Chapter 2333: with translation of chapter title

Tianlin, aside from the initial surprise, quickly reacted and readily nodded in agreement.

Not only because his own ancestors had nodded, but also secretly, the Heavenly Family's ancestor sent a mental transmission to Tianlin.

"Kid, Huang Lao promised me that from now on, we two old men can eat Ye Zhangqing's meals however we like, without loss."

Upon hearing this, Tianlin immediately beamed with joy; with these words settled, the future food problem was resolved.

In that case, although a single Nine-Heavens Precious Tree is painful to part with, it is not unacceptable.

Actually, as for the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree, Tianlin and Miao Qianqian don't consider it especially important.

This could be extremely useful for the family's other younger disciples; after all, having this Nine-Heavens Precious Tree basically means that peers of the same generation could at least have seven or eight people reliably achieve the Ancient Immortal realm.

It could greatly enhance a family's or sect's overall strength.

It serves as a safety net; every generation is like that.

This is where the true preciousness of the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree lies.

As for Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, given their talents, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal realm is a certainty.

Whether they have the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree or not makes no difference; it merely changes how long it takes—more or less time.

Therefore, as individuals, the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree truly isn't something that would make them overly concerned.

Thus, with Huang Lao's offered price, it's no surprise that Tianlin agreed.

However, Miao Qianqian was unaware of this; upon learning that Ye Zhangqing still intended to persuade their Wushen Palace, she pouted and said.

Her own grandmother is not easy to persuade; even she is no exception.

Otherwise, regarding the matter of the Wu family's poisonous insect holy worm earlier, Miao Qianqian would not have been so troubled.

It is precisely because the grandmother is extremely hard to persuade that Miao Qianqian feels so helpless.

"Get ready; we'll set out for the Western Frontier tomorrow, kid. Can you make the trip?"

Huang Lao ignored Miao Qianqian and instead looked at Ye Zhangqing as he spoke.

Since we already know the news of the Nine-Heavens Divine Tree, we should obtain it as soon as possible, lest any mishap arise.

As for the commotion caused by the Nine-Heavens Divine Tree's emergence, as long as we can persuade the Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace, Huang Lao is confident he can safeguard it.

He had already discussed this with Zuo Fu; the two of them joining forces means that, with neither the Wushen Palace nor the Heavenly Family intervening, no one has the ability to seize it.

As for the Ultimate Bliss Palace and the Myriad Star Sea, Huang Lao and his group are confident they can handle them.

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, perhaps only the Ultimate Bliss Palace might vie for it; the Myriad Star Sea is too far away, belonging to overseas territories.

Faced with Huang Lao's inquiry, Ye Zhangqing nodded and said.

"I have no problem."

"Then it's settled; we'll depart tomorrow."

After saying that, Huang Lao and the Heavenly Family's ancestor left; Tianlin and Miao Qianqian also didn't linger long, exchanged a few brief pleasantries, and then left as well.

It was mainly Miao Qianqian who spoke.

"Should I go ahead and talk to the grandmother beforehand to sound her out?"

Miao Qianqian, however, leaned toward Ye Zhangqing's side and was also willing to speak a few kind words for her.

However, regarding this, Ye Zhangqing shook his head and refused.

"For now, it's unnecessary; better to wait for Huang Lao to act personally."

At that level of power, Ye Zhangqing and his companions couldn't interject; let Huang Lao speak himself.

Seeing them off, that evening Ye Zhangqing also mentioned the matter to Bai Hua Xianzi and the other women.

"My lord, are you going to the Western Frontier?"

"Yes, the Nine-Heavens Divine Tree is too important; Huang Lao's meaning is to obtain it as soon as possible."

"We also want to go with you, my lord, but this intelligence..............."

On Ye Zhangqing's side, the canteen had just been expanded; many matters were keeping him busy, especially the construction of the intelligence network.

Opening a canteen is actually quite simple: find a location, open for business, and the food—even if Ye Zhangqing isn't there, even if it's just the taste of dried rations—is enough to drive many cultivators crazy.

Currently, several already-open canteens, relying solely on dried rations, are already packed to capacity.

Even if the prices are outrageously high, there are still many cultivators willing to come and try.

However, compared to the canteen itself, the intelligence network behind it is much more troublesome.

Moreover, many matters must be handled personally; Bai Hua Xianzi and the other women must appear in person, as entrusting others is not reassuring.

After all, this intelligence network must always be kept under our own control.

Therefore, upon learning that Ye Zhangqing would depart for the Western Frontier tomorrow, Bai Hua Xianzi and the other women, although eager to go together, simply could not leave.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing smiled and offered a few words of comfort.

This time, going to the Western Frontier, not only will Huang Lao accompany us, but Zuo Fu will also rush over; safety need not be a worry.

As long as we obtain the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree and send it back to the sect, I will return.

After Ye Zhangqing's comforting words, the women also nodded sensibly in agreement.

Apart from being a bit naggy, constantly reminding Ye Zhangqing to stay safe and not to risk himself, there was nothing else.

After a night of intimacy, the next morning, once Huang Lao and the others were ready, Ye Zhangqing set off with Zuo Jue and Tao Qian.

Also accompanying them were the Heavenly Family's ancestor, Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family's Grand Elder, as well as Tianlin and Miao Qianqian.

The number of people was not large; the Heavenly Family's Grand Elder also joined temporarily.

The group passed through the Teleportation Array and left Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.

Having a Teleportation Array is very convenient, especially the one in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, which almost connects to all the major cities of the Immortal Realm.

Within the Western Frontier, there are a total of three immortal cities.

Although it is the region with the second-fewest immortal cities, only exceeding the Myriad Star Sea.

Yet the three major immortal cities within the Western Frontier each have their own distinct characteristics, and they differ greatly from the central regions of the Immortal Realm, as if they were not part of the same world.

The first stop for everyone was Miao Valley Immortal City within the Western Frontier.

This Miao Valley Immortal City is also mainly inhabited by the Western Frontier Witch Clan, and most cultivators likewise practice Xiūliàn witchcraft.

However, the cultivators of Miao Valley Immortal City mainly focus their Xiūliàn witchcraft on witch poison.

Each one is an expert in using poison, their methods are strange, not to mention, and once poisoned, it's basically hard to resolve.

However, this witch poison also has a huge weakness: its ability in direct combat is extremely poor, and it's ridiculously bad.

Under normal circumstances, a Western Frontier Witch cultivator, in direct combat, starts off equivalent to being weakened by one major realm.

That is, even an ordinary cultivator who kills a Western Frontier Witch cultivator by crossing one major realm is not considered too strange.

But if you let these Western Frontier Witch cultivators hide in the shadows, giving them the chance to strike opportunistically, then it's also normal for them to kill cultivators who are one major realm above themselves via poison.

In direct combat they are pitifully weak; lurking behind the scenes to harm others, they are terrifyingly strong. This is the witch cultivator of Miao Valley Immortal City.

Walking out of the Teleportation Array, the architecture of Miao Valley Immortal City is completely different from that of Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.

It is entirely in the style of the Western Frontier Witch Clan, the buildings show a bluish-black color, and the shape of the eaves and houses is also completely different.

Moreover, the houses in the Western Frontier are basically supported by several pillars, leaving an empty space underneath, not directly connected to the ground.

Many Immortal Realm cultivators also call this Western Frontier architecture 'hanging lofts'.
