Chapter 1467 - Chapter 1467 Chapter 1467 The Strange Old Man

Chapter 1467: Chapter 1467: The Strange Old Man Chapter 1467: Chapter 1467: The Strange Old Man He was well aware that if the other party was troublesome, it might take him some time to deal with them.

Though it wasn’t impossible, he would seize every opportunity.

Yet knowing that the person had no desire to meet with him, and that Jiang Xiaobai had no idea who they were or what they were capable of,

why would he waste his time on them without a guaranteed outcome?

In the worst-case scenario, he could give up and head straight for the immortal path, using all his merit to open it and race to the Earth Immortal realm.

There, opportunities abounded!

Just as Jiang Xiaobai turned to leave, the palace doors suddenly opened.

“Mr. Jiang, come in. I’ve prepared some hot tea for you,” a husky voice called out, causing Jiang Xiaobai to halt in his steps.

He glanced at the open doors and turned to enter.

Inside the palace, it was contrary to its opulent exterior, markedly plain. The entire great hall was painted in light white stone, with a tea table in the center, upon which sat a chessboard.

Beside the tea table sat an old man in a grey robe, his face obscured by a hood, with only his withered yellow hands visible as he poured tea.

“This jade pendant was left behind for the Tianji Pavilion years ago, to resolve some matters considered beyond solution. Who would have thought after all these years, it would come in handy?”

The elder smiled faintly: “Mr. Jiang, please sit. First drink a cup of tea to calm your mind, your heart is very tumultuous.”

For the elder’s presumptuous demeanor, Jiang Xiaobai did not indulge but stood still and said: “Senior, I’ve come to you to ask about…”

“Shh, have some tea first.”

The elder waved his hand to interrupt Jiang Xiaobai, served the tea, then sat motionless with his hands in his sleeves, cross-legged like he was deceased.

Jiang Xiaobai frowned, unable to discern the old man’s intentions.

His heart was indeed in turmoil, but as long as there was a solution, a clear path ahead, he wouldn’t be troubled!

Yet having come this far, and seeing that the elder seemed to know something, Jiang Xiaobai took a seat, reaching out to take the tea.

But then the elder slapped his hand away.

“Calm your heart, then drink.”

“This tea of mine cannot be drunk by those with a restless heart.”

Jiang Xiaobai grimaced, “Drinking tea comes with such stipulations. Senior, your place is nearly in ruins, do you truly have the luxury to care about this?”

“That’s why I am of a higher realm than you. Look, despite the splendor that once was, now only I am left, yet I can still sit here, tranquil, sipping tea. What does that prove?”

“That you’re simple-minded?”

“…”

Even the elder, who hadn’t experienced any change in mood for a million years, was left at a loss for words by Jiang Xiaobai’s retort.

While the elder was caught off-guard, Jiang Xiaobai already reached out and took hold of the teacup, but the elder did not block him this time.

“So, may I drink it then?”

Jiang Xiaobai asked tentatively.

The elder smiled lightly, remaining silent.

Jiang Xiaobai furrowed his brows in thought, then suddenly moved to gulp down the tea in one go, but to his surprise, the tea, despite reaching his lips, refused to enter his mouth!

At first, he suspected the elder was playing tricks, but feeling no fluctuation, he curiously inquired.

“Why can’t it be ingested?”

“This tea is called Heavenly Spirit Tea, brewed with the water of the sea of bitterness. Those with an unsettled mind and spirit cannot gulp it down.”

The elder smiled faintly, “Regardless of what you’re thinking, Mr. Jiang, since you’re here, take a moment to quiet down. Once you’re calm, your mood will naturally improve, and trouble is less likely to follow.”

“Only by steadying one’s heart, can one achieve great things.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai arched his eyebrows, ready to say something else, but found that the elder had already lowered his head, engrossed in the chess game on the board.

He glanced at it as well, this was an endgame chess position.

The black pieces had already covered half of the sky, enough to suppress all of the dragon energy of the BaiZi, which looked like a dead dragon firmly grasped in the hand of black pieces.

With but a breath, the life and death of the BaiZi could be decided!

In this game, the BaiZi had no chance of winning!

But for some reason, after looking at the chessboard and then at the elder, he felt his restless state of mind somewhat soothed.

And so, he too began to close his eyes to cultivate his spirit, settling his inner turmoil.

Within the grey robe, a smile appeared at the corner of the elder’s mouth.

“This lad is quite interesting, he can leave my formation at will, and can even bring out the Linglong Xiu Zhu Ba Ji Pan to break the formation…”

“He’s no ordinary fellow.”

The elder thought to himself but paid no further attention to these matters, instead focusing on the chessboard in front of him.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes and slowly picked up the teacup, taking a sip; the tea was still warm.

There was an indescribable fragrance upon entering the mouth, and after it reached his throat, his mind seemed to clear significantly.

As if his understanding of the heavenly dao had deepened!

He even felt that he had some insight into the laws of time, which had not progressed for a long time!

What kind of treasure was this?

To have such an effect?

“Have you calmed down?”

The elder suddenly spoke, smiling and said: “Since that’s the case, tell me, what do you plan to seek from me with this opportunity?”

Jiang Xiaobai thought for a moment and informed the elder of Ao Yan’s current situation.

“Senior, I don’t know your origins, but please, if there’s any news or even a sliver of hope, let me know!”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the elder with anticipation.

Having been through recent events, he could no longer see through this person; at the very least, he was a being from before the great changes a million years ago!

“Hmm… soul damage, with only the remnant soul left… that’s not too difficult.”

The elder suddenly said, igniting hope in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart!

Indeed, there were many methods in this world that were beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

Even a remnant soul could be easily restored!

“However, that was in the past… If you had come a bit earlier, say a million years ago, I could have easily revived your wife.”

Jiang Xiaobai’s face fell: “So elder, there’s no hope now?”

A million years ago?

He was joking; he didn’t even know where he was a million years ago!

“Of course, there is hope, but it is rather difficult. Right now, the most important thing is to protect your wife’s remnant soul from further damage. Otherwise, if it continues to deteriorate, even if it is restored, it will be greatly affected, and she may even lose all her memories.”

“Come, bring your wife here for me to see.”

Without hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai took out the crystal coffin where he placed Ao Yan. Seeing this, the elder’s mouth twitched.

“It’s not easy… In this era, for you to obtain so many treasures to protect the remnant soul, it’s really not easy…”

After glancing at Jiang Xiaobai, the elder stood up and walked over to Ao Yan for a closer examination, then he nodded slightly.

“It seems you started to remedy the situation as soon as the problem arose. The damage to her spirit is not significant, hardly any, but this is not a long-term solution.”

“I happen to know of an item that can protect your wife’s remnant soul, but to obtain it, you’ll have to pay a hefty price!”

The elder looked at Jiang Xiaobai with an ambiguous smile, and at that moment, Jiang Xiaobai finally saw his face clearly,

His eyes widened in shock!
