A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

Ye Heng picked up the tea that Kang Bo had just instructed his assistant to brew and took a sip.

"Not interested."

Three words, crisp and concise.

He knew what Campbell was planning.

Given the strength of the Spirit Group, they must have deployed a large number of people in such an important city as the Demon Sea.

The claim of being strapped for cash is nothing but a fabrication by Campbell.

He definitely hopes to get his own power for free, complete the task more quickly and efficiently, and make a great contribution in front of higher-level leaders.

Want to get something for free?

There's no way you can have such a good deal!

Combo's heart sank, but he did not give up.

He had long anticipated that Ye Heng would not agree easily.

This young powerhouse is unfathomable.

To impress him, you must offer something substantial and appealing to him.

"Senior Ye," Kang Bo composed himself and put on a smile again.

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. As long as the mission is successful and the eclipse is resolved, I, in the name of the deputy director of the Jinling Spirit Group, guarantee that you can enter our Spirit Group's internal treasury and choose any three items as a reward."

"The Spirit Group has been passed down for many years and has a treasure trove. Although we dare not say that it contains all the rarest treasures in the world, there are some ancient artifact fragments, rare spiritual materials, and even some lost cultivation manuals... Perhaps there is something that catches your eye."

After Kang Bo finished speaking, he carefully observed Ye Heng's reaction.

Access to the treasure vault is one of the highest prices he can offer. In the past, only members who had made outstanding contributions had the opportunity to enter, and they could usually only select one item.

He went to great lengths to persuade Ye Heng to come.

Ye Heng tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa.

The Spirit Clan's treasure trove? He was indeed somewhat interested.

Although it's just a branch of the official organization of the Great Xia Kingdom in Jinling, its collection shouldn't be too bad, and perhaps we can find something useful for him.

But I'm only slightly interested.

Ye Heng shook his head, indicating his refusal.

Campbell's smile vanished completely, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Even the promise of three items from the treasure vault couldn't sway Ye Heng, which caught him somewhat off guard. He had originally thought that such a temptation would be irresistible to any cultivator.

The atmosphere in the office was somewhat tense.

Campbell's mind raced as he considered what other bargaining chips he had up his sleeve.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind—Ye Beiyuan.

He remembered clearly that Ye Heng's attitude towards Ye Beiyuan was much gentler than towards others. The disappointment Ye Beiyuan felt after her failed attempt to seek help from her family during the Jin Xuan incident, and Ye Heng's comforting words to her…

An idea popped into my head, though it was somewhat...not exactly honorable, but it might be the only potentially effective solution right now.

"Senior Ye, to be honest, among the team members who went to Mohai City this time to carry out monitoring and preliminary reconnaissance missions... there was Ye Beiyuan."

"You know Bei Yuan, she's talented and has a strong sense of responsibility."

"This mission was initiated by the Ye family, who invited Ye Beiyuan to participate, and we also considered it a good opportunity for training. But now... the strength of Eclipse Moon has surfaced, far exceeding our expectations. They lurk in the shadows, acting ruthlessly and unpredictably. Although Beiyuan and her group are well-hidden, if they are discovered, or if there is even the slightest mishap during the operation..."

"I watched Bei Yuan grow up, and she's the Ye family's precious darling. What if... sigh, I'm in a dilemma now. I'm worried about alerting them, but I'm also afraid that these young people lack experience and won't be able to handle any unexpected situations."

"If I could have a strong person like you secretly looking out for me, even if you don't take action, I would feel much more at ease in crucial moments."

Ye Heng lowered his head in thought.

Ye Beiyuan is indeed a promising talent, and his character is quite pure.

More importantly, on the day Jin Xuan made his bold statement that he would cripple him, only Ye Beiyuan genuinely wanted to help him, even though that goodwill seemed powerless in the face of family interests.

Ye Heng knew in his heart how much of Kang Bo's words were true and how much were false.

This old fox simply wanted to exploit the slight difference in his attitude towards Ye Beiyuan to drag him down with him.

He had to admit the safety of the three treasures in the vault, as well as the safety of the people he cared about.

These two assets are enough to give him a reason to make a move.

In Mohai City, Su Yingxue is there, Jin Xuan is also on a mission there, and now Ye Beiyuan is also in danger.

He had originally planned to go and see the Demon Sea.

Since we're going anyway, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take care of that so-called Eclipse Moon organization while we're at it, in exchange for a favor from the Spirit Group, or... to ensure that Ye Beiyuan doesn't encounter any accidents.

It's a bit of a hassle, but it probably won't take him too much effort.

As for Kang Bo's petty schemes... a trace of indifference flashed through Ye Heng's mind.

Whether or not he takes advantage of it depends on his willingness. And now, he's willing to go with the flow.

The tapping on the armrest stopped.

Ye Heng looked up at Kang Bo, who was filled with nervous anticipation, and finally spoke:

"If that's the case, then let's prepare for the trip."

A look of surprise flashed in Campbell's eyes, and his tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

"That's wonderful! Senior Ye! On behalf of the Spirit Group and countless people of Demon Sea City, I thank you!"

He quickly took an encrypted tablet from his desk drawer, operated it a few times, and retrieved the relevant information.

"This is all the intelligence we have so far regarding the Eclipse Organization, including suspected strongholds, personnel characteristics, activity patterns, as well as the contact methods and covert locations of our reconnaissance team. Bei Yuan's team, codenamed 'Azure Phoenix,' has their safe house and rotation routes here..."

As he pointed to the information on the screen, Campbell explained it in detail, speaking quickly but clearly.

He knew that Ye Heng's agreement to help was already a rare privilege, and he had to provide the most comprehensive support.

Ye Heng listened quietly, his gaze sweeping across the lines of text and map markers on the screen, memorizing the key information.

The outline of Demonsea City, the areas circled in red, and the blue dot representing the "Azure Phoenix" group... gradually formed a clear picture in his mind.

Outside the window, the sky had darkened a bit more without anyone noticing, as if a rain was brewing.

Ye Heng took the encrypted storage device containing all the intelligence from Kang Bo and put it in his pocket.

"I will go to the Demon Sea." He stood up, his tone carrying an unquestionable air.

"But how and when to handle it is up to me. People from the Spirit Group, don't interfere with me."

"Understood! Understood!" Campbell nodded repeatedly. "Everything is up to you! We will fully cooperate and will absolutely not cause you any trouble!"

Ye Heng said no more and turned to walk towards the door.

Just as his hand grasped the doorknob, Kang Bo's hesitant voice came from behind him: "Senior Ye, I'm entrusting Bei Yuan to you..."

Ye Heng didn't stop walking; he opened the door and went out.

"That old fox really knows how to read people's minds."

He thought so.

Before leaving, I added this sentence.

Firstly, it was to motivate himself to complete the mission more diligently for Ye Beiyuan.

Secondly, it's about salvaging his image in one's own mind and establishing a good persona in relation to subordinates.
