One is valuable and intended to raise the price, while the other wishes to lower it.

This negotiation went on for several months.

Eventually, the parties reached three consensuses regarding the conditions for importing the Jade Lotus.

Firstly, in exchange for three Eighth Grade [Reborn Immortal Pills], and ten Seventh Grade [Heavenly Vein Holy Pills], the Immortal Dynasty can transplant ten Jade Lotus plants less than a thousand years old from Profound Pill Island.

Secondly, Queen Lan Xin must teach the Wang family the cultivation and breeding techniques of the Jade Lotus.

Thirdly, for every five furnaces of Reborn Immortal Pills that the Immortal Dynasty cultivates, regardless of the outcome, the Wang family will have one purchasing slot.

This is undoubtedly a tremendous gain for the Wang family.

Although the Reborn Immortal Pill is "not expensive," priced at "only" several million Immortal Crystals, due to the long cultivation cycle and various other restrictions, it has always been a strategic resource.

The quantity of Reborn Immortal Pills that flow out has always been very limited. Even for a First Grade Prominent Family like the Da Qian Imperial Household, purchasing one requires pulling strings and owing favors; it's not something that even money can easily buy.

The Wang family, flush with money as they are now, still finds it difficult to purchase a Reborn Immortal Pill. There's no help for it, as every family needs this item, and the competition is truly intense.

Currently, only the Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Household and the Immortal Palace have some inventory of Reborn Immortal Pills. This time, to acquire the original Jade Lotus plants, the Immortal Dynasty indeed paid dearly.

...

Just as Profound Pill Island basked in the joy of obtaining Immortal Pills.

In the Muzhen Continent, North Zhou Country.

National Capital Muxian City.

Northern Zhou Imperial Palace.

Today is the day for the bi-weekly Small Morning Meeting, and outside the south gate of the Imperial Palace, the square is crowded with carriages. These are the carriages of officials attending the Small Morning Meeting, who will need to ride back after the meeting ends.

It was near the Hour of the Snake before the Small Morning Meeting finally concluded.

The palace gates opened, and officials swarmed out from within the Imperial Palace like a flood through an opened gate; in the blink of an eye, the square was packed with people.

Many officials gathered in groups of two or three, discussing matters from the Small Morning Meeting, creating a lively scene.

At this point, a woman with a gilded crown, dressed in court attire, stepped out slowly from the palace gates.

Her court attire was predominantly black, embroidered with intricate patterns in gold and silver, making her look splendid and grand, enhancing her aura of nobility and authority.

On her forehead was a red mark.

Against her snow-white skin, this bright red mark appeared like a flame burning fiercely, with a hint of golden light, making it particularly striking.

Upon seeing her, the numerous officials composed themselves, their faces suddenly showing respect.

"Greetings to Imperial Daughter Luo Jia."

It turned out that this woman was North Zhou Country's current Imperial Daughter, the former Duchess of Luo Jia, Ji Ling Xiao.

More than a year ago, she was officially elevated to the title of [Imperial Daughter], and her title continues to use the original [Luo Jia] characters, thus her full official title is [Imperial Daughter Luo Jia].

In terms of status, she is on the same level as Da Qian's Emperor Zi'an; it's just that her prestige in North Zhou is still not on par with Emperor Zi'an due to her shorter period in the new position.

However, with her ability, in time, she is certain to become a Great Emperor whom future generations will praise.

After formally being elevated to "Imperial Daughter" status, she has officially inherited the Codex.

However, she did not inherit the North Zhou Imperial Household's [Mysterious Water Codex], but rather the [Six Yang Codex] that originally belonged to the Wei King's Mansion.

Due to her fiery bloodline, the Mysterious Water Codex really wasn't suitable for her. If it were, she wouldn't have had her sights set on the Profound Pills Codex at first.

Fortunately, the former Wei King hadn't yet passed the [Six Yang Codex] down to Wei Donglai, making it available for Luo Jia now.

Thanks to the Heavenly Earth Essence within the Codex, her aptitude has already been raised to World's Best Class C, and in another one hundred and fifty years or so, she should be able to break through to the Divine Power Territory and formally succeed to the Great Emperor's throne.

Amidst the farewell of all the officials outside the palace gates, Imperial Daughter Luo Jia quickly made her way through the crowd and boarded her personal flying carriage.

Soon, the flying carriage ascended into the air, heading toward the Manor of the Prefecture Principal.

After becoming the Imperial Daughter, according to custom, Luo Jia should have moved into the East Palace within the Imperial Palace. This arrangement, first, is because the East Palace has always been the residence of the heirs to the throne and represents a status symbol; secondly, it facilitates learning governance from the previous Great Emperor.

However, since Luo Jia's time as Imperial Daughter is so short, renovations in the East Palace haven't been completed yet, and for some unmentionable reasons, she still resides in her original Duchess of Luo Jia Manor.

To facilitate her commute, Emperor Yuan Ping specially allocated her the Empress's Phoenix Carriage, granting her permission to fly over Muxian City, a privilege accorded to her status as Imperial Daughter.

Returning to the Manor of the Prefecture Principal, Imperial Daughter Luo Jia was about to return to her room to change clothes when a maid came to report, "Your Highness, Young Master Shou Ye has been out of the Dan Chamber and has been waiting for you in the pavilion for almost an hour."

"Young Master Shou Ye is looking for me?" Imperial Daughter Luo Jia first froze, then her face instantly cooled as she reprimanded the maid, "Young Master Shou Ye is an Honorable Guest; how could you let him wait in the pavilion? Why didn't you invite him to the Warm Pavilion?"

The maid was startled, hurriedly and fearfully explaining, "Your Highness, you instructed us to treat Young Master Shou Ye as a master; how could this maid dare to be negligent? It was Young Master Shou Ye who said the air is good in the pavilion; he can drink tea, read, and wait for you there. So, I ordered people to serve him tea and our best snacks."
