The atmosphere in the bedroom froze.
The Empress Dowager stared at Xu Que coldly. Xu Que stood upright and stared back at her with a clear conscience.
The Empress Dowager seemed to feel that there was nothing she could do about Xu Que. In the end, she could only skip over this matter. She walked into the bedroom and sat down on a chair.
Then she poured herself a cup of hot tea and said calmly, "Young Hero Xu, I invited you here because I have something important to discuss with you!"
"Empress Dowager, you are too polite. Just tell me what you want." Xu Que sat down casually and said seriously.
The Empress Dowager pushed the cup of hot tea in front of Xu Que and said calmly, "If I am not wrong, you are going to the Water Nation for the Genesis Aqua Herb, right?"
"Ah, you are so smart! You guessed it!" Xu Que blinked and smiled. He ignored the cup of hot tea and pretended that he did not see anything.
After all, in the underworld, one shouldn't eat and drink things from strangers! Who knew if the Empress Dowager would do something to it?
What if she covets the Act Tough King's body and drugged me?
The Empress Dowager saw this but did not say anything. She said calmly, "Young Hero Xu may not know this, but the Dragon Veins of the Water Nation are very special. They have been sealed by ice for many years. If the ice is broken by force, the Aqua Herb in the Dragon Veins will disappear. I have a treasure here called the Ice Penetrating Shuttle. It can easily break through the ice and get the Aqua Herb!"
"Oh? There is such a thing? "Xu Que smiled. He did not take it seriously.
The Dragon Veins of the Water Nation are sealed by ice? So what?
I have the System. Why should I be afraid of this little trouble? The System can extract the Aqua Herb directly. Why would I need the Ice Penetrating Shuttle?
The Empress Dowager was taken aback by Xu Que's reaction.
"Young Hero Xu, what I said is true. The Genesis Aqua Herb in the Dragon Veins of the Water Nation is very special. Only the Ice Penetrating Shuttle can get it," she said seriously, thinking that Xu Que did not believe her.
Xu Que shook his head. "Empress Dowager, you're wrong. Nothing is too strange in this world. There's always someone better than you. If we want to get the Genesis Water Herb, our Exploding Heavens Faction has at least a hundred ways!"
The Empress Dowager was stunned.
Originally, she wanted to use the Ice Penetrating Shuttle as her trump card to negotiate with Xu Que.
But now, Xu Que didn't care about the Holy Ice Penetrating Shuttle at all. He even claimed that he had a hundred ways to retrieve the spiritual herbs. This completely messed up the Empress Dowager's plan!
If this had happened on Earth, the Empress Dowager would have said to Xu Que, "You're really good at bragging. You've messed up my train of thought!"
...
After a moment of silence, the Empress Dowager nodded slightly. "It seems that I have underestimated Young Hero Xu. If you don't like the Ice Penetrating Shuttle, I will not waste your time.
To be honest, I know there is a pill in the Imperial Tombs of the Water Nation. I would like to ask Young Hero Xu to help me get it when you go in! "
"Oh? What pill? "Xu Que was curious.
The Empress Dowager said seriously, "Eight Star Ice Jade Pill!"
An Eight Star Pill?
When Xu Que heard this, he was shocked. Was the Water Nation really that powerful?
One had to know that in the five nations, even Six Star grade pills were rare. Now, in the Water Nation's Imperial Tombs, there was actually an Eight Star grade pill. If word of this got out, all the cultivators in the world would flock to the Water Nation to rob the tombs.
"As far as I know, there are three Ice Jade Pills hidden in the Imperial Tombs of the Water Nation," the Empress Dowager said softly. "They are priceless treasures, and they are only useful for female cultivators. As long as Young Hero Xu can bring one back for me, please state your conditions!"
Xu Que was at a loss for words.
What is so special about this Ice Jade Pill? How could the Empress Dowager say such a thing? Please state your conditions?
Tsk, this is so embarrassing! I am not that kind of person!
"Empress Dowager, what is the use of this Ice Jade Pill?" Xu Que asked curiously.
The Empress Dowager looked away and said calmly, "Young Hero Xu should be able to see that I have been stuck in a bottleneck for many years. This pill contains a huge amount of Taoist Connotation and Spiritual Qi, which can help me break through the bottleneck."
"I see!" Xu Que nodded.
But he was sneering in his heart.
He didn't believe the Empress Dowager's words. There was nothing wrong with an Eight Star Ice Jade Pill that could help him break through the bottleneck!
But in order to break through the bottleneck, the Empress Dowager said something like "please state your conditions". That was not right!
Immediately, Xu Que summoned the System and asked, "System, what is the use of this Ice Jade Pill?"
Ding! "The Ice Jade Pill is a high-grade pill that can cleanse one's muscles and marrow. Only virgin female cultivators who have reached the Infant Transformation Stage can take this pill. After taking it, the cultivator's Innate Spiritual Root will be greatly enhanced and there is a certain chance that it will evolve! "The System's voice rang in Xu Que's mind.
Xu Que was stunned when he heard that.
What does it mean?
This pill can only be taken by virgin female cultivators?
The Empress Dowager already has grandchildren. Why would she need this pill? Could it be for the Seventh Princesses?
That can't be right. The Seventh Princesses is only at Level 3 of the Original Infant Stage, but this pill can only be taken by cultivators at the Infant Transformation Stage. No matter how he looked at it, this pill seemed to be prepared by the Empress Dowager for himself.
Xu Que was full of doubts. When he thought of the way the Empress Dowager avoided his eyes when she explained the effects of this pill, he immediately knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed!
The matters of the Royal Family were very complicated!
If the Empress Dowager was a virgin, how many people would be scared to death?
Thinking of this, Xu Que couldn't help but squint his eyes. He looked at the Empress Dowager who was wearing a veil and couldn't see her face. He smiled faintly.
"Young Hero Xu, what do you think? Why are you smiling at me? Is there something dirty on my face? "The Empress Dowager frowned and asked directly without any hesitation.
Xu Que smiled and said, "Everyone loves beauty. Empress Dowager is as beautiful as a fairy. I'm just admiring you."
"Young Hero Xu, please mind yourself!" The Empress Dowager's eyes turned cold and her eyebrows knitted even deeper.
"Alright, then I'll cut to the chase. You want the Ice Jade Pill, that's not a problem! But … "
After saying that, Xu Que paused for a moment. Then he continued, "Circling this' but 'is the key point! Why should I bring the pill back to you? You said that I can ask for anything, but I don't lack anything. So this deal is meaningless! "
The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned and quickly said, "Young Hero Xu, I have countless treasures and magical items that I can give to you. I can even … I see that you and the Seventh Princess are very close. If the two of you are in love, I can fulfill your wish!"
"Ah? Even the Princess? "
