Azure Emperor True Lord's Request
"Fellow Daoist Han, may I ask if you could do me a favor?" the Azure Emperor True Lord suddenly asked.
Upon hearing the words of the Azure Emperor True Lord, Han Xiangzi paused slightly, then said, "Azure Emperor True Lord, please speak."
"I would like you to help me cultivate a Nine-Leaf Lingzhi within the Han residence. I happen to have many Ginseng Fruits that need to be cultivated; do you have any?"
"Cultivate a Nine-Leaf Lingzhi?" Upon hearing the words of the Azure Emperor True Lord, Han Xiangzi was stunned. He cursed inwardly, thinking that the Azure Emperor True Lord was truly greedy. The Nine-Leaf Lingzhi was a High Antiquity flower, and each year's Nine-Leaf Lingzhi was at least 100,000 years old, making it extremely rare. Even in the Immortal Realm, there were not many. This guy actually wanted to cultivate one. He was truly overestimating himself.
Han Xiangzi cursed inwardly, but replied with a smile, "Reporting to True Lord, this disciple does indeed possess a Nine-Leaf Lingzhi, but I am not skilled in its cultivation. This Nine-Leaf Lingzhi will require the cultivation of the Han family's ancestor."
"That's no problem," said the Azure Emperor True Lord. "As long as the cultivation goes smoothly, I will never forget Fellow Daoist Han, and will certainly reward him handsomely in the future."
"This disciple will certainly do his utmost."
The Azure Emperor True Lord led Han Xiangzi and Su Daji into a secluded courtyard.
"Su Daji, you should focus on your cultivation first. When you reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage, I will naturally send you some pills and Spirit Stone."
"This disciple understands. This disciple takes his leave."
"Fellow Daoist Han, then we shall take our leave. Cultivate diligently and do not disappoint my kindness."
"Yes, disciple understands. Disciple takes his leave."
After Han Xiangzi finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door, but stopped abruptly after taking only two steps.
"Fellow Daoist Han, what's wrong?" Azure Emperor True Lord asked, puzzled, when he saw Han Xiangzi stop.
"It's nothing, I just thought of something."
"Fellow Daoist Han, please speak."
"Well," Han Xiangzi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Azure Emperor True Lord, I would like to ask you something. Please forgive me."
"Fellow Daoist Han, please ask away. As long as I know the answer, I will tell you everything without reservation. If I conceal anything, I am willing to be struck by lightning!" Azure Emperor True Lord solemnly swore.
"Thank you, Azure Emperor True Lord."
Han Xiangzi was overjoyed to see the Azure Emperor True Lord make an oath, and immediately asked respectfully, "Azure Emperor True Lord, this disciple would like to know why you have never had a woman? Is it because your cultivation Cultivation Method is special?"
"This... how did you know?" Azure Emperor True Lord was surprised, then asked with a helpless expression.
"Because the aura emanating from the Azure Emperor True Lord is different from that of ordinary men. This aura reminds me of some unpleasant things."
"Hehe, not bad, I do indeed have a slightly special constitution."
"Special physical condition?"
Han Xiangzi was shocked to hear this. He never expected that the Azure Emperor True Lord would have a special physique.
Seeing Han Xiangzi's surprised expression, the Azure Emperor True Lord smiled faintly and continued, "Yes, you don't need to ask any more questions about this. In short, it's all Su Daji's fault. It's all her fault. If she hadn't caused me to become like this, I wouldn't have asked you to do this. Han Xiangzi, are you willing to help me cultivate this Nine-Leaf Lingzhi?"
"Yes, disciple is very happy to serve Azure Emperor True Lord," Han Xiangzi quickly flattered.
"That's good."
After Azure Emperor True Lord and Han Xiangzi reached an agreement, the two left Azure Emperor True Lord's residence. Azure Emperor True Lord took Han Xiangzi with him and left the Demon Race Holy Land.
"Fellow Daoist Han, you've been in the Demon Race for so long, have you encountered anything interesting?" asked the Azure Emperor True Lord.
"It's alright."
"Not bad? That simple?" The Azure Emperor True Lord frowned slightly, displeased, and said, "You are the eldest son of the Han Clan, and no one usually dares to provoke you. I didn't expect you to be so humble. It's really unbecoming of someone of your status as the eldest son of the Han Clan."
"Azure Emperor True Lord, please stop mocking me. Although my Han Clan is powerful, we have no foundation among the Demon Race, so we have always been bullied. Although I am a direct Han Clan, I cannot act with impunity among the Demon Race. I was able to return alive only because of Su Daji and Madam Han."
"I see. No wonder you've been so discreet. I understand now. Rest assured, since I promised you, I will ensure you leave here safely."
"Thank you, Azure Emperor True Lord!"
"Haha, it's what I should do. Alright, I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. You should focus on your cultivation."
"Yes, thank you, Azure Emperor True Lord!"
"You are welcome!"
Watching the Azure Emperor True Lord depart, Han Xiangzi sneered and muttered to himself, "You want me to help you cultivate Ganoderma lucidum? Dream on. I'm not Su Daji. You think you can seduce me with your beauty? You've got the wrong idea."
A certain place in the Demon Race Holy Land.
Inside a grand hall, a middle-aged woman held a wine glass, quietly sipping her drink, a hint of dazedness in her eyes.
"Clatter!"
Just then, a crisp sound rang out.
"Who?"
Upon hearing the sound, the middle-aged woman quickly looked up in the direction from which it came, a hint of anger appearing on her face.
"Han Xiangzi, didn't I tell you not to trespass into my palace? Have you forgotten my rules?" The middle-aged woman reprimanded Han Xiangzi with an air of superiority and arrogance.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, I was wrong!"
Hearing the middle-aged woman's reprimand, Han Xiangzi dared not argue back and quickly bowed to admit his mistake, but inwardly he scoffed, "Even if I was wrong, what can they do to me?"
Although Han Xiangzi was very unhappy, he dared not show it.
"Your Majesty, I have successfully cultivated the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi -Nine-Leaf Lingzhi. Shall we now cultivate it to maturity?"
"Um!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman nodded slightly and said, "Han Xiangzi, this cultivation of the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi is crucial to our future. You must be extremely careful and absolutely avoid any mistakes!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Han Xiangzi, you have a talent, keep it up!" The middle-aged woman said with a look of satisfaction.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mother."
"Alright, go on!"
"Yes!"
Han Xiangzi responded and then left the main hall.
Han Xiangzi left the main hall and went to his residence.
"Father."
You're back?
"Yes, Father, this time I have found the spiritual material to cultivate the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi."
"Where?"
"Let's go to the Azure Emperor True Lord's residence now. Once we successfully cultivate it, our Han Clan will be able to rise to prominence."
"Azure Emperor True Lord? Han Xiangzi, I've heard of his great name long ago. This person is no ordinary person. It is said that he possesses a special physique and is incredibly powerful. We cannot confront him directly, otherwise, it will bring disaster upon our Han Clan." Han Xiangzi's father, Han Tianlong, said in a deep voice.
