I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Even the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had a day when she had to use her beauty, which many people found unreal.

This also shows the importance of this semi-divine herb to the Jade Pool Holy Land.

"In the struggle for opportunity, everyone has to rely on their own abilities. Yaochi Holy Land also gave it their all, so it deserves what it gets."

A godson of a great church couldn't resist speaking up for him.

Snapped!

The elder of the sect slapped his godson on the back of the head, then smiled at Shen Ming and said, "You guys continue, you guys continue!"

The teacher was unconvinced, but then he heard bursts of laughter from the side and realized what was happening.

In other places, Shen Ming's behavior would have angered the public and led to his being ostracized by various forces.

But this is the ancient treasure realm; without a Holy Emperor to open it, everything is just empty talk.

Shen Ming's actions were only directed at Di Ling's camp and his former enemies, which was understandable.

"I'm not buying it." Shen Ming ignored the beautiful eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"The semi-immortal medicine didn't exist in the Treasure Realm from the beginning. It grew over a long period of time, more than an era, where an eighth-tier demon guards it. We went to great lengths..."

The elders of the Holy Land tried to clarify this point with Shen Ming.

"I won't listen," Shen Ming interrupted her directly.

The group from Yaochi Holy Land were furious and began to communicate with each other using their spiritual senses. The Holy Maiden stepped back to keep her distance from Shen Ming.

It's clear they have no intention of handing over the elixir; they're going to fight tooth and nail!

Suddenly, they stopped in unison and shouted in one direction, "Welcome, Holy Lord!"

The Holy Lord of Yaochi has personally arrived?

Then they saw the clouds and mist within the treasure disperse like flowing water, forming a winding path of rosy light that stretched into the depths of the void.

The Holy Lord of Yaochi wore a white robe, as pure and clean as water, without any frivolous adornments, yet every fold of his robe exuded undeniable nobility and elegance.

Her long, black hair was loosely tied up, her face was as white as snow, her lips were naturally red, and there was a vast and serene aura between her brows and eyes.

She appeared in the Treasure Realm without being rejected or suppressed!

“Your Highness, our Yaochi Holy Land wishes to purchase this semi-immortal medicine from you.”

At this moment, the projection of the Holy Lord of Yaochi appeared out of thin air in the Treasure Realm.

Her address was very particular; it was once Di Ling's, acknowledging Shen Ming's identity.

"Call me Holy Emperor, how do you plan to buy it?" Shen Ming asked.

Exclamations of surprise rang out; the person before them was a powerful figure of the ancient era, a sect leader level!

"What we obtained from the Yaochi Holy Land is not a semi-immortal medicine, but an elixir of immortality."

The difference is that its current value is enough to exchange for a semi-immortal herb, but it requires a long period of time to cultivate into a mature herb, which requires a stable environment. It's useless to you if you take it," said the Holy Lord of Yaochi.

Above the elixir of immortality are the elixirs of half-immortality and the elixirs of immortality

Above all elixirs is the elixir of immortality!

"You might think I'm lying, but this elixir of immortality was planted in the ancient treasure realm by the Holy Lord of Yaochi in the previous era," the Holy Lord of Yaochi added.

No one doubts that the Eternal Giants have no need to lie.

Immediately afterwards, the Holy Lord of Yaochi added, "We are willing to buy it from you for its equal value."

"Should it be calculated as a semi-immortal medicine or a longevity medicine?" Shen Ming asked.

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Jade Pool Holy Land were both anxious and angry, as the elixir of immortality would not mature until at least the next era.

Now, if we consider it as an elixir of immortality, it's even more greedy than the gluttonous beast.

"Then let's calculate it as an elixir of immortality."

The Holy Master of Yaochi made a surprising statement, one that even Shen Ming himself hadn't expected.

The Holy Lord gently raised her jade hand, and a shimmering white light slowly emerged from her palm, rising like the mist of early morning, making her appear as if a deity had descended to earth.

As the light gradually coalesced, a blurry phantom appeared, and the world changed color, as if all things held their breath in an instant.

When the phantom first appeared, it was like the beginning of chaos, formless and shapeless.

A moment later, a scene appeared, with shimmering light, as if isolated from the mortal world, forming a pure land of its own.

"That's the Jade Pool! The legendary Immortal Pool!"

In the center of the fairy pool, a huge stone structure stands silently.

Its entire body is ancient and rustic, as if it has traveled from the primordial wilderness. The stone surface is covered with natural patterns, which seem to intertwine into some kind of mysterious runes. Each pattern flows with indescribable mysteries of heaven and earth, as if explaining the origin and end of the universe.

"A nine-aperture stone embryo! Legend has it that it can give birth to a powerful holy spirit, capable of sweeping across the heavens and the earth." Someone exclaimed.

The Holy Lord of Yaochi was very satisfied with this reaction.

"The Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth in the Immortal Pool for ten thousand years. Its value is comparable to the elixir of immortality. Recently, it has shown faint signs of leaving its body. The Holy Emperor can come to my holy land to retrieve it at any time."

The last sentence was tinged with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

When Shen Ming mentioned discussing the Dao at the Holy Land last time, taking the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo with him was just a convenient thing to do.

You spoke so confidently, surely you won't be too afraid to come now.

Shen Ming inquired about Jian Li's information regarding the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo.

"It's not a loss. You really don't have the conditions to cultivate the elixir of immortality right now, so it would be a waste to have it."

Even if the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo cannot leave its body, it can still be sold as a celestial medicine. Jian Li did the math for him.

"When will it leave your body?" Shen Ming asked.

"We can't say for sure about such a celestial object. It might take a year, or it might take a hundred years. If the Holy Emperor is a person destined by Heaven, he might even leave his body because of you." The Holy Master of Yaochi spoke without any hesitation.

"it is good."

Shen Ming agreed, with all forces bearing witness, and was not afraid that the Holy Lord would renege on the debt.

Moreover, it is not suitable to retrieve either the elixir of immortality or the nine-aperture stone embryo now; they should be stored in the sacred land of Yaochi for the time being.

"Very good."

The Holy Lord of Yaochi smiled with satisfaction, and led the people of the Holy Land back up the passage they had come from, leaving the Treasure Realm.

Before leaving, she glanced at Li Miaozhen, her eyes revealing regret.

"The ancient holy land's foundation is indeed strong enough," Shen Ming muttered to himself.

Neither the Tianchi Clan nor the Tianshen Academy outside could do anything about the Treasure Realm.

This is the gap.

Inside the passage, Qin Yao couldn't help but ask, "Holy Lord, is the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo really about to leave its body?"

"Isn't the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo supposed to always show signs of leaving the body?" said the Holy Lord of Yaochi.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yao felt relieved.

The Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo is a treasure of heaven and earth. Although there has been no activity in recent years, judging from the aura it emits, its value far exceeds that of the elixir of immortality.

She couldn't bear to give it to Shen Ming.

However, the nine-aperture stone embryo was always in a state of being about to emerge from the body and not emerging from the body.

Moreover, the nine-aperture stone embryo cannot move without leaving its body.

Even powerful beings from the Immortal Realm couldn't take the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo away.

"Wonderful."

Qin Yao praised the Holy Lord's intelligence, saying that he didn't tell a single lie.

If Shen Ming himself can't figure out the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo in the future, who can he blame?

“We can play a trick on him, tell him he is a chosen one, a destined person waiting for him in the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo, and then let him leave empty-handed. That would definitely be interesting.”

Qin Yao was full of mischief because Shen Ming had just told her he wouldn't buy into that kind of thing.

As a woman, and a beautiful woman at that, I care a lot about this.

The Holy Lord of Yaochi smiled without saying a word.

This implies tacit approval, indicating that even the Holy Lord harbors dissatisfaction with Shen Ming!
