As Zheng Ya walked out of the main gate of Princess Wu's mansion, he was met by the two chief eunuchs, De Quan and De Zhu, who were blocking his way from the left and right, respectively, as they were confronting Liu Qingyun at the gate.
Before the three could speak, Liu Qingyun coldly snorted at Dequan and Dezhu, "The two stewards pushed and shoved outside, damaging the dignity of His Majesties, and deliberately framing Princess Wu is unrighteous and immoral..."
"Soul-Severing Fairy, how dare you slander me?" Dezhu pushed Dequan aside in shock and anger, turned around, raised his delicate fingers, and angrily confronted Liu Qingyun.
She let out a loud, raspy voice that sent chills down Zheng Ya's spine.
Dequan was pushed away by Dezhu and took three big steps back before he regained his balance. He angrily said, "Grand Steward Dezhu, relying on the Emperor Emeritus's favor, you commit violence in public."
He had no respect for Princess Wu at all…
"Shut up! If you have Princess Wu in your eyes, why don't you go to the Princess's residence?" Seeing that Liu Qingyun ignored him, Dezhu turned to Dequan in anger and scolded him.
The two arrived in haste, arguing over who would keep the medicinal herbs from Zheng Ya for their respective masters. They continued until they reached the gates of the Princess's mansion, where they used their power to intimidate each other, neither willing to yield.
Eyes and spies were hidden among the crowd on the street, watching the two of them act silly, while others secretly took action.
Liu Qingyun frowned and interjected, "The two are of extraordinary status, and it is already a fact that they have forced Princess Wu to hand over Fu Ya."
The princess reveres both emperors and has now dismissed Fu Ya from the palace; her loyalty is as clear as day.
If you two are still not satisfied, and are determined to cause trouble in front of the Princess's residence and smear her reputation..."
"You flatter me, my lady. Please, Viscount Fu, come and have a chat. Farewell!" Dezhu bowed and took his leave, then gestured respectfully to Zheng Ya.
Dequan snorted and did as he was told, leading Zheng Ya away from his left and right, which put Zheng Ya in a difficult position: "You two have come to visit despite the wind and snow, showing your sincere sincerity."
It is an honor for me, and I am very grateful for the favor shown by His Majesty.
However, the intentions of your two lords' visit are quite perplexing. To besiege Princess Wu's residence is to force someone into doing something against their will. May I ask what your purpose is?
“Ahem, we are here on the Emperor’s orders to make a deal with Viscount Fu. It would be inappropriate to barge into Princess Wu’s residence without permission…” Dezhu told the truth, but Dequan interrupted, “Are you worried that people will misunderstand and think the Emperor supports Princess Wu…”
"Dequan, you speak recklessly, trying to guess the Emperor's intentions, and committing insubordination. What is your punishment?" Dezhu angrily rebuked. Dequan was about to retort when Liu Qingyun angrily said, "Are you two ever going to stop?"
If you were to enter the manor, Princess Wu would naturally be honored to welcome you both.
If you cause trouble and put Princess Wu in an unjust position, you will anger her and cause bloodshed.
Why are you two not leaving?
"Alright, all of you, stop arguing, lest you become a laughingstock." Zheng Ya said as he walked towards the center of the street. Liu Qingyun sneered, "Kid, you're smart enough to be pleasing to the eye. As for your safety, I'll keep you safe."
"Thank you for your trouble. This bottle of potion might be useful to you. Consider it a small token of my gratitude. Please don't find it offensive." Zheng Ya tossed a bottle of red potion, a gene potion, to her without turning his head.
It's just a bottle of basic gene potion, but it has miraculous effects in improving human cell regeneration, healing hidden injuries, and repairing fundamental damage.
However, the effects of basic gene potions are limited; they can only stimulate the potential of ordinary people's bodies and transform them.
For those with supernatural abilities, martial artists, and cultivators suffering from hidden injuries, intermediate-level gene potions are needed.
Advanced gene potions can help people awaken supernatural abilities, equivalent to a cultivator regenerating their spiritual roots, increasing the success rate by about 60%.
The gene potion's efficacy is entirely due to Zheng Ya's use of a thousand-year-old quality elixir, combined with the essence and blood of a superhuman, and accelerated preparation through a superhuman mini-world.
Zheng Ya's initial motivation for researching gene potions was to develop supernatural abilities and spiritual techniques.
Analyzing the genetic code of human cells can help us better develop superpowers.
Later, Xu Huizhen, Chen Xueru, and others envied Xu Qi and his friends for having supernatural abilities and cultivating, so they pestered Xu Qi and persuaded Zheng Ya to help them awaken their supernatural abilities.
The national team venturing into the Star Ocean region is struggling to find ideal candidates.
Ordinary people are either intelligent but physically weak, or physically strong but academically incompetent.
If we want to select individuals who are academically excellent, politically sound, and physically strong to become part of the Xinghai expedition, we can only find a handful of people by having Zheng Ya plan and cultivate batches of outstanding talents.
As a result, pressure from both his superiors and family members became unbearable for Zheng Ya, leading to the development of the gene-enhancing drug.
Of course, the intermediate and advanced gene potions have not yet been released. Zheng Ya left a backup plan for his family, built the Psionic Star, and planned for the future.
At this moment, Zheng Ya threw out a basic gene potion to pave the way. Liu Qingyun raised her hand to catch the red potion that flew through the wind and snow and landed in front of her, and asked: "May I ask, Viscount Fu, how effective is this medicine?"
"This medicine has a miraculous effect on repairing damage to the foundation..." Zheng Ya stopped in the middle of the street, turned around and smiled. Dequan and Dezhu walked to his side, both of them were shocked and trembled with excitement.
The crowds gathered at both ends of the street began to stir, and many of them ran away.
This single stone stirred up a thousand ripples. Liu Qingyun anxiously warned, "I am ashamed to accept the medicine bestowed by Viscount Fu. I will do everything in my power to protect you!"
"Thank you, but unfortunately I only have this kind of basic spiritual root repair fluid. The intermediate and advanced spiritual root repair fluids are the foundation of the immortal sects, and I have never seen them before. I can only help you so much!" Zheng Ya took the opportunity to advertise and establish his persona.
Seeing that many people on the street were staring at the spiritual root repair liquid in her hand, Liu Qingyun immediately unscrewed the cap and drank it. Instantly, she felt hot all over, and her wrinkled oval face peeled off a layer of skin in a minute, returning to her stunning appearance of a woman in her thirties.
"Heavens! How is this possible?" Dezhu exclaimed in surprise. Dequan sneered, "Viscount Fu made it clear beforehand that the effects of this kind of basic spiritual root repair fluid are limited and may not be enough to completely cure the Emperor's foundational damage..."
"Hmph," Dezhu snorted coldly, turned around, ignoring the gasps of the onlookers in the street, and bowed to Zheng Ya, saying, "Viscount Fu, the Emperor has sent me to exchange for a spiritual medicine with you, and I have prepared 180,000 crystals..."
“Viscount Fu, His Majesty has prepared a million crystals to exchange for spiritual medicine…” Dequan hurriedly bowed and scrambled for it. Zheng Ya saw the two staring at each other with wide eyes, looking like they were about to kill each other, and raised his hand to stop them: “Alright, I only have five bottles of spiritual root repair liquid on hand.”
The Qian Yuan Immortal Sect produces ten bottles per month.
Each bottle of Spirit Root Repair Liquid is priced at 100,000 low-grade crystals, no bargaining.
You two handle this as you see fit, don't put me in a difficult position!
"Viscount Fu, you are so generous! The Emperor requests three bottles of Spirit Root Repair Liquid!" Dezhu didn't have enough crystals on hand, so to avoid angering Zheng Ya, he simply offered them up.
Dequan sneered, "You don't have enough crystals in your hand..."
"Dequan, the viscount Fu, a member of the immortal sect, does not compete with the world for profit, nor does he get involved in unrelated karma, which would hinder his cultivation."
Viscount Fu's act of entering the mortal world to cultivate and sell elixirs to His Majesty demonstrates his unwavering support for the Great Li Dynasty.
"You lackey, how dare you take this opportunity to cause trouble and make people misunderstand that the two emperors are at odds? What are your intentions?" Dezhu angrily rebuked. Dequan, feeling aggrieved, made up the difference in crystals for him, bought the remaining two bottles of gene potion from Zheng Ya, and left indignantly.
Zheng Ya chuckled as he stored the 500,000 crystals into his supernatural small world, which burst forth with a dazzling light. The 500,000 crystals couldn't disappear; they were useless fertilizer!
