Chapter 341: Yaochi Is Going to Deliver Goods

~7 min read 1,313 words

Mei Yan Dan Dan de Sao Xiang Bai Hua Xian Zi: "Bai Hua, did you receive any divine abilities from Chen the Shopkeeper?"

Bai Hua Xian Zi lowered her head and answered honestly: "Yes."

"What divine ability? What effect does it have?"

A trace of interest flashed in Yaochi's eyes.

"Replying to Sanniang, my divine ability is called 'Flower Opens with a Thought'."

Bai Hua recounted her divine ability in full detail, and having just been frightened, she dared not conceal anything further.

"It actually involves the Time Law? Yaochi, upon hearing this, was somewhat startled; I never expected Bai Hua to awaken such a divine ability."

"Show it to the Palace."

Yaochi glanced over and, with her bare hand, pointed to a flowerbed nearby.

Bai Hua Xian Zi respectfully nodded: "Yes."

She then proceeded to activate her divine ability upon the flowerbed.

Flower Opens with a Thought!

As a strange energy attached itself from afar to all the flowers in the flowerbed, the flowers that were originally just buds began to slowly bloom, until finally, they were in full bloom!

Yaochi stood up, quickly walked forward, and examined the flowers in the flowerbed.

Gazing at each blossom's radiance, a trace of surprise flashed in Yaochi's eyes.

With her discernment, she could naturally tell these flowers were not artificially induced to bloom, but were genuinely blooming under the influence of the Time Law.

These flowers bloomed due to the influence of the Law's power, for there was no increase in vitality on the flower stems.

Yaochi cultivates Pantao trees, and her attainments in the botanical aspect are also not low.

She knows the variety of these flowers; normally, they would need to wait nearly another month to bloom successively, but now, the flowers seem to have skipped a month of time and bloomed directly, revealing their most beautiful form.

Bai Hua Xian Zi tentatively asked: "Sanniang, do you need them restored?"

"No need."

Yaochi parted her vermilion lips gently, her voice soft: "Just let them stay like this; they look very nice and are quite interesting."

Looking at Bai Hua Xian Zi, Yaochi smiled slightly, her face showing a hint of affirmation: "Your divine ability is not bad; it involves the Law—practice well to master it, and while doing so, also strive to improve your cultivation."

Although currently limited to making flowers bloom, wasn't it also said that once fully mastered, it could be applied in other aspects?

With such a powerful method, if one's cultivation does not improve, it would truly be a waste of heavenly resources.

"Yes!

The servant will certainly redouble her efforts in cultivation."

Bai Hua Xian Zi immediately responded.

Yaochi waved her hand, her tone languid: "Put cultivation aside for now; we'll talk about it again after tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, I will accompany the Palace to Chaos Residence to sample the new dishes."

"Understood, Sanniang."

"By the way."

Sitting back down, Yaochi opened her mouth again: "Bai Hua, what is your meal price?"

"Replying to Sanniang, it is Bai Hua Lu."

"Bai Hua Lu?"

Yaochi pondered lightly for a moment: "You should have plenty of it, right?"

Although she occasionally uses it, the amount is not particularly large.

"Mm."

Bai Hua Xian Zi nodded: "I still have over ten bottles of it."

Since taking office in the Heavenly Court, she has been accumulating Bai Hua Lu, bit by bit, and now she still has quite a surplus.

"Enough."

Yaochi nodded.

"Tomorrow, when dining with the Palace, bring more; the new dishes from Chen the Shopkeeper are not cheap."

If we bring too little and cannot afford it, the loss will be face for me, Yaochi.

"Yes."

Bai Hua Xian Zi quickly agreed, but soon after, she still could not help but ask: "Sanniang, you said the new dishes are expensive—just how expensive are they?"

"Ten times the normal meal price for one dish."

Yaochi said lightly.

"No, that's not right."

Yaochi shook her head: "Tomorrow there is a discount; nine times the price will buy it."

"Nine times."

Bai Hua Xian Zi exclaimed in surprise: "This is too expensive, isn't it? What kind of new dish could be this costly?"

Wouldn't it be better to spend this money on other dishes? Besides, it's still enough to eat.

"The Palace believes that Chen the Shopkeeper's dishes are expensive for good reason, and spending this money will absolutely not result in a loss."

Yaochi softly voiced her opinion.

She feels Chen the Shopkeeper is not a person blinded by profit, and this profit is of no use to him; people willing to buy are already a blessing from heaven.

Like this, Bai Hua Xian Zi nodded; indeed, even the price of one meal has already awakened her divine ability—what miraculous effects would a dish priced at ten meals have? "Bai Hua"

"The servant is present."

"Accompanying the Palace to the Tian Ting Bao Ku, the Palace previously promised Chen the Shopkeeper to provide a source of Pantao and Peach Blossom Petals,

Taking this opportunity, let's send them over."

Yaochi slowly stood up and then went forward.

Peach? Goods source? Bai Hua Xian Zi blinked, her face full of surprise.

"Could it be that all the peaches in Chaos Residence are provided by you, Sanniang?"

She had drunk peach soda several times; as a close attendant of Sanniang, she naturally had tasted the flavor of peaches and understood their efficacy.

Although it was only the lowest-grade 3000-year peach, it still allowed her to discern what was in the peach soda.

"No"

Yaochi denied it, her face showing a hint of helplessness: "The backyard of Manager Chen is full of peaches."

Still nine-thousand-year... Manager Chen merely couldn't meet demand, so he sought her cooperation.

"All peaches"

Bai Hua Xian Zi was startled, unable to help but say: "Sanniang, didn't you say before that only you cultivated peaches in the entire Three Realms? Why does Manager Chen also have them?"

"Who knows?"

Yaochi shrugged: "The Three Realms are vast with countless talented people—it is understandable that this could also be the case."

"Sanniang..."

Ningning looked toward Yaochi, Bai Hua whispered softly.

Have peaches always been Sanniang's taboo? In the Three Realms, who doesn't know that cultivating peaches means opposing the Heavenly Court? Throughout these long ages, no one has tried to cultivate them, which is why there has been no second source of peaches until now.

One reason is that peaches require a specific cultivation method; ordinary people, even with high cultivation, cannot grow them.

Second, those who privately cultivated peaches all died; as to how they died, the entire Three Realms know it well.

It can be considered a tiger's whisker of the Heavenly Court—untouchable.

But why, after Sanniang learned that Manager Chen cultivated peaches, is her attitude like this? Not only is she not angry, but she also wants to supply peaches?!

Bai Hua Xian Zi was greatly puzzled; Sanniang had never responded this way to such matters before!

"Sanniang, Manager Chen cultivates peaches—aren't you angry?"

Bai Hua Xian Zi asked probing.

"Not angry"

Yaochi was very calm, without any pretense; it seemed she had never felt such emotion from beginning to end, only suffering repeated blows.

The peaches casually planted by Manager Chen turned out to be better than those she painstakingly nurtured—this made her, who took pride in cultivating peaches, unable to bear it. High cultivation, skilled cooking, vast divine powers, growing trees well—even her disciple Sun Wukong was taught to be so outstanding, a truly great talent!

Heavenly Court Treasury.

Bai Hua Xian Zi followed Yaochi as they arrived at the Heavenly Court Treasury guard; seeing Yaochi, the guard dared not block them, hastily bowed, and stepped aside.

The treasury is layered; the deeper inside, the fewer treasures, and the guards are correspondingly stricter.

Finally, Yaochi stopped before a magnificent gate on the right side.

"Arrived"

Yaochi spoke softly.
