Chapter 1050 - Acting Shamelessly (1/2)

The two of them went over to the Grandelder's palace after Jinde put the veiled hat back on. Jinde glanced both at Wu Ya who was still facing off with Qiu Ling even though both of them seemed to have run out of things to say and then at Xiang Yong who was looking at Leng Jin Yu and him thoughtfully. Well, it seemed he'd have to remind that good stepson of his that it might not be such a good idea to have anyone from the dragon race be around him.

Leng Jin Yu tugged at his hand and pulled him over to the table, making him sit down. ”These are all the herbs that have been brought over from the dragon realm, as well as the ones that we already had. Do you need any more help?”

Jinde shook his head. ”No. This should be alright.” He started to go through the boxes, sorting them in the order that he needed before looking over at the disciples that were still preparing some simpler healing potions for Ma Zhi Wu to treat some of his light injuries. Their equipment … It wasn't quite satisfactory. While he would be able to refine something with it, it wasn't quite at the standard that would be needed for the potion he had in mind.

Thinking of that, he turned back to Qiu Ling. ”Brat! Where did you get that cauldron from you gave me the last time? It would be nice to have that again for this potion. Also, I'll need some equipment for preparing the materials.”

Qiu Ling turned around and then pulled Jing Yi over, looking from Jinde to Leng Jin Yu. ”Alright. I'll get you that cauldron. I don't know anything about the equipment though.”

Jinde sighed as if this really was making trouble for him. ”Find somebody who does then.”

Qiu Ling pursed his lips and then turned to Xiang Yong. ”You find somebody who knows about equipment.” With that, he just turned around and went to find the Grandelder's cauldron again.

Xiang Yong watched his king leave with a neutral expression. He had experienced this kind of thing way too often to be surprised but sometimes he wished that his king would behave differently at least in front of other people. But, well, that was a useless hope. He also knew as much.

Sighing to himself, he nodded at the others, and then went out of the palace, taking out his transmission stone and contacting An Bai. He hadn't wanted to disturb his rest but seeing how this was something specific to refinement, he just couldn't think of anybody else that could tell him. And, well, An Bai had at least had some time by now even if it wasn't much.

At that moment, An Bai had returned to his chambers and was sleeping. Feeling the faint pulsing of the transmission stone, he was startled awake and sat up, taking the stone out in a rush. Contrary to Fu Min who might just ignore something like this, he was a lot more conscientious. Since this stone was only used by the other advisers, it wouldn't do to ignore it. After all, what if something had happened to their king? No matter how much rest he needed, he would definitely make sure that he did his part in whatever was needed.

Seeing that it was Xiang Yong on the other side, An Bai felt slightly worried. ”Did something happen?”
