Chapter 878: Tianhai Liusulfur Pill

With this, Ye Yuan finally understood the intentions of these guys.

He hadn't expected that his actions in the Shura Shop would make these people want to recruit him.

However, Ye Yuan had no intention of joining them.

"You mean, you want me to join you?" Ye Yuan said.

Jiao Chong also saw through Ye Yuan's thoughts and laughed, "I know you're strong, but the situation on the second level is completely different from the first. Without a big shot to protect you, you'll die a miserable death!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to join, but..."

Hearing that there was a possibility, Jiao Chong secretly rejoiced. This kid's strength was not weak, probably not inferior to his own. If he handled this task well, Lord Zong Tuo would surely reward him handsomely.

He thought this kid had some backbone, but it seemed he was just like that.

As for Ye Yuan raising conditions, that was only to be expected—raising his own value was a natural move.

"But what?" Jiao Chong asked.

"But I have to be the boss. I'm not used to being protected by others; I'm always the one protecting others," Ye Yuan said with a composed look.

Jiao Chong's expression changed upon hearing this. He thought the guy was sensible, but unexpectedly, he was ungrateful!

"You as the boss? What a joke! Kid, don't think you're something just because you have some strength! Let me tell you, without Lord Zong Tuo's care, you'll be devoured without a trace on this second level! And think carefully—you've killed Tu Gang, so you've already offended Lu Licheng to the core. If you offend us too, you won't be able to take a step on the second level!" Jiao Chong said with a dark face.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said regretfully, "Is that so? It seems we can't reach an agreement, so there's nothing more to discuss. Move aside, don't block the way."

Ye Yuan reached out to push him aside, but this time Jiao Chong was prepared and wanted to embarrass Ye Yuan.

However, he didn't expect that Ye Yuan's light push carried immense force, and his body involuntarily moved to the side.

Watching Ye Yuan's retreating figure, Jiao Chong's face was extremely ugly.

But before Ye Yuan had walked far, another group blocked his path. Seeing this, Jiao Chong's face showed a smug expression.

Lu Licheng had come personally!

"Kid, you've finally come up. Your Uncle Lu has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lu Licheng swept a fierce glance at Jiao Chong, clearly not expecting him to arrive faster than himself.

"A good dog doesn't block the way. Get lost!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

"Hey, what an arrogant kid! On this second level, no one has dared to speak to your Uncle Lu like that! I think, since you've come to the second level, you must be prepared, right?"

Lu Licheng looked as if he had Ye Yuan in his pocket, not taking him seriously at all.

Ye Yuan found it amusing. Really, everyone thought too highly of themselves!

"Of course, I'm always well-prepared," Ye Yuan said innocently.

"Good! Tomorrow, at the arena, we'll have a points duel! If you dare not agree, I'll kill you right now!" Lu Licheng said with overwhelming dominance.

Ye Yuan raised an eyebrow at this and said, "Points duel?"

Tan Si, standing nearby, leaned in and explained, "A points duel means both sides stake a portion of their points and fight to the death in the arena. The winner takes the opponent's points."

Hearing this, Ye Yuan became very interested and asked Lu Licheng, "How many points do you have?"

Ye Yuan's eager expression left Lu Licheng momentarily stunned.

"You don't need to worry about how many points I have! You used fifteen points in the Shura Shop, so you only have five points left. Let's bet five points!"

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Too little. I'm really short on points. How about this: I'll raise the stakes and bet all your points!"

At Ye Yuan's words, the surrounding crowd was speechless.

"Is this guy an idiot? With his strength, he wants to bet all of Lu Licheng's points?"

"Even Zong Tuo wouldn't dare claim he could come out unscathed in a life-and-death battle with Lu Licheng. This kid doesn't think that just because he broke the bank on the first level, he can walk sideways on the second level, does he? Any second-level warrior could go to the first level and break the bank too!"

"Haha, maybe that's exactly what he thinks! The first level is so weak; how strong can the second level be? Fools come every year, but this year there are especially many."

Jiao Chong, not far away, heard Ye Yuan's words and facepalmed.

He finally understood why Ye Yuan had spoken so arrogantly earlier—it turned out the kid was simply an idiot?

Jiao Chong's strength was similar to Tu Gang's, both around the 400th place on the Earthly Fiend List.

But the gap between the 400th and the 200th place was like a chasm!

Although both were at the Heavenly Enlightenment Realm, their strengths were incomparable. Otherwise, why would he, a master on the Earthly Fiend List, submit to someone of the same cultivation level?

"Hahaha... Did you hear that? He wants to raise the stakes and bet all my points! Kid, your Uncle Lu has thirty-five points. Tell me, what are you going to use to make up the difference? Don't tell me you don't know how valuable those extra thirty points are!"

Just as Lu Licheng was laughing heartily, a pill was placed before him. His laughter stopped, and his expression gradually turned serious.

"This... is a top-grade Tianhai Liusulfur Pill?"

Recognizing the pill in Ye Yuan's hand, Lu Licheng was no longer calm!

The Tianhai Liusulfur Pill is a top-tier seventh-grade pill for cleansing the marrow and purifying the veins. It is extremely tempting for Heavenly Enlightenment Realm warriors because it can help them break through the shackles of the Heavenly Enlightenment Realm and enter the Formless Realm!

Of course, for masters on the Earthly Fiend List, breaking through to the Formless Realm is not difficult.

What is truly difficult for them is later breaking through to the Dao Profound Realm and reaching the Emperor Realm!

The so-called 'no laws, no forms' applies not only to a warrior's comprehension of the Dao but also to their physical body.

Breaking through to the Formless Realm involves a process of cleansing the marrow and purifying the veins, allowing the body to undergo a complete transformation, laying the foundation for future breakthroughs to the Dao Profound Realm.

Thus, the extent of this cleansing and purification is extremely important.

It can be said that this process largely determines how far a warrior can go in the future.

The Tianhai Liusulfur Pill is far superior to the common pills that help warriors break through to the Formless Realm! More importantly, this seventh-grade pill is extremely difficult to refine; ordinary alchemists simply cannot produce it!

Therefore, although the Tianhai Liusulfur Pill is famous, very few people actually obtain it.

That is why Lu Licheng was so agitated upon recognizing it.

This pill is extremely precious and unavailable on the market; it is more than worth thirty points.

"You have good eyes. So, are you willing to bet all your points now?" Ye Yuan put away the pill and said.

Lu Licheng took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then sneered, "Since you want to give me such a precious pill yourself, why would I refuse?"
