The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 296: Dan Beads For You

Dan Beads For You . . .

"Feng Monarch, may I inquire about the purpose of your visit?" Lan Langlang approached the conversation with extreme caution, a habit he had recently acquired due to his prominent status as one of the 'three lords in town.'

"Well, Lord Lan, I've come to seek your assistance," Cha Eun Xiao responded in a composed manner. "There's something I'd like you to deliver to General Lan."

Lan Langlang inquired, "May I ask what it is?"

Cha Eun Xiao turned his hand, revealing three jade bottles, each containing dan beads roughly the size of soybeans.

The onlookers were captivated by the three bottles of dan beads. They were unable to avert their gazes, and their breaths grew heavier.

"What could it be if it's a gift from the Monarch of the Ling-Bao Hall?" they wondered. "Could it be the supreme dan?"

After some contemplation, they dismissed the notion as absurd. If all the dan beads were supreme dans, they would be worth more than the entire Land of Han-Yang!

"These are just some small items I've recently crafted... Gold Healing Dan," Cha Eun Xiao told Lan Langlang. "Each bottle contains 200 dan beads. When needed, simply take one dan bead, dissolve it in warm water, and it should suffice for three people to heal their wounds... In three days, all wounds will be completely healed."

Lan Langlang shot to his feet, his eyes wide, and took in a deep breath. "Are you serious?"

The eyes of those who had heard Cha Eun Xiao's words lit up, and their faces flushed with excitement.

"Such an incredible dan! And in such large quantities!"

"One dan bead for three individuals, with 200 dan beads per bottle. There are three bottles!"

"That means there are enough dan beads to treat two thousand injured individuals!"

The Gold Healing Dan was specifically designed for those who had suffered injuries, making it a godsend for soldiers. With these three bottles of dan beads, many soldiers who had been unable to recover would be healed within three days, potentially saving their lives and enabling them to continue fighting.

What an extraordinary gift it was!

Many people and factions fervently pursued Supreme Dans, regarding them as the most valuable treasures. However, for soldiers, the Gold Healing Dan was far more valuable than any Supreme Dan.

The three bottles symbolized the lives of their comrades.

Lan Langlang's hands trembled as he tightly clutched the bottles, as if he were grasping his own lifeline. His words came out in an emotional jumble as he repeated, "Thank you! Thank you..."

Cha Eun Xiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

If he had given Lan Langlang these dan beads as his friend, it would have incurred a significant debt of gratitude. Cha Eun Xiao didn't want that; he considered Lan Langlang as his brother. Repaying a favor was often challenging.

However, since it was now a gift from the Monarch of the Ling-Bao Hall, the dynamics were different. Feng Monarch was offering them as a donation, not as a favor between friends.

"I only had the time to make this many," Cha Eun Xiao said with a smile. "I've run out of materials anyway. Let's allocate these to General Lan's southern troop for now. As for the others... I'll consider it later. Please forgive me."

Some puzzled expressions emerged among the onlookers. "What is he saying? He just gave away something incredible, and now he's asking for forgiveness?"

However, one particular phrase from Cha Eun Xiao's words caught their attention: "As for the others... Let me think about it later."

The perceptive individuals among the powerful factions, sects, and hidden cultivators discerned a deeper meaning in his words. They had limited involvement in the ongoing conflicts among the kingdoms in the world. Those who controlled certain regions recognized the hidden implications in Cha Eun Xiao's statement.

Feng Monarch, Feng Zhiling, and his Ling-Bao Hall were extending a gesture of goodwill toward the Kingdom of Chen, particularly to General Lan. There might be a special connection between them. Otherwise, why would Cha Eun Xiao make such a generous gesture in their favor and do it publicly? It was a clear message to the entire world: anyone who dared to oppose General Lan would also be challenging the might of the Ling-Bao Hall!

That certainly carried an implied threat. Prior to Cha Eun Xiao's visit to and departure from the House of the Chaotic Storm's room, such a threat might have resonated with some individuals, but it held little significance for most present. However, the situation had changed dramatically. Many were now contemplating the idea of extending goodwill to General Lan and assisting the Ling-Bao Hall and its Monarch as a gesture of favor.

Lan Langlang was so deeply moved that he found himself at a loss for words.

Following Cha Eun Xiao's recent gift of the dan beads, Lan Langlang had experienced a surge of motivation. He had diligently dedicated himself to cultivating and engaging in physical training. He even ventured into the business world, managing to achieve substantial profits in a short period. This newfound financial success had bolstered his confidence during the auction. "I'm wealthy now, and I earned it on my own terms. I can spend it as I see fit. There's no problem spending it all," he had thought.

Lord Lan had been rather content with his accomplishments. However, his pride crumbled when the three bottles of Gold Healing Dan beads made their appearance. Despite his financial success, he realized that he couldn't even afford half a bottle of these precious dan beads. Feng Monarch was giving them away without hesitation, and this was just the beginning; he would likely donate more in the future.

The three princes from the Kingdom of Chen were practically green with envy. They hurried over, eager to engage in conversation with Feng Monarch. Since Feng Monarch had shown kindness to General Lan, it implied goodwill towards the entire Kingdom of Chen. As princes representing their kingdom, they believed that Feng Monarch should also extend his favor to them.

Cha Eun Xiao maintained an air of politeness while conversing with the princes, but inwardly, he couldn't help but sneer.

Suddenly, a child's voice broke the conversation. It was polite but tinged with dissatisfaction. Cha Eun Xiao turned his attention to the speaker, an adorable boy of about eight or nine years old with round, expressive black eyes.

"May I ask... Feng Monarch, are these all that you can offer? Or will there be more..." The young boy's words held a tone of curiosity.

Cha Eun Xiao inquired, "Hmm. These are all I have for now. Who are you, young one?"

"I am Chen Zhi," the boy replied, lifting his head. "These dan beads will save many soldiers in the south, but there are just as many soldiers in the east, west, and north, all fighting fiercely. Why not prepare some for them too?"

The young boy's question left the onlookers stunned and contemplative.
