Chapter 818: Purchasing Spiritual Medicines

Ye Yuan ultimately accepted Wu Siyuan's apology and helped Wu Jiantong refine a super-grade Qiling Pill.

Even the Wu family couldn't hold on, so how could the other seven families?

Thus, they vied with each other to show their loyalty to Ye Yuan.

Having dealt with the ten families, the Elders' Council was now completely under Ye Yuan's control.

With Ye Yuan's alchemy skills, the ten families would often have to seek his help. From then on, if they wanted to play any tricks, they would have to think twice.

After settling the Elders' Council, the crisis at Chixia Holy Land was finally initially overcome.

Grand Elder Shen Qin also breathed a sigh of relief and admired Ye Yuan immensely.

If not for Ye Yuan, the entire Chixia Holy Land would have fallen into a great crisis.

Once internal chaos erupted, other holy lands in Baiwu Domain would likely spot the weakness. Then, Chixia Holy Land would be in danger.

One day, Ye Yuan went alone to Tianyuan Trading Company.

In the secret chamber, as soon as Caiyue saw Ye Yuan, she pressed herself into his arms.

“Young Master Ye, now that you've risen to prominence, you've forgotten about me! I've missed you to death these days!”

That seductive charm was bone-deep, soul-stirring.

Hearing this, you knew she was tempting you, yet you couldn't control yourself.

Ye Yuan put his arm around Caiyue's fragrant shoulder but pressed her into a seat, then sat down in another chair.

“Sister Caiyue, don't use that trick on me; it won't work. I've come to ask for your help this time.” Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Caiyue looked at him with grievance, “I pour out my heart, and you treat it like dirt! Forget it, forget it. Whatever Young Master Ye commands, just say it. Even if not for the golden token, for your youth and handsomeness, I wouldn't dare refuse!”

Now that Ye Yuan was the young master, ten billion earth-element crystals were no issue; he had already sent someone to settle the debt at Tianyuan Trading Company.

But since the last auction, this was Ye Yuan's first visit to Tianyuan Trading Company.

Ye Yuan enjoyed Caiyue's extreme temptation but wouldn't fall for it.

After all, wasn't Caiyue just trying to probe his background?

Ye Yuan would never believe that Caiyue had genuine feelings for him.

Naturally, Caiyue was very disappointed. Her seduction technique would hook anyone, but this young man wouldn't even look her in the eye.

“I need several ninth-grade spiritual medicines; here's the list. Also, I want to hire someone to refine a ninth-grade pill for me.” Ye Yuan said.

Caiyue was startled, not expecting Ye Yuan to ask for a ninth-grade pill right away.

But she was also puzzled. Tianyuan Trading Company had alchemy emperors; why hire someone else?

“Don't guess, Sister. This pill is not something ordinary people can refine; only that person can do it.” Ye Yuan, seeing through her thoughts, said with a smile.

Caiyue gave a charming smile, “Young Master Ye is so perceptive, you even know what I'm thinking! I'm truly devoted to you; do you despise me as a fallen woman?”

Ye Yuan smiled, “How could that be? Sister is so enchanting; what man wouldn't be moved?”

“Then why won't you even look at me?”

Ye Yuan smiled without speaking and didn't respond.

Caiyue spat at him playfully, took the list from his hand with a smile, and said, “You young man, you're so sharp! Even some old fogies aren't as perceptive as you. Fine, let me see what ninth-grade pill you want to refine. I'm telling you, ninth-grade spiritual medicines are very expensive…”

As she spoke, she scanned the list. Halfway through, her seductive expression vanished, replaced by shock.

“Immortal Feather Peach, Earth Spirit Tortoise Shell… These… are you sure Chixia Holy Land can afford these spiritual medicines?” Caiyue exclaimed in shock.

Every spiritual medicine Ye Yuan wanted was a rare treasure, exorbitantly priced, and some were even unavailable on the market.

Buying these medicines would bankrupt Chixia Holy Land.

That was why Caiyue was so shocked when she saw the list.

Dao Profound realm experts were extremely wealthy, especially those who founded holy lands; they were a hundred times richer than ordinary Dao Profound cultivators.

Yet even so, Chixia Holy Land couldn't afford these medicines.

Ye Yuan smiled, “Sister, don't worry. I never said the money would come from Chixia Holy Land.”

Caiyue was taken aback, “Young Master Ye, are you joking? If not the holy land, then you? Don't forget, you couldn't even come up with one billion earth-element crystals.”

Ye Yuan smiled, “Sister, do you know why your Tianyuan Trading Company gave me the golden token?”

Caiyue was stunned again and shook her head, “That's a company secret; my level isn't high enough, so…”

Caiyue had obviously inquired about it, but at her level, she wasn't qualified to know.

For a first-grade holy land, her position as a Formless realm cultivator was too low.

Her superiors only told her to fulfill all of Ye Yuan's requests as much as possible; she knew nothing else.

Ye Yuan smiled and handed her a jade slip, saying, “Since you don't know, I won't say more. Send this jade slip and the list together to the company; the higher-ups will agree.”

Caiyue took the jade slip skeptically and instinctively tried to probe it with her divine sense, but Ye Yuan warned, “I've placed a restriction on the jade slip. It's better not to probe it, Sister. If the higher-ups find out, even if you're not in mortal danger, you'll be severely punished! These two items must be transmitted through the top-level channel.”

Caiyue was startled and quickly withdrew her divine sense.

Ye Yuan had always spoken to her very politely, with a smile, appearing harmless.

But Caiyue knew that a young man who could make the headquarters issue a golden token was far from simple.

If any other young man had warned her like that, she would have laughed it off.

But coming from Ye Yuan, she had to take it seriously.

Caiyue knew well that this young man was a legend. Since he said such words, they were no exaggeration.

Moreover, something that could offset the cost of so many rare spiritual medicines was naturally extremely valuable.

Yet the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to know the contents of the jade slip. She found it hard to imagine that a small jade slip could warrant the golden token from headquarters.

“Young Master Ye, don't scare me like that; you've frightened my poor little heart. If I can't look, I won't; it's no big deal!” Caiyue said with feigned grievance.

She still wore that irresistible expression, but now there was an indescribable complexity on her face.
