Pure Yang Pill!

Why was this thing in Bai Hongxiao's hands?

Cold sweat broke out on Yi Xiaofeng's forehead.

This was a big problem!

It would not be easy to get the Pure Yang Pill from Bai Hongxiao!

"What's wrong?" Wang Yanran asked softly.

She had also seen Bai Hongxiao, but she had not noticed the Pure Yang Pill.

She had known Bai Hongxiao since childhood, but they had never been particularly close, so she did not want to disturb him.

Yi Xiaofeng shook his head and was about to leave when Bai Hongxiao called out to him.

"Boy Zhang, come here."

Hearing that, Yi Xiaofeng was not frightened. He walked over naturally.

Wang Yanran followed close behind.

When he reached the table, Yi Xiaofeng smiled and cupped his hands in salute. "May I ask what instructions you have, Senior?"

Bai Hongxiao said casually, "What were you looking at just now?"

Yi Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat.

Had Bai Hongxiao started to suspect him?

Wait!

What use was suspecting me?

I'm not a Demonic Cultivator yet!

Yi Xiaofeng immediately found his confidence and answered, "I saw that the items on this table are all extraordinary. Anything Senior Bai has displayed must be far from simple, especially this bowl. It looks damaged, but it is actually a priceless treasure."

He deliberately did not mention the Pure Yang Pill.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hongxiao put down the book in his hand and raised an eyebrow at Yi Xiaofeng.

From his expression, Yi Xiaofeng knew he had piqued his interest.

Yi Xiaofeng had seen that expression many times before.

He loved browsing antique shops and jade markets. Anyone who displayed a treasure hoped for it to be praised.

Yi Xiaofeng did not believe Bai Hongxiao had set his treasures out in the sun for no reason.

"Then guess where this bowl came from," Bai Hongxiao said.

Yi Xiaofeng stared intently at the Broken Bowl, waiting for his eyes to identify its information.

About five seconds passed.

A line of text appeared before Yi Xiaofeng's eyes:

Immortal Bowl (Damaged): A bowl used by immortals and gods, containing powerful immortal energy.

Immortal Bowl?

Yi Xiaofeng was shocked.

This was an immortal cultivation game, but why had something belonging to immortals and gods appeared so early?

Then he thought about it and realized it made sense.

Other than him, no other players could identify it.

Yi Xiaofeng pondered for a moment before saying, "This bowl is no ordinary object."

Wang Yanran could not help rolling her eyes.

First he said everything here was extraordinary, and now he said the Broken Bowl was no ordinary object.

Even though Yi Xiaofeng was her beloved, she still felt he was talking nonsense.

Bai Hongxiao narrowed his eyes. "Not an ordinary object? Then what is it? A demonic object?"

Yi Xiaofeng shook his head.

"An evil object?"

Yi Xiaofeng still shook his head.

"Then what else could it be?"

"I do not know exactly what it is, but it probably does not belong to this world."

Yi Xiaofeng smiled vaguely. He could not directly say that it was an Immortal Item.

Bai Hongxiao smiled. "You are quite remarkable. Even something that does not belong to the mortal world cannot interest you. You were looking at this medicine bottle, weren't you? You think the pill inside is an immortal pill?"

Yi Xiaofeng suddenly grew nervous.

The Sword Saint's powers of observation were terrifying.

After hesitating for a moment, Yi Xiaofeng decided to tell the truth.

In any case, the Pure Yang Pill was not some supreme treasure to Bai Hongxiao.

"This is a Pure Yang Pill. I want it. What would it take for you to part with it, Senior?" Yi Xiaofeng asked seriously.

Wang Yanran's beautiful eyes widened.

A Pure Yang Pill?

Why was it in Bai Hongxiao's hands?

The viewers erupted as well.

"The Pure Yang Pill was found already?"

"Holy crap, does Yi Xiaofeng have a script? He took one stroll and found the Pure Yang Pill?"

"I'm more curious why the Pure Yang Pill is in Bai Hongxiao's hands."

"I know! Yang Yu gave that pill to Bai Hongxiao!"

"Yang Yu? The man who said those strange things to Yi Xiaofeng earlier?"

"You don't know Yang Yu? His popularity is in the top three! You Yi-dogs and brainless fans are acting way too superior! I don't believe you've never visited Yang Yu's livestream!"

Bai Hongxiao looked at Yi Xiaofeng meaningfully. "Your knowledge exceeds your cultivation. Why do you want the Pure Yang Pill?"

Yi Xiaofeng did not know how to answer.

"He was drained of his yang energy by a demoness before. Senior Bai, please give it to him. Though I transferred my yang energy to him, what if something happens again? I have no cultivation now and cannot protect him." Wang Yanran hurriedly answered for him.

She pouted with a pitiful expression. "Senior Bai, if this really is a Pure Yang Pill, then isn't it my father's property? It should belong to me."

Yi Xiaofeng could not help giving Wang Yanran silent praise.

Although Wang Yanran did not know the truth, she was willing to fight for benefits on his behalf without condition. That was undoubtedly true love.

Bai Hongxiao shook his head. "I have never seen a Pure Yang Pill. A cultivator who came to investigate a case gave me this pill. It does indeed contain a trace of yang energy. Take it."

Wang Yanran was overjoyed. She quickly bowed to thank Bai Hongxiao, then picked up the medicine bottle.

Yi Xiaofeng bowed in thanks as well.

Then Wang Yanran pulled Yi Xiaofeng away.

Bai Hongxiao smiled, picked up his book, and continued studying it.

After leaving the courtyard where Bai Hongxiao was staying, Yi Xiaofeng was still somewhat dazed.

He had obtained the Pure Yang Pill that easily?

It seems one of the contestants obtained the Pure Yang Pill and learned part of the truth, so they handed it to Bai Hongxiao. That way, anyone tasked with protecting Wang Yanran or Tang Yiqian would fail the mission. No one could snatch anything from Bai Hongxiao.

Yi Xiaofeng silently thought, unable to stop himself from cursing.

Which bastard was that heartless?

Fortunately, Tang Yiqian was not the one with the blood of an evil demon. It was Wang Yanran.

If it had been Tang Yiqian, there would have been no way to obtain the Pure Yang Pill.

The viewers were equally excited:

"Hahaha, Yang Yu never imagined Tang Yiqian was only a decoy."

"Actually, Yang Yu guessed right. He thought Yi Xiaofeng's goal was the Pure Yang Pill and protecting Tang Yiqian, but he overlooked Wang Yanran."

"Miss Wang Yanran is so adorable. I want a wife like that too!"

"Look, women! This is what a model girlfriend is like. Whatever her beloved wants, she fights to get it!"

"A lucky mistake. Good people are rewarded."

"I've become a fan of Wang Yanran. This silly girl still has no idea she's in enormous danger."

After accepting the bottle containing the Pure Yang Pill that Wang Yanran handed him, Yi Xiaofeng took her hand and headed toward his room.

"We're not looking for clues anymore?" Wang Yanran asked doubtfully.

Without looking back, Yi Xiaofeng said, "No. We're going back to the room first."

Going back to the room?

Wang Yanran's heart began pounding again.

"In broad daylight... isn't this inappropriate?"

"It's fine."

"I..."

Yi Xiaofeng paid no attention to Wang Yanran's reaction. He had been thinking about the plot.

He kept feeling that something was wrong.

If Master Wang and City Lord Tang were both muddying the waters, then why did the Demonic Cultivators and Evil Cultivators want to kill Wang Yanran?

And who had ordered them?

Were the demonic factions fighting among themselves?

Did the Xiayang Five Ghosts truly exist?

Yi Xiaofeng felt that Bai Hongxiao's arrival had another purpose.

Soon, the two returned to the room.

Yi Xiaofeng shut the door.

Wang Yanran walked over to the bed and sat down. Her entire body was tense, her hands resting on her knees and clenched tightly.

She lowered her head, her face flushed red.

Sunlight streamed in through the window and fell over her, making her seem exceptionally captivating.

An immortal maiden of the mortal world—nothing could surpass this.

"Young Master Zhang... Husband, I'm ready..." Wang Yanran said, gathering her courage. She looked up at Yi Xiaofeng, her gaze brimming with tenderness, her eyes like water that could melt the hearts of every man in the mortal world.
