Chapter 1595: Chapter 53: Jiang Ning’s Shamelessness! (Part 2)

"Curse Killing Skill, there are only three or two places skilled in this art in the world today."

He put down the teacup, his gaze becoming deep: "Marquis, do you know from which Grotto Heaven your Curse Killing Skill originates?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I don’t know!" Jiang Ning shook his head as the mystical cavern he saw through the causal line flashed in his mind.

"I roughly know!" He set down his teacup, glanced at Jiang Ning, and picked up the teapot, his lips twitching slightly.

Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tea leaves are such a good thing that even he hesitates to drink often.

Then, unable to resist, he hurriedly took the teapot Jiang Ning placed on the small red clay stove and poured himself a cup.

"Which Grotto Heaven?" Jiang Ning drank half a cup of tea before asking.

Seeing the prompt appear once more before him, he felt satisfied in his heart.

Previously, he wanted some information about the Immortal Cave Heaven from Xia Xuanyan.

Now it’s different.

Drinking tea remains his current utmost concern.

With Source Points having such effects, he no longer dislikes having too many Source Points.

So he wasn’t in any rush at this moment.

"I cannot say!" Xia Xuanyan took a sip of tea and then shook his head.

He added: "It is not that I don’t want to be honest with you, but all Immortal Cave Heavens have an agreement. Yet if you join my Profound Yellow Cave Heaven, regardless of which of these three Grotto Heavens, I will pay the corresponding price to visit and make them give up on the subsequent Curse Killing!"

"Even if they refuse, relying on the foundation of my Profound Yellow Cave Heaven, there are ways to help you get through this calamity!"

"I believe you can also feel it!"

As he spoke, Xia Xuanyan’s gaze fell on Jiang Ning’s teacup.

As the teacup emptied, another cup of tea entered Jiang Ning’s stomach.

"Allow me to consider it!" Jiang Ning spoke, picking up the teapot again to fill his teacup.

Xia Xuanyan’s lips twitched again.

At this moment, Jiang Ning spoke again.

"Master Xia, there is one thing I am very curious about, and I wonder if Master Xia can clarify it for me."

"Please speak!" Xia Xuanyan said.

"When I flattened the courtyard of Cross Immortal Gate before, I saw an Immortal called Ling Xuzi! An Immortal from the Flying Immortal Sect." Jiang Ning spoke while drinking tea.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xuanyan lightly rubbed the teacup in his fingers.

His expression calm: "Regarding the Flying Immortal Sect, I am aware that they are not true Immortals. The world’s environment has drastically changed, spiritual material no longer exists, spiritual energy has declined, and the world’s rules are incomplete. No one can truly ascend the Immortal Dao now. The Immortals of Cross Immortal Sect merely inherit the blessings of ancestors through special means; now in the outside world, an Immortal’s remains cannot be found, but not in the Cave Heaven."

Xia Xuanyan said meaningfully: "Once, some Immortals who were about to die chose to be buried in Cave Heaven Blessed Land to prevent disintegration and return to Heaven—what was sown in the past bears fruit today. Cause and effect, all due to such."

Hearing these words, Jiang Ning felt a chill in his heart.

Although Xia Xuanyan did not directly say how Ling Xuzi became Immortal, the revealed information already made Jiang Ning roughly understand.

Then he sipped the Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tea, feeling warm currents unfurl within him.

Another reminder appeared before his eyes.

"How has the Marquis considered?" Xia Xuanyan watched Jiang Ning pick up the teapot, his lips involuntarily twitching.

A slow pot of Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tea, yet Jiang Ning drank it all before he had two cups.

He felt somewhat heartache in his heart.

This grade of tea leaves, even if he emptied his family base, he couldn’t acquire many pieces.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning shook the teapot, the final drops slowly falling into the teacup.

The next moment.

He lifted the teapot lid, inserted his fingers into the teapot, and picked out that tea leaf.

"This matter is of great importance; please allow me to ponder it for a few more days."

As he spoke, he stuffed the already thoroughly steeped Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tea Leaf into his mouth and slowly chewed.

[...]

Looking at the consecutively appearing prompts before him, he felt satisfied in his heart.

Tea leaves are the true good stuff.

Watching the faint satisfaction on Jiang Ning’s face, Xia Xuanyan was speechless.

The teapot was empty, the tea gone, and even tea leaves that were only steeped once were taken by Jiang Ning and tucked into his mouth.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning picked up the teacup, gulping half a cup of tea down.

Gulp——

As his throat moved, the tea swept the chewed tea leaves into his stomach.

Watching Jiang Ning drink the final drop of tea, Xia Xuanyan’s expression of heartache finally turned into a faint helpless smile.

He set down his cup, which had merely been sipped twice.

"The Marquis is indeed..." His tone was slightly helpless.

Then he added: "This Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tea is my Xia family’s sincerity in hosting. But it can only temporarily suppress the curse power in your body; it cannot restore much of the eroded organs—the use of this item is, in the end, temporary. The true solution lies in eliminating the source of the curse or something with thousand-fold effectiveness of this Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tea."

"Master Xia’s sincerity, I’m grateful for!" Jiang Ning put down the teacup, wiped away non-existent tea from the corner of his mouth: "I can’t lower my head to join the Xia family."

Xia Xuanyan slowly rose.

"My sincerity, I believe, is abundant! What I proposed is not just anything else, but my precious daughter. I can even take a step back and allow the second child you two bear to carry your surname!"

"What about the eldest?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Naturally, follows mine!" Xia Xuanyan replied indifferently.

"I’m sorry I cannot agree!" Jiang Ning said.

Xia Xuanyan watched Jiang Ning, slowly shaking his head, showing no hint of what he was thinking.

Just then.

Jiang Ning suddenly reached out, sweeping away the Red Glow Fruits, the Dragon Eye Bodhi, and the Ice Marrow Jade Pear.

"The Marquis truly has a fine temperament!" Xia Xuanyan couldn’t hold back anymore, speaking coldly.

Then with a wave, he cleared the table of the small red clay stove, teapot, and fruit plate.

Subsequently, his form moved, and the air around him instantly twisted; he disappeared into the backyard without even a farewell to Jiang Ning.

Watching Xia Xuanyan leave, Jiang Ning smiled helplessly.

He could feel that Xia Xuanyan was somewhat angry.

If not, as Master Xia, how could he lose his decorum?

Returning his gaze, he took out a Red Glow Fruit and placed it in his mouth.

Crunch——

With a crisp bite, it was juicy.

After a few big bites, he swallowed, and the prompt slowly appeared before him.

[Source Point +0.1]

"Xia Xuanyan... truly generous!" Looking at the prompt before him, he secretly exclaimed.

Based on the growth rate of Source Points, such a Red Glow Fruit is worth roughly over a hundred taels to over two hundred taels of gold.

And Xia Xuanyan earlier had laid out more than just one Red Glow Fruit.

Only the Red Glow Fruits totaled four.

Besides, there were Dragon Eye Bodhi and Ice Marrow Jade Pear.

He quickly polished off the Red Glow Fruit in his hand with a few bites.

Then took out another, biting into it.

His mind at this moment was filled with the dialogue he had with Xia Xuanyan.

Their conversation, though brief, contained much information.

The Curse Killing Skill, though currently powerless against him.

But if a greater price is paid, it can enhance the power of the Curse Killing Skill.

This potential threat is something he had to consider.

Immortal’s methods are wondrously profound.

The more he understands the Immortal Dao, the more cautious he becomes about it, never daring to take it lightly.

During their conversation, one piece of news shook his heart.

That is the current ruler of Great Xia, Ji Mingyue’s father, the Changning Emperor, has already fallen into a coma.

This condition also indicates Changning Emperor’s days are limited.

Once such a stabilizing presence falls, Great Xia is bound to plunge into turmoil.

For until now, Great Xia’s legitimate heir has not been determined.

The nation cannot go without a ruler for a day!

On the day Changning Emperor passes, all Princes will certainly engage in a struggle.

Because Great Xia needs a monarch now, the current world needs a ruler.

As he contemplated, he looked toward Ji Mingyue’s room.

He knew this event would surely make Ji Mingyue deeply grieved.

"Another troublesome matter!" He secretly sighed, feeling a bit of a headache.

While contemplating, his hand didn’t stop.

In a blink, the four Red Glow Fruits all entered his belly.
