Chapter 663 The show is over
The old man's eyes instantly became sharp. He flashed and stood in front of Luo Li. He swung the cane in his hand suddenly, and it collided with the dark blue spiritual power, bursting into dazzling sparks. The air around him was torn apart by this force, and the wind howled.
"Stop." Hailan Territory Lord said calmly. The shadow guard immediately stopped and turned around with a puzzled look, "Territory Lord..."
The Hailan Territory Lord glanced at him sideways and said, "I said, stop."
The shadow guard turned around immediately and said, "Yes!"
The old man in green robes, disguised as Bai Ze, flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Is this how guests are treated in the Canghai Region?"
The Hailan Territory Lord slowly stepped forward, his gaze deep as the abyss, as he looked at the old man in green robes. His tone was filled with unquestionable majesty and visible gentleness, "Don't misunderstand, sir. It's my men who are blind."
"The Canghai Region is not a place for impoliteness. Between you and me, why don't we practice harmony and sit down to discuss the truth?"
After saying this, he gently raised his hand, signaling the shadow guard to retreat.
The sleeves of the Hailan Domain Lord fluttered lightly, like clouds rolling and unrolling, and a faint fragrance of tea filled the air. He led the "old man in green robes" into a quiet stone pavilion.
On the stone table, a pot of hot tea is emitting steam, which is interwoven with the sound of bamboo leaves rustling around, forming a tranquil and far-reaching picture.
Bai Ze snorted coldly, pretending to be a worldly expert, and said coldly, "The Lord of Canghai Territory is very powerful. If I hadn't come, my two children would have died here."
Luo Li stood aside, laughing inwardly. Bai Ze looked quite capable.
Lord Hailan smiled slightly, with a calm and composed look on his face. He gently lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Bai Ze. The tea was as clear as amber, swaying gently in the exquisite porcelain cup.
He chuckled and said, "Your Excellency is too kind. These two young friends are honored guests of my Hailan Territory. How could I neglect them? This tea is called 'Yunyin'. I hope it can relieve you from the dust of your journey."
After saying this, he gently put down the teapot. The fragrance of tea and the freshness of bamboo leaves intertwined, and time seemed to slow down in the stone pavilion, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.
Bai Ze snorted lightly, but still picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. He did not forget that Luo Li asked her to hold it, but he still had to give this person some face.
He raised his eyes and went straight to the point, "The Territory Lord knows that I haven't walked the continent for a long time and have been living in seclusion. The Territory Lord invites me here in this way. What is the matter? Please tell me directly."
"Alright!" Hailan Territory Lord burst into laughter. "Your Excellency is indeed straightforward. I will speak frankly, too."
He looked at Bai Ze and said, "You are the soul-level alchemist who possesses the Mysterious True Water Law, right?"
Bai Ze said calmly, "I am indeed an alchemist, and I have indeed comprehended the Mysterious True Water. So the Territory Lord wants me to help him refine the elixir?"
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Hailan Domain. With a wave of his hand, an exquisite alchemy furnace emerged from the void. A faint blue light flowed through the furnace, like rippling water.
He answered the question irrelevantly, "What do you think of this alchemy furnace?"
Bai Ze glanced at it calmly, "The alchemy furnace made of soul crystals is not bad."
His reaction gave Lord Hailan some ideas in his mind. It seemed that this alchemist who lived in seclusion was not an ignorant person.
He smiled and said, "It seems that you are not interested."
Bai Ze curled his lips and said, "I already have an alchemy furnace, so you don't have to worry about it."
He stroked the surface of the cup. "There's no need to beat around the bush, Territory Lord. Just speak directly."
Upon hearing this, Hailan Territory Lord's eyes flashed. He slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked out at the vast sea of clouds in the distance. "Since you are so straightforward, I will speak frankly as well."
He sighed, his face filled with sorrow. "The seal of the Dark Realm within our domain has been loosening recently, and there seem to be signs of the seal breaking. I have gathered all the other treasures, but I still need a Soul-Calming Pill to stabilize it. Your Excellency possesses extraordinary strength. I hope you can use your alchemy skills to protect the peace of our Canghai Domain."
After saying that, he turned around and stared at Bai Ze. The room was silent, with only the whistling sound of the wind outside the window, as if it was also waiting for an answer.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes. It was such a high-sounding statement, but why did she always feel that something was wrong?
On the side, Qing Chihua silently transmitted the message, "Spirit Master, we have always sent people to guard the seals in the Canghai area. The seals are safe."
Luo Li also sneered, "I'm afraid he asked for this soul-calming pill for his good son."
Bai Ze pretended to think for two seconds, then stood up with a bang.
Hailan Territory Lord was startled and forced a smile, "What's wrong, sir?"
Bai Ze was touched. "I was a mean person, but I didn't expect the Lord of Hailan Territory to be such a gentleman! I will definitely help you!"
The Hailan Territory Lord's eyes moved, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, but his face remained righteous as he said, "Your Excellency is too kind."
He probed, "However, the recipe for the Soul-Calming Pill has been lost for a thousand years. Do you really know how to refine it?"
Bai Ze raised his lips to a mysterious smile, and tapped the table with his fingers, making a crisp sound.
He slowly stood up, his robes fluttering, like an immortal descending to earth. "Lord of the Hailan Territory, you don't know that everything in this world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. There is always a way to find a way."
"I once stumbled upon a fragment of an ancient tome in a secret realm. Although I haven't put it into practice, today, for your deep love and loyalty, I am willing to give it a try."
Luo Li on the side twitched her lips, the show was over.
The Lord of the Hailan Territory suddenly stood up and said solemnly, "Alright! If you can refine the Soul-Calming Pill, my Canghai Territory will reward you handsomely!"
Bai Ze waved his hand, "Since it's all for the Canghai Region, there's no need to express gratitude, but..."
Hailan Territory Lord paused, "But what?"
Bai Ze said with a distressed look on his face, "I came in a hurry, and there aren't many spiritual plants in my space ring. And the spiritual plants needed to refine the Soul-Calming Pill are all extremely precious."
He sighed and said seriously, "To be honest, if the spiritual plants needed for this Soul-Calming Pill weren't so precious, I would have tried to repair the remaining formula long ago."
The Hailan Territory Lord gritted his teeth and smiled, appearing very generous and saying, "How can I let you spend money? Come with me."
Walking to a dark room, he waved his hand, and the door of a glittering treasure house burst open. Inside was a dazzling array of spiritual plants, emitting a faint fluorescence, like a small world full of vitality.
He said in a deep voice, "My Canghai Region has a rich inventory. Please feel free to choose. We must ensure that the Soul-Calming Pill can be brought to the world and save the countless lives in my sea area."
Bai Ze curled his lips, his face full of emotion, "Thank you, Territory Lord. I won't be polite then."
He walked straight into the treasury and raided it without any hesitation.
Seeing the spiritual plants he took, Lord Hailan's heart almost bleeds.
He exhaled and tried to comfort himself: Fuhua still needed the Soul-Calming Pill to save her life, and even if he refined the Soul-Calming Pill, he couldn't leave!
Sooner or later, he will be able to get these things back from him!
Bai Ze was happy with what he had, winked at Luo Li, and strode out again, "Domain Lord, you won't think I took too much, will you?"
