In Ye Qiu’s line of sight, a semi-circular stone disc appeared, two inches thick and the size of a palm.
The front of the stone disc was engraved with densely packed runes.
Ye Qiu picked it up from the ground and examined it repeatedly in his hand. Taking advantage of this, the Long-Browed Real Person quickly stuffed all the other items on the ground back into the sleeve of his Daoist robe.
After a good while.
Ye Qiu still could not figure it out. He asked, “Old thing, what is this item?”
The Long-Browed Real Person shook his head. “I do not know.”
Ye Qiu’s gaze sharpened instantly.
“Little brat, what is that look? Are you suspecting this poor Daoist of lying?” The Long-Browed Real Person said discontentedly. “This poor Daoist truly does not know what this thing does.”
Ye Qiu pressed, “Where did you get it from?”
“Right here.” The Long-Browed Real Person walked to a box and said, “This thing was placed inside this box at the time, and it was locked. It was covered in dust, clearly untouched for a very long time.”
Ye Qiu glanced at the box, his eyes showing surprise, because that box was made of pure gold, and it was the only pure gold box in this treasury.
“The spirit stones were all placed in wooden boxes, yet this stone disc was in a pure gold box. Evidently, the value of this item far surpasses that of spirit stones.”
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu continued to observe the stone disc.
After looking for a long time, he still gained nothing.
“Old thing, what do you think this item does?” Ye Qiu asked.
“I do not know.” The Long-Browed Real Person said, “This poor Daoist saw a pure gold box earlier and thought there must be some good stuff inside. Who knew that when I opened it, it was just a stone disc.”
“Little brat, did you notice that the edge of this stone disc has signs of breakage? Clearly, this stone disc has been broken into two halves.”
“To figure out its function, I am afraid we need to find the other half of the stone disc.”
“This poor Daoist searched this treasury thoroughly; I can confirm that the other half is not here.”
Ye Qiu frowned. He vaguely felt that the half stone disc in his hand was no ordinary thing.
As for its exact function, he had no clue for the moment.
While Ye Qiu was deep in thought, the Long-Browed Real Person quickly snatched the stone disc back and put it into the sleeve of his Daoist robe. He said, “Although this poor Daoist does not know what this stone disc is, perhaps someone else does.”
“Who?” Ye Qiu asked.
“The Hundred Flowers Fairy.” The Long-Browed Real Person laughed. “The Hundred Flowers Fairy grew up in the cultivation world from childhood, and as the palace master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, she knows more about things in the cultivation world than we two. Once we leave, this poor Daoist will ask her.”
“Mm.” Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
The Long-Browed Real Person continued, “Jiang Feng and his son are dead, and we have obtained the treasures of the City Lord’s Mansion. Little brat, we should leave.”
At that, the two left the treasury and returned to the surface.
“Wait for me a moment.”
After saying that, Ye Qiu walked quickly to Jiang Feng’s corpse, then used a beam of sword qi to sever Jiang Feng’s head.
Next, he held Jiang Feng’s head and used the blood to write several large characters on the ground.
“The killer is Long Pusa!”
Seeing this scene, the Long-Browed Real Person grinned and said, “Long Pusa, oh Long Pusa, you unlucky sod, prepare to bear the wrath of the Yin-Yang Sect!”
…
Ye Qiu and the Long-Browed Real Person left the City Lord’s Mansion and arrived at the teleportation array, where they met the Hundred Flowers Fairy and Green萝.
“You are back? Are you injured?”
Seeing Ye Qiu appear, the Hundred Flowers Fairy hurried over and asked. Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep concern.
“Young Master Ye, are you alright?” Green萝 also asked.
Ye Qiu smiled. “Rest assured, I am fine.”
The Long-Browed Real Person muttered beside them, “Why do you only care about the little brat and not about this poor Daoist?”
“Daoist, you are not as handsome as Young Master Ye, so why care about you?” After Green萝 said that, she did not forget to pull a face.
The Long-Browed Real Person gave Green萝 a resentful glance and thought to himself, women who judge by looks, so superficial.
Ye Qiu glanced around and noticed that there was not a single guard near the teleportation array, not even any corpses. He asked puzzledly, “Where are the guards here?”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy said, “When the great battle broke out in the City Lord’s Mansion earlier, they all went to support it. Green萝 followed along the way and saw them entering the City Lord’s Mansion with several thousand soldiers.”
Ye Qiu then understood. So the guards at the teleportation array had also died in the City Lord’s Mansion.
“I originally wanted to help you, but I never got the chance to act. Sorry.” The Hundred Flowers Fairy said guiltily.
Ye Qiu smiled. “You need not blame yourself. Not acting was a good thing; that way, you would not encounter danger.”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy looked at Ye Qiu and thought, is he worried about me?
For a moment, the Hundred Flowers Fairy felt a warmth in her heart.
“Young Master Ye, did you really kill Jiang Feng?” Green萝 asked.
“Mm, Jiang Feng and his son are dead, and those several thousand soldiers as well, not a single one survived.” Ye Qiu continued, “This is not a place to linger. Let us return to the Hundred Flowers Palace first; I have gifts for you.”
Hearing this, the Long-Browed Real Person quietly curled his lip. Using this poor Daoist’s things to please girls, I despise you.
Afterwards, the four rode the teleportation array and left Moonlight City.
The next morning, they returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Ye Qiu took out a wooden box and handed it to Green萝. He said, “This is for you.”
Green萝 opened it and said delightedly, “Palace Master, it is a low-grade Yellow Tier Spirit Qi Pill.”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy was somewhat surprised and asked Ye Qiu, “Where did you get this pill from?”
“It was obtained from Jiang Feng’s treasury.” Ye Qiu said, “I do not know what this Spirit Qi Pill does, but as it is low-grade Yellow Tier, it should be of some use to Green萝.”
“More than just some use. With this pill, Green萝 will break through to the Golden Core Realm in no time.” The Hundred Flowers Fairy explained, “After a cultivator swallows a Spirit Qi Pill, they can absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy at ten times the speed.”
So powerful?
After hearing this, the Long-Browed Real Person felt a pang of heartache and thought darkly, this was a pill this old lord found, and now the little brat is giving it away. What a wastrel.
Green萝 looked shyly at Ye Qiu and said softly, “Young Master Ye, thank you. You are so good to me!”
Ye Qiu smiled, then took out another wooden box and handed it to the Hundred Flowers Fairy. “This is for you.”
“A high-grade Yellow Tier Fire Spirit Pill!” The Hundred Flowers Fairy opened the box, her face full of delight. She said, “My master once said that my constitution is most suited to fire-type techniques and pills. With this Fire Spirit Pill, my cultivation will soon rise a level.”
“Ye Qiu, I will not stand on ceremony with you. I accept this pill.”
“Thank you.”
The Long-Browed Real Person said beside them, “We are all family; what is there to thank!”
Hearing this, the Hundred Flowers Fairy glanced at Ye Qiu, then quickly lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed.
“By the way, there is something I would like your help to look at.” Ye Qiu said, “Old thing, take it out.”
