Queen Lian, the golden-robed man, and Chang Fengxu were all shocked. They all looked over at Zhang Ruochen.
Not everyone was able to shell out 60 million saint stones.
Zhang Ruochen obviously didn't have 60 million saint stones, but this wasn't his problem.
He looked over at Ji Fanxin and said, "Xin'er, take it out!"
This time, Ji Fanxin didn't have any objections. She touched her spatial bracelet. Light flashed and a delicate box appeared in her hands. She handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
He obviously wouldn't think that 60 million saint stones fit in that box, nor would he think that Ji Fanxin would carry so many saint stones with her.
This must be a priceless treasure.
Six Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon, Water Moon Saint Goblet.
Ji Fanxin's gentle voice sounded in Zhang Ruochen's ears.
Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked. Ji Fanxin was willing to take out something like a Six Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon to save her senior sister. She was so selfless.
If she wasn't desperate to save her senior sister, how could she give something like the Water Moon Saint Goblet to the Yin and Yang Palace?
Taking the box, Zhang Ruochen pressed on the surface and broke the layer of light seals. After opening the box, dazzling light shone out immediately, illuminating the Euphoria Underground Palace like the sun.
Queen Lian and the golden-robed man both had great vision, so they recognized it immediately. "A Six Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon," they said in unison.
"Okay, deal." Queen Lian agreed without even thinking.
After all, with her status, she only had one Five Yao weapon. She'd used up all her savings to buy it too.
If she could receive this Six Yao weapon—Water Moon Saint Goblet—then she would become more powerful.
"Wait." The golden-robed man seemed to have made an extremely important decision. He took out a box too and said, "I had my eyes on the lady from the Peony Race first. She should be mine. I have a heaven grade divine pill here, Bodhi Asking Buddha Pill. It's not any weaker than the Six Yao weapon."
"A heaven divine pill?"
All of the cultivators present were tempted.
After all, even a Supreme Saint would be tempted by a heaven divine pill, so it was much more shocking for a Saint and Saint King.
He can even produce a heaven divine pill. Who exactly is he?
Zhang Ruochen had never seen a heaven divine pill before, so he was slightly excited.
The Fairy Extreme King had once mentioned the Seven Emotions Ancient Pill, a heaven divine pill. Apparently, that pill had very strong offensive abilities. Any creature that was within 300 miles would be attacked with Spiritual Power.
The Bodhi Asking Buddha Pill was at the same level, so it must be very powerful too.
"No, I'm only keeping the Bodhi Asking Buddha Pill at the Yin and Yang Palace temporarily. If you give me one month's time, I'll return with 60 million saint stones and exchange for the pill."
The golden-robed man would never use the Bodhi Asking Buddha Pill to buy a slave. Even he would have trouble getting a second one.
Disappointment colored Queen Lian's eyes. Laughing, she said, "So you're only keeping it here temporarily? I thought you would actually be willing to pay with a heaven divine pill. Between 60 million saint stones and a Six Yao weapon, I'll obviously choose the latter, ha."
She walked to Zhang Ruochen and smiled mesmerizingly at him while taking the box.
Zhang Ruochen's Spiritual Power seemed to have been swallowed up by some invisible power. He fell into a hallucinatory world. Only he and Queen Lian were in this world.
"No, it's a charm spell…"
Zhang Ruochen hurriedly woke up and took several steps back. He avoided Queen Lian as if she were a scorpion.
His face under the mask was covered in cold sweat. He felt his scalp going numb.
Charm spells were a type of Spiritual Power attack.
Just then, the Unfounded Pearl had blocked most of Queen Lian's charm spell, but Zhang Ruochen had almost fallen into it.
One could imagine how terrifying Queen Lian's Spiritual Power was.
Ji Fanxin knew how powerful Queen Lian was. Earlier, she saw Queen Lian release a charm spell on Zhang Ruochen, so she wanted to use Spiritual Power to help him. But before she did that, Zhang Ruochen had already cleared his mind.
He's only a half-step Saint King, but his mind is already so strong. Ji Fanxin was quite impressed.
Queen Lian was also surprised. She didn't think that the charm spell that she was so proud of couldn't even manage a half-step Saint King. Her curiosity multiplied.
"Queen Lian," Zhang Ruochen said, a bit annoyed, "are you trying to trick an esteemed guest of the Yin and Yang Palace to steal this Six Yao weapon? Aren't you afraid of ruining the palace's reputation? No one will want to come anymore."
"Little boy, I just wanted to play with you."
Queen Lian's gentle hand caressed Zhang Ruochen's chest. Her curvy frame was half-pressed onto his body.
Earlier, there was some distance between Zhang Ruochen and Queen Lian. But now that she was against him, Zhang Ruochen couldn't avoid her anymore.
He kept retreating, but Queen Lian stuck to him like a petal that couldn't be brushed off.
Sensing the huge difference in cultivation, Zhang Ruochen was naturally terrified and tense.
"Why are you so nervous? Am I that scary?"
Queen Lian's eyes were gentle, but she still grew suspicious. She felt that Zhang Ruochen's reaction wasn't normal.
He'd come to the Yin and Yang Palace and even used a Six Yao weapon to buy a slave. How come he seemed to be scared of women?
Zhang Ruochen was worried that Queen Lian would grow suspicious, so he relaxed and smiled wryly. "I'm just afraid that I'll be turned into your Yang medicine."
He'd read about Queen Lian before and knew that her cultivation technique was unique. If she continued to steal Yang Qi from men, then she could improve quickly.
Queen Lian wrapped an arm around Zhang Ruochen's neck and forced him to the wall. Fluttering her lashes, she murmured, "I don't care. You have so much Yang Qi in you. You have thousands of times more than others. What are you afraid of? Can't you give me some?"
No matter how pretty Queen Lian was, Zhang Ruochen wasn't interested in her at all. Instead, he felt disgusted and wanted to push her aside.
But if he did, he would probably be buried in the Yin and Yang Palace today.
He looked over at Ji Fanxin.
But Ji Fanxin just shook her head lightly and turned back, no longer looking at him and Queen Lian.
What? She'll let me feed the demon with my body to save her senior sister? Zhang Ruochen was speechless.
In the distance, the golden-robed man was unhappy. "Queen Lian, can't you reconsider? I can raise the price to 65 million saint stones."
"Leave," Queen Lian growled.
"What did you say?"
Fury rose in the golden-robed man's eyes and he clenched his fists tightly.
But when Queen Lian glared at him, the man's heart quivered. He realized that Queen Lian was a very terrifying figure. He relaxed his fists and left the Euphoria Underground Palace without another word.
Chang Fengxu knew that Queen Lian had her eyes on this dragon race man, so whoever disturbed her now would be in trouble.
Thus, he left the palace too and chased after the golden-robed man to apologize. After all, that man was very powerful too and couldn't be offended.
Oh no, my powerful and rich Yang Qi is fatally attractive to Queen Lian. I'll probably have to feed the demon with my body today as a compromise.
Zhang Ruochen hated Queen Lian, but he couldn't repress his emotions.
"Great, no one will bother us now! Come with me."
With alluring eyes, Queen Lian dove into Zhang Ruochen's arms and hugged his waist with an ivory arm. She led him into the depths of the palace.
Zhang Ruochen looked back at Ji Fanxin with sharp eyes.
He used his eyes to tell Ji Fanxin to start acting. With her cultivation, she could probably injure Queen Lian heavily without alerting anyone.
If they had Queen Lian as a hostage, they should be able to make it out of the Yin and Yang Palace.
Ji Fanxin lowered her head to think carefully for a moment. Finally, she had a solution. If she attacked impulsively, they would only have a 20% chance of making it out successfully.
They still hadn't undone the formation in the Yin and Yang Palace. If she attacked now, it would be suicide.
Queen Lian was also strong in Spiritual Power, so Ji Fanxin didn't send a telepathic message. Instead, she raised her head and shot a look at Zhang Ruochen, as if saying, Don't worry. Queen Lian will only take some of your Yang Qi. She won't kill you.
Seeing Ji Fanxin's eyes, Zhang Ruochen was completely despaired. He let out a long sigh.
At the bottom of the Euphoria Underground Palace, there was a Yin and Yang pool.
The two pools were the same size—both 130 feet wide—and shone with blue and red light respectively. Strands of Yin Qi and Yang Qi converged from all directions and landed in the Yin and Yang pools, liquifying constantly.
The Yin Qi and Yang Qi are coming from the top. Could it be…
Zhang Ruochen thought of the female corpses in the ditch. They'd all died from exhaustion of Yin. Could it be that their Yin Qi was gathered here?
There was so much Yin and Yang power gathered in the pools. To a cultivator from the Yin and Yang Field, this was the best cultivation land.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen observing the pools, Queen Lian smiled. "Dear, the existence of the Yin and Yang pools is the biggest secret of the Yin and Yang Palace. You can't tell anyone about it!"
She was confident in her allure. If she and Zhang Ruochen made love once, he would definitely fall in love with that feeling and listen to her from now on.
She leaned toward Zhang Ruochen again. Suddenly, she seemed to have heard a telepathic message. She stopped instantly, expression growing serious.
After a moment of hesitation, she smiled again. "A large figure has come to the Yin and Yang Palace. I must go meet him. Wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
Whoosh!
She flashed and vanished from Zhang Ruochen's eyes.
He let out a long sigh and was very relieved. Obviously, he wouldn't continue to wait here. He raced out immediately.
…
Ji Fanxin's senior sister, Pill Spirit King, was already being released from the pagoda structure. Chang Fengxu and Ji Fanxin were doing the exchange.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen, they were both surprised.
"It already…ended?"
Chang Fengxu found it unbelievable. He was a half-step Saint King, after all. No matter how fast he was, it had only been 15 minutes.
Ji Fanxin also thought that Zhang Ruochen had already done it with Queen Lian, so she pursed her lips with an apologetic expression.
Zhang Ruochen had a serious expression and sent Spiritual Power to Ji Fanxin. Don't ask anything. Don't say anything. Let's get out of here first.
After a while, the two brought the unconscious Pill Spirit King out of the Euphoria Underground Palace. Qing Liaoya, who'd been guarding the entrance, had already left.
The Evil Way cultivators were all walking toward somewhere hurriedly. It was the grandest pavilion.
All the demons were moving together.
This commotion was like an emperor had arrived. It seemed that an incredible figure truly had come to the Yin and Yang Palace.
Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin took this chance to leave with the Pill Spirit King.
