Chapter 287: Immortal Master
Han Li, being a foundation establishment stage cultivator, naturally wouldn’t pay much attention to a mortal’s pill. But at this moment, of course, he couldn’t refuse the other party’s kindness. Wearing a slightly embarrassed expression, he hesitated but accepted it.
“Haha, Han’s honorable nephew! These Heart Protection Pills are Brother Hua’s secret recipe, rarely given away so easily. Today, bringing them out as a gift to mark our meeting is really quite generous!” Qin Yan knew Han Li wouldn’t take the pill seriously, but still praised his good friend’s generosity, hoping that the Hua elder would leave a good impression in Han Li’s mind.
The elder looked at Qin Yan with some puzzlement, unsure what he meant by saying this in front of Han Li.
He was giving such a precious pill to this young man purely out of respect for Qin Yan! Otherwise, this pill would be worth a fortune—how could he give it to a complete stranger they just met?
Just as the elder was about to ask a few questions in confusion, a sharp voice rang out.
“Prince Xin has arrived!”
The servant’s announcement immediately silenced the noisy hall. Everyone turned solemnly toward the side entrance of the hall.
Four maidservants first emerged from the side door, standing respectively on either side of the main seat. Then, a man and a woman walked out calmly.
The man was a middle-aged person in his forties, sporting a short beard about several inches long. His face was square and dignified, his tiger-like eyes radiating an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger. The woman was an exceptionally beautiful young lady of about twenty-three or twenty-four, dressed in palace attire with a floor-length dress.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone who had been seated stood up and respectfully greeted the couple.
“Greetings, Prince, and Madam!”
Since this young lady was not Prince Xin’s official wife but a favored concubine, everyone could only address her as Madam.
“You’re all my friends, so no need to be so formal. Come, please sit down,” said Prince Xin.
Despite his appearance, the prince’s tone was straightforward and easygoing, instantly winning people’s goodwill. The favored concubine merely smiled alluringly but said nothing.
After exchanging glances and smiles, the others followed his instruction and sat down.
“I’m a straightforward man, so whatever is on my mind, I’ll just say it!” Prince Xin said with a smile once he settled into his seat.
His words immediately stirred a buzz among the people opposite.
“Prince, please speak freely.”
“Yes, we’ve been acquainted for many years. We all know your temperament well.”
...
Clearly, some were speaking from the heart, while others were flattering the prince.
“This gathering today is partly to celebrate my beloved Qing’er’s strange illness finally being cured. Given my nature, of course I want to celebrate noisily! Secondly, I have a great favor to offer you all. Whether you get this opportunity depends on your own fortune,” Prince Xin said, surprising everyone.
The guests exchanged looks in disbelief.
For the prince to summon them all here with the intent to give them benefits—it was almost unbelievable!
“Hehe, Qing’er, see? Everyone’s reaction is just as I guessed: quite surprised!” Prince Xin said with a smile, turning to the beautiful concubine beside him.
The lady called Qing’er giggled softly and replied in a coquettish voice, “Prince, anyone hearing this would naturally be shocked! Their reactions are perfectly normal.”
Prince Xin chuckled, stroked his short beard, and turned back to the somewhat awkward crowd to explain.
“No need for suspicion! The truth is, Qing’er’s strange illness was cured by a high expert recently arrived at my mansion. This expert can summon wind and rain, swallow fire and spit ice—a true immortal master. After curing Qing’er, this immortal master immediately saw that my young son has an immortal root and the ability to comprehend immortal arts. So he took my son as his disciple. Soon, my son will go with him to cultivate the immortal path.”
