was excited!
"My girls got the dan beads thanks to your brother. Your brother does have a good relationship with the marvelous doctor."
Master Bai knew that it could only be huge trouble, so he pushed everything to Ling Wuxie before things lost control. "Think about it. I didn't know the dan-maker. Wuxie must be an important man to the dan-maker. Otherwise, why would the dan-maker give me the dan beads? You know what? My girls admire the dan-maker the most and then Wuxie, and I am only the third!"
That was totally a lie. Lady Ling didn't know the truth. She believed that the dan-maker must be a great man. Master Bai and Master Ling must be famous enough to talk to the dan-maker. Wan and Xiu were only maids. Master Bai didn't know the dan-maker, so it must be Ling Wuxie!
"Can Wuxie get the dan beads?" The lady's eyes lit up. She asked Bai Chen.
"Of course. You must know. When your brother met the dan-maker for the first time, he gave the dan-maker his Golden Soul Tower!"
Master Bai sold his brother out without hesitation. "You know what? If there is anybody in the world who can get the Agerasia Dan from the dan-maker, it must be Ling Wuxie, your brother!"
Ling Wuxie's sister was so glad. She left Bai Chen and returned to Ling Wuxie immediately.
The lady started to urge Ling Wuxie to get her some Agerasia Dan ever since. However, Cha-Eun Xiao was still in the Land of Han-Yang, and Ling Wuxie couldn't lower down his power before resting for a long time. Therefore, Ling Wuxie never did what his sister asked.
His sister was a reasonable person. She was in a hurry, but she knew it wasn't easy.
After half a month, Ling Wuxie's mother found him. "Wuxie, I heard that you could get some supreme-level Agerasia Dan beads. Is that true?"
Ling Wuxie knew it wasn't a good sign. He kept sweating, but he couldn't deny it. He had to say yes. What he hoped was that his mother was the last one who asked him for the dan beads…
'I am in big trouble…'
After that…
His father's concubines suddenly became unbelievably nice to him. They kept giving him all kinds of valuable things, delicious food…
After that, they started to ask him for the dan beads. They wanted the Agerasia Dan so much! They just couldn't wait!
At first, they all asked him nicely. As time went by, they started to push him… Nine ladies kept forcing Ling Wuxie to get the dan beads they wanted…
Unluckily, Ling Wuxie's own ladies heard about it too!
It wasn't hard to imagine how miserable Ling Wuxie's life became. His life was full of darkness after that.
His mother, sister, his father's nine concubines, eight ladies of his own… Nineteen women!
Nineteen women who Ling Wuxie didn't dare to mess with! He was under big pressure this time!
He promised one lady, so he had to promise the others too. It meant he had to get at least nineteen Agerasia Dan dan beads from Cha-Eun Xiao.
In fact, he had to get more than nineteen…
Even if he got twenty Agerasia Dan beads this time, he was sure that they would be taken away before he could give them to the ladies he promised!
Ling Wuxie had been waiting for Cha-Eun Xiao, but he hadn't heard anything about Cha-Eun Xiao. When he left the Land of Han-Yang, Cha-Eun Xiao was only at Sky Origin Stage. Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't even defeat an ant in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. He believed Cha-Eun Xiao had to spend over a hundred years to get to the Human Realm Upon Heavens!
Unexpectedly, news about the One Meter Higher Sky, the Xiao Monarch, spread to the world. Ling Wuxie was surprised, so he decided to come and find Cha-Eun Xiao as soon as he could. However, he was fighting the Hall of Returning Nature at that time, so he had to wait a little longer…
When the Xie League, the House of Chaotic Storms, and the Hall of Returning Nature finished the war, Cha-Eun Xiao and the Monarch's Hall was fighting his own enemies.
Ling Wuxie wasn't shameless enough to go and ask Cha-Eun Xiao for dan beads while Cha-Eun Xiao was in trouble.
He even thought about sending people to help Cha-Eun Xiao. He couldn't. He and Meng Wuzhen were both princes, and the war between them was a war between two royal families. If he helped Cha-Eun Xiao, things might become complicated!
He had to wait, and he was worried. He was afraid that Cha-Eun Xiao would die. Finally, he heard the news about Cha-Eun Xiao's victory, so he came to the Monarch's Hall immediately.
After some unimportant talk, he frankly asked for the dan beads. Ling Wuxie thought that it should be easy to get the dan beads because he thought Cha-Eun Xiao was just somebody from some lower realm. He thought he could just give Cha-Eun Xiao some purple spirit coins and bought the dan beads. After all, Cha-Eun Xiao made dan beads easily. He was sure Cha-Eun Xiao would just give him as many as he wanted!
However, he was wrong. That made him feel like shit!
"Brother Cha, we are friends. Let's be honest with each other. I don't have the Spiritual Qi Stone." Ling Wuxie said, "They are only served for the five Sky Kings. Within one year, only a few pieces are produced… Even the crown princes can't easily get them… Brother Cha, I really can't get that for you…"
Ling Wuxie looked very sad. "Can you ask for something else instead? Please, Brother Cha…"
Cha-Eun Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Something else?"
"Absolutely something incredible!" Ling Wuxie nodded.
"Brother Ling, we are friends, so we should be frank with each other. I don't need any treasures anymore…" Cha-Eun Xiao casually said. He had reached the fourth level of the East-rising Purple Qi and unlocked two floors of the Mountain of All Medicines. He had more valuable treasures than the entire Human Realm Upon Heavens. He really didn't need anything else…
"However, Brother Ling, I am still interested in rare metals, special crystals, and special weapons…" Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and said, "For example, the Golden Soul Tower is nice. I have been keeping it with me all the time. If you can give something like that, I can give you three to five dan beads in return!"
Ling Wuxie looked so upset. "Brother Cha, you are the One Meter Higher Sky so is your price. My Golden Soul Tower for only five dan beads, really? I have only one Golden Soul Tower. I don't have anything as good as it anymore!"
Cha-Eun Xiao humphed and said, "I have told you the price. If you don't have what I want, I am not giving you what you want! Don't think my Agerasia Dan is nothing to me. You can try to find them somewhere else. I don't mind…"
"Come on. We are friends. How could you do this to me?" Ling Wuxie said, "That Golden Soul Tower I gave you was my life treasure… Come on…"
Cha-Eun Xiao rolled up his eyes and said, "That is why I am giving you the chance. If Master Bai comes to ask for the dan beads, he gets nothing!"
Ling Wuxie sighed.
Cha-Eun Xiao just didn't give in. At last, Ling Wuxie took out all kinds of treasures and weapons he had, and Cha-Eun Xiao finally nodded.
There were two Helpless Herbs, which were extremely valuable plants. The Helpless Herb could bring people back from death for real. It could rebuild a physical body for the person who died and fully restore a person's power! It was unbelievably powerful. Even the Mountain of All Medicines didn't have any Helpless Herbs!
"Fine. For these junks, I will give you twenty-five Agerasia Dan beads." Cha-Eun Xiao said, "When you are ready to leave the City of Chaos, come to me and you will get the dan beads. Look. One is enough for one person. Eating more won't work better."
Ling Wuxie said, "Yes, I see."
'I am losing too much for these things!'
'All those valuable things I had, I lost them all for just twenty-five Agerasia Dan beads. They are useless for a cultivator…'
Ling Wuxie felt that he was the most foolish fool in the world.
However, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't let the ladies down.
If he had the chance to take the dan beads back and gave it up, he was going to die in misery!
He had his pockets emptied this time, but it relieved him.
He finished the job… There were a few more than the ladies needed…
He lost something, but he saved his life…
"Brother Ling, everything has a price. How much do you think my dan beads are? How much do you have to spend if you want to buy one supreme Agerasia Dan bead from somebody else? Look. If you give me what you are wearing, I can give you one hundred." Cha-Eun Xiao looked at Ling Wuxie and said with a smile, "I will give you one hundred dan beads, Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan, Agerasia Dan, or even Nine Turns Heart Dan. Whatever you like. One hundred."
Ling Wuxie was angry. "Don't even think about it!"
Cha-Eun Xiao laughed.
That was right. Ling Wuxie's clothes looked unbelievably ugly, making him look like a clown. However, Cha-Eun Xiao felt its strong spiritual power. He was sure the clothes would definitely keep Ling Wuxie alive even in a fight against some Undead Stage cultivators.
"It is one of my father's most valuable treasures. You can't get it! No matter what you give me in return!" Ling Wuxie drank the liquor and rolled his eyes up.
"Oh, I never asked about your family." Cha-Eun Xiao said, "I thought you were a member of the royal families. I guess I was wrong."
Ling Wuxie smiled and said, "You are just like Bai Chen. You just can't stop thinking. You think and think, but that is just what you think, not the truth."
Chihuo whispered to Cha-Eun Xiao, "He must be the descendant of the Carefree Lord."
"The Carefree Lord?" Cha-Eun Xiao said. He tried to think of the information about the Carefree Lord. As he realized who the man was, he took a cold breath.
Over a hundred thousand years before, the two Supreme Masters died in the fight. Heroes came up and fought for the top of the world. The five Sky Kings were the best, so each of them ruled one place, the north, the south, the east, the west, and the middle area. The Great Master Cha rose up after that, so he became the sixth of the most powerful men in the world. However, there were still others who were equally powerful, and the Carefree Lord was one of them!
Nobody knew how powerful the Carefree Lord was. He never cared about his fame, so he spent most of his time traveling around the world. Besides, he was so powerful. Whoever fought him had died!
Nobody in the Human Realm Upon Heavens dared to ignore his power.
He was a powerful cultivator, but that was not all. He was the East Sky King's sworn brother, who was at an equal position with the East Sky King.
In the Glaze Sky, the Glaze Sky King named him the Carefree Honor Lord, the Honor.
In the South Sky, he was the Saint Carefree Lord.
Who dared to mess with such a powerful man?
Ling Wuxie was his son.
When Chihuo whispered, the Green Water Lord stared at Chihuo with anger in his eyes.
Cha-Eun Xiao and Ling Wuxie were both curious about the two old men's problems, but they knew it wasn't a good time to ask about it.
The deal was done. It should be a relief for everybody. However, the two old men still wanted to kill each other. Ling Wuxie stood up and said goodbye. He had to go to the Seven Lotus Clans. Cha-Eun Xiao didn't ask him to stay; he just told him to drop by again someday. He saw Ling Wuxie off. The Green Water Lord kept looking back at Chihuo with killing intent in his eyes.
"What was that, Chihuo? You told me you had lost contact with the others of the Seven Colored Lords." Cha-Eun Xiao was confused.
Chihuo was furious. "Humph. That man is such a contemptible man!"
Cha-Eun Xiao asked, "Can you tell me what it is about? I want to know why he is such a contemptible man."
"Back in the old days, the seven of us got the name Seven Colored Lords by luck. We weren't so close to each other. Lvshui, Huangshang, Lantian, and I, we are four sworn brothers, so we are close, unlike the other three.
"When the seven of us fought against our enemy one day, we got a treasure map. The map belonged to a great king in the history… It was about the great man's martial arts and treasures…
"The Great King Fentian was defeated by Supremacy Ji. His properties were missing… The map was the guide. It was precious to us.
"We agreed to look for the treasures together. After searching for twenty years, we finally knew where the treasures were. We went there together, but nothing was left for us… It was empty.
"The seven of us were equally powerful. The four of us were brothers, so we got to decide that the four of us kept the map. In fact, as we checked that place, we found that the treasures were taken during those twenty years…"
"That was to say the man who took the treasures was one of us… Suspicion grew among us. Twenty years was not a short time. Anybody had been alone for some time…" Chihuo said, "We couldn't always stay together, could we? Everyone had his own life!
"The Seven Colored Lords never trusted each other anymore. The other three men left. In fact, the four of us weren't together anymore.
"Lantian came to me and told me that Lvshui's wife got a new coat, which was the Fire Phoenix Coat. It was extremely valuable. The Great King Fentian was known to be good at fire power…
"Lantian and I thought that we should ask Lvshui about it. Lvshui and Huangshang came to us first. They said I took the treasures… It was his word against mine… We ended it with a fight…"
Chihuo made a long sigh. "The four of us all got wounded… The brotherhood was gone… We weren't together anymore…
"After collecting more and more information, all the evidence pointed at Lvshui. Lvshui hated me the most…"
Chihuo lowered his head. "Now, we are each other's worst enemy…"
"I haven't seen Lvshui for tens of thousands of years until just now…" Chihuo said, "Why was he staying low alone? He must be the one who took the treasures!"
"Don't jump into conclusions. You didn't do it, yet you were staying low as well…" Cha-Eun Xiao blandly said, "Chihuo, we are friends. I believe you… If you did that, you wouldn't be just at this level. If you had the treasures from the Great King Fantian, you wouldn't need to risk your life to take the eggs from the dragon and phoenix…"
Chihuo angrily said, "Lord Monarch, you could see it clearly after spending a short time with me! Lvshui knew everything about it, yet he chose to ignore the facts! He was pretending! He is a contemptible man! He must have stolen the treasures!"
Cha-Eun Xiao sighed and shook his head.
He felt that Lvshui was truly angry, not pretending…
Chihuo was too angry to listen to any other explanation. Cha-Eun Xiao decided not to say more. He sighed and said, "Master, sometimes we can't trust even our own eyes. There could be something else you don't know yet. Calm down first!"
Chihuo was still angry, but he said, "I will calm down."
Cha-Eun Xiao knew Chihuo wasn't being honest, so he stopped talking.
After all, it was something in the old man's heart for tens of thousands of years. It wouldn't be easy to change.
"Let's go. Let's restore our power first.
"The Hall of Returning Nature won't just stop attacking us. I am afraid they are coming soon… You are the best of us. If you are not at your prime when they come to us, that will be disappointing!"
Cha-Eun Xiao said, "When they come again, they will send the best men they have, who have been hiding all these days…" Cha-Eun Xiao looked in the distance.
He wasn't afraid of the arrival of the Hall of Returning Nature. In fact, he was a bit excited about it.
…
Tens of thousands of miles away!
– Pang! –
A piece of jade ruyi broke into pieces!
Meng Wuzhen almost cracked his teeth when he gritted his teeth!
The Red Phoenix was covered in wounds. She had passed out. She did everything she could to make it back to the Hall of Returning Nature. Once she was back, she said something before passing out.
"Master… We lost everybody in the battle… I… am the only…"
What she said was like a huge thunderclap striking in Meng Wuzhen's head.
'We lost everybody!'
'I am the only…'
'What is this about?'
Meng Wuzhen wasn't stupid. He knew that his men had all died in the battle. The Red Phoenix was the only person who made it back. The others were all dead!
The Two Tigers, the Golden Phoenix, the Four Kong Warriors, the Eight Sky Masters, over one hundred thousand men, and the two Undead Stage cultivators, died!
It meant eighty percent of the good men of the Hall of Returning Nature were lost in the war!
Meng Wuzhen spent half of his life to build it up.
It hurt him so much!
After a while, Meng Wuzhen shouted to the sky!
"Cha-Eun Xiao! I am going to kill you!"
"Monarch's Hall!"
