Outside Chan School.
The Immortal Old Man of the South Pole, Perfected Yu Ding, Perfected Taiyi, Perfected Yellow Dragon, and other personal disciples of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning stood on immortal clouds and looked into the distance.
Chi La.
Suddenly, a slight tearing sound was heard.
It was Taiyi Zhenren who took out a bag of spicy strips from somewhere.
He tore open the spicy strip in a practiced manner and took a bite, and could not help chuckling when he saw his fellow disciples looking at him. "This is a local specialty that Jiang He's dog brought from the homeworld. It's called the spicy strip, and it's said to be very popular on the homeworld. Young people love it, and it costs ten bags for one immortal crystal, along with a bottle of Very Cola and a bucket of potato chips and chicken popcorn. It's quite fitting and tastes quite good — have a try?"
Seeing the Old Man of the South Pole and the rest shaking their heads, Taiyi Zhenren finished the whole pack of spicy strips in a few mouthfuls. Then, he waved his hand and took out a bottle of Very Cola. After gulping down half of the bottle, he opened the lid and looked. He said happily, "Another bottle, haha, another bottle!"
"What? Another bottle?"
The True Habitant of Yellow Dragon asked in surprise, while the True Habitant of Tai Yi explained, "It's very funny. There's a promotion where the words' Another Bottle 'are written on the bottle cap, and you can exchange it with Jiang He's dog for another bottle by using the cap. It's said that there's another box, but the chances of that are so slim that not even one in ten thousand bottles would get another box."
Very Cola obviously didn't have such activities.
Still, Dumbo and the others bought a lot, which was why they immediately placed an order with Very Cola's higher-ups.
"I see."
The True Habitant of the Yellow Dragon exclaimed in realization, "That's interesting and not too expensive. I'll buy some from Jiang He's dog later."
The price …
Not expensive?
If the group of cultivators from Earth heard this, they would probably jump up and curse.
What kind of price was an immortal crystal?
On Earth, it was definitely priceless.
Two years ago on Earth, a low-grade spirit stone was priced at tens of millions, and it was difficult to buy one even if one had the money.
Today, the earth had experienced the second Spirit Qi Revival, and the country had also discovered a Spirit Stone Vein. Even so, the price of a low-grade Spirit Stone was still as high as five million.
If low-grade spirit stones were already so valuable, mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones were naturally even more precious. As for immortal crystals … they couldn't be bought even if one had the money.
Using one immortal crystal to buy junk food worth a few bucks?
Wasn't this a complete waste of a heavenly treasure?
Of course.
Those Immortal Sect and Fiend Sect cultivators from Earth would probably never come into contact with an expert at the level of Perfected Taiyi in their entire lives.
After chatting for a few minutes about spicy strips and cola, Perfected Taiyi changed the topic and asked, "Senior Brother Yu Ding, what's going on? Why did the Jade Emperor suddenly think of coming to our Hollow Jade Palace? "
"I don't know the details."
The True Habitant of Yu Ding replied, "I had contacted Yang Jian and asked him to relay Jiang He's message to the Hollow Jade Temple, but he ended up contacting me later that the Jade Emperor is coming to the Hollow Jade Temple."
The Jade Emperor was the master of the Celestial Court, a Daoist orthodoxy. In terms of seniority, he was of the same generation as the sages.
Although the Old Man of the South Pole and his group kept calling him 'Jade Emperor', which seemed very disrespectful, they, as personal disciples of the Primordial Lord of Heaven, naturally had to come out and receive the Jade Mirage Palace since the Jade Emperor had personally come to the Jade Mirage Palace.
Fortunately, Master Guangchengzi and the others were not around. Otherwise, the Twelve Immortals of the Jade Void would probably all be present.
The Lord of the Heavenly Court was just that awesome!
"Hmm?"
That was when the Old Man of the South Pole's gaze suddenly shifted as he looked towards the distant horizon and smiled. "They're here."
At the same time, a hundred million miles away from the mountain gates of the Chan Sect —
The tranquil horizon abruptly quaked as the Jade Emperor, Lü Dongbin, and Yang Jian abruptly appeared.
Right then, the Jade Emperor had changed into a new set of brocade robes.
It was purple-gold in color and embroidered with patterns of True Dragons, Phoenixes, and other divine beasts, making it appear very stylish.
The Jade Emperor studied his surroundings and smiled. "It's been years since I last moved around the mortal realm. Don't worry, Lord Dongbin — we can just fly there."
Lü Dongbin, who was about to charge the Space-Piercer Shuttle to teleport the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian, promptly stopped. Casting a hand seal, he invoked a flying sword, but then realized that it was not a good idea to carry the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian on a flying sword, which was why he waved his hand and invoked an immortal boat.
The immortal boat expanded in the wind and instantly turned into a luxurious ship that hovered in the air. Lord Dongbin smiled. "Your Majesty, please. True Lord Erlang, please."
After the Jade Emperor, True Lord Erlang, and Yang Jian landed on the boat, Lü Dongbin followed.
Although the ship was only a superior-grade immortal artifact, its flying speed was not slow under Lü Dongbin's control. It drew a streak of immortal light in the sky and flew towards the Jade Mirage Palace a hundred million miles away.
The Jade Emperor was in high spirits as he stood at the bow of the ship with a wine cup in his hand, looking at the mountains and rivers below.
Lü Dongbin chatted with the Jade Emperor while True Lord Erlang sat cross-legged on the deck. He had always been a man of few words. Although his relationship with the Jade Emperor … was not too bad, there was still some distance between them.
About an hour later, the immortal boat stopped in front of the mountain gates of the Chan Sect.
Just as the Jade Emperor disembarked, the True Habitant of Yu Ding and the others approached him, all of them greeting him as' Martial Uncle Jade Emperor '.
The Jade Emperor was very magnanimous. He went straight to the point and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so polite, Zhenren. I've come uninvited today, and I'm sorry to have disturbed you … Zhenren, I'm actually here today to meet that young man from the Ancestral Star."
"Martial Uncle Jade Emperor wants to meet Jiang He?"
The True Habitant of Yu Ding and the other Twelve Immortals of the Jade Mirage Palace were all moved, while the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole stepped forward and smiled. "Jiang He is now staying at the Jade Mirage Palace. I'll send someone to inform him right now …"
"No need. I'll go myself."
The Jade Emperor waved him off, cutting him off.
The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole was not too surprised.
It was not unreasonable for the Jade Emperor to visit Jiang He personally, given the various demonic abilities Jiang He had displayed … the Lord of the Three Realms might have great authority, but he had a very good temper.
"I'll lead the way, Martial Uncle Jade Emperor."
"Many thanks, Imperator of Longevity!"
The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole had an immortal position in the Celestial Court as well, and was the Celestial Court's Longevity Emperor of the South Pole. However, he was just a figurehead and not even the Jade Emperor had the authority to order him around … after all, his status was there for all to see.
Soon.
Jiang He's courtyard entered the Jade Emperor's vision.
"Martial Uncle, this is where Jiang He is staying. He had borrowed my master's Three Gem Jade Scepter, saying that he wants to use its temporal acceleration array. I wonder if he's cultivating right now … Eh?"
Even before the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole finished, he sensed a flash of aura in Jiang He's body. Soon, an immortal pot took to the air, hovering above Jiang He's courtyard and expanding without stopping …
It eventually stopped when it was ten thousand feet wide.
Then, Jiang He took to the air, holding a Spatial Ring and pouring various immortal herbs into the pot with a clatter.
As he poured, he noticed the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole and Lü Dongbin, and promptly poured every medicinal ingredient in the Spatial Ring into the pot before flying toward them, greeting Lü Dongbin in delight, "You're finally here, Brother Lü … Eh? Could this be the legendary Erlang Sheng?"
And Yang Jian was right behind them.
Though this was the first time Yang Jian had met Jiang He, he was a disciple of the Chan Sect. Even if he had been guarding the Celestial Court recently, Jiang He's name rang like thunder in his ears, and promptly offered a fist-palm salute. "Greetings, Brother Jiang He."
Jiang He returned the salute and exchanged a few pleasantries.
When Lü Dongbin saw that Jiang He was not paying attention to the Jade Emperor at all, he promptly communicated with him through acoustics, and only then did Jiang He jolt and exclaim in surprise, "You're the Jade Emperor?"
The Jade Emperor was dumbstruck.
The Jade Emperor scowled!
He felt offended!
