On April 3rd, it was sunny outside Dragon Emperor City. In the afternoon, Zhang Tie had already arrived at Cloudriver Valley outside Dragon Emperor City with the other elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace by airboat in the blink of an eye.
Seven elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace came to Cloudriver Valley together with Zhang Tie — — Luo Yunshang, Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu, Hou Moyuan, Wang Laisheng, Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng, the presidents of the four major departments of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Guan Minjun, the president of Earth-Treasures Department, Tang Shenghou, the president of Immortal Generals Department, Xue Zhongkai, the president of Heavenly Craftsmen Department and Huo Xianlai, the president of Supervision Department.
After the 7 elders resigned from their positions as the presidents of the four major departments of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, the new presidents of the four major departments were nominated by those elders who had resigned from their positions. Zhang Tie was a bit familiar with Guan Minjun as he had contacted her for a few times. As for the others, Zhang Tie just met them for a few times and talked with them for a short while. Therefore, he was not familiar with them. As for Zhang Tie, it was his top priority to improve his battle strength after becoming the Dragon Emperor. As long as his battle strength improved, all the problems would be solved. He didn't even feel like caring about the ordinary affairs of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, not to mention those presidents.
The semi-retirement of the elders and grand justices and the smooth handover of the positions of the presidents of the four major departments ensured the stability of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace after Zhang Tie took the throne. Previously, Zhang Tie thought that he could realize the smooth transition of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in this way and help Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace tide over the most difficult days. However, after what happened to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie found that it was just his wishful thinking.
Apparently, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace didn't face any crisis anymore; however, the hidden crisis caused by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace still existed. If there was a problem with the elders, then there was naturally a problem with the person they recommended. This was not something that could be solved by trickery.
Since trickery couldn't solve the problem, then he could only use his fists and knives. However, how to use the knife was a rather difficult technical job ….
…
The airboat landed on the vast grassland outside Cloudriver Castle. Hong Yukun was waiting for Zhang Tie on the grassland with some military officers and immortal generals of Dragon's Teeth Army.
Zhang Tie got off the airboat first, closely followed by all the other elders and presidents.
"Greetings, Your Majesty …"
"No need to be so polite!" Zhang Tie threw a glance at Hong Yukun as he found that Hong Yukun looked radiant and proud, which was utterly different than that distressed look a few days ago. Zhang Tie then pointed at Hong Yukun and introduced him to the others behind him, saying, "This is Hong Yukun, the former internal attendant of Dragon Emperor Pavilion and the current head of Cloudriver Valley. He's in charge of the entire Cloudriver Valley. Dragon Emperor Medicament is produced here …"
It was the most brilliant moment of Hong Yukun's life. Immortal generals like him were as numerous as carps crossing the river in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. As the elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, these people might not have heard about him before. Even if they had heard about him, they might not remember him. Even if they remembered his name, they might not care about him. However, today, so many important figures of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace came to his territory to watch his achievements and the production of Dragon Emperor Medicament. What an unusual honor!
At this moment, Hong Yukun was full of gratitude and awe towards Zhang Tie. He really had an impulse to die for his bosom friend. Without Zhang Tie, he might still be living a miserable life in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Since the day before yesterday, Hong Yukun felt that his life trajectory had changed. Previously, Hong Yukun thought that he liked the peaceful life; however, now, he found that it was not bad to be valued and flattered by others; especially when those people who valued and flattered him were also immortal generals like him.
After hearing Zhang Tie's introduction, Hong Yukun took in a deep breath as he bowed towards the elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, "Greetings, elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!"
All the elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace nodded towards Hong Yukun politely.
"Thanks for your hard work, Master Hong …" Luo Yunshang said politely.
"Not at all, not at all. I'm just serving the immortal palace …"
"Well, elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace are here to see the entire production process of Dragon Emperor Medicament. Yukun, as the landlord, show us around Cloudriver Valley!" Zhang Tie opened his mouth.
"Yes, Master, Your Majesty!" Hong Yukun threw a glance at Zhang Tie as he made a hand gesture, saying, "Please follow me, I will show you those fruits in Cloudriver Valley!"
"We don't need to see those orchards that have nothing to do with Dragon Emperor Medicament!" With a slight frown, Elder Shi Zhongyu said, "We've all known the orchard in Cloudriver Valley. Master Hong, please show us around the herbal garden. We're very curious about the medicinal herbs of Dragon Emperor Medicament which could have such a marvelous effect!"
Hong Yukun smiled modestly and calmly as he took a look at Zhang Tie. After seeing Zhang Tie slightly nod, Hong Yukun opened his mouth, "Elder Shi, you don't know about that. The fruits in Cloudriver Valley are important raw materials of Dragon Emperor Medicament. As for some medicinal materials in Cloudriver Valley, although they are also used in the production of Dragon Emperor Medicament, they are not the main raw materials!"
After hearing Hong Yukun's words, all the elders and presidents exchanged a glance with each other as they were all shocked. Yesterday, Zhang Tie gifted them 100 vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament. After they returned, they had all experienced the marvelous effect of Dragon Emperor Medicament. Even though they were not sick, they still felt strange after drinking Dragon Emperor Medicament. Not to mention that they had long known the reason why Emperor NvWa Palace bought Dragon Emperor Medicament. They thought that such a powerful Dragon Emperor Medicament must be made with many precious medicinal materials or special items; however, after hearing Hong Yukun's introduction, they knew that Dragon Emperor Medicament was mainly made with some fruits, which completely subverted their understanding.
Out of curiosity, even Elder Shi Zhongyu didn't insist anymore. Instead, they all wanted to see what was so special about the fruits in Cloudriver Valley.
Under the guidance of Hong Yukun, they started to wander around the orchards in Cloudriver Valley.
As they walked, Hong Yukun introduced the orchards in Cloudriver Valley to them.
The nearest orchard was less than 100 m away from the airboat of Cloudriver Castle. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at that orchard.
Cherries were planted in that orchard.
As it was April, cherries were ripe. When they entered the orchard, they saw some virgins of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace picking cherries with bamboo baskets. The alluring fragrance of cherries suffused the entire orchard …
