Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Duan Hong and Liu Yu'er, who were standing nearby, suddenly remembered and quickly handed over the betting receipts.

"Senior sister..." the two of them called out with smiles.

However, Su Lingyi and Huang Ruxin's expressions were not very good. Ye Wuxi's combat power was beyond people's imagination. Although the odds were adjusted in time, they did not lose too much money. But after all that trouble, they still did not make much money.

"Junior Brother Duan, here are your twelve thousand spirit stones."

"Junior Sister Liu, here are your seven thousand spirit stones."

After a slight sigh, the two girls waved their hands and handed over the corresponding spirit stones to them.

Even Duan Hong's usually composed face couldn't help but show a smile; he had made the most money this time...

After a series of actions by the group, everyone finally came to their senses from that final sword strike.

"Damn it, that damned Cheung Ho-nam..."

"My spirit stones are all gone!"

"..."

The insults and curses were incessant, and no one in eight generations of Zhang Haonan's ancestors escaped them. Only then did people start to "care" about Zhang Haonan's life or death.

Seeing Zhang Haonan lying half-dead on the ground, those who had lost all their spirit stones couldn't help but curse and give him another kick. Anyway, Zhang Haonan wouldn't recover for at least three months, so what was there to be afraid of...

Some were happy while others were resentful. Those who followed the bets that Ye Wuxi would win were all smiles, and some even regretted not betting more.

Jiang Chen and the others were somewhat annoyed. They had quite a few spirit stones. Although they felt that Ye Wuxi was a bit strange, they still bet on her to win. However, they weren't really confident. They didn't expect that this strange Ye Wuxi would actually win.

Leaving the crowd, Ye Wuxi, Duan Hong, and Liu Yu'er walked side by side on the mountain path.

Ye Wuxi looked at the gentle and refined man with a hint of resentment, "I fought my butt off and still didn't earn as much as Brother Duan. What kind of world is this..."

She only earned nine thousand spirit stones with Zhang Haonan's spirit stones, while Duan Hong earned ten thousand spirit stones without doing anything. Why didn't she encounter such a good thing? Alas, heaven is blind!

"Brother Duan, why don't you go and challenge someone to a fight, and we can make a bet and have some fun..." Liu Yu'er suddenly said excitedly.

Duan Hong calmly replied, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. The top outer sect disciple has fallen; who would still send spirit stones? They can't possibly compare to the inner sect disciples..."

Ye Wuxi lowered her head and sighed, "Why am I not destined to enjoy a life of happiness..."

Duan Hong chuckled softly, "How about I share some with Wuxi..."

"No, I was just joking..." Ye Wuxi quickly said with a smile.

They didn't wander around aimlessly. They returned to their lodgings and went to their respective rooms to focus on their cultivation.

With only two months left until the outer sect competition, although the previous outer sect champion has fallen, the competition seems to be a foregone conclusion. However, no one can say for sure until the very end, as enlightenment can happen in an instant.

The top ten disciples of the outer sect will not only be able to change to better accommodations, but will also gain the right to cultivate in the lower levels of the cultivation room... The top three disciples can go to the second level of the Martial Arts Pavilion to exchange for a low-grade Earth-rank martial arts technique or cultivation method.

Ye Wuxi naturally didn't want to miss out on the numerous benefits; winning first place would be the best outcome.

Inside the room, Ye Wuxi closed her eyes slightly and began to circulate the Chaos Five Elements Technique, frantically absorbing spiritual energy. In recent battles and alchemy, her true energy had become much more refined. As long as she had enough spiritual energy, she could try to break through to the next level without worrying about an unstable foundation.

Early the next morning, Ye Wuxi, who was still cultivating, suddenly received a telepathic message.

"Girl, come here for a moment."

No one knows what Old Man Crimson Flame did to their identity jade tokens, but all the disciples on Medicine Peak can receive his telepathic messages. Of course, it's said that these messages only work within the sect; that's Old Man Crimson Flame's rule—he's available whenever they call! Of course, these messages are only one-way; Old Man Crimson Flame can give them orders, but they can't reply…

Ye Wuxi shook her head helplessly, tidied herself up, and then left the room for Medicine Peak.

"Master! Senior Brother is here too!" Ye Wuxi stepped into the secret chamber at the top of Medicine Peak, only to see an unexpected figure in red: Huo Yun!

"Junior Sister, good morning!" Although Huo Yun was a man, he had phoenix eyes and wore a red robe. His face, which was both wicked and noble, was full of aura.

Looking at his lazy appearance, Ye Wuxi couldn't help but secretly admire him, what a handsome man!

Seeing a handsome man early in the morning is naturally more pleasant than seeing an old man, so Ye Wuxi asked with a smile, "Master summoned me, is there something you need?"

"Hmph, don't think that just because you defeated that so-called number one outer sect disciple, you can slack off on alchemy. You weren't planning to come if I hadn't summoned you... And you brat, what are you doing here if I didn't call you..."

The old man with the Crimson Flame looked at the two people in the room, and no matter how he looked at them, he couldn't stand them. If that old geezer knew about his two disciples, he would be so envious. Unfortunately, neither of them had their minds on alchemy...

Huo Yun smirked and said, "What, now that Master has a junior sister, are you really going to kick me, your eldest disciple, out the door?"

"Get out of here, don't think I don't know what you're thinking..." Old Man Chi Huo waved his hand and said, this brat definitely didn't come to see his master.

Ye Wuxi scratched his head, "Master, why are you so angry so early in the morning? I didn't say I wasn't coming..."

"Alright, Huo Yun's arrival is just in time. I need a Thousand-Petal Ice Lotus. You two, go down the mountain to the Imperial City Auction House and see if they have it. If not, just pay the auction house to find it..."

Huo Yun was somewhat speechless. "You old man, you need me to run errands just to find some medicinal herbs? I'm not going!"

With your status, it's just a small medicinal herb; you could have simply made a statement, why waste his and his junior sister's time...?

"Yes, Master, you don't need me and my senior brother to run errands for such a small matter. My cultivation level is not high. What if we get killed if we go to the Imperial City..."

The old man with the Crimson Flame said irritably, "What do you two know? This Thousand-Petal Ice Lotus grows in extremely cold places. Ordinary martial artists have no access to it, nor would they ever have one. Only powerful auction houses like these have a chance of obtaining one..."

"I'm not going then. You can just entrust the auction house to me yourself. Don't bother me and my junior sister..." Huo Yun said lazily.

Hearing his impolite words, the old man with the Crimson Flame wanted nothing more than to slap him to death, but he held back. "I received a last-minute invitation to attend the Pharmacist Conference in the Dynasty. Time is short. I will also search in the Royal City, but I cannot overlook the Purple Cloud Imperial City and the Dragon Origin Imperial City. I'm leaving it to you. If you find anything, you must obtain it..."
