Nangong Yijian, Lü Chunyang, and Feng Qingyan all turned their gazes toward the white-robed scholar.
"Your Majesty, this should be Duanmu Yuan, the newly appointed third-ranked scholar of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty!"
"This person is known throughout the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty for his love of making friends."
"He likes to make friends with everyone, from princes to commoners."
Lu Chunyang transmitted his voice to Li Jing and the others, saying, "By the way, this person has another identity. He is the grandson of Duanmu Qing, the Minister of Personnel of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty."
"The grandson of the Minister of Personnel of the Eastern Emperor's Dynasty?"
Li Jing's face showed a look of great interest. In that case, this Duanmu Yuan was also a top nobleman's son of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, and could be considered a true member of the red family.
"I hope you fellow Daoists will forgive Duanmu Yuan for coming uninvited."
Duanmu Yuan held up the fruit basket in his hand and smiled warmly at Li Jing and the other three.
"Brother Duanmu, you're too kind."
Li Jing slowly stood up and extended his hand to Duanmu Yuan, inviting him, "Please."
He could tell at a glance that Duanmu Yuan's cultivation level was only the seventh level of True God Realm, Lesser Completion.
Given his cultivation level, it's clear that Duanmu Yuan's trip to Yunlong County in Hanhai Prefecture of Taishan Region wasn't for the Black Python King, but rather for a mid-grade or high-grade divine medicine.
Of course, there's another possibility: Duanmu Yuan just came to join in the fun.
After all, as the grandson of the Minister of Personnel of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, Duanmu Yuan probably has no shortage of mid-grade divine medicines.
As for top-grade divine medicines, the competition is too fierce, and even with Duanmu Yuan's cultivation level, he may not be qualified to compete for them.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Duanmu Yuan thanked him and walked into the courtyard. He placed the fruit basket on the stone table and said apologetically, "I heard from the waiter that four talented young men have moved into the neighboring courtyard, so I thought I'd come and get to know them."
I only bought some fruits on short notice, so the quality is a bit low. I hope you fellow cultivators can forgive me.
"The quality of these fruits is already quite good."
"Brother Duanmu, you've gone to so much trouble."
Li Jing smiled and said.
These fruits are not ordinary fruits from the mortal world, but true spiritual fruits.
A large bunch of purple jade pearl grapes, a low-grade divine medicine!
A jade crystal watermelon with a unicorn design, a low-grade divine medicine!
Four Purple Flower Dew-Gathering Fruits, a low-grade divine medicine!
Eight Xuanbing Ginseng Spirit Peaches, a low-grade divine medicine!
This fruit basket is quite valuable!
He now has a clear understanding of Duanmu Yuan's love for making friends.
Who wouldn't like someone who is so generous and lavish?
No wonder everyone from princes to commoners liked to be his friend.
It would be strange if someone like that didn't have friends all over the world.
“Normally in the capital, when I send out fruit baskets to heroes like you four, they always contain at least mid-grade divine medicine.”
"It's just that this Meteor Dragon County is too remote. There aren't even any mid-grade divine medicine-level fruits and vegetables. I could only buy this much fruit and vegetables in the Nine Heavens Treasure Pavilion."
Duanmu Yuan said with a regretful expression, "If any of you fellow Daoists ever come to the capital, you must come and find me, Duanmu Yuan."
I will certainly host a welcoming banquet for all of you fellow Daoists.
"..."
Big spender!
Li Jing's eyes narrowed. Sure enough, he had guessed that someone like Duanmu Yuan probably didn't lack mid-grade or high-grade divine medicines.
Unexpectedly, they directly gave me a mid-grade divine medicine as a gift.
Enough said. Once we get to the capital of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, we must find Duanmu Yuan!
Nangong Yijian and Lü Chunyang looked at Duanmu Yuan with renewed enthusiasm. What could they do? Who didn't like this kind of rich and powerful man?
"..."
Young master is right, we really need to get out and about, otherwise we wouldn't know that there are such scoundrels in the world.
Feng Qingyan felt like she had learned something new.
Within the Chaotic Heaven Sword Pavilion, even low-grade divine medicines are considered extremely precious.
Mid-grade divine medicines are extremely rare.
Even for a goddess like her from the Chaotic Heaven Sword Pavilion, obtaining a mid-grade divine herb is no easy task.
As a result, in the eyes of Duanmu Yuan, the grandson of the Minister of Personnel of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty and a newly appointed third-ranked scholar, the mid-grade divine medicine was just like ordinary fruit.
"By the way, fellow Daoists, I haven't yet asked your names."
Suddenly remembering something, Duanmu Yuan cupped his hands in greeting to Li Jing and the other three, and said...
"Li Jing".
Li Jing returned the greeting to Duanmu Yuan and said.
"Nangong Yijian".
"Lü Chunyang".
"Yan Qingfeng".
Nangong Yijian and the others spoke up one after another.
Feng Qingyan originally wanted to reveal her real name, but after thinking about it, she gave a pseudonym instead.
After all, as the goddess of the Chaotic Heaven Sword Pavilion, the number one sect in the Chaotic Heaven Domain, she should be well-known even in the Eastern Heaven Dynasty.
If I were to reveal my real name, it could very well cause the young master unnecessary trouble.
"A good name."
"The names of Brother Li and the other three are all auspicious names!"
Duanmu Yuan said with a look of agreement.
"Brother Duanmu, please have a seat."
Li Jing extended an invitation to Duanmu Yuan.
"Brother Li, please; fellow Daoists, please."
Duanmu Yuan said in a gentle and refined manner.
Li Jing smiled and sat down in his original spot.
Seeing that Nangong Yijian and the other two had not sat down, Duanmu Yuan asked in confusion, "Brother Nangong, Brother Lü, Miss Yan, why don't you sit down?"
"Brother Duanmu, you don't need to pay them any mind. They are all my guards and maids."
Li Jing said calmly.
"..."
Duanmu Yuan looked at Nangong Yijian and the other two with a look of astonishment on his face.
