A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Yue Rushuang showed no leniency towards him and said coldly.

"If you look at me like that again, believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out, you old geezer."

Her tone was filled with a chilling killing intent, and she didn't seem to be joking at all.

Even Ye Yun was taken aback, never expecting that Yue Rushuang, who was usually so gentle in front of him, would have such a terrifying side.

Despite being threatened, Hei Ming wasn't angry; he just smiled.

"Is that so? At least for now, I don't think Elder Yue is capable of doing it."

In his view, although Yue Rushuang's identity was extraordinary.

However, her own abilities are not a concern, at least not for the time being.

Upon seeing this, Yue Rushuang's beautiful eyes turned slightly cold, and she let out a cold snort.

"Whether it can be done or not, we'll find out by trying."

Judging from her appearance, she seemed genuinely prepared to fight the Black Netherworld before her.

For a time, the two were locked in a fierce battle.

The situation on the scene was becoming increasingly unfavorable, and a fight could break out at any moment.

Wu Xian frowned slightly and immediately spoke.

"Enough, Elder Black Nether. We're here to make a deal, not to cause trouble or fight."

Her personal intervention had a noticeable effect.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Hei Ming immediately responded.

Although he was an honored elder of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, his position was much higher than Wuxian's.

But who can blame them? They have a doting grandfather who spoils his granddaughter.

He became much more composed and smiled faintly at the group.

"For the sake of His Highness, let's not discuss these matters today."

Upon hearing this, both Yue Rushuang and Youlian snorted coldly.

However, considering their true purpose this time, they didn't pursue the matter any further.

At this moment, Ye Yun cleared his throat, glanced at everyone, and slowly spoke.

"Alright everyone, I've called you here to discuss a deal. If you want to fight, do so after this is over."

In order to play the part flawlessly, Ye Yun did not show favoritism to any party, as if he had only a normal business relationship with everyone present.

His words successfully attracted the attention of all three parties.

Especially Hei Ming from the Nine Netherworld Holy Land stared at him for a while, seemingly trying to find out his background.

However, he did not notice anything unusual under the cover of the Thousand Illusions Mask.

Therefore, without being able to discern Ye Yun's true nature, he did not probe further.

"So, it's you who wants to enter the Heavenly Pool?"

Hei Ming raised an eyebrow and stared at him, asking a question.

Ye Yun replied calmly and simply.

"Indeed, this Heavenly Pool is an excellent place. There are some things I would like to borrow here."

"As for the cost, I'm sure Miss Wuxian has already made it clear to you, hasn't she?"

Hei Ming hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand.

"In that case, let's take out the pills and take a look."

This was clearly because they were worried that Ye Yun would deny everything after using it.

Although His Highness Wuxian endorsed his credibility, Hei Ming still wanted to check it first to be on the safe side.

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded slightly, seemingly unconvinced.

"Yes, that's a reasonable request."

As he spoke, a beautifully crafted jade box materialized in his hand.

As it opened naturally, a cyan-gold elixir was revealed.

In an instant, a faint blue light, accompanied by a rich fragrance of cinnabar, filled the surroundings, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"This really is... a flawless ninth-grade pill?!"

When everyone saw the Yuan Shen Pill in the jade box in Ye Yun's hand, they were all shocked.

Although Youlian and Yue Rushuang both knew beforehand that this was to perform for the Nine Netherworld Holy Land.

But unexpectedly, he would directly take out such a precious elixir for this.

Hei Ming stared intently, as if he were glued to the pill and couldn't look away.

Then, he couldn't help but ask.

"Tell me, what kind of elixir is this?"

It is clear that this flawless primordial spirit pill has successfully touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and introduced the situation in a calm and unhurried manner.

"This elixir is called the Yuan Shen Pill, which can help heal injuries to the soul."

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

After listening to Ye Yun's introduction, Hei Ming was stunned for a moment.

When he came, he considered many possibilities, but he never thought it would be a elixir to heal the soul.

Although it is indeed extremely precious, its applicable scope is much smaller.

Finally, Hei Ming couldn't help but ask a question.

"Don't you have any other grade nine pills on hand?"

If possible, he would still like to change it.

However, Ye Yun didn't hold back at all.

He twitched his brow slightly and replied in a cold voice.

"What do you take a grade nine flawless pill for? You think you can have as many as you want?"

"This Yuan Shen Pill was obtained after going through tremendous effort, and there is no other choice for you."

After saying that, without waiting for Hei Ming to consider it further, Ye Yun looked at Wu Xian beside him and said calmly.

"Miss Wuxian, we agreed beforehand that as long as it's a flawless ninth-grade pill, we didn't say we had to specify the type of pill."

Upon hearing this, Wuxian pondered for a moment before replying.

"Hmm...that's true."

Then, she glanced at Hei Ming and gave instructions.

"This was indeed an agreement we made beforehand. Although the Yuan Shen Pill has a limited range of uses, it might come in very handy sometime in the future."

Of course, even he himself knew that it wouldn't be easy to get a chance to unleash the effects of the Yuan Shen Dan.

However, her purpose in cooperating with Ye Yun was not for the elixir.

It could be said that half of it was for personal reasons, and the other half was to ask Ye Yun for the pills he needed.

With her speaking, Hei Ming couldn't say anything more.

"Okay... then."

Hei Ming nodded slightly and took the Yuan Shen Pill that Ye Yun had handed over.

In this way, it can be considered as agreeing to the deal for Ye Yun to enter Tianchi.

After accepting the gifts, Hei Ming looked at Ye Yun in front of him and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do after all this trouble to get into Tianchi?"

Ye Yun would naturally not reveal that he was trying to help shorten Nangong Jiutian's resurrection time.

Therefore, he replied rather rudely.

What I do is none of your business, is it?

"..."

Hei Ming frowned slightly, turned to look at You Lian and Yue Rushuang around him, and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Tell me, aren't you all curious about what this guy of unknown origin is doing in Tianchi?"

The result can be imagined.

Youlian replied indifferently.

"I have no interest in other people's privacy."

Yue Rushuang, standing next to her, was even less polite.

"Me too, unlike some guys who like to pry into things."

In the end, she couldn't resist taking a jab at Black Nether.

Upon seeing this, Hei Ming's lips twitched slightly.

"you……"

He wondered if all the people present were idiots.

Am I the only one who cares about the safety of Tianchi?

Normally, he would be the one being called unreliable, but now, seeing the people present, he found himself to be the most responsible one.

"Fine, since none of you care, I won't interfere anymore."

Hei Ming snorted coldly and decided to set up his stall on the spot.

Anyway, since even His Highness Wuxian felt there was no problem in the past two years, there was no need for me to worry about it.

Even if problems arise later, it won't be my fault.

Little did they know, both sides present—or rather, even the person in charge of their Nine Netherworld Holy Land—were all aware of the truth.

He was the only one kept in the dark.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a group of people were playing one character.

"Feel free, may I come in?"

Just then, Ye Yun glanced at the three of them and asked.

Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang and Youlian immediately nodded in agreement.

"Of course, anytime."

Hei Ming glanced at Wu Xian and nodded.

Upon seeing this, he took a deep breath and responded in kind.

"I can do that anytime."

With all three parties reaching an agreement, there were naturally no further difficulties.

Outside the entrance to the Heavenly Pool, Yue Rushuang, Youlian, and Heiming stood in order.

Afterwards, they each took out their own jade tablets, infused them with power, and transformed them into a blazing stream of profound energy that rushed straight to the seal at the entrance.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the huge mountain was slowly torn apart, revealing a deep and narrow entrance.

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, thank you all for your hard work."

At this moment, Hei Ming, who had helped open the Heavenly Pool, still coldly uttered a single sentence.

"Whatever you want to do, remember, don't even try to destroy this place, or you'll die a horrible death!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun glanced at him and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm only absorbing a little bit of its power; it won't destroy this place."

After all, he was only trying to absorb a little more of the power of Tianchi.

At this moment, Hei Ming, unaware of what was about to happen, nodded slightly.

"Okay, you can go in."

After receiving permission, Ye Yun did not linger and walked straight into the entrance of the Heavenly Pool ahead.

As per usual procedure, Hei Ming and the others outside did not follow him inside.

He stood guard outside, watching Youlian and Yue Rushuang who seemed completely unconcerned, and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Hey you guys, aren't you even a little bit worried about that guy?"

Youlian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she asked a question in return.

"Worried about him? Why should you worry?"

Yue Rushuang nodded slightly and said calmly.

"That's right, there are still more good people than bad in this world, so there's no need to doubt others without reason."

Hei Ming was stunned. Wait, could these two women have been possessed? Is this something they could say out loud?

Soon, he raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, you guys aren't plotting against me, are you?"

Although there was no evidence, he always felt like he had been tricked.

Yue Rushuang rolled her eyes at him and said indifferently.

"You're overthinking it. Do you really think we're all as shameless as you?"

Youlian echoed her sentiment.

"Exactly, you're overthinking it."

"..."

Hei Ming frowned, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

That's it, whatever happens here is none of my business anymore.

……

Inside Tianchi.

Everything is the same as when I last came.

Thinking back to when he last came here, he was only at the Core Formation stage, but this time when he came again, he was already at the Foundation Establishment stage.

What came into view was the same pool water as before, radiating a strong power.

Ye Yun glanced around privately, and after confirming that no one was around, he smiled and spoke.

"Senior Nangong, you can come out now."
