Chapter 1594: Chapter 53: Jiang Ning’s Shamelessness
Morning.
Tiny snowflakes drifted down from the sky, gently falling everywhere.
In the direction of the mansion’s backyard.
Xia Xuanyan and Jiang Ning sat facing each other, a small red clay stove set on the stone table before them, with its charcoal burning vigorously.
At this moment, Xia Xuanyan picked up the teapot and poured it into the teacup in front of Jiang Ning.
The tea flowed into the White Jade Cup, its color a profound yellow, warm and lustrous, with no leaves visible.
The tea rippled in the White Jade Cup, rich like nectar, its fragrance seemingly making the surrounding air more solid.
"Have a taste!" Xia Xuanyan said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning picked up the teacup.
He blew softly, causing the tea to ripple and spread.
Then he slowly took a sip of the tea.
As the tea entered his belly, a warm, heavy stream of air spread to his limbs and bones, his internal organs.
At the next moment.
A look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
As the stream of air entered his organs, he immediately felt a warm, lingering life force slowly spreading within him.
This tea did not directly transform into a surge of Qi-Blood or True Yuan.
Instead, it quietly permeated his limbs and bones, meridians and organs, as if the earth was nurturing all things, silently stabilizing the body’s essence.
Under the nourishment of this power, he also felt the curse power in his lungs being suppressed and dissipating.
His expression relaxed a bit, his brows smoothed out, and the color on his face brightened, the purple on his lips fading a little.
He then took another sip, swallowing it slowly.
As the tea entered his belly, the warm, heavy stream of air spread out once more.
[Source Points +0.1]
Seeing the prompt that appeared before him, a look of surprise flashed again in his eyes.
At the same time.
Xia Xuanyan also noticed Jiang Ning’s expression.
A slight smile appeared on his lips.
Jiang Ning’s changes in expression were all within his expectations.
At this moment, Jiang Ning took two more sips of the tea in succession.
As the two sips of tea entered his belly, another prompt appeared before him.
[Source Points +0.1]
Seeing the prompt, a ripple of emotion surged in his heart.
Merely two sips of tea had brought him a prompt of Source Points increase.
It should be known that 0.1 Source Points is equivalent to a thousand Source Energy Points before.
According to his previous experience, equivalent to drinking a sip of tea now was like drinking dozens of taels of gold or tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"The wealth of the Grotto Heaven is terrifying!" he lamented inwardly.
Then drinking one mouthful after another, he quickly drank all the tea in his cup.
"How is it?" Watching Jiang Ning drink tea heartily, Xia Xuanyan showed a slight smile, asking confidently.
"Good tea." Jiang Ning put down the teacup, his voice calm, but his gaze towards Xia Xuanyan deepened.
"This... has remarkable effects against the power of curses."
Receiving the answer he wanted, Xia Xuanyan smiled faintly, then poured himself a cup of tea as well.
"Profound Yellow Mother Qi is transformed from the essence of the earth’s origin, it is the most substantial and lingering, excellent for nurturing the foundation, and can also temporarily ward off external evils. Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tea, contains Profound Yellow Mother Qi, naturally able to suppress the power of curses, even eradicate it completely."
Jiang Ning remained silent for a moment, then looked at Xia Xuanyan: "Master Xia, what is your intention in coming today, might as well speak frankly!"
While speaking, Jiang Ning picked up the teapot and filled his own teacup.
Then he drank a mouthful heartily, like a cow chewing peonies, without beauty.
Seeing this, Xia Xuanyan became even more composed.
Inviting Jiang Ning to drink Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tea was meant for this purpose.
To show Jiang Ning the foundation and ability of the Profound Yellow Cave Heaven, proving that what he was about to say was not mere rhetoric, adding credibility to his words.
Afterwards, Xia Xuanyan nodded slightly, his fingertips gently stroking the warm cup wall.
"Since the last time we parted, the proposal I made to the Marquis, have you given it thought? Marry my daughter, join the Profound Yellow Cave Heaven, become part of the Xia family. The Xia family lineage is noble, tracing back to an ancient Human King, it would not disgrace you."
"You have also experienced, with the foundation of the Profound Yellow Cave Heaven, it has the eligibility and ability to relieve you of the curse’s burden."
"The Marquis is tremendously gifted in talent, if due to a curse he should fall in mid-course, dying young, a generation’s prodigy passing quickly like a meteor across the sky, it would truly be a pity."
As he spoke, his gaze again swept over to those few empty iron boxes in the corner of the backyard, which still bore the faint aura of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
So he continued: "This past month, the Marquis ravaged Guangning Prefecture, amassing countless resources, presumably hoping to forcibly extend life through sheer wealth, refining the body to resist the curse. This method may show results in the beginning. But the Curse Killing Skill involves causality, its legacy is extraordinary, as long as a sufficient price is paid, enduring the backlash of causality and the Heavenly Dao, its power can continuously strengthen! Even the current Holy Emperor, with his profound foundation, is hard-pressed to escape certain death!"
"What do you think you can do?"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning’s heart shivered.
He thought the power of the curse was just like this.
But he had not expected that the power of curses could be increased, enhancing the power of the Curse Killing Skill.
"No wonder, no wonder that Changning Emperor couldn’t withstand it!" he thought to himself.
Then he looked at Xia Xuanyan, speaking nonchalantly.
"Master Xia seems quite knowledgeable about the Curse Killing Skill?"
After saying this, he drank the tea in his hand in one big gulp.
[Source Points +0.2]
Instantly, another prompt appeared before him.
At this time, Xia Xuanyan also took a sip of tea, his expression indifferent.
"Cave Heaven Blessed Lands have existed for a long time, inevitably tangled with one another."
"As the head of the Xia family, I naturally understand the major Blessed Lands and Cave Heavens."
