In the room, after Yan Shi revealed the identity of his master, he kept looking at Ye Ping.
To his surprise, there was no trace of surprise in Ye Ping's eyes at all.
That was a little unusual. After all, Yan Shi was already prepared for Ye Ping's expression to change drastically.
However, Ye Ping's expression and gaze were extremely calm, as if he had long guessed it.
'This kid has good willpower. '
Yan Shi thought to himself, but he did not seem particularly surprised. Instead, he looked at Ye Ping and waited for his answer.
After hearing that he was the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, Ye Ping was indeed not surprised at all.
After all, he had given Yan Shi a supreme-grade ancient treasure. Even if Yan Shi said that his master was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Ye Ping would believe him.
A supreme-grade ancient treasure was almost enough to buy a first-grade sect.
Since he was so generous, he had to be the Crown Prince.
After glancing at Yan Shi, Ye Ping immediately understood why he came to look for him.
'He probably wants to rope me in. No wonder he gave me a supreme-grade ancient treasure as soon as they met. '
However, what made Ye Ping curious was what he saw in him.
'Is it because of the battle with Huangfu Tianlong? '
Ye Ping was indeed curious. If it was because of that, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was too resourceful.
'As soon as a genius appeared in the Ten Nations, he immediately tried to rope him in. Such a crown prince must have terrifying means. '
At this moment, Yan Shi couldn't help but speak up.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you're so young and talented. I heard that you even fought the genius of Nan Nation and became famous after that battle. My master admires you very much. Fellow Daoist Ye, can you do me the honor of meeting my master?"
Although Yan Shi was arrogant, he knew that the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty needed Ye Ping. To be precise, he needed Ye Ping's non-poisonous pill.
As for the so-called defeat of the genius of Nan Nation, it was nothing. It was fine to boast about it, but nothing else was worth mentioning.
So what if the genius of Nan Nation was strong?
So what if Ye Ping was strong?
At the level of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was no shortage of geniuses at all. Would the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty lack geniuses? Would he lack powerhouses?
No matter how talented Ye Ping was, he was just a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator.
There was a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse beside the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, there was no such thing as geniuses. They could destroy heaven and earth easily. Hence, they took a liking to Ye Ping not because of his strength or talent.
It was for the non-poisonous pill, nothing more.
However, he couldn\'t say those words. Sometimes, he couldn\'t say what he needed. Otherwise, if Ye Ping was arrogant and prideful, that would be the last thing they wanted to see.
Yan Shi had seen countless geniuses and had roped in many of them for the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Therefore, Yan Shi understood geniuses very well. They were not afraid of geniuses being strong. What they were most afraid of was geniuses not having a broad vision and a broad view.
He was fearless because he was ignorant.
However, Yan Shi was a little relieved about Ye Ping because he had investigated and found out that Ye Ping had a good relationship with Li Yu, the crown prince of Jin Nation. Besides, he was also a student of the Jin Nation Academy. Hence, he knew what the Great Xia Dynasty was like.
Knowing how supreme the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was, he was very confident.
However, at this moment, Ye Ping\'s voice sounded.
"Fellow Daoist Yan Shi, thank you for your kindness, Crown Prince, but I\'m a man of leisure. I\'m willing to drink tea, but I don\'t really like following others or working for others."
"Of course, I\'m also very grateful for the gift, Crown Prince. I don\'t have much to give you, Crown Prince. This is a new tea from Jin Nation. Take it back to the Crown Prince as a gift in return."
Ye Ping smiled calmly. The purple jade bead was priceless and it was given to him by the crown prince. Hence, there was no way Ye Ping would reject it. As for joining the crown prince\'s faction or working for the crown prince, that was impossible.
Ye Ping had always believed in an ironclad rule.
He would never work for others, not in this lifetime.
Besides, being the crown prince was a high-risk occupation. Since ancient times, be it in his previous life or this world, the crown prince had basically never had a good ending.
Hence, after finding out that Li Yu was the crown prince, Ye Ping had honestly considered letting Li Yu give up his position.
Later on, he found out that Li Yu\'s father had given birth to a few princes and most of them were several years younger than Li Yu. Hence, there was nothing much to say.
Besides, Li Yu\'s position was still fine. If he really had the support of a big shot in Jin Nation, he wouldn\'t be usurped.
Besides, the Great Xia Dynasty would not tolerate anyone rebelling. It seemed that the Great Xia Dynasty would not ignore the affairs of the Ten Nations, but at critical moments, the Great Xia Dynasty would definitely intervene to uphold the orthodoxy.
Hence, Li Yu was considered a decent crown prince.
However, being the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was really a high-ranking occupation.
Ye Ping did not believe that the other princes would not covet the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Great Xia Dynasty was in charge of Jin Nation, but who was in charge of the Great Xia Dynasty?
To put it bluntly, not only would the other four Dynasties and even some Hallowed Grounds not lend a hand, they would instead add insult to injury and support the other princes, and they wished for nothing more than for these princes to fight each other to the death.
By then, in order to fight for the throne, they would definitely promise countless benefits. Even if they did not promise any benefits, the consumption of internal strife would always be greater than that of external strife.
Hence, the battle for the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty would definitely be extremely terrifying.
Ye Ping did not like to speculate in stocks in the first place, especially when it came to imperial stocks. If he made a mistake, his entire family would be wiped out. If he made the right move, it might not necessarily be a good thing.
The ancients said, "When all the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. When the cunning hare is dead, the hound is cooked."
\ 'Isn\'t it good to cultivate immortality?\'
\ 'Why do I have to get involved in the affairs of the royal family?\'
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye, you\'re really humorous."
Yan Shi chuckled. He was actually a little puzzled as he didn\'t know what Ye Ping meant.
\ 'You said that you want to reject the Crown Prince, but the problem is that you want to accept the gift.\'
\ 'He agreed, but it seems that he doesn\'t want to meet the Crown Prince at all.\'
If he were to rope in geniuses normally, Yan Shi would leave right away. So what if he gave him a purple jade bead?
The Crown Prince did not lack a purple jade bead.
However, the problem was that the Crown Prince was not interested in Ye Ping\'s strength or talent.
It was the non-poisonous pill.
The non-poisonous pill was of great importance. Hence, Yan Shi still wanted a definite answer.
He looked at Ye Ping.
"Fellow Ye, although I don't know what concerns you have, but if you follow His Highness the Crown Prince, glory, splendor, wealth, and rank will be a little tacky. However, as long as Fellow Ye follows His Highness the Crown Prince, won't you be able to do whatever you want in Great Xia?"
"In fact, if you can really help the Crown Prince, you might even be conferred the title of king in the future."
Yan Shi said seriously.
It was just that this sentence was purely used to trick people.
The conferment of the title of king was of great importance. Unless the Crown Prince could ascend to the throne, he wouldn\'t be conferred the title of king no matter how much he offered.
Of course, it was impossible and he couldn\'t say it were two different things. Yan Shi was very good at wooing people, and he knew that there were no cultivators in this world who weren\'t greedy. The geniuses were arrogant not because they were arrogant, but because they couldn\'t agree on the price.
Yan Shi\'s thoughts were actually not wrong at all, but unfortunately, the person he met was Ye Ping.
"Fellow Daoist Yan's words are extremely correct. However, this Ye will still say the same thing. I'm just a wild crane that lives a carefree life. I don't wish to join any powers, nor do I wish to be involved in any conflicts. I'm fine with drinking tea.
Ye Ping continued.
Anyway, no matter what, he wouldn\'t join the so-called Crown Prince or take the initiative to get involved.
\ 'Isn\'t it good to cultivate quietly?\'
As Ye Ping said so, Yan Shi fell silent.
However, he was neither aggressive nor angry. Instead, he smiled calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you\'re indeed extraordinary. You\'re able to remain unmoved by the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Your Dao Heart is indeed impressive. I like to befriend you too, Fellow Daoist Ye."
Yan Shi\'s words were his usual means. In fact, the identity of the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty often had a negative effect sometimes. After all, there were too many geniuses, and the more one tried to rope them in, the more arrogant they would be.
However, one couldn\'t use force, and they couldn\'t miss out on geniuses just like that.
Hence, Yan Shi would often use his identity to make friends and dispel the other party\'s guard. He would then use various methods to broaden the horizons of those geniuses and let them understand how vast the world was.
By then, those geniuses would be willing to join the Crown Prince even without him taking the initiative to ask.
As the saying went, the ignorant were fearless.
It was just like living in a village, eating the best food, drinking the best water, and living in the best accommodations, but not spending a single tael of silver a year.
If one had 10,000 taels of silver, if someone gave one 100,000 taels of silver to do something that one didn\'t want to do, one wouldn\'t do it at all.
It was because one didn\'t need silver. If one couldn\'t even finish spending 10,000 taels of silver, it would be meaningless even if one were to be given 100,000 taels of silver.
However, if one were to take a trip to a big city and have a meal of delicacies that were worth dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver, one wouldn\'t be able to spend it all.
If you went to a place like Spotless, you would only know that you didn't have a lot of silver on hand at that time.
Hence, even if they were given 50,000 taels of silver, they would still be willing to do something that they didn\'t want to do, let alone 100,000 taels of silver.
It was the same for geniuses. They were now carefree and didn\'t have to worry about food and clothing. They didn\'t lack any resources because they were living in a small village that they hadn\'t left yet.
Yan Shi\'s idea was to bring them out of the small village.
He wanted them to see the world and understand it. Only then would they know how great it was to follow the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Hearing this, Ye Ping smiled and said.
"As the saying goes, one more friend means one more path. I do like to make friends. Brother Yan, this is the new tea of Jin Nation. I\'ll give you one as a greeting gift."
"Don\'t stand on ceremony and don\'t give me any gifts. Although you\'re the Crown Prince\'s disciple and your every move represents the Crown Prince, I won\'t accept your gifts."
Ye Ping took out the second bag of new tea and handed it to Yan Shi.
His words were extremely sincere.
However, Yan Shi couldn\'t help but be slightly stunned.
For some reason, he felt that Ye Ping was trying to trick him. However, he was indeed the Crown Prince\'s disciple and hence, he was naturally generous. He immediately took out a light blue bracelet.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, as the saying goes, courtesy calls for reciprocity. Although it\'s just a bag of new tea, the gesture is more important. As the Crown Prince\'s disciple, every move I make represents the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is generous and never stingy. He\'s also very particular about etiquette."
"So, this bracelet can be considered a greeting gift. It\'s just a small gift, not worth mentioning."
Yan Shi handed the bracelet to Ye Ping. It was also an ancient treasure, but it was not a supreme-grade one. However, it was valuable.
"Brother Yan, you\'re being too polite, I don\'t want it."
Ye Ping said with a determined expression, but his eyes were fixed on the bracelet.
"Brother Ye, courtesy calls for reciprocity. Take it."
Yan Shi knew that Ye Ping was just being polite, so he continued to insist. However, to be honest, he was a little upset too. However, if he could befriend Ye Ping, it wouldn\'t be a big deal.
"No, no, the Crown Prince has already given me a treasure. If you give me another one, it would seem like I\'m a greedy person. I don\'t want it, I definitely don\'t want it."
Ye Ping said with a determined expression.
"It\'s alright, Brother Ye, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, and I am me. We\'re friends."
Yan Shi continued to speak.
When Ye Ping wanted to continue pretending, Yan Shi couldn\'t help but say helplessly, "Brother Ye, if you don\'t want it, I\'ll just throw it away and take it as a gift to you."
As soon as he said that, Ye Ping accepted the treasure helplessly. After thinking about it, he took out a new bag of tea.
After all, since Yan Shi had given him two treasures, wouldn\'t it seem like he was taking advantage of him by giving him two new bags of tea?
It was good to give him an extra bag and not owe each other anything.
Yan Shi was a little speechless. He didn\'t know what the new tea meant. Ye Ping gave him three bags in a row, but he didn\'t need it either. The Great Xia Dynasty could have as many as he wanted.
However, he couldn\'t embarrass Ye Ping, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is my voice transmission talisman. If you have anything, you can contact me directly. You can contact me through this voice transmission talisman in the Great Xia Dynasty."
"If you have any trouble, feel free to tell me. It has nothing to do with the Crown Prince. It\'s purely a personal matter."
Yan Shi said. Then, he left without any hesitation.
Before Ye Ping could chat with him again, Yan Shi disappeared from the room, leaving only his voice transmission talisman behind.
At this moment, Ye Ping couldn\'t help but ponder in the room.
Yan Shi knew how to conduct himself well. He didn\'t continue to mention the Crown Prince, which made Ye Ping have a good impression of him.
To be honest, Ye Ping previously thought that Yan Shi was a lackey who was condescending, but now, it seemed that those who could follow the Crown Prince were not fools. Only some nouveau riche would be able to groom such a haughty and condescending lackey.
\ 'The royal family is really pretentious.\'
While Ye Ping was thinking about it, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded.
"Let me in, I\'m the Crown Prince of Jin Nation and my master is Ye Ping. How dare you stop me?"
The loud voice sounded.
Ye Ping couldn\'t help but be stunned.
Soon, Ye Ping\'s expression became strange and he couldn\'t help but take back what he said just now.
\ 'There\'s really no comparison.\'
\ 'Look at the subordinates of the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty and then look at Li Yu. He can\'t even compare to one of his subordinates.\'
\ 'He deserves to be the monarch of a small nation for the rest of his life.\'
Creak.
Pushing the door open, Ye Ping immediately saw Li Yu who had been stopped outside the courtyard.
"Let him in."
Ye Ping said. All of a sudden, the disciples guarding outside the courtyard immediately let him in.
In their eyes, Ye Ping\'s status was higher than Li Yu\'s.
"Master, Master."
After being let through, Li Yu hurriedly rushed over with an excited face. He arrived in front of Ye Ping and spoke up.
"Master, aren\'t you going to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament?"
Li Yu specially came to the Jin Nation Academy for that matter.
"That's why you came?"
Ye Ping walked into the room and asked calmly.
"Of course I came for that. Master, I have insider news that the Great Xia Dynasty Academy will open within five years if nothing goes wrong. If you don\'t participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, you won\'t be able to enter the Ten Nations Academy."
"If you don\'t enter the Ten Nations Academy, you won\'t be able to enter the Great Xia Dynasty Academy. The Great Xia Dynasty Academy is not as easy to enter as the Jin Nation Academy."
Li Yu said anxiously.
With a calm expression, Ye Ping took out a new bag of tea from the desk and wanted to hand it to Li Yu. However, when he saw that Li Yu\'s hands were empty, he put it back.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping said calmly.
"I have my own plans, don\'t ask about such things in the future."
Ye Ping didn\'t want to continue answering about the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.
He didn\'t want to continue answering about the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.
No matter what happened, he wouldn\'t go.
However, at the end, Ye Ping pointed at the Blue Flame bracelet and purple jade bead on the table and said, "By the way, Li Yu, how much do you think these two things are worth? Can you help me? I need Spirit Stones. "
After he said that, Li Yu initially didn\'t want to answer and still wanted to dissuade Ye Ping. However, after seeing the two treasures, Li Yu\'s eyes widened.
"Supreme-grade ancient treasures, purple jade Essence Soul bead, and a bracelet made of Blue Spirit Fire Stone? These are all top-notch treasures. Master, do you lack Spirit Stones? I can buy them. "
Li Yu\'s eyes immediately widened.
He knew that those two things were worth a lot.
"How much?"
Ye Ping asked curiously.
"Master, I\'m not an adult yet, can you give me a discount? I\'ll pay 5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones, is that enough? If not, I\'ll borrow some more. "
Li Yu asked.
"Get lost! Be serious. "
Ye Ping could tell at a glance that Li Yu was offering a ridiculous price.
"Master, I can't be serious. This thing is priceless. I can't eat it, but I know someone who can eat it, but it will take some time. Conservatively speaking, these two things are worth at least a million spirit stones. How many spirit stones do you need? Do you want me to give it to you first? "
Li Yu said a number and asked curiously at the same time.
A million high-grade spirit stones?
Ye Ping was a little surprised. At the same time, he shook his head and rejected Li Yu's gift.
Li Yu was the Crown Prince. He had both money and money at the same time. As the Crown Prince, how could he not need to take care of things?
"How long will it take?"
He asked.
"One month at the fastest, three months at the slowest."
Li Yu said.
All of a sudden, Ye Ping couldn't help but frown.
This was indeed a little slow.
Moreover, this was a gift from the Crown Prince, so it wouldn't be good to sell it. After all, the Crown Prince had politely given him a gift, and if he sold it, it would be his fault no matter what.
At the thought of this, Ye Ping couldn't help but frown.
He didn't want to think about anything else right now. He just wanted to get more Spirit Stones.
Li Yu, who was at the side, seemed to have seen through Ye Ping's thoughts and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Master, are you short of Spirit Stones? I know a way to earn Spirit Stones quickly. "
Li Yu said.
As soon as he said that, Ye Ping immediately perked up.
"What is it? How fast is it? "
Ye Ping was curious.
"It's quite fast. The first place of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament will be rewarded with a million superior-grade Spirit Stones. If we're lucky, in theory, Master, the tournament can end within seven days."
Li Yu said.
At this moment, Ye Ping froze in shock.
'There are Spirit Stones to be won in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament? '
At this moment …
In the Ten Nations Academy.
In the main hall.
The master of the Ten Nations Academy stood respectfully in front of a middle-aged man, looking fearful and fearful.
A middle-aged man said calmly.
"Academy Master Chen, this map records the lair of the Fiendcelestial Cult in Wei Nation. Pass the order of the Heavenly Supervisory's dean to add an additional assessment to the Ten Nations Grand Tournament and let the disciples personally besiege the Fiendcelestial Cult. Do you understand?"
A voice sounded.
The expression of the master of the Ten Nations Academy changed.'Add an additional final assessment? '
'Personally besiege the Fiendcelestial Cult? ' That was really unprecedented.
However, he did not have any complaints, nor did he dare to. Hence, he had no choice but to say seriously.
"This subordinate understands. Please pass on the message to the superior. This subordinate will definitely do his best in this matter."
After saying this, the middle-aged man nodded, but in the end, he still said a few words.
"This is an order from the higher-ups, don't make any mistakes."
After saying that, the middle-aged man disappeared.
The master of the Ten Nations Academy couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he was curious and surprised.
He was curious because the Heavenly Supervisory had never bothered about the matters of the Ten Nations Academy, but he was surprised because it was actually an order from the dean of the Heavenly Supervisory.
The dean of the Great Xia Dynasty Heavenly Supervisory was an existence second only to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and even the Crown Prince had to avoid him.
He was truly second only to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
He couldn't understand, but he didn't think too much about it.
