57: Xuanmo is so lucky to have met you, Junior Sister.

He was very clear that the cultivation she displayed externally was Foundation Establishment Mid Stage. And her Contracted Spirit Beast, which looked ordinary, was Second Tier Peak.

With this level of strength, hunting Second Order Demon Beast was already the limit!

But now... where did these Third Rank Demonic Beasts, or even Third Order Late Stage Yao Beasts, pop out from?!

"J-Junior Sister," he swallowed hard, and asked cautiously, in a tone filled with endless confusion and incomprehension, "How... how did you hunt these Third Rank Demonic Beasts?"

In order to avoid attracting others' prying eyes towards her and Mysterious Ink's secrets, Ye Feiyan had already prepared her explanation.

Her expression was calm, and she spoke indifferently, "Oh, this. We were just lucky. We happened to run into two powerful Third Rank Demonic Beasts fighting each other to the death over a Spirit Medicine. We just happened to pass by and pick up the leftovers."

"P-Pick up the leftovers?"

Hearing this, Lin Yao's mouth twitched fiercely.

What kind of Heaven-Defying luck is this?!

However, this explanation was quite reasonable. Otherwise, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Junior Sister, your luck is simply... incredible!"

Lin Yao sighed with emotion, and then helplessly spread his hands.

"It's just... Junior Sister, forgive Senior Brother for being incapable. I, your Senior Brother, can barely handle these Second Order Demon Beasts.

But the value of these Third Rank Demonic Beasts, especially this Third Order Late Stage one, has already far surpassed Second Order Demon Beasts by a hundredfold! I, your Senior Brother, truly... cannot afford them."

However, he immediately added, "But don't worry! I can immediately contact the Sect! The Sect has always welcomed the corpses of such high-grade Yao Beasts! The price will definitely be fair!"

"Then I shall trouble Second Senior Brother." Ye Feiyan nodded, "Please, Senior Brother, estimate the total value of these Yao Beasts first."

...Half an hour later, when Lin Yao announced the final calculated price, which could be called astronomical.

Even with his Foundation Establishment Late Stage state of mind, his voice still carried an uncontrollable tremor.

"J-Junior Sister... the total value of these Yao Beast corpses is approximately... ten million... Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Ten million!

This number made Lin Yao himself feel dizzy, and his heart was filled with endless envy and jealousy.

Earning a full ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones in a single trip out!

What kind of concept is this?!

This was almost equivalent to the entire fortune of an ordinary Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

Knowing this value, Ye Feiyan finally let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.

She looked at Lin Yao, slowly opened her mouth, and stated her requirements.

"Second Senior Brother, I don't want Spirit Stones."

"I want to use these Yao Beast corpses to exchange three items with the Sect."

"First, a Grade Three Pill Furnace of superior quality."

"Second, all the Spirit Medicine required to refine the 'gold breaking pill'."

"And... third."

She paused, then subtly glanced at Mysterious Ink, who was quietly coiled beside her, before continuing.

"A complete portion of Low Grade Fourth Rank flood dragon essence blood."

Hearing the four words "flood dragon essence blood," Mysterious Ink, who had been sitting as still as an old monk in meditation, flashed an imperceptible hint of a smile in his deep snake pupils.

He knew.

This flood dragon essence blood was specially exchanged by this woman for him.

Well... she was thoughtful.

"Good!"

Lin Yao slapped his thigh, his face filled with the unique enthusiasm and straightforwardness of a businessman, "Junior Sister, don't worry! Leave this matter to Senior Brother!

Within five days at most, the Sect will deliver the Pill Furnace, Spirit Medicine, and that flood dragon essence blood! At that time, I will send all these Yao Beast corpses back to the Sect!"

After he finished speaking, his gaze couldn't help but fall upon Mysterious Ink, who was quietly coiled on the side, his eyes filled with genuine envy.

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Mysterious Ink truly has good luck."

He said with deep emotion, "To be able to meet a loyal and righteous master like Junior Sister, who is actually willing to spend such a Heaven-Defying price to purchase Fourth Rank flood dragon essence blood to help it transform its Bloodline. Such devotion is truly rare in the entire Cultivation World."

Naturally, he could tell that the priceless flood dragon essence blood was bought by Ye Feiyan for Mysterious Ink.

Hearing Lin Yao's words, which were full of "insight," Mysterious Ink slowly raised his massive head, and actually spoke human words, lazily replying in a magnetic young man's voice.

"Hmph, this woman treats me reasonably well."

The moment the voice fell.

Ye Feiyan's already cold and beautiful face instantly flushed bright red.

Of course, this wasn't shyness.

It was... embarrassment!

Because Lin Yao's words were completely reversed!

What did he mean Mysterious Ink was lucky to have met her?

Clearly, it was Ye Feiyan who had accumulated eight lifetimes of great fortune to meet Mysterious Ink!

If it weren't for Mysterious Ink, forget about Foundation Establishment Peak now; she probably would have died long ago in Qingyang City under the continuous assassinations orchestrated by the Grand Elder's Faction!

She glared fiercely at the bastard snake who had gained an advantage and was still acting smug, and then hastily said to Lin Yao, "Second Senior Brother, then it's settled. Notify me when the items arrive."

After speaking, she didn't linger for a moment, as if afraid that if she said anything more, her secrets would be completely exposed. She pulled Mysterious Ink and fled the Myriad Beast Pavilion as if escaping.

Watching the retreating figures of the woman and the beast, the smile on Lin Yao's face slowly faded, replaced by a deep look of surprise and amusement.

"Interesting..." He rubbed his chin and muttered softly, "Which ordinary Battle Beast isn't respectful in front of its master? This fellow actually dared to call his own master 'woman,' and Junior Sister... didn't show any sign of Life Qi?"

"This pair, one human and one beast, is truly interesting."

...On the way out of the Myriad Beast Pavilion.

On the bustling streets of Three Seas City, Mysterious Ink's thought, full of a strange, half-smile and Yin and Yang sarcasm, slowly sounded in Ye Feiyan's mind.

"Tsk tsk, did you hear that? Everyone says I was lucky to meet such a good woman like you."

"..."

Ye Feiyan's cheeks flushed even redder with embarrassment, almost looking like they could bleed.

She gave a dry laugh and quickly corrected him, "My luck is good, my luck is good, for meeting you."

She looked at Mysterious Ink, who was strolling leisurely beside her, her tone filled with unprecedented sincerity.

"Seriously, Mysterious Ink, being able to achieve such a huge harvest today is entirely thanks to you. If it weren't for you..."

"Alright, alright," Mysterious Ink directly interrupted her upcoming "long speech," "Stop saying useless things. If you want to thank me, make it practical."

Practical?

Ye Feiyan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then her cold phoenix eyes suddenly lit up!

She knew!

This guy had absolutely no interest in Spirit Stones, Magic Treasures, or Cultivation Techniques; he was only fond of one thing: "eating"!
