As he said, Shangguan Yunrong directly turned around and flew away, leaving behind the He Mingde who had yet to recover.
Regarding this result, although Shangguan Yunrong was surprised, he felt that it was within reason too.
To be able to throw the Central Capital into upheaval and even startle the Wind Emperor, and he could even swagger back to the Endless World.
How could such a character be captured so easily?
. . . . . .
At this time, in Breaking Dawn City tens of thousands of miles away from the Tranquil Cloud Sect, several young martial artists dressed in plain clothing slowly entered the city.
Breaking Dawn City was a frontier town in the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations' State of Yan, contiguous to the Endless Forest. Since ancient times, it was the gathering place for countless martial artists.
"Heh heh, once I think about those Purple Mansion Sect fellows' faces, I get incredibly excited!" said a young martial artist excitedly.
"Haha! This cicada casting off its shell of Junior Apprentice Brother Ye was indeed executed beautifully! Those Fierce Gale World fellows expended such a great price to charge into the Tranquil Cloud Sect. In the end, they didn't even get to gain a single hair. There's probably no need to mention how gloomy they are," said another young martial artist.
"Those Fierce Gale World trash probably never even dreamed that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye could actually construct a miniature transmission array! Although it's only a short hundred-mile distance, but to dodge those informers, it's more than sufficient! Those whistle-blowers' eyes were polished until they shone, but they didn't know that we left the Tranquil Cloud Sect long ago!
These few people were shockingly Ye Yuan and company who escaped from the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
This group of people included Tian Yu, Mo Yuntian, Ti Wujiu, and the rest. Except, the outfits on them were very plain. People would mistaken them to be ordinary demonic beast hunters.
Chapter 479 - A Hundred Pieces Means A Hundred!
Although the realm passageway did not link up, large numbers of low-level martial artists had already flooded in from the Fierce Gale World.
The Purple Mansion Sect already controlled virtually all of the secular world nations in the Southern Domain through these low-level martial artists.
After the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples escaped out of the Tranquil Cloud Sect through the miniature transmission array, under Ye Yuan's arrangements, they organized themselves into multiple groups. They disguised themselves as the bottommost level ordinary martial artists and scattered around, rushing to some frontier cities.
And Ye Yuan's batch of people was the final batch.
The transmission arrays connecting to and fro the Southern Domain and the Northern Domain were mostly built in these border cities.
Of course, these transmission arrays were already controlled by the Purple Mansion Sect now without exception.
What the Tranquil Cloud Sect could defend was just the sect gates. The mortal world kingdoms, they already had no strength to attend to.
After the realm passageway linked up, large numbers of low-level martial artists flooded in. This kind of a strategic point, it was naturally impossible for the Purple Mansion Sect to let it go. Even the out-of-the-way Breaking Dawn City was no exception.
Basically, these cities all had Sea Transformation Realm experts holding the fort now, controlling the transmission arrays tightly.
Right now, these frontier cities' characteristics were all the same: easy to enter, hard to leave. Those who came in from the Northern Domain through the transmission array were totally ignored. But them wanting to return was extremely difficult.
Every frontier town had high-level Sea Transformation Realms holding the fort. Ordinary people simply could not cross!
If not because Soul Sea Realm martial artists were too rare, the Purple Mansion Sect would even send Soul Sea Realm martial artists to hold down the fort in these frontier towns.
However, high-level Sea Transformation Realms were already immensely powerful existences in the Southern Domain. Apart from those big sects' upper echelons, ordinary martial artists that could beat them were in the minority.
Even one of the Eight Great Sects like the Tranquil Cloud Sect only had extremely few people who could forcefully carve out a path too. Moreover, they could not guarantee that the high-level Sea Transformation Realms would not destroy the transmission arrays.
It was also this cicada shedding its shell move by Ye Yuan which surprised the Purple Mansion Sect greatly. These border towns' garrison had yet to come around to it. Or else, them wanting to break through these obstacles would be extremely arduous.
During these few days' time, the Tranquil Cloud Sect had already split into a number of batches and sneaked into these border towns, as well as scheduling to take action today together to forcefully break through!
Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng, these two people, were Soul Sea Realm martial artists. Dealing with Sea Transformation Realms was naturally a cinch.
Breaking Dawn City had Ye Yuan holding the fort here. Dealing with a late-stage Sea Transformation Realm was naturally not a big issue as well.
"Many people think that setting up transmission arrays is a colossal project. Actually, setting up a miniature transmission array that can only accommodate three to five people passing through, furthermore, just transmitting a hundred miles away, isn't something difficult. But the usage of this sort of transmission arrays is very limited. Martial artists who move fast can reach before two hours. Hence, the uses of this kind of transmission array are exceptionally few and remarkably easy to overlook. This is also considered a shadow under the light, I guess," Ye Yuan said smilingly.
"Hehe, what a fine shadow under the light! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, not only is your strength outstanding, this boldness and breadth of spirit are even a cut above others! If there weren't you around, even if we had guarded the Tranquil Cloud Sect, it would still be hard to escape death in the end!" Tian Yu said.
"Yeah! If not for this strategy of a cicada shedding its shell, the Purple Mansion Sect would definitely react right away, informing the frontier towns to intercept us. Once they wreck the transmission array, it will also be hard to fly even with wings!" Mo Yuntian said.
Ye Yuan just smiled and changed the topic. He said, "We'd best go to the transmission array area to take a look first. We arranged to make a move tonight with sect master they all. Figuring out the transmission array's surrounding situation first is better."
Everyone nodded in agreement and headed in the direction of the transmission array together.
Although Breaking Dawn City was remote, heaven was high in this place, and the emperor far away. The State of Yan's control over here was very weak instead.
Due to there being many demonic beast hunters going in and out of the Endless Forest here, the Breaking Dawn City was very prosperous.
It was precisely under such a situation that the Breaking Dawn City's martial artists' strength was quite formidable. Everywhere on the streets, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists could be seen. There were even a small number of early-stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.
Hence, Ye Yuan and these people wandering around in the city would not draw many people's eyes.
There were marketplaces everywhere here. Martial artists set up stalls spontaneously on the streets.
Ye Yuan and the others passed through two streets. Ye Yuan suddenly stopped his footsteps in front of a stall.
The stall owner was a Crystal Formation Realm old man, looking rather plain with nothing attractive.
"Old man, how is this herbal grass of yours sold?" Ye Yuan pointed to a stalk of grass on the stall and enquired.
That old man was currently bored to death. Seeing that somebody came over to buy stuff, he shot a glance at Ye Yuan faintly and said, "50 pieces of middle-grade essence crystals. I don't take low-grade essence crystals!"
"What? A stalk of Quasi-Tier 4 he
rb, you're selling for 50 middle-grade essence crystals? Why don't you go and rob people?" Tian Yu nearly jumped up hearing that.
That old man was disinclined to even spare Tian Yu a glance as he said indifferently, "Up to you to buy or not! Get lost if you're not buying! Don't interfere with this old man's sleep!"
But Ye Yuan casually retrieved 50 middle-grade essence crystals and said, "This is 50 middle-grade essence crystals. Your elderly self can do the counting."
When that old man saw Ye Yuan fish out fifty middle-grade essence crystals without even blinking, his eyes involuntarily glinted, and he immediately perked up.
There were quite a few stall owners who saw this scene and could not help commenting respectively.
"Truly, fools are wealthy. This herb's origins are unknown, and nobody can name it at all; let alone anybody who knows its usage. This boy isn't buying it back to feed pigs, right?"
"Hehe, Qi Hai this old fellow already asked all the high-rank alchemists in the city. Nobody can recognize this herb at all. This boy is still so young. Don't tell me that he recognizes this herb's use!"
"Might be some wealthy family's disciple from somewhere with too much money to burn! This kind of dummies, I've seen plenty!"
"You looked at the badge on his c.h.e.s.t. Still just an Alchemy Master. Wonder what is he buying this Quasi-Tier 4 herbal grass back for. These days, there are really all kinds of idiots!"
The name of the herb couldn't even be called out. Naturally, there was no one who knew what kind of medicinal pill it could be used to refine.
Furthermore, this herb only had one stalk. Even if somebody wanted to use to experiment, it was not possible to experiment out anything either.
This old fellow called Qi Hai already put up a stall here for a month. But this herb could not sell at all.
A stalk of herbal grass that simply had no usage, no matter how cheaply he sold it, it was not possible to spend this wrongful money too.
Earlier, seeing Ye Yuan enquire about this stalk of herbal grass, Qi Hai anyhow gave a price; 50 middle-grade essence crystals. It could already almost purchase a stalk of Tier 4 medicinal herb!
He totally did not think that Ye Yuan would buy. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not even furrow his brows, pulling out 50 middle-grade essence crystals instead!
Qi Hai sat up and could not help sizing up Ye Yuan. A while later, this old man suddenly gave a smile and said, "I was muddled with sleep just now. This stalk of herbal grass should be 100 middle-grade essence crystals!"
When these words came out, those fellow apprentices around Ye Yuan were immediately filled with killing intent.
This old man was completely setting price on the spot. How was this doing business?
This was simply robbing money!
In just a short while, the price doubled!
Ye Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Done! A hundred pieces mean a hundred!"
Chapter 480 - 250
This unknown Tier 4 herbal grass was called Dodder Green Grass.
This kind of Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herb was naturally not some rare object. But it was a rare thing in the Endless World.
In some medicinal theory records including the Herbal Compendium, there were simply no records regarding the Dodder Green Grass. Those so-called high-rank alchemists not recognizing it was also normal.
The reason why Ye Yuan took a fancy on this Dodder Green Grass was that this was one of the core ingredients for a Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, the Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill.
This Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill was precisely the upgraded version of the Soul Luring Pill. It was used to break through to the Soul Sea Realm.
Except, this Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill's medicinal effects was on an entirely different level from the Soul Luring Pill.
Ye Yuan naturally would not just use the garbage Soul Luring Pill for his own breakthrough. Encountering the Dodder Green Grass was just perfect at this time; he obviously had to put it in his bag.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan more or less knew some things about the Endless World's alchemy world. The value of this Dodder Green Grass was absolutely worth a hundred middle-grade essence crystals.
This thing was not the slightest bit inferior when compared to ordinary Tier 4 medicinal herbs.
Furthermore, due to this Dodder Green Grass being exceptionally scarce in the Endless World, an object was valued in proportion to its rarity. Ye Yuan did not feel that this price was too ridiculous.
It was just that the way others saw it, Ye Yuan naturally became a sucker who was foolish but wealthy.
When Qi Hai saw the hundred middle-grade essence crystals, his eyes immediately lit up, and his entire person became alert, becoming like a different person from that previously lethargic appearance.
One had to know that 100 middle-grade essence crystals was roughly equivalent to the price of a Tier 4 medicinal herb already.
Yet, how could Tier 4 medicinal herbs be so easy to acquire?
A Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herb selling at the price of a Tier 4 medicinal herb. Where should one go to find this kind of bargain?
"Heh heh. Young man, I see that you have such cultivation at a young age. Definitely a prodigious talent with discerning eyes like burning torches! This herbal grass of mine was snatched from the mouth of a Tier 4 demonic beast. I nearly died in its belly. Fortunately, this old man, I, ran fast. So 100 middle-grade essence crystals really isn't considered expensive!" Qi Hai said in all smiles.
But when everyone saw Qi Hai's manner, they had a contemptuous look.
This fellow was only Crystal Formation Realm cultivation. How could he possibly snatch such a herbal grass from the hands of a Tier 4 demonic beast?
Even a fool also knew that this was bluffing that youngster!
However . . . Wasn't that young man a fool?
Indeed, Ye Yuan actually nodded his head and said, "Huhu, elderly person, I believe you."
A series of snickers sounded all around. But Ye Yuan thought otherwise in his heart.
But towards these ignorant people, he obviously would not go and explain anything either.
Ye Yuan knew that the Dodder Green Grass indeed had a kind of companion beast whose strength was comparable to middle-stage Sea Transformation human martial artists.
This old man Qi Hai being able to return alive was already very fortunate.
People become shrewd as they get older. Even though this old man only had Crystal Formation Realm strength, he might have some special life-preserving means.
Therefore, 100 middle-grade essence crystals was indeed not considered expensive!
"Since that's the case, then let's close the deal?" Qi Hai was afraid that Ye Yuan would renege and hastily said.
"Haha. Done!"
The two people concluded it. Ye Yuan was just about to collect that Dodder Green Grass when all of a sudden, a discordant voice sound out.
"This medicinal herb, I want it! 150 middle-grade essence crystals!"
A young man suddenly cut in rudely and directly raised fifty middle-grade essence crystals.
Seeing this young man, the other stall owners all sensibly shut their mouths, feeling like he was like a plague.
But Ye Yuan's brows furrowed when he saw the situation. This punk was clearly making things difficult for him.
"Elderly person, I offer 200!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Competing in essence crystals, Ye Yuan really did not fear anyone.
Previously in the unknown mystic realm, Ye Yuan extorted a large sum of essence crystals from the Heavenly Sky Sect.
Later on in the Fierce Gale World, the Xiao Family also gifted a large sum of essence crystals in order to thank Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan basically did not touch them.
This punk was competing in wealth with him?
He was going to freaking regret it!
"250!" the youth spoke again.
At this, the people watching the show by the side could not hold back and unwittingly burst into laughter abruptly.
Ye Yuan was thrilled when he heard that. Was this punk a joker here to amuse everyone?
Seeing everyone snickering, the youth failed to react to it for some time. A Fourth Level Sea Transformation guard behind him hurriedly moved closer and whispered a few words beside his ear.
The youth came to realize the truth abruptly, and he could not help flushing with shame.
He shot a vicious glare at the surroundings and said angrily, "Laughing at what? Do you believe I'll smash all of your stalls if you keep laughing? Make my father take in your stalls and make you all unable to have a foothold in Breaking Dawn City?"
Those stall owners seemed to really submit to this and immediately put away their smiles.
That youth smiled proudly seeing the situation and shot Ye Yuan a glance like he was demonstrating his power.
Ye Yuan guessed that this young man's identity was special too. But he himself was born a silkpants. Could it be that he was still afraid of a silkpants loafing around?
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Elderly person, we can't afford to offer 250. We'll offer 300. Haha."
"I offer 500! This medicinal herb is rich in essence energy. I think it's pretty good. Going back and eating it should increase a fair amount of essence energy!" said the young man said haughtily.
Ye Yuan was speechless. This punk actually wanted to eat the Dodder Green Grass raw! Truly a wanton waste of God's good gifts!
The majority of medicinal herb could actually be eaten raw. But extremely few people would do that. Because it was just too wasteful!
Furthermore, according to the attribute differences in essence energy that martial artists cultivate, some medicinal herbs could even clash with the cultivation method trained in, getting half the results with twice the effort, and even affecting cultivation.
This punk was full of shit. He was purely finding trouble!
Ye Yuan obviously did not know that this youth just liked to find things to do when he was idle.
Speaking of which, it was slightly similar to Ye Yuan's predecessor.
This young man was called Jin Peng, and he was the Breaking Dawn City's City Lord's , Jin Feng's, son.
