Chapter 2234 Encounter with the Pill Emperor Clan (Third Update)

Upon entering, Ye Chen and the others sharply sensed that inside the Wanbao Pavilion, although it was magnificently luxurious, numerous powerful beings from various clans streamed in one after another, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yet hidden within the void, there were powerful presences faintly flickering, making it a veritable dragon’s den and tiger’s lair.

Even Ye Chen couldn’t help but be slightly moved.

Soon, a beautiful woman with an elegant and slender figure came forward; she was a maid of the Wanbao Pavilion and slightly bowed to Ye Chen and the others.

With her clothes slightly revealing, her ample bosom quivered, soft and snow-white, enchanting the eyes of the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor to the point that he almost drooled.

Behind them, the Old God King watched all of this, sighing slightly, “After all these years, Wanbao Pavilion hasn’t changed much.”

Ye Chen and the others glanced at the Old God King with some suspicion but didn’t inquire.

After all, being an Old God King, he had lived for over a hundred thousand years, a perpetually lasting entity, visiting Wanbao Pavilion was quite normal.

However, from his words, it seemed he had an extraordinary encounter with the Wanbao Pavilion.

“Please lead the way!” Ye Chen said.

The maid slightly nodded and led the group into the Wanbao Pavilion, explaining as they walked, “Honored guests, Wanbao Pavilion is currently one of the top treasure pavilions in the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, filled with countless treasures, and all are genuinely precious.”

“The first floor is for treasures from the Demigod to Saintly Treasure levels.”

“The second floor is for Heavenly King level.”

“The third floor is for Great Power level.”

“The fourth floor houses treasures beyond Great Power level—”

The maid’s voice was pleasant as she slowly explained to Ye Chen and the others.

The Wanbao Pavilion had four floors, each corresponding to a different level. Each level was vast and categorized, such as Daoist Soldiers, Pill, Medicinal Materials, Divine Material, Magic Arrays, and so forth, with numerous categories.

Overall, they mirrored the four major levels.

“May I ask what treasures the honorable guests wish to purchase?” The maid slightly bowed, fulfilling her etiquette, and softly inquired.

“The third floor, medicinal materials category,” Ye Chen replied.

“As you wish!”

Upon reaching the third floor, under the guidance of the maid, Ye Chen and the others arrived at a vast area that belonged to the medicinal materials category, organized into a separate grand hall.

In the grand hall appeared many Divine Light Groups, each enveloping a type of medicinal material, and all were of extraordinary rank, at least Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures, naturally not lacking in some rare Medicine Spirits, and even some world-rare ultimate precious materials.

Numerous medicinal materials, in a variety, at least numbering in the hundreds, dazzling to the eyes, truly awe-inspiring.

Naturally, these medicinal materials encased in the Divine Light Groups, Ye Chen and the others could also sense, all bore powerful restrictions, making it difficult even for an average Great Power to break through the protection of the Divine Light Group in a short time.

Once the group arrived, the maid slightly bowed and withdrew.

She was responsible only for leading them here, while the true overseer was the elder in charge of the third-level medicine hall.

Though titled elder, the person who came was a woman appearing in her early thirties, her figure full and slender, with curves so pronounced the thin clothing seemed unable to fully contain her shapely form, threatening to burst open at any moment.

The woman was extremely beautiful, though not as mesmerizing as Aben or the Goddess, still stunning enough, exuding an enticing demonic allure with every move.

Gulp—

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor beside them swallowed hard, finding the woman remarkably alluring, possessing a unique charm.

The mature and enchanting female elder gracefully approached, smiling faintly at Ye Chen and the others with a distinct charm, “Honored guests, welcome, I am Ruoya, the elder in charge of the fourth-level medicinal materials category.”

The female elder’s name was Ruoya.

After a brief introduction, Ye Chen proactively said, “Elder Ruoya, I wish to purchase some medicinal materials, here is the list.”

A flash of Divine Light revealed a piece of paper in his hand, filled with various medicinal materials listed.

Ruoya gracefully took the paper and looked at it, seeing it was densely packed with the names of various medicinal materials.

Though most of these medicinal materials appeared quite precious, priced beyond the ordinary, they still belonged to a relatively common category.

However, towards the end, the materials became increasingly uncommon, some being Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Spirits, extremely rare.

Ruoya’s eyes flashed with surprise, she lifted her head to look at the young and handsome man in front of her, her red lips slightly opening, “Customer, are you sure you want all the medicinal materials on this list?”

Because the total amount for these materials was so enormous that even Ruoya was somewhat stunned.

The total value was nearly eight hundred million Spirit Stones, making it a huge transaction amount, possibly the largest medicinal material transaction in nearly a century.

Once the trade is successful, it will even affect her path to promotion within the clan, so there cannot be any mistakes.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: “Elder Ruoya, you didn’t hear wrong. I also understand the amount is significant and can pay half the Spirit Stones in advance. I also believe that the reputation of the Wanbao Pavilion would not swindle our Spirit Stones.”

Ruoya could tell that Ye Chen was serious and not at all deceitful. However, she found it hard to believe that a young junior could hold such a large number of Spirit Stones, an amount that even many geniuses of the Emperor Clan may not have, nor could they gather in a short time.

This person, who exactly is he?

Could he be the son or daughter of an Emperor or an heir of the Immortal Dao?

Ruoya had her suspicions, but she was no ordinary person. A gentle smile appeared on her face, awakening a myriad of charms: “Sir, you flatter us. Since you trust our Wanbao Pavilion so much, naturally, our Wanbao Pavilion also trusts in your character. Please wait a moment, I will go to instruct people to fetch the medicinal materials.”

“Alright!” Ye Chen nodded.

Ruoya gracefully walked down, summoned the servants, handed over the list, and instructed them to fetch the medicine.

Upon seeing the numerous medicinal materials on the list, the other managers of the Wanbao Pavilion were shocked and dared not neglect it, repeatedly issuing commands, causing the servants to spring into action to gather the medicine.

Ye Chen and the others were not in a hurry. Ruoya invited them to a banquet table, poured Dao Tea, and called for various exquisite pastries and delicacies, accompanied by fine wine, allowing Ye Chen and others to enjoy and wait.

“Esteemed guests, some of the medicinal materials on the list are Medicine Spirits and extremely precious. They are stored in other places, so fetching them all will take some time. We ask for your patience.”

Ruoya bowed slightly, with a hint of apology, gently brushing aside stray strands of hair from her forehead, appearing exceptionally alluring.

Off to the side, the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor stared blankly, looking like a fool charmed by a woman.

“Elder Ruoya, you flatter us too much,” Ye Chen shook his head.

After some words, Ruoya withdrew, personally asserting herself, shortening the time to fetch the medicinal materials.

“That young girl is not bad.”

At the table, the Old God King watched Ruoya’s enchanting figure and said softly: “Far better than those people from back in the day, it seems the Wanbao Pavilion has been doing quite well these years.”

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor looked at the Old God King suspiciously and said, “Old man, it looks like you had quite the connection with the Wanbao Pavilion back then. If you hadn’t said the latter part, I would’ve thought you were interested in that beauty.”

The Old God King glared at the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor and said, “I’ve lived for so many thousands of years, I lost interest in women long ago. Now, I only hope to break through my shackles and achieve the rank of Ancient Monarch.”

The third floor of the Medicine Hall is large but also quite empty since medicinal materials at this level are not something anyone can afford.

And when at the level of Great Power, unless one is an Alchemist, purchasing medicinal materials is quite rare.

As everyone waited for the medicine to be fetched, a group of young elites, both male and female, entered the Medicine Hall, eight in total.

The leader among them was exceptionally distinguished, dressed in an elegant and luxurious robe, adorned with extraordinary Pill Ding illustrations, accompanied by a special and pleasant Pill Fragrance. His exceptionally handsome face made Ye Chen pause for a moment; it was so familiar.

Dan Xian!

The foremost young figure of this generation in the Pill Emperor Clan, young yet with mastery in the Alchemy Technique, rivaling even many of the older generation members within the Pill Emperor Clan, with expertise in the same era second only to the Emperor’s daughter.

Ye Chen did not expect the Pill Emperor Clan also appeared in the Heaven Ascending Ancient City, including their geniuses like Dan Xian.

Evidently, the Pill Emperor Clan also has means to enter the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.

Dan Xian and his companions naturally saw Ye Chen and the others, but unfortunately, Ye Chen and his group had disguised themselves and were not recognized.

Moreover, many of the Pill Emperor Clan’s geniuses were captivated by Aben’s stunning beauty and paid less attention.

Even though Aben still wore a veil, her peerless beauty was undeniable, causing many of the young geniuses of the Pill Emperor Clan to have bright eyes.

Even Dan Xian was no different.

However, Aben’s gaze was very cold.

Because in the past, when Ye Chen obtained one-seventh of the Great Emperor Body, he was pursued by the Cosmos Eight Desolates and even Ancient Monarchs. While passing by the Pill Emperor Clan, they did not intend to enter, but the Pill Emperor Clan took the initiative to disassociate, closing their gates, even disregarding his status as the first Guest Elder of the Pill Emperor Clan, and turned him away.

As Ye Chen’s wife, Aben naturally shared his enmity and harbored special hatred toward Dan Xian and his people.

Dan Xian and his people naturally noticed this scene, somewhat puzzled, yet they did not understand why Aben was so hostile to them, as if there was some deep-seated grudge.

Behind them, the Eight Supreme Heavenly Pride also understood some of Ye Chen’s matters on the Ultimate Ancient Road and held similar animosity.

This caused Dan Xian and the Pill Emperor Clan’s geniuses to furrow their brows, wondering why they were being so unfriendly when there was no apparent offense given.

At the back, several Emperor Clan’s geniuses wanted to step forward and question but were stopped by Dan Xian, who shook his head slightly, his face a bit somber.

Because the Heaven Ascending Ancient City is now too extraordinary, with the arrival of the Emperor’s feast gathering too many Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans, even the geniuses of the Pill Emperor Clan dare not easily cause trouble, as who knows if anyone met on the street is of the Emperor or Immortal Clan.

Although the Pill Emperor Clan is not afraid, they do not wish to easily stir up trouble.

A group of Emperor Clan’s geniuses walked past and were arranged elsewhere.
