Standing at the entrance of the valley, Duan Yao looked uneasy but respectful. She had asked the Herb King Master for an elixir pill in a sweet and obedient tone, not as arrogant as before.
However, there was no reply from the valley.
Duan Yao was a little anxious. She took out a blue voice transmission talisman and shouted, "I've heard of Ancestor's great name. I'm here to offer 16 Return Dragon Grass, a Level 5 spirit herb, in exchange for one Beauty Pill."
Hao Ren stood far behind the mountain and looked at Duan Yao. Due to the array formation set by Zhen Congming, the mist around Ethereal Summit hindered spiritual senses. Since Duan Yao was here to ask for elixir pills, she didn't dare to release her spiritual senses to sense the situation in and around the valley. That was why she didn't know that Hao Ren was looking at her from the forest high above.
Duan Yao had thought that the Herb King Master would at least talk to her after she told him about Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven. However, the Herb King Master in the valley didn't even respond to her. Feeling helpless, she told him her real purpose of coming here and what she wanted in exchange.
Now, the name of the Herb King Master on Fifth Heaven had spread to Sixth Heaven through the top sects on Fifth Heaven.
When Duan Yao heard that she could get beauty pills from Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven, she stole 16 level 5 spiritual herbs from the herb garden of her sect and came to Fifth Heaven to ask for elixir pills. This time, she didn't even bring Luojia, the level 5 snow lion. In fact, she couldn't steal Luojia. Duan Yao's dad suspected that Duan Yao would cause trouble again, so he kept Luojia with him and didn't let Duan Yao get close to him.
"Please give me the elixir pill, Master! I, Duan Yao, am the daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master, and I'll be grateful! "
Seeing no response from the valley, Duan Yao gritted her teeth and took out the third voice transmission note and sent it into the valley.
The voice transmission note was a special dharma note that could penetrate array formations, but it was expensive. In order to get the beauty pills, Duan Yao had to use three voice transmission notes in a row, which was quite expensive.
In the first voice transmission note, Duan Yao hoped that the Herb King Master would give her a beauty pill for the sake of Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven. That way, she could sneak the level 5 spiritual herb back to the sect without anyone knowing that she had stolen it.
In the second voice transmission note, Duan Yao gritted her teeth and proposed the condition of a level 5 spiritual herb under the pressure of the sect's investigation, hoping to persuade Medicine King Master with a level 5 spiritual herb. The actual value of 16 level 5 spiritual herbs was far more than a beauty pill. However, beauty pills were rare and hard to find. Besides, the Herb King Master on Fifth Heaven produced beauty pills which had great effects!
Seeing that there was still no response from the valley, Duan Yao was worried that the Medicine King Master would doubt her sincerity, so she had to reveal her identity. As the daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master on Sixth Heaven, she wouldn't lower herself to trade for elixirs in the three nearby small sects. If she could get to know this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, it would be a great opportunity for her, and she might even be able to redeem her father's punishment.
After sending all three voice transmission notes, Duan Yao stood at the entrance of the valley with her hands clenched, looking at the white mist in anticipation and nervousness.
"This little girl is the daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master …" Standing in the distance, Hao Ren couldn't help but chuckle.
In the three voice transmission talismans, Duan Yao had confessed everything about herself.
Since there was no response from Ethereal Summit, he knew that they were waiting for his decision. At this thought, Hao Ren walked to the side of the valley and entered the array formation.
"Gongzi!"
"Hao Ren!"
"Uncle!"
Sure enough, the moment that Hao Ren entered the valley, they yelled at the same time.
From the inside of the valley, they could vaguely see Duan Yao standing at the entrance. The array formation that Zhen Congming set up allowed people from the inside to see what was going on outside of the valley, but people from the outside couldn't see what was going on inside.
"This stupid woman! I was planning to mess with her on Sixth Heaven, but she came here herself!" Zhao Yanzi rolled up her sleeves and yelled.
In fact, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but her action exposed her delinquent nature.
"Little Zhumu, calm down!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili immediately stopped her.
With the three voice transmission notes in her hand, Xie Yujia asked Hao Ren, "What should we do now?"
She knew that Sky Mountain Sect was the sect on Sixth Heaven where Hao Ren had stolen rare scrolls, and she also knew that Zhao Yanzi had a personal grudge against Duan Yao. However, she didn't expect that this little girl was the daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master. After all, Sky Mountain Sect was a big sect on Sixth Heaven.
"Do you have any more beauty pills?" Hao Ren asked her.
"Yes. I have more than a dozen," Xie Yujia answered.
Since the market demand for beauty pills was almost the same as that for foundation establishment pills, Xie Yujia made these two kinds of elixir pills the most. As she got more and more skilled, she kept a lot of them.
Foundation establishment pills were elixir pills for cultivation and shouldn't be taken in large quantities. However, beauty pills didn't have any side effects. Other than maintaining one's beauty, they could also detoxify and nourish one's skin. They were the most luxurious beauty products for female cultivators. Even Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had asked Xie Yujia for two of them when they went to the valley.
If one wanted to make a fortune in the cultivation world, making beauty pills was the safest and most profitable way. Of course, refining the Fixed Beauty Pill also required superb alchemy skills and abundant spirit herb resources. Except for Herb King Master who could produce elixir pills in batches like Xie Yujia, no traditional elixir master would waste his time on beauty pills that couldn't help with cultivation.
"Then, give her a beauty pill," Hao Ren said.
"Ah! What?! "Zhao Yanzi who was stopped by the Lu sisters jumped up abruptly.
It was the nature of all women to love beauty, and the female cultivators were no exception. Compared with mortal women, female cultivators who could live for hundreds of years wanted to keep their beauty forever.
However, the price of several hundred Spirit Stones made the vast majority of female cultivators flinch. Such a resource of Spirit Stones could already be exchanged for a Foundation-Building Pill, and for the vast majority of cultivators, the Foundation-Building Pill had an extraordinary significance. Moreover, if one tried to obtain a Foundation-Building Pill by any means possible, and then diligently cultivated, and stepped into the Foundation-Building Realm, they would at least be middle-aged. Even if they obtained a Look-Preserving Pill, they could only maintain their middle-aged appearance.
As the daughter of the Sect Master of Sky Mountain Sect, Duan Yao had all kinds of cultivation resources, including the Foundation Establishment Pills that most cultivators dreamed of.
Since she was a baby, she had been taken care of by several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who took turns to nurture her bloodline. When she was two years old, she had been taught by the Grand Uncle-Master of Sky Mountain Sect, who was the oldest and most powerful Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in Sky Mountain Sect. That was why she had reached the Core Formation Realm at the age of 16.
However, Sky Mountain Sect, which specialized in elixir making, didn't know how to make beauty pills. No elixir master in the Sky Mountain Sect would have the time to study these flashy but impractical elixir pills that could only preserve one's appearance but not elevate one's realm. Even if they tried to make them, they would fail and waste precious spiritual herbs.
Duan Yao had forced several elixir masters in the sect to make beauty pills, but they all failed. Duan Yao's father knew about this, and he gave a strict order that no elixir master in Sky Mountain Sect was allowed to study beauty pills. They had to make foundation establishment pills and other 'useful' elixir pills that were more important to the inner disciples. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be expelled from the sect.
After being rejected and scolded by her father, Duan Yao felt wronged and unreconciled. Therefore, she turned her attention to purchasing beauty pills. However, she asked some of her close senior and junior brothers to search around Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven, but they couldn't find any news of beauty pills.
Last time, she followed her Senior Brother Ye to Fifth Heaven with the excuse of the White Sand Sect. Actually, she wanted to find beauty pills. However, she didn't find any beauty pills. Instead, she made enemies with Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren.
Two months had passed, and she was released from the confinement in the back mountain. She was planning to be a good girl in the sect and calm her father down. However, she suddenly heard that there was an Herb King Master in Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven who could make beauty pills. She thought about it and finally snuck out to Fifth Heaven to ask for elixir pills.
If she could get the beauty pills, it would be worth it even if she got a beating from her father!
"Hey! Hey! "
Seeing Hao Ren walking toward the entrance of the valley with the beauty pills in his hand, Zhao Yanzi ran over immediately and blocked his way with her hands.
"Don't give it to her!" Zhao Yanzi glared at him fiercely.
"She's staying near Ethereal Summit. If Sky Mountain Sect finds out, it won't be good for us," Hao Ren said with a frown.
"Ok!" Zhao Yanzi opened her arms and puffed out her chest. Then, she pouted and looked at Hao Ren. "You … You think she's pretty, right?"
An inexplicable jealousy surged up from Zhao Yanzi's heart. If it weren't for her rude personality, Duan Yao would be very lively and pretty.
Hao Ren must be interested in her beauty if he wanted to give her the beauty pills!
Besides, she was the daughter of the Sky Mountain Sect Master, which sounded impressive!
Zhao Yanzi suddenly felt that Duan Yao was very threatening! She was young, pretty, lively, and had a good family background. Moreover, her realm was higher than hers!
Since she kept calling Hao Ren a "pervert", she might be interested in him!
"I don't care! You can't give her the beauty pills!" Zhao Yanzi bared her teeth and opened her arms to block Hao Ren.
This Duan Yao was very threatening, very threatening! If Duan Yao liked Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi wouldn't be able to stop her!
Duan Yao was obviously the type to fight to the end, and she wasn't someone who would compromise easily like Xie Yujia!
Hao Ren looked at her helplessly. Then, he looked at Duan Yao who was outside of the valley and sighed before putting away the elixir pills. He felt that it was better to avoid trouble, and the Beauty Pill wasn't very precious to them.
However, Zhao Yanzi didn't like Duan Yao and didn't want to give her any benefits.
"Ok, I won't give her the elixir pills. If you can force her to leave, that's fine too," Hao Ren said.
