, "I would never do that, and I wouldn't let you suffer for me.""You stupid woman.""Ye Bufan said as he held her in his arms, "Don't cry. Even if you do nothing, I can support you for the rest of your..."This…"

When Zhao Qinglian finished speaking, the originally fierce Zhao family members instantly wilted.

They are all core members, naturally not lacking in intelligence.

All of them were well aware how crucial the gambling den was to the Zhao family, a highly profitable venture that nearly sustained half of the family's cultivation resources.

Once trust is lost, it's gone forever. Such a loss cannot be compensated by thirty million spirit crystals.

As for the Hundred Gates Competition, needless to say, if they had just lost the match here and sent someone to kill Ye Bufan, it would not only mean that the Zhao family couldn't afford to lose, but also bring shame upon themselves. It would also offend the dignity of the Three Sects.

By then, the three major sects would be furious, and the consequences would be something the Zhao family couldn't afford.

I'm afraid I will be kicked out of the Seven Great Families from now on and have no chance to participate in the Hundred Schools Competition again.

Faced with this dire consequence, these people were speechless. Although they were filled with anger, they could only bear it in silence.

Zhao Qinglian glanced at Zhao Xing: "You go back now and fulfill the contract, not a single Xianjing less."

"Yes!"

With the Grand Elder's order, Zhao Xing didn't hesitate any longer and immediately turned around to run back.

Zhao Xingkong said discontentedly: "Elder, that's fifty million spirit crystals."

"If we give it to someone else, it's acceptable. The key is giving it to that boy. Can our Zhao family just swallow this"

"Five million Does he have the money to spend it"

Zhao Qinglian's eyes flashed with a cold light, "The Xianjing of our Zhao family is just temporarily placed in his hands. It won't be long before we take it back."

Upon hearing this, the resentment in the hearts of Zhao family's core disciples dissipated much.

He's right, these Immortal Crystals are only temporarily in Ye Bufan's hands. With the Zhao family's strength, they will surely get them back sooner or later.

Zhao Qinglian said again, "Xingkong, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Dispatch someone to keep an eye on that kid, don't let him move within the Ancient City. Wait until he leaves and then immediately deal with him!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Xingkong responded with a sound, then turned and walked out murderously.

Zhao Xing hurried back to the casino. Now that he had the Grand Elder's order, he no longer hesitated. He quickly took out a storage ring and presented it to Ye Bufan.

"Master, your wager has been gathered."

Ye Bufan reached out and grabbed the storage ring, his divine sense sweeping over it. There were a total of five million and five hundred thousand Xianjing inside.

Of that, five million was his own bet, and fifty million was the winnings.

"Very good, not bad at all."

As he spoke, he put the ring away.

Shen Qiyun said, "Senior brother, shall we bet anymore"

She had absolute confidence in her man, even though their next opponent was a peak Immortal King. She knew Ye Bufan would win without any doubt, there was no suspense at all. This was the perfect time to place a bet.

Others share this sentiment, viewing it as a fantastic opportunity to make easy money.

Ye Bufan unexpectedly shook his head: "Let's just leave it at that."

After saying that, he left. Though everyone was a little surprised, they all followed him out as well.

After leaving, Ye Bufan asked everyone to return to the inn first. He wandered around the city for a while and finally arrived at Zhexinglou.

Zhaixinglou, as the largest commercial institution in the fairy realm, has branches throughout the entire Zhongtianyu region, with its headquarters located in Yuangu City.

Compared to the Diaoyutai branch, this place is much more grand and imposing. Three grand halls stand in a row, looking incredibly luxurious.

Ye Bufan naturally has his own intentions and arrangements. What's most important right now is to help himself and those around him improve their strength.

This draw was lucky, facing a peak Immortal King wasn't a problem at all, but what if I met an Immortal Monarch

Under no circumstances should the Sun-Devouring Bow and Extermination Sword be used in public view. Even if they were to be used, it's likely that not even the opponent's soul would remain, making it difficult to explain the situation later.

Erlang even more so, his own trump card is something he shouldn't use easily, who knows if those old monsters won't see through some clues.

In contrast, Situ Dianmo's luck was a bit worse. He drew an opponent at the early stage of Immortal Monarch. In this situation, winning was almost impossible.

The most urgent task is to find celestial treasures. Only with resources can we enhance our strength.

Moreover, the cultivation method practiced by Situ Dianmo is special. Ordinary pills and elixirs have limited effect. The best way is to refine medicinal pills suitable for her.

In the ancient medical school's tradition, there was a kind of pill suitable for blood cultivators to use, but the most important main ingredient, the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, was not in his hands.

So his main purpose for coming to the Zhexing Building was to find the Jiuyue Blood Lotus. If he had this elixir, he could immediately start refining the pill and help Situ Dianmo take another step forward.

Arriving at the entrance of Zhuxing Tower, Ye Bufan took out the Supreme Token that Miao Bajiu had given him for convenience.

The attendant at the door paled upon seeing the token, sent a message via jade communicator, then respectfully ushered him into the hall.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in fine clothes rushed out from the back, it was Miao Jiuxi, the person in charge of this Zhexinglou.

"Master Ye, I am Miao Jiuxin, the manager of this place. Welcome to Zexing Tower!"

His smile was extremely bright and genuine, making people feel very comfortable.

Ye Bufan was a little surprised: "Head Butler, do you know me"

This was his first time at the Zixinglou in Yuangu City, and he was sure he had never seen this person before.

"This Supreme Token, my Star Picking Tower rarely distributes. In the entire Middle Heaven Domain, there are no more than a dozen."

Besides, Miao Badou is my cousin. He told me about Ye Gongzi's style before!

Ye Bufan only then suddenly understood. It turned out that this person was Miao Badou's cousin, no wonder he was so enthusiastic towards him.

"Young Master Ye, I wonder what brings you to the Stargazing Pavilion If you don't mind an old man, I can be your guide."

"The head steward is too kind. I'm here to look for some herbs for alchemy." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ye Bufan didn't directly report the Jiuyue Blood Lotus, and he also wanted to take a look along the way to see if there were any other medicinal materials that could be used.

"Well then, young master, follow me."

Miao Jiuxi was a genuine businessman, and his way of dealing with people was always smooth and tactful.

Besides hearing about Miao Bajiu's reputation, he knew this young man was definitely not someone to provoke, so he had better befriend him.

So he personally led the way, introducing Ye Bufan to all kinds of herbs here.

The onlookers were dumbfounded. As the head manager of Zhexinglou, his status was extremely high.

Usually, some elders from the sects rarely come here in person and receive guests, but today they are so polite to this young man.

The two climbed upward all the way, finally reaching the tenth level of the main hall.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. Although there were countless herbs here, he didn't lack much of what he needed, and he hadn't seen any shadow of the Jiuyous blood lotus.

Miao Jiuxi, adept at reading people, immediately discerned his thoughts.

"It seems the medicinal herbs here don't catch your eye, young master. If you need anything, just tell me old man. Even if Stargazing Pavilion doesn't have it, I can find a way."

Ye Bufan nodded: "Manager, I urgently need a Jiuyou Blood Lotus. Do you have one"ecognizing only the three from Huajian Pai: Hua Ruoyu, Hua Rulai, and Hua Ruxue.Thinking of Hua Ru Yu's face, almost alluringly beautiful, he shook his head slightly and looked down.Below Tiānwǔ State...
