Chapter 19 I Agree, Who Disagrees? [Please Read On]
The Moon Palace, meeting room.
Five mature women sat around a long white jade table on both sides, with Nangong Nayue sitting in the main seat.
The meeting room was small, but it was decorated with great elegance. Several paintings of the moon palace hung on the walls, their brushstrokes delicate and their artistic conception profound. A faint fragrance of osmanthus blossoms burned in the incense burner on the table, the wisps of smoke drawing faint arcs in the air.
The five elders wore matching white gauze gowns, the fabric as light and thin as cicada wings, which shimmered softly in the candlelight. Their figures were as graceful and mature as Nangong Nayue's—slender waists, full breasts, and every curve perfectly proportioned.
They are the true rulers of the Guanghan Palace, each a powerful figure at the Sendai Realm, a being on the verge of becoming a powerful being. In the Ziwei Star Region, any one of them could be a figure who reigns supreme in a region.
They are discussing something right now.
Something happened that caused an uproar in the entire conference room.
"What? Ten million?"
When Nangong Nayue said she would create a spiritual cave for Yi Qingwu and give her ten million catties of source stones, an elder sitting on the far left was so shocked that he stood up.
Her name was Wu Qing, and she was the most senior of the five elders. She was plump, with a dignified face. Her black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, with a few strands of silver mixed in, which added to her charm of age.
"Holy Lord, don't you, as the Holy Lord, know how much ten million catties of Origin Stones are for that child Qingwu?"
Wu Qing's voice was clearly anxious, and his brows were furrowed.
"That's something that takes decades, even centuries, of saving up!"
Sitting opposite Wu Qing, Li Qiutang also looked solemn and nodded slightly.
She was the youngest of the five elders, appearing to be only in her early thirties, but in reality, she was over two hundred years old. She had a beautiful face, a heroic air about her, and spoke crisply and decisively.
Elder Wu is right.
Li Qiutang spoke, her voice not loud, but each word clear.
"Ten million catties is no small amount. And it also requires a spiritual cave. Although Qingwu is a saintess, she is not yet at that stage to enjoy such resources."
Sha Tang, who was sitting next to Li Qiutang, also spoke up. She was wearing a moon-white gauze dress with dark patterns embroidered on the neckline, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. Her temperament was gentle and graceful.
"Qingwu is a child who doesn't manage the household, so she doesn't know the difficulties of managing it. Our Guanghan Palace is not a big power in the Ziwei Star Region. We have been able to develop to where we are today entirely because of our careful management, which has allowed us to accumulate some wealth."
Sha Tang's voice was gentle, but the determination in her tone was no less than anyone else's.
The other two elders, Mo Lan and Shi Qinglian, also shared their opinions.
Mo Lan was dressed the same as the other elders, but her temperament was the coldest, like a piece of ancient ice, and even her words carried a chill.
"I agree with Elder Sha's opinion. Ten million catties of source stones are enough for us to cultivate several prodigies from the Sea of Wheels to the Dragon Transformation stage. It's too risky to invest all of them in one person now."
Shi Qinglian was the most voluptuous of the five elders, her figure almost exaggeratedly full, and every smile and frown exuded the unique charm of a mature woman. Her voice was languid and gentle, but every word she spoke hit the nail on the head.
"Qingwu is indeed talented, but talent is not everything. Resources must be allocated reasonably; we can't empty our coffers just for one person."
The five elders, one after another, surprisingly reached a consensus.
Refuse.
Yi Qingwu's current realm has only just broken through to the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm, so she doesn't need as many as ten million catties of source stones.
It should be noted that the entire Moon Palace only possesses about 70 million catties of Origin Stones.
If this costs one-seventh of your income, who wouldn't feel the pinch?
Nangong Nayue sat in the main seat without saying a word.
She wore a moon-white long dress, slightly different in style from the five elders, with gold patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, highlighting her status as the Holy Lord.
A faint smile played on her lips as she glanced at the five elders, listening quietly to their opinions.
Once their discussion had subsided, Nangong Nayue slowly spoke.
"Indeed, Qingwu's request this time was a bit excessive."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, carrying a reassuring gentleness.
"However, there is a reason for this."
The eyes of all five elders fell on Nangong Nayue.
"What's the reason?"
Wu Qing asked, his brows relaxing slightly.
Although their opinions were important, the final decision rested with Nangong Nayue, the Holy Master of Guanghan Palace.
Nangong Nayue smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of pride and satisfaction.
"Qingwu broke through again yesterday. She is now at the first level of the fourth level, and her right arm cultivation has been successful."
The eyes of the five elders lit up simultaneously.
He just broke through to the Fourth Extreme Realm yesterday, and in less than a month he has broken through to the next level?
This speed is indeed astonishingly fast.
That's not the point.
Nangong Nayue continued, her voice carrying a sense of composure that "the best is yet to come."
"The key point is that Qingwu assured me that as long as she is given sufficient resources and environment, she can break through to the fourth level of perfection within a year."
She paused, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the five elders.
"In one year, the four poles are perfected, hands and feet connect heaven and earth, and every move is a law and profound art."
There was a moment of silence in the conference room.
The five elders all showed varying degrees of shock and surprise on their faces.
"real?"
Wu Qing's voice rose several decibels, and his eyes, which had weathered more than two hundred years of storms, were now filled with an incredulous light.
"I confirm."
Nangong Nayue nodded, her smile deepening.
"Qingwu can definitely do it. Since she came back from her trip, I've noticed a power within her that's helping her grow stronger quickly."
"Opportunity?"
Li Qiutang's brows twitched slightly, as if she had thought of something.
"That's certainly possible."
Sha Tang took over the conversation, her voice thoughtful.
"That child Qingwu may have encountered some kind of opportunity outside, which allowed her to break through so quickly in a short period of time."
"In that case, shall we grant Qingwu's request?"
Mo Lan's cold voice rang out, with a hint of relaxation in her tone.
The five elders began to discuss again, but this time, the direction of their discussion had clearly changed.
The question has shifted from "whether to give" to "how much is appropriate to give".
Seeing that they had finished their discussion, Nangong Nayue cleared her throat and said something that silenced everyone.
"Everyone, don't forget, Qingwu is now Yin Tiande's fiancée."
Her voice wasn't loud, but each word was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
"Yin Tiande is now at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With his talent, he is at least a Saint."
The expressions of the five elders changed simultaneously.
They almost forgot about this.
The marriage between Guanghan Palace and Bajing Palace is the biggest news in the Ziwei Star Region recently.
The Eight Trigrams Palace, one of the most prestigious holy sites in the Ziwei Star Region, boasts a profound foundation and is home to numerous powerful figures. Yin Tiande is the most outstanding successor of the younger generation in the Eight Trigrams Palace and is hailed as the leading figure among the younger generation in the Ziwei Star Region.
Yi Qingwu is the most outstanding disciple of Guanghan Palace.
This marriage is a great blessing for the Moon Palace.
"The stronger Qingwu becomes after marrying into the palace, the better it will be for our Guanghan Palace."
