Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1857: Chapter 163: Green Fern the Wealthy Lady! Lavish Spending on Wang Shouzhe

…

The Honored One’s return?

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Especially the Third Prince, Shentu Jingming, whose face was filled with disbelief: “Lil Artifact Spirit, you must be mistaken, right? This girl, from start to finish, has no trace of being the formidable Honored One! One of the Ten Great Heroes…”

“Nonsense!” Artifact Spirit Lan Shan immediately became angry, scolding, “How dare you speak such nonsense in front of the Honored One?! I am the Artifact Spirit personally crafted by the Honored One, how could I mistake her?”

“This…”

The Third Prince still showed some suspicion, but in his heart, he was mostly convinced.

Because as time passed, the aura of the girl grew increasingly formidable, giving him a feeling similar to when his family’s Demon Emperor Old Ancestor would call him over for reprimand.

“This aura, this pressure, is indeed extraordinary.” Zuo Lao’s eyes narrowed, his expression complex and unreadable. “Never did I imagine that the famed Demonic Plant Honored One, one of the Ten Great Heroes, would actually succeed in reincarnation.”

“It’s not reincarnation.” Artifact Spirit Lan Shan corrected them solemnly, “I can feel it; she is indeed the Honored One’s original body. It seems like another experiment at the Honored One’s other research facility has succeeded. I knew it, the Honored One is the most formidable!”

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions full of disbelief.

They had heard of True Immortal and True Demon reincarnations and even encountered them. Even if they truly encountered one, it wouldn’t be particularly surprising. But rebirth, that was somewhat beyond their grasp.

Although throughout history, various novels have never lacked stories of powerful beings returning from rebirth, and this genre has persisted over time, with some renowned ancient powerhouses having dozens or hundreds of different versions of rebirth stories.

But these stories were just for entertainment.

Everyone knew how unreliable rebirth was.

Although a True Immortal Realm powerhouse lives a long life, there is ultimately a limit.

Currently, the recorded True Immortal Realm powerhouses, not counting those who fell unexpectedly, the ones who died of old age, lived for at least eight thousand nine hundred years, and the longest for twelve thousand years. This was because she had fortuitous encounters in her youth beyond the domain, extending her lifespan through Heaven and Earth Treasures, breaking through the lifespan limits of the True Immortal Realm.

As for true rebirth, since the establishment of the Immortal-Demon Dynasties, it has never truly occurred.

Is what the Artifact Spirit said true or false?

Could it be that it misjudged and mistook a True Spirit reincarnation or a special bloodline transmission as rebirth? Or did someone truly accomplish such research back then?

The minds of the people were filled with doubt, yet Wang Shouzhe did not doubt the Artifact Spirit’s judgment. He was more concerned with another piece of information revealed by the Artifact Spirit earlier—another research facility.

Wang Shouzhe frowned in thought.

He knew a bit about Green Fern’s origins. She was a baby picked up from the ruins by Master Changchun. To keep her identity secret and avoid bringing her trouble, Master Changchun claimed she was an adopted orphan.

Now it seems that those ruins were far from ordinary.

After all, where in ordinary ruins could one happen upon a True Immortal reincarnation, or rather, a True Immortal body? At the very least, it would have to be True Immortal Ruins comparable to this place.

However, this was considered a core secret of the Academic Palace, and since Wang Shouzhe was not a formal disciple of the Purple Abode Academic Palace, it was normal for Master Changchun to keep some reservations.

But given this, it seems that the ruins explored by Liu Xuanfu Old Ancestor and her Master were probably the same as the one where they found Green Fern. After all, ruins of this level were not common, and being discovered at the same time point made it even more unlikely.

So, what was the purpose of the Innate Dao fetus spirit seed that Xuanfu Old Ancestor inadvertently obtained back then? Could it also have a connection to the Demonic Plant Honored One?

The more Wang Shouzhe thought, the more he felt something was amiss, with a vague speculation on the verge of emerging in his mind.

Even with his composure, he felt a wave of unease.

After all, this concerned his dearest person, Liu Ruolan, and he could not help but be nervous.

“The Honored One is currently in a special state, seemingly awakening some sealed memories.” Artifact Spirit Lan Shan finally calmed down from the excitement of the Demonic Plant Honored One’s resurrection and began to usher people out, “Guests, please leave for now and return to pay respects once the Honored One has completed the awakening.”

Just like that, they were ushered into the corridor.

Due to Green Fern’s sudden change in status, everyone’s minds were somewhat distracted at the moment. Zuo Lao and Ji Yueer, these two Void Realm powerhouses, frowned, deep in thought.

On the contrary, the inconsequential Third Prince Shentu Jingming immediately went to chat with Wang Shouzhe as soon as he left the room: “I’m telling you, virtuous brother, what is the origin of your red beauty? She is the reincarnation of the Demonic Plant Honored One!”

Wang Shouzhe ignored him, instead supporting Old Ancestor Longyan to another place: “Old Ancestor, since we’re idle anyway, why not find something to do? These are tea leaves brought by the younger generation at home for you to try.”

With that, he took out chairs and a set of exquisite tea utensils, brewing a pot of Li Xian Brand Immortal Tea for Old Ancestor Longyan.

This was made using the young bud leaves personally shed by Li Xian’s body, with only a few ounces collected, specifically reserved as a tribute to Old Ancestor Longyan.

Once brewed, the fresh aroma of the tea spread instantly, filled with immortal charm, containing a refreshing life energy that invigorated the spirit.

“Good tea, good tea~ Let me have a sip too.”
