Chapter 2456

Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "If I really wanted to drink it, I could certainly get some, but it's too much trouble. I hate trouble."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "What's so troublesome about that? Just tell the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce and have them deliver it to your door. Wouldn't that be easy?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan shook her head. "You don't know how outrageous the prices for those fine teas are at the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce."

So it wasn't trouble, but a price issue.

However, for a dignified top expert of the Dao Venerable 9th Realm to be worrying about prices, that was indeed a bit absurd.

Grand Elder Jin Lan looked at Lin Moyu's expression. "You must be thinking, since I am clearly a Dao Venerable 9th Realm expert, how could I possibly be concerned about prices?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "Exactly. With your status and position, as long as you speak up, or go anywhere to gather some materials, it would be enough for you to buy plenty of top-quality tea."

Grand Elder Jin Lan sighed. "Some things are hard to explain. Regardless, I have my own difficulties."

Lin Moyu smiled. "If Grand Elder doesn't mind, you can tell me about it."

Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "Actually, this isn't a secret; many people know about it."

"I had a mishap when I was promoting to the Dao Venerable 9th Realm, and my foundation was damaged. Although I successfully promoted to the Dao Venerable 9th Realm, this injury has never fully healed, and I need to take medicine long-term to suppress it."

Lin Moyu understood. "This medicine isn't cheap, is it?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan nodded. "Very expensive. Almost all my savings are used to buy this medicine."

To suppress an injury of the Dao Venerable 9th Realm, one needs at least a pill of the Dao Venerable 7th Realm or higher.

Whether it's materials, magical treasures, or pills, once it reaches the Dao Venerable 7th Realm, the price is never low.

If it's the Dao Venerable 8th or 9th Realm, the price is even more shocking.

For instance, the top-quality pill in the Dao Venerable 9th Realm, the great dao longevity pill, has an incredibly shocking price; even the Three Ancestors would feel the pinch.

Then there is the great dao undying pill; although it is cheaper than the great dao longevity pill, it is still terrifyingly expensive.

Lin Moyu looked at Grand Elder Jin Lan. "The one you take, it wouldn't be the great dao longevity pill, would it?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan's eyes suddenly shot out golden light. "Fellow Daoist Lin knows of the great dao longevity pill?"

Lin Moyu said, "Naturally, I know of it. It's a top-quality healing pill. Can the great dao longevity pill not heal your injury?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan sighed. "It can only suppress it, not cure it completely. I have to take one great dao longevity pill every ten years."

Given the value of the great dao longevity pill, taking one every ten years is indeed a significant expense.

Even for a Dao Venerable 9th Realm expert like Grand Elder Jin Lan, it is a huge burden.

Grand Elder Jin Lan cannot offload this burden onto the clan either. The clan can only provide partial assistance, and she has to handle the bulk of it herself.

No wonder she said she was poor and couldn't even afford good tea.

She could be called the poorest Dao Nine Realm expert!

Lin Moyu said, "Grand Elder Jin Lan, you can now state your true purpose for coming."

Grand Elder Jin Lan was slightly stunned. "How did Fellow Daoist Lin know that I had other business?"

Lin Moyu chuckled. "It's not hard to guess."

Grand Elder Jin Lan flipped her palm and took out an exquisite box. "This is the box Fellow Daoist Lin is looking for, right?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "That's right."

Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "Then can Fellow Daoist Lin guess why I didn't give the treasure box to the clan, but came directly to give it to you instead?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "There's no need to guess that. If you gave the treasure box to the clan, the clan would have to give a heavy reward. But you have already received a lot from the clan and don't want to increase the burden on them. Besides, passing it from one hand to the other is meaningless."

"So, you might as well come to me and give me the box directly. Even if I don't have anything to exchange, at the very least, you can earn a favor."

Grand Elder Jin Lan smiled. "Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed clever."

Lin Moyu said, "Clan Leader Jin Mie probably doesn't know about this matter. If he knew, he certainly wouldn't agree."

Grand Elder Jin Lan's smile grew wider as she pushed the box to Lin Moyu. "That's right. I ask that Fellow Daoist Lin help me keep this a secret."

Lin Moyu reached out and took the box. "Certainly."

Putting away the box, Lin Moyu took out a spirit flower and presented it to Grand Elder Jin Lan.

Grand Elder Jin Lan saw the spirit flower and revealed a strange expression. "Fellow Daoist Lin, this flower…"

She could tell the spirit flower was extraordinary, but she didn't know what use it had.

Lin Moyu said, "Grand Elder Jin Lan will know once you use it!"

Grand Elder Jin Lan took the spirit flower, moved her soul power slightly, and activated it.

The spirit flower grew rapidly and then bloomed.

A gentle aura emanated from the flower, enveloping Grand Elder Jin Lan. Grand Elder Jin Lan immediately felt an indescribable comfort emanating from her soul.

At this moment, she knew the function of the spirit flower.

Without any resistance, she allowed the spirit flower to wrap around her.

Lin Moyu drank tea while simultaneously opening the box he had just obtained.

Having opened three boxes, Lin Moyu was already familiar with the process.

The formation inside the box operated, and accompanied by a soft sound, the box opened.

The aura of the Great Dao Realm emanated out. This time, there were no fragments in the box, but a round jade stone.

The jade stone displayed myriad colors and was very beautiful.

The moment the jade stone appeared, the Thousand Star Great Dao naturally emerged once again.

It wasn't just the Thousand Star Great Dao; the other few Great Daos were also a bit restless, but the movement wasn't as intense as the Thousand Star Great Dao.

"Strange, could this also be an item of the Star Monarch inheritance?"

Although Lin Moyu didn't understand it, he still threw the jade stone to the Thousand Star Great Dao.

In an instant, the world before his eyes changed, and he seemed to enter the starry sky.

Lin Moyu found himself standing on a path, surrounded by a pitch-black starry sky.

Then, a speck of light appeared in the pitch-black starry sky, and then, the lights became more and more numerous.

Only then did Lin Moyu discover that these lights were stars.

In the pitch-black starry sky around him, countless stars were hidden.

Now, some stars had begun to revive because of a certain special power, and this special power came from that peculiar jade stone from before.

The light of the stars went from weak to strong until the entire star was lit up, and then the star turned into a meteor and flew into the Thousand Star Great Dao.

"Star Monarch Xuanbing returns!" A realization rose from the bottom of Lin Moyu's heart.

"This is the return of the Star Monarch!"

"The former Star Monarchs not only left inheritance on the Origin Continent, but a large number of Star Monarchs also lay dormant in the deep space."

"Without the Star Monarchs, the Thousand Star Great Dao is incomplete, and the Great Dao is damaged."

"Now that the Star Monarchs are returning, the Great Dao is beginning to truly heal."

"This peculiar jade stone has the effect of repairing the Great Dao."

Watching one star after another go from dim to bright, and finally return to the Thousand Star Great Dao. "Star Monarch Huoli, Star Monarch Muri, Star Monarch Liedi…"

One by one, the Star Monarchs kept returning, and the power of the Thousand Star Great Dao gradually strengthened.

At this moment, Lin Moyu truly had the feeling of becoming a Dao Master.

These Star Monarch inheritances would all become his foundation.

In the future, when he becomes a Dao Master, these Star Monarchs will be his subordinates.

Besides the Undead Legion, he will also be able to possess an army composed of Star Monarchs!

Chapter 3098: The Dangerous Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury

In total, eighteen stars were revived, representing the return of eighteen Star Monarch inheritances to the Thousand Star Great Dao. The more Star Monarch inheritances that return, the more the Thousand Star Great Dao recovers.

A small jade stone actually had such miraculous effects, completely exceeding Lin Moyu's expectations.

Previously, Lin Moyu had been using his soul power to revive the stars, and several stars had already been revived one after another, but this process was extremely slow.

Although Lin Moyu's soul power was endless and constantly replenished, he couldn't use it recklessly in large quantities; he had to maintain a certain speed.

Now, one small jade stone was worth a hundred years of his effort. It had to be said, it was truly a good item.

When no more stars lit up, Lin Moyu's consciousness returned to reality from the Thousand Star Great Dao.

At this moment, the jade stone in his hand had turned into powder. Its power was completely exhausted, and it finally dissipated into the air with a breeze.

The exquisite box was empty. In his heart, Lin Moyu wanted even more to find this type of box; perhaps he could find even more good items.

In the prehistoric era, there were many good things, but it was unknown how many could be preserved to this day.

At this time, Grand Elder Jin Lan was still enveloped by the spirit flower. The spirit flower was gradually dissipating, and as the spirit flower dissipated, Grand Elder Jin Lan's injuries were also recovering.

The spirit flower didn't have a great effect on the Great Dao Realm, but for a Dao Venerable, it was a miraculous item.

Even for a Dao Venerable 9th Realm expert like Grand Elder Jin Lan, if one spirit flower wasn't enough, she could have another one.

A moment later, the spirit flower completely disappeared from sight. Grand Elder Jin Lan slowly opened her eyes, and two golden rays of light shot from her eyes, shooting straight into the sky.

The roof of the pavilion was struck by the golden light and directly turned into ashes.

A massive amount of power surged out from her body uncontrollably, and the entire courtyard was shaking and making noise. The water in the artificial lake surged into the sky, and the stone bridge and corridor above the lake collapsed in the tremors.

In an instant, the originally beautiful courtyard almost became ruins.

The light of the Sun Origin shone down directly. Lin Moyu felt warmth, but also felt a bit helpless. "What a pity for the courtyard."

Grand Elder Jin Lan let out a long breath, completely returned to her senses, and retracted her aura.

She felt nothing about the destruction she had caused; this kind of thing was trivial.

Her eyes filled with joy. She suddenly stood up and bowed to Lin Moyu. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin. I, Jin Lan, will remember this favor. In the future, if Fellow Daoist Lin has any matters, just give the order, and I will certainly not refuse."

Lin Moyu sat without moving, generously accepting Grand Elder Jin Lan's big bow; he was worthy of this bow. "Grand Elder Jin Lan, I wonder how your injuries are?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "They are 90% healed. In the future, I should only need to take one great dao longevity pill every hundred years."

She was in the Dao Venerable 9th Realm; one spirit flower hadn't been able to completely heal her injuries.

However, being able to change from taking medicine every ten years to every hundred years was already a huge improvement.

In this way, the pressure Grand Elder Jin Lan bore was significantly reduced. At the very least, she no longer had to be the poorest Dao Venerable 9th Realm expert. Suddenly, she froze in place, staring blankly at Lin Moyu.

Another spirit flower appeared in Lin Moyu's hand, and then the spirit flower flew towards her.

Lin Moyu's voice sounded at the same time. "Take another one; Grand Elder Jin Lan should be able to recover completely."

Grand Elder Jin Lan's whole body trembled slightly, and her voice also became somewhat shaky due to excitement. "Fellow Daoist Lin, this flower is too valuable."

She knew very well that the value of the spirit flower was far more valuable than the great dao longevity pill.

Lin Moyu said, "It is indeed quite valuable, but if it can help Grand Elder Jin Lan heal her injuries, it can be considered making the best use of it."

"Grand Elder Jin Lan, there is no need to be polite. Heal your injuries first; I still have something to trouble you with later."

Grand Elder Jin Lan took the spirit flower, forcibly suppressing the excitement in her heart. "What instructions does Mr. Lin have? Please just say it; I, Jin Lan, dare not disobey."

Her form of address for Lin Moyu changed from Fellow Daoist Lin to Mr. Lin.

From this moment on, she had completely accepted Lin Moyu.

Most of the Demon Race people don't have too many roundabout ways; one can distinguish what kind of status someone holds in their hearts just from a form of address.

Not everyone can be called "Mr.", especially an outsider like Lin Moyu.

The spirit flower grew again, wrapping Grand Elder Jin Lan up.

This time, the spirit flower's healing speed was much faster than before. The previous spirit flower had already healed the bulk of it; now, the second spirit flower was finishing it off.

In just ten minutes, the spirit flower dissipated, and Grand Elder Jin Lan's injuries were completely healed.

Grand Elder Jin Lan bowed deeply to Lin Moyu again. "Thank you, Mr."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Grand Elder Jin Lan is too polite. Next, it is my turn to trouble you." Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "Please give your instructions, Mr."

Lin Moyu said, "The first matter is, can Grand Elder Jin Lan tell me where you obtained this box?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan said without hesitation, "The Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury."

Lin Moyu said, "Can you tell me more specifically?"
