Leaf?

Yang Yan wanted that leaf, clearly because he had discovered something!

"Yang Tianjiao, did that leaf show you an immortal, taking you to the Divine Realm?" Empress Ming He asked.

Yang Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you know what happens after drinking the water soaked with that leaf?"

Empress Ming He lowered her head.

"I know."

"Good that you know, tell me, I need to know.

What did the person see after drinking the water from the first leaf?" Yang Yan said.

The reason he wanted the third leaf was that he believed

drinking the water from these three leaves would reveal a complete life-and-death scenario.

Whether it was right or wrong depended on the visions after drinking the water from the third leaf.

At the same time, he also needed to know what the person who drank from the first leaf saw!

"The first leaf? That was drunk by a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

He slept for three days and nights and upon waking, said he dreamt of an old Daoist immortal residing in an Immortal Palace in the heavens.

He practiced alchemy every day, living carefree!

The things he possessed were incredibly mystical.

Like a golden bracelet that could seize a person's Magic Treasure, a flame that could burn heaven and earth...

He also said he had a blue ox, often riding it across the heavens and earth with great joy!

And he just followed by his side, watching him practice alchemy, carefree, unaware of time passing by." Empress Ming He pondered as she spoke.

Old immortal?

Blue ox?

*He saw a black ox, and he also saw the old immortal.*

*Although he only saw his back, and the person was not carefree.*

*That figure stumbled in the light and shadow, moving very slowly!*

*It was indeed like an old man!*

*However, even though the person moved so slowly, the black ox Yang Yan was riding never caught up.*

And then he woke up!

"Alchemy? Didn't that cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm record the scene of the alchemy?

Or say, the alchemy materials? The timing?" Yang Yan didn't voice his thoughts, just continued asking.

Empress Ming He frowned.

"Yang Tianjiao, do you mean the scene in that dream is real?

If the alchemy materials and timing were noted, could it produce an... Immortal Pill?"

Yang Yan nodded slightly.

"Possibly!"

Empress Ming He was startled and then looked bitter.

"Yang Tianjiao, it would have been great if you drank the water from the first leaf.

I believe the events you dreamt about could be recorded.

But that cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm was too dull.

He didn't understand alchemy, and the timing was too complex for him to remember.

What a pity, such a pity!

If he had remembered, perhaps I would have already concocted an Immortal Pill, consumed it, and ascended to immortality!" she said regretfully.

"Wait, Yang Tianjiao.

Didn't you also dream of that old immortal? Was he refining alchemy, and did you note it down?"

Yang Yan shook his head.

"When I dreamt, the world had changed, and he was no longer refining alchemy.

In my view, some of the experiences in between were not recorded.

Or rather, many leaves had disappeared!

You can ask King Ping Jian later if he has any leaves hidden and hasn't handed them over!"

Empress Ming He nodded.

"Alright, I will certainly ask him thoroughly!" Her expression became cold.

Being able to produce an Immortal Pill, would she still need her useless son?

"Upon consuming the Immortal Pill, I will become immortal.

I will crush through the ages, unrivaled!" she thought to herself. "Just need to ask Yang Tianjiao..."

Right at that moment, Yang Yan raised his hand, and a power entered Empress Ming He's head.

"Yang Tianjiao? What is this?" Empress Ming He was startled.

She felt a sense of danger!

"Once you accomplish the task, I will remove it.

If you speak of today's matters, I will certainly kill you!" Yang Yan said coldly.

He naturally needed to leave a backup plan; otherwise, if Empress Ming He betrayed him, he would have many troubles!

He feared no trouble, but he didn't want unnecessary ones!

"Understood, Yang Tianjiao, rest assured, I will never betray you!" Empress Ming He said softly.

"Alright." Yang Yan didn't withdraw the Profound Qi from Empress Ming He's body.

Their words were just words to listen to!

Trust?

That would be too foolish!

"Yang Tianjiao, do you have any other tasks for me to accomplish?" Empress Ming He asked with a smile.

*She seemed eager to please!*

"First, find the leaf; we must complete this matter before my Ascension!"

This matter wasn't simple!

Empress Ming He would likely need some time!

"Rest assured, Yang Tianjiao, I will definitely take care of it!"

Yang Yan waved his hand.

"Alright, first recover your health."

"Yes." Empress Ming He hurriedly took an elixir to recover herself.

Yang Yan tossed the Empress's knife out, stabbing it before her.

"Take your things!"

This knife was useless to him!

As a Magic Treasure, it was too worthless!

"Okay, okay, thank you, Yang Tianjiao." Empress Ming He breathed a sigh of relief.

This knife was her Lifebound Spirit Artifact and could not be lost.

Otherwise, her Heart Realm would become unstable, her Dao Heart would be damaged, and her cultivation would stagnate!

Returning it to her was excellent!

Yang Yan now slowly turned to look at Chen Sisi.

Chen Sisi felt Yang Yan's gaze, trembling all over.

Cowering in fear, afraid Yang Yan would strike her down.

"Yang Tianjiao, I was only following orders."

"I didn't see you unwilling, rather you seemed quite willing!"

*Chen Sisi's heart turned cold!*

"Yang Tianjiao, I can also work for you, please spare me, don't kill me!" she pleaded with Yang Yan without any further arguments.

"You can help me retrieve the leaf too?" Yang Yan said coldly.

Chen Sisi looked distressed.

"This task, I, I can't do!

However, but I can help you in other ways, to your satisfaction!"

Yang Yan's eyes showed a strange look.

"Looks quite delicate, but has heavy preferences!" he thought.

He didn't speak, making Chen Sisi even more frightened.

"I can do it right away!"

She immediately knelt on the ground, crawling over to Yang Yan's feet.

"Please, master, lift your leg, I, I will help you take off your shoes!" Chen Sisi said with her head lowered, hands raised.

*Was she really going to do it?* Yang Yan was surprised!

"I remember you fancy the Crown Prince?"

He spoke, indicating Li Dongchen.

Would she do something to betray Li Dongchen in front of him?

*Chen Sisi was silent for a moment.*

"As long as you don't say, the Empress doesn't say, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince won't know..."

Yang Yan took a few steps and sat on the table.

Chen Sisi quickly crawled to him, holding up his shoes.

An hour later, Empress Ming He had recovered from her internal injuries, her Profound Qi calm.

"Yang Tianjiao, I've recovered!"

*Seeing Chen Sisi's actions, she understood in her heart!*

*She knew how to please Yang Yan, how to assure him of her loyalty now!*

"Alright, since that's the case, then I will leave first, remember what you must do!"

Yang Yan got down from the table and began to walk away.

"Understood!"

Exiting the back hall and entering the main hall.

The first person he met was King Ping Jian, who, upon Yang Yan's appearance, looked at him, and when their gazes met, his expression changed.

"Yang Tianjiao, you..." King Ping Jian said in amazement.

He didn't expect Yang Yan to come out alive.

"Did you wake up? Did you see immortals?" King Ping Jian quickly adjusted his expression, asking with a smile.

"You're surprised I'm alive, aren't you?" Yang Yan revealed a profound smile.

King Ping Jian's eye twitched.

"No, Yang Tianjiao, you weren't poisoned, how could you die?"

His smile was a bit forced, his heart having a bad premonition!

"Oh? Nicely acted, but I don't like it!

Hand over the items you got alongside that leaf!

Otherwise, your son will die!" Yang Yan stated directly.

King Ping Jian's smile vanished as he hesitated for a moment.

Ultimately, he didn't make a move, took out a Storage Bag, and threw it.

"Everything is in there!" he said.

Yang Yan scanned it with his Divine Sense and put away the Storage Bag.

With a wave, Sun Feifan's Storage Bag was also drawn in by him.

This Storage Bag contained the Spirit Stone, which was what Yang Yan needed!

After putting it away, he walked towards the exit, passing by Chen Xi.

Sword Qi erupted from his body like spring flowers blooming.

Nearby Chen Xi was torn apart by the Sword Qi, akin to petals of a red rose, fluttering through the air!
