Hua Jin the True One ultimately managed to obtain the final piece of Celestial Jade Marrow.
The moment that Celestial Jade Marrow fell into her pocket, she nearly wept with joy.
"Congratulations, Your Eminence, congratulations!" Wang Shouyi repeatedly cupped his hands in salute, beaming with delight: "Our Kunlun Immortal Palace now has two pieces of premium Celestial Jade Marrow!"
"Fellow Daoist Hua Jin has encountered double blessings today!" Zhang Yibai wore a service-style smile, his face full of perfunctory expression.
This child really had it rough, getting this excited over snatching just two out of ten premium pieces.
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Hua Jin the True One's face brimmed with joy as she raised her eyebrows: "That I could obtain two pieces of premium Celestial Jade Marrow today is entirely thanks to the help of Senior Zhang, Senior Gu, and Senior Chen! I've decided to host a banquet right at the C Province Exorcist Division, and I ask that you esteemed seniors not disdain it."
Hua Jin truly regarded Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng as her own people, desperately afraid they might be captured as variables by those powerful beings...
So even though it wasn't entirely appropriate, she ultimately chose to hold the banquet at the C Province Exorcist Division.
Safety was the main priority.
"Speaking of which, what matter did Senior Chen go to handle? Hasn't he returned yet?" Hua Jin the True One looked around, a trace of worry appearing between her brows: "I hope he hasn't encountered any danger... And that pet of Senior Chen's is completely useless too, if you ask me, might as well heat up a pot with oil and cook it!"
Wu E, who was sulking at the edge of the basin, heard Hua Jin's voice and trembled, lowering his head.
In his heart, he had already cursed eighteen generations of Hua Jin the True One's ancestors.
"Fellow Daoist Hua Jin." Chen Huaian suddenly emerged from a remote corner, greeting her with a smile: "I heard Fellow Daoist Hua Jin managed to acquire two pieces of premium Celestial Jade Marrow too, congratulations! At least this trip wasn't made empty-handed!"
"Senior Chen's timing is perfect, I was just saying I wanted to host a banquet at the C Province Exorcist Division to entertain all of you..." Seeing that Chen Huaian bore no injuries, Hua Jin the True One's hanging heart finally settled, but then she glanced toward Muscle Tyrant's direction and said in a low voice:
"Senior, I noticed your pet seems rather undisciplined. Our Kunlun Immortal Palace has beast-taming methods passed down for thousands of years. Why not send your pet to our Kunlun Immortal Palace? We'll train it properly before returning it to you?"
Wu E: "..."
Seriously, this damn woman just won't let it go, will she?
Sensing Chen Huaian's gloomy gaze, he quickly flashed Chen Huaian an ingratiating smile.
Chen Huaian knew exactly what Wu E was thinking—this guy had developed greedy thoughts upon seeing the Celestial Jade Lion and had even ed it to another Demon Immortal's avatar. Unfortunately, they were using some kind of treasure, so he couldn't determine the specific location of the other Demon Immortal avatar based on the thoughts he overheard.
The only pity was that the Celestial Jade Lion had already been sent to the Cangyun Realm.
Even if these two Demon Immortal avatars dug three feet into the ground, they wouldn't be able to find the Celestial Jade Lion.
"This Venerable One's pet is usually quite undisciplined, but its temperament is actually not bad... There's really no need to specially send it to Kunlun Immortal Palace for training. This Venerable One will teach it a proper lesson myself."
Chen Huaian certainly couldn't send the evil entity that had possessed Muscle Tyrant to Kunlun Immortal Palace.
He still needed to listen to this evil entity's thoughts to uncover the other party's secrets.
If they were too far apart, he wouldn't be able to hear them anymore.
"Very well then." Hua Jin the True One didn't press further, instead taking out one piece of premium Celestial Jade Marrow, her face full of gratitude: "If not for the assistance of you three seniors today, it would have been very difficult for me to acquire two pieces of premium Celestial Jade Marrow. This one piece is for you three seniors to handle. Please don't stand on ceremony."
"This..." Chen Huaian looked at the Celestial Jade Marrow in Hua Jin the True One's hand.
A wave of guilt welled up from the depths of his heart.
They were truly beasts.
Out of ten premium Celestial Jade Marrows, they only left Hua Jin with two.
Even the Celestial Jade Lion that appeared had been snatched away to the Cangyun Realm.
"Fellow Daoist Hua Jin, one piece of premium Celestial Jade Marrow probably isn't enough for Kunlun Immortal Palace's use, is it?" Chen Huaian waved his hand in polite refusal: "You should keep this premium Celestial Jade Marrow for your own use."
"Aren't there still medium and low grade Celestial Jade Marrows?" Hua Jin the True One said indifferently: "The purple aura here hasn't dissipated, so more Celestial Jade Marrow will be produced later. It's just that the quality won't be as good...
Moreover, that mysterious female cultivator who took the premium Celestial Jade Marrow—I have my own methods to deduce her location. Once I know where that female cultivator is hiding, I'll just go retrieve the premium Celestial Jade Marrow."
Chen Huaian looked silently at the completely confident Hua Jin the True One.
Trying to deduce Li Qingran's location on Earth Star?
That was quite an ambitious idea...
"Fellow Daoist Hua Jin, we are essentially members of Kunlun Immortal Palace ourselves. There's no need to draw such clear distinctions." At this point, Zhang Yibai spoke up to persuade her: "This old man already has one piece of premium Celestial Jade Marrow himself. Old Chen can use it together with me.
Our respective forces—one Wind Spirit Sect, one Exorcist Division—are both small territories that don't require premium Celestial Jade Marrow. If we truly need it in the future, we can always ask you for it.
By drawing such clear distinctions, are you not treating Old Chen, Old Gu, and myself as your own people?"
Hearing this, Hua Jin the True One hurriedly said that wasn't the case.
In the end, she still didn't give away that piece of premium Celestial Jade Marrow.
However, the look in her eyes when she gazed at Chen Huaian and the others gained several more degrees of respect and gratitude.
In Hua Jin's view, being able to resist the temptation of a heavenly treasure like premium Celestial Jade Marrow meant that Chen Huaian, Zhang Yibai, and Gu Changsheng were already exceptional individuals in terms of character and temperament.
She admitted to herself that she couldn't do the same.
"To be able to interact with three seniors of such noble character is truly the fortune of this humble woman's entire life!"
Chen Huaian and Zhang Yibai blushed at the praise, feeling too embarrassed to continue dragging out this topic.
...
When Hua Jin the True One hosted the banquet.
Chen Huaian certainly had to show face.
At the C Province Exorcist Division, a temporarily cleared quiet room had been converted into a banquet hall.
There were no golden splendor carved beams or painted rafters, only several office desks pushed together.
A few exquisitely crafted glass lamps emitted soft halos of light, illuminating the delicacies on the plates that shimmered with spiritual energy.
The air was filled with the fresh fragrance of spiritual grains, the rich aroma of spiritual beast meat, and the unique crisp scent of several rare spiritual plants.
These glass lamps had been procured by Hua Jin the True One specifically to add an elegant atmosphere to the banquet.
But when combined with those makeshift office desks, it created a somewhat discordant effect.
Fortunately, the exquisite dishes and delicacies from Kunlun Immortal Palace were the real deal.
Chen Huaian sat cross-legged in the main guest position, leisurely picking up a slice of jade bamboo shoot as thin as a cicada's wing and nearly transparent, placing it in his mouth.
The bamboo shoot slice melted in his mouth, a pure sweetness of vegetation instantly spreading across his tongue, carrying a barely perceptible warm current of spiritual energy that smoothly slid down into his abdomen.
His eyes brightened slightly as he picked up another piece of unknown spiritual fowl meat with golden-red color and overflowing fragrance. The meat was tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection with just the right balance of saltiness and umami, carrying a hint of fruitwood smokiness.
The chefs in Cangyun Realm didn't have much concept of spices and seasonings, only using a handful of varieties.
And since cultivators had mostly achieved grain avoidance, even when they did eat, they kept it very simple.
Most of their energy was focused on cultivation, with little time to research gourmet food.
But Kunlun Immortal Palace was different.
These Ascenders knew how to use seasonings like soy sauce, salt, MSG, and oyster sauce.
Combined with spiritual grains and spiritual beast meat, this made the food they prepared much more flavorful.
Chen Huaian was already planning to pack several portions for Li Qingran to taste as well.
