The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

"I……"

Xiao Yi, who was filled with rage, was instantly calmed down when he met Chu Yao's cold, piercing gaze.

"Xiao Yizi, you're too impulsive, sigh..."

The old man with the ring let out a sigh.

His disciple was young and impetuous, with a restless mind. He had some cleverness, but no wisdom whatsoever.

If it weren't for him constantly cleaning up my messes, I don't know how many times I would have died.

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

Xiao Yi panicked a little.

After all, he was facing a behemoth whose influence extended throughout the entire Desolate Ancient Realm.

“Show her the Medicine King Valley True Inheritance Token, explain it clearly in public, and apologize sincerely.”

The old man with the ring said this.

"If only the teacher had a solution..." Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and tossed the token away.

"I am a true disciple of Medicine King Valley. I acted impulsively just now and offended you in many ways. I hope Fairy Chu Yao will forgive me."

Chu Yao took the token and carefully examined it with her divine sense. It was indeed the token of a true disciple of Medicine King Valley.

But why didn't Chu Yao believe it?

Xiao Yi is simply too different from the true disciples of Medicine King Valley.

Medicine King Valley is an immortal lineage, renowned throughout the world for cultivating spiritual herbs and refining elixirs.

The entire sect was incredibly wealthy, and the one thing they had in abundance was spirit stones.

Each true disciple who has gone out into the world for training has little else to offer but is so poor that all they have left are spirit stones and elixirs.

Each of them is wealthy, arrogant, and haughty.

They never ask the price when buying or selling things.

On the other hand, Xiao Yi acted as if he had never seen spirit stones in eight lifetimes. He wanted to sell a single spirit pill as if it were two, and argued with her for a long time over a few hundred spirit stones, just like a desperate rogue cultivator.

So, this token of a true disciple of Medicine King Valley couldn't have been stolen, could it?

But that’s not right either.

The tokens of the true disciples of Medicine King Valley are all registered and have tracking and location markers.

Once the owner dies, Medicine King Valley will send powerful warriors to hunt him down.

"Hmm... no, this token has no identity information, it's an unclaimed token."

Chu Yao narrowed her eyes slightly.

There are only two possibilities for this to happen.

One of them was stolen from the Void Realm elder of Medicine King Valley.

Secondly, it was stolen. A powerful figure at the King Realm or above intervened and erased the tracking mark without damaging the token.

Regardless of the possibility, Xiao Yi is no ordinary person; he has powerful figures at the King Realm or above backing him up.

Thinking of this, Chu Yao calmly returned the token to Xiao Yi.

"It won't happen again."

She originally intended to kill Xiao Yi to establish her authority, but since Xiao Yi had a powerful expert at the King Realm or above protecting him, she had no choice but to give up.

After all, Xiao Yi had already admitted his mistake, and Wanbaolou hadn't suffered any losses.

In business, harmony is the key to making money.

There's no need to make an enemy of Xiao Yi's protector over such a trivial matter.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Fairy Chu Yao."

Xiao Yi put away the token, thanked him, but his expression was one of extreme frustration and anger.

"Teacher, Wanbaolou is really a big store that bullies its customers, bullies the weak and fears the strong. They won't even let us ask a question."

"If it weren't for the teacher's token scaring her off today, things probably wouldn't have turned out well."

"When I become strong, I will definitely avenge today's humiliation a hundredfold."

As he spoke, Xiao Yi's handsome face revealed a determined look, eager to become a strong person and slap Chu Yao in the face.

"It's good that you know. Focus on your cultivation and don't act so impulsively in the future."

"The old man with the ring said quietly."

"Don't worry, teacher, I promise it won't happen again. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

After a pause, he asked again, "Teacher, do we still want to join Wanbaolou as serving alchemists?"

"..."

The old man with the ring silently questioned the heavens.

Having caused such a huge mess and offended Chu Yao, how could he still want to swindle Wanbaolou?

Are you just thick-skinned or brainless?

"We can't join Wanbaolou, and we can't stay in Qingzhou either. After the auction, we'll leave Qingzhou immediately and live in anonymity for a while."

"Why?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled.

"Even if Chu Yao knew I wasn't a true disciple of Medicine King Valley, didn't that still scare her?"

"If all else fails, we can disguise ourselves and continue to serve as alchemists under a different identity."

They had initially agreed that he would become a certified alchemist at Wanbaolou and use the store's medicinal herbs to refine pills.

By the way, I'll ask Wanbaolou to help me find a precious medicine for nourishing spiritual herbs.

At the same time, they can also receive the protection of Wanbaolou.

Joining Wanbaolou had so many benefits that Xiao Yi was unwilling to give up.

"No."

"If Chu Yao leaks our information to Medicine King Valley, they will definitely send powerful experts to investigate," said the old man with the ring.

"But……"

Xiao Yi had a hunch that joining Wanbaolou would bring him great fortune.

His intuition has always been accurate and has never been wrong.

Since his debut, he has relied on his intuition to gain countless opportunities.

This time will certainly be no exception.

"No buts, we can't take the risk."

The old man with the ring spoke with a furious tone.

If Xiao Yi doesn't argue with Chu Yao over every little thing and doesn't speak carelessly, joining Wanbaolou is almost a certainty.

He had a winning hand, but Xiao Yi played it terribly.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get; I feel like killing someone.

"Teacher, fortune favors the bold. Why don't we talk to Chu Yao first? If things don't work out, we can leave then."

Informing Medicine King Valley will bring generous rewards.

But Wanbaolou is a behemoth, a super overlord. As the daughter of the president, Chu Yao has a noble status and would definitely not care about that small reward.

If he offers a price that Chu Yao is tempted, there might still be a chance for cooperation.

Xiao Yi didn't want to give up as long as there was even the slightest chance.

"..."

The old man with the ring really couldn't understand Xiao Yi's thought process.

While thinking about joining Wanbaolou, he also deliberately offended Chu Yao in order to take revenge on Wanbaolou.

...

After the auction ended, Chu Yao went directly to Gu Qing's private room and took out her spatial jade bottle.

"Young Master Gu, this is the flesh and blood of a demon beast that I transferred from another branch."

"So fast?"

Gu Qing asked in surprise.

In just two days after the auction, Chu Yao had bought the monster.

They are incredibly efficient.

He scanned the ten spatial jade bottles with his divine sense and found that they were filled with the flesh and blood of demonic beasts.

The lowest level of all the monsters are level three or above, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

"These flesh and blood parts are worthless to demonic beasts, but they are suitable for alchemy and weapon crafting. Young Master Gu, would you like them?"

Chu Yao asked with a smile.

"No need, these are fine."

The parts used for alchemy and weapon crafting are too expensive. With that money, it would be better to buy a dozen more monster flesh and blood.

Moreover, what he needs is the flesh and blood of living monsters, from which pure monster elixir can be extracted.

It has to be said that Chu Yao understands him.

Know what he needs.

Making a deal with her was incredibly comfortable.

Thinking about it, Gu Qing asked.

"How many spirit stones?"

"Three hundred and sixty billion high-grade spirit stones."

"How many?"

"A total of 36.7 billion high-grade spirit stones, I'll round it down for you."

Seeing Gu Qing's loss of composure, Chu Yao narrowed her fox-like eyes, a sly smile appearing in them.

"And this is only the first batch. There are five more batches to come. I have already transferred monster flesh and blood from other continents, and they should arrive in about three days."

"A total of 270 billion high-grade spirit stones."

"In addition, there is..."

"stop."

Gu Qing couldn't listen anymore.

If this little vixen keeps talking, wouldn't that amount to trillions?

He was just a minor Xuan Dan cultivator, yet he was burdened with a debt of trillions.

Just thinking about it made Gu Qing's heart tremble.

"Chu Yao, I really underestimated your strength." Gu Qing looked at her resentfully.

His original intention was to take as many demonic beasts as there were in Qingzhou.

I thought the maximum would be a few hundred billion.

Who would have thought that Chu Yao would directly transfer the flesh and blood of monsters from other continents?

How dare Chu Yao let him buy so much on credit?

Aren't you afraid he won't be able to repay the debt?

Do the higher-ups at Wanbaolou have no objections?
