Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 47 - Keep the Speech

Meirong and Yutian were stunned to think Yao Han was not satisfied enough with the food he had eaten as breakfast. Yet Yao Han's reply made them a little embarrassed.

"The order this time is for Teacher Hong and Teacher She." Yao Han also apologized as if forgetting the whereabouts of his teacher for being too fixated on good food.

"Not a big deal, don't think about it." Meirong laughed

Yao Han ordered back three side dishes like before and two additional side dishes. Meirong and Yutian received whatever their students gave them, because they did not actually need the food.

The total Yao Han had to pay was eighty-eight spirit stones and as he took out one blue spirit stone, the servant girl's breath was stifled for a moment.

Although it was equivalent to a hundred yellow spirit stones that were generally circulating in the world of cultivators, but having a blue spirit stone showed quite a high background for a young man like Yao Han.

The treasure dispensing ability that Yao Han had issued was already equal to the important elders of the middle sect with a practice at least on the Earth Foundation.

The servant's attitude became more respectful than before, making Yao Han flustered. Yao Han did not know the people around him who were aware of his actions looked at him in a different way.

"Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll get the change."

"No need, miss the waiter can take it as a tip. Oh, take this too."

The servant girl was a little dazed as she was called as the servant lady. No one had called him that before.

Still in his confusion, he received a jade bottle from Yao Han that gave off a faint fragrant aroma. Again Yao Han gave out a fragrance made from the Blue Lotus Flower.

"Thank you, Young Master." The servant girl saluted.

Yao Han retorted with a soft nod then stepped away. The servant girl still looked at Yao Han until she was nowhere to be seen, then looked towards the blue spirit stone and the perfumed bottle in her hand alternately.

Outside the restaurant, Yao Han stroked his slightly distended stomach while thinking of finding a place to rest in order for his stomach to digest food well.

In just a moment, the Jade Treasure Tower's top brass was made excited by the information Bao Fan had conveyed. The news of Feng Xian reopening was indeed very good for them, but it was even more shocking with Feng Xian having disciples.

"From Manager Fu, the name of this Senior East Wind disciple was Yao Han. From her appearance, she was very young, probably the same age as Wei'er." Bao Fan added.

Bao Wei was the only son of Bao Fan and still did not reach twenty years of age.

"The Bronze Alchemist at the age of less than twenty years..It is clear that he is the youngest Bronze Alchemist in history, right?"

"In addition he was able to make super and perfect quality pills that numbered in the tens to hundreds..."

"I even suspected he was beyond the title of Bronze Alkmeis. It was not impossible for him to almost become a Jade Alchemist."

"I'm not sure. Decades-old Jade Alchemists were unheard of. Those with the same title are at least a hundred years old."

"Why not? East Wind was the number one Alchemist in the world of cultivators, so it was clear to choose a disciple with high talent. After all no one knew the past of the East Wind, it could be that in his youth, he became the youngest Jade Alchemist and now he had a disciple with alchemy ability that was no less high with him."

Small debates began to be created and were heard longer and longer. Just then, one of the higher-ups asked Bao Fan.

Before Bao Fan replied, the other higher-ups first voiced out, "What should we do anyway? Doesn't what makes the most sense is having a close relationship with her?"

"Really, right. Maybe we can ask him to make a pill for us to resell."

"Stop that shit."

The meeting room was immediately silent after hearing that cold voice, which was none other than a man with quite a fertile body. His cheeks were a bit round, but his eyes were sharp. This man was named Qian Yuan.

"You don't realize what you said could make the Jade Treasure Tower flat on the ground and live history?" Qian Yuan snorted in annoyance.

The atmosphere of the room was quieter.

Qian Yuan was indeed neither the Patriarch nor the Grand Elder of the Jade Treasure Tower, but his position as one of the important elders as well as still a relative of the Patriarch made himself respected by many other higher-ups.

Qian Yuan gave such a warning because indirectly their side wanted to make Yao Han their pill-making slave. It was a very presumptuous action because it could make the East Wind angry.

"Brother, they didn't mean that. Their only submission is wrong." Bao Fan opened his voice to dispel that silent and awkward atmosphere.

Qian Yuan snorted softly, "Patriarch, do you think I don't realize that almost all of the sect members are happy for assuming successfully monopolizing the pills from the East Wind for the past three hundred years?"

Bao Fan coughed softly and smiled awkwardly. Some people bow their heads. What Qian Yuan said was not entirely wrong. It was not only him and most of the sect elders who thought so, but the other sect parties as well.

Feng Xian's willingness to sell pills on the Jade Treasure Tower made their position even more special. Almost all sects thought that the Jade Treasure Tower had managed to get on the good side of Feng Xian proved to be able to cooperate with him.

"Say I'm naive, but we shouldn't think like that of someone who's contributed to our higher position over the past hundreds of years." Qian Yuan's voice was not as cold as before, "I agree about establishing good relations with East Wind disciples, but you better not think about using them."

The silence and awkwardness in the room slowly disappeared.

"I plan on sending a representative to the Moonlight City branch store. Who is suitable to go there?"

One of the elders opened his voice, "How about we send Miss Qian over?"

Miss Qian in question was Qian Yue, the only child and daughter of Qian Yuan. All eyes turned to Qian Yuan.

"What do you think, brother?" ask Bao Fan.

Qian Yuan stroked his short black beard, "Yue'er with this young man named Yao Han is the same age, right? All right, I agree. Perhaps as long as the young man was there, Yue'er could persuade him further to get closer to our side."

Qian Yuan agreed as he was very confident in his daughter's abilities. From a young age, Qian Yue had studied business and achieved many achievements. The experience made his mind quite sharp and his insight broad.

Qian Yue's achievements made her an important position of being dictated and respected by many officials, as well as her father's name, Qian Yuan.

In addition, Qian Yue is a girl with above average beauty that she inherited from her late mother until she was dubbed as a Fairy Treasure.
