Chapter 2341: Local Tyrant Assassin

Ye Liuyun looked at the maid and asked, "How much does this Pure Essence Brew sell for?"

The maid looked at Ye Liuyun in surprise, saw he was fine, then recalled and replied, "One point can be exchanged for three jugs!"

Ye Liuyun also widened his eyes upon hearing that.

One point could exchange for ten billion Divine Crystals, yet it could only be exchanged for three jugs of Pure Essence Brew!

Ye Liuyun marveled at the price of the Pure Essence Brew, and looked at Jiu Gui in disbelief.

Jiu Gui laughed embarrassedly, still thinking Ye Liuyun wanted him to compensate: "Hehe, don't look at me! I've already exchanged all my points for wine!"

Ye Liuyun also calmed down, feeling that the maid shouldn't be joking.

But he thought about the body-tempering effect of this medicinal wine, and felt that as long as it worked, no matter how expensive it was worth it.

He currently takes pills for body tempering, but they have no effect anymore; having finally found an effective resource, he shouldn't give up this opportunity.

Moreover, the people around him also need better resources to improve.

"Just show your token and you can buy it directly!"

The maid said eagerly.

"Don't listen to her nonsense!"

At this moment, Jiu Gui interjected, telling Ye Liuyun: "You come once a day, each time you can get a jug for free—why spend points to exchange?"

But Ye Liuyun felt he didn't have that much time to waste in the Secret Realm.

So he directly took out his token and handed it to the maid: "Please help me exchange a hundred points' worth of Pure Essence Brew!"

"One hundred points!"

Jiu Gui's mouth hung open wide, staring at Ye Liuyun in disbelief.

Others also stared blankly.

Ye Liuyun now regretted it deeply; if only he had known not to exchange Liu Jing's token.

This mistaken decision will reduce how much Pure Essence Brew he can exchange!

The maid had originally disliked Jiu Gui disturbing her wine selling, but after hearing Ye Liuyun's words, she trembled as she confirmed with him: "How many points did you say?"

"One hundred!"

Ye Liuyun said firmly.

"Oh! Please wait a moment!"

Only then did the maid react, taking Ye Liuyun's token and leaving.

Not long after, she returned Ye Liuyun's token and also handed him a Storage Ring.

Ye Liuyun first used his Divine Sense to confirm the token was indeed his, and the points inside had been deducted by one hundred.

Then he looked at the Storage Ring, which contained three hundred jugs of Pure Essence Brew.

"Thank you!"

Ye Liuyun politely said thanks, then put away both the token and the Storage Ring.

"Overbearing!"

Jiu Gui suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

Then this guy desperately started patting Ye Liuyun's horse.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled at this, clasped his hands in farewell, and amid everyone's attention, he rose and entered a private room to seek a task from Qi Sha.

He only now realized that points also have places to spend.

So he must hurry to earn more points to level up quickly.

He is currently a Level 9 Assassin.

After reaching Level 8, the points he earns from tasks will be even greater.

Qi Sha awkwardly said to Ye Liuyun: "The points from local tasks probably won't satisfy you."

"Want to try out-of-town tasks?"

"Sure!"

Ye Liuyun also agreed he could go out for a walk.

Thus, Qi Sha helped Ye Liuyun pick two tasks to Azure Cloud Great City.

Azure Cloud City is the great city governing Bright Moon City, where assassination tasks are naturally more numerous.

The tasks Ye Liuyun chose were: one to pursue and kill a Black Kill member, and another targeting the local Merchant Guild Clan.

Slaying the Merchant Guild Clan yields three hundred points and is also a large-scale task.

However, pursuing and killing that Black Kill member yields only thirty points.

Ye Liuyun is doing this because he tasted the sweet reward of killing a Black Kill member, so he wants to use this task as bait.

Although Black Kill does not purge its own Martial Cultivators, there are still Martial Cultivators who specialize in killing their own kind.

So once Black Kill labels someone, they will also send people to pursue and kill them.

After receiving these two tasks, Ye Liuyun immediately left the back hall.

Some people felt a bit moved, wanting to follow him, but thinking of Ye Liuyun's recent record—he had even killed a Black Kill member before—they felt Ye Liuyun was tough to deal with and dared not act.

Only Jiu Gui caught up with Ye Liuyun: "Brother Liuyun, where do you live?"

"Shall I be your guide, so you won't get lost and be taken advantage of by others? Around here, points can be spent everywhere."

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense was, of course, also paying attention to see if anyone was following him, but he laughed and said: "I want to leave the Secret Realm."

"Brother Jiu Gui, are you going the same way?"

"Ah?"

"You're leaving just like that?"

"You don't even want a jug of Pure Essence Brew each day?"

The drunkard asked in confusion.

"I still prefer going out to earn points!"

Ye Liuyun replied.

The drunkard thought for a moment, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave the Pure Essence Brew here, and in the end had to let Ye Liuyun go.

"I originally wanted to drink two jugs of wine with you, this rich guy, but unfortunately there's no chance!"

The drunkard said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun also didn't expect that this guy would actually speak the truth!

He smiled, then directly tossed out two jugs of wine and handed them to the drunkard.

"Here you go! As you said, let's make friends!"

Ye Liuyun felt that, just based on this drunkard's thick skin, it could be considered a special skill, and he could also try to make friends.

"This..." the drunkard looked somewhat excited, and immediately put the wine away.

Watching Ye Liuyun's retreating figure as he walked away, he shouted: "Brother, don't flaunt your wealth again after you go out!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, waved his hand, and left without looking back.

The drunkard stood there dazed for a moment, then immediately left the Exchange Grand Hall, returned to his residence, and slowly enjoyed those two jugs of Pure Essence Brew.

Even if he went back, he couldn't get any more wine, and there was no need to show off these two jugs to others.

After Ye Liuyun left, some assassins also discussed him, all saying he was a rich-guy assassin.

The next day, when the drunkard came again, he also felt that this nickname suited Ye Liuyun quite well, and went around boasting that Ye Liuyun was generous with friends.

Thus Ye Liuyun also gained another nickname here, the "Rich-Guy Assassin".

After leaving the Black Killing Secret Realm, Ye Liuyun walked not quickly, hoping someone would take notice of him, but to his disappointment, no one followed him all the way until he returned to the city.

He then returned to his own Side Courtyard and waited two days, but still no one came to monitor him.

"He actually managed to resist the temptation!"

Ye Liuyun's plan to capture two more Black Kill fell through.

Thus he had no choice but to leave his home again, rush to the Teleportation Array, and teleport to Azure Cloud City.

After arriving at Azure Cloud City, he directly had those who held identity badges rush to Myriad Might City.

He then rushed to the local Azure Cloud Merchant Association to gather information.

Azure Cloud City is a major city governing over ten-plus small cities like Bright Moon City, so the Azure Cloud Merchant Association is several times larger than the Bright Moon City Treasure Gathering Merchant Association.

Upon entering the merchant association, Ye Liuyun discovered that the administrators and stewards there numbered over twenty combined.

This doesn't even count the residence of the merchant association president, which certainly has many strong guardians guarding it.
