With you acting like this, it's hard for me to believe you.

"Brother, are you joking?"

Pu Genshuo looked at Qi Yuan strangely, his expression speechless. "Do you think the heavenly apex body forging pill is like Chinese cabbage? Even if we emptied the secret vault of the Tianji Holy Land, we couldn't scrape together fifty heavenly apex body forging pills."

Qi Yuan sighed, looking troubled. "What kind of figure is the Celestial Pole Dao Son? How could he not even bring out a mere heavenly apex body forging pill? If you are like this, it is hard for me to believe you."

"This..." Pu Genshuo hesitated.

He had to consider that there was a Spirit Transformation Realm array spirit in the hall; he could not just throw away his face and use force.

As for fifty heavenly apex body forging pills, that was even more impossible; he could not afford them even if he sold himself...

Seeing the other party still hesitating, Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, rubbed his nose, and immediately added:

"Brother Piao, although keeping this Token is useless to me, I cannot just hand it over to you directly. Otherwise, if the real Celestial Pole Dao Son comes looking for it, wouldn't I be in big trouble?"

"To be safe, why don't I post a 'lost and found' notice in the Cultivation World so that everyone knows I found the Celestial Pole Dao Son's Token."

"If no one comes to claim it within three months, I will hand it over to you then. Even if the Celestial Pole Dao Son comes to trouble me later, I will have a reason to explain myself. What do you think?"

"Brother, you absolutely must not do that!"

Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Pu Genshuo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to stop him.

If this 'lost and found' notice were to spread, it would not take long for the entire Cultivation World to know that the dignified Celestial Pole Dao Son had lost his identity Token and that it had been picked up by someone else.

As the saying goes, good news does not leave the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles. There are plenty of gossip-loving spectators in the Cultivation World; with a bit of embellishment, who knows how outrageous the rumors would become.

By then, it would not just be him losing face; the entire Tianji Holy Land would lose face as well. Plus, since the Token was lost while he was visiting a brothel, his Sect Head Revered Master would definitely clean house personally.

Thinking of this, Pu Genshuo immediately gave up struggling. With a pained expression, he took a jade bottle out of his Storage Pouch and said through gritted teeth:

"Brother, didn't you want the heavenly apex body forging pill? I really do not have fifty, but I only have three on me right now. I will give them all to you!"

At the same time, Pu Genshuo's heart was bleeding.

These three heavenly apex body forging pills were specially bestowed upon him by the Holy Land when he had just become the Dao Son. Because this Medicinal Pill was too precious, he had been reluctant to consume it, waiting until he was about to make a Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm. He had not expected them to end up benefitting someone else.

Medicinal Pills in the world are divided into seven levels. According to their effects and rarity, they are, from top to bottom: Immortal, Dao, Saint, Heaven, Profound, and Yellow.

Among them, Yellow Rank Medicinal Pills are the lowest and most common. The Qi Gathering Pill taken by Qi Refining Realm Cultivators belongs to the Elementary Yellow Rank, which any alchemist can easily refine.

The Foundation Establishment Pill used by Cultivators for Foundation Establishment belongs to the Intermediate Profound Rank, and alchemists who can refine Profound Rank Medicinal Pills are called Profound Rank alchemists.

The heavenly apex body forging pill can help a Cultivator refine their Physical Body and greatly increase the user's Physical Body strength. It is a genuine Saint Rank Medicinal Pill. Although it is only Elementary Saint Rank, its value is far above Heaven Rank Medicinal Pills.

As for the creation mending heaven pill that Qi Yuan was looking for, it is an Advanced Saint Rank Medicinal Pill, even rarer than the heavenly apex body forging pill. This level of Medicinal Pill is rare and cannot be measured by Spirit Stones.

"Easy to talk, easy to talk."

Taking the invaluable bottle of heavenly apex body forging pills, Qi Yuan's expression remained indifferent, but he was already overjoyed inside.

This time, he had made a huge profit!

He had only made a spur-of-the-moment attempt to test the guy, but he did not expect this kid to actually have heavenly apex body forging pills on him, and he gave away three at once...

After calmly confirming the authenticity of the Medicinal Pills, his gaze towards the Celestial Pole Dao Son became increasingly warm, as if he were looking at a rare "big sucker."

"Brother, I've even given you the heavenly apex body forging pills, you can trust me now, right?"

Seeing Qi Yuan accept the Medicinal Pills, Pu Genshuo hurriedly rubbed his palms together and urged, "Quickly return the Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Token to me. I'm still waiting to go to the Zuihuan Tower to relax."

At times like this, only the warm embrace of the ladies could soothe his wounded little heart...

Qi Yuan's mouth curled slightly. With a calm expression, he put the heavenly apex body forging pills into his Storage Pouch and said indifferently:

"Considering our relationship, three is fine. However, since I'm handing such an important item over to you, you should give me some kind of Token. That jade pendant hanging on your waist looks pretty good..."

"What?!"

Before he could finish, Pu Genshuo subconsciously covered the jade pendant at his waist, staring at Qi Yuan with extreme vigilance, and exclaimed, "This nine luminaries luo pendant is a top-grade defensive Magic Treasure. Don't you dare have any crooked ideas."

Seeing the other party being so cautious, Qi Yuan put on a pure smile and patted his chest, guaranteeing:

"Don't worry, I don't want your jade pendant. I mean you should leave this jade pendant with me for safekeeping for a while, and I'll return it to you after the storm blows over."

"Just think, my cultivation is only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, and you are a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator. You wouldn't be afraid of me cheating you out of your things, right?"

"If I dare not return it to you afterwards, you can easily snatch it back and beat me up along the way. Don't you think that makes sense?"

While speaking, he took out the Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Token from his Storage Pouch and waved it in front of Pu Genshuo.

"You can come to me, Qi Da, to ask for it in three months. The Senior array spirit definitely won't interfere in such matters."

That's right!

No matter what, Qi Da is only in the Qi Refining Realm; is he really afraid that he would cheat him out of his things?

Pu Genshuo thought about it and felt that Qi Yuan's words made a lot of sense. He immediately untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Qi Yuan.

"You better look after it well, and don't lose it."

Qi Yuan nodded, took the jade pendant with a smile, and immediately threw the Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Token back to the other party. "Don't worry, how could I possibly lose such a good Magic Treasure."

Looking at the recovered Dao Son Token in his hand, for some reason, Pu Genshuo found that he was not as happy as he imagined, and instead, he felt like crying...

"Alright then, Brother, I'll take my leave. Let's meet again later."

After speaking, Pu Genshuo accepted the Token with a depressed expression, cupped his hands to Qi Yuan with forced enthusiasm, and then turned to leave.

His footsteps seemed heavy and desolate, much like the feeling of having both his purse and body emptied after visiting a brothel...

...

At this moment, the expressions of the Falling Cloud Valley crowd in the hall were somewhat complicated.

No one here was a fool. From the moment Pu Genshuo took out that bottle of heavenly apex body forging pills, his identity as the Celestial Pole Dao Son was obvious.

After all, anyone qualified to obtain three heavenly apex body forging pills must occupy a high status within the Tianji Holy Land. Coupled with his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, who else could it be but the Celestial Pole Dao Son?

The arrival of the real Celestial Pole Dao Son was originally a ground-shaking major event for Falling Cloud Valley and was completely worthy of being treated with caution.

But at this critical juncture, the people of Falling Cloud Valley had long been shocked to numbness by a series of events. A Celestial Pole Dao Son who suddenly appeared at this moment did not seem to be very exciting.

If you want to blame someone, blame that person for being too much of a Prodigy; every move was completely unexpected, leaving everyone exhausted. From start to finish, their jaws had not closed once; they were almost dislocated.

"Cough, cough—"

In the eerie silence, the Falling Cloud Valley Sect Head, Bai Qingwu, who had been unconscious, suddenly coughed violently twice, then slowly woke up, his slowly opening eyes still filled with a trace of confusion...
