True Martial World - chapter-802
As Yi Yun looked at the elegant man, he did as what Fairy Black Bamboo
did and gave a salute. “Greetings to the prince.”
Prince Pingnan glanced at Yi Yun and did not think too much about him as
he continued speaking to Fairy Black Bamboo.
“Fairy, you don’t have to be so polite. I happened to be free enough to
come to the Fire Cloud State, so I took the opportunity to drop by and
meet you. Your bamboo wine here is extremely fragrant and is a rare
gourmet wine. Ordinary people can’t even get a taste of it, so I wonder
if a person like me has the chance to take a sip?” Prince Pingnan said
with a smile.
His attitude towards Fairy Black Bamboo was extremely humble, surprising
Yi Yun slightly.
As an Earth Fire Hall Elder, Fairy Black Bamboo’s status was naturally
far inferior to Prince Pingnan. For her to be thought of so highly by him
impressed the talent she had.
Yi Yun knew that Fairy Black Bamboo had only cultivated for a relatively
short period of time and that she had only recently become an Elder of
the Earth Fire Hall. Having been recognized by the upper echelons, she
would be promoted quickly in the future.
Fairy Black Bamboo had a promising future, yet Elder Heaven Scorpio dared
to target Fairy Black Bamboo. There was no other reason than because they
were from different factions. They were destined to fight. Furthermore,
the day Prince Crimson Firmament inherited the throne, it would greatly
affect Fairy Black Bamboo’s future in the Luo clan.
Fairy Black Bamboo smiled slightly and said, “It has already been
prepared for the prince.”
“That’s great.” Prince Pingnan clapped his hands once and said with a
laugh.
He spoke very casually and did not have the airs of a prince, it was as
though he was speaking to an old friend when he spoke to Fairy Black
Bamboo.

As Prince Pingnan and Fairy Black Bamboo were speaking, the dragon-turtle
behind Prince Pingnan suddenly flashed a golden brilliance, and following
that, the gigantic dragon-turtle as large as an island shrunk in size
rapidly. Its shape also began changing, and eventually, it transformed
into a middle-aged man dressed in dark gold robes.
The middle-aged man was stubby, with a genial smile on his face, and by
the ends of his mouth, there were two long dragon whiskers.
As for the immortal mountain the dragon-turtle was carrying, it had flown
off from the turtle’s back and transformed into an enchanted treasure the
size of a fist and then kept inside the stubby middle-aged man’s body!
Yi Yun drew a gasp seeing this. First, a large dragon-turtle was able to
transform into a person, and secondly, even the immortal palace it
carried was an enchanted treasure. If any of these were placed in the
Tian Yuan world, they would have been simply incredible.
“Uncle Dragon also likes drinking wine, so let’s all enjoy it together!”
Although the dragon-turtle was Prince Pingnan’s mount, Prince Pingnan was
still very respectful to his “Uncle Dragon”.
“Haha, I love drinking wine.” The stubby middle-aged man said as he
followed Fairy Black Bamboo into the palace. As for Yi Yun, he followed
them by the side. Be it Prince Pingnan or the stubby middle-aged man,
none of them paid any attention to Yi Yun.
This was understandable. They only treated Yi Yun as Fairy Black Bamboo’s
disciple or follower. Indeed, the duo needed to pay any attention to his
identity.

Moments later, in Fairy Black Bamboo’s bamboo building, Prince Pingnan,
the stubby middle-aged man and Fairy Black Bamboo sat around an antique
round table.
Fairy Black Bamboo sat carefully at the position meant for subordinates
in a very upright manner. However, the stubby middle-aged man had already
begun gulping down wine from the jug he held in his hands.
“Haha, the flavor is really good.” The stubby middle-aged man praised
with a chuckle.
As for Yi Yun, he was naturally standing behind Fairy Black Bamboo and
listened to the trio’s conversation.
“I wonder what Your Highness Pingnan is here in the Fairy Black Bamboo
for?” Fairy Black Bamboo asked.
Previously, Prince Pingnan had mentioned that he happened to drop by
since he was on the way, but Black Bamboo knew that with his status, he
definitely did not come to the Fire Cloud State on a whim but because he
had work to do.
“I came here under the orders of Her Highness Xuanhou.” Prince Pingnan
drank a mouthful of bamboo wine and said slowly.
“Her Highness Xuanhou?”
Fairy Black Bamboo faltered momentarily. Xuanhou was Princess Purple
Spirit’s birth mother.

“Haha, there’s nothing I can do. Princess Purple Spirit is capricious by
nature. From the looks of it, she doesn’t have her mind set on inheriting
the throne, so the person who is really anxious is Her Highness Xuanhou.”
There was a saying that a mother’s worth was determined by her children,
so Xuanhou was naturally anxious when it came to Princess Purple Spirit’s
struggle for the throne.
Fairy Black Bamboo said, “Princess Purple Spirit is still young, so her
disinterest in power struggles is considered normal. In the future, when
Princess Purple Spirit grows up, she will naturally turn for the better.
Speaking of which, what decree did Her Highness Xuanhou give?”
“I wouldn’t call it a decree, but for the upcoming Luo Divine Hall trial,
Her Highness Xuanhou is paying great attention to it. As you should know,
our Luo clan had fought with the sinkhole, and suffered great losses,
with many Luo Divine Hall disciples falling! Now, our Luo clan needs to
nurture large numbers of the younger generation to slowly recover our
strength. For this upcoming Luo Divine Hall trial, His Majesty has even
given the sacred decree that he would take out a few precious artifacts
from the Divine Treasure Palace and heavily reward Luo clan disciples
with excellent results!”
“As you know, His Majesty is about to abdicate the throne and the fight
for the throne between Princess Purple Spirit and my elder brother,
Crimson Firmament, is getting more intense. His Majesty would make his
decision based on various small details. Besides, the upcoming Luo Divine
Hall trial is no trivial matter. Since His Majesty places so much
importance in it, Her Highness Xuanhou naturally does not want to lose!”
“So that’s the way it is…” Fairy Black Bamboo understood. For the
upcoming Luo Divine Hall trial, Emperor Luo had personally decreed it and
even offered treasures from the Divine Treasure Palace. That was not
something to be scoffed at. Anything that was placed in the Divine
Treasure Palace was the best out of the best supreme-grade items.
Ignoring the disciples from the various states, even princes needed to
have sufficient talent and be outstanding enough to enjoy a minor portion
of the resources held in Divine Treasure Palace.
After the huge war, the Luo clan had suffered heavy losses, so using a
portion of the Luo clan’s accumulated resources to develop its strength
was reasonable. This was indeed an opportunity for the younger Luo clan
generation, one that came less than once in a hundred thousand years. If
they managed to grasp it, they could really enjoy a great deal of
valuable resources and enjoy a meteoric rise and have a bright future
ahead of them.
Prince Pingnan then said, “Black Bamboo, as you know, my elder brother,
Crimson Firmament, is already 3500 years old. His subordinates have
already be around for about 3000 years. And his birth mother, Her
Highness Luohou had entered the harem tens of thousands of years earlier
than Her Highness Xuanhou. Furthermore, Her Highness Luohou’s family
possesses an ancient Fey bloodline, so her faction is equally large!
“As for Princess Purple Spirit, although her talent is equal or even
better than my elder brother, Crimson Firmament, she is still young.
Princess Purple Spirit nearly lacks any power herself, and relies fully
on Her Highness Xuanhou. At the upcoming Luo Divine Hall trial, it is
indeed the best opportunity for my elder brother, Crimson Firmament, to
exhibit his prowess. If his men were to account for a majority of the
spots, Princess Purple Spirit and Her Highness Xuanhou would look bad
regardless of the reason. It might even affect His Majesty’s decision
about the heir.

Fairy Black Bamboo nodded in response to what Prince Pingnan said. She
said, “Your Highness Pingnan, you are right. However for the upcoming Luo
Divine Hall trial, I too am limited and won’t be of much use. I can only
do my best to nurture the disciples under me and send them to give it a
try.”
“Alright, we just need to do our best. For this trip, I have gone to
three states and have brought some resources to do a last-minute push.
Let’s hope it will be a little effective. Black Bamboo, tell me. Who in
the Fire Cloud State is up to it?”
Prince Pingnan placed his cup of wine down and began to cut to the chase.
