Tan Xiu didn't seem to hear Firecandle's compliments. The scenes in his mind quickly changed, all of them were the scenes of him getting along with Star Tears. If there was anyone he could trust in the Immortal World, then Star Tears was definitely one of them.
However …
He couldn't reveal his identity. Even if he trusted Star Tears 100%, he also knew that there was a method in the Immortal World to search the memories of others. If those terrifying enemies were to attack Star Tears, there was a high chance that he would be found after searching her memories.
Furthermore …
Through his encounter with Star Tears, Tan Xiu also realized one thing. The current situation of the Rosefinch Holy Sect was probably very bad. It was very likely that there were a lot of disciples of the Rosefinch Holy Sect in the Convict Arena or some other place, as well as people he cared about. And these people were likely facing great tribulations and the threat of death.
"I have time. I still have a lot of time."
"But …"
"The Rosefinch Holy Sect doesn't have much time."
"And they don't have much time for the people they care about."
Tan Xiu clenched his fists and a cold light gradually emerged in his eyes. After a long time, he loosened his clenched fists and suppressed all the past memories in the deepest part of his heart.
"Firecandle, I suddenly remembered that there's still one more important thing to do. Therefore, I can't take you here to play. Before parting, I'll give you some words. "Tan Xiu stood up and turned to look at Firecandle.
"What words?" Firecandle was confused.
"Never have the heart to harm others, but never have the heart to guard against others," said Tan Xiu. "If you want to live longer, beware of everyone, even those closest to you."
Firecandle's brows tightly furrowed as he silently pondered over Tan Xiu's words. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. When he looked up again, he found that Tan Xiu had already left.
"I'll keep it in mind, thank you."
Firecandle took a deep breath and said in her heart.
Inside the wide corridor, Tan Xiu glanced at both ends. Although there were some people passing by, he still looked at Qin Yu and lightly said, "If I remember correctly, the Convict Arena has a special place to purchase goods. Take me there. "
Qin Yu nodded and said, "Honored guest, please follow me."
Pawnshop.
Under Qin Yu's lead, Tan Xiu arrived at the place where the Convict Arena specialized in purchasing goods. He looked straight at the attendant who came to greet him and lightly said, "Take me to your VIP lounge and inform your Auction House Master that a distinguished guest has arrived."
"Yes!"
The attendant respectfully took Tan Xiu to the VIP lounge on the second floor. Just as Tan Xiu took a seat, an old man in a cyan robe walked in with a smile. His eyes swept over the several people and immediately froze when he saw Star Tears. Then, he suppressed his surprise and came before Tan Xiu and smilingly said, "Honored Guest, are you looking for me?"
Tan Xiu waved his right hand and motioned the other party to sit down opposite him. Then, he said, "I'm going to sell an ancient immortal cultivation manual and the pill formula for refining the Primordial Chaos Dao Pill."
After saying that …
He took out the ancient manual and the pill formula from his interspatial ring and put them on the table in front of him.
The green-robed old man's expression changed. When he quickly flipped through the ancient book and the Primordial Dao Pill's pill formula, his eyes revealed a shocked expression. After a long while, he slowly said, "Esteemed customer, the two items you want to sell are truly too valuable. I don't dare to make a decision on the price, so please wait a moment. I'll inform the manager to come over. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu calmly nodded.
Soon after.
The old steward hurried over. After he checked the immortal cultivation scriptures and the pill recipes for refining the Primordial Dao Pill, he looked at Tang Xiu and said, "Fellow Immortal, do you want to sell them directly? Or do you want to exchange them for something? "
Tan Xiu thought for a while and asked, "How many Perfected Golden Immortal gladiators do you think I can exchange them for?"
The old man slightly furrowed his brows and pondered. After a long while, he slowly said, "Two Perfected Golden Immortal gladiators and 5 million Crystal Essences. What do you think? "
"Two mid-level Perfected Golden Immortal gladiators and 8 million Crystal Essences," said Tan Xiu. "If you agree, I'll give you the contents of the ancient manual and the pill formula."
"No problem."
The old man weighed it and finally nodded.
Eight hours later.
Tan Xiu appeared at the exit of the Convict Arena with Battle Peng, Star Tears, and two other mid-level Perfected Golden Immortals. He didn't rush to leave and instead waited for his four Golden Immortal subordinates to return before he asked with a faint smile, "How's the harvest?"
"It's all here, Master."
The four took out their interspatial rings and handed them to Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu's spiritual sense swept through the interspatial rings and immediately looked surprised. "You got a good harvest, huh? You actually won more than 80 million Immortal Crystals? "
The four smiled and one of them respectfully said, "We know the Convict Arena too well and have some experience in judging and choosing."
Tan Xiu faintly smiled and threw 2 million Immortal Crystals to each of them and 1 million Immortal Crystals to Battle Peng. Only then did he put away the rest and lightly said, "We've been out for some time now, so we should go back."
Having said that.
He turned to look at Qin Yu, who was standing a kilometer away like a delicate lotus. He flicked his finger and an interspatial ring fell into her hand. Immediately after, a group of nine people stepped out of the Convict Arena's gate.
Qin Yu stared blankly at the interspatial ring that appeared in her hand. When she looked up and looked in the direction of Tan Xiu again, she found that he had already disappeared. After hesitating for a while, she used her spiritual sense to look inside the interspatial ring. When she clearly saw what was inside, her delicate body slightly trembled and her eyes sparkled.
10,000 Immortal Crystals.
It was an ancient cultivation manual.
When Qin Yu took out the cultivation manual and flipped it open, a look of disbelief appeared on her beautiful face.
"An Immortal cultivation manual? An Immortal cultivation manual that can allow one to cultivate to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage? "
Qin Yu's delicate body slightly trembled and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.
She was a bit disappointed when she saw Tan Xiu for the first time. However, after just a short time together, the benefits she got were more than what she got after working here for more than a decade.
"Thank you, Benefactor."
Qin Yu raised her arm and wiped the tears on her face as she muttered to herself.
"Oh, are you very disappointed? Did you get humiliated? You're crying so sadly. Don't tell me you didn't even get an Immortal Stone as a reward for being a guide? "Wenwen strode forward with a mocking smile on her face and silently came to Qin Yu's side.
Qin Yu hurriedly put the cultivation manual into the interspatial ring and turned to look at Wenwen. "You guessed wrong. Not only did I get a reward, but it's also more than you can imagine."
After saying that …
She went straight to the gate of the Convict Arena to pay off the high-interest loan. She also made a decision at this moment to quit her job in the Convict Arena and go to the outside world to work hard, hoping that she would be qualified to see her benefactor again in the future.
Hessian Castle.
After Tan Xiu led everyone back to the Stargazing Pavilion, he went straight to the Heavenly Abode artifact with Gu Yan 'er. Looking at Gu Yan' er's strange expression, Tan Xiu slowly said, "Yan 'er, what did you find out about the three Perfected Golden Immortals I just brought back?"
Gu Yan 'er's lips squirmed a few times before she answered, "Aunt Black Face."
"You're right, it's Aunt Star Tears," said Tan Xiu bitterly. "By chance, I found Aunt Star Tears in the Perfected Golden Immortal cage in the Convict Arena of the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm. He even spent money to buy her. "
"Did you tell her your identity?" asked Gu Yan 'er hurriedly.
"No." Tan Xiu shook his head. "Not only did I not tell her my identity, but I also have her Soul Plate. I didn't even say a word to her from beginning to end. "
Gu Yan 'er's tense expression relaxed a bit and she curiously asked, "Are you afraid, Master?"
"Yeah, I'm afraid." Tan Xiu forced a smile. "I'm afraid that she'll find out my true identity if I talk to her. Yan 'er, although my previous appearance is somewhat different from my current appearance, those who are really familiar with me may be able to guess it. So … "
"Master, there are no more than 20 people in the entire Immortal World who can connect the current you with the past you." Gu Yan 'er shook her head. "Me, her, the two enemies, Grandpa and Grandma. And then there are the nine of them. "
"There are more than a dozen of them." Tan Xiu shook his head.
"Even if there are such people in the vast Immortal World, they can only guess your identity," said Gu Yan 'er. "Take Aunt Black Face for example. I just observed her, and she doesn't seem to be able to recognize your identity."
"What should I do, Yan 'er?" Tan Xiu nodded. "Should I directly return the Soul Plate to her and let her leave immediately? Or … should I hide it from her and let her stay with us? "
After thinking for a long time, Gu Yan 'er slowly said, "Grand Master, I think it's better to hide it from her and let her stay with us. After all, she's a Perfected Golden Immortal. If we return the Soul Plate to her, but she doesn't want to leave and wants to figure out your identity, it'll be troublesome. Further, Aunt Black Face is the younger sister of the Rosefinch Holy Sect's Sect Master. With such an identity, she actually fell to become a deathmatch gladiator in the Convict Arena, which means that it'll be dangerous for her to leave alone. Since you're back, then take her with you. On one hand, she can help us do things, and on the other hand, she can also ensure her safety. "
"Have you ever thought that only a few people know her identity, but our enemies know her?" Tan Xiu said. "In case …"
"Just change your appearance," said Gu Yan 'er.
Tan Xiu gave it a thought and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "It seems that it's the only way. Yan 'er, Auntie Star Tears' identity must not be revealed to anyone except the two of us and the nine of them. Also, tell the nine of them not to show any flaws in front of Auntie Star Tears. "
