Chapter 3097: The Poorest Ninth-Level Dao Venerable, Star Lords Return
Jin Lan tasted the tea brewed by Lin Moyu. After one sip, her eyes immediately lit up, "Good tea."
Lin Moyuâs tea came from the Third Ancestor. It was truly top-tier good tea.
Although not the absolute best, it could rank among the top few in the Origin Continent.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Since you like it, Great Elder should enjoy more."
Jin Lan didnât stand on ceremony, "Friend Linâs tea canât be found in our beast race. Naturally, I must taste more."
Although Jin Lan was female, her words and demeanor carried a heroic spirit. Her long-standing high position also gave her a noble aura.
Lin Moyu smiled, "With Great Elderâs status, if you want to drink good tea, surely you can get it?"
Jin Lan said, "If I really wanted to drink it, I could indeed get it, but itâs too troublesome. I hate trouble."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Whatâs troublesome about it? Just tell the Lu Feng Trading Company to deliver it, wouldnât that be fine?"
Jin Lan shook her head, "You donât know how ridiculous the prices of those good teas are in the Lu Feng Trading Company."
So it wasnât about trouble, but about price.
However, for a top ninth-level Dao Venerable powerhouse to be troubled by price was indeed a bit ridiculous.
Jin Lan looked at Lin Moyuâs expression, "You must be thinking, how can I, a ninth-level Dao Venerable, be concerned about price?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "Thatâs right. With your status and position, as long as you ask, or just go somewhere to get some materials, it would be enough to buy a lot of top-quality tea."
Jin Lan sighed, "Some things are hard to explain. Anyway, I have my difficulties."
Lin Moyu smiled, "If Great Elder doesnât mind, you can tell me about it."
Jin Lan said, "Actually, this isnât a secret. Many people know."
"When I was advancing to ninth-level Dao Venerable, something went wrong and I injured my foundation. Although I successfully advanced to ninth-level Dao Venerable, this injury has never fully healed. I need to take medicine long-term to suppress it."
Lin Moyu understood, "This medicine, itâs not cheap, is it?"
Jin Lan nodded, "Very expensive. Almost all my wealth is used to buy this medicine."
Medicine that could suppress a ninth-level Dao Venerableâs injury must be at least seventh-level Dao Venerable pills.
Whether materials, treasures, or pills, once they reach seventh-level Dao Venerable, their prices are never low.
If itâs eighth or ninth-level Dao Venerable, the price is even more terrifying.
Like the top-grade pill among ninth-level Dao Venerable pills, the Great Dao Longevity Pill, its price is incredibly shocking. Even the Third Ancestor would feel the pain.
Thereâs also the Great Dao Indestructible Pill. Although cheaper than the Great Dao Longevity Pill, itâs still frighteningly expensive.
Lin Moyu looked at Jin Lan, "What youâre taking, itâs not the Great Dao Longevity Pill, is it?"
Jin Lanâs eyes suddenly shot out golden light, "Friend Lin knows about the Great Dao Longevity Pill?"
Lin Moyu said, "Of course I know. Itâs a top-grade healing pill. Canât the Great Dao Longevity Pill cure your injury?"
Jin Lan sighed, "It can only suppress, not cure. I need to take one Great Dao Longevity Pill every ten years."
Given the value of the Great Dao Longevity Pill, taking one every ten years was indeed a considerable expense.
Even for a ninth-level Dao Venerable like Jin Lan, it was a huge pressure.
Jin Lan couldnât transfer this pressure to the clan. The clan could only provide partial assistance. The bulk still had to be resolved by herself.
No wonder she said she was poor and couldnât afford tea.
She could be called the poorest ninth-level Dao Venerable!
Lin Moyu said, "Great Elder Jin Lan, you can now state your real purpose."
Jin Lan was slightly stunned, "How did Friend Lin know I had other business?"
Lin Moyu chuckled, "Itâs not hard to guess."
Jin Lan flipped her palm, producing an exquisite box, "Is this the box Friend Lin is looking for?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "Thatâs right."
Jin Lan said, "Then can Friend Lin guess why I didnât give the treasure box to the clan, but came directly to give it to Friend Lin?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "No need to guess that. If you give the treasure box to the clan, the clan would have to give a big reward. But youâve already received a lot from the clan over the years. You donât want to add more pressure to the clan, and moving money from the left hand to the right hand is meaningless."
"So you might as well come find me, give the box to me directly. Even if I have nothing to exchange, at least I can owe you a favor."
Jin Lan smiled, "Friend Lin is indeed clever."
Lin Moyu said, "Clan Leader Jin Mie probably doesnât know about this. If he knew, he definitely wouldnât agree."
Jin Lanâs smile grew, pushing the box in front of Lin Moyu, "Thatâs right. Please help me keep this secret, Friend Lin."
Lin Moyu reached out to take the box, "Certainly."
Putting away the box, Lin Moyu took out a spirit flower and presented it to Jin Lan.
Seeing the spirit flower, Jin Lan showed a strange expression, "Friend Lin, this flower..."
She could see the spirit flower was extraordinary, but didnât know what use it had.
Lin Moyu said, "Great Elder Jin Lan will know when you use it!"
Jin Lan took the spirit flower. Her soul power moved slightly, activating it.
The spirit flower quickly grew, then bloomed.
A gentle aura emanated from the flower, enveloping Jin Lan.
Jin Lan immediately felt an indescribable comfort from her soul.
At this moment, she knew the use of the spirit flower.
Without any resistance, she let the spirit flower envelop her.
Lin Moyu drank tea while opening the newly obtained box.
Having opened three boxes, Lin Moyu was already familiar with the process.
The formation in the box operated. With a light sound, the box opened.
The aura of the Great Dao realm emanated. This time, the box didnât contain a fragment, but a round jade stone.
The jade stone displayed myriad colors, very beautiful.
As the jade stone appeared, the Thousand Stars Dao naturally manifested again.
Not just the Thousand Stars Dao, other daos also showed some stirring, though not as strongly as the Thousand Stars Dao.
"Strange, could this also be a Star Lord legacy item?"
Although Lin Moyu couldnât understand, he still threw the jade stone to the Thousand Stars Dao.
In an instant, the world before his eyes changed. He seemed to enter starry space.
Lin Moyu found himself standing on a dao. Around him was pitch-black starry space.
Then, a point of light appeared in the black starry space. Then, more and more lights.
Lin Moyu then realized these lights were stars.
In the surrounding black starry space, countless stars were hidden.
Now, some stars began to revive due to some special power, and this special power came from that peculiar jade stone earlier.
The light of the stars grew from weak to strong, until entire stars were lit up. Then the stars turned into meteors, flying into the Thousand Stars Dao.
"Ice Star Lord returns!" A realization arose from the bottom of Lin Moyuâs heart.
"This is the return of Star Lords!"
"The Star Lords of the past not only left legacies on the Origin Continent, but also had many stars dormant in deep space."
"Without Star Lords, the Thousand Stars Dao was incomplete, the dao was damaged."
"Now with Star Lords returning, the dao begins to truly repair."
"This peculiar jade stone has the effect of repairing the dao."
He watched as star after star went from dim to bright, finally returning to the Thousand Stars Dao.
"Fire Star Lord, Twilight Star Lord, Earth-Splitting Star Lord..."
Star Lord after Star Lord kept returning, the power of the Thousand Stars Dao gradually increasing.
At this moment, Lin Moyu truly felt like he was becoming the Dao Master.
These Star Lord legacies would all become his foundation.
When he becomes the Dao Master in the future, these Star Lords will be his subordinates.
Besides the undead army, he will also be able to have an army composed of Star Lords!
