Chapter 1190: Chapter 414: Visiting the Dragon Palace

... Is this how poor Body Cultivators are?

Manor Master Mei thought it might really be possible.

Whether it’s the Cangluo Continent or the Jiyuan Continent, both are barren lands for Body Cultivators.

These two continents themselves have hardly any Body Cultivation Techniques, Body Refining Secret Techniques, or even places that can assist Body Cultivators in their cultivation are pitifully few.

So eating... has become the most useful method for Body Cultivators.

"Well, since he wants to eat so much, maybe it can really lure him to make a move."

As this thought flashed through Manor Master Mei’s mind, he felt even more confident.

So next, he stood silently in the air waiting, while actually, Ji Yuan was also waiting.

... Damn it, is this old scoundrel really not leaving?

Since we parted at West Border City that time, didn’t he say that we wouldn’t interfere with each other? I was still waiting to confront him after my Nascent Soul Formation.

But with Manor Master Mei not leaving, Ji Yuan had no choice.

He spent half a day transferring all the bodies of the Tier Four Sea Beasts into the [Pigsty] and then reluctantly returned to Manor Master Mei, cupping his hands with a smile:

"Greetings, Senior."

Ji Yuan waited for a breath’s time, Manor Master Mei did not speak, seemed to be observing him.

After a breath, Manor Master Mei suddenly flashed beside him, stretched out his hands to grasp Ji Yuan’s arms, and personally helped him up.

The Master of the Sea Ruins, renowned across the world, smiled kindly and said:

"I don’t even know how many times I’ve met Ji Xiaoyou this time, why be so polite, my young friend?"

"If it weren’t for the big age gap between us, I’d almost ask you to call me Brother Mei."

At this moment, Ji Yuan did not feel flattered by the attention of a senior, but rather cautious about this unsolicited kindness. However, he still put on a look of joy on the surface.

"How dare I, how dare I, being able to call you Manor Master Mei is already very audacious for me."

"That’s fine."

Manor Master Mei sighed, seemingly a bit disappointed, "Well, considering no one else on the entire Jiyuan Continent would call me this, it does make me feel somewhat close."

The more Manor Master Mei said this.

The more alert Ji Yuan became... What is this old scoundrel planning?

Such obvious flattery seems too deliberate.

Logically, he wouldn’t show his intentions so openly, unless there’s really something he needs from me, but what could he possibly need from me?

Suddenly, the words "Star-Stepping Wheel" flashed in Ji Yuan’s mind.

’The commotion I caused in the Rashamon Sea was so big, some things could be hidden from outsiders, but not from these Nascent Soul Cultivators, especially since this Manor Master Mei is a late-stage Nascent Soul demon.’

’The title of Old Demon Ji is another thing; outsiders may not know, but he certainly does.’

With that thought, Ji Yuan immediately fell silent.

He almost instinctively thought of activating the Star-Stepping Wheel under his feet to make a run for it; after all, after absorbing so much Star Power, he could barely activate it once.

"Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your Star-Stepping Wheel."

Seeing Ji Yuan’s silence, Manor Master Mei immediately understood his thoughts and concerns, choosing to communicate directly.

Does Ji Yuan believe him?

No.

"You probably don’t believe me, but you also know my background. This Star-Stepping Wheel might be an excellent Escape Technique Miracle Treasure for other Nascent Soul Cultivators, but for me, Manor Master Mei, it’s not that useful."

Manor Master Mei said with a chuckle.

This statement did make some sense, but who would dislike having too many treasures?

Even if he can’t use it himself, he could trade it with the Black and White Divine Hall for great benefits.

"How about this, I know your personality, and you must be thinking about how to escape now." Manor Master Mei said, pondering: "If you’re not assured, I can make an oath in front of you, promising not to target your Star-Stepping Wheel, how about that?"

A late-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator offering to swear an oath to a late-stage Core Formation cultivator like himself.

Such sincerity is not lacking.

However, Ji Yuan had no particular reaction to this, and after a brief silence, he chose to be straightforward, "Senior, you couldn’t have come to me for no reason, if there’s anything, you can say it directly."

"Indeed, speaking with a smart person does save trouble."

Manor Master Mei clapped his hands together and laughed heartily.

He paced back and forth above this void in front of Ji Yuan.

After a few circles, he turned to Ji Yuan, with hands clasped together and a slight smile:

"It’s true I’m not after your Star-Stepping Wheel, and it’s true I have a favor to ask you, but what exactly... I can’t tell you unless you agree."

Ji Yuan looked at this Manor Master Mei in front of him.

"Can I choose not to agree?"

Hearing this, Manor Master Mei laughed loudly: "Why not?"

"Then I..."

Before Ji Yuan could finish speaking, Manor Master Mei gestured forward, and a map of the mountains and rivers of the entire Jiyuan Continent appeared between them.

"You should know better than I how valuable the Star-Stepping Wheel is; most likely you’ll have to return to the Jiyuan Continent after leaving, and no need for me to say how many Nascent Soul Cultivators will pursue you by then."

"Eight Holy Lands, one Divine Hall, plus some Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators. Your hiding methods are indeed clever, but for those capable of Nascent Soul Formation, which among them is easy?"

"They can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one."

Manor Master Mei analyzed in detail.

Ji Yuan listened silently, it seemed quite reasonable.

But Manor Master Mei did not know how many trump cards Ji Yuan had, when pushed to the limit... he might be able to drag the Black and White Dual Fiends into the mess.
