(4000-word chapter)
After returning from the Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet, Yi Yun stayed in City Lord Manor. Over the past few days, City Lord Manor had been bustling with visitors.
"All of you can return now."
Yi Yun waved his hand at the dozen or so young elites in front of him as he spoke nonchalantly.
Over the past few days, Yi Yun had been purging the plague. In the beginning, he treated them one by one, but later, he treated more than a dozen people. Seeing Yi Yun treat the plague as if he was sprinkling water without expending any stamina or energy, the crowd was rendered speechless. It was way too easy.
"Young Master Yi, this is a small token of appreciation from Mystic Yang Manor. Please accept it."
A green-dressed girl came to Yi Yun and bowed. On her slender arms was a wooden box. When she opened it, there was a silvery-white bone inside.
Upon seeing it, Yi Yun's brows twitched slightly. "This is the spine of a Jade Water Snake?"
Yi Yun was now well-versed in the divine alchemist's notes, so he was very knowledgeable. He could tell the origins of the white bone at a glance. As long as he processed it with a Desolate Heaven technique mystic technique, he could refine a supreme-grade relic that could consolidate one's foundation — Jade Water Glass.
"Young Master Yi, you sure are knowledgeable. This is the spine of a Jade Water Snake! Young Master Yi, I'm impressed that you were able to recognize it at a glance. "
Yi Yun shook his head and said, "It's no big deal. You used Heavy Water Wood to make the box. I already had some guesses. The Jade Water Snake's bone contains water-elemental essence. If it wasn't a box made of Heavy Water Wood, the essence would be lost."
"Young Master Yi, you are right. My Mystic Yang Manor has kept this bone for many years. Giving it to Young Master Yi is the best way to make use of it. Young Master Yi, you have removed the plague from all the juniors of my Mystic Yang Manor. The Manor Lord has specially instructed me to hand this spine to you. Please accept it."
The green-dressed girl's voice was soft and velvety. It made one's bones go limp when they heard it.
"Then, thank you, Mystic Yang Manor Lord."
Yi Yun did not stand on ceremony. It was normal to receive some benefits for treating others.
When he took the jade box, he felt his palm itch. He looked at the green-clothed woman in surprise. The green-clothed woman stretched out her slender fingers and gently scratched his palm.
Noticing Yi Yun looking over, the green-dressed girl blushed slightly. She whispered, "I'm Xuan Shui 'er, a disciple of the Mystic Yang Manor. If Young Master Yi has the time, you can visit the Mystic Yang Manor."
With that, the green-clothed girl hurriedly got up and ran away.
Yi Yun was left stunned for a while. This girl was too bold.
Just then, a burst of laughter came, "Young Master Yi is really lucky, even Xuan Shui 'er came to your arms."
Upon hearing the voice, Yi Yun turned around and saw Princess White Fox and Fairy Youqin walking over.
Over the past few days, Perfected Qianhua had made Fairy Youqin stay in City Lord Manor. She became familiar with Yi Yun and the person who spoke was none other than Fairy Youqin.
"What? Are you very close to Xuan Shui'er? "
"I'm not familiar with him. I just know him. Didn't Young Master Yi save Dong Xiaowan previously? Some busybody made a list of the elite women of Myriad City. Dong Xiaowan is ranked nineteenth, right? And this Xuan Shui'er's background far surpasses Dong Xiaowan's. Therefore, her ranking is extremely high. I think she's either fourth or fifth. That's quite impressive. Not to mention Xuan Shui 'er, a few of my close friends also want to ask me to introduce them to Young Master Yi. "
As Fairy Youqin spoke, a faint smile suffused across her picturesque face. Now, Yi Yun was like the sun at high noon in Myriad City. He was a top expert that could one day surpass a Divine Lord. In addition to his superb alchemical skills, he was bound to become an alchemist sage. Any one of these qualities made the various major factions drool with envy.
If they could form even the slightest relationship with Yi Yun, it would be infinitely beneficial.
Of course, to girls, Yi Yun was the perfect Mr. Right. Many of them were willing to be Yi Yun's concubine.
"Yi Yun, Uncle Qin wanted me to hand this to you."
Princess White Fox did not wish for Fairy Youqin to tease Yi Yun any further. She handed a jade box to Yi Yun and said, "This was obtained from the Myriad Immortal Pavilion's treasury."
Over the past few days, the Myriad Immortal Pavilion had been destroyed. When a tree falls, monkeys scatter. Large numbers of Myriad Immortal Pavilion disciples sought refuge with other sects or split up to form small factions. Qin Zhengyang and company had obtained an incalculable amount of wealth from the Myriad Immortal Pavilion's treasury.
Yi Yun was not interested in the wealth, cultivation techniques, or treasures, so they were naturally split among the other factions. As for the top treasures, especially treasures that could enhance one's cultivation level, they were all given to Yi Yun by Qin Zhengyang.
Although such treasures were good, Qin Zhengyang's martial cultivation level had already reached the limits of his life. It was impossible for him to raise it any further. Giving them to Yi Yun was the best use.
"City Lord Qin, you sure are polite. This is more than twenty boxes. Every time you give me something, they are all treasures."
Yi Yun guessed that Qin Zhengyang had given him most of the top treasures of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion.
Although these items were only a tiny portion of the wealth that the Myriad Immortal Pavilion possessed, they were of the greatest use to Yi Yun.
Yi Yun did not stand on ceremony as he accepted the jade box. He knew that City Lord Qin had left behind many cultivation techniques, enchanted treasures, and a number of pills during the siege of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. Many of these items were useless to City Lord Qin and were used to reward juniors.
It was likely that City Lord Qin was establishing his own faction.
Before this, Myriad City's City Lord was not allowed to have his own faction. But this time, with City Lord Qin's prestige and Yi Yun's invisible support, it was not impossible for him to establish a faction. Yi Yun was very willing to see this happen.
"Young Master Yi, after the destruction of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion, the Guiyuan family and the Paradise Chapter have become new powerhouses. Now, the shops in the core areas of Myriad City have been redistributed. My master has specially reserved the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic, hoping to give it to Young Master Yi. It will be your property."
Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic?
Yi Yun was taken aback. He subconsciously wanted to reject it. After all, he would eventually leave the Myriad Divine Territory. A shop in a luxurious area was of little use to him.
However, on second thought, Yi Yun changed his mind. He said, "Thank you, Fairy Youqin. I'll be taking this shop."
As Yi Yun spoke, he extended his hand and beckoned. A tiny pagoda appeared out of thin air and spun in midair. It was none other than the God Advent Tower.
"Ru'er, Xiaowan, come out."
As he spoke, Ru'er and Dong Xiaowan were transported out of the God Advent Tower. Yi Yun had already obtained all the ingredients needed to refine the Hollow Soul Pill. He no longer needed Ru'er and Dong Xiaowan to take care of Ling Xie'er. However, he still needed to give the two girls a good home.
"Ru'er, Xiaowan, I have a shop. Help me manage it. If I ever come to Myriad City in the future, I will come back to take a look."
Having his own territory in Myriad City was not a bad thing. Furthermore, the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic was very lucrative.
"Ah? A shop? "
Ru'er and Dong Xiaowan were completely unaware of what had happened in Myriad City. They had blank looks on their faces. From what they remembered, Yi Yun was still being pursued by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion.
"Young Master, this is …"
When Dong Xiaowan saw Fairy Youqin and Princess White Fox, she was extremely alarmed. Could this be Myriad City?
"Follow me."
As Yi Yun spoke, he led Dong Xiaowan and Ru'er out of City Lord Manor.
When the two girls saw that they had come out of City Lord Manor without any disguises, they were somewhat taken aback. Had the Myriad Immortal Pavilion stopped pursuing Yi Yun?
However, many of the passersby recognized Yi Yun. Not only did no one inform the Myriad Immortal Pavilion, they even treated Yi Yun with extreme respect.
This puzzled Dong Xiaowan and Ru'er. What had happened in the short span of a few months?
"The Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic is up ahead."
Fairy Youqin said with a chuckle. They were already in a bustling area of Myriad City.
The majestic Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic stood tall in the core of Myriad City. However, the signboard of the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic had been removed and replaced with Yi Yun's' Yun Xin Loft '!
Upon seeing the words' Yun Xin Loft 'hung there, Yi Yun felt mixed emotions. Back when Ling Xie'er's soul suddenly deteriorated and she was in dire need of a Soul Restoring Relic, Yi Yun had borrowed eight hundred million Myriad Runes from City Lord Qin to buy medicine from the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic. However, he was extorted by Huyan Cang and Zuoqiu Haoyu and made things difficult for him. Finally, Yi Yun had no choice but to leave. He had expended half of the Soul Returning Root to save Ling Xie'er.
But now, Yi Yun had returned to Myriad City as the new owner of the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic.
The changes in the world truly made one sigh.
Fairy Youqin clearly knew of Yi Yun's experiences at the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic. She said softly, "Young Master Yi, as a member of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion, Zuoqiu Bo has been dealt with. As for Huyan Cang, he was originally very close to the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. Now that the Myriad Immortal Pavilion has been destroyed, he has long surrendered. However, due to his relationship with you, my master is worried about him. Therefore, he signed a slave contract. This is a master contract. As long as Young Master Yi refines the master contract, Huyan Cang will be loyal to Young Master Yi for a period of a hundred thousand years."
"Young Master Yi, you can order him about at will. He will serve the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic — oh, no, Yun Xin Loft."
As she spoke, Fairy Youqin shouted, "Huyan Cang, come out."
Just as her voice faded, a reverent Huyan Cang hurriedly ran out and bowed at Yi Yun. "Greetings, Young Master Yi. I'm Huyan Cang."
Typical warriors would rather die than sign a slave contract. However, Huyan Cang was no ordinary warrior. He was a person who was afraid of death and only coveted riches.
Being alive was better than being dead. At the very least, he could still be an alchemist of Yun Xin Loft. Furthermore, with the contract lasting a hundred thousand years, Huyan Cang still had some lifespan left. After that, he could regain his freedom.
"A hundred thousand years is truly a long time."
Yi Yun secretly clicked his tongue. To a warrior like him, who had cultivated for less than a hundred years, a hundred thousand years was obviously long. However, to many old freaks, a hundred thousand years of punishment was not considered long. It was truly difficult for the old fellow.
Yi Yun took the master contract from Fairy Youqin and casually handed it to Ru'er. He said, "Ru'er, refine this master contract. From this day forth, you and Xiaowan will take care of Yun Xin Loft. I'll come back to take a look."
"Wh … What?"
Dong Xiaowan and Ru'er widened their eyes. When they saw Huyan Cang run out and bow to Yi Yun, even addressing himself as an old slave, the two girls were so astonished that they could not close their mouths.
Now, they knew that the store Yi Yun had promised them to manage was the best store in Myriad City, Yun Xin Loft. It even had an alchemy master from back then as a servant. Furthermore, the owner was Ru'er herself. This completely upended their worldview.
"Young Master, what's going on?"
"That's right, Young Master. How are we to manage such a huge store like Yun Xin Loft well if you hand it to us?"
The two girls were somewhat flustered.
However, Yi Yun thought nothing of it. He said, "Just manage the store as you wish. If there are any difficulties, you can seek City Lord Qin's help. As for what you want to know about the past few days, it's actually because the Myriad Immortal Pavilion has been destroyed. Now, the powers in Myriad City have been reshuffled. The Heaven Bestowing Clinic originally belonged to the Guiyuan family and the Paradise Chapter, but it was given to me."
Yi Yun casually explained the situation. Ru'er and Dong Xiaowan were left dumbfounded by what they heard. They were not stupid. They knew the value of the Heaven Bestowing Clinic. For Yi Yun to obtain the Heaven Bestowing Clinic, it meant that he had played an extremely important role in the destruction of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. If not, he would not have received such a reward.
It was unbelievable. The Myriad Immortal Pavilion was the overlord of the Myriad Divine Territory. In the eyes of the two girls, it was a behemoth. A few months ago, Yi Yun was being pursued by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion with a bounty on his head. Now, the Myriad Immortal Pavilion had been destroyed …
"Young Master Yi, you sure have great foresight. To leave such a store to Sister Xiaowan and Sister Ru'er. You two sure are lucky. If you have any difficulties in managing the store, not only can you seek City Lord Qin, you can also seek help from our Paradise Chapter. "
Fairy Youqin said sincerely. She knew that there were countless socialites in Myriad City who wished to befriend Yi Yun. Many of them were more outstanding than Dong Xiaowan and Ru'er, but none of them had the chance.
The two girls sure had good luck. Although they were only helping Yi Yun manage Yun Xin Loft, with most of the income still going to Yi Yun, with their positions and Yi Yun backing them, their status in Myriad City would definitely rise. They would enter the upper echelons of Myriad City. It was truly a case of sparrows transforming into phoenixes.
Ru'er and Dong Xiaowan also knew that Yi Yun's ambitions were not with the Myriad Divine Territory. With that said, Ru'er refined Huyan Cang's master contract.
Upon seeing this scene, Huyan Cang's face looked like a beaten eggplant. He could ignore being Yi Yun's slave. After all, Yi Yun could break through to the Divine Lord realm and become an alchemist sage in the future. It would not be embarrassing. However, Yi Yun did not even want him. He had casually given it to the maidservant beside him.
It was obvious how depressed Huyan Cang felt when he thought of how he would be a slave for the next hundred thousand years.
In the next ten days, the Myriad Divine Territory was reestablished. Yun Xin Loft reopened for business and Yi Yun casually refined a few cauldrons of pills. On the day of the reopening, the doors nearly burst open from the crowd.
Ignoring the pills that Yi Yun refined, even ordinary pills would be bought by people. There was no other reason than Yi Yun's reputation.
Ru'er and Dong Xiaowan were busy, but at that moment, Yi Yun was bidding farewell to City Lord Qin, Princess White Fox, and company.
He did not plan on leaving the Myriad Divine Territory, but he wanted to enter a long seclusion. During this seclusion, he wanted to refine the Hollow Soul Pill to save Ling Xie'er.
Once Ling Xie'er woke up, the Heretical God Fire Seed would have a spirit. Yi Yun's combat strength and alchemical skills would improve further.
