Chapter 4089: Invitation from Zu Taibai

“This…”

Sword Emperor Qin Fei looked at the Chaotic Origin Energy in her palm, her heart overflowing with excitement, having never imagined such sudden happiness.

Especially for the Sword Emperor, reaching his Rank of strength made further improvement as difficult as ascending to the heavens; very few people had been able to reach Sixth Grade Saint Emperor over so many years.

To achieve a Breakthrough, comprehending Chaotic Origin Energy was the fastest way to master the sixth element.

However, while everyone understood this principle and knew this method, no one had ever seen true Chaotic Origin Energy for so many years.

But today, their dream came true; each person held a small amount of Chaotic Origin Energy in their hands, and though it wasn't much, it was enough for comprehending the element.

“Young Master Ye, I thank you here.”

After his excitement, the Sword Emperor immediately bowed in礼, Ye Bufan was the first person to receive such a grand gesture from him in all these years.

“Little brother, this Elder sister truly thanks you so much!”

Qin Fei was also overwhelmed with excitement.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, “Didn't Elder sister say we are siblings, all one family? There’s no need to be so polite.”

The Sword Emperor’s expression was solemn, “No matter what, I have noted this favor. From now on, Young Master Ye, if you have any commands, our Qin Jian Mountain Manor will not dare to disobey.”

Qin Fei no longer stood on ceremony and instead asked, “According to the rules, after leaving the Immortal Paradise, the newly appointed Pill King must refine a furnace of Medicinal Pills for each of the Five Great Sects. When do you plan to start?”

“This…”

Ye Bufan only then remembered this matter. He thought for a moment and said, “Tomorrow it is. I have other matters and need to leave this place. I will depart Tiansheng City after refining the Medicinal Pills.”

“Alright, but when the time comes, do not leave alone. We will travel together.”

“Okay, thank you, Elder sister.”

Ye Bufan naturally understood that Qin Fei was bringing the Sword Emperor along to act as his bodyguard, as the remaining major Sects might secretly try to harm him.

After bidding farewell, he returned to his residence with Leng Qingqiu, feeling quite good.

Leng Qingqiu had now broken through the fourth Seal, and in terms of strength, she had reached Immortal Emperor Peak. It was believed that her entry into the Saint Emperor Rank was just around the corner.

After much effort, the overall strength of his team had improved. However, Ye Tian and Situ Dianmo were special cases, as they were Cultivators of dark Qi, making their advancement not easy.

Now there was also Jin Mei'er; it seemed he would have to make a trip to War God Heaven at an opportune time.

As he pondered this in his mind, he returned to his residence. As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged man came to greet him.

“I am Yin Tao, Grand Manager of the Tiansheng Sect. Greetings, Pill King Ye!”

Seeing that it was someone from the Tiansheng Sect, Ye Bufan politely said, “So it’s the Grand Manager. May I ask what brings you here?”

“It is like this, Pill King…”

Yin Tao’s attitude was very polite as he explained what had happened.

It turned out that he had come to visit with Zu Taibai not long ago, but Ye Bufan was not present.

The Sect Leader had many affairs and had returned first, leaving him alone here.

“Pill King, the Sect Leader has invited you to be a guest at the Tiansheng Sect, saying there are matters to discuss with you.”

After he finished speaking, Ye Bufan immediately understood the other party's intention; not everyone could uphold a Sword Heart like the Sword Emperor.

Zu Taibai must have guessed that he still had Chaotic Immortal Essence, which was why he invited him over.

However, this was also good. Since he was invited, it meant there were conditions to discuss.

He naturally wouldn't refuse such a matter; otherwise, he would still have to find an opportunity to go to the Tiansheng Sect to inquire about the bodhi heart.

Now that the other party had taken the initiative, it saved him a lot of trouble.

As for safety, he temporarily didn't consider it. If the other party wanted to make a move, they wouldn't invite him over; it would be more convenient to do it privately, especially with his current identity as Pill King.

Even if the worst came to pass and he encountered danger, he could still summon the Extinction Thunder Tribulation, which would give him the power to fight.

“How dare I refuse the Sect Leader's invitation? Please lead the way, Grand Manager.”

“Pill King, you are too kind.”

As the Grand Manager of the Tiansheng Sect, Yin Tao was a smooth operator, and he respectfully led the way.

The Five Great Sects all had their strongholds within Tiansheng City, and the Tiansheng Sect was no exception. Their main Sect headquarters were outside Tiansheng City, but they had the largest branch here.

After the two left, they walked for about fifteen minutes before a massive manor appeared before their eyes—it was the Tiansheng Sect's branch.

Led by Yin Tao, they arrived in front of a grand hall. Before they even entered, Zu Taibai came out to greet them from afar.

“Pill King Ye has arrived! My humble abode is honored by your presence!”

It was unclear what Zu Taibai was thinking, but he put on a very good show, leading Ye Bufan all the way into the main hall and seating him in the place of honor.

Ye Bufan was not in the mood to engage in pleasantries with him and directly asked, “Sect Leader, you called me here. May I ask what the matter is?”

“Hahaha, I have some matters to consult with Pill King.”

Zu Taibai laughed heartily, “I heard from the Disciples who returned from the gate that this time, being able to enter the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground was entirely due to Pill King’s efforts.”

“This old fox, it seems he still wants to trick information out of me.”

The other party was cunning, but Ye Bufan was not a novice who had just entered the Jianghu.

“Sect Leader, you flatter me. I merely stumbled upon it by chance. The main person who unsealed the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground was Mu Ji.”

Since Xuanji Emperor had run away faster than a rabbit and was nowhere to be found, he didn't mind pinning the blame on him.

“Pill King, you are too modest.”

Zu Taibai clearly had no intention of stopping there and continued, “I heard that Pill King possesses Divine Might that shakes the world. When you entered the Immortal Holy Land Hall, even the Puppets inside recognized you as their master.”

At that time, Ye Bufan entered the hall with Mu Ji, while everyone else was kept outside. Such a matter couldn't be hidden.

So he didn't deny it and directly said, “That is indeed true, but I don't know the reason. Perhaps I resemble their master somewhat. After all, the world is vast and full of wonders, so perhaps our appearances are extremely similar.”

Zu Taibai wore a brilliant smile on his face, but his brow was furrowed in his heart.

He had not captured Yuwen Juan, and after returning to the Sect, he listened carefully to the reports from Wu Xuzi and others, which made him somewhat suspicious of Ye Bufan's identity.

He had originally intended to extract some useful information from the other party, but it now seemed impossible.

Understanding this, he no longer beat around the bush: “Pill King, you mentioned last time that you were interested in the bodhi heart. I wonder if you had any gains in this Immortal Paradise?

If there is a corresponding treasure that can give me an explanation in front of the Elders of the Sect, I will present the bodhi heart with both hands.”

This fellow was truly cunning. He didn't directly point out that Ye Bufan still had Chaotic Immortal Essence but instead used the bodhi heart as a bargaining chip.

Ye Bufan was determined to obtain the bodhi heart and did not hide anything, speaking straightforwardly.

“To be honest, I was quite fortunate this time. By a strange twist of fate, I obtained some Chaotic Origin Energy. I wonder if it meets the Sect Leader’s approval?”

Zu Taibai put on a surprised expression: “The bodhi heart is a good thing, but forgive my bluntness, wasn't Pill King Ye’s Chaotic Origin Energy taken by that woman?”

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, “Sect Leader, you underestimate me. Chaotic Origin Energy is such a precious treasure; I barely obtained some after a narrow escape from death. How could I give it all to that woman? I merely gave her half.”

“That’s for the best.”

Zu Taibai said, “Chaotic Origin Energy is indeed a rare treasure between heaven and earth, enough to rival the bodhi heart.

As long as Pill King can offer it in exchange, I can silence the Elders in the Sect.”

At this point, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes, “May I see the Chaotic Origin Energy?”
