In the chapter, the celestial being was not as expected!
After several days without rest, while Yang Dou was controlling the treasure ship, Chen Anlin gave each of Zhou Tong and Su Menghan a drop of spiritual liquid to aid in their cultivation. He also took a drop for himself, delving into his own training while reviewing the gains from this venture.
In addition to what he had personally harvested, he had acquired a wealth of items from the numerous people he had defeated. The variety of spiritual herbs collected was extensive, amounting to nearly a hundred plants in total. However, their ages were not particularly high.
But that was of little concern. Within his spatial ring, he had already stored a vast expanse of land!
Chen Anlin entered the spatial ring with his consciousness and began planting all the spiritual herbs inside it. "Bai Yu, from now on, these spiritual herbs will be under your care. You need to perform well; understand?" he instructed.
Bai Yu's lips twitched; she never imagined that one day she would become someone else's gardener despite being a celestial being. Was this really her fate?
Though she felt a myriad of grievances within her heart, she dared not show them. "Can you give me a drop of blood? It’s quite tiring working like this," she said.
"Here." Chen Anlin flicked his fingers, and a drop of blood flew out. "I’ll give you the blood, but you must take care of the spiritual herbs!"
"Don't worry." Bai Yu replied cheerfully as she began tending to the spiritual herbs with enthusiasm.
By the way, what exactly is this spatial ring that even allows for planting spiritual plants? Chen Anlin observed Bai Yu's method of planting the herbs, silently taking notes in his mind.
Through his observations, he noticed that Bai Yu's technique for planting spiritual herbs was vastly different from anything he had seen before.
After the explanation from the White Jade Fairy, he learned that this was a type of spiritual planting technique unique to the cultivation world, quite different from the planting methods in his martial arts realm. The White Jade Fairy then began to elaborate on the origins of the spatial ring.
Even in the cultivation world, this spatial ring was a one-of-a-kind artifact. The storage devices in the cultivation realm were not much different from those in the martial arts world; they merely had larger storage capacities and better preservation capabilities. There were simply no devices like the spatial ring that could facilitate planting!
This spatial ring was a top-tier artifact crafted by the sect of the White Jade Fairy. Originally, she had been involved in planting spiritual herbs, and now it seemed she was returning to her roots.
Understanding all this, Chen Anlin exited the space and glanced at his fortune value. It was currently at a low point. He decided to nurture the Shield Jade first, as its energy had been completely depleted this time.
Sitting cross-legged in the cabin, he began to channel his soul power into the Shield Jade resting in his palm.
Three days later, the treasure ship arrived at the outskirts of the capital. Su Menghan and Zhou Tong returned first, while Chen Anlin took Yu Xiaoling and Yang Dou to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
Outside the palace, just as Yang Dou was about to enter, Chen Anlin suddenly tugged at her back. Perhaps it was too sudden; Yang Dou was wearing thin clothing, and he inadvertently pulled on the strap of her undergarment.
The air fell silent for a moment.
"Cough, Dou'er Jie, I didn’t mean to do that. Do you believe me?"
Yang Dou turned around and shot him a glare. However, seeing Chen Anlin's innocent expression softened her heart. "I believe you, you big-headed ghost."
"It really wasn’t intentional. Actually, I wanted to give you something."
Chen Anlin quietly took out ten spirit stones. "Dou'er Jie, even though neither of us can absorb the spirit energy from these stones, I’ve heard that just carrying them can extend one’s lifespan and enhance beauty. So I’m giving these ten to you."
At that moment, Yang Dou’s eyes revealed a hint of desire as she looked at the spirit stones.
Chen Anlin's claims about the effects of spirit stones were indeed true. The spiritual energy absorbed by people could extend life, enhance beauty, and even render one immune to a hundred poisons! Although they could not absorb it themselves, having it nearby was still effective for mortals. Otherwise, why would those martial artists fight over spirit stones?
However, Yang Dou shook her head in refusal. "Xiao Anzi, you know how I feel about you, but this is too precious. I'm just a personal guard to His Majesty."
"Sister Dou'er, in my eyes, you are not just a guard; you are my sister by another mother. You protected me before, and now it's my turn to protect you." Chen Anlin said firmly as he pushed the spirit stone toward Yang Dou.
Yang Dou felt a warm sensation in her heart, realizing that having Chen Anlin as her brother was quite nice. "Then I'll take a little less."
"Sister Dou'er, just take it. If you refuse again, I might have to act out of line!" Chen Anlin said with a playful grin as he looked up and down at Yang Dou's graceful figure.
"You little rascal, always picking on your sister Dou'er," Yang Dou replied, her cheeks flushed like ripe persimmons. She worried that Chen Anlin's words were becoming bolder right outside the palace gates, so she reluctantly accepted the spirit stone.
The moment she held it, a wave of spiritual energy swept over her body, leaving her feeling refreshed and invigorated.
In the royal garden behind the palace, a purple figure stood by the lotus pond, where a group of fish eagerly pecked at the Empress's delicate feet. Wu Xixue suddenly opened her eyes upon sensing Chen Anlin and Yang Dou's arrival. "How interesting; you've even brought me a fish demon," she remarked, referring to the fish spirit following Chen Anlin closely.
