Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes
Chapter 346 Jiang Shiyuan's Determination
"Thank you."
Jiang Shiyuan lightly tapped the surface of the black jade cup with his finger. After thinking for a while, he chose to pick it up and take a small sip, stopping short of taking a bite.
She has little knowledge of tea and usually only drinks bottled beverages. The only thing she can taste in this cup is some kind of green tea with a peach flavor...
It tastes good, but that's about it.
"tastes good."
Jiang Shiyuan's purpose in coming today was not to drink tea.
So, after offering a perfunctory compliment, she stopped exchanging pleasantries with the two men and went straight to the point, explaining her purpose for coming.
To obtain the elixir, one must be sincere; at the very least, one must let the Queen Mother of the West know why she needs the [Clear and Bright Elixir].
She concealed part of the battle at Takamagahara and told it to Garan and the other two.
"Because I lost my memory, I only heard about the battle from my comrades, so the details are not very clear. Losing my memory has greatly affected my daily life, and I have been searching for a way to recover it."
Jiang Shiyuan had been quite natural when she mentioned Lin Qiye earlier, but now she seemed a little lost for words. After mumbling it off, she composed herself and looked at the two of them seriously.
Fortunately, my master is very knowledgeable and experienced.
He told me that the elixirs refined by Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) are highly effective, and one of them is called the "Qingming Dan" (Clear Mind Elixir), which may have a miraculous effect on restoring memory.
"I have shamelessly come today to request the elixir; I wonder if Her Majesty will grant me an audience. I humbly request that you two fairies convey my message."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the two of them with trepidation.
If the Queen Mother of the West is willing to see her, then the elixir is almost guaranteed; if not… then she can use the possibility of a major event happening in Yaochi today as leverage.
Having come all this way, she couldn't possibly leave empty-handed.
However, she felt that the Queen Mother of the West wouldn't be so heartless.
"So Miss Jiang came for the [Qingming Pill]." On the other side, Jialan exchanged another glance with the orange-clad fairy.
Their prediction was correct; Jiang Shiyuan had indeed come for the Golden Elixir. According to Jiang Ziya, as long as Jiang Shiyuan asked for it, they would give it to her. Now was the time.
"Before leaving yesterday, Grandfather asked the Empress for a Qingming Pill, which is currently inside the palace."
The fairy in orange maintained her smile. After she finished speaking, she stood up under Jiang Shiyuan's surprised gaze, "Have your tea as soon as possible, I'll go get it."
The celestial palace occupies a considerable area. The place where they are currently drinking tea is specifically for entertaining guests. Treasures like the [Clarity Pill] are placed elsewhere and need to be retrieved separately.
After leaving behind a single sentence, the fairy in orange gracefully departed, leaving the two sitting opposite each other.
To be honest, Jiang Shiyuan didn't know why the two of them kept asking her to drink tea. They had brought it up several times since she sat down, and they were acting like human NPCs in a game.
However, she clearly remembered telling Jiang Ziya that she would come to ask for the elixir herself. She never expected that the old man would quietly go and get the Qingming Pill after they parted ways. She didn't even need to see the Queen Mother of the West to get it.
If she hadn't come, she would never have known about this. This is truly doing a good deed anonymously.
After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Shiyuan felt a warmth in her heart.
Whether in the game or in real life, Jiang Ziya was incredibly kind to her. She was so ungrateful; he wasn't some old man at all, he was clearly her beloved master!
She vowed that she would take care of Jiang Ziya in his old age and see him to his death; this was her determination!
"Miss Jiang, you can take the pill after you finish your tea," Jialan reminded her helplessly, seeing that Jiang Shiyuan had once again drifted off into her own thoughts.
She really wanted to poke the other person's head to see what they were thinking.
Once the peach dew is poured out of its special container, it cannot be preserved any longer. This is the best time to drink it. If you wait any longer, its spiritual energy will gradually dissipate, which would be such a pity.
"After taking the Qingming Pill, one can calm the mind and focus the spirit, and see through falsehoods. When combined with the Peach Dew, the pill's effects will be fully activated. With Miss Jiang's current strength, she may even have an epiphany as a result."
But don't worry, I'll stay here and protect you.
Jialan's words were practically a tacit indication, and Jiang Shiyuan finally caught on.
She finally realized that the Peach Dew was a set with the Qingming Pill and needed to be taken in a package. It was probably something that Jiang Ziya asked for along with the Queen Mother of the West when he asked her for the pill. No wonder Jialan and the Orange-Clad Fairy reminded her so many times.
"I'm sorry, Jialan, I didn't understand just now. I'll drink it now." Jiang Shiyuan had just suspected that the other party wanted to drug her, but after realizing what had happened, she felt ashamed. She had been petty and overthinking things.
“It’s alright, I…” Jialan was about to say something when he suddenly paused.
Seeing Jialan's strange expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Jiang Shiyuan suddenly picked up his cup and stood up. "It's fate that we met today. There's no need to say more about our feelings. I'll drink tea instead of wine, bottoms up!"
"Wait, this tea..."
Jialan snapped out of her daze and saw Jiang Shiyuan's actions. Only then did she remember what she had just wanted to say. She was about to speak, but before she could finish her sentence, the jade cup filled with peach dew was already empty.
"Drinking this tea all at once might make you drunk..."
She watched Jiang Shiyuan drinking heartily and helplessly finished what she had to say.
Jiang Shiyuan, who only heard the second half of the sentence after finishing her drink, was speechless.
She really wanted to ask, "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"
Unfortunately, she can no longer bring herself to ask.
"Om-!"
Because the 'drunkenness' state brought about by the Peach Dew is not true intoxication, Zhuang Zhou's passive ability was not triggered.
The moment Jiang Shiyuan finished drinking the peony tea, his eyes widened in astonishment.
My head is buzzing.
As the sun set, layers of rosy light spread out, dyeing the sky. Endless illusions appeared in her mind. In a daze, it seemed as if she was truly draped in a rouge color, which made her feel warm and cozy.
Feeling light and airy, like I'd just eaten some mushrooms.
"It's also my fault; I didn't have time to remind them."
Seeing that Jiang Shiyuan was dazed and about to fall to the ground, Jialan shook his head and stepped forward to support her.
The 'drunkenness' she just mentioned wasn't actually intoxication, but rather a side effect of consuming too much spiritual energy.
This spiritual energy is nothing to immortals, but Jiang Shiyuan's body has never received so much spiritual energy at once before. Coupled with the properties of the Peach Dew, he will fall into a daze.
At first, she didn't think of it, but then she remembered and was about to remind her when she heard Jiang Shiyuan call her name. She was momentarily distracted and didn't have time to speak, which led to the current situation.
"who are you……"
His ink-black hair slid down from his dark blue palace dress. Jialan lowered his head and stared intently at Jiang Shiyuan's face.
She was certain that Jiang Shiyuan did not know her, and she had not said her name just now, so why would Jiang Shiyuan know her name?
"What are you doing!"
Just as Jialan was staring at the person in deep thought, an angry shout came from the doorway.
