Inside the room, Xuan Ruoyan stood wearing a qipao, smiling as she watched Ye Luo.
"Good day, sir. Here are the jade fragnts, Blood Spirit Fruit, and tal Origin Bead for your inspection," she said.
With a wave of her hand, a man beside her brought out the jade fragnts, Blood Spirit Fruit, and tal Origin Bead. Ye Luo casually glanced over them, nodded, and then produced several bottles of Elixirs.
All of these were Body Tempering Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, and Soul Condensing Pills. Fortunately, he had brought enough Elixirs for today; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been enough. At the sa ti, he took out a bank card to pay for the jade fragnts and stowed away the fragnts, Blood Spirit Fruit, and tal Origin Bead.
"Sir, may I ask you a question?" she inquired.
At this mont, Xuan Ruoyan’s lips parted slightly, her eyes captivating as they looked at Ye Luo.
"I never refuse a request from a beautiful woman," Ye Luo said with a smile.
"To produce so many Elixirs at once, you must have an Alchemist by your side, right?" Xuan Ruoyan’s eyes fixated on Ye Luo.
"Oh, these Elixirs? Just sothing I ca across casually. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."
Ye Luo smirked and headed straight out, while Xuan Ruoyan’s lips curved into a Yan Ran smile.
"Truly an interesting fellow," she murmured.
After leaving the backstage, Ye Luo entered a restroom. With a concentrated thought, the Superior grade Sanqing Pill Furnace filled with Spiritual Energy appeared before him. Ye Luo placed the fragnts, Blood Spirit Fruit, and tal Origin Bead into the Pill Furnace, then stored it within his Dantian.
"It seems this thod isn’t bad at all. Why didn’t I think of it earlier?"
Ye Luo muttered to himself. Before, he had worried that carrying the Blood Spirit Fruit and tal Origin Bead out openly was too dangerous. It was Xiao Ling who had made this suggestion, effectively using the Sanqing Pill Furnace as a Storage Ring. Indeed, this thod was clever; it was very secure and he did not fear it being stolen.
Imdiately after, Ye Luo used a Silver Needle to prick himself a few tis, restoring his original appearance before he walked out.
"Sect Leader Duan!"
Ye Luo had only just left the restroom when he ran into Duan Ningyu, with Shui Lanxin following close by.
"Sect Leader Duan, what brings you here?" Ye Luo asked.
"You don’t need to hide it from , Mr. Ye. The person who bid for the tal Origin Bead was you, right? Even though you changed your appearance, your build and clothes have not changed," Duan Ningyu said sternly, her gaze fixed on Ye Luo.
A wry smile crept across Ye Luo’s face, realizing he couldn’t really fool anyone with his change of appearance. If he had known, he would have disguised himself before coming, which would have prevented anyone from recognizing him.
"If Sect Leader Duan has anything to say, please speak freely," Ye Luo said.
"Mr. Ye, you should understand my intention. Now that both the tal Origin Bead and Fire Origin Pearl are in your hands, I hope you can hand them over to . As long as you’re willing to give them to , I will do my best to satisfy any of your desires."
"Really?"
"Of course," Duan Ningyu nodded.
"Including yourself?"
A playful smile appeared on Ye Luo’s lips as he looked at Duan Ningyu, whose face suddenly changed, and a flicker of an unusual expression passed through her eyes.
"Young man, what nonsense are you spouting? How dare you show disrespect to our Sect Leader!"
Shui Lanxin’s expression darkened, and a formidable aura emanated from her, enveloping Ye Luo and making him feel a sense of oppression. However, he showed no fear.
"Sect Leader Duan, you just said that you would try your best to satisfy everything I want, didn’t you? Or did I misunderstand, or did you misspeak?"
Ye Luo spoke with an indifferent expression, a playful smile lingering on the corners of his mouth.
"Mr. Ye, this kind of joke isn’t funny!"
Duan Ningyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, gleaming with an unusual brilliance as she spoke.
"I’m not joking. If you want the tal Origin Bead and Fire Origin Pearl, then let’s trade you for them. How about it?"
Ye Luo said with utter seriousness, his eyes filled with genuine sincerity.
Shui Lanxin, standing to the side, withdrew her imposing aura, her gaze flickering constantly.
As for Duan Ningyu, her expression changed repeatedly, and after a mont of silence, she said, "Mr. Ye, I do not wish to be your enemy, but if you truly insist on this, then I will have to employ so unnecessary thods."
"These tal Origin Bead and Fire Origin Pearl are the Five Elents Sect’s treasures, and I must take them back. Moreover, Mr. Ye, you are already being targeted, and even if I do not take action, I’m afraid others will. In the end, your fate will be quite miserable. If you’re willing to give the two beads, I can ensure your safety."
"Five Elents Sect, I hadn’t expected it still existed!"
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out, causing Duan Ningyu and Shui Lanxin’s expressions to shift as they swiftly turned their gazes in the direction of the voice to see the War God approaching slowly.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the War God, Duan Ningyu spoke with a sowhat solemn expression, the other’s silent appearance there had caught her completely off guard, which disquieted her.
Most importantly, the War God had ntioned the Five Elents Sect. Should the news of its continued existence spread, it would be a major blow to the Five Elents Sect as it stood today.
"Hello, I am the team captain of the War God team from the Huaxia military district, War God," the War God said calmly to Duan Ningyu.
"The War God team?"
Duan Ningyu’s expression changed. Although she had never t the War God, she had heard of the formidable War God and his team. She hadn’t expected that the man before her was the War God himself.
And his strength was unfathomable; Duan Ningyu couldn’t detect any trace of his aura, but the more indiscernible it was, the more it proved the War God’s might.
"May I know what brings the War God team captain here..." Duan Ningyu asked, looking at the War God with a flickering gaze.
"Ye Luo is my friend. If anyone wants to trouble him, then I will certainly help," the War God said with a steady tone.
Duan Ningyu’s eyes narrowed as she glanced at Ye Luo and said, "In that case, I won’t impose any further. Mr. Ye, we’ll talk another day."
After that, Duan Ningyu and the others left the place.
"Team Captain, thank you!"
Ye Luo looked at the War God and expressed his gratitude.
"I hadn’t expected the Five Elents Sect to still exist, let alone make an appearance. They must have co for the tal Origin Bead, right?" the War God said, looking at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo nodded and asked, "Team Captain, do you know of this Five Elents Sect?"
"The Five Elents Sect was one of the top forces among the Hidden Sects a hundred years ago, and they were also a subordinate force of the Holy Sky Alliance. Back then, with the Holy Sky Alliance’s support, their influence was imnse,"
"But after the Holy Sky Alliance was besieged, Sheng Tianyang fell, and the Alliance was forced to dissolve. The Five Elents Sect also suffered from the encirclent of those powers, taking heavy losses until they finally vanished without a trace. I hadn’t expected they had endured for such a long ti, still existing."
The War God spoke dispassionately.
"These Five Elents Origin Pearls are the Five Elents Sect’s treasured possessions; now that you have acquired them, they will not let matters rest. You must be careful," the War God cautioned.
