Upon arriving at the private compartment, Steward Ye directly asked Zhu Fei, "Friend, are you planning to refine the Expelling Dao Pill with the Traceless Immortal Grass you bought?"

Zhu Fei was immediately startled, looking at Steward Ye with some vigilance, and said indifferently, "Steward Ye, what I intend to do with the Traceless Immortal Grass seems to be unrelated to you."

Zhu Fei secretly decided that if Steward Ye couldn't provide a reasonable explanation in the following conversation, he would turn around and leave at once.

He didn't want to have excessive interactions with someone who had already guessed his purpose. It was nothing more than a subconscious protective reaction for himself.

After all, given Zhu Fei's current situation, it's not suitable to expose himself too much.

What if someone with ulterior motives guessed his true identity?

Or, more seriously, what if his current actions combined with the past events at the Divine Burning Tower led to the exposure of secrets regarding the Eye of Sky Burning?

At this point, Steward Ye also seemed to notice his own overly eager reaction. He first offered a smile of apology to Zhu Fei, then relaxed his tone:

"Friend, I apologize for my earlier rudeness."

Steward Ye then brushed aside the stray hair beside his ear, smiled softly, and said:

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ye Yun, and I'm currently serving as a steward at the Tongtian Medicine Pavilion. How should I address you?"

"Tang Fei," Zhu Fei replied indifferently.

Seeing Zhu Fei's unchanged attitude, Ye Yun couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, then continued:

"Please don't misunderstand, Friend Tang. The reason for my reaction earlier was indeed because the Expelling Dao Pill has extremely important uses for me."

"Oh?"

Zhu Fei's eyes flashed with some doubt in his mind, but outwardly, he still showed nothing, continuing to look at Ye Yun, waiting for her to continue.

Because Zhu Fei knew that since Ye Yun had brought the conversation to this point, and if she was truly urgent regarding the Expelling Dao Pill, she would inevitably explain further without him needing to ask.

If she didn't, then she was lying, and he would leave immediately without hesitation.

Sure enough, after a slight pause, Ye Yun continued:

"My father, when forcibly breaking through to the Immortal King Realm a century ago, was inadvertently injured by the Dao of Heaven and Earth. After extensive inquiries, I learned that only the legendary Expelling Dao Pill can cure such wounds.

However, the Expelling Dao Pill is extremely difficult to obtain. I've searched many times without any news, and many Pill Masters have never even heard of this type of pill, let alone considering having someone refine it.

It's precisely because of these reasons that when I heard Friend Tang wanted to purchase the Traceless Immortal Grass, I immediately thought of the Expelling Dao Pill. If there was any impropriety, I hope Friend Tang can forgive me."

Having said this, Ye Yun slightly bowed and saluted Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei understood that Ye Yun, with her cultivation status, being a steward at the Tongtian Medicine Pavilion, treated him this way mainly because of the Expelling Dao Pill matter.

But anyway, her explanation was reasonable enough, at least not a problem in response to his earlier attitude.

As for why someone of her cultivation would serve as a steward here and where she obtained information about the Expelling Dao Pill, Zhu Fei wasn't concerned.

After all, there was no relationship between them, and Zhu Fei wouldn't idle himself by asking those questions.

If he did, the one who should be cautious and alert would be Ye Yun, not Zhu Fei.

Thinking of this, Zhu Fei didn't conceal anything, nodded directly, and said, "Indeed, I intend to purchase the Traceless Immortal Grass to refine the Expelling Dao Pill. Does your medicine pavilion have the material?"

"Is it truly for refining the Expelling Dao Pill?"

Ye Yun instantly became excited, almost impatiently asking, "May I ask, Friend Tang, if the Expelling Dao Pill will be refined by you, your elders, or another high-grade Alchemist?"

Hearing Ye Yun's question, Zhu Fei couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He truly hadn't anticipated Ye Yun asking such a question.

After thinking slightly, Zhu Fei answered, "Steward Ye, that question seems unrelated to our current discussion, doesn't it?"

Ye Yun was immediately choked up, slowly calming down from the previous excitement.

With a somewhat apologetic smile, she said, "I apologize again for my earlier rudeness, Friend Tang."

Pausing, a slight hesitation appeared on Ye Yun's face before she finally said:

"To be frank, Friend Tang, currently our Tongtian Medicine Pavilion indeed doesn't have the Traceless Immortal Grass, yet I know exactly where to acquire it."

Zhu Fei's gaze suddenly focused, looking at Ye Yun with some anticipation, "May I ask, Steward Ye, if you could share this information with me? Or sell it to me? Whatever the requirements, as long as I can fulfill them, I will certainly strive to do so."

Actually, Zhu Fei had somewhat guessed certain thoughts in Ye Yun's mind.

But he knew well there was no such thing as a free lunch. Since Ye Yun said that, she would certainly have her own conditions.

The reason Zhu Fei asked was merely to give each other an avenue to discuss.

Indeed, Ye Yun's face showed a gentle smile after hearing Zhu Fei's words.

She nodded and said, "There's no problem sharing information about the Traceless Immortal Grass with you, Friend Tang. However, I hope if you manage to acquire more than two Expelling Dao Pills, could you sell me one?

Of course, I understand that refining the Expelling Dao Pill isn't easy, even many Sixth-grade or Seventh-grade Immortal Alchemists might not guarantee success. If you agree to this condition, I won't take your pill for free.

I have a piece of Taiyin True Stone left by my father, and if Friend Tang agrees, I'm willing to exchange it for your extra Expelling Dao Pill. What are your thoughts, Friend Tang?"

"Taiyin True Stone?"

Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, Zhu Fei couldn't help but be slightly intimidated.

Taiyin True Stone is even more precious than the Infinite Gold Gold he once obtained.

If he had the Taiyin True Stone and combined it with the Infinite Gold Gold, he could attempt to refine a top-grade Immortal Artifact for himself.
