The excellent Ravenjade Shangjing Tea was served. Nanxuan Jue invited Yi Yun to sit in the seat of honor right in the middle. The masked elder followed closely behind Nanxuan Jue and sat down. He was also very ashamed to meet Yi Yun. He cupped his fists and said, "I was blind. Please forgive me for my disrespectful words."
Yi Yun said, "Senior, you are being too serious. If I were in your shoes, I would also be suspicious if an unknown person gave me a drop of blood and asked me to refine it. It's only human nature."
In fact, Yi Yun had never refuted the masked elder's words of distrust. He did not feel displeased either because it was only natural. Why would the masked elder trust him?
However, Yi Yun believed in Nanxuan Luoyue. She definitely sensed something from the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's blood. If she did not believe her own judgment when the opportunity was right in front of her, her future achievements would probably be limited.
Nanxuan Changyue brewed the Ravenjade Shangjing Tea personally. He did not even use a maidservant. However, Nanxuan Jue did not even need Nanxuan Changyue to pour the tea. Instead, he got Nanxuan Luoyue to take the teapot and slowly pour a cup of tea.
"Luoyue, here is a cup of tea for you. Might I know your name?"
Nanxuan Luoyue was toasting Yi Yun as a form of gratitude. Since she was so sincere, Yi Yun did not wish to use a fake name to deceive her. Furthermore, Yi Yun would have to use his real name in the ancient battlefield. If not, how was he to leave his name on the Ancient Ruins world's World Monolith?
"Miss Luoyue, due to certain reasons, my name will not be mentioned for the time being. You helped me first, so it's only reasonable for me to repay you. There's no need to deliberately thank me. I came to disturb you because I want to buy that ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit."
Nanxuan Jue said, "Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. How can we sell that ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit? It's only right that we give it to you."
As Nanxuan Jue spoke, he glanced at Nanxuan Changyue. "What are you waiting for? Quickly get the herb."
"Yes." Nanxuan Changyue wanted to slap himself. He really had nothing better to do. If he had known, he would have taken out the herb a long time ago. He had made things difficult for Yi Yun, only to end up making things difficult for himself.
Nanxuan Changyue was in charge of all the trivial matters in Nanxuan Manor. He was also in charge of the spirit herb storeroom. Moments later, he brought the ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit over. He no longer dared to shirk his responsibilities.
Nanxuan Changyue carefully opened the ancient jade box and placed it on the table.
Yi Yun looked at the thumb-sized tree root in the jade box and revealed a look of delight. It was indeed a ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit, and it was of excellent quality. A typical ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit was the size of a pinky finger, but this one was much thicker.
Nanxuan Jue pushed the jade box to Yi Yun and said, "I heard that you need another two spirit herbs. Although my Nanxuan family does not have them, we can help you find them if you need them."
"This …"
Yi Yun paused for a moment. In fact, from his point of view, although the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's blood was precious, it was far inferior to the ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit.
He could ignore the fact that Nanxuan Jue had given him the ten-thousand-year-old Lunar Wood Spirit for free. Now, he was even helping him find the other two spirit herbs. From the looks of it, he had underestimated the effects of the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm's blood on Nanxuan Luoyue.
"Fellow Daoist, please do not reject it. In fact, I have some selfish motives …"
Nanxuan Jue said with some difficulty. Yi Yun had already expected it. He said, "You wish to ask for a few more drops of blood?"
Nanxuan Jue's eyes lit up. "Fellow Daoist, you have more?"
"Indeed I do, but not much," said Yi Yun with reservations.
"Yes, I do want more. Furthermore, I would like to know the exact problem with Luoyue's physique."
Nanxuan Jue had already said the last sentence with a Yuan Qi voice transmission.
Luoyue's body and talent were not a problem. It was just that her physique was very different from ordinary people.
"There are many things that I cannot be certain of," said Yi Yun. "However, if it's only blood, I can give you a few drops. However, I hope that Senior Nanxuan can keep the blood a secret. Do not tell others."
Yi Yun said the second half of his sentence with a Yuan Qi voice transmission. His blood came from the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm and the Martial Numinous clan already knew that he had it. Although it was unlikely that others would know that the blood came from the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm, Yi Yun still wanted to be safe.
Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Nanxuan Jue was pleasantly surprised. "Of course! Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you have any other requests other than a few more spirit herbs? The Nanxuan family clan will definitely spare no effort to fulfill them. "
Yi Yun said, "There is indeed something that I might have to trouble Senior Nanxuan with. I wish to enter the Ancient Ruins world's ancient battlefield in a year's time. I wonder if you have a spot?"
"About that …" Nanxuan Jue was taken aback. Immediately, he said, "My Nanxuan family does indeed have a spot to enter the Ancient Ruins world's ancient battlefield. However, the spot was bestowed by the White Lunar Divine Empire, so it's not easy to transfer it. If you really wish to enter the Ancient Ruins world's ancient battlefield, I will have to trouble you to establish some ties with my Nanxuan family clan. If you are willing to accept it, I am willing to invite you to become an honorary Elder of my Nanxuan family clan. You will not need to do anything and the Nanxuan family clan will not restrict your movements. On the contrary, you will be given a salary. However, I believe you will not think much of that salary. But if you need any natural treasures or information, you can use my Nanxuan family clan's power. If you need weapons, you will have priority to purchase them. I'm not talented but I know a thing or two about artifact refinement.
When Nanxuan Jue said that, the woman and the Daoist priest stared straight at him. Was there such a good thing in the world? As a guest Elder, he did not need to do anything and all he received was benefits. Thinking back to how they had waited years for Nanxuan Jue to forge a weapon for them while Nanxuan Jue could customize a weapon for them, the difference was like night and day.
The woman felt displeased. She had just said that it was impossible for Yi Yun to obtain a spot to enter the Ancient Ruins world's ancient battlefield at his age. Yet, in a blink of an eye, Nanxuan Jue had come knocking on her door. It left her speechless.
Yi Yun stroked his chin. Although he did not wish to join any faction, Nanxuan Jue's conditions were just too polite. It made it difficult for Yi Yun to reject him. Furthermore, Yi Yun was bent on obtaining a spot to enter the Ancient Ruins world's ancient battlefield.
"In that case, I'll gladly accept it."
"Alright, it's settled then," said Nanxuan Jue with a smile. He did not think highly of Yi Yun's future achievements in martial arts. He only wanted to repay Yi Yun for the blood drop he had given him.
Nanxuan Jue turned to the Daoist priest and woman in the room and said, "I have some matters to attend to today, so I'll temporarily stop the refinement of the weapon. I'll take note of the weapons you need. The next time I have something, I'll definitely sell it to you first."
The Daoist priest and woman could tell from Nanxuan Jue's words that he was ordering them to leave.
It was likely that Nanxuan Jue had something to discuss with the scholar but he did not wish for them to hear it.
Thinking back to the supreme-grade materials that Nanxuan Jue had refined in the refinement lab, the Daoist priest and woman felt their hearts ache. The longer he stopped, the worse the quality of the refined weapon would be. However, Nanxuan Jue thought nothing of it.
"Thank you, Senior Nanxuan. We shall bid you farewell." What else could the middle-aged Daoist priest say? All he could do was leave Nanxuan Manor.
