Chapter 331

"Ye Fan, why aren't you speaking? It's your turn to go on stage."

Lin Meng was still waiting for Ye Fan to continue their live broadcast with her, but after a long wait she heard nothing more, so she spoke up to ask what was happening.

Ye Fan took a deep breath silently, then said:

"Immortal sister, the two Supreme Elders are right before me, and they actually want to give me an opportunity, but the condition is that I must produce something to satisfy this female Supreme Elder."

Immediately afterward, Ye Fan briefly recounted what had just happened, and Lin Meng couldn't help but her eyes lit up.

"You mean, as long as you can please this female Supreme Elder, her dao companion Elder Daolingzi will give you the sword he once wore? And it's even a top-grade magical treasure?"

Ye Fan grunted in acknowledgment, yet he felt the hope was slim.

"How could I possibly have something that would please a Nascent Soul expert? This Supreme Elder thinks too highly of me."

Ye Fan had already gone through all the treasures in his possession, and he was certain none of them would catch the other's eye.

The things the immortal sister gave, although they were all top-grade, the two Supreme Elders have lived nearly a thousand years and have seen treasures as numerous as cow hairs; regarding cultivation-related resources, they might not even glance at them.

Cola and spirit rice, though good, Ye Fan felt this female Supreme Elder wasn't a glutton, so it probably wouldn't work.

And boiled eggs had already been given to the sect; the Supreme Elders might have already seen them.

After thinking it over, Ye Fan felt he had no chance.

Elder Daolingzi seemed a bit impatient, about to speak, but was stopped by Xuanling.

Xuanling was clearly more amenable than Daolingzi; she smiled and walked up to Ye Fan, saying:

"Don't rush, think slowly; I just like some curious things—it doesn't have to be a supremely powerful heavenly material or earthly treasure. If you can produce something I've never seen, perhaps this Dao Ling sword will be yours."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan plucked up his courage and asked.

"I don't know if the Supreme Elder likes food or drink?"

Xuanling blinked, covered her mouth, and let out a light laugh.

"I have long since lost any desire for food, and as a cultivator seeking to break into the Void‑God stage, I ought to regulate what enters my body and absorb as little impurity as possible."

That is, no food or drink—Ye Fan found himself in a quandary.

Lin Mengye was also curious what this female elder would like, and if Ye Fan could obtain that magical treasure sword, it would indeed be a great treasure—missing it would be a pity.

So she asked Ye Fan.

"Describe this female Supreme Elder to me—her appearance, her temperament—see if we can find a point of entry."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan, risking offending her, carefully examined Xuanling.

His gaze was pure and clear, so neither Daolingzi nor Xuanling objected.

Ye Fan examined her closely, then replied to Lin Meng.

"Immortal sister, this Supreme Elder Xuanling seems to pay great attention to her appearance; she is dressed exquisitely, there is a noticeable pollen scent on her body, and she has something applied to her face, but I don't know much about women's cosmetics, so I can't tell what she used."

"By the way, this Supreme Elder said she doesn't like food or drink because, in order to break into the Void‑God realm, she must completely discard mortal food from her intake."

Ye Fan only knew that many cultivators are like that—their desire for food is extremely low; even when they need to drink, they often drink heavenly dew, so trying to win over this female elder through food is impossible.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengye understood, thought for a moment, and said:

"Let's take a gamble—wait a moment, I'll fetch some things we girls like and see if we can move her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mengye went straight to her wardrobe, where besides her clothes and jewelry there were many newly bought cosmetics and skincare products.

These were all bought after she became wealthy, when her shopping urge surged and she brought them back from the counters.

But since she usually dresses casually, many of these items are still in their shopping bags, unchanged from when she bought them.

Lin Mengye thought, picked up a bottle of perfume, removed its packaging bag, stored it in her second space, and told Ye Fan:

"Take this out and show it to her; I'll teach you how to use it."

Lin Mengye flashed into the space and gave Ye Fan a demonstration.

Although Ye Fan could only see Lin Mengye's blurry silhouette, he still learned how to use the perfume—it was simple, yet felt novel.

A spray, and the perfume turned into a mist that was scattered out,

"Sister, is this thing called perfume?"

Lin Mengye nodded and said:

"It's a natural floral extract mixed with some alcohol to help it volatilize; spray it on clothes for lasting fragrance, or dab it on wrists or neck—spray wherever you like, and a bottle lasts a long time."

Lin Mengye thought, even if they are immortal cultivators, they would certainly be interested in modern items.

Elder Xuanling loves beauty, so she will surely be interested in these things.

Of course, Lin Mengye could also produce some technological gadgets, which might open the cultivators' eyes even wider, but that would inevitably draw their investigation into Ye Fan.

Just a bottle of perfume, however, wouldn't cause Ye Fan too much trouble.

Ye Fan trusted the immortal sister completely, and grew more convinced that this bottle of perfume would surely captivate Elder Xuanling.

"Little brother, have you decided what to bring out for me to see?"

"We two have come out of seclusion in a hurry, so please don't waste everyone's time."

At this moment, Xuanling also spoke up to urge Ye Fan.

Just then Ye Fan snapped back to attention and took the perfume out of his space.

The crystal‑clear outer packaging was very beautiful; the liquid inside, seen through the bottle, was a light pink, matched with gold decoration and a nozzle, making it look quite distinctive.

Seeing Ye Fan holding an extra object, Xuanling fixed her gaze on it and was instantly mildly surprised.

"Is this the rare item you want to show me? Its appearance is quite exquisite—go on and describe it."

Seeing Elder Xuanling take an interest, Ye Fan's confidence instantly surged.

He followed Lin Mengye's method and gently pressed the nozzle.

The next second, a rich fragrance spread with the sprayed perfume, instantly making everyone's eyes light up.

"How fragrant! What is this scent?"

"It's floral! It seems mixed with some other special notes—altogether very unique, and smelling it makes one feel as if standing in a sea of flowers; the fragrance is emanating from this tiny glass bottle?"

The disciples were all surprised and curious, staring at Ye Fan.

Although Xuan Ling didn't speak, her eyes were already sparkling and fixed on the perfume bottle, not moving away.

Seeing that the time was about right, Ye Fan then handed the perfume to Elder Xuan Ling and said:

"Supreme Elder, this item is a specialty brought back by my family's elders when they traveled in the past; it's called perfume..."

Ye Fan, following Lin Meng's prepared explanation, introduced the situation of the perfume.

After hearing this, Xuan Ling couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"The design of this perfume indeed has a bit of cleverness, and the scent is also to this venerable one's liking; not bad, not bad."

"Husband, give him the sword; this perfume really wins my heart."
