Xiao Feng hurriedly handed it up. The middle-aged man swept a glance, threw it back again, and said coolly, "You all leave. The family head is very busy and isn't free to see you all."
Chapter 1916 - Have Your Family Head Come Find Me
"This … Lord Jiang Hua, can you accommodate a little? We really have important matters to discuss with Elder Jiang Yuan."
Xiao Feng did not expect that waiting bitterly for seven days and seven nights, what he got was such a sentence.
He did not feel that he lost face. It was just that being unable to help Ye Yuan made him very ashamed and guilty in his heart.
It was hard to enter a noble gate!
Originally thought that his master was, at any rate, a high-level Five-star Alchemy God too and could more or less have some face. Who knew that other people did not give you this face at all.
Xiao Feng felt bitter in his heart.
It was just that he did not want to give up just like this and still wanted to fight for it.
Who knew that Jiang Hua's expression turned dark and then said with a cold snort, "Important matter? Don't you, a low-level deacon, understand your identity? Everyone that comes over to find Family Head all says that they have important matters. If I let anyone in, how do I still work as a steward? Also, holding a Five-star Alchemy God's greeting card and you want to come and meet Family Head? In great imperial capitals, what do Five-star Alchemy Gods count for? Quickly get lost, don't block other people!"
Xiao Feng's fury rose up with a whoosh.
He was merely a nobody, but Jiang Hua's words insulted his master, which made him unable to accept it.
"You! Bullying people too far! You're merely a Celestial Deity yourself, so who do you think you are?" Xiao Feng said furiously.
Jiang Hua's gaze turned cold and did not even give any warning, raising his hand, it was a palm.
Xiao Feng was merely a Divine Lord Realm, this palm came over akin to toppling mountains and overturning the seas, how could he block it?
But right at this time, Jiang Hua only felt a blur before his eyes, and his attack was actually dissolved without a sound.
"So fast!" Jiang Hua's pupils constricted, secretly shocked in his heart.
He was Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity and actually did not see clearly how Ye Yuan made his move!
One had to know, Ye Yuan was merely a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity.
However, he did not care at all, because this place was the Jiang Manor.
"What, do you guys want to cause trouble in the Jiang Manor?" Jiang Hua said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "It was clearly you who attacked first, how did it become us who caused trouble? Not seeing then not seeing, there's also no need to insult people's master. I'll send my regards to your father right now, I wonder how you'd feel? You see, I haven't even extend my greetings, and your expression already changed. Therefore, you should be more understanding of others, don't let your eyes grow on top of your head."
A round of words was said until Jiang Hua's face alternated between green and white.
Ye Yuan was clearly scolding him, yet, it was like he did not scold, making Jiang Hua feel aggrieved.
Only to see his expression turn dark and he said in a cold voice, "Humph! Looks like you guys aren't placing my Jiang Manor in your eyes! Come, guards, take these few people down for me and teach them a good lesson."
Ye Yuan's two eyes narrowed, a powerful aura instantly erupted, locking Jiang Hua down firmly.
Jiang Hua's expression suddenly changed, like his throat was clutched by someone. Even breathing became anguishing.
He was incomparably shocked in his heart. Why would a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity give him such tremendous pressure?
Under the word of command, four to five Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses dashed in all at once. They were all the Jiang Manor's house guards.
Even though there were many True God powerhouses inside great imperial capitals, it was naturally impossible for them to become a house guard of a Jiang Manor.
"Steward Jiang! Are … Are you okay?"
When the guards saw Jiang Hua's complexion turn white, each and every one of their faces changed drastically.
This Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity young man in front of them actually gave them a feeling of being unable to overcome with force.
This kind of feeling was truly ludicrous!
Ye Yuan looked at Jiang Hua and said coolly, "You rely on your master's might to bully others here, but you said that we don't put the Jiang Manor in our eyes. Can you, a puny little steward, represent the Jiang Manor? Or is it that you took yourself to be the Jiang Manor's master? What a show of authority!"
When the guards heard that, their expressions when looking at Jiang Hua were full of peculiarness.
But Jiang Hua's expression changed, and he said stammeringly, "Y-You're slinging mud at people!"
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "You said the words yourself, the show of authority was displayed by you, and you said that I'm slinging mud? Does every person who comes to Jiang Manor have to see your attitude? We waited for seven days and night, handed over the greeting card, and felt that there was no problem in the area of etiquette when we touched our hearts and asked ourselves. But you only swept a glance at the greeting card and made us scram? A snobbish person like you probably chased away quite a few people indiscriminately, right? As a servant, you made enemies for your master everywhere. Did I malign you then?"
Those house guards all exchanged glances. They all knew that Steward Jiang Hua was indeed becoming more and more haughty.
When doing things now, he was somewhat arrogant.
Everyone's cultivation realm was clearly more or less the same, but he totally paid no attention to them, these guards.
Hence, what Ye Yuan said was not wrong.
Imperial cities were still alright, but of those who came to visit, there were quite a number of imperial capitals' powerhouses.
Just as Ye Yuan said, what if among these people, someone rose up. Then it was provoking huge trouble for his own master.
The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the gatehouse there. Quite a number of people had already surrounded them long ago.
Some people could not help secretly approving when they heard Ye Yuan's words.
Most of them had to look to Jiang Yuan for help. Hence, they could only humble themselves and wait in the gatehouse, waiting to be called in.
It was just that meeting or not was also entirely up to Jiang Hua's whims.
These few years, Jiang Hua extorted considerable profit from them.
As for those who came from imperial cities like Ye Yuan, Jiang Hua completely turned his nose up at them and naturally could not be bothered to reach his hand out towards them as well.
But Jiang Hua laughed coldly when he heard that and said, "Your meaning is that you'll be a remarkable important figure in the future, and existence that even our family head can't afford to provoke? Hahaha! I want to hear what important matters a bumpkin who came from a mere imperial city have to find Family Head!"
"No need! I'll make your family head come find me personally! Brother Xiao, let's go." Ye Yuan said coolly.
As he said, he withdrew his aura and brought Xiao Feng, and prepared to turn around and leave.
The pressure on Jiang Hua's body suddenly lightened, but he was already furious to the extreme in his heart.
Seeing Ye Yuan go out, Jiang Hua gave a furious roar: "Go invite the True God Realm retainer in the house, and take this punk down for me! I want to see how he becomes a big shot!"
Whoosh!
A ray of sword light directly tore apart the void, immediately rushing in from outside the house, and brushing past Jiang Hua's ear.
Jiang Hua only felt a wind blow past, the muscles in his body suddenly tensed up.
Crack!
A wooden beam behind Jiang Hua was directly split into
two.
Jiang Hua's pupils constricted, only knowing in hindsight that he had already had a brush with the god of death.
Drip! Drip!
Cold sweat flowed down the side of his head.
He stood there and did not dare to make the slightest movement for a long time, all the way until Ye Yuan's figure disappeared from the area of the Jiang Manor.
Those guards also looked at this scene in astonishment, incomparably shocked in their hearts.
They were all rejoicing, lucky they did not take action just now, otherwise, they would probably all be corpses now!
Law fusion! Spatial law!
This young man was incredible!
Suddenly, Jiang Hua's entire body trembled, finally recovering his senses.
"Is … he gone?" Jiang Hua asked the guards anxiously and doubtfully.
Chapter 1917 - Earth Qilin
"G-Gone, Steward Jiang," the guard said with lingering fear.
Only then did Jiang Hua come back to his senses, and heave a long sigh in relief.
Immediately after, he gave a cold snort again and said disdainfully, "Foolish thing! Family Head is the Springwind Hall's elder. Why would he go look for a trash like you?"
It was true that Ye Yuan was formidable, but formidable people in this L.u.s.trous Gold Great Imperial Capital were too many. How could Family Head Jiang Yuan possibly go and personally try to meet a Celestial Deity?
It was absolutely impossible for this sort of thing to happen.
Thinking about it, he turned around and went out of the wing-room. He went into a courtyard of the Jiang Manor. This place was the residence of Jiang Manor's retainers.
"Oh, isn't this Younger Brother Jiang Hua? What wind blew you over? Eh, why is your expression so ugly? There's actually still someone who dares to provoke Younger Brother in this Jiang Manor?"
When a middle-aged man in fitting attire saw Jiang Hua, he immediately greeted him with all smiles.
This retainer was called Qin Guan, a First Firmament True God powerhouse.
One should not look at how he was a True God Realm powerhouse. He was still very polite toward Jiang Hua.
They all, these foreign-surname retainers, the allocation of resources all had to go through Jiang Hua's hands. Jiang Hua's authority in the Jiang Family was tremendous.
Forging good relations with him naturally had no downside.
Jiang Hua's expression was very ugly as he said, "Elder Brother Qin Guan, this brother was threatened by someone today. I hope that Elder Brother can help me vent this frustration!"
Qin Guan said in surprise, "There's actually someone who dares to threaten Younger Brother? Is he tired of living? Tell me about it!"
Qin Guan was not a fool either, meddling in everything.
If it was a True God or an existence that he could not afford to provoke, he naturally did not dare to deal with it.
Even if persimmons, he got to pick the soft ones to knead.
Hearing Jiang Hua's words, his face fell. He then said in a cold voice, "What a conceited brat! He's used to being arrogant in the imperial city, right? This place is a great imperial capital, even True God powerhouses don't dare to be insolent. This punk is really tired of living! Younger Brother, you say, what to do about him?"
Hearing that it was a few Celestial Deity Realms, Qin Guan was immediately roused up.
This persimmon, he was going to knead it.
A hint of viciousness flashed across in Jiang Hua's eyes and he said, "Humph! This kid who's ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, forget it if he insulted me, but he turned his nose up at the Jiang Manor! He deserves to die! Brother Qin Guan, I'll grasp his whereabouts at all times these few days. You help me end him!"
Qin Guan patted his c.h.e.s.t and said, "Relax, leave it to me."
When Jiang Hua saw that he agreed, he smiled and said, "Brother Qin Guan rest assured, after the matter is done, Jiang Hua will definitely show generous thanks."
...
Parting on a sour note, Xiao Feng had an apologetic and guilty look on his face.
"Ye Yuan, sorry, Master's debt of gratitude toward this Xiao is akin to a mountain, I truly can't allow others to vilify him."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don't even have time to thank you yet, what are you saying sorry for? These stewards all have eyes growing on top of their heads. Even if a True God powerhouse came, they might turn their noses up at him too. Why bother with someone like him?"
"But, without Elder Jiang Yuan's connections, wouldn't our trip have been in vain?" Xiao Feng said awkwardly.
"Heaven doesn't seal off all paths, there will always be a way," Ye Yuan said.
"Your Excellency, then what should we do now?" Ning Tianping asked.
Ye Yuan said, "Since the road here is blocked, let's go buy some spirit medicines first. When Tong'er's strength recovers to the True God Realm, our safety will also be more secure."
In this great imperial capital where True Gods walked everywhere, Ye Yuan's current strength was still a little weak.
With a True God powerhouse by his side, it would naturally be much safer.
Ye Yuan was also prepared against Jiang Hua, but he did not expect that he really guessed it correctly; Jiang Hua did not plan to let them off.
The party left the Jiang Manor and headed straight for the Hundred Herb Gathering.
The Hundred Herb Gathering was a large-scale spirit medicine trading market, covering a very vast area. It was established by the Myriad Treasure Tower.
But those selling spirit medicines here were far from just the Myriad Treasure Tower alone.
This place gathered more than a dozen major forces, large businesses, and even many retail brokers, mutually helping to make up for what the others lack, forming a super massive spirit medicine market. The daily throughput capacity was very astonishing.
Of course, the Myriad Treasure Tower also earned boatloads in this area.
The spirit medicines that Tonger's Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill required were too rare. They could only be gathered in a place like the Hundred Herb Gathering.
If even this place was unable to gather them, then there was only getting super lucky in the future, or wait for him to recover his strength after a thousand years.
A beautiful female attendant asked Ye Yuan with a radiant smile, "Sir, may I ask what spirit medicines you need?"
The Hundred Herb Gathering had an inquiry area, martial artists could search for the spirit medicines that they need here.
The Hundred Herb Gathering had a dazzling array of spirit medicines, all levels of spirit medicines, with a great variety, and in an extremely huge number.
If martial artists went to find one by one, who knew how much time they would have to waste.
For this, the Hundred Herb Gathering built a large-scale array formation and categorized all of the spirit medicines into different classes into the array formation.
When it entered the warehouse, when was it sold, there were clear records.
This way, it was easy to manage and also convenient for martial artists to check.
Ye Yuan said, "Help me check for Ironwood Ash, Blackheart Seaweed, Earth Qilin …"
Ye Yuan listed a large bunch of spirit medicines in one go. That beautiful attendant's dainty fingers moved slightly, entering one spell after another into the array formation in front of her.
Very soon, the results were out.
"Sir, our Myriad Treasure Tower and Myriad Realms Chamber of Commerce both have Ironwood Ash. Deerchase Merchanting Association has two portions of Blackheart Seaweed, …" The beautiful attendant spoke with confidence and composure, reporting the results of the inquiry.
Ye Yuan frowned when he heard it and said, "What about the Earth Qilin?"
The beautiful attendant answered with a smile, "It was still in stock just now, but it might be gone now. Before Sir came, Master Chen Chang had just inquired about this Earth Qilin and has already gone over now. Currently, in the Hundred Herb Ga
thering, there's just one portion of Earth Qilin."
Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Since it hasn't been sold yet, then I should still be able to go and enquire, right? Tell me the stall, this shouldn't violate the rules, right?"
The attendant smiled and said, "It naturally doesn't violate, sir can go take a look. But, Master Chen Chang is a famous Six-star Alchemy God in the city, you …"
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Tell me."
The attendant was helpless and could only tell Ye Yuan the stall.
This Earth Qilin was a type of spirit medicine. It got its name because it looked remarkably like the legendary divine beast, Qilin. It was extremely seldom-seen.
Such a large Hundred Herb Gathering only had this one portion, the rarity could be seen.
But this Earth Qilin was a core ingredient to refine the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill.
Once he let it slip by this time, no idea when he would be able to find it again. Ye Yuan naturally would not be willing to give up.
According to that attendant's instructions, Ye Yuan found that stall very soon. But he saw that an old man was currently flushed to the ears, appearing very indignant.
That Earth Qilin was currently quietly placed in a jade container.
This old man was likely Master Chen Chang that that attendant spoke of.
Seeing that the Earth Qilin was not sold, Ye Yuan also let out a long sigh in relief.
Looks like these two people did not reach an agreement in the transaction of the Earth Qilin.
"You this fellow, how can you be so obstinate? My Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill already reached peak heaven-grade; infinitely close to divine-grade! I already said I'll use other things to compensate you, why aren't you willing to relent?" Chen Chang said angrily to the stall owner.
Chapter 1918 - Vying With the Master for Spirit Medicine
The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing a felt cap, looking somewhat weathered-beaten.
Seeing Master Chen Chang flying off the handle, he said with an indifferent look, "I already said, this Earth Qilin can only be exchanged for a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill. Lower than divine-grade, not exchanging altogether!"
