Chen Yuru was born in a fallen cultivation clan. She knew from a young age that if she wanted to go further on the path of immortality, she would have to put in more effort than others.
Through her own efforts, she entered the Bloodflame Sect, one of the top ten devil sects. Because of her outstanding looks, she had many suitors. However, she never paid attention to those low level cultivators. Her goal was to reach the Core Formation stage and above. Only those high level cultivators could help her go further on the path of immortality.
The high level cultivators of the Bloodflame Sect had many concubines. To them, a concubine was just a plaything. They wouldn't be willing to spend too many resources on her.
Chen Yuru spent a lot of effort and found an elder who was always alone. He was a very good person to entrust her to.
This elder's surname was Li. He had a metal-attribute heavenly spiritual root and was the disciple of a certain Yuanying cultivator in the Bloodflame Sect. He was also the person with the most potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Chen Yuru spent half a year to find out all the information about Elder Li.
He started cultivating at the age of six, reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of twelve, and reached the Core Formation stage at the age of one hundred. Aside from his excellent aptitude, this elder had a dignified appearance. He was the ideal partner of thousands of female disciples in the Bloodflame Sect.
After analyzing the information, Chen Yuru began to appear in front of Elder Li more frequently.
However, she was different from the other female disciples. She didn't flirt with Elder Li. Her attitude towards Elder Li was neither cold nor indifferent. She gave people the feeling of an iceberg, causing Elder Li to have some interest in her.
In addition, she found out that Elder Li needed to take pills to replenish his blood because of his cultivation technique. Therefore, she spent all her wealth to learn alchemy. She learned how to refine pills to replenish blood.
When she found out that Elder Li had tamed a Bloodsoul Python, she also tamed a Bloodsoul Python.
Gradually, Elder Li developed a great interest in her. In the end, he fell under her skirt and helped her reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
In the beginning, Chen Yu Ru was only Elder Li's concubine. However, she knew how to conduct herself. Whatever she did, she would first think for Elder Li. As long as it was something that Elder Li liked, she would also like it.
Under Chen Yuru's unremitting efforts, Elder Li became more and more fond of Chen Yuru. In the end, he promoted her and made her his Dao Companion.
After forming his Nascent Soul, Elder Li spent a large amount of resources on Chen Yuru, helping her to successfully form her Gold Core so that Chen Yuru could be with him forever.
After successfully forming her Gold Core, Chen Yuru felt that her many years of hard work had paid off. However, she was very clear that if she wanted to progress further, she would have to rely on herself. Elder Li was only at the early stage of Yuanying, so he wouldn't be able to help much. After all, Elder Li had to spend a lot of spirit stones on his own cultivation.
Therefore, Chen Yuru took in a few disciples and opened a few shops in the market controlled by the Bloodflame Sect. With her disciples managing the shops, they could earn over ten to twenty thousand spirit stones every year.
On this day, Chen Yu Ru was meditating in the secret chamber when a familiar female voice sounded from outside the door, "Master, there is a guest in the shop. He has a few stalks of thousand-year-old spirit herbs for sale, but his price is too high. I'm afraid you will have to come personally."
"Guests? What was his cultivation level? Male or female? Did you not mention your Grandmaster's name? "Chen Yuru opened her eyes and asked with a frown.
"Male. This person's aura is even stronger than Master's. He should be at the middle stage of Core Formation. I mentioned Grandmaster's name, but he didn't buy it. He said that if I didn't give him a reasonable price, he would sell the spirit herbs to Elder Song's Hundred Spirits Pavilion. I had Junior Martial Sister Li keep him in check, so I came back to report to you."
Chen Yuru rolled her eyes and opened the door to the secret chamber. She saw a middle-aged woman with ordinary facial features standing outside with a respectful expression.
"How many stalks of thousand-year-old spirit herbs? How much is he asking for? "Chen Yuru asked.
"Five stalks of thousand-year-old Blood Origin Grass. He asked for ten thousand spirit stones. The market price is only eight thousand spirit stones. He asked for ten thousand spirit stones, but he refused to sell. I'm afraid only Master will be able to settle this." The middle-aged woman truthfully replied.
"Alright! Then Master will make a trip! In any case, this is our sect's market square. I'm not afraid of him playing any tricks. "Chen Yuru thought for a moment and agreed.
After she finished speaking, Chen Yuru quickly walked out with the middle-aged woman following closely behind.
After walking out of a magnificent blood-red palace, Chen Yuru patted the spirit beast pouch on her waist. A blood-red light flashed, and a hundred-feet-long blood-red python flew out of it. It was suspended high above the ground.
Chen Yuru and the middle-aged woman walked up one after the other. The crimson python twisted its body and flew into the sky in a streak of crimson light.
Not long after, the crimson python landed outside a huge valley that extended in all directions. A burst of noise faintly came from the valley.
After the crimson python returned to the spirit beast pouch, Chen Yuru led the middle-aged woman into the valley.
Not long after, she arrived at a hundred-meter-tall pavilion. The plaque at the entrance read "Thousand Herb Pavilion". Opposite the Thousand Herb Pavilion was a pavilion called Hundred Spirits Pavilion. Its decoration was even more imposing than the Thousand Herb Pavilion.
The Thousand Herb Pavilion was engaged in the sale and purchase of spirit medicines. The spirit medicines in the hall were under a hundred years old. Most of the customers were Qi Condensation cultivators. The third floor was the place to receive Core Formation cultivators.
Chen Yuru looked at the flow of people in the shop and nodded with satisfaction. Then, she walked up to the third floor.
An ordinary yellow-robed girl was chatting with a handsome black-clothed man. There were five open wooden boxes on the table. Each box contained a foot-long crimson grass.
The black-clothed man was Wang Changsheng.
The yellow-robed girl saw Chen Yuru and her face lit up with joy. She quickly walked over to greet her.
"Alright, I know. You can go down! I'll entertain this Fellow Daoist. That's right, bring a pot of good tea. "Chen Yuru interrupted the yellow-robed girl and commanded without hesitation.
"Yes, Master." The yellow-robed girl complied and withdrew.
"How should I address you? I am the Bloodflame Sect's Chen Yuru. Fellow Daoist can address me as Madam Li. "Chen Yuru faintly smiled at Wang Changsheng and sat down on a chair beside him.
"I am surnamed Wang, Madam Li. Nowadays, thousand-year-old spirit medicines are very rare. Ten thousand spirit stones for five thousand-year-old Blood Origin Grasses isn't too much!" Wang Changsheng bargained.
"Wang Daoyou is right. Although thousand-year-old spirit medicines are rare, the five thousand-year-old Blood Origin Grasses on the market are only worth eight thousand spirit stones. Wang Daoyou can't let us suffer a loss!" Chen Yuru said with a smile.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he revealed a thoughtful expression.
At that moment, the yellow-robed girl walked over with a tray. On top of the tray was an exquisite teapot and two teacups. She poured a cup of tea for the two of them and withdrew.
Chen Yuru didn't urge Wang Changsheng. Instead, she took a sip of the tea.
"How about this! Let's both take a step back. Nine thousand spirit stones. How about it? "Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked.
"Wang Daoyou, although my husband is a Yuanying cultivator, I still have to pay over a thousand spirit stones every year for my store. As a small business, the most I can pay is eight thousand five hundred spirit stones. Any more and we won't be able to make any profit." Chen Yuru bitterly smiled and said indifferently.
She believed that for the sake of a Yuanying cultivator, the other party would definitely concede. With his mid Core Formation cultivation, it was impossible for him to offend a Yuanying cultivator for a few hundred spirit stones.
"Alright! Eight thousand five hundred it is. "Wang Changsheng thought for a moment and agreed.
When Chen Yuru heard this, her face lit up with joy. Her jade-like hand touched the storage pouch at her waist, but she was surprised to find that she couldn't use the slightest bit of magic power.
When Wang Changsheng saw this, a trace of ridicule appeared on his face. He slapped the corpse pouch at his waist and Ye Mingyue flew out. She opened her mouth and spat out a pink mist.
Chen Yuru accidentally inhaled a few breaths and felt her head grow heavy. She fainted on the ground.
Ye Mingyue pursed her lips into a smile and turned into a streak of red light before flying back into the corpse pouch.
At that moment, the yellow-robed girl walked over once more.
"Stand guard here. Without my command, don't let anyone disturb me." Wang Changsheng commanded.
