Chapter 3094: Mission Accomplished

Chen Lianyu is now rather conflicted, still wanting to wait and see if there are other things more suitable for her.

That Marrow‑Cleansing Pill she can't use yet, and she wants to keep it for a few years; perhaps later she can use connections to have the Xu Dan Sect buy another one.

Such high‑grade pills are only worthwhile when she breaks through the Great Realm.

Ye Liuyun has been watching the expressions of the three artificers and notices Liu Yuanyang is very interested in Fire Flame Power; he himself is Yang fire, yet he shows interest in Yin fire, presumably to cultivate two kinds of fire.

Chen Xing, on the other hand, is interested in the Poison Soul Flower and the Marrow‑Cleansing Pill, clearly weighing which to choose.

He has none of the things those two alchemists are interested in.

The Yin fire he collects is not as high‑quality as the Ninth Prince's, and his own Nether Ghost Fire would never be used as bait.

So he can only target Chen Lianyu.

Since he already has Chen Huoyang, getting Chen Lianyu would be even better; failing to get her isn't a total loss.

"Master Lianyu," Ye Liuyun says directly to Chen Lianyu: "I have a True Essence‑condensing technique called the Condensing Essence Formula that I can share, and also a set of gilded armor materials; could you raise the grade of the gilded armor?"

As he says, he produces a set of gilded armor and puts it on to show Chen Lianyu.

Previously many people who had never seen the wondrous effect of gilded armor also praised it enthusiastically.

"Condensing Essence Formula, gilded?"

Chen Lianyu is indeed attracted.

The Condensing Essence Formula is exactly what she needs.

If her realm does not advance further, improving her artificing level later will be difficult.

Moreover, many members of the Chen family need this technique; as a shareable method, she could later trade it to others and earn more.

As for the gilded armor, although she does not care about its defensive power, it can transform.

After all, being a woman, she has no resistance to such endlessly mutable clothing.

And gilded material is indeed very scarce, making it quite attractive to artificers.

But after hearing Ye Liuyun's request, she is still hesitant.

If she agrees outright to Ye Liuyun's request to raise the armor's grade, she may need to add some high‑end materials inside.

The Ninth Prince, assuming Chen Lianyu looks down on Ye Liuyun's stuff, disdainfully says: "Just a technique and a bit of material, and you think you can sway Master Lianyu? That's day‑dreaming."

Ye Liuyun also thinks he misread Chen Lianyu's needs and is contemplating whether to bring out that half‑shapeshifted Blood Spirit Demon again.

But Chen Lianyu worries the Ninth Prince will spoil her deal and immediately explains to Ye Liuyun, "Young master, don't misunderstand."

"I'm satisfied with what you presented."

"However, to raise the armor's grade, its material alone may not suffice."

"I'm just considering what additional material would be appropriate."

"But I'm not especially familiar with this gilded material."

"How about we make a pact: I'll study it first, then I can recommend the materials to add, but you must cover the cost."

"Do you agree?"

"If you aren't worried I'll forge it poorly and can accept my terms, we can reach an agreement."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately agrees: "No problem, I agree! I also trust Master Lianyu!"

Chen Lianyu nods satisfied, stands, and produces her Token, clearly to trade with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun steps forward and hands the gilded armor to Chen Lianyu.

"Master Lianyu, if you reconsider my resources, and there's anything you like, you may pick a few more."

The Ninth Prince, looking embarrassed, immediately ups the temptation toward Chen Lianyu.

Chen Huoyang didn't get it; if he also fails to win over Chen Lianyu, his face will be even more lost.

But Chen Lianyu doesn't want any relation with him at all, can't even dodge, so she immediately says, "Thank you for the Ninth Prince's kindness."

"However, the conditions you propose are exactly what I need; I've been searching for gilded material for a long time!"

She says this deliberately, knowing that gilded material is indeed rare in the Huo Yin Star System; even the royal house may have some, but the Ninth Prince might not be able to provide it.

Sure enough, the Ninth Prince can only stare helplessly as Chen Lianyu hands the Token to Ye Liuyun.

"Young master, how should I address you?"

Chen Lianyu asks Ye Liuyun proactively.

"I am Ye Liuyun."

Ye Liuyun states his real name directly.

"Young Master Ye, I'll keep this gilded armor for now.

I'll go back to study it, get familiar with its traits, then choose matching materials.

Give me some time; in seven days bring the gilded armor you wish to upgrade, and then we can transfer the Condensing Essence Formula to me!"

Chen Lianyu also says to Ye Liuyun.

She was only afraid Ye Liuyun would worry she couldn't forge the armor properly, and that the materials weren't settled, so the deal might fall through, which is why she didn't first request Ye Liuyun's Condensing Essence Formula.

"Very well, then thank you, Master Lianyu!"

Ye Liuyun also thanks Chen Lianyu and puts away his Token.

Then Chen Lianyu doesn't linger; after bidding Ye Liuyun farewell, she heads straight back to study the gilded armor.

"Mission accomplished!"

Ye Liuyun sighs a huge relief in his heart.

"Look at the way the Ninth Prince and others look at you!"

The first avatar reminds Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm, if they want to die, let them come!"

Ye Liuyun doesn't look at them at all; he simply doesn't care.

He only communicated with the two clones, saying: "After the first clone goes out in a while, see if there's a chance to strike at that Yao Feng and try to send Qiong Qi to the Wan Hua Sect."

I'll go study He Ming and see if there's a chance to control him.

"Then the Second Clone will stay and make a deal with the Chen family."

"I think that He Ming and the Ninth Prince are also scheming against me!"

The Second Clone also reminded them.

"That's best. If you can make a deal with them, act when you can, no need to be polite.

Just let that inner‑door Elder of the Chen family be, after all this is their territory, no need to take risks."

After they discussed, the first clone was the first to leave.

He does it to prevent the Ninth Prince from bearing a grudge, wanting to go out first to shake off the Ninth Prince's subordinates' tracking.

But the Ninth Prince now can no longer keep up with him, and is instead devoting all effort to recruit the other two refinement masters.

He has already allocated resources; if not even one refinement master can be secured, he'll be too embarrassed today.

Moreover, he just promised Chen Lianyu that she could take more resources, so now it's not good to change his words regarding these two refinement masters.

So Chen Xing and Liu Yuanyang both agreed to his refinement requests; no one took an extra item from him. The Ninth Prince, mute as if eating bitter medicine, cannot show his inner bitterness, yet must flatter those two refinement masters, and can only count all the loss against Ye Liuyun.
