Chapter 666 - 666: Don't Insult People Like This!
“I happened to obtain a Demon Beast’s Golden Core of the king’s grade, which is an excellent material that can help in breaking through the Golden Core Stage, along with a Soul Bone,” Ye Fan said. “Moreover, I have three Mind Palm Beads here, which the Sect rewarded to me…”
While speaking, he respectfully brought out a pile of items!
Some of them vibrated with an ancient aura, while others were interwoven with golden threads, similar to the aura of the ‘Immortal Path Guide’ within Ye Fan’s body.
At first glance, these were all top-notch treasures.
Especially those Mind Beads, they were the essence formed by the gathered Telekinesis of countless people! It takes a thousand people, a whole month to form one bead… For the big shots in the Immortal Domain, this is the highest quality cultivation material.
However, although there are billions of people in the Immortal Domain, 99.99% of the Mind Beads are controlled by those Sects and power holders. First and foremost, they are provided to the Sects and the overlords, as well as those in higher control, with few ever filtering down to ordinary powerhouses.
Unless one creates super benefits for the Sect or makes significant contributions, the Sect would then reward the Mind Beads. Yan Yu initially didn’t want to bring them out, but Bai Jifei was already a powerhouse in the Golden Core Realm. The items Yan Yu carried couldn’t possibly remain hidden given his level of strength.
Seeing the items in his hand, Yan Yu’s heart bled.
These were the treasures he had gathered over most of his life. Yan Yu is currently just at the Ninth Grade Foundation Establishment, and many items were intended for his own breakthrough into the Golden Core Stage. But now… meeting Bai Jifei, a smiling tiger in the secular world and Wandao Sect, he had to give some decent items to Ye Fan or else Bai Jifei wouldn’t let him off.
To save his life, he could only give up these treasures.
“Oh!” Bai Jifei glanced at the items in Yan Yu’s hand, thought rapidly for a moment. Right now, Ye Fan was only at the Martial Saint stage. He still needed to break through Divinity Transformation and Foundation Establishment before reaching the Golden Core Stage. Too advanced items probably wouldn’t be of use to him. “Alright then! I’m too lazy to want your items. Just find someone else to give them to Ye Fan, and remember, be courteous and don’t pull any tricks!”
Pfft!
At Bai Jifei’s words, Yan Yu almost cried.
He still had to deliver them to Ye Fan? And be polite too?
Damn it!
Wasn’t this just like a mouse bringing a New Year’s gift to a cat, forced to give a red envelope?
This is simply too bullying!
Yan Yu’s face immediately turned pale!
“What? Brother Yan has an opinion?” Bai Jifei glanced lightly at Yan Yu, his casual remark instantly causing Yan Yu’s heart to tremble.
“No! No! I am very willing to deliver the items to Ye Fan… I will definitely be very polite!”
Yan Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead as his entire body trembled.
Even though Bai Jifei kept calling him ‘brother,’ if Bai Jifei really wanted to make a move, he would definitely be ruthless. In Immortal Domain Tianqi City, among the hundreds of Sects, Bai Jifei’s reputation was not for naught! A strong practitioner in the Golden Core Realm, he was at least among the top thirty there, and at least a hundred strong practitioners from the Immortal Domain had died at the hands of Bai Jifei!
Taking the items, Yan Yu quickly parted from Bai Jifei and chased after Ye Fan.
Along the way, a few of Yan Yu’s subordinates felt somewhat indignant. “Elder, aren’t we being too cowardly? Not only did we fail to kill Ye Fan, but now we have to voluntarily offer him treasures? Aren’t we just aiding his rapid growth and rise?”
“Now Ye Fan is already a Seventh Grade Martial Saint, and if he continues to develop like this, he will soon break through to Divinity Transformation, enter Foundation Establishment, and finally surpass you!”
In an instant, Yan Yu felt like a deflated balloon, completely dispirited!
“Ah! What’s the use of talking about cowardice? Do you guys still not understand Bai Jifei of the Wandao Sect? He might look jovial, but who knows how many lives he has taken… If you can survive today, it’s already your good fortune. Let’s go, deliver the items to Ye Fan and hurry back!”
Outside was too unsafe, it was safer at home!
Bai Jifei watched Yan Yu leave, stroking his own beard.
“Ye Fan had already been in contact with the big shots of the Immortal Domain; with the aid of Yan Yu’s elixir pills and cultivation techniques, the road ahead should be much easier, shouldn’t it? Even if the Soul Hall tries underhanded tactics, Ye Fan should have a way to deal with them…”
Beside Bai Jifei, several of his subordinates also gathered around. “Elder, we’ve completed today’s tasks. Can we retreat now?”
Bai Jifei shook his head, “No need to rush! The Immortal Gate conference will be held in a month, and we might need to stay until after that… Plus, the sect leader has other tasks arranged for us in secret…”
…
Miaojiang Mountains, one hundred thousand miles wide!
Outside the canyon, Ye Fan, Guo Li, and Hou Tianji, along with others, were rapidly retreating towards the outer area!
Seeing the mighty subordinates he brought himself, Hou Tianji felt a sense of helplessness.
As a loyal supporter of the royal family, Hou Tianji originally wanted to grab some benefits for them, whether it was fragments under the Evil Cult or the soul bones of Ancient Fierce Beasts!
But now, Hou Tianji knew, even though he was fully aware that the fragments and soul bones had been taken by Ye Fan, he still had to pretend like he knew nothing and deliberately keep it a secret from Ye Fan.
“Young Master Ye… Please wait!”
Ye Fan and Guo Li had already left the secluded mountain villa canyon and were converging on the broad streets, when suddenly, several figures burst out from the side woods, blocking Ye Fan’s path.
These people were none other than Yan Yu and a few of his lucky subordinates.
Huh?
Ye Fan frowned slightly as he saw Yan Yu and his men suddenly appear.
Ye Fan was somewhat familiar with Yan Yu’s aura; he had sensed something in the void earlier, but he wasn’t sure.
“What do you want?” Ye Fan stared at them with furrowed brows, his Qi Force violently fluctuating, constantly on guard.
“Young Master Ye, don’t be nervous, we mean no harm… We just want to be friends with Young Master Ye… These are gifts; please accept them!” Yan Yu really wanted to kill Ye Fan.
The fluctuating aura from those fragments on Ye Fan was making Yan Yu drool. However, Yan Yu knew that Bai Jifei was likely watching in secret at that moment, and if he made any wrong move, before he could act, Bai Jifei could kill him ten times over.
So, while handing over the items to Ye Fan, Yan Yu made a bold decision.
Since he couldn’t kill Ye Fan today and could not contribute to the Longevity Sect, and since the items must be given away, why not just give them to Ye Fan as gifts and create a good karmic connection?
If Ye Fan rose in the future, he might still owe him a favor!
And if Ye Fan faced oppression and was about to perish after entering the Immortal Domain, today’s actions could also be reasonably explained. He was forced by Bai Jifei, and even if the sect leader inquired, there would be no issues!
Laotzu was truly too clever!
Thinking this, Yan Yu suddenly praised himself, and couldn’t help but want to give himself a like!
Ye Fan glanced over the package that Yan Yu handed over, only looking at a few of the cultivation techniques, and his heart paused for a moment. The fluctuating auras and the routes of Qi circulation in those techniques were very similar to those given by Ding Xiu?
“You are not people from the secular world?” As Ye Fan spoke, his sharp gaze swept across the surrounding space, finally focusing on the position where Bai Jifei was…
