Chapter 326: Massive Bleeding!

In the void, two exquisite figures appeared, none other than Li'er and her maid Yan'er.

"Miss, you finally couldn't resist making a move," Yan'er said with a half-smile.

"After all, he was a Sea Transformation realm martial artist. Perhaps I was overthinking it," Li'er replied indifferently.

"What? Do you mean... under those circumstances, Young Master Ye still had room to resist? How is that possible?" Yan'er asked in surprise.

"When I made my move, I distinctly sensed a fluctuation in Young Master Ye's aura, even if only for a moment. I feel that Young Master Ye seemed to notice my intervention, which is why he showed no reaction at all."

Li'er's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, clearly finding it quite unbelievable as well.

"Hehe, this is getting more and more interesting. Now even I am intrigued by this Young Master Ye. And he actually managed to comprehend the formation left by the Great Yan Divine King—truly a prodigy!" Yan'er said with a giggle.

Li'er smiled gracefully and said, "Indeed, who would have thought that this Boundless Realm was the place where the Great Yan Divine King rose to prominence? Hmm? Yan'er, what are you looking at?"

Yan'er's gaze pierced through the void and landed on Ye Yuan, murmuring, "Miss, don't you think Young Master Ye resembles that person?"

Li'er's heart trembled, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Ye Yuan as well.

It was fine when Yan'er didn't mention it, but now that she did, Li'er truly felt that way.

After a long moment, Li'er said with a bitter smile, "That person is gone. How could he be him?"

"Oh, my miss! You said it yourself, that person is gone. What does it matter if he isn't him? If we could figure out Ye Yuan's background, I think he'd be a perfect match for you! Even though he's only at the Spirit Liquid stage now, he's bound to shake the Divine Realm in the future!" Yan'er laughed.

Li'er's pretty face flushed red at Yan'er's words, and she scolded, "Stop talking nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth apart!"

...

In the great hall, everyone looked at Ye Yuan, curious about what conditions he would propose.

For the other six sects, this chance to watch the excitement was a first-time experience.

Heavenly Qian Sect had always been domineering in the Southern Domain, always extorting other sects.

But today, the bottom-ranked Nethercloud Sect had completely subdued Heavenly Qian Sect!

"State your conditions! But I warn you, don't go too far! I'm just an elder of Heavenly Qian Sect and can't decide anything for the sect!" Wu Zhao said with a dark face.

"Don't worry, I'm not that foolish. My demands aren't high: twenty high-grade primal crystals per person. Also, I want three fourth-grade medicinal herbs and thirty quasi-fourth-grade medicinal herbs. Don't tell me you don't have them," Ye Yuan stated his conditions in one breath.

"What? You really dare to ask!" Wu Zhao nearly jumped up.

It wasn't that Wu Zhao overreacted; Ye Yuan's conditions sounded modest but were actually exorbitant.

Among the eight major sects of the Southern Domain, the primary currency for circulation was low-grade primal crystals.

One high-grade primal crystal was equivalent to one hundred medium-grade primal crystals, and one medium-grade primal crystal was equivalent to one hundred low-grade primal crystals.

The problem was that low-grade primal crystals were abundant, but medium-grade ones were already relatively scarce.

As for high-grade primal crystals, they were simply priceless!

Heavenly Qian Sect now had ten people left, meaning they had to hand over two hundred high-grade primal crystals to Ye Yuan!

That amount was enough to buy a sixteen-restriction spirit weapon!

For reference, even Xiao Jian, a sect hall master, only used an eight-restriction spirit weapon.

Sixteen-restriction and thirty-two-restriction spirit weapons were generally only used by sect leaders and supreme elders.

Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "If you don't have them, we'll keep fighting until a winner is decided!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhao immediately fell silent and said with a dark face, "I'm just an elder; how could I have so many high-grade primal crystals on me? As for them... even less so!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No problem. Take what you have, and make up the rest with medium-grade and low-grade primal crystals. But if you do that, the amount will be twenty percent more than normal."

Calculated that way, if they used medium-grade primal crystals, it would be one hundred and twenty pieces, equivalent to buying five and getting one free.

Ye Yuan naturally knew how rare high-grade primal crystals were; Wu Zhao couldn't possibly produce them.

But as the top sect in the Southern Domain and the richest, the disciples of Heavenly Qian Sect were dripping with wealth.

Two hundred high-grade primal crystals, pieced together, should be about right.

Hearing this, Wu Zhao's expression improved slightly, but he still grimaced and said, "Wait a moment. I need to ask them if they can scrape it together."

Wu Zhao was about to turn and leave when Ye Yuan called him back: "Wait! What I said about twenty per person includes everyone who entered this hall, including them."

Ye Yuan pointed at the corpses of Heavenly Qian Sect disciples lying on the ground.

Wu Zhao's face, which had just improved, turned as black as a pot bottom, and he roared, "Ye Yuan! Don't go too far!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I'm just stating my conditions. You can choose not to accept them. And... compared to their lives, I don't think my conditions are excessive."

Ye Yuan's conditions were not made up on the spot.

He had calculated that this would make Wu Zhao both pained and willing to accept.

In Nethercloud Sect, elite and direct disciples received a monthly stipend of five medium-grade primal crystals and a thousand low-grade primal crystals.

In reality, top disciples like Ti Wujiu and Mo Yuntian had amassed a considerable number of medium-grade primal crystals.

For a small sect like Nethercloud Sect, they had to concentrate resources on a few exceptionally talented disciples.

But when Luo Qingfeng and Ye Yuan introduced Heavenly Qian Sect, they mentioned the gap in strength, including resource allocation.

For disciples of the same rank, Heavenly Qian Sect's treatment was ten times that of Nethercloud Sect!

That meant elite disciples of Heavenly Qian Sect received fifty medium-grade primal crystals and ten thousand low-grade primal crystals per month!

Twenty high-grade primal crystals per person amounted to two thousand four hundred medium-grade primal crystals each.

Wu Zhao and his group could produce that amount, but it would be a huge chunk of their wealth! Even if they had some primal crystals left, they would be nearly drained.

Adding three fourth-grade and thirty quasi-fourth-grade medicinal herbs, Heavenly Qian Sect would definitely suffer massive bleeding.

Sure enough, after a while, Wu Zhao returned to Ye Yuan with a face that looked like it could drip water.

Wu Zhao casually tossed a storage ring to Ye Yuan and said in a harsh tone, "Here are the primal crystals and herbs you wanted! With such a big appetite, I hope you don't choke to death!"

Ye Yuan smiled leisurely and said, "I have a very good appetite. No need for Elder Wu to worry."
