Yi Yun looked at the elegant man and bowed together with Fairy Black Bamboo, "Greetings, Your Highness.
The Prince glanced at Yi Yun and did not pay much attention to him. He carried on speaking to Fairy Black Bamboo.
"Fairy, there's no need to be so polite. I just had the time to pass by the Fire Cloud State today, so I came to meet you. The bamboo wine you have here is extremely fragrant and is a rare supreme-grade wine. Ordinary people will not be able to drink it. I wonder if an idle person like me will have the chance to drink it today? "The Prince said with a smile.
His attitude towards Fairy Black Bamboo was modest, which slightly surprised Yi Yun.
As an Earth Fire Hall Elder, Fairy Black Bamboo's status naturally differed greatly from the Prince's. For the Prince to think so highly of her, it seemed like Fairy Black Bamboo's talent was impressive.
Yi Yun knew that Fairy Black Bamboo's cultivation time was extremely short, and she had recently become an Elder in the Earth Fire Hall. With the appreciation of the upper echelons, she would soon be promoted in the future.
Fairy Black Bamboo had a promising future, but Elder Heaven Scorpio still dared to target Fairy Black Bamboo. That was because they were from different factions, so they were destined to fight. Furthermore, once Prince Crimson Firmament inherited the throne, Fairy Black Bamboo's future in the Luo clan would probably be greatly affected.
Fairy Black Bamboo smiled and said, "It has long been prepared for Your Highness."
"That's great." The Prince clapped and said with a smile.
His tone was very casual and he did not have the airs of a prince. When he conversed with Fairy Black Bamboo, it was as if they were old friends.
As the Prince and Fairy Black Bamboo conversed, the dragon turtle behind the Prince suddenly lit up with a golden beam of light. Following that, the gigantic dragon turtle that resembled an island became smaller and smaller. Its form also changed, and finally, it transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in a dark golden robe.
The middle-aged man was short and fat. He had a genial smile on his face, and there were two long dragon whiskers by the corners of his mouth.
As for the immortal mountain that was originally carried by the dragon turtle, it flew off the turtle's back and spun around randomly. Finally, it transformed into an enchanted treasure the size of a fist, and was stored into the fat middle-aged man's body!
Yi Yun drew a gasp when he saw this. For such a large dragon turtle to transform into a human, and for the immortal mountain and palace on its back to be enchanted treasures, it was unbelievable in the Tian Yuan world.
"Uncle Dragon also likes to drink. Let's have a taste together!"
Although the Dragon Turtle was the prince's mount, the Prince was very respectful towards "Uncle Dragon".
"Haha, I like drinking."
As the pudgy middle-aged man spoke, he entered the hall with Fairy Black Bamboo. As for Yi Yun, he followed beside them. Be it the prince or the pudgy middle-aged man, they did not pay much attention to Yi Yun.
This was also reasonable. They treated Yi Yun as Fairy Black Bamboo's disciple or follower. With such an identity, the duo did not need to pay much attention to Yi Yun.
…
Moments later, in Fairy Black Bamboo's bamboo house, the prince, the pudgy middle-aged man, and Fairy Black Bamboo sat around an antique round table.
Fairy Black Bamboo was still carefully sitting on the lower seat. Her sitting posture was also very proper. However, the pudgy middle-aged man had already taken a flask of wine and was gulping it down.
"Haha, the taste is really good." The stout middle-aged man praised.
As for Yi Yun, he naturally stood behind Fairy Black Bamboo as he listened to the trio chat.
"I wonder why Your Highness has come to the Fire Cloud State?" Fairy Black Bamboo asked.
Previously, the Prince had mentioned that he was passing by and wanted to take a look. However, Black Bamboo knew that with the Prince's status, it was impossible for him to come to the Fire Cloud State for leisure. There was still something he needed to do.
"I came here on Her Majesty Empress Xuan's orders." The Prince drank a mouthful of bamboo wine and said leisurely.
"Her Majesty Empress Xuan?"
Fairy Black Bamboo faltered for a moment. Empress Xuan was Princess Purple Spirit's birth mother.
"Haha, there's no other way. Princess Purple Spirit has a capricious nature. I think she doesn't care much about inheriting the throne. The one who is really anxious is Her Majesty Empress Xuan."
A mother's status was determined by her son's. Princess Purple Spirit was obviously anxious when it came to vying for the throne.
Fairy Black Bamboo said, "Princess Purple Spirit is still young, so it's normal for her to be bored with matters of power. In the future, when Princess Purple Spirit grows up, it will naturally improve. Speaking of which, did Her Majesty Empress Xuan give any decree?"
"There's no decree, but Her Majesty Empress Xuan places great importance on the upcoming Luo Divine Hall trials. As you know, our Luo clan was greatly weakened in the battle with the Sinkhole. The Luo Divine Hall disciples also suffered quite a number of losses! Now, our Luo clan indeed needs to nurture a large number of the younger generation to slowly recover. For the upcoming Luo Divine Hall trials, His Majesty, Emperor Luo, has given an imperial decree. He has taken out a few treasures from the Divine Treasure Palace to heavily reward the Luo clan disciples with outstanding results! "
"As you know, His Majesty Emperor Luo is about to abdicate the throne. Princess Purple Spirit and Brother Crimson Firmament are vying for the throne more intensely. His Majesty Emperor Luo makes decisions based on trivial matters. Besides, the upcoming Luo Divine Hall trials is no trivial matter. Her Majesty Empress Xuan obviously does not want to lose when His Majesty Emperor Luo places so much importance on it!"
"So that's how it is …" Fairy Black Bamboo understood. For the Luo Divine Hall trials, His Majesty Emperor Luo had personally given an imperial decree, and he had even taken out the treasures of the Divine Treasure Palace. This was no trifling matter. Items that could be placed in the Divine Treasure Palace were the best of the best. Ignoring the disciples of the various states, even a prince would need to have outstanding talent to enjoy a few of the resources in the Divine Treasure Palace.
After the war, the Luo clan had suffered heavy losses, so it was reasonable for them to take out the accumulated heritage of the Luo clan to showcase their strength. To this generation of Luo clan disciples, this was indeed a rare opportunity that only appeared once in a hundred thousand years. If they grabbed it, they could really enjoy large amounts of precious resources, allowing them to have a meteoric rise and have a promising future.
The prince carried on, "Black Bamboo, you also know that Imperial Brother Crimson Firmament is already 3500 years old. The faction under him has been in operation for more than 3000 years. Imperial Brother Crimson Firmament's birth mother, Her Majesty Empress Luo, has entered the imperial palace tens of thousands of years earlier than Her Majesty Empress Xuan. Furthermore, Her Majesty Empress Luo's family also has an Ancient Fey bloodline, so they are equally powerful!"
"As for Princess Purple Spirit, although her talent is better than Imperial Brother Crimson Firmament's, she is still too young. Princess Purple Spirit does not have any faction of her own, and she is completely supported by Her Majesty Empress Xuan. This Luo Divine Hall trials is indeed an opportunity for Imperial Brother Crimson Firmament to showcase his prowess. If his people were to occupy the majority of the spots, regardless of the reason, Princess Purple Spirit and Her Majesty Empress Xuan would not look good. It might even affect His Majesty Emperor Luo's decision on the heir to the throne."
When the prince said this, Fairy Black Bamboo nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. However, for this Luo Divine Hall trials, Black Bamboo alone is lacking in manpower, so he probably won't be of much use. We can only try our best to nurture the disciples under us to give it a try."
"Alright, let's just do our best. This time, I will be going to three states, so I have brought some resources with me. Let's hope it can be of some use by sharpening my spear at the last minute. Black Bamboo, tell me, who in the Fire Cloud State can be of use? "
