Chapter 880: Guanghan Palace

Changxi is very beautiful, but her temperament is truly cold.

Yin Qi arrived before Guanghan Palace, cupped his hands in a bow, and said, "This junior, Yin Huang, pays his respects to the Star Lord."

Yin Huang, Yin Huang—the Emperor of the Yin Shang.

But clearly, Changxi did not think in that direction at all.

There are countless living beings in Honghuang, and they go by all sorts of names; it is impossible to deduce one's identity from a name alone.

"This junior!"

Changxi was somewhat surprised.

Originally, she had assumed Yin Qi was a peer from the days of Zixiao Palace.

"Why have you come?"

Although she is lonely and accustomed to being on her own.

She is not the type of demonic head who ignores right from wrong and kills at the slightest provocation.

The other party is merely a Peak Great Luo; she assumes he would not dare harbor any malicious intent.

Yin Qi said directly, "This junior has come to request a small branch of the Laurel Tree from the Star Lord. Of course, I do not ask for it for free; I am willing to exchange it for other treasures, and I hope the Star Lord will grant this."

Changxi shook her head, her voice cold and clear as she said, "I am not lacking in treasures."

The Laurel Tree is one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, and even the Sages keep it in their hearts; if every person who came to ask for a branch or osmanthus flowers were granted one, wouldn't the Laurel Tree be plucked bald?

Yin Qi hurriedly took out an Immortal Jade box and said, "Star Lord, inside this are one thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves. They are also an Innate Spiritual Root; although they are only of medium grade, they are quite excellent for brewing tea and have the effect of helping one attain enlightenment."

Changxi said with some surprise, "Enlightenment Tea Leaves—they only existed in legends before; I did not expect you to have obtained them. However, I am accustomed to drinking osmanthus tea, so I will pass on the Enlightenment Tea."

Yin Qi was helpless and had to take out another Immortal Jade box: "I will add one hundred Flat Peaches that ripen every three thousand years."

Changxi glanced at Yin Qi and continued to shake her head, saying, "These peaches are only good for quenching thirst."

Yin Qi had to raise the stakes: "I will add one Seven-Turn Golden Pill."

Although he still had Fusang Tree Sangzhen, the Fusang Tree was at the core of the sun; if he took them out, wouldn't it imply he had been to the sun's core and very likely obtained the Eastern Emperor Bell?

In the future, when he brings out Sangzhen, aside from Princess Longji, everyone else will only be able to consume Immortal Pills refined from them.

As for the Bodhi Tree and the twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus, they certainly could not be brought out either.

Changxi still shook her head: "What use do I have for this?"

A Seven-Turn Golden Pill would certainly interest other Quasi-Saints.

But on this Lunar Star, apart from her, there is only a Jade Rabbit and no other living beings.

And the Jade Rabbit has long since cultivated into a Golden Immortal.

This Seven-Turn Golden Pill has absolutely no value to her; she would find it not sweet enough even to eat as a candy bean.

Yin Qi was disappointed.

This Lunar Star Lord is truly too difficult to deal with.

However, since the other party was unwilling, he could only put away the Enlightenment Tea Leaves, Flat Peaches, and the Seven-Turn Golden Pill, cupped his hands in a bow, and said, "Then I have disturbed you, Star Lord; this junior will take his leave."

"Wait."

Changxi suddenly called out to stop Yin Qi, who was about to leave.

Yin Qi asked in confusion, "Does the Star Lord have any further instructions?"

Changxi said, "I see you really want a Laurel Tree branch. How about this: I will give you a chance. As long as you can handle one matter for me, I will break off a branch of the Laurel Tree for you."

Yin Qi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Please speak, Star Lord."

"Follow me inside."

As Changxi spoke, she turned and walked into Guanghan Palace.

Yin Qi hurriedly followed.

"Master!"

Just as they walked into Guanghan Palace, they saw a cute young girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old bouncing over to greet them.

She stared with her large, slightly blood-red eyes, curiously sizing up Yin Qi. Guanghan Palace had not had a guest in tens of thousands of years.

"Mm."

Changxi only nodded faintly, her footsteps not stopping; clearly, she had no intention of introducing Yin Qi.

If Yin Qi could not help her, he would be a stranger from here on out.

There was no need for an introduction.

Yin Qi, meanwhile, smiled and nodded at the girl.

If he guessed correctly, this must be the Jade Rabbit.

The Jade Rabbit returned a brilliant smile and walked side-by-side with Yin Qi, saying, "My name is Jade Rabbit. What is your name, and what are you doing in our Guanghan Palace?"

Yin Qi said, "My name is Yin Huang, and I have come to Guanghan Palace to request a small branch of the Laurel Tree."

The Jade Rabbit shook her head and said, "My master never gives people Laurel, let alone Laurel Tree branches. I think you've come for nothing this time. Wait, that's not right—shouldn't you be leaving? Why did you come inside with Master?"

Please... you.... bookmark_(!)

Changxi continued walking in front, seemingly not having heard the Jade Rabbit's words.

They had been together for millions of years; although they were master and servant in name, they were effectively like sisters, and they spoke very casually.

If it weren't for the lively Jade Rabbit, one might not hear a single word in Guanghan Palace for thousands of years.

Yin Qi replied, "The Star Lord initially refused, but seeing my sincerity, she decided to give me a chance. As long as I handle one matter for the Star Lord, she will break off a branch of the Laurel Tree for me."

"Handle one matter?"

The Jade Rabbit was puzzled.

If even my master cannot handle it, can you?

Also, what kind of matter could the master have that requires asking someone for help?

Suddenly, the Jade Rabbit's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Master, you wouldn't be thinking of having him revive those immortal flowers in our back garden, would you? How could he possibly do that?"

Changxi did not turn her head and said indifferently, "If he cannot do it, he shall leave."

Yin Qi nodded, lost in thought.

The Jade Rabbit nodded and said, "That's true. By the way, Yin Emperor, I haven't been to the Primordial Continent for over ten thousand years. I wonder how it is now? Have there been any major events or fun things happening?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "If you want to talk about major events, it is, of course, the Fengshen Jie. Currently, the Chan Sect, the Ren Sect, and Buddhism have formed an alliance and are in an all-out war with the Jie Sect, fighting intensely."

"Right now, the Tongtian Saint has set up the Immortal Execution Sword Array at Jiepai Pass in the Human Ancestral Land."

"He is joining forces with the Nuwa Saint to face Laozi and the other three Saints."

Changxi clearly knew about this matter and did not stop her pace.

She is a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, so it is very difficult for major events happening in the Primordial Continent to be hidden from her.

The Jade Rabbit was shocked and exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean a chaotic battle of six Saints? Won't that cause the Heaven to collapse and the Earth to shatter, and the Primordial Continent to be destroyed? No wonder, no wonder I heard roars coming from the Primordial Continent earlier. By the way, what kind of sect is Buddhism?"

"Buddhism is the former Western Sect; they changed their name a while ago."

"The six Saints are still in a fierce battle, and the outcome has not yet been decided. I don't know how it will end."

"One can only hope they can restrain themselves and not shatter the Primordial Continent."

Yin Qi looked helpless and continued, "As for fun things, a type of Dharma Treasure called a Mobile Phone is currently popular in the Primordial Continent. Through a Mobile Phone, even mortals separated by the two ends of the Primordial Continent can contact each other in real-time. Moreover, one can watch movies and TV shows, watch live streams, shop online, and so on."

"Letting mortals contact each other in real-time across the two ends of the Primordial Continent? That's impossible. Also, what are movies and TV shows, live streams, and online shopping? Do you have a Mobile Phone? Let me see."

"Here, take it. This is one I haven't used. Currently, you can only watch cached content, and the communication function cannot be used because there is no Heavenly Dao Network here. It is said that the Heavenly Dao Network currently only covers the Primordial Continent and the Four Seas."

Yin Qi handed the Jade Rabbit a new Mobile Phone and taught her how to use it.

He suddenly noticed that although Changxi did not turn her head, her pace had slowed down slightly; she seemed to be listening as well.

Clearly, she was also curious about the Mobile Phone.

Yin Qi chuckled inwardly and patiently taught the Jade Rabbit how to use the Mobile Phone, explaining the functions of each app, hearing the Jade Rabbit exclaim repeatedly with eyes full of longing.

Especially the Primordial Mall, where the various delicacies and clothing made her eyes shine.

It was just a pity that there was no network here.

Unknowingly, the three of them finally passed through layers of courtyards and arrived at the back garden. (End of this chapter)
