Chapter 3736 Miao Jiuxi

“This…”

When Zhao Qinglian finished speaking, the previously murderous Zhao Family members instantly deflated.

They were all Core Disciples, so naturally, they weren't brainless.

These people were very clear about how important the gambling house was to the Zhao Family; it was a huge business that brought in immense wealth daily, almost supporting half of the entire Family’s Cultivation resources.

Once their credibility was lost, it would be completely over. Such a loss could not be compensated by thirty million Immortal Crystals.

As for the Hundred Sects Tournament, there was no need to mention it. If they had just lost the competition here and then sent people to kill Ye Bufan, it would not only mean that the Zhao Family couldn't afford to lose and would lose all face, but it would also violate the authority of the Three Sects.

When the Three Great Sects became enraged, the consequences would be more than the Zhao Family could bear.

Perhaps they would even be expelled from the ranks of the Seven Great Families and would never again have the opportunity to participate in the Hundred Sects Tournament.

Thinking of the severity of these consequences, these people had nothing more to say. Although they were angry, they could only silently endure it.

Zhao Qinglian glanced at Zhao Xing: “You go back now and pay according to the contract. Don't be short even one Immortal Crystal.”

“Yes!”

With the Grand Elder’s command, Zhao Xing no longer had any doubts. He immediately turned around and ran back.

Zhao Xingkong said, unconvinced: “Elder, that's fifty million Immortal Crystals.

If it were given to someone else, it would be acceptable, but the key is that it was given to that Young man. Are we, the Zhao Family, just going to swallow this anger?”

“What if it’s fifty million? Does he have the life to spend it?”

A cold glint flickered in Zhao Qinglian’s eyes, “Our Zhao Family’s Immortal Crystals are only temporarily in his hands. It won't be long before we take them back.”

Hearing him say this, the resentment in the hearts of the Zhao Family’s Core Disciples dissipated considerably.

That's right, these Immortal Crystals were only temporarily in Ye Bufan’s hands. With the strength of the Zhao Family, they would eventually be taken back.

Zhao Qinglian spoke again: “Xingkong, this matter will be your responsibility.

Send people to keep an eye on that Young man. Don't touch him inside Yuangu City. When he leaves, immediately eradicate him!”

“Yes!”

Zhao Xingkong responded and turned to walk out, filled with Killing Intent.

Zhao Xing hurried back to the gambling house. Since he had the Grand Elder’s order, he no longer had any reservations. He quickly took out a Storage Ring and presented it to Ye Bufan.

“Young Master, this is your winnings. We have gathered it.”

Ye Bufan reached out and took the Storage Ring. His Divine Sense swept inside, revealing a total of fifty-five million Immortal Crystals.

Five million of that was his bet, and fifty million was the profit from the bet.

“Good, not a single bit short.”

Saying that, he put away the ring.

Shen Qiyun said: “Senior Brother, aren’t we going to bet a little more?”

She had absolute confidence in her man. Although the next match in the draw was against an Immortal King Peak, she knew that Ye Bufan would undoubtedly win without any suspense. This was the perfect time to place a bet.

The others also thought the same, feeling that this was a good opportunity to pick up money for free.

Ye Bufan, however, unexpectedly shook his head: “Let's not. It's best to know when to stop.”

After saying that, he left the place. Although everyone was a bit surprised, they all followed him out.

After leaving the door and walking a short distance, Ye Bufan told everyone to return to the inn first, while he wandered around the city and finally arrived at the Star Plucking Tower.

As the largest commercial organization in the Immortal Realm, Star Plucking Tower had branches spread throughout the entire Middle Heaven Region, with its headquarters located in Yuangu City.

Compared to the Dile Heaven branch, this place was even more magnificent, with three large halls connected together, looking incredibly luxurious.

Ye Bufan naturally had his own intentions and arrangements. The most urgent task was to help himself and those around him improve their strength.

His luck with the draw this time was good; he was facing an Immortal King Peak, and defeating him was not a problem. But what if he encountered an Immortal Lord?

Unless absolutely necessary, he couldn't use the Sun-Extinguishing Bow and Immortal Slaying Sword in plain sight. Even if he did use them, he probably wouldn't even be able to preserve the opponent's Primordial Spirit, making it hard to explain later.

Erlang was his trump card, and it was best not to use him lightly. Who knew if those old monsters would notice something amiss?

In contrast, Situ Dianmo’s luck was a bit worse; she drew an Early Stage Immortal Lord as an opponent. In this situation, winning was almost impossible.

The most pressing matter was to find heavenly treasures. Only with resources could one improve their strength.

Moreover, the Cultivation Technique Dianmo cultivated was special, and the effects of ordinary Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicine were limited. The best method was to refine Medicinal Pills suitable for her.

The Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect just so happened to have a Medicinal Pill suitable for blood cultivators, but the most important main ingredient, the nine nether blood lotus, was something he didn't have.

Therefore, his main purpose in coming to Star Plucking Tower was to find the nine nether blood lotus. If he had this Spirit Medicine, he could immediately start refining Medicinal Pills to help Situ Dianmo advance further.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Star Plucking Tower, Ye Bufan, for convenience, directly took out the Supreme token Miao Badou had given him.

The service staff at the entrance immediately changed their expression upon seeing the token, sent a message via their communication jade, and then respectfully ushered him into the main hall.

A short while later, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes hurried out from the back. It was Miao Jiuxi, the Grand Manager of this Star Plucking Tower.

“Young Master Ye, I am Miao Jiuxi, the Grand Manager here. Welcome to Star Plucking Tower!”

His smile was extremely bright and sincere, making people feel very comfortable.

Ye Bufan was a little surprised: “Grand Manager, do you know me?”

This was his first time at Star Plucking Tower in Yuangu City, and he was sure he had never seen this person before.

Miao Jiuxi chuckled: “Our Star Plucking Tower rarely issues such Supreme tokens. In the entire Middle Heaven Region, there are no more than two digits.

Furthermore, Miao Badou is my cousin, and he previously spoke to me about Young Master Ye’s demeanor!”

Ye Bufan then realized. So this person was Miao Badou’s cousin. No wonder he was so enthusiastic towards him.

“Young Master Ye, may I ask what you seek at my Star Plucking Tower? If you don't mind, this old man can be your guide.”

“Grand Manager, you are too kind. I came to look for some Medicinal Ingredients for Alchemy.”

Ye Bufan did not directly state nine nether blood lotus, also wanting to see if there were any other useful Medicinal Ingredients along the way.

“Very well, Young Master, please follow me.”

Miao Jiuxi was originally a true merchant, and his way of dealing with people was extremely smooth.

Coupled with Miao Badou’s introduction, he knew that this Young man in front of him absolutely could not be provoked and could only be befriended.

So he personally led the way, introducing Ye Bufan to the various Spirit Medicine here.

The surrounding crowd watched in stunned silence. As the Grand Manager of Star Plucking Tower, his status was extremely high.

Ordinarily, even some Sect Elders rarely received his personal reception when they came here, yet today he was so courteous to this Young man.

The two walked upwards, finally arriving at the tenth floor of the main hall.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. Although there were countless Spirit Medicine here, he didn't have many urgent needs, and he hadn't seen any trace of the nine nether blood lotus.

Miao Jiuxi was skilled at observing expressions and immediately understood his thoughts.

“It seems the Spirit Medicine here doesn't meet Young Master’s Dharma Eye. If you need anything, just tell this old man. Even if Star Plucking Tower doesn't have it, we can find a way to search for it.”

Ye Bufan nodded: “Grand Manager, I urgently need a nine nether blood lotus. Do you have one?”
