Chapter 699: Robbing Wang Jianqiang

Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

He lowered his head to look at the Jade Slip in his hand, and his Spirit Sense surged into it.

A moment later.

Once he had imprinted the entire layout of the Inner Sect into his mind.

He opened the exit, left Zhou Yun's residence, and walked toward the Sect Affairs Hall.

Inside the Sect Affairs Hall.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the burly man in front of him, feeling slightly disappointed in his heart.

The style of this Beast Taming Sect is a bit low.

For such an important occasion, they actually didn't send a great beauty to Suppress the post.

Instead, it's a man picking at his feet.

Bad review.

"Senior, I would like to buy some Medicinal Herb seeds."

Arriving before the burly man, Wang Jianqiang first bowed respectfully to him, then handed over the list Zhou Yun had given him.

The burly man took the list and looked at it for a moment.

He waved his palm.

Over a dozen Jade Bottles appeared.

"The Medicinal Herb seeds you want are all here; check them."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, opened the Jade Bottles one by one, and after checking them, nodded, "The count is accurate, thank you for the trouble, Senior."

He put away the Jade Bottles in front of him.

He took out the Space Ring given to him by Zhou Yun and paid the cost for purchasing the Spirit Medicine seeds.

He turned and walked out of the Sect Affairs Hall.

Just as Wang Jianqiang walked out of the gate of the Sect Affairs Hall, three figures walked in from outside, heading straight toward him.

Among the three.

One person's gaze swept over Wang Jianqiang inadvertently.

Upon noticing Wang Jianqiang's Qi Refining First Layer cultivation, he raised his eyebrows, a look of disdain appearing in his eyes.

The next moment.

The three of them brushed past Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang left the Sect Affairs Hall.

The three entered the Sect Affairs Hall and arrived before the burly man responsible for managing the Sect Affairs Hall.

Upon seeing the three, the burly man's gaze fell directly on the person in the middle.

He seemed very familiar with that person, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yang Yuntian, here to buy Spirit Medicine seeds again?"

"Yes."

Yang Yuntian nodded with a smile.

The burly man smacked his lips, "Your talent in the path of Alchemy is astonishing; wouldn't it be fine to just focus on Alchemy?"

"Why not leave such trivial matters to your servants? Why waste your own time?"

Hearing the burly man's persuasion, Yang Yuntian shook his head with a smile, "Deacon Shi, you are not an Alchemist, so you don't understand."

"To me, planting Spirit Medicine is also a form of cultivation in the path of Alchemy."

"So that's how it is; the cultivation of you Alchemists is truly complicated."

The burly man shook his head with a smile and did not continue the topic.

Changing the subject, he said, "What kind of Spirit Medicine seeds do you want to buy today?"

Yang Yuntian said, "I would like some Snow Spirit Grass seeds."

"Uh~"

Hearing Yang Yuntian's words, the burly man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "You really came at an unfortunate time; the Snow Spirit Grass seeds were just bought by someone else."

"How about you choose another kind?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuntian frowned.

The reason he planted Medicinal Herbs was to better familiarize himself with their medicinal properties and habits.

To assist himself in Alchemy.

Rather than planting blindly.

Snow Spirit Grass was the main ingredient in a Pill Formula he had been researching recently.

As long as he mastered the medicinal properties and habits of the Snow Spirit Grass, he would be able to refine that Pill, taking his attainments in the path of Alchemy to the next level.

"Then when is the earliest the next batch of Snow Spirit Grass seeds will arrive?"

Hearing Yang Yuntian's inquiry, the burly man pondered for a moment, "Snow Spirit Grass seeds are quite rare; for the next batch, it will take at least half a year."

Half a year?

Yang Yuntian frowned.

This time was a bit long.

He looked at the burly man and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Deacon Shi, who was the person who just bought the Snow Spirit Grass seeds? Could you tell me?"

"Don't worry, I just want to trade some with them; I won't cause any trouble for you."

Hearing this, the burly man smiled, "I naturally trust your character, Yang Yuntian."

As he spoke, he shook his head again, "It's just that the person was a stranger; I haven't seen them before and don't know them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuntian revealed a look of disappointment.

Just then, the burly man seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Right, he only has Qi Refining Stage level one cultivation; with such low cultivation, he must be a servant to some Inner Sect Disciple."

"Moreover, he happened to leave just as you arrived; you should have already crossed paths."

Hearing the burly man's words, the eyes of a person beside Yang Yuntian suddenly lit up.

"Senior Brother Yang, I remember now."

"When we just entered the Sect Affairs Hall, we did indeed run into a youth at the Qi Refining Stage level one."

"I was wondering before which Inner Sect Disciple would want a servant with such low cultivation, so I took a few extra looks."

Hearing the words of the person beside him, Yang Yuntian's eyes immediately lit up.

"That person just left, he shouldn't have gone far yet."

"Mateo, you should still remember his aura, right? Hurry and take me to chase him."

After Wang Jianqiang left the Sect Affairs Hall.

He headed straight back in the direction of Zhou Yun's residence.

Having just walked a short distance.

A voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Little brother, please stay a moment."

His footsteps paused, and he turned to look.

Immediately.

Three figures came into view.

The three of them, one in front and two behind, walked quickly to his front.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze landed on the person in the lead.

In his mind, the other party's Attribute Panel emerged.

He learned the other party's name.

Yang Yuntian.

"I wonder why this senior has called for this junior; what are your instructions?"

A look of respect appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, and he held a very humble posture.

Yang Yuntian looked Wang Jianqiang up and down.

He smiled, "Daoist Friend, did you purchase a large quantity of Snow Spirit Grass seeds in the Sect Affairs Hall earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Yang Yuntian's expression turned joyful, "I am in urgent need of some Snow Spirit Grass seeds; could you part with a portion? I can pay a high price to purchase them, and I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

"This..."

A flash of hesitation crossed Wang Jianqiang's face.

"Kid, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's hesitant expression.

Beside Yang Yuntian.

The youth who first noticed Wang Jianqiang, named Mateo, suddenly sneered, "You are nothing but a lowly servant; what kind of status does Senior Brother Yang hold? Do you dare to be negligent toward his request?"

"Not to mention you, even if your master came here, after seeing Senior Brother Yang, they would still have to respectfully hand over the Snow Spirit Grass seeds."

"What kind of thing are you?"

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

He had indeed never heard the name Yang Yuntian, but judging by Mateo's tone.

This Yang Yuntian's status in the Inner Sect did not seem low.

Thinking of this.

A look of unease immediately appeared on his face, and he seemed to become somewhat at a loss.

"Junior Brother Ma."

Yang Yuntian frowned as he glanced at Mateo and shook his head, "He is just a servant; he has no choice but to act for his master, so there is no need to make things difficult for him."

Upon hearing this, Mateo's expression froze.

He glared at Wang Jianqiang with a look full of threats and did not speak again.

Seeing this, Yang Yuntian shook his head helplessly, "Daoist Friend, my friend has a bad temper; please don't take it to heart."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Mateo timidly and shook his head repeatedly, "I haven't taken it to heart."

Yang Yuntian nodded upon seeing this.

After pondering for a moment, he continued, "I know you are acting on your master's behalf and do not have the authority to decide on those seeds."

"How about this..."

As he spoke, his voice paused, and he took out a Jade Pendant, "One month from now, I will be hosting a Pill Gathering in Maple City; this Jade Pendant is the admission token for the Pill Gathering."

"Since your master sent you to purchase Medicinal Herb seeds, they must also be an Alchemist and will certainly know of this Pill Gathering and my name, Yang Yuntian."

"I will use this item to exchange with you for ten Snow Spirit Grass seeds; you only need to pass this item and what I have said to your master."

"At that time, I can guarantee that your master will absolutely not hold you accountable for this."

Pill Gathering?

Wang Jianqiang looked at the Jade Pendant in Yang Yuntian's hand.

His expression stirred.

Previously, that Ximen Qi seemed to want to give Zhou Qingyu a spot for the Pill Gathering.

Could it be the same Pill Gathering?

Thoughts flickered through his mind, yet his expression revealed a look of difficulty.

His complexion shifted incessantly, as if he were hesitant and indecisive.

"Hmph, you blind thing."

"Do you know how many people in this Inner Sect are breaking their heads trying to obtain this Pill Gathering spot?"

"A Pill Gathering spot, merely in exchange for your ten Snow Spirit Grass seeds; you are making a huge profit."

"And yet you are still hesitating!"

Seeing the Jade Pendant in Yang Yuntian's hand, a flash of light appeared in Mateo's eyes, and he sneered aloud.

Wang Jianqiang looked at him with full fear, then hurriedly shifted his gaze away.

He then made up his mind.

He gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Fine, I will trade."

As he spoke, he carefully took out ten Snow Spirit Grass seeds.

After the transaction.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the three of them with full fear, "Senior, may I leave now?"

"Of course you may."

Yang Yuntian smiled gently.

Wang Jianqiang seemed to let out a sigh of relief and walked away quickly.

After Wang Jianqiang left, the three of them, Yang Yuntian, walked in another direction.

Having just walked not far.

Mateo suddenly spoke to Yang Yuntian, "Senior Brother Yang, I have something to attend to, I will leave for a moment."

Yang Yuntian nodded, not thinking much of it, and continued walking forward with the other person.

Mateo walked toward the direction of his own residence without changing his expression.

After getting out of the sight of Yang Yuntian and the other, he immediately turned back and headed straight to chase in the direction Wang Jianqiang had left.

Wang Jianqiang was on his way back to Zhou Yun's residence.

Suddenly.

As if he had sensed something, his heart stirred.

His expression, however, seemed as if everything were normal, and he walked forward quickly.

Swish~

A moment later.

A figure suddenly flashed out and blocked his path.

Wang Jianqiang's footsteps paused.

Looking at the person in front, a look of fear appeared on his face, "Senior, I have already given you the Snow Spirit Grass seeds, is there anything else?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Mateo's eyes, "There is indeed one more thing I need your help with."

Wang Jianqiang seemed to be stunned, and said timidly, "What help?"

Mateo looked at Wang Jianqiang with a smile, "How about you sell me that Jade Pendant you got from Yang Yuntian?"

"No, I can't."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head timidly, "I need to take this Jade Pendant back to report to my master."

"If I sell the Jade Pendant, I won't be able to answer to my master when I return."

Upon hearing this, Mateo's expression turned cold, "I think you had better consider it carefully."

"In the Beast Taming Sect, private fights between disciples are indeed forbidden, but if a few lowly servants die, the sect may not necessarily care."

"Between being blamed by your master and losing your life, how do you want to choose?"

Hearing Mateo's threatening words, Wang Jianqiang's body trembled, and the color instantly drained from his face.

He subconsciously took a few steps back, "Senior, I am Zhou Yun's servant; if you kill me, she will certainly not let it go."

Zhou Yun?

Hearing this, Mateo frowned.

In the Sect Grand Competition three years ago, Zhou Yun ranked ninth in the Inner Sect.

Her strength was a bit stronger than his.

If this boy were truly her servant, it would be somewhat troublesome.

Only.

Hadn't Zhou Yun always been without servants?

How did a servant suddenly pop up?

Immediately following.

He regained his senses, and his gaze turned cold once again.

Although Zhou Yun was strong, he was not someone who could be easily manipulated.

He did not believe Zhou Yun would fall out with him over a servant.

Even if Zhou Yun truly remained relentless.

Offending her for a Pill Gathering spot was worth it.

Yang Yuntian's attainments in the Pill Dao alone are already not inferior to some Core Disciples who specialize in the Pill Dao.

The Pill Gathering he holds with several Inner Sect Pill Dao Prodigies can almost be called the top-tier Pill Dao gathering among Beast Taming Sect Disciples.

Especially.

It is rumored that this Pill Gathering might be attended by Core Disciples who are proficient in the Pill Dao.

This has caused the value of this Pill Gathering to soar even further.

However, to ensure the order and standard of the Pill Gathering, the number of participation spots for each Pill Gathering is limited.

To participate in the Pill Gathering, there are only two ways: receiving an invitation from Yang Yuntian and the other organizers, or obtaining an Alchemy Conference Invitation Jade Pendant.

Among them.

The former accounts for the vast majority.

The number of Invitation Jade Pendants is very small.

Since the spots for the former cannot be transferred, this has caused the value of the Invitation Jade Pendants to be driven up to a rather exaggerated level.

As a Pill Dao Prodigy, Yang Yuntian has an astonishing net worth.

Perhaps he does not care.

But for him, this is an opportunity to make a fortune.

Compared to the value of the Invitation Jade Pendant, offending Zhou Yun is nothing.

"Zhou Yun? The ninth place in the Beast Taming Sect's Inner Sect competition zone; this reputation is indeed quite intimidating."

"But it still cannot threaten me, Mateo."

Mateo sneered, "Now, I will give you one last chance to choose."

"Hand the Jade Pendant to me voluntarily."

"Or should I take it myself and finish you off while I'm at it?"

Upon hearing this, a look of deep fear instantly appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

Seemingly because he was too afraid, his legs even began to tremble.

He swallowed hard and said with a trembling voice, "I'll hand it over, I'll hand the Jade Pendant over right now..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it.

A Jade Pendant floated out.

At the same time.

Clatter.

A Jade Bottle, seemingly disturbed by the movement of his hand, fell out from his sleeve.

It hit the ground and shattered into pieces.

Amidst the fragments, a round Pill appeared.

The rich fragrance of the Pill, having lost the restraint of the Jade Bottle, instantly permeated the air.

The moment this Pill fragrance entered his nose, Mateo felt his Will Power actually begin to stir.

Just the fragrance alone actually brought him a sense of cultivation fluctuation.

This Pill.

Is absolutely an excellent Pill for enhancing Will Power!

A look of intense greed instantly erupted in his eyes.

Seeing the Jade Bottle fall, Wang Jianqiang looked startled and hurriedly picked up the Pill.

However, just as he hid the Pill in his sleeve, a deep voice filled with greed reached his ears.

"Take it out!"
