Chapter 7: Purple Card VIP

"Nine‑Layer Wave? You're from the Ye Clan?" When Ye Liuyun struck, Alchemist Lu recognized Ye Liuyun's fist style.

"Senior brother!" the woman beside them hurried over to help the youth to his feet.

Fortunately the youth was Body Refinement Seventh Level, so his foundation was good; Ye Liuyun also acted hastily, so he didn't sustain serious injury. Yet at this moment he was trembling from pain.

"Stop! Who dares to strike inside Wanbaoge?"

As the two were about to strike again, a woman's voice sounded.

He followed the voice and saw a graceful young woman, with an Elder dressed in Wanbaoge Elder attire behind her, walking slowly toward them.

The woman was eighteen or nineteen, yet her looks were stunning and her aura ethereal, causing him to momentarily lose his composure.

"Young Master!" Alchemist Lu and Yu Er together saluted the woman.

Ye Liuyun was also startled. He hadn't expected the woman to be the Young Master of Wanbaoge.

"What's going on?"

The young woman called Young Master, though smiling, exuded a powerful aura of the True Essence Realm, imposing an irresistible pressure.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun sensed a Divine Sense pressure on both her and the Elder, making his Soul tremble.

Then, the Ten Thousand Gods Command in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly radiated Golden Light, shielding him from that pressure.

Ye Liuyun also realized these two were far from ordinary; at least this Divine Sense fluctuation differed from anyone he had met before.

Facing everyone, Alchemist Lu, aware he was at a loss, dared not reply.

Yu Er had to recount the recent events in detail, daring not to conceal anything.

Ye Liuyun remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. The others, under the dual oppression of that aura and Divine Sense, felt as if sitting on a bed of needles.

The woman and the Elder behind her couldn't help but marvel silently, and they began to view him with new eyes.

It seemed the sudden burst of Divine Sense power earlier had come from him. Could there be people who cultivate their Soul in a place like this?

The young woman looked at Ye Liuyun, curiously asking, "Young master, are you a Ye Clan person? The pills supplied by the Ye Clan have always been the responsibility of the Dan Hall to contact us…"

"Ye Clan, Ye Liuyun, I've met the Young Master of Wanbaoge. This pill was refined by me personally, not produced by the Dan Hall," Ye Liuyun said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"So it's that famous useless one from the Ye Clan! What good pills can you refine? And you dare come here to show off!"

The youth who had just been struck clearly knew Ye Liuyun's name and couldn't help interjecting again, his words dripping with even more contempt.

"Senior brother!" the girl beside him tugged his sleeve, evidently thinking he was being too outspoken, and she gave Ye Liuyun an apologetic expression.

"Mo Tianyi, watch your mouth! Moreover, you took the initiative to act inside Wanbaoge, breaking Wanbaoge's rules. Today you must give me an explanation!"

The Young Master said coldly. Mo Tianyi's chatter was even displeasing to her.

Moreover, if she didn't handle it impartially, the incident would tarnish Wanbaoge's reputation.

So it's Mo Tianyi of the Mo family; no wonder he's so arrogant! Ye Liuyun had heard of this Mo Tianyi, said to be a top talent in the Mo Family Outer Mansion, one of the three Great Clans.

Mo Tianyi was stunned at that moment! Accustomed to being arrogant in the city, he suddenly forgot Wanbaoge's regulations.

He looked helplessly toward Alchemist Lu.

Alchemist Lu lowered his head and ignored him, his impression of Mo Tianyi turning extremely poor.

The woman beside Mo Tianyi, seeing this, hurried to plead on his behalf. Wanbaoge was not something they could afford to provoke.

"Young Master, Young Master Ye, I am Mo Yuqing of the Mo family! Could you, for my sake, forgive my senior brother this once? He's just short‑tempered, but not a bad person."

"Mo Yuqing!" Ye Liuyun whispered the name in his mind, having some recollection that she might be the Mo family head's daughter.

Ye Liuyun shrugged and said, "I don't mind! It's just that your senior brother isn't merely short‑tempered; he's foul‑mouthed and despicable!"

Ye Liuyun's blunt remark almost made everyone present burst into laughter!

Mo Yuqing also strained to hold back laughter. Then she looked again at the woman with a pleading gaze.

The woman saw that Ye Liuyun didn't mind, and didn't want to waste more time on Mo Tianyi.

She was now more interested in Ye Liuyun.

So she said, "Mo Tianyi, from now on you are not allowed to set foot in Wanbaoge again. You all should leave quickly; we still have business to discuss!"

"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Mo Yuqing said, pulling Mo Tianyi straight out of Wanbaoge.

Mo Tianyi had never been so embarrassed. Not only did he need a junior sister to plead for him, but he was also mocked publicly by the enemy! He already harbored hatred toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was invited by the Young Master of Wanbaoge into the VIP room, where Alchemist Lu examined the pill Ye had presented.

"My name is Liang Xue. I see you're younger than me; if you don't mind, how about calling me Sister Liang?" The beautiful Young Master actually introduced herself.

"Alright then, I'll aspire to be with Sister Liang!" He felt that calling her directly "Liang Xue" was a bit awkward, so he chose to call her sister.

At this moment, Alchemist Lu, looking at the pill, had gone from initial disdain to caution, then to shock, his voice even trembling.

"This… this is… the lost Gu Yuan Pill!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun nod in confirmation, Liang Xue also stood up, took a pill and examined it. Then she asked, "Young Master Ye, was this pill truly refined by you yourself?"

"Yes, genuine!"

Ye Liuyun guessed in his mind that this pill seemed extraordinary and should fetch a good price!

Liang Xue also thought that Ye Liuyun, not only cultivating Divine Sense but also capable of refining such a lost pill, must have a powerful patron behind him, making him a potential ally.

Yet she immediately asked, "Young Master Ye, can the formula for this pill be traded?"

Ye Liuyun smiled, "Sorry, I will not sell the formula!"

If he could cooperate long‑term with Wanbaoge, he would never have to worry about medicinal materials again! How could Ye Liuyun possibly sell the formula, like killing the chicken to get the egg?

Liang Xue originally hadn't placed much hope on the formula, merely asking casually, so she showed no disappointed expression.

She produced a purple card and said to Ye Liuyun, "Young Master Ye, as long as you agree that henceforth this pill will be supplied only to us, you will become a Zi Card‑level VIP of Wanbaoge!"

With this Zi Card, you can enjoy a 20% discount at all Wanbaoge‑affiliated businesses.

Ye Liuyun stared in astonishment as he took the Zi Card, feeling a chill; the price hadn't even been set, why give me a discount card first?

He didn't know the significance of the Zi Card. Yet Yu Er and Alchemist Lu beside him had already gaped in amazement.

From their expressions, Ye Liuyun could see that the Zi Card seemed very precious.

But Ye Liuyun was still more concerned about the price of the pill at this moment; otherwise he would have no confidence.

So he asked anxiously, "Sister Liang, supplying the pill to you is no problem, but you haven't told me the price yet."

"You little money‑obsessed one! Still afraid sister would lose out on you?"

Liang Xue smiled, her eyes like a crescent moon, her body trembling like swaying blossoms, making Ye Liuyun blush a little. At the same time, a Divine Sense energy emanated from Liang Xue, spreading toward Ye Liuyun.

Within Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, the Ten Thousand Gods Command reacted instantly, keeping Ye Liuyun alert.

Ye Liuyun also realized how formidable Liang Xue was and hurriedly stepped back.

Seeing that he was unaffected and confirming his Divine Sense ability, Liang Xue stopped teasing him and said directly:

"Yellow‑Stage Solid‑Root Pill, top‑grade pill 10,000 crystal coins, high‑grade 5,000 crystal coins, mid‑grade 3,000 crystal coins, low‑grade 1,000 crystal coins. Your pills total 140,000 crystal coins. Is this price satisfactory, little brother?"

The price Liang Xue quoted was already ten times that of a body‑cultivation pill.

By this calculation, Ye Liuyun could not only gather enough ingredients but also earn a large sum of crystal coins.
