Chapter 4056 Mystery

Ye Bufan pointed at Xia Qingying: "According to the bet, the person he has to kneel to isn't me, but Fairy Xia."

"Yes, yes, yes, Pill King Ye is right."

Hu Zhixuan nodded repeatedly, kicking Yin Tong in the butt, sending him flying to land in front of Xia Qingying.

"You scoundrel, why aren't you apologizing to Fairy Xia!"

Hundred Herbs Sect didn't fear Bao Dan Sect, but he was terrified of Ye Bufan, afraid that the other party would be displeased.

Yin Tong knelt before Xia Qingying, feeling incredibly bitter. If he had known this, why would he have bothered in the first place, why would he have provoked that man?

Originally, after entering the Pill King Tower and successfully refining a twelfth-Rank Immortal Pill, he should have been appreciated by the Sect Master, but it ended up so miserably.

"I'm sorry, Fairy Xia, everything before was my fault. I was blind and offended you. Please, Fairy, be understanding."

Xia Qingying also felt a mix of emotions. If that man hadn't suddenly appeared, perhaps it would be herself in such a miserable state.

She turned to look at Ye Bufan: "Pill King Ye, you handle it. I don't care."

Originally, through days of interaction, Xia Qingying had developed a good impression of this man, and even a hint of fantasy.

But the moment he ascended the Pill King Tower, it made her realize the gap between them, and she chose to retreat inwardly.

Ye Bufan didn't pay attention to Xia Qingying's emotional changes, his gaze fixed on the two people in front of him.

"Since Fairy Xia doesn't mind, then you two should proceed according to the bet."

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Senior Dan Wang!"

Hu Zhixuan nodded repeatedly. Although he had to pay out five hundred million High Grade immortal crystals, this was a blessing in disguise.

For Ye Bufan to act according to the bet was already a great favor to him.

He had already prepared before coming, inviting the Dan Wang Competition's notary.

Subsequently, both parties honored their commitment according to the bet, respectfully presenting the Storage Ring filled with five hundred million High Grade immortal crystals with both hands.

"All right, you may leave."

Three days later, they would enter the Immortal Paradise. Ye Bufan still had many things to do and was too lazy to bother with such minor characters, so he waved his hand to dismiss them.

"Thank you, Senior Dan Wang!"

Hu Zhixuan and Yin Tong bowed repeatedly in gratitude. For them, this was already the best outcome.

As they left, Xia Qingying approached Ye Bufan and bowed, "Pill King Ye, thank you for your help."

"What Pill King or not, we're still friends."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, pulling her back to his room.

Xia Qingying was a little surprised. What was Young Master Ye going to do, bringing her to his room alone?

He had helped her and Bao Dan Sect so much. Was he going to ask her to offer herself in return? If so, should she refuse?

Just as her mind was racing, a crystal-clear fruit suddenly appeared before her.

"This is a condensing spirit fruit. Eating it can raise your Mental Energy by one Rank.

Your Foundation is pretty much stable now. Work hard these few days and see if you can Breakthroug into the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Although the Immortal Paradise has abundant resources, places with resources are never without danger, so the stronger you are, the better."

Xia Qingying had previously suffered Qi Deviation, leading to an unstable Foundation, but it had now mostly recovered.

However, with her Aptitude, it would still be difficult to Breakthroug to Immortal Emperor in the short term.

Ye Bufan currently had four condensing spirit fruits, so he simply gave one to her.

Once Mental Energy reaches the Immortal Emperor Rank and then cultivates, everything becomes much simpler.

"Young Master Ye, this is too valuable, I can't accept it…"

Xia Qingying knew this was a reward from the Dan Wang Competition, and she also understood the preciousness of the condensing spirit fruit.

But before she could finish declining, the condensing spirit fruit transformed into a stream of jade liquid and shot directly into her mouth.

"All right, hurry back and absorb it, don't waste this Spiritual Plant."

Ye Bufan finished speaking, turned, and walked out of the room, heading to Zhuge Qingyang's room.

"Pill King Ye, welcome!"

Upon seeing him, Zhuge Qingyang greeted him with a smile.

"Senior is joking. Today I have something to ask."

Ye Bufan didn't beat around the bush with Zhuge Qingyang and asked directly, "Senior must be very familiar with Zu Taibai of Tiansheng Sect. Can you tell me how I can get the true information about the bodhi heart?"

His ultimate goal in participating in the Dan Wang Competition was the bodhi heart, but when he first met Zu Taibai, he hesitated repeatedly and still didn't speak.

Although his status and position were vastly different after winning the Dan Wang title, it was their first meeting, and they weren't familiar with each other.

If he were to immediately ask if the other person had a sacred object like the bodhi heart, it would probably be unacceptable to anyone, and it would be impossible to get true information.

It was precisely for this reason that after much hesitation, he decided to ask Zhuge Qingyang.

"This might not be easy…" Zhuge Qingyang stroked his beard. "Zu Taibai seems amiable, but he's actually very difficult to talk to.

Even if I were to intervene, I probably wouldn't be able to get accurate information from him.

Unless you have a treasure in your possession that he desperately wants, then you could use it as an exchange."

At this point, he shook his head again: "It's just that the bodhi heart is a sacred object beyond twelfth-Rank immortal spirit grass. How difficult it is to find a treasure equivalent to it."

Ye Bufan frowned. This was indeed a difficult problem.

As the Sect Leader of one of the Five Great Sects, moving Zu Taibai was not something ordinary treasures could achieve.

Seeing his expression, Zhuge Qingyang continued: "This matter cannot be rushed; it can be taken slowly.

According to tradition, there's an unwritten rule for Dan Wang winners: after coming out of the Immortal Paradise, they must refine a furnace of twelfth-Rank Medicinal Pills for the Five Great Sects.

Young Master, if you bring up this matter with Zu Taibai at that time, he probably won't be able to refuse, and at least he can reveal some information."

"That's a good idea. Thank you for the guidance, Senior."

Ye Bufan nodded. At this point, there was nothing else to do.

Afterward, the two discussed matters concerning the Immortal Paradise. As a former participant in the Dan Wang Competition, Zhuge Qingyang had entered the Immortal Paradise and was very familiar with it.

After understanding some basic information, Ye Bufan asked again: "Senior, what kind of treasures are actually in this Immortal Paradise? Are there any particularly precious ones?"

He still had a mystery in his heart that he hadn't found an answer to: why did Xuanji Emperor go to such great lengths to enter the Immortal Paradise?

One must know that the other party was once one of the Five Great Saint Emperors. Even if his Divine Power hadn't fully recovered, his vision was extremely high; ordinary treasures wouldn't even catch his eye.

Now, he was risking his identity being exposed by others to participate in the Dan Wang Competition, with the goal of entering the Immortal Paradise.

What kind of treasure was inside that made him so persistent?

If it really was a super sacred object comparable to the bodhi heart or kirin horn, he needed to be aware of it and absolutely not miss the Opportunity if he encountered it.

Zhuge Qingyang, however, didn't know what he was thinking and said: "This tranquility has been passed down from ancient times. It contains all kinds of Natural Treasures, and finding treasures depends entirely on one's own Opportunity."

This was clearly not the answer Ye Bufan wanted. He thought for a moment and rephrased his question.

"Senior, I'm not talking about that. I mean, are there any particularly powerful treasures inside, the kind that would greatly tempt the Sect Masters of the Five Great Sects?"
