Chapter 181: The Invitation From Qiao Shaoshan

When the middle-aged man met someone who understood the trade, he stopped pretending and said directly, “Two hundred will be fine. Consider it a little gift from me, young brother. Take this Flame Spirit Stone; you won’t regret spending your two hundred spirit stones.”

Yun Yi smiled, put away the Flame Spirit Stone, then took out two hundred lower grade spirit stones and handed them to the middle-aged man before turning around with Black Wind and leaving.

Yun Yi had already explored the entire outer area, so he felt no attachment. He left the outer area with Black Wind and headed towards the living quarters in the inner area.

“Black Wind, what is really inside this Flame Spirit Stone?”

Yun Yi asked curiously. His soul power was very sharp, and he had not sensed anything unusual about the Flame Spirit Stone, but he believed that Black Wind would not make a baseless claim.

“You’ll find out when we get back. It will definitely surprise you. My sense is never wrong. There is definitely something amazing inside this thing,” Black Wind said with great confidence.

“Okay, let’s go back and see.”

Yun Yi felt a surge of excitement; he could hardly wait. If the treasures inside could help him advance his skills, it would truly be a dream come true.

Right now, what Yun Yi desired most was strength and skill. After seeing the true talents of various powerful people with Xiao Ruoshui, he realized that even though he was improving quickly, he was still not at the same level as those geniuses.

So, Yun Yi knew that he had to keep improving his skills to close the gap between himself and those talents, and to truly stand at a higher level among the younger generation of Xuanzhou State.

At that moment, by the gate of the courtyard, a girl in a red dress was waiting there.

When she saw Yun Yi return, the girl in red immediately went to meet him.

“Young Master Yun.”

The girl in red stepped forward and bowed. Yun Yi recognized her; she was the one who had brought them to the VIP area during the day.

The current girl in red held immense respect for Yun Yi. Anyone who could casually produce three Wash Marrow Pills was not someone to be taken lightly.

“Miss Hongyi, why have you come to see me so late? Is there something you need?”

Yun Yi opened his mouth to ask, appearing calm on the outside, but inside he was starting to feel a bit excited. He knew that his aim was likely achieved.

“Young Master Yun, our village leader wishes to see you. He sent Hongyi to invite you.”

Hongyi began to speak, and the way she looked at Yun Yi couldn’t help but change again. It is known that the Peace Conference has been held for many years, with countless young genius disciples attending each year, all being the top talents from Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State.

However, Qiao Shaoshan had never invited anyone on his own, even for those super geniuses from the Lingyuan Realm. Gaining Qiao Shaoshan’s favor was extremely difficult.

Yet today, Qiao Shaoshan unexpectedly made an exception and invited a boy whose cultivation was only at the innate realm. If this word got out, many people would be shocked, and Yun Yi would quickly become the focus of the two great states.

Of course, Hongyi was not foolish; she knew that Qiao Shaoshan wanted to meet Yun Yi mainly because of the perfect Wash Marrow Pill in Yun Yi’s hands, or rather, Qiao Shaoshan wanted to see the person who made this medicine.

“Alright, Miss Hongyi, please lead the way.”

Yun Yi smiled. Taking the first step towards Qiao Shaoshan was considered a success, and next, he had to seize the opportunity. After all, just meeting Qiao Shaoshan didn’t guarantee he would get the Ice Heart Saliva.

“Young Master Yun, this way please.”

The woman in red made a gesture for them to follow and led the way.

In the center of Peace Villa, there was a luxurious palace. This palace was the home of Qiao Shaoshan and the most important place in Peace Villa, where ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

At this moment, in the very spacious hall, it was brightly lit, and there were two people, one sitting and one standing.

The man sitting, looking to be in his forties, wore a blue robe with a bright red flame embroidered on his chest. His face was sharply chiseled, and he had an intimidating presence even without being angry. His bright red hair added to his impressive aura.

The only person who could hold this position in Peace Villa was Qiao Shaoshan.

Next to Qiao Shaoshan stood a beautiful woman, whose age seemed similar to Xiao Ruoshui. She wore a tight-fitting long dress in bright red, revealing her stunning figure. Her face was like water, her eyes like waves, giving off an indescribable charm.

She was so beautiful that, in terms of looks, she was almost equal to Xiao Ruoshui, but their presences were completely different: one was as warm as fire, and the other as cold as ice.

Qiao Shaoshan held a Wash Marrow Pill in his hand, examining it closely. “It’s so pure and perfect. I can’t even make a Wash Marrow Pill like this.”

“Adoptive father, I heard from the woman in red that the person who brought out this Wash Marrow Pill is just a boy from the Yanwu family who is at the sixth grade of the Innate Realm. I guess this pill must have been made by a powerful person backing him,” the woman spoke up.

“If that’s the case, I want to meet this boy even more,” Qiao Shaoshan said.

“Adoptive father, your stubborn illness has gotten worse, and we must solve it quickly,” the woman frowned and said.

“Unfortunately, in the entire Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State, there is no one who can treat my stubborn illness. That is why I have held the Peace Conference over the years, constantly meeting those young Medicine Pill Masters, hoping to see a miracle from them. But sadly, it seems I have thought too much. Leng Ji, I fear my stubborn illness will be hard to cure,” Qiao Shaoshan shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Adoptive father, don’t say that. There must be a way,” Leng Ji said, looking at her adoptive father with a face full of concern.

At that moment, Hong Yi walked in from outside and bowed to Qiao Shaoshan and Leng Ji, saying, “Master Qiao, young lady, Young Master Yun Yi has arrived.”

“Let him in,” Leng Ji said in an extremely cold tone. She did not think much of a boy in the sixth grade of the Innate Realm. If it were not for the appearance of the perfect Wash Marrow Pill today, no one in this great hall would be from the Innate Realm.

“Yes,” Hong Yi respectfully replied and turned to leave.

Before long, Yun Yi strode in confidently.

“Fuck, this girl is stunning,” Black Wind couldn’t help but say as soon as he saw Leng Ji.

Hearing this, Yun Yi almost sat down in shock and quickly covered the cat’s mouth with his hand.

Leng Ji’s eyes clearly flickered with a hint of anger, and Yun Yi could only smile awkwardly.

The beauty of Leng Ji surprised Yun Yi; he didn’t expect such a stunning beauty to be here with Qiao Shaoshan. Thankfully, Yun Yi had a great temperament, and having been with Xiao Ruoshui, he had seen many beautiful women, so he managed to stay calm.

“I am the younger generation of the Yanwu family, Yun Yi, and I greet Master Qiao,” Yun Yi clasped his hands and bowed to Qiao Shaoshan to ease the awkwardness.
