"You want me to kneel before him? Ye Lin'Er, are you out of your mind? Why should I kneel to him?" Ye Chen couldn't help but sneer after hearing Ye Lin'Er's words, looking at her as if she were a fool.

"Hmph! You worthless waste, truly ungrateful. I'm trying to save your life, but not only do you not appreciate it, you dare to humiliate me? Trash like you shouldn't exist in this world." Ye Lin'Er's face suddenly turned icy, and a terrifying murderous intent shot out from deep within her eyes.

"You worthless fool! How dare you speak disrespectfully to Junior Sister Lin'Er? Who gave you the audacity? Junior Sister Lin'Er, don't worry. In the competition three days from now, I'll make this waste regret his actions." Zi Xuan said coldly, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a dying man.

Originally, he had already received instructions from Duanmu Ying to eliminate Ye Chen in the competition three days later.

And now, Ye Chen dared to speak disrespectfully to Ye Lin'Er right in front of him.

He could use this opportunity to show off in front of Ye Lin'Er, possibly winning her favor.

It's important to know Ye Lin'Er is now the most promising seed student of Celestial Flame Academy, having awakened an Earth Level bloodline never seen in the history of the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Many people want to curry favor with Ye Lin'Er.

And Zi Xuan is just one of them.

Therefore, being able to resolve the issue with Ye Chen for Ye Lin'Er is definitely an honor for Zi Xuan.

"Zi Xuan, you really think too highly of yourself. You and those like you, even if there were more, would only be crushed by me. What's there to be arrogant about?" Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile, not taking Zi Xuan seriously at all.

"Foolish waste! If you wish to die so badly, I'll fulfill your wish then." Zi Xuan's facial features twisted together, looking particularly ferocious.

Ye Chen was no stranger to saying such rebellious things to him.

To him, this was an absolute humiliation.

If not for the Divine Cauldron Alliance's restrictions on fighting, he would've already stomped Ye Chen underfoot, teaching him what reverence meant.

"Fairy Lin'Er, please follow me. The Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact you wanted has been prepared for you." Just then, a middle-aged man suddenly approached Ye Lin'Er, speaking with great cordiality.

"Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact? That vile woman came here, could it be to purchase an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact?" Ye Chen was greatly surprised.

It's important to know, even in the Celestial Flame Dynasty, Upper Grade Spiritual Artifacts are exceptionally rare treasures. Even Qi Dao Grandmasters at the Celestial Spirit Realm can't easily afford them.

Reportedly, even the lowest-grade Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact costs over ten times that of a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, and without more than ten million Ordinary Spirit Stones, one cannot afford to purchase it.

Yet Ye Lin'Er has the means to purchase such an expensive item. Where does her wealth come from?

She's been at Celestial Flame Academy for only a few months, and no matter how much Duanmu Ying values her, she definitely wouldn't have given her so much wealth.

After all, for a Qi Dao Grandmaster, ten million Ordinary Spirit Stones is an exceedingly large sum.

How could Duanmu Ying casually give it to Ye Lin'Er?

"Junior Sister Lin'Er, I didn't expect you could afford an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact so soon after joining Celestial Flame Academy. It's truly impressive! Until now, I've only managed to obtain a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact myself, truly shameful." Zi Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

He's been a seed student at War King Hall for two to three years, yet his accumulated wealth amounts to only six or seven million Ordinary Spirit Stones.

And most of those Ordinary Spirit Stones have been spent on purchasing a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact.

After all, Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts are incredibly useful to Gang Qi Realm experts, boosting their combat power significantly.

As for Upper Grade Spiritual Artifacts, Zi Xuan daren't even dream of them.

Because even the cheapest Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact costs over ten million Ordinary Spirit Stones, and a slightly better quality one can be worth up to twenty million. How could he, a Gang Qi Realm cultivator, afford them?

But Ye Lin'Er?

Today she directly purchased an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact from the Divine Cauldron Alliance, worth fifteen million Spirit Stones.

If Zi Xuan hadn't witnessed it himself, he wouldn't have believed it.

Though an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact can only unleash its full power through a Qi Dao Grandmaster at the Celestial Spirit Realm.

However, if Ye Lin'Er used it in battle, its power would definitely be far greater than using a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact.

This truly made Zi Xuan envious.

As for why Ye Lin'Er could afford an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, Zi Xuan naturally didn't dare to inquire further, knowing everyone has their own secrets.

Perhaps Ye Lin'Er once had a great fortuitous encounter, which is why she possesses such astonishing wealth.

"Ye Chen, speaking of which, I must thank a waste like you more. If I hadn't obtained the treasures your parents left behind, it wouldn't have been easy for me to afford an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact. But to me now, it's just a drop in the ocean." Right then, Ye Lin'Er's lips suddenly curled upwards, showing a thick teasing look, and transmitted to Ye Chen.

"Damn vile woman! You actually used the treasures my parents left me to exchange for this Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact!" Ye Chen's body trembled violently, his entire chest filled with rage, even his teeth were about to shatter.

Back when his father, Ye Qi, left him, he had left behind a storage ring packed with a large amount of treasures.

Even Ye Chen couldn't fathom just how valuable these treasures were.

After all, at that time, he was just a child and couldn't recognize the true value of those treasures at all.

He only knew that the storage ring was filled with Celestial Spirit Stones that True Qi Realm cultivators dreamed of acquiring, capable of crafting a fourfold Qi Sea Foundation.

The value of those Celestial Spirit Stones alone was immeasurable.

As for the other treasures, their value was undoubtedly much higher than that of the Celestial Spirit Stones.

Yet now, that wench Ye Lin'Er had actually taken the treasures his father left him to buy an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact and was flaunting it right in front of him.

Wasn't this just deliberately infuriating him?

"Hmph! These treasures are already mine. What's wrong with me using them to buy Upper Grade Spiritual Artifacts? Trash, you probably don't even know that among the treasures your dead father left you, there's even a legendary magical artifact. Unfortunately, my cultivation is still too weak to use them; otherwise, even a Peak Celestial Spirit Realm expert could be easily crushed by me." Ye Lin'Er held her head high, eyes filled with a deep sense of pride, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a pathetic ant.

"What? A magical artifact? These things were originally mine. It's all because I trusted this wench too much before." Ye Chen's eyes turned blood-red, gritting his teeth with resentment in his heart.

One must know that magical artifacts can only be wielded by Immortals; without the mana of an Immortal, it's fundamentally impossible to activate a magical artifact.

Even the half-step magical artifact Vajra Bell left to Ye Chen by Ouyang Zhong was insignificant before a true magical artifact.

But now, these treasures originally belonging to Ye Chen had all been taken away by Ye Lin'Er through deceit and trickery.

Even Ye Chen didn't have the power to take them back right now.

It was truly heart-wrenching for him.

Especially since among those treasures was a mysterious necklace, the only relic his mother left him, one that only Ye Chen's other half could possess.

But even this mysterious necklace had been claimed by Ye Lin'Er.

It was all because Ye Chen was too naive at that time, treating Ye Lin'Er as his true love, with no guard against her.

So, even if he regretted it now, it was already too late.

Now, the only way to reclaim those treasures from Ye Lin'Er is to become strong enough.

Otherwise, he would never be able to reclaim those treasures in his lifetime.

"What a pity, this piece of trash will die at Zi Xuan's hand in three days, otherwise, I would have loved to kill you with the Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact I just bought." Ye Lin'Er sneered, looking at Ye Chen as if he were already a dead man.

Whoosh.

She couldn't bother looking at Ye Chen one more time, gracefully following the middle-aged man and leaving.

"Ye Chen, in three days, it will be the day of your death. Cherish the remaining time well. Of course, if you're scared, you don't have to participate in the competition. You could just hide like a coward, hahahaha." Zi Xuan couldn't help but laugh, appearing arrogantly overconfident.

"Is that so? We'll see about that." Ye Chen's eyes gleamed with a cold light.

Half an hour later, inside a room in the Divine Cauldron Alliance.

Ye Chen took out three Profound Copper Flying Sabers and a Black Battle Sword from his belongings, handing them to an elder, saying, "These are the Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts I want to sell. How much are they worth in Spirit Stones?"

After some inquiries, he finally found a place where he could sell Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

The elder before him was in charge of purchasing Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts for the Divine Cauldron Alliance.

He carefully examined the three Profound Copper Flying Sabers and the Black Battle Sword for a while before smiling slightly at Ye Chen, saying, "They are all ordinary Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts. If you truly want to sell them, I can offer you 1.8 million Ordinary Spirit Stones, not a bit more."

"1.8 million Ordinary Spirit Stones? Then it's a deal." Ye Chen immediately agreed.

The three Profound Copper Flying Sabers were acquired from the patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Tong, so their quality couldn't possibly be high.

And the Black Battle Sword was the weapon of Duanmu Jie's servant, Ge Shan, which was surely just an ordinary Low Grade Spiritual Artifact as well.

Exchanging them for 1.8 million Ordinary Spirit Stones was quite alright.

"Young friend, you are quite straightforward." The elder beamed.

"Please have someone send all these Spirit Stones directly to the War King Hall." Ye Chen said.

He was eager to use these Spirit Stones to manifest the Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern.
