The white-robed man's greed

The Water Dragon Turtle's eyes flickered with excitement as it said urgently, "Qin Yi, since Hei Nantian has already finished the Fusion with the Abyssal Divine Dragon Bloodline..."

"Then we should hurry to the Su Family Bank to collect our 150,000 immortal source stones."

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Let's go. We'll head to the Su Family Bank now to collect the 150,000 immortal source stones we won from the bet."

Then, with a flicker of his figure, Qin Yi left the room.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious palace on the top floor of the Zhexian Tower,

A-Da spoke with a respectful expression, bowing as he said, "Young Master, Qin Yi's Cultivation talent is extremely terrifying; he possesses invincible strength within the same Realm."

"During the Tiger Ranking Competition, a casual punch from Qin Yi not only knocked Thunder unconscious,"

"But also knocked Zhan Tianhen, who had activated his Vajra Tyrant Body, into a coma."

Hearing this, the White-Robed Man sitting above showed a look of surprise and said with a smile:

"This Qin Yi indeed hides a great secret, to be able to knock Zhan Tianhen unconscious with just a casual punch."

Although he could also defeat Zhan Tianhen within the same Realm, to defeat a full-strength Zhan Tianhen as easily as Qin Yi did,

The White-Robed Man admitted he could not do it. This made him feel that Qin Yi must possess a massive secret.

Otherwise, how could a Cultivator from the Southwest Region possess such formidable Cultivation talent?

A-Da nodded, his booming voice ringing out,

"Indeed. Moreover, after the tiger ranking ended, Qin Yi even rejected the North Nether Immortal Lord's invitation."

"I suspect that Qin Yi must have some treasure on him that allows him to contend with the North Nether Immortal Lord."

"Otherwise, Qin Yi wouldn't have dared to reject the North Nether Immortal Lord in public. That was a severe slap to the North Nether Immortal Lord's face."

The White-Robed Man laughed and said, "To think that even the North Nether Immortal Lord would have his face slapped by a Ninth Level Immortal King Realm Cultivator."

"However, it's a bit strange that the North Nether Immortal Lord didn't vent his anger on Qin Yi after losing face like that."

After a moment, the White-Robed Man pondered and said with a smile, "A-Da, once the Beiming Immortal Gathering is over,"

"Accompany me to capture Qin Yi. I want to personally interrogate him about the secrets he holds."

"I am curious to see exactly what treasure Qin Yi has that gives him such great confidence."

A-Da frowned and said, "Young Master, Qin Yi's treasure can contend with the North Nether Immortal Lord, who is in the Ninth Level of Immortal Venerable Realm."

"With my cultivation, I'm afraid I might not be a match for Qin Yi."

The White-Robed Man smiled slightly and said confidently, "I have a Life-saving Jade Pendant left to me by the Great Ancestor."

"When the time comes, I will crush the pendant, and the Great Ancestor's Phantom will descend. It will be easy to suppress Qin Yi."

A smile appeared on A-Da's face, and he cupped his hands, saying, "Young Master, with the Great Ancestor's Phantom descending, Qin Yi won't be able to stir up any trouble at all."

"By then, all of Qin Yi's secrets and treasures will belong to you, Young Master."

A-Da believed that since the Great Ancestor was at the Third Level Immortal Emperor Realm, even if it was just a phantom, it could still unleash the combat power of the Immortal Emperor First Layer Realm.

Even if the treasure on Qin Yi could contend with a Ninth Level of Immortal Venerable Realm expert, it could never be a match for an Immortal Emperor Expert.

A hint of greed flashed in the White-Robed Man's eyes as he said with a smile:

"Exactly. Once I obtain Qin Yi's secrets and treasures, perhaps I too can become an Immortal Emperor Expert in the future."

...Soon, Qin Yi and his companions arrived at the Su Family Bank. The surrounding Cultivators showed looks of envy and began to speak:

"Qin Yi has come to the Su Family Bank. He must have finished absorbing the nine treasures profound pill and reached a Breakthrough to the Immortal Venerable Realm."

"Yeah, it's truly unbelievable. A Cultivator from the Southwest Region like Qin Yi could actually become an Immortal Venerable Expert."

"Hmph, even if Qin Yi becomes an Immortal Venerable Expert, what use is it? He's still no match for Immortal Venerable Qian Yuan."

"If Qin Yi hadn't rejected the North Nether Immortal Lord's invitation, Immortal Venerable Qian Yuan wouldn't have dared to lift a finger against him."

"Indeed. In the end, Qin Yi is just too arrogant, thinking he can do whatever he wants just because he has some talent."

Qin Yi's expression remained calm despite the surrounding discussions. His cultivation had already reached the Immortal Venerable Seventh Realm, so he didn't care about Immortal Venerable Qian Yuan at all.

If Immortal Venerable Qian Yuan dared to attack him, Qin Yi could kill him with a casual punch.

Qin Yi walked straight to the counter, placed a Golden Jade Token on it, and said:

"This is my jade token. I'm here to collect my 150,000 immortal source stones."

The old man in front of him was the same Grey-Robed Old Man from the day of the bet.

The Grey-Robed Old Man showed a hint of envy as he picked up the jade token to inspect it, saying:

"There's no problem with your Golden Jade Token. Here are your 150,000 immortal source stones."

As he spoke, the Grey-Robed Old Man waved his hand, and a spatial ring flew toward Qin Yi.

At the same time, the Grey-Robed Old Man felt a wave of deep emotion in his heart.

On the day of the bet, he had thought Qin Yi didn't know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth, wondering how a Cultivator from the Southwest Region could possibly take first place on the tiger ranking.

He never expected that Qin Yi would be invincible within his Realm and actually take first place on the tiger ranking.

Qin Yi picked up the spatial ring, used his consciousness to check its contents, and after confirming everything was correct,

He turned and left with Hei Nantian.

Watching Qin Yi and his group leave, some Cultivators showed disdain in their eyes, their faces full of mockery.

Others showed envy, sighing with regret:

"With such powerful Cultivation talent, it's truly a pity for Qin Yi."

...Inside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion,

The Three Grand Commanders said angrily, "Immortal Lord, Qin Yi is truly ungrateful. He actually dared to reject your personal invitation."

"He even rejected the prestigious position of youzhou garrison commander. I see it as him looking down on our Beiming Immortal Kingdom. I'll go and teach him a lesson in secret right now."

The more the Three Grand Commanders thought about it, the angrier he became. He had thought so highly of Qin Yi and hadn't spared any praise for him in front of the North Nether Immortal Lord.

Who would have thought that Qin Yi would reject the North Nether Immortal Lord's invitation? This was also an indirect slap to the Three Grand Commanders' face.

Sitting above, the North Nether Immortal Lord's face was calm as he said in a deep voice, "Three Grand Commanders, do not be impulsive."

"At that time, I didn't act against Qin Yi because I felt he was too mysterious. I couldn't see through him at all."

"Furthermore, when Qin Yi rejected me, there wasn't a single ripple of emotion on his face. This forced me to suspect that he has a trump card that allows him to contend with me."

The Three Grand Commanders calmed down and said irritably, "He's just a Cultivator from the Southwest Region. Even if he has a trump card,"

"With his strength at the Seventh Level of Immortal King Realm, he's still no match for me."

"I think Qin Yi is just too conceited. He thinks that because he has remarkable talent, he doesn't have to respect you, Immortal Lord."

At that moment, a white figure flashed, and Zhou Baiyu appeared in the hall.

Zhou Baiyu cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Immortal Lord."

The North Nether Immortal Lord nodded and asked in a deep voice, "Baiyu, you went to the Southwest Region. What information have you gathered regarding the Qin Family?"
