Looking at Lu Ye with a somewhat dark face, Jiang Lingyue's face turned a little red, and she whispered, "Bad guy, you... you're really amazing. I almost... almost died, sob sob."

"I read in a book that a man's primordial energy is precious and hard to come by, so I just wanted to nourish your body."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye tapped Jiang Lingyue on the forehead and said lightly, "Just scaring you, let's eat."

He naturally wouldn't make a fuss over such a small matter, mainly feeling speechless at the large supplement of wolfberry yam mutton.

Jiang Lingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that if Lu Ye got angry, he would really punish her heavily next time... It might take a few days before she could practice her sword again!

"Mm, let's eat, eat." Quickly sitting obediently next to Lu Ye, Jiang Lingyue didn't dare look at Lu Ye, and focused on eating.

Being the top martial arts grandmaster in the Northern Territory, Lu Ye's primordial energy is enough to make any Demon Race drool, and naturally doesn't need any supplement.

However, Lu Ye also took a couple of bites since it was Jiang Lingyue's heartfelt gesture, and the taste was quite good.

...

After lunch, Jiang Lingyue took away the food box, while Lu Ye walked out of Jiang Mansion, heading straight to Tian Qing's shop.

The maid in the shop naturally didn't recognize Lu Ye, who had removed his black clothes.

Seeing Lu Ye walk in, she couldn't help but ask, "This guest, what do you need?"

"I'm looking for Tian Qing," Lu Ye said lightly.

Upon these words, the maid's eyes widened in shock, staring at Lu Ye, who seemed to be about her age.

The name Tian Qing, known as Elder Tian, is naturally known to this maid working in the shop.

The problem is... Elder Tian is one of the few Innate Powerhouses in Cloud Leaf City! Both his status and strength are extraordinary.

Usually, people who come to find him would say they're looking for Elder Tian, not directly calling him by name, representing respect for Tian Qing, this Innate Realm martial arts cultivator.

But this young man, who looks about her age, actually calls him by name right off the bat?

"You... you're looking for Elder Tian?"

Looking at the maid who seemed to be forcibly controlled, Lu Ye asked, "What's wrong, isn't Tian Qing... Elder Tian not in the shop?"

Maid: "..."

He is indeed there, Elder Tian has been in the quiet room at the back of the shop during this period.

However, Lu Ye's approach made the maid unable to discern whether he was genuinely looking for Elder Tian or just causing trouble.

If he's here to cause trouble, and she brings him to Elder Tian... she might lose her job.

So for a while, the maid was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Thinking about it, and just about to lie, saying Elder Tian is not in the shop.

She heard the handsome young man opposite her smile warmly, "No worries, you don't need to be concerned, just take me to see Elder Tian."

"Ah?" The maid was a bit conflicted, but seeing Lu Ye's kind smile, she subconsciously nodded, "Alright... alright, come with me."

A moment later.

In the quiet room, Tian Qing looked at the two figures appearing at the door and quickly stood up, "Young Master Lu, you... you have come?"

After all, in front of the maid, Tian Qing quickly corrected himself to avoid exposing Lu Ye's identity.

The maid also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Elder Tian indeed knew this handsome young man.

Good, good... she still has her job!

Returning to the shop's front desk, the maid's mind was still puzzled; she clearly should have said Elder Tian was not in, why did she really bring him in?

But his smile... was so warm, the maid thought.

In the quiet room.

Tian Qing retrieved silver notes worth five hundred fifty thousand from his storage ring, each worth ten thousand, and over fifty in total, presenting quite a visual effect.

"Young Master Lu, I didn't fail, the storage ring has been sold, here are the silver notes, take a look."

Lu Ye took them, glanced over them briefly, then placed them into his storage ring, nodding lightly, "Exactly, I have a few more items here."

Tian Qing originally thought that what Lu Ye was referring to would be similar to low tier blade weapons or martial arts secret manuals.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, three more storage rings appeared in front of him.

Tian Qing: "..."

Storage rings, which are also quite precious items for Innate Realm individuals, and Young Master Lu casually pulls out three?

Actually, Lu Ye still has another one in his hand.

Not long ago, after killing an evil cultivator who had reached the Innate, within his storage ring was a bottle of Blood Burst Pill that could quickly boost one's strength in a short period, along with a human skin mask capable of altering one's appearance.

The Blood Burst Pill is one of the forbidden elixirs, after taking it, it can boost strength by one to two percent for a short time, but lasts only a few minutes.

Moreover, it burns one's own blood.

However, that evil cultivator never had the chance to take out the Blood Burst Pill and consume it in front of Lu Ye.

These two items Lu Ye hasn't placed into his storage ring, so currently they're not accessible.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Qing said, "Young Master Lu, I believe that these three storage rings shouldn't be sold by me personally, but should be sent to the auction house under the business association for better results."

"Oh?" Lu Ye showed interest, "Tell me what's going on."

After organizing his thoughts, Tian Qing said, "Not only can the auction house, when items bought reach a certain amount, issue a VIP card, but when items sent to the auction house for auction also reach a certain amount, that same treatment is available."

"Moreover, each auction house has its own advertising methods, covering large areas. Unlike our small shop, the number of customers we can reach is actually not many, otherwise, it wouldn't have been just these past few days that items sold."

"Although they take a little commission, a storage ring at an auction can easily fetch around six hundred thousand, making the difference actually negligible."

"And you can also obtain a VIP card from the business association affiliated with the auction house. In the future, if there are rare items, the business association can help find them, and buying items can also enjoy certain discounts."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye pondered for a moment, and then nodded lightly.

"What you say makes sense, I will go find an auction house then."

Tian Qing's small shop is indeed not big, and its efficiency compared to an auction house is certainly far inferior.

Moreover, each auction house under a business association is a huge entity, with numerous masters guarding them.

Connecting with them should indeed make future dealings more convenient.

As for whether the auction house would covet the storage rings...

Lu Ye shook his head inwardly, if an auction house under a business association becomes greedy over such items, it probably wouldn't have reached such a scale.

Furthermore, he's not afraid of so-called greedy individuals showing up; instead, it would be occasion for them to send him silver notes.

Seeing Lu Ye about to leave, Tian Qing thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Lu, there is a matter I need to talk to you about."

"Previously, outside Cloud Leaf City, a mysterious figure appeared, alone, and split the Yunlan River flowing outside the city, causing it to stop for several minutes. I suspect this was the work of a martial arts grandmaster!"

"There might be... another martial arts grandmaster in Cloud Leaf City!!"
