Urban Invincible Overlord
Chapter 1441 - 1438: Gift of the Jade Scroll
Wan Daorong sighed inwardly, then praised with his words: "Worthy indeed is the master of the Shen Family; the intelligence network of the Shen Family across the entire Southern Domain World is truly all-pervasive. Such secretive information, and the Shen Family knows about it so quickly."
Shen Wanjing hurriedly said: "Master Wan flatters me. Our Shen Family is in the business trade, and wishing to grow our business successfully, making friends is the most critical aspect. It’s not that our Shen Family has a powerful intelligence network, but rather friends all over the world, so whenever there is any new news, we obtain it faster than others."
Wan Daorong smiled indifferently and said to Shen Wanjing: "Since you already know about this matter, now inviting me and Yang Fei here, is it really just to verify the authenticity of this news?"
Shen Wanjing hastily clasped his fists: "Master Wan, please don’t misunderstand. You are a revered elder of the Southern Domain, and I’ve always regarded you as a mentor, never daring to forget your guidance and teachings from years ago. Though I invited you here to confirm this news, my hospitality is genuine, and Heaven and Earth can vouch for my sincerity."
Wan Daorong gave him a deep look, nodded, and said: "I believe your words. Since that is the case, I will not stand on ceremony. I am indeed grateful for your hospitable reception, which brings me much comfort. However, my sect has an urgent matter that requires my return, so I cannot delay further, and thus can only meet with you briefly today. I shall bring Yang Fei back to Shang Qing Sect to handle the urgent matter, and then return with him as a guest at your place. Even if we stay for several days then, it will be no problem."
Shen Wanjing stood up upon hearing, with an apologetic smile: "So you have urgent matters to attend to; it seems I was tactless. Master Wan, you should’ve made it clear earlier, so as not to delay your journey."
Wan Daorong waved his hand: "Although the matter is urgent, a brief visit doesn’t count as a delay—just that we can’t linger for long."
Shen Wanjing said: "Urgency matters most. Hence, I can only neglect you two this time. Come on, let me see you off."
Wan Daorong stood up, and the two of them started to walk outside.
Yang Fei couldn’t help but feel bewildered.
Wasn’t this just pointless delay?
Considering it for a moment, Yang Fei, not caring about losing face, drank his cup of Huangqi Mountain Immortal Tea in one gulp, and even took a fruit before following the two men.
As they exited the lounge, Shen Wanjing turned back toward Yang Fei and said, "Taoist Yang, do you have any extra Divine Medicine on you? I’d like to know if I might have a chance to purchase some or maybe exchange it for something from my Shen Family."
Wan Daorong became tense on the inside, knowing Shen Wanjing wouldn’t let this opportunity slip so easily, and couldn’t help but look at Yang Fei with furrowed brows.
But he did not transmit anything to Yang Fei, nor did he shake his head or make any other gestures to hint at Yang Fei. He just looked at Yang Fei calmly, allowing Yang Fei to decide for himself.
Yang Fei looked at Shen Wanjing, then at Wan Daorong.
Seeing these two powerful figures staring at him, Yang Fei only felt his scalp tingling, and goosebumps arose all over his body.
Shen Wanjing appeared amiable, but he was indeed assertive; such a big shot could not be offended by any means.
Moreover, to him, the Genetic Liquid Medicine had long been offered to the Southern Domain, and whoever gets it in the Southern Domain was not his concern.
Now that Shen Wanjing also wants it and isn’t forcibly taking it but is willing to buy or barter, how could he not give him face?
Therefore, Yang Fei hesitated only slightly before decisively nodding: "Is it the Genetic Liquid Medicine that the elder desires?"
Shen Wanjing nodded: "Indeed, it is. Does such miraculous object truly exist in this world? Does it really have the legendary miraculous effects?"
Yang Fei said: "What miraculous effects has the elder heard of it having?"
Shen Wanjing said: "I’ve heard that this object can enhance cultivators’ Spirit Root Grade? And can create Spirit Roots for those without any?"
Yang Fei said: "It does have such effects, but it’s probabilistic. Not everyone who consumes it will achieve these results."
Shen Wanjing nodded: "That’s only natural, or the Cultivation World would have everyone becoming Immortals by now."
Yang Fei smiled at his words and said: "Yes, if the Genetic Liquid Medicine had such effects for everyone, then everyone in the Cultivation World would eventually become Immortals, and the Immortal Realm would be overcrowded, with Immortals everywhere."
Shen Wanjing laughed heartily and said: "Well said. So, such miraculous medicine surely should not exist in this world."
Yang Fei chuckled: "Is the elder doubting the miraculous effects of the Genetic Liquid Medicine?"
Shen Wanjing shook his head: "Not disbelief, but rather never having witnessed its effects firsthand means I’m cautious in what I believe. Of course, considering both Master Wan and the Divinity Transformation Realm Taoist friends from the Southern Domain pay such importance to it, it surely isn’t simple. I therefore wish to personally witness its effects."
With a thought, Yang Fei took out a small bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine from his storage bag and offered it with both hands: "Since the elder shows interest in this item and is the greatest merchant in the Southern Domain, this bottle is a gift from a junior to an elder as a greeting, hoping to form a favorable bond."
Shen Wanjing laughed heartily, shaking his head: "You are generous, yet I, Shen Wanjing, never take advantage of friends, but instead only make them owe me favors."
The bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine floated in the air, Shen Wanjing did not reach to take it.
Wan Daorong observed that small bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine, feeling slightly jealous and uneasy.
You kid have recognized me as your master, yet you didn’t give your master any spectacle greeting gift, but met Shen Wanjing, this Half Step Dao Unity powerhouse for the first time, and gave a bottle. Truly generous!
Regarding Yang Fei offering a small bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine to him and Li Shuya, Zhao Yunzhi, and Wang Zudao simultaneously on Earth, Wan Daorong did not consider that a master greeting gift, for the other three also received it.
Seeing Shen Wanjing not taking it, Yang Fei said: "Is the elder dissatisfied with the small quantity I offer?"
Shen Wanjing straightforwardly laughed loudly, saying: "So you’ve penetrated my thoughts, is this small bottle enough?"
Yang Fei said: "If lucky, a small bottle like this is enough to alter one’s genetic combination, allowing them to develop Spirit Root Talent. The first person to test this medicine only consumed one-tenth of the bottle, and in less than twenty years, he went from a mere mortal Martial Artist to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
Upon hearing that, a flash of insight appeared in Shen Wanjing’s eyes, and he took the bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine nonchalantly.
He simultaneously glanced at Wan Daorong and asked: "Master Wan, after acquiring this item at your Shang Qing Sect, has any disciple experienced significant effects after consumption?"
Wan Daorong nodded: "One disciple’s Spirit Root Grade has improved. Given your intelligence systems, you probably know that more disciples from Lingxiao Sect have consumed this item, with significant effects being the most evident. Especially that Jiang Yao, who has secretly consumed this item for over a decade and is now at Half-step Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation, perhaps within ten years, he may instantly teleport to enter the Divinity Transformation Realm."
Shen Wanjing nodded solemnly, having indeed heard of this news.
"Taoist Yang, I accept this gift, and this Jade Scroll should be kept close to you. Should you face any troublesome situations, you can transmit information to me through this Jade Scroll. As long as you are within the Southern Domain World, I’ll be able to receive the information and locate you." Shen Wanjing directly tossed a crystal clear sapphire blue Jade Scroll to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei caught the Jade Scroll, catching the sight of shock on Wan Daorong’s face, evidently surprised by Shen Wanjing giving him this Jade Scroll.
