Tang Yigao was astonished by the young man’s quick wits. Worthy of his title as Jade Grade Appraiser. After a brief pause, he continued with a troubled tone this ti.
"However, I would need two more things to ensure this thod would work as planned. I need a herb that contains Yin Qi that is unyieldingly cold and a thread that could withstand the two forces. Xiao Hûo, if you have such information, please tell . I will compensate for your information handsoly."
Ash studied Tang Yigao’s face closely to find any subtle sign of wickedness that might underlined this whole conundrum. He then glanced at Yunxian who was looking very troubled. He couldn’t help but to think, why would she look so troubled and worried about her grand niece?
"Hmm..." Ash nodded. "I know the exact items that you would need to heal your granddaughter."
"Are you certain?! Please tell !" Tang Yigao stood up, leaning over the table. Fortunately, Yunxian was there to calm him down before he flipped the table upside down.
"But, you need to tell the truth first." Ash glanced to the side. "I know that it’s not my place to ask this question. But, why would you co to Yunxian’s annex of all places in the world?"
Tang Yigao inhaled a deep breath and then sat back in his chair. He could have answered the question with another question. Why would you want to know? What’s the rit in that?
However, Tang Yigao trusted the young man’s intuition and he had the right to question the intricacies of his family.
"Although ilan was born from the womb of her late mother, Qinxuan, the egg that grew in Qinxuan’s womb was not hers. It’s Yunxian’s egg."
Ash was utterly bewildered as he heard such an unthinkable thod. However, he remained calm and collected while listening to him.
"Qinxuan, although her talent was exceedingly rare, she wasn’t fertile and couldn’t conceive my son’s seeds no matter how many years they have tried for it. However, Yunxian proposed a ground breaking thod to transfer one’s egg to another woman’s egg and be fertilized by the husband, and we agreed to do that in order to save Tang Family’s Bloodline."
Yunxian opened her mouth and spoke softly. "However, I can’t marry Lord Tang Jiaxuan due to the fierce internal strife at that ti since the heir position was vacant."
"Alas..." Tang Yiguo said. His eyes were teary as he looked at the chandelier. "Jiaxuan and Qinxuan were assassinated one week after ilan was born to ensure no more heirs or heiresses were born from my bloodline."
Yunxian poured another cup of tea for Yiguo to calm himself. "Therefore... ilan would need my blood transfusion to survive the operation since our Cultivation Stage are pretty much at the sa level."
"Aiisshhhh, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Ash clicked his tongue a few tis while shaking his head. "You humans are truly foolish creatures."
Tang Yigao shuddered as he heard the young man’s remark. For him, it feels like that he was being judged by a being with much higher degrees in cultivation.
"Unfortunately, we are, young lord." Yunxian admitted. Sulking on her couch.
"Very well..."
With just a flick of his fingers, Ash summoned the [Everlasting Snow Jasmine] which he used to balance the Primordial Qi in his body and helped him forge the [Black Diamond Body Constitution Bones] in both of his legs.
The whole room was freezing as soon as the [Everlasting Snow Jasmine] landed on the table. Before the whole annex was frozen by the unyielding coldness, Ash enveloped the Immortal Herb with his Pure Yang Qi to balance the energy.
Both of them were in utter shock as they had never seen such a beautiful flower before.
"Young lord, what is this?!"
"Everlasting Snow Jasmine. The Pure Yin Qi in each petal should be enough to suppress the chaotic Yang Qi inside the Infernal Worm’s heart. That way, you could even ta the heart from wreaking havoc after the transplantation." Ash said cordially.
"As for the thread, you will need the Queen of Arachnids’ Silk Web. Its high resistance and flexibility should be able to withstand two opposing energies for hundreds if not thousands of years into the future. Of course, it also depends on ilan’s will to live on and fight her illnesses."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yigao and Yunxian broke down in tears. They thought ilan’s fate was sealed and destined to have a very short life despite being born into the Tang Family.
"Thank you so much, Xiao Hûo! You just solved years of beguiling internal strife of the Tang Family in a matter of minutes! What could this old man possibly do for you?! Say it! And I will see it done!" Tang Yigao crossed his arms before his chest proudly.
"If it’s just a Queen of Arachnids, I know where to find them and how to kill them, hahaha!"
However, Ash hadn’t finished just yet. He raised his hand before Tang Yigao beca more boastful than he already was.
"Let’s not celebrate too soon, Lord Yang Yigao. I haven’t told you how to obtain the silk thread."
Tang Yigao sipped his tea. "Uh, okay. Please speak."
"According to the record that I studied, the Queen of Arachnids would only use her silk web to spin the eggs right after she laid them. Therefore, you need to find the freshly hatched eggs and take the silk web with you. However, the quality would be lowered significantly and you’d need thousands of miles worth of silk web to refine them."
"Can I just slay the queen and harvest its silk glands?"
"No. The Queen of Arachnids’ Silk Web is very delicate and could only be produced by the queen herself. The Silk Gland would wither as soon as it ca into contact with the air."
"Then, how could I get the silk without killing it?"
"Easy enough, ask her nicely and you shall receive it." Ash sipped his tea leisurely.
