Chapter Twenty-Two: Joy at the Arrival of a Distant Friend

the twilight, a magnificent and irretrievable sword.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!The moment he saw him, he ran straight into him.Jiang Wangxian charged forward wi...Even the immortal palaces have fallen, history is but a wisp of smoke.

Winter Emperor Xie Ai is said to be the reincarnation of Frost Immortal Jun Xu Qiuc辭, but Xu Qiuc辭's rebuilt Rime Palace has long disappeared over two thousand years ago, along with the name of Frost Immortal.

Today, the only place where perhaps the 因緣仙宮 of Qin Gu Xu's lineage still remains intact is probably within reach. However, Jiang Wang can't see it. He couldn't just go there out of the blue and say, "Let me see your treasure"—he could probably only see the 因緣刀.

Regarding records of the fairy palace, many ancient texts merely gloss over them. He had specifically looked them up, but they were all scattered and lacking substantial useful information.

Under the tireless labor of the Xian Palace warriors, and with his personal cultivation rapidly growing and constantly replenishing, the ruins of Yun Ding Xian Palace now have a general outline. It is no longer a sight of broken walls and rubble.

The splendid scene of the fairy palace is not out of reach.

Of course, with just appearances, its might would be insufficient.

He urged Bai Yuntong, but Bai Yuntong only asked him: "Master Immortal, without bricks, how can we build a building"

The core of the magical arts lies in the talismans, and the materials used to craft them within the Immortal Palaces are incredibly rare—scarce even during ancient times, and practically nonexistent in the present world.

So far, only a few statues of Immortal Palace Warriors have been replicated, using materials obtained within the Shan Hai Realm...

Jiang Wang silently looked at her Yun Ding Xian Gong for a while, and suddenly felt immense pressure, as if she saw a giant mountain named "Debt".

Time to make some money!

Shaking my head, I regretfully depart for now.

Today's sun is quite harsh, baking the July plain like a frying pan. People are motionless like prepared ingredients, waiting to be cooked or burnt.

White Jade Palace is a good place to visit.

The innkeeper ushered in a gust of cool wind, dispersing the heat and leaving the inn somewhat chilly. Many patrons were dressed in their robes as they ate and drank, wishing they could stay indoors all day long.

The lord relaxed his posture and went downstairs, inspecting his territory.

The guests had gradually gotten used to this approachable big shot. At most, they'd smile and nod in greeting, no longer chasing after him to say hello.

The host glanced at the table casually. Seeing that the dishes were generous and the diners were enjoying their meal, he walked on contentedly.

I walked into the backyard and saw Brother Zhu.

In fact, Master Brother is much handsomer than Lin Xianying. However, he hides his face now, and his appearance has been concealed. Moreover, he doesn't have the skill of chopping wood shirtless, which causes those aunties to often ask when Xiaolin will be back.

Whenever asked, Lian Yuzhan always replied, "Her qualifications were insufficient, and she has been dismissed."

It's outrageous, with such a good figure and talent, you're still not considered qualified

White Jade Capital has suffered a significant loss of returning customers!

Though Zhu Wei was still recovering from his injuries, he took on the task of chopping wood assigned by Lin Xian. He always picked up dozens of pieces of firewood with one shot, and with a random point of his spear, split them into evenly sized thousands of strands.

Throughout the entire process, no supernatural powers or magic were used, relying entirely on the precise control of physical strength.

Jiang Wang winced: "Brother Zhu, is there such a way to chop wood"

Whi turned her eyes to him, completely unable to understand why she was criticized. My peerless gun skills had blossomed for you, what else could you possibly fault

The passing innkeeper pointed out: "Splitting it like this makes it burn too quickly, which increases the cost of the kitchen."

Wishing he could have a moment of solitude, he'd never been poor in his life. Even when times were tough, he was always in the Sea-Mountain realm, where he couldn't spend a single copper coin.

Han Shao, a full-faced refugee from Xia Guo, is now the most diligent person in the wine shop. He's skilled at everything from wiping tables and washing dishes to chopping wood, which he brings back for Zhu Wei to split...

He just happened to be carrying a full load of firewood, piled into two small hills front and back. He was carrying it on an iron pole across his shoulders, walking through the narrow alleys towards the back door of the tavern. The kitchen, firewood shed, and ice room for storing vegetables were all in the backyard.

As I approached, I caught sight of a sneaky figure peering through the crack in the door, looking into the courtyard.

"Halt! Who are you, sneaky thief, lurking about here!"

That sturdy figure turned back, revealing a face with hawk-like eyes and a fierce goatee. "How dare you speak to me like that Shut your mouth!"

Han Shao was furious: “What do you think this place is Shut your mouth!”

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!

The man with hawk-like eyes and a stern expression was furious: “How dare you! A mere woodcutter... Do you know who I am”

Han Shao dropped the firewood and drew his iron yoke, looking ferocious: "Do you know who my master is!"

The back door swung open at that moment. From behind the door, Jiang Dongya looked out and exclaimed, "Zhong Liyan How did you get here"

When a villain succeeds, he becomes truly arrogant! He doesn't even bother to offer tea and water or ask me to sit down. This wretch refuses even to call me "Brother Zhongli"!

Zhong Liyan silently made a few notes in his heart, but on the surface he was nonchalant and smoothed his collar: "Well, since I'm visiting friends and passing by Xingyueyuan, I might as well take a look at you."

He looked Jiang Wang up and down, as if he could really see something: "Hmm, not bad. The primordial spirit is lively and the foundation is true. Progressing very quickly."

Walking naturally into the courtyard, he looked around: "This small dilapidated wine shop is still quite well-preserved!"

Han Shao, who was about to grab his pole and get ready for battle, felt a twinge of anxiety. He was worried that he might have offended someone powerful by following the shopkeeper's orders, and losing this job - where could he find such a good one Working alongside these prodigies was an incredible opportunity; any occasional guidance from them would bring enlightenment, and his cultivation progressed at an astonishing rate. All he had to do was some physical labor, with meals, lodging, and pay all provided!

It wasn't that Han Shao was timid. He had once dared to assassinate the renowned Jiang Wang single-handedly. Where would his courage have gone

But this person surnamed Zhongli, his aura is too strong! In front of the number one expert in history, he was very arrogant, almost like a great master coming to inspect.

Jiang Wangchong gave Han Shao a wink, signaling him to go fetch some firewood.

"Smiling, he welcomed Zhongli Yan: 'This small tavern, of course, cannot compare to the grandeur of Xian Gu. Thankfully, the food and drink are still well-prepared. We've invited renowned chefs from all six nations, so we can cater to any taste. A friend has come from afar... Bai Zhuangshi, bring out our finest wine and dishes. This esteemed guest hails from Nan Chu, a true prodigy of our time!'"

"The host cannot be so unreasonable!" Bai Yuxia frowned and spoke directly, "The wine in our shop is very expensive! The water is transported from the Snowy Country, the peak on Mount Tianshan that never melts—"

"Presumptuous!" Jiang Wang glared at him, interrupting him: "What nonsense are you talking about Do you think the young master Zhongli of Chu is someone who would care about such a small amount of money"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Zhong Liyan let out a cold snort, inwardly cursing the Bai family of Langya fiercely. With a grim expression, he said: "This young master has lived so long and doesn't know what it feels like to be short on money."

"Hahaha, look, what's called a high-ranking official, what's called domineering!" Jiang Wang pulled Zhong Li Yan towards the building: "Brother Zhong Li, don't mind them, they know who I am and what I'm like Our tenth floor suite, the best spot, on me!"

>

The alcohol is enough now.

The meal was also full.

My purse is empty.

In order not to waste the money he spent, Zhongli Yan ate and drank all the food and drinks he had ordered.

"Hmm, you..." Zhongli pursed his lips and said slowly, "You say this dish is made with spirit vegetables, but I can't taste any spiritual energy."

Jiang Wang's face showed surprise: "I thought that Brother Zhongli was from a distinguished family, knowledgeable and well-versed in the world... You don't know"

Zhongli Yan was at a loss: "What do I know"

“Sigh, now people eat and drink, they all strip away the spiritual energy. A little bit of spiritual energy is meaningless to true powerhouses. This is a high-end way of eating, only seeking the essence of food.” Jiang Wang looked at him with a sympathetic gaze: "Brother Zhongli, don't you find it unpalatable"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhong Liyan didn't understand the difference between lingqi-stripped spiritual vegetables and ordinary vegetables. But unable to bear the gaze, he let out a 'ha' and said: "It tastes good! It's just that I rushed out this time and ran out of money. Otherwise, for all the signature dishes here, I would have tried them all!"

Jiang Wang beamed, "Don't worry about it, just order whatever you want!"

Zhongli Yan slanted his eyes and looked at him: "You please"

"You can pay later!" Jiang Wang said, though he didn't budge on spending a penny. "I trust you more than anyone else, Zhongli! Besides, I'm not short of grain to offer."

Zhongli Yan patted his stomach: "Next time. I'm really full today."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang didn't press the issue. After all, Zhongli was a true man of the world, understanding the principle of slow and steady progress. He then asked, "Brother Zhongli said you were passing through on your way to visit a friend. I wonder who you are visiting"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhong Liyan said, "You know that my relationship with Dou Zhao is very good. He has always been obedient to me..."

>

“Dou Zhao” Jiang Wangqi exclaimed, “Isn’t he in Chu Where did you go to visit him”

“A few days ago, he suddenly disappeared! He didn't even tell me beforehand. I inquired everywhere and found out that he had gone to the prairie, so I immediately chased after him.” Zhong Liyan gritted his teeth: “I was truly worried—about him.”

Jiang Wang could probably guess where Dou Zhao had gone, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Zhongli Yan finished picking his teeth and glanced at him, casually saying, "By the way, Brother Jiang. I heard you broke a record recently, what was it"

The youngest human ever recorded

“It's not this, it doesn't seem like a real record of the cave, more like something related to a divine presence, maybe Borderless or something... Do you remember”

"Are you saying that a god is exploring the limits of the borderlands"

"Yes! That's it!" Zhongli Yan clapped his hands excitedly. "Brother, you are amazing!"

>

Jiang Wang said calmly, "What's there to make a fuss about"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhongli Yan looked at him again, and finally got to the point: "That, good brother, you've been wandering around Bianhuang for so long, going so deep, do you have any secrets"

"As for the secret, of course there is one. Otherwise, how could others not break this record, and only I could do it" Jiang Wang pretended to think deeply: "But these are all hard-won experiences from me, thousands of times escaping death, repeatedly pondering... that's a secret that's not passed down. I was planning on leaving it to my disciples."

Zhong Liyan pleaded earnestly: “Descendants have their own blessings, one generation gives way to the next. You leave it for your disciple, when will he be able to use it Besides, by then, whether your secrets are still useful is anyone’s guess. Maybe I'll have wiped out the demon race by then Give it to me, it can be used immediately and won’t be wasted! I came all this way to see you!”

Jiang Wang frowned, his face contorted in pain, "This is a difficult decision..."

Zhong Liyan seemed to have understood, he leaned back on the chair and said, "Name your price!"

"How could I possibly ask you for this" Jiang Wang slowly raised a finger.

Zhong Li Yan tentatively asked, "One thousand Yuan Shi"

Jiang Wang made a difficult face: "...Deal!"

Zhongli Yan had a feeling that he'd been taken for a ride. This guy agreed so readily!

>

But Zhongli, the young master, wasn't short of Mora. He simply waved his hand and said: "I don't have that much on me, I just spent quite a bit eating. You give me the secret recipe first, and when I return to Liyue, I'll send it to you."

Jiang Wang said with a difficult expression: "This kind of secret, it's still better to buy and sell immediately."

“Is there no trust between people” Zhongli Yan was very dissatisfied: “I can’t give it to you now, I’m going to the grassland soon.”

The owner of the White Jade Palace Restaurant was very considerate: "It's alright, you write a letter, add your personal seal, and then go to the grassland with peace of mind. I'll send it back for you."

Zhong Liyan silently made a note of Jiang's mercenary nature, but as a man of sophistication, he remained composed on the surface: "This small sum... ha! Very well, I shall comply. Prepare the pen and ink!"

In a short while, Chu Yao hurried over with two sets of brushes, ink, and paper.

“Why are there two” Zhongli Yan asked alertly.

Jiang Wang casually picked up one of them: "Shouldn't I give you some tips"

Zhong Li Yan wrote the letter requesting money in just three strokes, then took out his own personal seal, imbued it with his unique aura, pressed it down heavily, and handed it to Jiang Wang: "Here!"

At this time, Jiang Wang also finished writing the secret recipe and handed it to Zhong Liyan: "Please take a look."

Then she summoned Lian Yuchuan and handed her Zhong Liyan's letter. "Take this to the elephant kingdom through the official channels and send it out. Make sure it gets there, and do it as quickly as possible!"

Lian Yuchuan got a job that allowed her to go home and visit, so she happily flew away.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhong Liyan had already finished reading the secret at this point, and looked up at Jiang Wang: "Is that all A map drawn so unprofessional, considered a secret"

"Zhongli, you have to speak with conscience! What do you mean broken map I drew this so carefully!" Jiang Wang took the paper and pointed at it: "I personally walked these six thousand li. Where there are demons, what kind of scale the demon tribes are, where is most dangerous, how the terrain is, how the environment is, whether the demonic energy is thick or thin, I've all marked it clearly. If I sent my disciple, they could follow this map to the end - isn't this a secret"

Zhongli Yan ignored those useless words and looked at him, saying: "Can you get a refund"

Grandmaster Jiang's face changed color: "What do you say"

Zhongli took a deep breath and put away the map.

I wanted to leave immediately, but thinking about the money I'd already spent, I couldn't suffer too much loss. So I pressed down on my pride, composed myself, and looked at Jiang Wang with a rather formal tone: "We cultivators have always made friends through martial arts. I am a celestial prodigy, and you are also a celestial prodigy. Since we're both here, why not test each other's skills"

Back then in the Shan Hai realm, this young man came straight at me swinging his sword. Where was the courtesy

Grandmaster Jiang's face showed hesitation: "You want to spar with me I just achieved enlightenment, my power is unstable and hard to control."

Zhongli Yan had already grown accustomed to this expression. He said directly, "Lay out your conditions!"

Here's the translation:

"Grandmaster Jiang readily agreed: 'When I go back to Chu, I want to challenge your father. You can help me arrange it.'"

Zhongli Yan fell silent for a moment, then turned and walked away.

Damn it, a disgrace!

You bastard Jiang Wang, don't make me get up, or I'll throw your entire restaurant to the wilderness!

There will be an update at 8pm.

There's more to add. I dare you, give me everything, and let's see if we can still move forward.

I've revised chapter 20 of this volume again, adding more details and polishing some phrases. Making it read more smoothly. There are quite a few additions, but don't worry about the cost. Just refresh to see the changes.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it, it won't affect your reading of the rest of the story because there are no changes to the main plot. It's just some minor edits I made to myself when I reread it. I kind of got obsessive about it.
