Chapter 182 Teleportation Array? Next stop, the City of Ruins?
"Lord City Lord, you flatter me!"
Xue Donglai quickly waved his hand and said modestly, "With the City Lord's strength, even without us, the mere Poison Scorpion wouldn't be able to cause any trouble."
Xiao Yu just smiled and didn't bring up the topic again.
He naturally didn't take a mere scorpion seriously, but... he was genuinely grateful to the other party.
If the Poison Scorpion really manages to break into the inner city, with the destructive power of a half-step eighth-tier cultivator, he will have no choice but to take action himself. Even so, the aftershocks of the battle between the two sides will still affect the inner city.
In that case... the city I painstakingly built might have to be rebuilt.
"You two seem to be injured?" At this moment, Xiao Yu noticed that the two people next to Xue Donglai looked unwell and were having difficulty breathing, clearly indicating that they were weak.
"We apologize for making a fool of ourselves, Lord City Lord," the two said with wry smiles, bowing slightly.
"Xinglan, bring Bodhi tea!"
"Yes!" Xinglan immediately brought over a tray and handed each person a cup of tea.
"Gentlemen, please try some of the specialties of my Dragon City!" Xiao Yu picked up his ceramic teacup and gestured slightly.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
The three nodded, each picked up a cup, skillfully used the lid to stir the tea leaves, blew on the still steaming tea, and a delicate fragrance instantly wafted up, making their eyes light up.
"It has a slightly bitter taste at first, but upon careful tasting, a hint of sweetness can be detected!"
"My injuries seem to have healed quite a bit. Could it be that this tea is so miraculous?"
Xue Donglai is the young city lord of the city of ruins, and the two peak seventh-tier leaders are among the leaders, all of whom are knowledgeable and experienced.
However, after tasting a sip of tea, they all widened their eyes instantly.
They had never seen such amazing tea before!
"You two were injured because of my Dragon City, this is just a small token of my appreciation," Xiao Yu said with a smile, waving his hand.
This tea is made from Bodhi tree leaves; it not only tastes good but also has certain healing effects.
Normally, it is only supplied to a few people in the city lord's mansion, and outsiders have no chance to drink it at all.
But today is different. These people are from Dacheng, and three of them have helped Longcheng before.
By offering this tea, we can not only attract friends from afar, but also get their help to expand the market.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu looked at Xue Dong and said, "Young City Lord, you want to trade Night Glow Dew, right? If you want to trade in the future, you don't need to buy 50 worth of goods. You can buy from me anytime."
Buy 100 drops or more and get 20% off! Buy 1000 drops or more and get 30% off!
"Is this true?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Donglai immediately stood up, his eyes shining.
The two seventh-level guards also stood up abruptly.
Clearly, all three were overwhelmed with joy.
"Of course!"
Xiao Yu raised his hand and gestured for the three of them to sit down first, then smiled gently.
"Young City Lord, you came to my aid during this critical time, so you are a friend of Dragon City. Besides... Night-Shining Dew is nothing rare. The tea I just served you was brewed with Night-Shining Dew. Otherwise, how could it have such a subtle sweetness?"
"What? Tea brewed with luminous dew? Does it taste that good?!" The three of them widened their eyes again.
"Pfft~"
Seeing the three of them looking completely unsophisticated and exasperated, Honglian and Xinglan couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Not only can it be used to make tea, but it's even more effective for bathing!"
"Take a bath?" The three of them stared blankly, their faces expressionless.
They all thought it was too extravagant to use luminous dew to brew tea.
This deputy city lord of Dragon City, Honglian, actually said that she was meant for taking baths?
Seeing the three people speechless with shock, Xiao Yu simply shook his head with amusement.
Honglian's words were true; the Night-Shining Tree gathers more than 50,000 drops of Night-Shining Dew every night.
One hundred drops is roughly the amount of a 100ml glass of water.
The people in the city lord's mansion drink it like water every day, and use it to cook dishes and make soup. They don't even need 10,000 drops.
They couldn't sell many to the inner city residents, so in the end, they could only be used for bathing.
Then, everyone discovered that this method of nourishing the body was indeed very effective.
Xiao Yu's body grew stronger and stronger, while the women's skin was as smooth as jade and as white as snow.
"Lord City Lord is indeed generous! In that case, thank you very much!" After confirming that Xiao Yu was willing to sell him a large quantity of Night Glow Dew, Xue Donglai finally breathed a sigh of relief and did not forget to flatter him.
His gaze then fell on the tea in the cup, and he asked curiously, "I wonder... what kind of tea is this, that it has such a miraculous healing effect?"
"Another specialty of my Dragon City, Bodhi Tea, is made from Bodhi fruit!" Xiao Yu said frankly without hiding anything.
"Could it be... the Bodhi tree that is rumored to cure all diseases?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Donglai's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and said,
"I'm not afraid to tell you, Lord City Lord, that my father is seriously injured. The main purpose of my trip is to find a life-saving medicine for him. If you could trade me some Bodhi Fruits and tea, my City of Ruins would be eternally grateful!"
Even June, the catwoman, knew about the Bodhi Fruit, so he must have heard of it.
However, the low-level healing plants were no longer effective against his father's injuries.
Only high-grade healing herbs can have a therapeutic effect.
The Bodhi tree in Longcheng has miraculous healing properties even in its leaves. If it has already borne fruit, I gave it to my father to consume...
"Oh? The city lord of the City of Ruins?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's heart stirred slightly. He still appreciated Xue Donglai's frankness.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu did not refuse, but said,
“I can sell you all of these. However, the Night-Shining Dew and the Bodhi Fruit are ultimately plants. Once separated from the tree, they will lose their vitality.”
The first day of use is the most effective;
The next day, the medicine's effectiveness was halved.
On the third day, the amount was halved again.
By the seventh day at the latest, it will be almost completely ineffective!
This is also impossible.
These plants have excellent medicinal effects, but their activity cannot be retained for very long.
Xiao Cao, the top pharmacist in Longcheng, tried it, but it also ended in failure.
Of these, the luminous dew is the most difficult to preserve.
There's no need to rush to pick Bodhi fruits, but the night-shining dew is a different story.
Even though they know the medicinal effects will weaken after leaving the glowing tree, they still have to collect it every day.
Because if it's not collected, the luminous dew will evaporate directly when exposed to the sun.
"What? It's only valid for seven days?" Xue Donglai looked dejected upon hearing this.
Dragon City is thousands of miles away from the City of Ruins.
In the wasteland world, there are no high-speed transportation options.
It would be incredibly difficult for the three of them to travel back to the City of Ruins within seven days on foot.
Moreover... even if we reach the city of ruins in seven days, the medicine will have very little effect left!
"It's a pity that Dragon City doesn't have a teleportation array, otherwise..." one of the guards said with a wry smile, as if thinking of something.
"Teleportation array? What is that?" Xiao Yu was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Um..."
Seeing Xiao Yu's puzzled expression, Xue Donglai explained, "My City of Ruins has a teleportation base. As long as you consume a large number of energy stones, you can connect to an air-conditioned passage and instantly travel tens of thousands of miles!"
"There really is a teleportation array!"
