The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Han Cuiyin and Yue Shuang descended along the inside of the tree trunk.

"Is that the light from the small fire over there?" Yue Shuang asked. "Can you sense it?"

The tree didn't look very tall from the outside, but once inside, they had already descended nearly a hundred meters and hadn't even reached the ground yet.

"It should be this one; the connection is stronger now. This tree is so strange. From the outside, it just looks old, but there's more to it than meets the eye."

Han Cuiyin frowned even more.

She and Qingyun had explored so many secret realms in the Realm of Immortality, but they had never encountered such a strange situation.

"It's alright, I'm here, I can always protect you." Yue Shuang said dismissively. Ever since the cracks on Mu Yu's body were mostly repaired, she had resumed her old ways from the world of immortality.

After descending nearly fifty meters, we finally reached the bottom.

The true fire of the sun had shrunk considerably and was much more withered than before.

"What happened to you? You ate so many good things to grow up, how come you've shrunk so much?" Han Cuiyin said with a pained expression.

She hasn't yet received any benefits from the True Fire of the Sun; instead, she'll have to take care of it first in the days to come.

If this fire hadn't been beneficial to her body, she would have preferred not to have made a pact with it.

Yue Shuang understood Han Cuiyin's thoughts perfectly. Knowing that Han Cuiyin was wavering, she quickly went to communicate with Xiao Huo.

Moon Frost and Little Fire communicated more smoothly, and Little Fire became more active than before.

Finally, a pile of stones was spat out from the true fire of the sun; they were the very stones that Han Cuiyin had just been swept away.

"Thank goodness we got it back." Han Cuiyin quickly put it away. "I only have 135 yuan here. Yue Shuang, you'll probably need to add 15 yuan."

After Yan Jue learned that many people wanted to exchange for the Divine Wood, he quietly increased the number of stones required for the exchange from fifty to one hundred and fifty.

Some people haven't even noticed these changes.

Taking advantage of her cultivation technique, Lian Yao led Han Yueshi, transforming them into black dots and black cubes, and quickly dispersed throughout Yan City.

Two hours later, they reunited.

"Here, this is for you. I happen to have a hundred coins left, and I want to exchange them for Divine Wood." Han Yueshi tossed the share she had just agreed to to Lian Yao and hurriedly called out to Yan Jue, "Senior, I want to exchange them."

Upon hearing the voice coming from the water mirror and confirming the location, Yan Jue instantly appeared in front of the two.

"So you're the girl who's been going against the younger generation of my Yan family?" Yan Jue glanced at the two of them sideways, secretly alarmed. He decided to observe this man closely in a moment.

“Senior, I was just joking with Sister Cuiyin. You won’t refuse to give me anything because of that, will you? Senior is of noble character and has the air of a sage. You certainly won’t hold a grudge against a young lady like me.”

Han Yueshi had suffered a lot of cold looks in modern times, but she was always able to bend and stretch. At this moment, she lowered her head and did not feel embarrassed.

Lian Yao, who was always the most powerful and influential person in the Immortal Realm, was displeased to be ignored by an old man who had lost his physical body. "You can't exchange items just because you don't have a good relationship with Han Cuiyin? Do you think that's your decision? The real master here didn't give you permission to act like this!"

Yan Jue's spirit was unstable, flickering, and his voice trembled, "How did you see through it?"

"Change the item! I have no need to explain things to you." Lian Yao's attitude was firm, and she seemed very confident.

At this moment, Yan Jue hesitated, wondering who this person was and how he could see through the key to this place.

"I want to exchange for Divine Wood!" Taking advantage of Yan Jue's distraction, Han Yueshi quickly placed one hundred stones on the ground. "These are one hundred stones, you can count them yourself!"

“Young lady, take a closer look at that slip of paper. One hundred yuan won’t get you the Divine Wood; now it’s one hundred and fifty yuan,” Yan Jue said calmly after regaining his composure.

"How is that possible! It was clearly one hundred yuan just now. Did you do it on purpose? If you can increase the exchange rate of Divine Wood, can't you increase the exchange rate of other things as well?" Han Yueshi raised her voice and glanced at Lian Yao.

She was not strong enough, and Yan Jue would not take her seriously. This man was not one to suffer losses. If he was willing to step forward, she might be able to exchange for the Divine Wood today.

"You can only change it three times, and you still have one more chance to change it, so don't worry about the quantity changing again, young lady. Instead of wasting your time stirring things up, you should gather the stones as soon as possible. As far as I know, you're not the only one who wants to exchange for this Divine Wood."

After Yan Jue finished speaking, he glanced at Lian Yao and then disappeared.

Lian Yao gave Han Yueshi a cold glance, then with a flick of her sleeve, Han Yueshi flew out. "I've warned you more than once, don't even think about letting me into your trap. You're not worthy! This is the last time."

Han Yueshi sneered, a faint trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. "I'm not worthy? Han Cuiyin is worthy? So what if you covet her? Her feelings for Luo Jingqian are different from everyone else's; even a blind person can see it! Han Cuiyin has never shown you any mercy; I didn't expect you to enjoy being tortured. Heh~"

Lian Yao disappeared without a word.

"Pah! What kind of taste do you have? I'm the most beautiful one, and I even have a cheat code. How dare you ignore me and hurt me repeatedly? You just wait!" Han Yueshi cursed a few times, feeling a little better.

Thinking of Yan Jue's words, she couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly went to find the missing stones.

Meanwhile, Yan Jue kept a close eye on Shui Jing after returning home.

After Lian Yao disappeared, he was puzzled. "This man's technique is strange. I've never heard of him before. It doesn't seem to be from the Leaf Village!"

Before he could think further, Han Cuiyin's voice came from the other water mirror, "Ancestor, I want to change something."

Yan Jue instantly appeared in front of her. "You little rascal, where did you come from? You don't need to look around. As long as one of you wants to exchange something, this place will naturally prevent others from peeping."

"I want to exchange it for Shenji Wood!" Han Cuiyin said directly, having no interest in engaging in idle chatter with him.

"You're also going to exchange for Divine Wood? What's so magical about this broken piece of wood that everyone's scrambling to exchange for it!" Yan Jue's eyes were inquisitive, trying to glean some clues from Han Cuiyin.

Han Cuiyin remained completely unmoved, ignoring Yan Jue's words entirely. "Ancestor, hurry up! I still need to continue searching."

"I can give it to you, but I have a question to ask!" Yan Jue took out the Divine Wood and waved it in front of Han Cuiyin a few times. "You must not hide anything from me, or I will not exchange it!"

"Say!"

Yan Jue was delighted. "Girl, let me ask you, your half-sister is always with a man. Do you know his background?"

"Lian Yao? He's a demonic cultivator. Give it to me!" Han Cuiyin snatched the Divine Wood and left, leaving Yan Jue jumping up and down in frustration.

"This girl, so impatient! So she really is a demonic cultivator. Demonic cultivators are good, this old man can finally be free."

Han Cuiyin went back to the big tree to find Yue Shuang, "Here, I've brought it for you! Don't keep asking 'What's this?' all the time."

Two clumps of things were curled up next to the True Fire of the Sun, and the ground was messy.
