In the imperial palace, in the backyard.

Emperor Wu Yang, Wu Yunan, and the man in green were sitting together. Their eyes were fixated on the pure white Source Spirit Pill in their hands. When they heard Shui Ruo Yan's words, they raised their heads as if they were surprised.

"Are you sure she's talking about an existence that even the royal family's backers can't afford to offend?"

The man nodded, a trace of anger still lingering on his face.

When Wu Yunan saw this, he chuckled and said, "Brother Feng, don't take it to heart. This girl is indeed a bit stubborn. But when it comes to this matter, you are in the wrong."

That man curled his lips. He thought, [I followed your instructions to bid for this supreme dan bead, yet didn't bully others and forcefully take it from them. How can I be wrong to pay so many spirit stones?]

Wu Yunan laughed again, "Brother Feng, your mistake was because you had always thought that Yun Xie did not have the ability to pay those fifty Medial Grade Spirit Stones!"

Oh? The light robed man was also pondering. Everyone knew about the Yun Family's wealth, Yun Xie himself could not even afford fifty spirit stones, how could he be wrong?

"You need to know that the credibility of the Celestial Trading Company cannot be questioned. Shui Ruo Yan has already repeatedly told you that Yun Xie has the ability to pay, but you kept rebutting her. In that case, aren't you asking for trouble?"

"But the Yun clan …" The azure-robed man also responded urgently.

"Ai, why are you still in a daze!" Wu Yunan also slapped his forehead, "The Yun Family is indeed unable to take out any spirit stones, but since the Skypiercing Trading Company has confirmed that Yun Xie is able to take them out, that means he has the ability. As for why this is the case, there must be a reason that we do not know."

"For example, that Purple Gold Card …"

Hearing this, the light robed man understood a little. At that time, he was the first to think that Yun Xie was just messing around, but he had forgotten about the Celestial Trading Company's notification.

"Your majesty, Elder Mo is here."

"Alright."

A white-haired old man came to the back garden. Although he was quite old, he was still spirited and his face was glowing. His name was Mo Xiaoran, he was a Tier 2 pill refiner.

"Old Mo, do you recognize this?" The Martial Emperor passed the Source Spirit Pill in his hand forward.

Mo Xiao Ran placed the pill on her palm and looked at it. She then placed it in front of her nose and sniffed a few times. She then shouted in shock.

"Source Spirit Pill!" It is even a high rank Yuan Spirit Pill. The aroma is so strong, and there are some traces of dan clouds! "

The Martial Emperor smiled and nodded his head.

"Your majesty, where did this come from?"

"The Skypalace Trading Company."

"Impossible!" Mo Xiao Ran denied it because he knew what Old Xu was capable of and also knew how capable the Skypiercing Trading Company was in Wu Yang. After all, in this small place, it was only a small branch.

"No one in the Celestial Trading Company is able to concoct this pill. If there really is such a pill, they wouldn't even take it out to auction in such a small place!"

The Martial Monarch mused for a moment. He had also thought of this point and this was something that he could not figure out. Hence, he invited Elder Mo to see if he could see the origin of this divine pill.

"From what Elder Mo has seen, who can concoct this pill?"

Mo Xiao Ran's face was full of seriousness as he said in a low voice, "This old man had the good fortune to see the Medicine Sect's sect head concoct this pill. Even its fragrance was not as pure as this pill. This person is at least a great pill refiner!"

What!

The Martial King who was sitting on the stone bench slapped the table and stood up. He seemed to be frightened by Old Mo's answer. After all, he was the lord of a country and had seen a lot. He naturally knew of the great pill refiner's weight! If that was the case, then this pill was most likely something that a great pill refiner had placed in the Skypalace Merchant House. Such a world-shaking figure was actually in his imperial city!

To be able to be so courteously defended by the Tong Tian Merchant House, or perhaps the existence that they could not afford to offend, was only this great pill refiner!

Then what about the Yun Family?

He thought that Yun Xie was just messing around for no reason at all, but the attitude of the Skypalace Merchant House towards him caused him to suspect that the Yun Family definitely had an existence that they could not ignore, so the only person that the Skypalace Merchant Guild was wary of was this mysterious Great Pill Refiner!

The Martial Monarch had his hands behind his back as he paced back and forth in the courtyard. His forehead was beaded with sweat. It seemed that he was no longer in a position to decide whether a great pill refiner was good or bad coming to Wu Yang! How could he not be worried?

Just the Yun Family and this pill refiner? At this moment, when he recalled the majestic aura that came from the Yun Family that night, he could not help but shudder!

So that's how it was!

He turned around and asked the light robed man, "Brother Feng! "Think carefully. How did Miss Shui treat Yun Xie at the auction just now?"

His attitude towards Yun Xie?

The light robed man frowned, as if he had realized something. He was the representative of the Martial King realm at that time, and he was also a Xiantian realm expert. Yet, he was actually mocked and ridiculed by the man there, and that annoying Yun Xie was actually being protected!

He also said with a congealed voice, "There is indeed something fishy. It seems that the Celestial Trading Company has always been defending him."

When the Martial Monarch heard this, he understood that the Yun Family must be related to this great pill refiner! Even if it wasn't the Yun Family, that Yun Xie was definitely there! It was just that this child had grown up right under his nose. How could he not know his true personality?

It seemed like he needed to make a trip to the Residence of Yun to see Old Man Yun.

"Old Mo, can you concoct this pill?"

Mo Xiao Ran returned the Primordial Spirit Pill to the jade vase and shook his head. His heart was filled with shock as well. Since when did a mysterious great pill refiner appear in the imperial city? His strength was not the slightest bit inferior to the head of the Medicine Sect! When he thought about it carefully, he did not have a clue.

"This Yuan Spirit Pill belongs to the Breaking Stage Pill and is used for cultivators to break through to the next stage. These pill recipes are extremely precious and are not easily passed down to outsiders."

"Secondly, compared to ordinary pills, an advanced tier pill is several times more difficult to concoct. The process is complicated, and not something an ordinary pill refiner can concoct."

Mo Xiao Ran explained to the two as he cupped his hands and bowed, "Your majesty, you must be careful!"

The Martial Emperor had a worried expression. How could he not know the meaning behind Elder Mo's words? To be able to concoct such a pill was definitely not an ordinary person. If anything went wrong with his territory, it would be a disaster for him, as if his entire country had been destroyed!

Now that the western border was in chaos and there was such a huge hidden danger within the Imperial City, the Martial Monarch was caught unprepared. He seemed to be unable to defend himself.

"Give the order that no one from the royal family is allowed to leave the palace in the near future, and that no one is allowed to stir up any trouble!"

Right now, the only thing he could do was to restrain his own people. As for the rest, he would just wait and see.

"Hai."

The Martial King held his forehead and sighed. After thinking about it again, there were many strange things happening in the Imperial City recently, all of them seemed to have something to do with the Yun Family, and all of them seemed to have something to do with Yun Xie! However, no matter what, he could not relate a noble pill refiner to a good-for-nothing young master.

However, there were many indications that it was related to Yun Xie!

It looked like not only did he have to pay a visit to Old Man Yun, this junior would also have to pay a visit to him!
