Their hands touched briefly before parting. Upon hearing the young man's name, Shisui had already guessed his identity.

He tentatively began, "Hello, Mr. Bo."

His Shisui expression was quite ordinary, no different from that of a normal person when greeting someone.

Bo Xiwan noticed that he had mispronounced his surname and gently reminded him.

"No, no, no, my surname is Bo Xi."

Upon hearing Shisui, Zi Sui thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

The renowned Bo Xi Family of the Ringwater Continent's Wu City, whose members are all highly skilled and adept at business, has become a commercial behemoth dominating Ringwater Continent in just a few decades.

The family crest resembles flowing water or rising clouds, signifying a staunch supporter of the Aristocratic Faction.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bo Xi."

"It's alright, my surname is quite rare, it's normal to be mispronounced, I don't mind."

"May I ask your name, young man?"

Yue Jian.

Shisui it out naturally, as if he had said it countless times before.

No, he has said that name countless times.

That's why he could recite the name without hesitation, without anyone suspecting it was a fake.

However, it's not "Yue Jian" but "Yuesian".

Shisui Sui spoke with Bo Xiwan with a normal expression, even a faint smile on his lips.

Judging from his demeanor, there was no indication that his thoughts had long since sunk into his memories.

Yuejian was Shisui's surname in his previous life.

Although he didn't care what his surname was, it was still somewhat special to Shisui.

In his previous life, this was his last connection with his biological parents, and also the mark and shackles that this Ghoul couple had given him.

He got used to living with it.

After all, it was his parents who gave him life and shaped his personality.

They even sacrificed themselves in the end, briefly satiating him as he succumbed to ravenous hunger.

Even though he was forced into it, he was still grateful to the insane Ghoul couple.

After all, without their "careful guidance," Tsukimi Shisui in his previous life might have died young in childhood.

"Mr. Yue Jian, regarding your salary, I can offer you one hundred top-grade spirit pills per day Wealth-Bringing Caravan."

Realizing the probe and pleasantries were over, Shisui instantly pulled himself back to reality.

He spoke fluently and began to bargain.

"Boss Bo Xi, although I've just been promoted, I'm still a Profound Realm."

You don't need to make that kind of joke.

One top-grade elixir is roughly equivalent to one hundred high-grade elixir, one high-grade elixir is roughly equivalent to one hundred medium-grade elixir, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that inferior products, which do not even qualify as low-grade elixirs, are not available on the market.

If calculated using the Flesh Crystals, a top-grade elixir is equivalent to the Psychic Energy within the body of an ordinary Eighth Realm Yellow Realm cultivator.

But elixirs and flesh—and -Flesh Crystals are different.

Elixirs are made from various precious medicinal herbs used to store Psychic Energy, effectively enhancing the user's efficiency in absorbing Psychic Energy.

The higher the grade of the elixir, the rarer the ingredients, the more significant the improvement, and the higher the Psychic Energy content within the elixir.

Before reaching the Heaven Realm, the elixir was effective for most creatures, the only difference being the degree of its effect.

Unfortunately, with current elixir-making technology, storing Psychic Energy at the level of the Yellow Realm Eighth Realm is already considered a top-tier elixir.

The extraction of Flesh Crystals is not dependent on materials; the upper limit is increased based on the advancement of the Shisui realm.

Therefore, for Shisui, the Flesh Crystals is his most important reserve of Psychic Energy in the future, and there is no other way.

Let's return to the Wealth-Bringing Trading Company.

One hundred top-grade elixirs a day is a decent price, but it's still significantly lower than the other two companies.

He didn't believe Bo Xiwan was unaware of the other two bids.

"Mr. Yue Jian, please be patient. In addition, you can also select five kilograms of rare metals containing Psychic Energy each month."

Bo Xiwan's eyes gleamed with a confident smile. "The other two companies can't offer this price."

Ha, sure enough, you've thoroughly penetrated the other two competitors.

However, since it contains rare metals with Psychic Energy, this guy probably owns a mine.

Seeing his smug expression, Shisui simply nodded slightly, going along with his wishes.

"Boss Bo Xi's offer is indeed the highest in the vicinity."

"Then, it'll be a pleasure doing business with you?"

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

The two quickly reached an agreement, putting away their innermost thoughts and offering polite smiles.

As for what they were really planning behind the scenes, only the two of them probably know the truth.

After confirming that the Caravan would depart the next day, Shisui got up to prepare for his departure.

Seeing this, Bo Xiwan also got up to see him off.

Just as they reached the door, someone came in from outside.

The newcomer was quite tall, with reddish-brown hair like congealed blood, and his muscular build looked full of explosive power.

He first glanced at Shisui subtly, and then nodded to Bo Xiwan.

"Boss."

"Hmm." Bo Xiwan simply responded with a flat "hmm," and then followed Shisui out the door.

Who was that just now?

"Your colleague, just like you, is at the early First Realm the Profound Realm."

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Shisui narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing the unknown man.

"Sister Hongyan, can you still hold on? Should you take a break?"

"I'm fine. We're not far from here. I can hold on."

As evening fell, the setting sun cast its light on the blood-red Cedar Forest, where a man and a woman were helping each other along the way.

They were soaking wet, their clothes and bodies covered in a mixture of filth and bloodstains, and upon closer inspection, they all appeared to have sustained serious injuries.

These two people were Song Haomiao and Jiang Hongyan.

They were injured during their first game and were transferred to a nearby medical center for treatment.

Therefore, they were lucky enough to escape the raid by "Lin Shunan" in the contestants' waiting area, becoming one of only two survivors among the contestants.

They had just finished treatment and their injuries had not yet fully healed when the unrest began.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the two made a quick decision to evacuate.

Furthermore, ensuring one's own safety is the most important thing.

The city gates of Qiongfang City were one of the epicenters of the battle, so naturally they couldn't leave through the city gates.

Therefore, the Wunu River, with its turbulent undercurrents, became the best choice at the time.

That's why, at this moment, both of them looked like weeds just pulled ashore, disheveled and damp.

Because they had just pulled themselves out of the rushing river.

The two staggered closer and closer to the city gate of Chen City.

Unfortunately, they ran into Zi Sui, who was strolling along the Wunu River, bored and starting to kill Shisui.

Oh dear, look what I've encountered!

It turned out to be a lost, soaking wet chick!

Shisui watched them with interest; having nothing better to do, he wanted to find some amusement.

"Hi!"

Shisui lightly leaped down from the treetop and suddenly appeared not far in front of the two.

"Who!"

Scorching flames rose, and the two Human Race brats instantly bristled, each unleashing their innate abilities.

They were teammates during the competition, and their talents both belonged to the fire element, coupled with their days of teamwork.

With the support of various forces, Song Haomiao and Jiang Hongyan, despite their injuries, still unleashed attacks comparable to those of the Fifth Realm of the Yellow Realm.

But what's the point?

In the end, it was nothing more than a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
