"Welcome to the Xuan Alliance."
Ye Xuan's lips curved into a smile, his scheme to lure, or rather, recruit, had clearly succeeded perfectly.
Lin Tianyue smiled slightly, not paying much mind to it, then something came to her mind.
"By the way."
She then flipped her hand and produced a token. "This is the Myriad Sword Token. Should you, junior Ye, or rather, Alliance Leader, travel to the Haotian Immortal Kingdom in the future, this token will make things much more convenient. With this token, you will be the most honored friend of my Myriad Sword Sacred Land."
Ji Wutian, "........"
Good heavens, Elder Tianyue, already paving the way for second brother in the Haotian Immortal Kingdom?
As he pondered, Lin Tianyue produced another spatial ring. "Furthermore, Alliance Leader, this is the spatial ring I previously seized from that Immortal Ancestor of the Burning Heaven Sacred Land. I'll give it to you as well."
"Consider it a thank-you gift for this fortuitous encounter."
Ye Xuan blinked upon hearing Lin Tianyue's words. A spatial ring from the Burning Heaven Sacred Land's Immortal Ancestor.
Good heavens!
This gift was undeniably generous.
"This... alright then."
With such a lavish gift before him, if Ye Xuan were to refuse, it would be an insult to Lin Tianyue's sincere intentions.
Ji Wutian stared with wide eyes at the scene, clearly finding it beyond his comprehension. Damn it, a spatial ring from an Immortal expert of the Burning Heaven Sacred Land? Since when did that happen? He had no idea.
Good heavens!
Was Elder Tianyue too ruthless? To directly snatch the spatial ring of the Burning Heaven Sacred Land's Immortal Ancestor? That Immortal Ancestor of the Burning Heaven Sacred Land probably cried himself to sleep.
"Alliance Leader, my mission to support the Galactic Empire is complete. I must return to the Myriad Sword Sacred Land for now."
"I await your arrival in the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, Alliance Leader."
After a brief exchange, Lin Tianyue and Ji Wutian departed from the City Lord's Mansion, leaving Ye Xuan alone in the hall, a smile playing on his lips.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gifting Lin Tianyue the [Mortal Grade · Immortal Breaking Pill] and successfully recruiting her as a guardian of the Xuan Alliance. Reward: 1000 Haotian Coins, with an additional 3000 Mid-Grade Immortal Crystals!"
The system's voice sounded in his ear as expected, further brightening Ye Xuan's mood.
This flow... was truly satisfying.
Ye Xuan's gaze followed the direction Lin Tianyue had departed. "This deal was quite profitable."
"One [Mortal Grade · Immortal Breaking Pill] for 1000 Haotian Coins. This is a good return, isn't it?" His lips curved upwards. Ye Xuan retracted his gaze and his attention fell upon the spatial ring Lin Tianyue had given him.
"A spatial ring from an Immortal-level expert must contain many resources. Let me see."
As he spoke, Ye Xuan's spiritual sense probed into the spatial ring. If the Immortal Ancestor from the Burning Heaven Sacred Land knew of this, would he immediately rush over to fight Ye Xuan to the death?
Of course!
Not to mention, if he knew Ye Xuan was the mastermind behind the deaths of their Burning Heaven Sacred Land's Holy Son and Grand Elder.
"Damn it, the Burning Heaven Sacred Land truly is a veritable godsend."
Ye Xuan sighed, but soon discovered something interesting.
"Hmm~"
Then, Ye Xuan took out a spiritual herb. To be precise, it was a spiritual herb bound by a formation, and the formation's restraint was quite strong.
"Quite interesting."
"Let me see what kind of spiritual herb this is."
Ye Xuan then removed the restraining formation. The next moment, something miraculous happened. The spiritual herb, freed from restraint, flew out. Yes, it flew out.
Furthermore, not only did it fly out, it flashed with light and transformed into the appearance of a child, about five or six years old.
"This is... Good heavens, a spiritual herb has transformed!"
Immediately, Ye Xuan asked You Nai 5.0 and received the conclusion that the spiritual herb before him was called the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, an extremely rare spiritual herb, and clearly millions of years old.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have transformed. Of course, not all spiritual herbs millions of years old would transform, and this was the miraculous aspect of the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass. Normally, out of tens of thousands of spiritual herbs millions of years old, only one might transform.
This illustrated the difficulty of spiritual herb transformation.
"Good heavens!!"
Ye Xuan exclaimed another "good heavens." The next moment, he reached into the void and directly fixed the millions-year-old Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass in mid-air.
"Human, let go of this young master."
The child-like form of the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, flashing with fear in its eyes, had a deep-seated belief that humans were all bad.
"You have two choices: either acknowledge me as your master, or... I'll eat you."
Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, ".........."
"You scoundrel!"
A childish voice rang out. The little face of the child transformed from the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass turned crimson with anger, yet it appeared remarkably cute.
"Of course, acknowledging me as master comes with many benefits, such as..."
Ignoring the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass's frantic protest, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand and produced a spiritual herb of three hundred thousand years. The Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, which had been raging, instantly froze. Its large, rolling eyes fixed intently on the three hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herb.
"How about it?"
The Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass hesitated for a moment upon hearing Ye Xuan's words. Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled and, with another flip of his right hand, produced a spiritual herb of even greater age, a four hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herb.
"Heh heh, and now?"
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, looking at the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass before him, not in any hurry as he asked.
"If this isn't enough, then here's another one."
Before the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass could react, Ye Xuan produced yet another spiritual herb, this one five hundred thousand years old.
"Acknowledge me as your master, and all of this will be yours."
Then, Ye Xuan directly tossed the three spiritual herbs towards the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass. Simultaneously, a drop of his essence blood was imprinted between its brows. The Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, which had intended to struggle, saw the three spiritual herbs and...
It began to eat ravenously. As for the drop of essence blood Ye Xuan had imprinted between its brows, it paid no heed.
"Heh heh, follow me, and you won't lack benefits in the future."
Immediately, striking while the iron was hot, Ye Xuan gave the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass another spiritual herb of five hundred thousand years. While precious in the outside world, to Ye Xuan, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
"Nom nom~~"
With a gulp, the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass swallowed the five hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herb. At this moment, Ye Xuan had successfully achieved recognition from the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass.
Buzz~~
With the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass consuming so many spiritual herbs, its age, originally millions of years, had directly broken through and entered the one million one hundred thousand year mark!
Its previous realm, comparable to a First Order Void Ancestor, also soared, reaching a level comparable to a Third Order Void Ancestor!
"Ahem, this Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass is quite interesting."
Ye Xuan cleared his throat, looking at the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, which had instantly advanced two levels. A bold idea surfaced in his mind. "In that case..."
Then, Ye Xuan took out all the spiritual herbs of one hundred thousand years from the spatial ring. A rough estimate showed over a thousand of them.
Such a large number of hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herbs would shock anyone in the outside world if they saw it. As for the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass, it burrowed into the pile of spiritual herbs, and the greatest scene of extravagance in history unfolded, a sight too beautiful to bear.
As for the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass's favor towards Ye Xuan, it skyrocketed. Ye Xuan, calmly observing this scene, curved his lips. "Little rascal... I still can't control you."
