End, Murderous Intent

After the Red Lotus Seeds, Yi Yun saw nothing else that interested him at the trade fair, so he just sat there as a spectator.

However, when Su Boyang took out his belongings, several items caught Yi Yun's attention.

In particular, there is a kind of elixir called the Rejuvenation Pill.

"This elixir..."

Before the trade fair began, Yi Yun had already heard Prince Yi mention the Rejuvenation Pill. Prince Yi specifically instructed Su Boyang that if there were any Rejuvenation Pill, he should give him a few more.

At the trade fair, Su Boyang brought out the Rejuvenation Pill for sale. As soon as the pill was brought out, it was snatched up by Prince Yi and another old monster. In the end, Prince Yi won four pills, and the other old monster won two, with the price reaching seven million per pill.

This price is nothing compared to Yi Yun's Red Lotus Seeds, but it has still exceeded Yi Yun's expectations.

"So this is what they call the Rejuvenation Pill..."

Yi Yun stroked his chin, somewhat surprised.

"Sect Leader Yi, you recognize this too?" Jingyue Sha said incredulously. Even if Yi Yun was knowledgeable, it was too much of a coincidence that he recognized every single one of them.

Yi Yun smiled slightly. Part of the Medicine God's inheritance that he had inherited had been obtained by the Danxin Sect. How could he not recognize it?

This so-called "Rejuvenation Pill" is recorded in the Medicine God's Classics; it is a kind of "pseudo-life-extending" elixir.

Generally, longevity-extending elixirs, such as the Nine-Revolutions Green Wood Fruit, can add tens of thousands of years to one's lifespan, making them incredibly rare and precious Divine Treasure.

However, this Rejuvenation Pill did not have this effect; on the contrary, it was somewhat toxic. It was like a bucket of cold water, which could weaken the intensity of the Life Fire of the user.

This weakening is self-destructive for young geniuses, cutting off their path to cultivation. However, for some old monsters whose lifespans are nearing their end, their life potential has already been exhausted, making it impossible for them to break through. They are not afraid of their Life Fire being weakened; on the contrary, the weaker their Life Fire, the longer they can live.

It's like a pile of firewood; if it burns too brightly, it will quickly turn to ash, but if it burns slowly, it can burn for a long time.

"No wonder. I noticed that Prince Yi looked so lifeless, like someone with one foot in the grave. It turns out he consumed too many Rejuvenation Pills, which weakened his Life Fire and caused the death aura within him to manifest."

Thinking about all this, Yi Yun sighed, realizing how terrifying death can be.

These old folks, nearing the end of their lives, naturally knew the side effects of the Rejuvenation Pill. It weakened their Life Fire, destroyed their foundation, and even caused their strength to decline. However, it could extend their already limited lifespan by one or even two times.

Because they cherished life, they all accepted it.

"The Rejuvenation Pill is recorded in the Medicine God's manual. The Medicine God even improved the formula, making it far more effective than the original. If I were to refine it, I might even be able to replicate some of the Longevity Pill's medicinal properties. However... according to the Medicine God's manual, the Rejuvenation Pill contains a main ingredient called 'Unfading Grass,' which is extremely rare. Although its value isn't high, the Medicine God also said it's 'rarely seen.' It's strange that the Danxin Sect can sell the Rejuvenation Pill in large quantities..."

In Yi Yun's view, it is extremely difficult to replace the main ingredient in the pill formula, and it is likely that the Danxin Sect has already found a way to cultivate the Undying Grass.

It seems that the Danxin Sect has some secrets. Their lineage is certainly not limited to the Medicine God, but also includes other ancient alchemy masters.

The trade fair ended after most of the day. When Yi Yun left the venue, he and Su Boyang made eye contact. Su Boyang's expression was extremely cold. He seemed not to see Yi Yun at all and brushed past him.

At that moment, Yi Yun felt a strange sensation.

Tracking the mark!?

Yi Yun has Purple Crystal in his body, making him extremely sensitive to energy, but he did not find any tracking marks left by Su Boyang, nor did Jingyue Yin, who was not far from him, notice them.

Perhaps it's some kind of secret technique from the Dan Sect.

Even if there were any tracking or bewitching scents, Yi Yun wouldn't dare say he could definitely detect them. Back then, the Medicine God was focused on pursuing the Elixir of Eternal Life and the Elixir of Resurrection, following the path of longevity. He had absolutely no interest in these unorthodox methods.

Given the Danxin Sect's complex methods, coupled with Su Boyang's cultivation level, it's normal that he wouldn't be able to detect any tracking or bewitching fragrances immediately.

"Yi Yun, take care! Hahaha."

Prince Tianhao happened to pass by Yi Yun and made a few sarcastic remarks with a smile.

Princess Hongyi was right beside her. Although she disliked Yi Yun, she felt that Yi Yun's crime did not deserve to die.

"Serves you right for being so smug, acting like you're afraid people won't know you're rich! If I were you, I'd offer up all the Divine Treasure you stumbled upon in the ruins. Maybe that could get you a powerful expert to protect you. Then forget about the Tiannan Peak Summit and just hurry back to your little corner of Jinghai. Maybe there'll still be a way out."

Princess Hongyi spoke with sarcasm and sarcasm. Although she had a sharp tongue, she was not malicious. This was a way of indirectly pointing out a way out for Yi Yun.

"Hmph! You don't need to worry about it!"

Neither Jingyue Sha nor Princess Hongyi were easy to deal with. As soon as this nemesis appeared, Jingyue Sha confronted her again.

"Your kindness has been taken for granted. I can't stop you from living a life of your own making. Just don't blame me when you die."

After Princess Hongyi finished speaking, she turned and left.

Jingyue Sha, her beautiful eyes wide open, was still a little angry. "Master, what do we do?"

At this point, the only person Jingyue Sha could turn to for help was his master Jingyue Yin.

Even in the secluded Jinghai, Jingyue Yin was a renowned master. Although he was less prominent in the Tiannan Great World, he was still a formidable expert.

Jingyue Yin frowned slightly. If it were just Su Boyang, she wouldn't be afraid and could easily protect Yi Yun. However, the key enemy was an ancient sect with a long history, and Yi Yun's opportunity seemed to be closely related to this sect. The other party would definitely not underestimate them, which made things tricky.

It wasn't that she didn't want to protect Yi Yun, but rather that she feared she wouldn't be able to.

"Master, is there no other way?"

Jingyue Sha blinked, looking at Jingyue Yin with pleading eyes. She was anxious too, but Yi Yun was the one who caused the trouble, so what could she do? She could only rely on her master as her lifeline.

Looking at her disciple, Jingyue Yin remained silent for a moment before speaking, "It will take some time for the Danxin Sect to mobilize its troops. If we abandon the Tiannan Peak Summit, we should leave the city tonight and, with the help of my stealth techniques, reach the spatial node as quickly as possible, then traverse the void. Perhaps we have a 40-50% chance of escaping alive. If we participate in the Tiannan Peak Summit, and the experts from the Danxin Sect arrive, then we will definitely not be able to leave."

Abandoning the Tiannan Peak Summit?

Upon hearing this, Jingyue Sha was stunned.

The Tiannan Peak Summit was something she had been looking forward to. She had received an invitation to the Tiannan Peak Summit on, and she was looking forward to showing her skills and meeting heroes from all over the world. For Jingyue Sha herself, this was both a test and an opportunity!

Now that we've finally made it to Tiannan Great World, and are waiting to participate in the Tiannan Peak Summit, are you saying you're going to give up?

She knew full well that it was impossible for her to stay behind alone to attend the Tiannan Peak Summit. Once her master escorted Yi Yun away, she couldn't bear the retaliation from the Danxin Sect alone.

Thinking about this, it would be impossible for Jingyue Sha not to feel disappointed.

She was stunned for a while, imagining in her mind what would happen if she severed ties with Yi Yun. The Danxin Sect would definitely not make things difficult for them, and she could also participate in the Tiannan Peak Summit smoothly.

However, this thought made Jingyue Sha feel somewhat suffocated. First of all, she felt morally unable to accept it, and secondly, this choice seemed to make her feel an indescribable sadness.

"Yi Yun exposed the secret of the beauty elixir formula because of me; I can't abandon him."

Jingyue Sha thought to herself, gritted her teeth, and was about to say something when Ren Yunzong up, "Lord of Pure Moon Island, Sect Leader Yi, Zijian mentioned earlier that he wanted to buy a magic weapon and wanted to take a look at the magic weapon shop over there. How about we part ways for now? Or Lord of Pure Moon Island would also be interested and come with me to take a look?"

Ren Yunzong said these words with a smile. Xia Zijian was stunned for a moment. He hadn't said he wanted to buy any magic weapons. However, he quickly understood what his master meant.

This means they're going their separate ways!

Let alone giving up the Tiannan Peak Summit, even if he didn't give up the Tiannan Peak Summit, Ren Yunzong with Yi Yun when leaving the Tiannan Great World!

They are facing encirclement and suppression from the Danxin Sect, whose target is only Yi Yun. Why should they be used as shields?

Ren Yunzong has already made his meaning clear: this is Yi Yun's fault, and they don't need to be implicated.

Ren Yunzong also asked Jingyue Yin about his choice: either go to the magic item shop with him, or Yi Yun, if he was smart enough, would know that he had been abandoned and shouldn't bother going along.

The only option is to stay and protect Yi Yun, which would only show that Jingyue Yin is foolish.

Jingyue Yin was well aware of the implications. She fell silent for a moment and looked at her disciple Jingyue Sha.

"Yue Sha, do you want to go see the treasure?"

When Jingyue Yin asked this question, Jingyue Sha noticed that Xia Zijian was looking at her expectantly.

This is the choice she has to make, and her master's meaning is clear: he will follow her choice.

For a moment, Jingyue Sha was confused. She herself didn't care, but Pure Moon Island didn't belong to her alone. The key was that it would drag the other sisters on Pure Moon Island into the trap as well.

How could she be so selfish?

"Junior Sister Yue Sha, let's go see the magic treasures together. The scale of the shops in Yunze City far surpasses that of Jinghai."

Xia Zijian hesitated when he saw Jingyue Sha, then slowly walked over and spoke with a smile.

He then looked at Yi Yun and said, "I think Sect Leader Yi is not interested. Why don't you stay here and enjoy the scenery of Yunze City? We won't keep you company."

As Xia Zijian spoke, he felt a sense of vengeful satisfaction. He had previously bowed to Yi Yun without fully understanding why, which made him very uncomfortable.

Xia Zijian hadn't expected that Yi Yun would shake his head and say, "I am indeed interested, but seeing magic treasures is good, but the magic treasure shop that Junior Nephew Zijian has his eye on is far too low-level. You can tell how good a magic treasure shop is just by looking at the fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Laws around it. I don't want to go into that kind of shop. Yunze City is bustling and prosperous, and I'm planning to take a look. I heard there's a magic treasure shop in the city center called Tianyuanxuan, which only sells rare items. They only have a dozen or so magic treasures, the cheapest starting at 30 million Mid-grade Spirit Jade. But at that price, Junior Nephew Zijian, I'm afraid..."

Yi Yun stopped there, leaving Xia Zijian speechless.

He originally intended to use this opportunity to put Yi Yun down, but unexpectedly, he was met with a barrage of contempt from Yi Yun.

Is this guy crazy?!

The Danxin Sect has already come to our doorstep, a bunch of old monsters are sharpening their knives, just waiting to chop you up on the chopping block, and you still have the nerve to care about the price of some other sect's magic weapon? Thirty million, is that all?

Well... truly impressive. Thinking of his own wealth, Xia Zijian deflated. While it wouldn't be difficult for the Tianshu Gate to come up with thirty million, they wouldn't spend tens of millions on a junior like Xia Zijian. He simply couldn't afford such a magical treasure.

Xia Zijian looked at Ren Yunzong, Ren Yunzong face darkened. Had he been too tactful? Had this guy not understood? He didn't think Yi Yun was stupid; after all, he was young and had already become the sect leader, how could he not understand?

Ren Yunzong sneered and said, "Sect Leader Yi is really determined to go down this dark path. I already warned him at the trade fair that being too arrogant would have consequences, but it seems he doesn't learn his lesson. Well, growth always comes at a price, and I can't control that!"

Ren Yunzong spoke, he led the people from Tianshu Gate away.

Yi Yun also prepared to leave. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Lord of Pure Moon Island and said, "Thank you for your kindness in thinking of me, Senior Yin. I can travel alone. Farewell."

After saying that, Yi Yun turned and left. Seeing this, Jingyue Sha became anxious.

"Master, I'd like to go for a walk with Sect Leader Yi first."

Jingyue Sha didn't know what to say for a moment. She couldn't make a decision for Pure Moon Island, but she could make a decision for herself. She quickened her pace and caught up with Yi Yun.

Seeing Jingyue Sha's departing footsteps, Jingyue Yin's gaze deepened, and she sighed softly.

"Are you worried about Yue Sha?" Fairy Ping's voice transmission rang in Jingyue Sha's ear.

"I think so..." Jingyue Yin nodded. Perhaps even Jingyue Sha herself didn't realize that, without her noticing, her concern for Yi Yun had already gone beyond that of a stranger.

Perhaps right now, it's just a vague sense of affection that's hard to define, but in the future, it might slowly take root and sprout.

You shouldn't have come with me.

Yi Yun walked slowly down the streets of Yunze City and spoke quietly.

Jingyue Sha followed behind Yi Yun, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She didn't know why, but on a whim, she followed him. Perhaps it was because... she felt a pang of pity seeing Yi Yun leave alone?

This was Jingyue Sha's explanation to herself, but thinking about it, it didn't make sense. If the person who left alone just now had been someone else, like Xia Zijian, would she have followed?

Thinking about this made Jingyue Sha feel annoyed. What did that have to do with her?

She didn't know what to say to Yi Yun, she just followed behind him and looked at the young man in front of her. Yi Yun Jingyue Sha suddenly felt that his back was lonely, thin and upright.

Perhaps he never really cared about Ren Yunzong cutting ties with him...
