In the silent void.
Ye Chen squinted at Yang Tian and said in a deep voice, "You said that you saw a fragment of the Five Elements Heavenly Lotus in the hands of the merfolk patriarch?"
He was determined to obtain the Five Elements Heavenly Lotus!
Unfortunately, even though he had obtained a fragment from the space trade fair, he was still unable to reveal the whereabouts of the Five Elements Heavenly Lotus.
Unexpectedly, Yang Tian had just told him that the merfolk patriarch also had a fragment of the Five Elements Heavenly Lotus in his hands.
"That's right!"
Meeting his gaze, Yang Tian nodded and said, "Unfortunately, I didn't know what it was back then. I only found out that it was a fragment of a holy artifact at the space trade fair earlier."
Ye Chen said with a faint smile, "Even if it's in the hands of the merfolk patriarch, I'm afraid he won't give it up so easily."
"That might not be the case!"
Yang Tian chuckled, "The merfolk patriarch thinks highly of me. Moreover, the merfolk are ruled by women, and my wife is deeply favored by the old lady. If the old lady intercedes, I'm afraid this matter can be settled. However, you'll have to pay a price."
"Of course."
Ye Chen nodded and smiled. If it were anyone else, he could have snatched it. However, the merfolk were different from other forces. The former had a relationship with Yang Tian.
Yang Tian waved his hand and settled the matter, "After the Desolate God's Tomb ends, come with me to the merfolk!"
…
An hour later, in an extremely luxurious and retro courtyard in Tianyuan City.
While Yang Tian was combing Yang Hao's body, Ye Chen looked at Song Qiye and said while frowning, "Is the patriarch not back yet?"
"No!"
Song Qiye said with an unnatural expression, "Master, you know the patriarch's personality. He's always unpredictable. If he's unwilling to return, it'll be as difficult as ascending to heaven to find him."
Ye Chen frowned and could only order, "Wait for the patriarch here. I have something to do. If the patriarch returns, tell him not to run around anymore!"
With that, he walked out of the courtyard.
…
On Tian Yuan City's Western City's Miscellaneous Goods Street, numerous densely packed shops occupied both sides of the street. At the end of the street, there was a huge open-air plaza. At this moment, there were countless vendors hawking their wares to each other in a circle.
This was the uniqueness of Tianyuan City. Anyone could set up a stall in a designated place in the city as long as they paid a certain amount of entrance tax and land tax. Therefore, it could be said that the business of the entire Yinxu gathered here.
Ye Chen walked on the street and glanced at the shops. He would stop in his tracks from time to time and leave while shaking his head.
Even now, he was still wondering if he could find anything related to the Five Luminaries Heaven Lotus in this huge commercial city, such as the tortoiseshell fragment.
Ye Chen stopped when he arrived at the eighth shop. Then, he lifted his feet and walked in while pondering.
At that moment, a middle-aged man quickly walked out and said with an unapproachable attitude, "Fellow Daoist, your treasure house isn't open to the public today. Please come back another day."
Ye Chen glanced at the words' Treasure House 'on the shop's plaque. He could vaguely feel a faint pressure lingering in the shop. However, there was a protective layer that could block Divine Consciousness outside the shop.
Thinking to this point, his eyes flickered a few times before he resolutely turned around and walked down the street.
"Steward Wu, what happened?"
At this moment, a clear and melodious voice that sounded like a silver bell came from the shop. Then, a young woman in a bright and graceful dress walked out of the shop.
A faint fragrance wafted through the air.
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice. He turned around and looked over. Surprise flashed through the depths of his eyes.
At the same time, the lady in red seemed to have noticed Ye Chen as well. A hint of shock appeared on her exquisite face, which subsequently turned into surprise.
"Young mistress, this person seems to want to buy something!"
Steward Wu clasped his fists and pointed at Ye Chen. He said respectfully, "Considering that young mistress doesn't like to be disturbed, I persuaded her to leave …"
Before he was done speaking, he saw the young mistress that he was talking about take a few steps forward quickly and walk to the young man. She smiled in surprise, "Senior Ye, I can't believe we meet again!"
At that moment, Manager Wu's figure instantly stiffened, and he stood on the spot without moving as if he'd heard something unbelievable.
Ye Chen said with a smile when he met the lady's gaze, "Why are you here, Young Mistress Fang?"
The lady in red standing before him at that moment was none other than Fang Ziyue whom he had met in the Martial God Tomb previously.
Even Ye Chen did not expect to meet her here!
Seemingly sensing Ye Chen's suspicion, Fang Ziyue pursed her red lips and said while smiling, "Senior Ye, you might not know this, but this Treasure House belongs to the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. I'm currently managing it."
She was afraid that Ye Chen would not believe her as she spoke to this point, so she added, "I usually let Steward Wu take care of it. It's just a routine check today."
"I see!" Ye Chen nodded lightly.
Fang Ziyue covered her mouth and giggled after taking a good look at Ye Chen with her beautiful eyes. "It's all thanks to Senior Ye for what happened last time. I haven't had the chance to thank you properly. Why don't you come in?"
"Sure!"
Ye Chen agreed while smiling. He was reluctant to talk to Fang Ziyue in the beginning. However, since they met again, he could only let nature take its course.
"Senior Ye, please!"
Fang Ziyue lifted her hand and gestured for Ye Chen to enter.
Ye Chen walked into the store calmly. Meanwhile, Fang Ziyue turned her head to look at Steward Wu who was standing still before her. "You can get a Nascent Formation Pill from the Contribution Hall!"
Steward Wu was stunned at first when he heard that. Then, his body shook intensely. He was over the moon. "Thank you, young mistress!"
As the name suggested, the Nascent Formation Pill would dissolve the Nascent Soul and refine the Nascent Soul's essence into a primordial spirit. When the primordial spirit was formed, it would be the sign of one stepping into God Transformation.
He had been stuck at perfect-stage Nascent Soul for hundreds of years. He had less than 200 years left in his lifespan. How could he not be excited now that he was given a Nascent Formation Pill?
…
The fragrance of tea filled the air in the Treasure Closing House.
Fang Ziyue, who had changed into a long purple dress with tassels, sat across Ye Chen. She squinted her beautiful eyes lightly. "I wonder when did you come to Tianyuan City, Senior? Why didn't you come to the City Governor's Residence to look for me? Did you forget about my kindness two days ago?"
"I was busy with chores, so I couldn't leave."
Ye Chen took a sip of the spiritual tea in the cup. As soon as the tea entered his stomach, it turned into an extremely pure fire spiritual power that spread through his limbs and bones.
He could not help but compliment, "Great tea. If I'm not mistaken, this tea must be expensive. Even God Transformation cultivators can't taste it."
