Upon hearing Gao Yan's words, a dark look flashed in Sang Sang's eyes, and she asked, "Young Master Gao, how can you be sure that the assassin was sent by Zhan Taiba?"
Although Gao Yan's analysis made some sense, she was not so easily fooled. Zhan Taiba was, after all, a powerful expert at the seventh level of the Great Luo Realm. If he wanted to send someone to assassinate Gao Yan, how could he not take precautions to prevent the assassin from leaking information?
Gao said, "I have a special treasure that can control beings of the same realm as me. I used that treasure to control the assassin who tried to kill me, and I also learned about Zhan Taiba's identity from him!"
"What about the assassin?" Sangsang asked again.
"Here!"
Gao Yan waved his hand and released An Qi from the small world.
“People can lie, but memories don’t lie. If you don’t believe me, Lady Sangsang, you can check his memories directly!” Gao Yan said with a smile.
"Alright, let me check his memories first!"
With a flick of her finger, Sang Sang sent a purple rune into An Qi's brow.
A few breaths later, the rune floated out from between An Qi's eyebrows again, but Sang Sang took it back. She nodded to Gao Yan: "This person is indeed a death squad trained by Zhan Tai Ba. I will report to the Palace Master truthfully after we return to Yaochi Heavenly Palace!"
"Then thank you very much, Lady Sangsang!"
Gao Yan said gratefully.
"No need to be polite, it's all my duty."
Sangsang waved her hand: "By the way, have you thought about your requirements?"
"I've made up my mind. If Princess Lingluo wants to thank me, she should give me some immortal stones!" Gao Yan said.
"Fairy Stone?"
Sangsang was somewhat surprised, not expecting Gao Yan to make such a request, because in the eyes of a powerful expert like her, immortal stones were really not worth mentioning!
"Young Master Gao, are you sure you only want the immortal stones?"
Gao Yan nodded: "I'm sure. I have a peculiar hobby: I like to collect a lot of immortal stones!"
After thinking for a moment, Sangsang decided to try to persuade him: "Young Master Gao, you could try a different offer. For example, you could join our Yaochi Heavenly Palace. You were able to save Princess Lingluo by chance, and once you join the Yaochi Heavenly Palace, you're sure to have a bright future!"
"I appreciate Lord Sangsang's kindness, but I still only want the immortal stones!" Gao Yan said.
"Oh well!"
Sangsang said helplessly, "I don't have many immortal stones on me. Here's what I'll do: I'll arrange for someone to send you a batch of immortal stones when I return to the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace!"
"Haha, thank you very much, Lady Sangsang!"
"Oh, by the way, this is a gift that Princess Lingluo asked me to bring to you!"
At this moment, Sangsang took out a jade box and handed it to Gao Yan.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Gao Yan reached out and took the jade box.
After seeing Sangsang off, Gao Yan opened the jade box and found a golden peach inside!
Insight activated.
The information about the golden peach appeared in his mind.
This golden peach is called the Jade Pool Immortal Peach, a specialty of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. It has the function of nourishing the immortal soul and increasing the rank of the immortal body. After consuming this Jade Pool Immortal Peach, one can achieve a ninth-rank immortal body.
It can directly advance one's immortal body to the seventh rank.
However, it has no effect on immortals of grade six or above.
As for Gao Yan, he already possesses a first-grade immortal body, so consuming this product will only nourish his immortal soul.
Suddenly, Gao Yan had a thought: he wondered if his spiritual herb planting space could grow the Jade Pool Immortal Peach. So, he ate the Jade Pool Immortal Peach in a few bites and put the pit into his spiritual herb planting space to plant it.
It is indeed possible to grow it.
However, according to the progress provided by the medicinal herb cultivation space, it will take five thousand years to mature.
Five thousand years is nothing to other immortals in the immortal realm, but Gao Yan felt it was too long.
Besides, five thousand years later, he would probably have become a King Immortal, and such a treasure would be within his grasp.
Putting his thoughts aside, Gao Yan got up and left the city lord's mansion, heading to the Dual Cultivation Pavilion to listen to music.
Whether his plan succeeds or not is not up to him.
Meanwhile, Sangsang rushed back to Yaochi Heavenly Palace as quickly as possible and went directly to meet the Palace Master of Yaochi.
"Palace Master!"
Sangsang bowed in greeting.
"Hmm!" The Palace Mistress of Yaochi Palace was a graceful and elegant woman. She responded calmly and continued to ask, "How is the matter progressing?"
Sangsang said, "Palace Master, Gao Yan is unwilling to come to Yaochi Heavenly Palace. Instead, he asked for a batch of immortal stones!"
"It's fine if you don't come!"
The Palace Mistress of Yaochi Palace didn't take this matter to heart. She only sent her personal maid to fulfill her youngest daughter's request. Now that the other party has refused, Lingluo probably has nothing to say!
"Since he wants immortal stones, send someone to deliver a batch. He is, by all accounts, Ling'er's savior, so send him three hundred million top-grade immortal stones!"
"Yes, Your Highness, I will make the arrangements shortly!"
Sang Sang accepted the order.
"Is there anything else?"
The Palace Mistress of Yaochi looked at Sangsang.
"Yes!" Sangsang then recounted how Gao Yan was assassinated, how the assassin was captured, and how she learned from Gao Yan's memories that the assassin was sent by Zhan Taiba.
"Why would Zhan Taiba send someone to assassinate him?" The Palace Mistress of Yaochi frowned.
"According to Gao Yan's analysis, could it be that someone deliberately leaked Princess Lingluo's whereabouts, which led to her being ambushed by the experts of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palace?" Sang Sang hinted cryptically.
"You mean Zhan Taiba might have leaked Ling'er's whereabouts?"
"This servant is merely relaying Gao Yan's speculation!"
As an elder of Yaochi Heavenly Palace, Zhan Taiba couldn't suspect the other party of being a traitor without any evidence.
"Someone come here!"
