After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 471 Cooperation
The sounds from the restaurant drowned out the music that filled the air, causing the mist around the women to tremble and surge.

At this moment, the women wearing thin veils stopped playing their instruments and then lined up on both sides amidst the clouds and mist.

The sounds of zithers and lutes around them abruptly ceased, while at the same time, the tinkling of jade pendants rose from behind the misty clouds.

The next moment, a cloud palanquin adorned with jade bells and golden beads appeared out of thin air, emerging from the center of the clouds where a group of women were waiting.

The silver curtains of the cloud-borne sedan chair lifted automatically without any wind, and a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a golden jade robe stepped out.

The woman was beautiful and graceful, with gentle, watery eyes. Just by slowly raising her gaze and looking into the restaurant, she made all the martial arts practitioners in the restaurant instantly lose their minds and become dazed.

“Ancestor Di Yin, I never thought you would actually emerge from that abyss of ten thousand caves.”

The woman spoke softly, her voice gentle and soothing, like a spring breeze.

When these words reached the ears of the martial arts practitioners in the restaurant, they only made the already dazed crowd even more confused and lost.

"Alright, if you're interested, you can come upstairs with me to discuss this. There's no need to tease these younger generation martial artists!"

The sound from the restaurant came again, like a great bell ringing in the ears of everyone in the restaurant, gradually bringing the dazed crowd back to their senses.

However, when the martial arts figures in the restaurant regained their senses, they found that the scene in front of the restaurant had returned to normal at some point.

Neither the clouds that had suddenly risen nor the group of women in veils embracing musical instruments had been seen.

The area outside the restaurant was deserted, as if everything they had just seen had never happened, as if they had just had a dream.

Meanwhile, in a private room upstairs in the restaurant, Fairy Baiyun from Banyun City gracefully walked to the opposite side of a pale-skinned, silver-haired, plump old man, and then slowly sat down at the table.

"You've also come for that young man from the Jiang family?"

Fairy Baiyun parted her red lips slightly, her phoenix eyes scrutinizing the Earthly Ancestor from Qiu City, one of the six major powers in the Western Desert.

The Earthly Ancestor has been cultivating a divine martial art of earth veins for many years and has lived in a place called Wanku Shayuan in Qiu City for a long time. He hardly interferes in anything in Qiu City, but he is a person known to everyone in Qiu City.

Because the Earth-Guiding Ancestor used his divine powers to almost control the earth veins of the entire Qiu City, the survival of Qiu City was entirely in his hands.

At this moment, when faced with the question from Fairy Baiyun, the Earthly Ancestor also glanced at her and said:
"You have indeed obtained the last 'Beauty Pill' that was said to be left behind in the martial arts world. After more than ten years, you have actually regained your youthful appearance."

Then, he abruptly changed the subject, saying:
"However, flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns. Your appearance may return to what it was before, but your life will still be old and frail. We are both people with one foot in the grave."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Fairy Baiyun's beautiful face, which was no more than sixteen years old. She seemed to completely disregard the words of the Earthly Ancestor and said:
"You don't understand. When I walk down the street now, I don't know how many young men will turn their heads to look at me. Those young talents in the martial arts world are captivated by me after just one glimpse!"

The Earthly Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"From what you've said, does your purpose in coming to Baidi City this time be to seduce that young man from the Jiang family and make him your plaything?"

The Fairy of White Clouds, with her delicate eyebrows arched, extended her wrist, as white as mutton fat jade, and beckoned, pouring herself a cup of wine from the wine pot on the table.

But she only poured the wine and smelled its aroma; she didn't drink it at all.

"I did have that thought before, but if you, Ancestor Earthly Guide, also want that boy, then I might as well not compete for him." Fairy White Cloud dipped her slender, white fingers in the wine and spoke softly, as if hinting at something:

"Moreover, I have now set my sights on a target that interests me even more."

Upon hearing this, the Earthly Ancestor's face, as pale as a sheet of paper, remained completely expressionless as he said:

"Although I do want to take on a disciple, there are quite a few people eyeing that young man from the Jiang family. Even if Fairy Baiyun is willing to give him to me, I may not be able to get what I want in the end."

Fairy Baiyun chuckled, revealing a girlish charm, and said:
"That's not necessarily true. What if I help you? Wouldn't you get what you want?"

Upon hearing this, the Earthly Ancestor frowned slightly, clearly not expecting that the White Cloud Fairy, whom he hadn't seen for so many years, would make such a suggestion upon their first meeting.

However, after pondering for only a moment, the Earthly Ancestor asked:
"What are the conditions, Fairy Baiyun?"

"My condition is simple: I want you to help me deal with someone."

Fairy Baiyun spoke calmly, and Ancestor Diyin followed up with a question:

Whom do you intend to deal with?

Upon hearing this, Fairy Baiyun turned her head slightly, looked through the window of the private room in the restaurant towards a certain place in Baidi City, and said:

"I heard that the Hidden Killing Pavilion in White Emperor City has a new leader, and this new leader is not only young, but also extremely handsome."

Upon hearing what Fairy Baiyun said, Ancestor Diyin naturally understood her meaning and frowned, saying:
"You've actually taken a liking to that demon who's fallen into evil ways? I wonder if you know anything about what happened in the city today?"

"I heard something."

Fairy Baiyun reached out and brushed some hair behind her ear, revealing her alluring collarbone. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, narrowed slightly as she said:

"I have seen countless men in my life, but I have never met such a wonderful person before. If I can experience his tenderness, it will not be a waste of my long journey."

The Earthly Ancestor stared at the White Cloud Fairy before him for a while, then shook his head and said:
"If you want to get this person, you'd better be prepared to die."

"Besides, I only want to take on a disciple, so there's no need for me to take risks with you. Let's just drop the matter of cooperation you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Baiyun's captivating phoenix eyes curved upwards. She showed no anger at the Earthly Guide Ancestor's refusal; instead, a faint smile appeared on her face as she said:

"Don't be in such a hurry. I have another bargaining chip that you can't refuse. How about it? Want to hear it?"

The Earthly Ancestor looked at the seemingly resolute White Cloud Fairy before him, a hint of doubt appearing on his pale, aged face.

After thinking for a moment, the Earthly Guide Ancestor finally nodded and said:
“Fairy Baiyun can certainly speak on this, but the new leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion is no ordinary person, and he is in his prime. He is not someone that old fogies like you and me can easily get our hands on.”

The White Cloud Fairy chuckled, instantly exuding a seductive charm, and said:
"Isn't it because I'm attracted to his young and strong physique?"
