Chapter 166: Mystic Hand Pill Lord Qiao Shaoshan
“That guy who cares more about beauty than friends goes off to meet a girl, leaving me behind,” Black Wind said angrily.
“Little Black, big brother doesn’t want you, so you can follow me from now on,” Little Yao quickly hugged Black Wind, her little hand rubbing his head playfully.
“Meow, you naughty girl, you messed up Cat Lord’s hairstyle!” Black Wind hurriedly broke free from Little Yao’s embrace, shook his fur, and said unhappily, “You siblings are no good!”
Ruoshui Garden!
The green mountains and clear waters, the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers; in the large garden, there is a clear lake, and by the lakeside is a quiet little house, with a grove of purple bamboo in front.
The scenery here is so beautiful, it’s like a paradise, far from conflict; living here makes one feel refreshed and at peace.
Yun Yi walked behind Xiao Ruoshui along the path in the purple bamboo grove, stepping on fallen bamboo leaves, breathing in the rich Spirit Qi of this place, which was truly a delight.
“Is the environment here alright?” Xiao Ruoshui spoke up.
“A paradise on earth,” Yun Yi sincerely admired her; he didn’t dare to get too close to Xiao Ruoshui. Like all the disciples of the Yanwu family, he felt he couldn’t harbor any disrespect towards this incredible goddess.
Xiao Ruoshui suddenly turned her head and smiled sweetly at Yun Yi, “You are the first disciple to come to Ruoshui Garden.”
That smile charmed everyone, and combined with the lovely fragrance surrounding Xiao Ruoshui, even someone like Yun Yi couldn’t help but feel a stirring in his heart.
Facing such a stunning beauty, no man could remain unaffected.
Yun Yi was decisive in battle; he never flinched at the General Selecting Platform, he never hesitated at Grand Dragon Cliff, he never backed down against the royal family, and he showed no fear when facing Pan Hong. But now, alone with Xiao Ruoshui, he couldn’t help but feel nervous and uncomfortable.
“Then I am truly honored,” Yun Yi said, not daring to look into Xiao Ruoshui’s eyes. A woman like Xiao Ruoshui was so proud; being the first disciple to step into Ruoshui Garden was indeed a blessing.
Yun Yi knew that once word got out about him coming to Ruoshui Garden, many disciples would be envious.
“Alright, I didn’t bring you to Ruoshui Garden just to enjoy the scenery. You have completed the task for Jade Wheel City, and as I mentioned before, I will reward you with a chance to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion. I will take you there soon, but there is also another matter.”
Xiao Ruoshui said, “In seven days, it is the birthday of Qiao Shaoshan, the master of Peace Villa, and also the annual Peace Conference. I need to represent the Yanwu family to celebrate his birthday, and you will accompany me.”
“Peace Villa, Qiao Shaoshan?” Yun Yi was taken aback; it was the first time he had heard of both Peace Villa and Qiao Shaoshan.
“I forgot that you are not from Xuanzhou State, so it’s not surprising that you don’t know about Mystic Hand Pill Lord Qiao Shaoshan. Peace Villa is located at the border of Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State. Master Qiao Shaoshan is an extremely skilled Medicine Pill Master, known as the Mystic Hand Pill Lord. He is very powerful, having reached the One Line Sky level, and is of the same caliber as my father. For a long time, the major forces in Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State have wanted to win over Qiao Shaoshan, but he does not pledge allegiance to any major force and has established Peace Villa to create a place of peace between Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State.”
Xiao Ruoshui spoke with great respect when mentioning this Mystic Hand Pill Lord.
“Every year on Qiao Shaoshan’s birthday, a Peace Conference is held at Peace Villa. This grand event is a large trading fair where many Spirit Cultivators from Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State gather. You should know that Peace Villa is rich in resources and has many Medicine Pill Masters. The Peace Conference connects countless extraordinary people and rare treasures from both states, and many magical medicines are presented. There are also large auctions hosted by Peace Villa, making it a grand event each year.”
Xiao Ruoshui paused for a moment before continuing, “For the major forces in Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State, even if they can’t win over Qiao Shaoshan, they don’t want to be his enemy. So when it is his birthday, all the major forces will come to congratulate him. If they can build a friendship with Qiao Shaoshan, it would be extremely beneficial since he values talented individuals, especially those skilled in Alchemical Technique. Your Alchemical Technique is exceptional; you can create perfect Wash Marrow Pills. So, this time I am taking you with me to celebrate Qiao Shaoshan’s birthday. Of course, it’s best to gain his friendship. Even if we can’t, we can treat it as a journey. The annual Peace Conference is unprecedented, and it would be a pity to miss it. Many talented individuals from the forces of Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State will also be present. Since you have just arrived in Xuanzhou State, it would be a good experience to see such a grand occasion.”
Yun Yi listened carefully to every word Xiao Ruoshui said, and his eyes couldn’t help but shine with bright light.
He must go to Peace Villa this time.
Just as Xiao Ruoshui said, such a grand event cannot be missed.
More importantly, Yun Yi had his own purpose for going; he didn’t care about getting close to Qiao Shaoshan, nor was he the type to flatter people.
It is important to know that Yun Yi came to Xuanzhou State with the main goal of finding Ice Heart Saliva and some rare treasures to help restore his source. The Peace Conference is the biggest event between Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State, where many rare treasures will appear, along with a much-anticipated auction.
Yun Yi knew that if he couldn’t find Ice Heart Saliva, Peace Villa would be the most important place; it is a prime location gathering both Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State. If he can’t find what he needs, then there would be even less hope for Xuanzhou State.
Therefore, no matter what, Yun Yi must go. Now that he knew about the existence of Peace Villa, even if Xiao Ruoshui did not invite him, he would still go alone.
“Thank you, Miss. Yun Yi will do his best.”
Yun Yi said earnestly; he knew that Xiao Ruoshui specifically brought him along, and although it was to help the family get close to Qiao Shaoshan, it also showed that she valued him. He understood this well.
“Yes, I will take you to the Martial Arts Pavilion now. You can stay there for three days, and after three days, we will leave.”
After Xiao Ruoshui spoke, she once again took Yun Yi into the air, heading towards the Martial Arts Pavilion.
Xiao Ruoshui could have talked about the Peace Villa at any time and taken Yun Yi directly to the Martial Arts Pavilion. However, she insisted on bringing Yun Yi to Ruoshui Garden first, making him the first man to step into Ruoshui Garden. Even Xiao Ruoshui couldn’t explain why she felt this was necessary.
