Chapter 1085 Senior Brother, You Can’t!
It was easy to say that one wanted to forge a path for themselves. Every pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master wanted to do so. Yet, after so many years, none of the pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters had succeeded.
The Moon Empress turned her attention to the brocade box in Gu Lang’s hands.
Her expression s.h.i.+fted, and she said, “Langya Pavilion sure has some treasures in their possession. I didn’t expect them to have the Emperor Melodious Spirit Jadeite. It’s even the extremely rare gla.s.s-species Emperor Melodious Spirit Jadeite. I have much more use for the pure spirit qi in the Emperor Melodious Spirit Jadeite than the Golden Thearch Bamboo.”
The Moon Empress turned to Mystic Moon and said, “Mystic Moon, receive both items on my behalf.”
Mystic Moon walked up and received the boxes from Xia Chen and Gu Lang before returning to the Moon Empress’ side.
The Moon Empress peered at the Emperor Melodious Spirit Jadeite before placing the box with the Golden Thearch Bamboo in Lin Yuan’s hands.
“Little Yuan, you take the Golden Thearch Bamboo. Its leaves can increase the purity of spirit qi, and its shoot can reduce the time taken to concoct spirit fluids. Its stem can also increase the h.o.m.ogeneity of spirit fluids when it’s used as a stirrer. If you contract it, it’ll significantly help your Creation Master abilities.”
Lin Yuan glanced at Gu Lang and immediately noticed his reluctance.
Lin Yuan received the Golden Thearch Bamboo from the Moon Empress. However, he did not have any intention of contracting it. Although it was a precious treasure to other Creation Masters, it was useless to Lin Yuan because he did not use conventional Creation Master techniques to evolve feys.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan did not turn it away since it was a gift from the Moon Empress. After all his experiences, Lin Yuan no longer thought of things in a simple manner, and he was not as stubborn as before either.
He no longer insisted on relying on himself for everything to the point that he rejected gifts from the Moon Empress.
Although he was still self-reliant, he no longer rejected the things that the Moon Empress gave him.
The Moon Empress’s description of the Emperor Melodious Spirit Jadeite came to Lin Yuan’s mind.
It seemed that the Moon Empress needed pure spirit qi and that it was very important to her.
Lin Yuan had no lack of pure spirit qi.
Still, Lin Yuan could not mention the pure spirit qi to the Moon Empress with Gu Lang and Xia Chen here.
Although Lin Yuan regarded Gu Lang as his good friend, he knew that some things were best kept to one’s closest circle.
There were some things that he could tell the Moon Empress because she was his Master and essentially family.
As such, there were things that he could never tell his friends no matter how close they were.
Since Lin Yuan had arrived, the Moon Empress was no longer interested in speaking to Gu Lang and Xia Chen. “I appreciate the Bamboo Monarch’s intentions. The two of you can go back and tell him that there’s no need to send any more treasures to the Radiant Moon Palace. I have no lack of treasures. If I need anything in the future, I will let the Bamboo Monarch know,” said the Moon Empress.
Gu Lang and Xia Chen both made hasty sounds of acknowledgment.
“Moon Empress, I shall leave Leaning Moon Mountain with my Junior Brother to relay your message to Master,” said Xia Chen. Before Gu Lang left, he turned and waved goodbye to Lin Yuan.
Xia Chen’s gaze softened once they left the Radiant Moon Palace, and he said to Gu Lang, “Junior Brother, do you remember the exclusive ability that my Golden Thearch Bamboo gained when it evolved to Myth Breed?
“My Golden Thearch Bamboo has reached pinnacle Myth III and will evolve to Creation Breed soon. At that time, it will gain an exclusive ability that allows it to come back to life after the Trial of World Creation. This means that the revived Golden Thearch Bamboo can erase all links with me. Master gave away your Golden Thearch Bamboo, so I shall give mine to you.”
Gu Lang anxiously shook his head and grabbed Xia Chen’s sleeve as he shouted, “Senior Brother, you can’t! I won’t accept your Golden Thearch Bamboo. If you go ahead with it, I shall quit the Creation Master profession.”
As Gu Lang’s Senior Brother, Xia Chen was considerate toward him.
The Bamboo Monarch had been so busy with his significant other that Xia Chen had basically been the one to raise Gu Lang. Gu Lang was well-aware of how much Xia Chen took care of him.
Just because Gu Lang basked in his Senior Brother’s affection did not mean that he would allow his Senior Brother to sacrifice himself to help him.
Xia Chen sighed softly.
Gu Lang was more talented than him, but he was unable to advance any further as a Creation Master because he did not have the Golden Thearch Bamboo.
Xia Chen’s sigh was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with frustration.
Cold Moon who happened to be returning to the Radiant Moon Palace heard Xia Chen’s sigh and pursed her lips.
Is the Bamboo Monarch’s first disciple sighing because the Bamboo Monarch is always making people worry about him?
Cold Moon agreed that the Bamboo Monarch was always a source for worry. He was still wrapped up by romance at his age. It would be better if he remained single like her.
Whoever dared to woo Cold Moon would be playing hard and fast with their life. She would break their legs and ensure they were confined to a wheelchair for the rest of their lives.
Back at the Radiant Moon Palace’s inner palace…
Lin Yuan took the basket out of the Diamond fey storage box and said, “Master, here are the crab dumplings that Liu Jie made this morning. They’re still warm!”
The Moon Empress replied with a smile, “This will be perfect as an afternoon snack. I will make Honeyed Lotus Pond Carp for you this afternoon. I learned how to make it from Cold Moon.”
Mystic Moon dared not say what he was thinking
Moon Empress, is it really the best idea for you to always cook for the Young Lord? Your cooking is edible, but it’s far from delicious. Honeyed Lotus Pond Carp? Are you planning on cooking the Spirit Siphon Goldfis.h.!.+?
