antly and reached out to take his arm."Let's go."At this moment, the two were touching each other, truly experiencing skin-to-skin contact. Alicisca's smooth skin pressed against him without any hind...The Sword Emperor said, "As far as I know, a hundred years ago, Kou Hongchat of the Xingyao Sect once obtained a withered leaf lingzhi."

Furthermore, Ni Sasa Kong of the Lingxiao Sect obtained a sprig of Mazhu Zijin Teng at the auction. It has not been heard of being sold, so it should still be in his possession.

"Speaking of which, he changed the subject: "However, these two people don't seem to have a good relationship with you now. It will be difficult to get those two treasures from them."

Ye Bufan said: "Thank you for the advice, senior. I will find a way."

After that, he returned to his room and organized the materials in his hands. He then refined a furnace of Emperor Hua Dan and Emperor Kun Dan.

After doing all this, about two hours passed, and it was time to continue refining the pills for the five major sects.

As soon as the door opened, Ni Sa walked in with a cheerful smile.

Now he has recovered his former roguish appearance. If one hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they couldn't possibly imagine that this very person had been locked in a ferocious battle with the Starry Glory Sect just recently.

"Prince Ye Dan, I apologize for any previous offenses. Please accept this gift as a token of my remorse!"

This guy is playing it cool, like everything that happened before was just a misunderstanding.

Ni Sa Kong is a cunning old fox who knows when to strike and when to yield.

Begging someone to refine pills right now, if your attitude is bad, they'll really refine a low-grade pill for you in one furnace. Then you'll be the one who loses out big time.

"Master, I apologize for my previous words. In the heat of the moment, I spoke recklessly and may have offended you. Please forgive me."

Ye Bufan rose to greet him, also lowering his posture.

"This matter between you and me is just a misunderstanding. If anyone deserves blame, it's the Xingyao Sect."

It's truly despicable how they, having attacked the powerful figures of your sect, would dare to frame me instead!

At this point, he was visibly angry, clearly very dissatisfied with the Star-Enlightenment Sect.

Ni Saku's face darkened, and a flash of hatred appeared in his eyes.

"You're right, my Lingxiao Sect has no grievances with them. I never expected them to poison our powerful disciples."

"You're right, you need to settle the score with people like that."

Ye Bufan said angrily, "Sect Master, what about that useless Second Elder of theirs Was he killed to avenge the dead"

His words seemed to take sides with the Lingxiao Sect, but Ni Sako felt a little awkward hearing them.

"The strength of the Starlit Sect is truly formidable. We fought fiercely, and several people died on both sides, but our strengths are evenly matched, and for the time being, we could not determine a victor."

"But I've taken note of this, and I will definitely seek revenge from Lingxiao Sect for this."

"You're right, a gentleman doesn't bear grudges. If we let that Second Elder live comfortably, where would the face of Lingxiao Sect be"

"Such despicable people deserve to pay the price, but unfortunately, my abilities are too weak to help."

Ye Bufan said at last, with a face full of regret, as if he felt ashamed that he couldn't take action against Xingyao Sect.

Ni Sa Kong's expression flickered, every word the other person uttered seemed to be siding with Ling Xiao Zong, denouncing Xing Yao Zong. However, listening to him, something always felt off.

"Great Dan Wang, there's no need for this. You excel in alchemy; there's no need to be concerned about these matters."

Ye Bufan's expression changed, as if he had been reminded by this sentence.

"The Sect Leader is right. I'm a celestial alchemist. Though I can't fight directly, I can help your sect become stronger."

As he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist, and three Emperor Kun Pills appeared in his palm. The golden pill patterns shimmered, each one being of the highest grade.

"Master, these three pills are a gift from me, a small contribution."

Ni Sa Kong's expression changed slightly. As a fifth-rank Saint Emperor, he could naturally see how precious these three Emperor Kun Pills were.

Cultivation for immortals cannot do without the supply of pills. Among numerous immortal elixirs, the most precious ones are those that elevate cultivation base. The Emperor's Core Pill before them is one of the highest grades among these.

As an old fox, I couldn't help but be suspicious when suddenly presented with such a grand gift.

"Prince Yedan, are these three pills just a gift to me with no other conditions"

Ye Bufan let out a hearty laugh: "I said I was making contributions to your esteemed sect, how could there be any conditions"

But I know Master, you wouldn't want to take my pills without a proper exchange. It would be embarrassing for you if I didn't at least offer some terms.

"How about you give me the Mazhu Zijin Teng in your hand"

Ni Sako's face darkened slightly, the benefits this guy offered clearly weren't easy to obtain.

"No, the Purple Jade Vine is a twelfth-order Xianling grass, priceless, and I have other uses for it."

He's a schemer, he wouldn't agree outright even if he wanted to. He needs more leverage first.

"Oh, I see. That's a shame."

Ye Bufan, with a look of regret on his face, took back the three pills.

"Master, to be honest with you, the Purple Jade Vine is very important to me."

If I don't get it, my mood will be affected. When I'm in a bad mood, the quality of the pills I refine might not be good.

Why don't you come back another day What if I accidentally refine a batch of low-grade pills That wouldn't be good, would it

"When I find the Purple Jade Vine, we'll refine it together, how about that"

"I..."

Ni Sako's face turned ashen. This was blatant extortion.

But there's no way around it, who could blame them for being a celestial alchemist.

And alchemy itself inherently carries a degree of uncertainty. Even if a batch of pills turns out to be useless, there's nothing one can say about it. At that point, the materials in hand would simply be wasted for nothing.

Since Ye Danwang needs them, I can't be stingy, but three Emperor Kun Pills are a bit too little, at least ten.

Ye Bufan was delighted. Since the other party had made an offer, he had succeeded more than half way through.

"Ten is too many, five."

At least eight!

"This furnace of mine can only produce six pills, that's all I have."

After some haggling, the two parties finally reached an agreement at a price of six Emperor's Heart Pills.

Ye Bufan joyfully accepted the Purple Jade Vine from Ma Yuzijin. With this, he was one step closer to gathering all the materials needed.

As for the six Emperor's Kun Pills, they were nothing to him. With Chaos Immortal Yuan's appetite, swallowing them was about the same as not swallowing them at all.

But those around me have already reached the peak of Immortal Emperor, and taking another Emperor's Core Pill won't be of much use.

The transaction was complete. Ye Bufan had refined another batch of Di Kun Pills, and all six pills were of high grade.

He knew exactly who Ni Sasha was, and once he found the opportunity, that old geezer wouldn't hesitate to strike him.

Of course, one wouldn't be completely open with the enemy. It's enough to refine six high-grade pills, just to save face.

"Master, please accept these six pills. I hope you can soon slay the Second Elder and avenge yourself!"

Ni Sa Kong didn't say anything either, after all, it was already precious to have managed to refine six pills from a Twelfth-Order Immortal Pill.

He felt uncomfortable being around this young man for some reason, always feeling like he was at a disadvantage.

"Farewell!"

After taking the pill, he didn't say much. He turned and left, then Kou Hong, with a gloomy expression, pushed the door open and walked in."Zhao Lian said, "When he was at Lingxiao Academy, that boy wasn't really admitting defeat. The reason he proactively handed these people over to us was to find an opportunity to get his hands dirty."...
