Chapter 218: The Peerlessly Beautiful Lady Yuhua

Xuanye Wang's final words were: "Fellow Daoist, if you do not strike now, we shall all die here."

Therefore, because of this sentence, Yan Taibai struck, instantly annihilating Xuanye Wang and the three Nascent Soul cultivators in yellow robes, so as to avoid dying here.

As for the treasures on their persons, the Soul Falling Sand was naturally devoured completely by the Tihun Beast, and Xuanye Wang's yin soul, along with other items related to yin souls and ghosts on his body, all became food for the Tihun Beast.

Of course, after clearing the battlefield, Xuanye Wang's favorite concubine, Yuhua Furen, also arrived.

She was truly worthy of being the favorite concubine whom Xuanye Wang had doted on for ten thousand years and whom he had helped advance into a ten-thousand-year Corpse King; even as a Corpse King, she wore a fitting palace dress that displayed her graceful figure in exquisite detail, and paired with a peerlessly beautiful face, she was slightly superior even to the Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping, and most importantly, despite being a ten-thousand-year Corpse King, one could not sense a shred of corpse stench from her.

It was unclear whether she had concealed it with a secret technique or if her constitution was simply special.

"Was the Great King killed by you, Fellow Daoist?"

Facing Yan Taibai, who had killed Xuanye Wang, Yuhua Furen's already pale and pitiable face became even more touching at this moment, making one's heart ache and causing one to want to blurt out the truth to her.

"A Charm Technique; I never imagined that a ten-thousand-year Corpse King would actually be able to cast a Charm Technique, but you should be aware, Madam, that such methods are useless against me. Now, you have two choices: first, lead us to the Tomb Mansion of you and Xuanye Wang and give us all the materials, Dharma Treasures, and treasures you have accumulated over ten thousand years; second, I will use the Soul Searching Technique and go myself. If you choose the first, as long as you are willing to follow us and help us do some things, I can promise to spare your life; if you choose the second, then death is inevitable."

Yan Taibai said, unhurriedly, with a kind smile on his face.

"Does this concubine have a choice? This concubine chooses the first; Fellow Daoist, please follow me to the Great King's Tomb Mansion."

After hearing Yan Taibai's words, a bitter smile appeared on Yuhua Furen's beautiful face, and she nodded her head in agreement.

"No rush; to avoid any unpleasant incidents, I think it would be better if you first agreed to have a Life and Death Restriction planted on you."

Upon hearing this, Yan Taibai shook his head and did not immediately agree.

"Very well, Fellow Daoist is truly cautious!"

Hearing Yan Taibai's demand, the thoughts in Yuhua Furen's heart were completely extinguished, and she immediately agreed.

"Fellow Daoist, please proceed!"

"Madam is truly straightforward."

Seeing this, Yan Taibai smiled slightly and immediately cast a spell to plant a Death Restriction within Yuhua Furen's body; with just a single thought from him, Yuhua Furen would undoubtedly die.

"Ruyin, you two fairies, come out as well! The good show is over; now it is time for the harvest."

After finishing all this, Yan Taibai looked toward Xin Ruyin, Le Shennü, and the Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping, and said with a smile.

His words caused Yuhua Furen's expression to change slightly, her bright eyes flickering as she wondered what he was thinking.

And when she saw Le Shennü, a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage, and the Tianlan Saintess, a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Peak, the thought in her heart was almost extinguished.

But she still decided to make a desperate struggle.

"Let me introduce you: this is Le Shennü of the Mulan Tribe, and this is Lin Yinping, the Tianlan Saintess of the Tutu Tribe. This is my fellow sect junior sister. They have all come with me to the Dajin Cultivation World to seek opportunities and fortune. They are also my confidantes. So, I will trouble you to lead the way, Madam."

Yan Taibai smiled slightly and introduced them to Yuhua Furen.

Hearing the words "confidante," even Xin Ruyin could not help but blush, revealing a touch of maidenly shyness.

Of course, there was also a hint of secret joy.

"The Tianlan Saintess of the Tutu Tribe; I never thought that one day I would actually be able to see the Saintess of your clan. What good fortune!" Yuhua Furen looked at Lin Yinping, the Tianlan Saintess of the Tutu Tribe, with a complex expression.

Clearly, there was a story between the two.

"I suppose bringing them here was also for the sake of the Saintess!"

"You could say that! So, is that item still in the Tomb Mansion?" Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping asked, her lips parting slightly, under the surprised gazes of Yan Taibai, Le Shennü, and even Xin Ruyin.

Her tone revealed a hint of urgency and nervousness.

"Hehe! Saintess, you are too late; that item has already been taken by someone. As for their identity, it wouldn't hurt to tell you, but I don't know if you would dare to go and ask for it back?"

Hearing this, Yuhua Furen chuckled, her tone meaningful.

"Who is it?"

Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping frowned deeply and continued to press.

Sure enough, they had arrived one step too late after all.

"The Imperial Ye Family of the Dajin Cultivation World; they made a deal with the Great King. As for the specific content of the deal, this concubine does not know, but the main items of the deal included that item. So, if you want it, you must go to the Imperial Ye Family of Dajin. And you should know what kind of existence this Imperial Ye Family of Dajin is, so this concubine cannot help with this matter."

Yuhua Furen smiled sweetly and explained the ins and outs.

"The Imperial Ye Family of the Dajin Cultivation World, tsk tsk tsk, it just so happens I have business with them too, so let's go together!"

Hearing this, Yan Taibai smiled indifferently.

Upon hearing Yan Taibai's words, Yuhua Furen's expression grew increasingly grave, but she did not say anything more and led her army of yin soldiers directly toward the Tomb Mansion of her and Xuanye Wang.

Before long, Yan Taibai, Xin Ruyin, Le Shennü of the Mulan Tribe, and the Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping, whose expression was the most unsightly, stopped in front of the Tomb Mansion following Yuhua Furen.

"Ruyin, take out your Puppet; I will split off a strand of my avatar to enter the Tomb Mansion with the Madam to avoid any accidents."

Yan Taibai gave the order.

"Yes, Brother Yan."

Hearing this, Yuhua Furen's expression became even more unsightly.

After Xin Ruyin's Nascent Soul Puppet was brought out, Yan Taibai raised an eyebrow, glanced at Yuhua Furen, whose face was exceptionally calm, and smiled again.

"How about this: Madam, just tell me where the treasures in the Tomb Mansion are located, and you won't need to go in; I can just control the Puppet to go in."

"I am afraid that will not work; a portion of the treasures are protected by Restrictions, and only the secret techniques within the cultivation methods practiced by myself and the Great King can open them."

Yuhua Furen shook her head slightly, her face expressionless.

"Fellow Daoist Taibai, please rest assured, this concubine will not do anything."

"Very well, then I will choose to trust you once, Madam. I hope you will not disappoint me. You only need to follow me for a hundred years, and I, Yan, will let you regain your freedom."

Yan Taibai nodded slightly and promised.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Taibai; this concubine understands."

Hearing Yan Taibai's words, Yuhua Furen finally felt at ease and nodded her head in agreement.

Afterward, she led Xin Ruyin's Nascent Soul Puppet into the Tomb Mansion.

"Miss Lin, what exactly is the item you spoke of?"

After Yuhua Furen entered the Tomb Mansion with the Nascent Soul Puppet, Yan Taibai then spoke to inquire.

And once these words were spoken, Xin Ruyin and the Mulan Tribe's Le Shennü also became curious, looking at Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping with doubt.

She had a feeling that that thing could allow the other party to advance to become a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage just like her.

This was the thing she was most worried about. "I will not hide it from Brother Yan, that thing is a Spirit Fruit, named Divine Origin Fruit. It is a type of Spirit Fruit from the primordial era; this Spirit Fruit was discovered jointly by Xuanye Wang and a Great Immortal Master of my tribe back then. However, it was snatched away by Xuanye Wang. Afterward, he hid in this Tomb Mansion for a hundred years without coming out, and Xuanye Wang inside the Tomb Mansion is equivalent to a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage, so in the end, that Great Immortal Master of our tribe could only leave. However, that Divine Origin Fruit is of no use to Xuanye Wang, and I believe he should still have it left, and it just so happens that Brother Yan and the two sisters are all here. Therefore, I set up this plan, and I hope Brother Yan and the two sisters will forgive me."

Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping bowed to the three of them, her face showing apology as she performed a formal salute with great solemnity.

"Divine Origin Fruit, you want to refine the Divine Heart Connection Immortal Pill to break through to Great Immortal Master of Nascent Soul Late Stage."

The Mulan Tribe's Le Shennü, who understood the Tutu Tribe best, questioned with a slightly cold tone.

"That is correct, as expected, I could not hide it from you, Sister. But it is a pity that it was actually taken away by the Imperial Ye Family of Da Jin. If there are no accidents, it should have already been refined into the Divine Heart Connection Immortal Pill. After all, calculating the time, it is about right; it happens to be the time when the Great Elder of the Imperial Ye Family of Da Jin advances to Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage."

Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping said with a bitter and disappointed look on her face.

"Hmph."

Seeing this, the Mulan Tribe's Le Shennü then let out a soft snort and said nothing more.

As for Yan Taibai and Xin Ruyin, they were also somewhat disappointed; likewise, they did not say much more.

After all, they could be considered to have been used by Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping, so naturally, they would not be happy.

Just like that, the four of them fell into silence and quiet.

It was not until Yuhua Furen came out with the Nascent Soul Puppet that they finally revealed smiles.

There were a full four Storage Bags of treasures; clearly, Yan Taibai had already finished dividing them using the Nascent Soul Stage Puppet inside.

"Alright, one share each. Let us leave."

Yan Taibai took one of the Storage Bags and distributed the remaining ones to the other three women.

After all, he still needed them to help collect materials, so naturally, he had to provide compensation.

"Many thanks, Brother Yan."

This was Xin Ruyin.

"Little sister thanks Brother Yan."

This was the Mulan Tribe's Le Shennü.

"I thank Brother Yan."

This was Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping.

"Alright, stop thanking me, it is getting late. Let us each go our separate ways! After all, we all have things to do."

Yan Taibai chuckled and chose to part ways.

"Mm! Then Brother Yan, take care."

"You all as well, especially Ruyin, remember to be extra careful."

Yan Taibai's gaze fell upon Xin Ruyin.

"Little sister understands, Brother Yan can rest assured."

Xin Ruyin said with a sweet smile.

"Good, then Furen, you go into the Jade Coffin first and leave with me!"

Yan Taibai let Yuhua Furen enter the Jade Coffin brought out from the Tomb Mansion.

Only then could he store it into his Storage Bag.

"Mm! I understand."

Yuhua Furen naturally would not refuse, and immediately took out her own Jade Coffin, entered it, and was stored into the Storage Bag by Yan Taibai.

"Farewell."

After saying this, Yan Taibai no longer had any lingering attachments and directly transformed into a streak of light to leave.

And the three sisters, Xin Ruyin, Le Shennü, and Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping, looked at each other. Le Shennü and Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping both invited Xin Ruyin to be with them.

"Little sister Ruyin, come with me to search for materials!"

"Better to come with me! After all, I am a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage; no matter what cultivator, power, or sect, they all have to give me some face. Basically, there is no need to worry about danger."

The Mulan Tribe's Le Shennü had a bit of a show-off, triumphant air.

After all, being able to show off in front of a mortal enemy was a rare opportunity.

"We of the Tutu Tribe have friendships with many sects and powers in the Dajin Cultivation World, and searching for materials is much easier. Many sects and families in the Dajin Cultivation World will also give our Tutu Tribe some face. After all, there are not many in the entire Dajin Cultivation World whose strength can surpass our Tutu Tribe. As for Sister Le, you should first find that Great Divine Master surnamed Zhong who has been missing for many years! It has been so long, Sister should inquire more about that; as for the matter of materials, leave it to me and little sister Ruyin."

Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping pursed her lips and smiled, saying meaningfully.

Although Xin Ruyin was only at the Golden Core Stage, whether it was her attainments in formations or her relationship with Yan Taibai, both were important reasons for the two women to invite her to travel together and assist.

After all, her attainments in formations and being a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could both help them.

And her relationship with Yan Taibai could deepen their own relationship with Yan Taibai.

Under these circumstances, naturally, neither of the two women would give up on Xin Ruyin.

"Many thanks for the kind intentions of the two sisters, however, the two sisters should busy yourselves with your own affairs! As for the matter of little sister searching for materials, the two sisters need not worry; relying on the Puppet on my person is enough."

Xin Ruyin shook her head slightly, and after thanking the two women, she then politely declined.

Whether it was the Mulan Tribe's Le Shennü or Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping's intentions, Xin Ruyin naturally understood them all, but she had Dayan Shenjun with her, so she basically did not need to worry about safety.

"Since little sister says so, we naturally will not force it. Then little sister, take care."

Hearing Xin Ruyin's refusal, the two women looked at each other and could only say helplessly.

"That is natural, the two sisters can rest assured, little sister takes her leave."

Xin Ruyin did not care whether the two would fight to the death after she left, and directly transformed into a streak of light to leave the Xue Ling Shan Mai.

Now the most important thing was still to find materials for Dayan Shenjun to refine a Nascent Soul Late Stage Puppet; this was the primary task.

Although many materials were incomparably precious and not something she could hope for, there were still some materials that were just more expensive, and the cultivation world still had them.

As for danger, not to mention the Nascent Soul Stage Puppet on her, even her own formations were enough to deal with most dangers.

Furthermore, there was still the trump card of Dayan Shenjun, so there was basically no need to worry about anything at all.

Finally, it was merely a temporary separation from Yan Taibai; once the Dajin Cultivation World trade fair began, they would all reunite in the capital of the Dajin Cultivation World, Jin Capital.

Therefore, there was even less need to worry about anything.

As for the grievances between Le Shennü and the Tianlan Saintess Lin Yinping, they had absolutely nothing to do with her, and naturally, she would not meddle in other people's business.
