"Take it back!"
Without hesitation, Yan Chuxin tossed an orange-yellow jade pendant towards Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun put away the Warm Sun Jade, his playful demeanor vanishing. "I hope you won't come begging me then!"
"Dream on!"
Yan Chuxin replied coldly and walked towards Yan Wenxin in the distance.
"Another conceited woman."
Ye Kunlun watched Yan Chuxin walk away, a look of indifference flashing in his eyes.
The reason they broke off the engagement, their self-righteousness, stemmed from the belief that Ye Kunlun had no powerful background.
If he had come from an ancient sect, the families of the Seven Clans of the capital would have treated him with great respect.
But how could these frogs in a well possibly know that Ye Kunlun's origins were a hundred times, even a thousand times stronger than any so-called ancient sect.
Yan Chuxin's Cold Vein was an extremely rare condition.
He had heard his master speak of it, and had seen it in the library of Kunlun Void.
If it were in ancient times, the Cold Vein was a special physique. With corresponding cultivation techniques and a steady supply of spiritual energy, cultivation would be twice as effective, and one would be extremely powerful!
However, in this era of spiritual energy scarcity, the Cold Vein was no longer a special physique but a rare illness!
Without a corresponding method to dispel the cold qi within the Cold Vein, one could not live past the age of sixteen!
Ye Kunlun didn't know where Yan Chuxin had heard that blood fiendish energy could be used to suppress the Cold Vein.
A certain amount of blood fiendish energy did have a suppressive effect, but it was not long-lasting. At most, within half a year, the Cold Vein would erupt completely.
This was assuming a powerful blood fiendish energy.
Based on Ye Kunlun's judgment, the blood fiendish energy Yan Chuxin had accumulated on the battlefield could at most suppress it for four months.
After four months, the Cold Vein would backfire.
At that time, the meridians within Yan Chuxin's body would be frozen by the cold, leading to certain death.

"Sister, why did you return the Warm Sun Jade to him?"
Yan Wenxin looked at her sister with concern, knowing the importance of the Warm Sun Jade.
"Don't worry, the blood fiendish energy in my body can suppress the Cold Vein," Yan Chuxin said with great confidence.
Yan Wenxin remained worried, holding Yan Chuxin's hand. "I'll draw a Warm Sun Painting when I get back. Sister, you can meditate on it every day, it should have some effect!"
"Alright."
—
Night fell, and Wudao had still not returned.
The materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill were all extremely precious medicinal herbs, and it was not easy to gather them all in one day.
Ye Kunlun went to the capital's dark market alone.
The capital's dark market was countless times larger than Qingcheng's ghost market, with orderly stalls and many tourists visiting out of curiosity.
At this moment, the dark market was brilliantly lit, crowded with people, a scene of bustling activity.
However, Ye Kunlun knew that the lively dark market before him was not the dark market he was looking for!
Although there were some unorthodox items here, and the Spirit Breaking Pill had entered the Purple Smoke Tower from here.
It was basically impossible to find the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill here!
This was not the true dark market; the true dark market was hidden within the prosperity before his eyes.
Following the intelligence from the Phantom Shadow Tower, Ye Kunlun headed towards an alley in the dark market.
After winding through several turns, Ye Kunlun reached the end of an alley and pushed gently.
The wall in front of him actually opened, revealing a huge passage.
Without a second thought, Ye Kunlun flashed inside.
Stepping behind the wall, he entered a dimly lit hall. Several people in the hall looked towards Ye Kunlun.
As a result, someone recognized Ye Kunlun, their eyes showing a hint of solemnity.
After all, Ye Kunlun had caused a stir throughout the capital, especially after killing several powerful figures from the Changsun family. Ye Kunlun could not keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
However, the person who recognized Ye Kunlun quickly averted their gaze, seemingly not wanting to have too much interaction with Ye Kunlun.
Now, everyone in the capital avoided Ye Kunlun, and no one wanted to be associated with this jinx.
At this moment, a woman with a voluptuous figure and revealing attire walked towards Ye Kunlun.
The two ample mounds on the woman's chest looked like two ripe large melons, bouncing up and down as she walked.
This attracted the envious gazes of many men around.
They seemed to know the woman's identity, and even though they were envious, they dared not harbor any improper thoughts towards her.
"Handsome, you look a bit unfamiliar."
The woman winked at Ye Kunlun and reached out to caress his cheek.
Ye Kunlun snorted coldly, dodged her hand, and uttered a single word: "Scram!"
The woman's expression changed slightly, a hint of coldness appearing on her pretty face. Her extended jade hand transformed into a fierce attack, slashing towards Ye Kunlun's neck.
However, her speed was no match for Ye Kunlun's, who struck first and arrived later!
Ye Kunlun's hand, like a vise, tightly gripped the woman's neck. "If you want to die, I'll grant you your wish!"
"Ye, Young Master Ye, it's a misunderstanding!"
Just as Ye Kunlun's killing intent flared, someone appeared and looked apologetically at Ye Kunlun. "Shasha is new and doesn't recognize you. Please be merciful!"
The newcomer looked at Ye Kunlun with some fear.
If Ye Kunlun were to kill Shasha in a fit of rage, the man wouldn't dare to say a word!
Ye Kunlun was not here to kill today; he was only looking for the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
With a light snort, he released his grip.
The woman coughed violently and looked at Ye Kunlun with fear. "I apologize. I was blind and offended you!"
"Ye, Young Master Ye, I am quite familiar with the dark market. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask."
The man spoke, looking at Ye Kunlun with a hint of fawning.
Ye Kunlun ignored the two of them and walked directly towards a door in the hall.
"Black Jackal, who is he?" Shasha asked the man before her, looking at where Ye Kunlun had disappeared with lingering fear.
The man called Black Jackal by Shasha frowned, his eyes showing a hint of solemnity, as if guessing Ye Kunlun's purpose in coming to the dark market.
"Ye Kunlun!" Black Jackal replied to Shasha in a deep voice.
Hearing Black Jackal's answer, Shasha's eyes widened in shock.
Immediately, her shock turned into a hint of joy. "So he's the Ye Kunlun who destroyed the Changsun family! He's truly different from other scummy men!"
Hearing Shasha's words, Black Jackal gave her a warning look. "Shasha, this man's mind is unpredictable, he is decisive in his actions, and his strength is terrifying. I advise you to stay away from him!"
Shasha remained unfazed, replying with a smile, "A man like this is more interesting."
With that, Shasha ignored Black Jackal and also chased in the direction Ye Kunlun had gone.
"She's simply a suicidal madwoman!" Seeing Shasha ignore his advice, Black Jackal felt helpless and let her go.
Ye Kunlun passed through the door of the hall and walked through a deep, dark passage before his surroundings suddenly opened up.
Brightly lit, with constant shouts.
It was as if he had entered another world.
Who would have thought that beneath the dark market, there was such a huge underground city hidden?
