Chapter 843: Heavenly Dew Incense Tree (Part 1)

Kenny Lin gave him a half-smile. "Then what do you suggest, Nephew Qing? What should I ask for instead?"

Sect Leader Qing thought for a moment. "City Lord Yun hasn’t returned yet. He’s still at the devil Battlefield, just like City Lord Wang. Junior Master Uncle, do you know where they are now?"

"How can I know?" Kenny Lin countered.

Sect Leader Qing’s mouth twitched again—he was just trying to build up some tension. "They’re at Silent Echo Valley."

"What are they doing at Silent Echo Valley?" Kenny Lin narrowed his eyes.

"There have been sightings of Pixiu near Silent Echo Valley, so many factions have gathered forces and entered the devil battlefield to go there. They likely won’t return for two or three months," Sect Leader Qing explained.

Amalia, listening to their conversation, realized this information aligned with what Sehyun Wang had told them earlier.

"Sect Leader Qing, is Pixiu that powerful? Why are all the major factions risking danger to go to Silent Echo Valley?"

"Pixiu can devour anything. In fact, it’s more appropriate to call it Nine Heaven Pixiu. Its overly defiant power is likely what led to its near extinction. In ancient times, Pixiu was at its peak, with numbers reaching into the tens of thousands. However, it faced a catastrophic disaster. Even now, many cultivators don’t even remember its original name. The current Pixiu is likely a hybrid of Nine Heaven Pixiu and other demonic beasts. Though it’s not a pure Nine Heaven Pixiu, it is still incredibly powerful."

"In ancient times, Nine Heaven Pixiu was a divine beast commanding all others. Even a Pixiu with just a trace of Nien Heaven Pixiu bloodline, if tamed, could one day become a king commanding the Demonic Beast Realm."

Sect Leader Qing’s explanation was far more detailed than that of Senior Tian Wuya, and Amalia immediately understood.

Senior Tian Wuya had mentioned that Wealth had the bloodline of Pixiu, which likely came from a very diluted bloodline of Nine Heaven Pixiu.

Even so, she resolved to never let a fifth person know that Wealth was a descendant of Pixiu.

Master Lian had probably already seen through it but chose not to mention it.

"Sect Leader, did the Green Lotus Sect also send people to Silent Echo Valley to compete for Pixiu?" Amalia asked.

Sect Leader Qing explained, "The Green Lotus Sect doesn’t care about obtaining Pixiu; it’s more to prevent it from falling into the hands of those with ill intentions, including devils."

"Devils are sending large teams to Silent Echo Valley as well?" Amalia immediately inquired.

"Yes, and they have sent even more than the humans," Sect Leader Qing nodded.

This didn’t surprise Amalia; after all, Silent Echo Valley was in the devil battlefield, and the devils would likely discover Pixiu’s tracks before human cultivators.

"So, Sect Leader, does that mean we should change the bargain with the news about Silent Echo Valley?" Amalia speculated, thinking Master Lian might have revealed something about Wealth to Sect Leader Qing.

Unexpectedly, Sect Leader Qing shook his head, "The Yun family actually has a tree called the Heavenly Dew Incense Tree..."

Amalia’s eyes widened slightly, "Are you referring to the Heavenly Dew Incense Tree that only secretes ten drops of Heavenly Dew every hundred years?"

"That’s right. I didn’t expect Martial Aunt to have heard of this tree as well. The Heavenly Dew has an extremely strong attraction for demonic beasts; just a few drops can drive the demonic beasts that smell it crazy, nearly causing them to lose their minds. This time, City Lord Yun used this tactic to severely injure the City Lord of Skyward City," Sect Leader Qing nodded.

"Then has Pixiu been captured by them?" Amalia hurriedly asked.

"Not yet. Pixiu has the bloodline of Nine Heaven Pixiu, so it won’t be that easy. However, if we don’t find a way to deal with it, it’s only a matter of time," Sect Leader Qing replied.

City Lord Yun is very ambitious, and Sect Leader Qing did not want Pixiu to fall into his hands.

"What does Sect Leader want us to do?" Amalia quickly grasped the situation and asked.

Sect Leader Qing felt very pleased; it was much better to talk with Amalia.

Discussing these matters with Kenny Lin always felt like going in circles.

"City Lord Yun keeps the Heavenly Dew Incense Tree very secret, and I hope the two of you can request ten drops of the Heavenly Dew," Sect Leader Qing stated.

Amalia pondered for a moment, "So you had a plan all along, Sect Leader Qing."

Sect Leader Qing chuckled, "Martial Aunt thinks too highly of me; I only thought of this on the spot."

Amalia believed he had no need to deceive her. "Sect Leader is trying to take this opportunity to figure out the location of the Heavenly Dew Incense Tree. But what if they have a stockpile? Wouldn’t your plan fall through?"

"Please don’t worry about this, Martial Aunt. Before I brought this up, I calculated that all the Heavenly Dew in City Lord Yun’s mansion had already been taken away by him. They will definitely need to go to the Heavenly Dew Incense Tree to collect more."

"Ten drops, perhaps, is also a test from Sect Leader for City Lord Yun’s mansion," Amalia said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Qing smiled and remarked, "Martial Aunt truly is exceptionally insightful."

The Heavenly Dew Incense Tree only secretes ten drops every hundred years.

Since City Lord Yun has taken all the existing Heavenly Dew, the likelihood of the tree producing another ten drops is nearly zero.

Sect Leader Qing asked Hana Yun to provide ten drops of Heavenly Dew as compensation, a demand that is virtually impossible to fulfill.

By negotiating, they could not only discover the location of the Heavenly Dew Incense Tree but also learn how much Heavenly Dew City Lord Yun had left in his possession.

The next opportunity to obtain more would be in a hundred years unless they were willing to invest heavily in top-grade spirit stones to accelerate its growth.
