149: Chapter 149 Team Building at Yaochi? Is this the legendary bathwater of fairies?

Having bid farewell to the devastated Death Valley, the black mercedes-benz g-class sped along the road in the uninhabited hinterlands of the Kunlun Mountains like a wild horse unbridled.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was exceptionally cheerful.

The oppressive feeling of thunder and lightning was gone.

In its place were the rolling snow-capped mountains outside the window and the intoxicatingly blue sky.

"Boss, are we really going to Yaochi?"

Reba leaned against the car window, looking at the mountain peak in the distance shrouded in colorful auspicious clouds, her eyes filled with longing.

"I heard that's where the Queen Mother of the West lives; it's full of fairies, and there are Flat Peaches that grant immortality when eaten!"

"Is that true?"

"Immortality is an exaggeration."

Su Yang played with the Nirvana Seed he had just obtained, speaking nonchalantly.

"However, the Flat Peaches there do contain Spiritual Qi; for an ordinary person, eating one bite is definitely enough to prolong life and beautify the skin."

"Beautify the skin?!"

Upon hearing these four words, the eyes of the three women in the car lit up simultaneously.

Even Chu Ling, who was already a Flying Zombie with skin so good it was explosive, couldn't help but touch her own face.

After all, no woman could resist the temptation of becoming more beautiful.

"Boss! I want to eat peaches too!"

Mary shouted while driving.

"I want the biggest, reddest ones! I heard those are the juiciest!"

"Alright, alright, there'll be plenty."

Su Yang smiled and put the seed away.

"The theme of this team-building trip is—eating, drinking, and having fun."

"Not only will we eat peaches, but we will also take a bath in that so-called 'Yaochi Holy Water'."

"I heard that was where fairies used to bathe; I wonder if it really smells like milk."

"..."

Reba blushed and spat softly.

"Boss, that's purely a hooligan's way of thinking!"

"This is called being a textual researcher."

Su Yang corrected her with a straight face.

"Conducting field research on the authenticity of mythological legends is a very serious academic matter."

As they spoke, the car drove into a valley shrouded in mist.

The mist here was not white but a pale pink, and the air was filled with a refreshing floral scent.

"Ahead is the entrance to Yaochi—Hundred Flower Valley."

Su Yang looked through the mist and activated his [Eye of Investigation].

He saw that at the entrance of the valley ahead, a massive white jade archway stood tall.

Engraved on the archway were three large gold-plated characters: [Yaochi Wonderland].

And under the archway, it was packed with various luxury cars, and there were even a few private helicopters.

A group of people dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, who clearly looked wealthy and influential, were lining up, holding various gift boxes, waiting anxiously.

"So many people..."

Reba looked at this scene in surprise.

"Isn't this place supposed to be hard to find? Why is it like a scenic spot ticket office?"

"Because today is the day of the 'Flat Peach Festival'."

Su Yang looked at the people in line, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Although Yaochi is a hidden Sect, they still need to eat and need resources."

"Every three years, they open up their outer areas to host the Flat Peach Festival, inviting the powerful from the secular world and Cultivators from the cultivation world to... deliver money."

"This is no wonderland, it's clearly a high-end club."

The car slowly stopped at the end of the line.

Immediately, two young women dressed in pink ancient-style gauze dresses with delicate features walked over.

Although they were pretty, their brows revealed an air of arrogance.

"What are you here for?"

One of the round-faced women knocked on the car window, glanced at the mud-splattered mercedes-benz g-class, and a flash of disdain appeared in her eyes.

"This is a restricted area of Yaochi, unauthorized persons are not allowed to approach."

"If you're here for sightseeing, turn right at the exit and go to the wild scenic spot next door."

Su Yang rolled down the car window, revealing his handsome face.

"Beauty, we are here to attend the Flat Peach Festival."

"Attend the Flat Peach Festival?"

The round-faced woman looked Su Yang up and down, then looked at the three women in the car.

Except for the one wearing a mask who looked like she had a good temperament, the other two looked strange no matter how you looked at them.

One had dyed blonde hair like a nightclub girl, and the other was wearing Qing Dynasty costume like a cosplayer.

This combination didn't look like big shots who could receive an invitation at all.

"Do you have an invitation?"

The woman held out a hand, her tone stiff.

"No."

Su Yang said truthfully.

He came here on a whim, where would he get an invitation?

"No invitation?"

The woman's face immediately turned cold.

"You dare to come join the fun without an invitation?"

"Do you think this is a vegetable market? Can any Tom, Dick, or Harry just walk in?"

"Get lost! Don't block the way for the distinguished guests behind!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand to drive them away.

"Hey! How are you talking!"

Mary's explosive temper flared up instantly, and she was about to push the door open to argue.

"Don't be impatient."

Su Yang held Mary down, maintaining his smile.

"Beauty, don't be so absolute with your words."

"I heard that besides an invitation, as long as you have enough sincerity, you can also get in?"

The so-called sincerity naturally refers to hard currency like Spirit Stones and Heaven And Earth Treasures.

"Sincerity?"

The round-faced woman sneered and pointed at a Rolls-Royce that had just passed security.

"See that car? That's the car of the Zhang family, the richest family in Jiangnan."

"They gifted a five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng just to exchange for a seat in the outer area."

"You're driving a crappy mercedes-benz g-class, what kind of sincerity can you produce?"

"Five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng?"

Su Yang curled his lips.

"You have the nerve to call that sincerity? My dog wouldn't even eat that."

"You!"

The woman was furious.

"What arrogance! How dare you insult Yaochi's distinguished guests!"

"Someone! Throw this troublemaker out!"

Following her order, several Yaochi female Disciples holding long swords immediately surrounded them, with swords drawn and bows bent.

The people lining up around them also poked their heads out to watch the excitement.

"Who is this kid? So arrogant?"

"He doesn't even have an invitation, and he dares to run wild at the gate of Yaochi?"

"Probably a gigolo trying to sneak in to hook a rich woman. Young people these days, tsk tsk..."

Facing the ridicule and siege of the crowd, Su Yang was unhurried.

He took something wrapped in a black plastic bag out of his pocket and tossed it to the round-faced woman.

"Catch."

"What kind of junk..."

The woman caught it subconsciously, only to feel her hand sink.

She opened the plastic bag to look.

Inside was a golden, arm-thick... bone?

And on this bone, there was a faint, sacred aura that made people want to prostrate and worship.

There were even wisps of purple electric arcs dancing on it!

"This... this is..."

Although the woman's cultivation wasn't high, she was still a Yaochi Disciple, and she had some discernment.

She could feel the terrifying energy contained in this bone!

This was definitely not an ordinary object!

"A little local specialty."

Su Yang leaned against the car window and said lazily.

"A rib of an ancient Thunder God; it should be quite fresh for making soup."

"Is this sincerity enough to exchange for a few tickets?"

"Thunder... Thunder God's rib?!"

The round-faced woman's hand shook, and she almost dropped the bone on the ground.

The hell, this isn't sincerity!

This is trying to blow up Yaochi, right?!

"En... enough..."

The woman stammered, her original arrogance instantly turning into awe.

"I didn't know a Senior had arrived... I apologize for the offense just now..."

"Please! Please come in!"

She hurriedly bowed and gestured for the others to let them pass.

"If you had done that earlier, it would have been fine."

Su Yang rolled up the car window and signaled for Mary to drive.

As the mercedes-benz g-class slowly drove into the white jade archway.

The onlookers behind were completely in an uproar.

"Holy crap? What was in that black plastic bag?"

"Thunder God's rib? Is it real or fake?"

"Whether it's real or fake, to be able to scare a Yaochi Disciple like that, he must be a big shot!"

"These days, are people who drive mercedes-benz g-class this low-key?"

Inside the car.

Reba looked back at the round-faced woman who was still in a daze and couldn't help but laugh.

"Boss, using that bone as a ticket, isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

"Extravagant?"

Su Yang shrugged.

"I have over a dozen of those things, they just take up space."

"And..."

Su Yang looked at the mist-shrouded mountain road ahead, a mischievous smile curling on his lips.

"This is called 'casting a brick to attract jade'."

"If I don't bring out something that can hold the scene, how can I draw out the real person in charge here?"

"I didn't come here just to eat a few peaches."
