Chapter 15

“I’m very curious about what Elder Ye is up to. Ten thousand spirit stones is not a small amount.”

“Who is Elder Ye actually? He was able to take out five hundred thousand spirit stones earlier, but why is he reluctant to spend ten thousand now? This is not in line with his usual style.”

“You obviously can’t take out any spirit stones, yet you’re still trying to act mysterious and sensationalize.”

In the face of everyone’s mockery, Han Yue’s eyes fell on Ye Xuan. Anyone with eyes could see that she was in a bad mood now.

“Elder Ye, do you have anything to say?”

“Aren’t you all curious about why I’ve invited the porters?” Ye Xuan said unhurriedly, “Come with me and you’ll know.”

Looking at Ye Xuan’s calm back, the other elders looked at each other, “Hmph, he’s still being stubborn. I’d like to see how he’ll end this.”

The group immediately followed. Halfway through, they saw a strange light in front of them. It was like a sparkling lake that reflected different lights under the sunlight.

“What’s that in front? It’s so shiny.”

When the crowd got closer and saw it clearly, they thought they were hallucinating.

“I… I’m not dreaming, am I?” someone stammered.

It was a neat row of steps, extending from the foot of the mountain. This was not the main point. The main point was that all the steps were covered with night-luminescent pearls.

The scene was simply dreamy to the extreme. Plump, round, and large night-luminescent pearls were embedded on the steps. It was obvious that they were of perfect quality. Moreover, any one of them was several times larger than the one Xie Yixuan had given to the sect master earlier. They were simply best of the best.

Originally, everyone had thought that the night-luminescent pearl on the ring was already the best, but now it was like a grain of white rice among so many night-luminescent pearls. It was really too unremarkable.

If you don’t compare yourself with others, you won’t get hurt. Everyone finally understood this principle now.

It even gave everyone the illusion that they were not night-luminescent pearls, but cabbages that could be seen everywhere.

“Are night-luminescent pearls so easy to obtain nowadays?”

“Wake up, only Elder Ye has the ability. Don’t talk about one, you can’t even afford half a pearl.”

“So many night-luminescent pearls. How many spirit stones would it cost?”

“At a rough glance, it’s almost one hundred thousand pearls.”

Everyone couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, “One hundred thousand light-luminescent pearls, and they are of such high quality. How much would it cost?”

“This isn’t a matter of spirit stones. This is simply priceless and can’t be measured in spirit stones! Look at the night-luminescent pearls that are currently on the market, which one can compare to these?”

“I heard that the city lord has a top-grade night-luminescent pearl. It’s said to be his family heirloom that has been around for more than a hundred years. I was lucky enough to see it before. It’s indeed extraordinary. But compared to this…”

Moreover, the city lord extremely cherished the pearl and wiped it every day. Whilst the one in front of him was casually laid on the steps and would even be trampled under the feet of others in the future.

When everyone thought of this possibility, they felt as if their breathing had stopped.

To be able to step on the steps paved with one hundred thousand night-luminescent pearls. How proud was this? It was simply inhumane to be rich, and it could be boasted about for a lifetime.

All the disciples’ expressions became excited, and they looked at Ye Xuan with respect and admiration.

“Elder Ye is a ruthless person! He’s the only one who’s capable of using one hundred thousand night-luminescent pearls to cover the ground.”

“It would be great if I could become Elder Ye’s disciple. Although his cultivation level isn’t high, what’s there to be afraid of with such a rich master? I can use night-luminescent pearls to smash people to death in the future.”

“Don’t even think about it. I’m Elder Ye’s disciple!”

“You stinky and shameless person. You were the one who spoke ill of Elder Ye just now. But now you still have the face to be his disciple.”

“You’re making it seems like you didn’t say anything.”

Shen Hai’s expression was particularly unsightly when he saw the disciples’ faces turn red when arguing and their spittle sprayed everywhere, even almost spraying on his face.

Xie Yixuan and some elders were equally unhappy.

“This Ye Xuan! If I had known that he was using night-luminescent pearls to lay the ground, I wouldn’t have let him have his way no matter what.”

Who would’ve thought that Ye Xuan didn’t play by the rules? Ordinary people would worship such precious night-luminescent pearls like a Bodhisattva, but he just gave it to these porters so casually, and it was even used to pave the steps.

On second thought, they would probably treat them like stones on the side of the road and not care at all too if they had so many night-luminescent pearls.

However, they were not Ye Xuan. This realization made everyone feel vexed and helpless. Then, it turned into deep jealousy and they stared at Ye Xuan.

But not all elders were like this. After all, there were not many people who could casually take out so many night-luminescent pearls and use them to lay the ground, although Ye Xuan’s cultivation was not high enough.

However, wealth was also a part of one’s strength. This kind of temperament and courage was also not something ordinary people could achieve.

“Sect master is an immortal and should not be tainted with the secular world. I’m willing to pave the ground with night-luminescent pearls to show my sincerity.”

“Isn’t this road leading to the sect master’s residence?”

When Han Yue heard this, her heart could not help but be moved. Although she had seen many treasures in the upper realm, and the night-luminescent pearls were not precious to her, she didn’t have so many pearls either.

After all, such courage was rare even in the upper realm. Even those rich prodigal sons were not like him.

This Ye Xuan was indeed not simple.
