Yaochi Stone Workshop.
A pretty maid was reporting the situation to the Yaochi Saintess.
"Holy Maiden, Chen Yu and the Yaoguang Saintess have left the restaurant, and Chen Yu seems to be heading towards our Yaochi Stone Workshop."
The Yaochi Saintess was shrouded in a halo, obscuring her expression. After listening to the maid's report, she remained silent and waved for the maid to leave.
This scene didn't only happen at Yaochi Stone Workshop; other major forces also had reports from their subordinates. After all, Chen Yu and the Yaoguang Saintess made no attempt to conceal themselves, completely exposing themselves to everyone.
Of course, they had heard about the Yao Guang Sacred Land's plan to use the Holy Maiden for a marriage alliance, and they could guess that this was the Yaoguang Saintess's counterattack. They just didn't know how the old guys from the Yao Guang Sacred Land would respond.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the Yao Guang Sacred Land Yao Guang Sacred Land, anticipating their reaction and wondering if they would punish the Yaoguang Saintess or even strip her of her title.
When Chen Yu arrived at the Yaochi Stone Workshop, the guards respectfully ushered him in. The Queen Mother of the West had given the order that Chen Yu should be treated as a distinguished guest upon his arrival at the Yaochi Stone Workshop.
Upon entering the Yaochi Stone Workshop, Chen Yu couldn't resist activating his Source Heaven Divine Eye and starting to select stones. Since he was already there, how could he not pick out a few stones?
Chen Yu strolled through the Stone Garden. This batch of stones seemed to have been selected quite accurately; none of the stones left here had increased in value significantly. Could it be that Yaochi had nurtured a powerful Source Master?
Since there were no more stones available, Chen Yu decided not to waste any more time. After closing his Source Heaven Divine Eye, he summoned a maid and told her that he wanted to see the elder guarding the stone workshop.
After the maid left, Chen Yu found a pavilion to sit down and wait.
After a while, the Yaochi Saintess gracefully approached and said, "Brother Chen, the garrison elder is receiving other guests. You can also tell me if there's anything you need."
The Yaochi Saintess was shrouded in a halo, obscuring her features. Although she was right in front of them, they felt as if they were from a different world, separated by an immense distance.
Moreover, even the sounds became ethereal, giving the impression that they were coming from a distant place.
Are you trying to guard against Source Heaven Master, or are you specifically guarding against me? We've met before, haven't we? Where's the basic trust between people? Chen Yu thought to himself.
Besides, it won't hurt to take a look, there's no need to be so strict!
"I wonder if the Son of the Undying Emperor's egg is still there?" Chen Yu didn't waste any words and asked directly through telepathy. The Human Race wasn't a monolithic entity, and he didn't want even a whisper of it to leak out.
The Yaochi Saintess clearly knew the matter was of great importance, and said, "Brother Chen, please come with me. I hope you will not look around carelessly."
The Yaochi Saintess spoke again, her voice ethereal and clear, like jade striking each other, gentle yet magnetic, without the previous Void quality.
"That's right. I'm here to help your Yaochi Sacred Land. It's not good to always be on guard against me." Chen Yu said, looking at the Yaochi Saintess's back.
The Yaochi Saintess snorted lightly and said, "You're doing this for yourself; don't try to portray yourself as so noble."
Chen Yu was displeased upon hearing this. "Helping you take away the Son of the Undying Emperor and preserve the reputation of the Yaochi Sacred Land, isn't that helping the Yaochi Sacred Land?"
"Since that's the case, then I'll leave. As for that egg, you Yaochi Sacred Land can deal with it yourselves!"
After Chen Yu finished speaking, he turned and walked out. The Yaochi Saintess was acting strangely today, so it was best to leave first.
"Wait a moment."
"I was wrong today, and I will offer an apology later. Please come with me, Brother Chen."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu did not continue to leave. If he could really take the Son of the Undying Emperor away, it wouldn't matter if he was teased by the Yaochi Saintess.
They then followed the Yaochi Saintess onto a teleportation array, and when they reappeared, they were already in the Yaochi Fairyland.
When he and the Yaochi Saintess arrived in front of a Five-Colored Stone King the size of a millstone, they were surprised to find that the Queen Mother of the West was also there.
"Welcome back to the Yaochi Sacred Land, young friend."
Aside from revealing his true cultivation level to Wei Yi, Chen Yu only displayed the first level of the Immortal Platform realm at other times, so the Queen Mother of the West did not realize that he was already a powerful being.
"Senior, I'm just here to take away the Stone King containing the Son of the Undying Emperor. You didn't need to come in person, did you?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.
"Young friend, you may not know this, but this Stone King has been unusually active lately, attempting to break free and leave several times. I have now suppressed it with the Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda. To prevent any accidents, I need to come and check on the situation from time to time."
Chen Yu nodded upon hearing this and said, "In that case, may I take him away?"
He then took out the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar, intending to take away the Five-Colored Stone King.
"Wait!" The Queen Mother of the West raised her hand to stop Chen Yu from taking the Five-Colored Stone King, saying, "Young friend, this Stone King has been nurtured by our Yaochi Sacred Land for a long time. If you want to take it away, you need to agree to one condition: if Yaochi is in trouble in the future, you will need to lend a helping hand once."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu curled his lip, knowing it wouldn't be that easy.
But a mere Son of the Undying Emperor wasn't enough for him to lend a hand, so he shook his head and said:
"I can agree to help you once, but one Son of the Undying Emperor isn't enough. I want a piece of root from the Ancient Flat Peach Tree to see if it can be planted."
Seeing the Queen Mother of the West frown, Chen Yu continued, "It's just a root; it won't cause much damage to the Ancient Flat Peach Tree. With the resources of the Yaochi Sacred Land, it should be able to recover quickly."
Just as the Queen Mother of the West was considering, the Son of the Undying Emperor seemed to sense something was wrong. The Five-Colored Stone King began to tremble violently, and mysterious marks appeared on its surface, as if it wanted to break through the suppression of the Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda and escape from here.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain. He was now just a piece of stone and could not break through the suppression of the Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda.
Seeing the Five-Colored Stone King struggling violently, the Queen Mother of the West gritted her teeth and agreed to Chen Yu's conditions. It was just a root; she would give it to Chen Yu if he wanted it, in exchange for a future opportunity to help her and to get rid of this big trouble in front of her.
No, including taking away the Five-Colored Stone King this time, Chen Yu has helped their Yaochi Sacred Land twice.
Although Chen Yu had his own calculations in taking away the Five-Colored Stone King, he undeniably helped their Yaochi Sacred Land.
After receiving the Queen Mother of the West's reply, Chen Yu summoned the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar, while the Queen Mother of the West carefully controlled the Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda to prevent the two Emperor Weapon from colliding and causing damage to the Yaochi Fairyland.
With the joint efforts of Chen Yu and the Queen Mother of the West, the constantly trembling Five-Colored Stone King successfully entered the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar and was suppressed at the very innermost part.
Chen Yu then put away the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar, looked at the Queen Mother of the West, and his meaning was self-evident: quickly take out what he had promised.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West immediately activated the Western Emperor Pagoda, took a section of root from the Ancient Flat Peach Tree, threw it to Chen Yu, and then disappeared in a flash.
She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she would be tempted to take the roots back.
