The innkeeper listened in confusion. How was this supposed to work? Using freshly boiled water to brew tea, and still needing it warm? That simply made no sense.

“Rise,” he said, pulling up the large halberd planted firmly in the ground. He strode over to his warhorse, swung himself up, and mounted.

But none of those competing against him were easy opponents. Each iron tree flower he sought to obtain had less than a one-in-five chance of falling to him.

“Only severing one arm—such a pity. If I could open another magic ‘portal,’ surely killing Rosen wouldn’t be a problem,” Xiang Hao muttered, staring at the bloodied arm on the ground with a sigh.

“This man must not die. If you two comrades wish to fight, I, Master Sandu, will take him on,” Master Sandu smiled.

Ye Chen looked at Yaochi resting in her embrace. Suddenly, a buzzing sound filled the air as a powerful life force swirled around his hand. He then placed his palm, enveloped in this life force, over Yaochi’s heart.

Brother Mao and Rat, seeing the observer heading toward the clinic, both extended their hands and said, “Wait a moment.” With that, they followed the observer.

Hearing this, Qin Yi’s face darkened, but he quickly regained composure and calmly took the glowing cyan box from the well-fed middle-aged man.

Though it was a gathering concerning spiritual plants, Jiu Tian remained utterly baffled. Jiang Dong was even more clueless, without a single lead.

One great seal after another revolved before the glowing aura. Unlike the seals forged by Qin Chuan, these appeared as entwined Yin and Yang fish. Below the seals, a Taiji diagram spun. Though less powerful than Qin Chuan’s, these Yin-Yang divine seals were far more authentic.

Lv Zhi fell silent, absentmindedly praising his loyalty a few times. Suddenly, she lifted her head, a strange glint flashing in her eyes.

With this in mind, Wang Chen began composing lyrics and music. Occasionally, his brows furrowed; at other times, a smile crossed his face. Hu Xiu, watching secretly, would sneak peeks at what he was writing but was always caught by Wang Chen.
