Chapter 4265: The flaw of the Sky-peek Mirror

“Don’t worry, how could I possibly pocket it? I’m a man of my word.”

As Ye Bufan spoke, he flipped his wrist, and three Profound Comprehension Grasses appeared in his palm. “See? They’re all here. We’ll split them evenly.”

Seeing the three Profound Comprehension Grasses, Fifth Little Demon’s anger subsided slightly: “Then why couldn’t I find you?”

Ye Bufan said, “You don’t know, I also had a near-death experience. At that time, I encountered a Yuandi Stage Old Man who insisted on snatching my Profound Comprehension Grass.

I risked my life to escape hundreds of thousands of miles, and that’s how I managed to keep the treasure. Otherwise, how could I have given you any?”

Fifth Little Demon pouted: “Alright then, I’ll forgive you this time. But how do we split these three grasses?”

“It’s simple. We can’t split the Profound Comprehension Grass directly, so let’s process them into Medicinal Pills first and then calculate.”

Ye Bufan said, “Here’s the deal: the best use for Profound Comprehension Grass is to refine Emperor Profound Pills. You gather the Materials for three portions of Alchemy.

When the time comes, I’ll find a Great Master to refine the Medicinal Pills, and I won’t take any commission from you. We’ll split them evenly. What do you think?”

“Alright.”

Fifth Little Demon said, pulling out a Storage Ring: “The three portions of Materials are all inside. I’ve already prepared them.”

“Since that’s the case, once I contact the Great Master, I’ll give you the Medicinal Pills then. Don’t worry, I’ll be in Seven Stars City these next few days; I definitely won’t run off.”

“Alright then, contact me when the time comes.”

Fifth Little Demon broke into a brilliant smile, waved her hand, and turned to leave.

Ku Xuzi glanced at Ye Bufan: “You brat really have some skill. That little girl originally came to demand an explanation, but she got nothing and even gathered the Materials for you.

If I had your skill back then, I definitely wouldn’t have had only one mistress.”

Ye Bufan chuckled: “Master, you misunderstand. I am the most honest person, and my interactions with others are all about sincerity.

I never intended to monopolize the Profound Comprehension Grass; I would have given her the Medicinal Pills anyway.”

“No need to explain to me, that’s your skill. Let’s go, into the city.”

The two entered Seven Stars City and found a large inn to stay at.

Anyway, Ye Bufan currently had a lot of chaotic sacred crystals, so he was generous and directly rented a small courtyard.

The inn was very large, with more than a dozen such private courtyards.

As Ye Bufan and the Old Man were about to return to their rooms to rest, a black-clad Old Man with a gloomy expression and a powerful Aura entered the adjacent courtyard.

He couldn’t discern the opponent’s exact strength, but he could feel that he was definitely stronger than the previous three black-clad Old Men, perhaps already reaching the Yuansheng Stage Rank.

Upon entering the door, the inn was of a high Rank, and the room was equipped with a Restriction.

After entering the door, Ku Xuzi revealed a profound smile: “A Saint-Grade expert from White Tiger Gate. It seems Tianwu Sect won’t have it easy; they’ll have to pay some price.”

Ye Bufan said, “Does Master know that Old Man?”

“No, but I can feel that his Aura is exactly the same as the old fellow I killed before. He must be from White Tiger Gate, and he’s a Yuansheng Stage expert.”

Ye Bufan then said, “He’s really from White Tiger Gate? Is he also here for Ye Junxie?”

Ku Xuzi said, “White Tiger Gate was known for its ferocity and vengefulness back then. How could their people be so easily killed?

Moreover, since it’s already confirmed that Immortal Saint Ancestor has Rebirth, they certainly won’t let Ye Junxie go.

It’s just that so many years have passed, and I wonder how much strength White Tiger Gate still possesses, and how many Yuansheng Stage experts they can produce.”

Ye Bufan’s heart stirred: “Master, what is your Realm exactly? Are you also a Yuansheng Stage expert?”

Ku Xuzi glared at him, “Why ask so many questions? It’s enough as long as it’s sufficient. With me around, I won’t let you suffer!”

Ye Bufan chuckled: “I’m just curious, has no one used a Sky Gazing Mirror on you?”

Ku Xuzi snorted coldly: “So what if they have? My true nature is not something they can easily discern.”

Ye Bufan’s eyes immediately lit up: “Didn’t you say before that the Sky Gazing Mirror can even discern the strength of Yuansheng Stage experts? Could it be that you are a Yuanzu Level existence?”

“What I said was about the true Sky Gazing Mirror. The ones used at the Saint Spirit Convention are all cheap imitations, not true chaotic spiritual treasures.

The lower the Cultivation Realm, the higher its accuracy. Once it reaches the Yuandi Stage, it’s not as accurate.”

Ye Bufan said, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t the test results have errors and not be particularly accurate?”

Ku Xuzi snorted coldly: “What errors? As long as it can accurately test the Yuandi Stage and Yuan Immortal Rank, that’s enough. There are no errors when signing up, and after that, who would be foolish enough to suppress their own strength? Isn’t that just being crazy?”

“Uh…”

Ye Bufan immediately felt a line of black on his forehead; he was precisely that crazy person.

Normally, Ku Xuzi was right. The purpose of participating in the Saint Spirit Convention was to show off one’s talent; no one would be foolish enough to hide their strength.

But he couldn’t. Once he performed too brilliantly and was discovered to be the Reincarnation of Immortal Saint Ancestor, that would be trouble.

Although the Old Man was powerful, he was only one person. If the situation from last time happened again, he would be miserable, so it was better to keep a low profile.

It seemed that the Sky Gazing Mirror used for testing was not without flaws; the higher the Cultivation Realm, the easier it was to find loopholes.

If he could Breakthrough to the Yuan Emperor Realm, coupled with the Heaven-Defying Chaos Cultivation Technique, he might be able to fool them.

No matter what, he had to Breakthrough his strength to the Yuan Emperor and try again during the test in a few days.

As he was pondering, Ku Xuzi said, “You stay here and Cultivate honestly. I’m going out for a stroll and to see the excitement.”

Ye Bufan chuckled: “Are you going to see the excitement, or to see the Old Madam?”

“Less nonsense. Stay here obediently. Don’t run around when I’m not by your side.”

After speaking, the Old Man left the room and quickly disappeared.

Since Ye Bufan had a plan and ample resources, he immediately began to improve his strength.

He added several more Restrictions to the room, then took out the Emperor Scarlet Pills he had refined earlier.

He had refined two batches, eighteen pills in total. He had given six to Fifth Little Demon, leaving him with twelve, which he swallowed all at once.

The Medicinal Pills melted upon entering his mouth, and soon the Chaotic Origin Energy in his body boiled like water, his strength continuously climbing.

About half an hour later, a soft click sounded in his mind, and his strength instantly Broke through the Bottleneck, reaching the Yuan Emperor Realm.

However, that was as far as it went; the Medicinal Pill’s potency was completely exhausted.

Ye Bufan rubbed his nose. Fifth Little Demon had only consumed six Medicinal Pills to go from Rank six to Rank nine.

Yet, his twelve pills combined only increased his Rank by one, from Yuandi Stage to Yuan Emperor.

This strength was clearly not enough, so he opened the furnace again for Alchemy.

He had three Profound Comprehension Grasses, one of which still had a great use. He took out two and, along with the Materials Fifth Little Demon had given him, refined two batches of Emperor Profound Pills. In terms of Rank, Emperor Profound Pills were slightly higher than Emperor Scarlet Pills. He left six for the Little Demon, and the remaining twelve Medicinal Pills he swallowed all at once.
