Chapter 419: Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty-Three: Found a Treasure

Observing the relaxed atmosphere beneath the altar, Yi Kui’s bell-like voice became flippant once more:

"Humph, I thought our esteemed Fate Officer would only maintain her fairy demeanor, but look, she is quite capable, isn’t she....."

Li Xing frowned and glanced at Yi Kui:

"Mu Xi is very clear about the role she must play."

Upon hearing his words, Yi Kui let out a soft snort of laughter from her nostrils:

"Oh... Li Xing, the young master has indeed pulled away our Fate Officer’s veil~"

Li Xing’s breathing paused as he snorted softly:

"The young master is likely unaware of our Underground City customs."

Yi Kui curled her lips into a smirk:

"Men are all the same. Now that the Primordial lady is beside him, just wait until the young master takes Mu Xi out of the Underground Palace.... heh~"

Having said that, Yi Kui no longer paid attention to Li Xing’s glum expression and settled herself onto the stone steps at the edge of the altar, hugging her chest and resting her chin in her hands as she watched below, looking slightly regretful:

"It’s really that Mu Xi who gets all the good fortune. She was the best at Tianxing Court, and received the most attention from the priests. If I had known the young master would come to our Underground City, I would have kept my veil too. The difference between the treatment of a young master’s confidant and the confidant’s subordinates in the Upper Realm must be quite large..."

"If it saves the Underground City, it is all the same."

Qin Yuan’s voice was soft, his indifferent gaze flicking towards Li Xing, who fell silent, and he spoke deliberately with every word:

"Li Xing, the young master’s family has at least one Saint. There are even more Mortal Transcendence experts. Control your emotions and don’t do anything unnecessary."

"..."

Watching her calm and serene demeanor in front of the young master, like that of a frightened rabbit, Li Xing fell silent for a while before slowly relaxing his clenched fist. Under the gaze of the other two, he forced a smile:

"How could I? I... I can still understand what’s important."

"Is that so?"

Qin Yuan murmured indifferently and looked away, his voice stern:

"Remember what you said. I do not wish to be the one who has to kill you by my own hand."

"Heh..."

Hearing this, Li Xing narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly without saying another word.

Qin Yuan was very strong. Although they were both of the Third Grade, Qin Yuan was much stronger than him.

Even Mu Xi, who was close to reaching Primordial status, would not be his match without using the Blood Divine Stone.

This was also why Qin Yuan had earlier suggested they band together to kill the two guests from the Upper Realm.

Silence spread over the altar,

and after a few breaths,

Yi Kui, who had been staring downwards, suddenly stood up:

"The young master from the Upper Realm wants us to go over there. Li Xing, mind your expression."

Having said that, she leapt lightly with her voluptuous figure.

Arriving beside the three below the altar,

Yi Kui and the others instinctively paid their respects to Xu Yuan:

"Young Master, you called for us."

Standing in place, Xu Yuan glanced at the woman with relaxed morals, only to notice that she had already pulled up the front of her robe to cover her soft cleavage. He spoke offhandedly:

"Mu Xi will be accompanying this young master to the Upper Realm first. The three of you will stay behind to guard the Underground Palace. When this young master returns to his residence, he will send someone down to clear out the Blood Nest’s aberrations."

Saying so, Xu Yuan lifted his finger slightly and the Sumeru Ring flashed a sparkle of brilliance.

"Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The heavy sounds of eight huge ironwood chests hitting the ground immediately stirred up a cloud of dust.

Xu Yuan waved his hand, and the lids of the ironwood chests opened in response.

Yi Kui looked reflexively, and her gaze could no longer move away.

Eight chests, each chest contained five compartmentalized layers, and each layer was tightly packed with glazed vials containing pills.

As a Great Grandmaster, Yi Kui could clearly sense the medicinal fragrance through the glazed vials in all eight chests filled with the same type of elixir.

Yi Kui was somewhat stunned:

"Young Master, this is..."

"Energy Blood Pills, a fundamental Elixir Medicine to aid martial practitioners in their cultivation."

Xu Yuan said casually in a low voice, "A hundred pills per bottle, five hundred bottles per chest, supplying a total of four hundred thousand pills."

Yi Kui licked her red lips:

"This... this is too valuable."

"Valuable?" Xu Yuan’s eyes twinkled with mischief, "To this young master, anything that can be settled with silver is not considered a problem."

These Energy Blood Pills, being entry-level Elixir Medicines for martial practitioner’s cultivation, were indeed cheap; the market price was about five taels of silver per pill.

Of course, that was the market price.

The cost to produce one Energy Blood Pill was only about eight hundred copper coins.

However, these eight chests of Energy Blood Pills were obtained by Xu Yuan through extorting the Sects, hence they were essentially free.

Yi Kui caught on quickly, her face now bearing a hint of seduction:

"Young Master, you’ve given us these because..."

"Your Fate Officer has already sold the lives of four hundred thousand citizens of the Underground City to this young master."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan lifted his hand to pinch Mu Xi’s serene and soft cheek.

Mu Xi saw it but did not dodge, allowing Xu Yuan’s hand to gently knead her cheek.

Pleased, Xu Yuan withdrew his hand before turning back with a smile:

"Consider these pills a greeting gift..."

Before he finished speaking,

"Plunk!"

The stern-faced Qin Yuan knelt on the ground, his head touching the earth:

"Qin Yuan is willing to serve the young master with his life."

"....." Yi Kui was momentarily stunned.

The next moment,

"Plunk!"

"Yi Kui is also willing to serve the young master..."

"Alright, that’s enough."

Xu Yuan waved his hand to interrupt Yi Kui, his narrow phoenix eyes scanning the three with interest, finally coming to rest on Li Xing, who still stood his ground, and he asked with a smile:

"And you?"

"...."

After a moment of silence, Li Xing spoke softly, "Young Master, my allegiance lies with the Fate Officer."

"Ah... the thing I admire the most is people who are loyal."

Xu Yuan noticed the expression in his eyes and a realization flashed through his smile as he
