Chapter 1191: Chapter 414: Visiting the Dragon Palace

What’s more, there’s Mei Manor right before our eyes.

"If you are willing to help me, none of this will be a problem. Even if the Black and White Dual Fiends come to this Land of the Sea Ruins, they won’t dare act recklessly." Mei Manor said, waving a big hand.

"Moreover, if you are willing to help me... I can help you step into the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm of a Body Cultivator!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Yuan, who had been lowering his head silently, instinctively raised his head.

But he quickly smiled and shook his head, "This junior does not need it."

With previous experiences, Ji Yuan already knew that in the realm of body cultivation, no opportunity can surpass the ability to enter the Martial God Tower anytime.

Plus, he had an endless supply of Blazing Sun Bones and Profound Sun Blood Amber.

Breaking through to the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm is just a matter of time.

Thus, the smile on Mei Manor’s face gradually disappeared.

After a moment of thought, he spoke, "I have a secret technique that aids in Nascent Soul Formation, which can increase your chances of forming a Nascent Soul by ten percent, how about it?"

...Ten percent, Ji Yuan thought the effect of the Nascent Soul Fruit would certainly be better, he only needed to wait about seventy years more, forming a Nascent Soul should be a matter of course.

So he shook his head again.

"Nascent Soul True Treasure, Upper-grade Spirit Stone?"

"Senior’s kindness is appreciated by this junior."

Ji Yuan still shook his head.

Seeing that everything was being said in vain, Mei Manor simply spread his hands and frankly said, "Let me be straightforward, I’m asking for your help this time, what do I have to do to make you lend a hand?"

Witnessing the situation, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"So, regardless of anything, this junior must take a trip to the Sea Ruins, right?"

After Mei Manor spoke, a smile returned to his face.

"Both of us are travelers from afar; now, seeing each other at my doorstep, how could I not invite you in for a cup of hot tea?"

At this point, Ji Yuan understood.

Today’s journey to the Sea Ruins, he would have to go one way or the other.

In short, it meant two words.

Forceful Recruitment!

Since going is inevitable, he might as well demand some benefits for himself; if worse comes to worst, escaping wouldn’t be a loss.

"Senior invites me so cordially; if I still refuse to go, I truly would not be adhering to proper etiquette."

"Why didn’t you say so earlier, wouldn’t that be better?"

Mei Manor spread his hands and laughed, "Of course, even now is not too late."

"However..."

Ji Yuan shifted his tone.

Mei Manor was already prepared, "Speak."

"Senior must guarantee not to covet my Star-Stepping Wheel; in addition, this junior needs some cultivation materials, which I fear will require senior’s assistance."

Ji Yuan expressed his thoughts.

So far, the top treasure exposed was only his Star-Stepping Wheel.

Mei Manor knew nothing else, and knowing Ji Yuan’s significant background, the likelihood of him coveting... couldn’t be said to be none, but compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators, is considerably less.

"That’s all easily dealt with; if you are really worried, I can now swear an oath to you."

Mei Manor seemed genuinely uninterested in Ji Yuan’s Star-Stepping Wheel, so after speaking, he raised his right hand and made a Great Dao oath on the spot.

"I, Mei Manor, hereby swear that if I covet Ji Yuan’s Star-Stepping Wheel, let my cultivation never advance again in this lifetime."

Once the words fell, the oath was complete.

The worries in Ji Yuan’s mind were significantly alleviated.

"I wonder what kind of cultivation materials my little friend needs?"

Mei Manor’s face still carried a smile.

Ji Yuan rubbed his hands, somewhat embarrassed to speak.

Mei Manor was astute; seeing Ji Yuan’s reaction, he immediately discerned his thoughts.

"Demon Pill?"

Demon Pills are the most beneficial cultivation materials for human cultivation among the Demon Race, similar to how the Demon Race devours human cultivators.

Although humanity possesses Demon Pills, the majority are unquestionably found with the Demon Race.

Just as fallen "Immortal Material" is handled, the Blood Luo Mountain is where most such materials are concentrated in the Cangluo Continent.

"Exactly."

Ji Yuan didn’t choose to deny it for the sake of face; wanting it is simply wanting it.

Moreover, using Demon Pills for cultivation purposes is perfectly normal for human race cultivators, and Mei Manor could not be unaware of this fact.

"Tier Three Demon Pills must be easy for you, but what you truly ask for must be Tier Four Demon Pills, right? Speak, how many do you want?"

Mei Manor didn’t refuse, but his expression wasn’t quite as bright as before.

"How many can senior give?"

"Five, given how precious they are, you must know well that we don’t have much throughout the entire Land of the Sea Ruins."

...Five; at first glance, it seemed quite a lot since Ji Yuan only managed to obtain two through life-and-death struggles in Rashamon Sea.

However, considering the entire Sea Ruins, these five are certainly not plentiful.

The Sea Ruins is said to be on the southeastern tip of the Extreme Abyss Continent, but in reality, it administers all surrounding sea regions of the Extreme Abyss Continent.

The internal Demon Race conflicts, plus those who died of old age, and a significant number who perished under the Transformation Thunder Tribulation – how could it be just that few?

Ji Yuan estimated that even asking for fifty might still be considered few.

"It’s too few."

Ji Yuan didn’t probe further, merely stating his opinion.

"Then how many do you seek?"

Mei Manor asked.

"Ten."

"Too many; six at most."

"Nine, if senior truly gives so few, this junior would find it hard to assist indeed."

"..."

After a round of bargaining, they finally settled on seven Tier Four Demon Pills.

Beyond this, Mei Manor steadfastly refused to budge.

Ji Yuan had no choice but to agree; the obligatory task now yielding seven Tier Four Demon Pills was already a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

"Here is a deposit; the remaining five will be given to you after the task is completed."

Mei Manor said and pointed toward Ji Yuan, two Demon Pills glowing with a water-blue radiance and rich demonic Qi settled before him.

The demonic power contained within these Demon Pills was evidently better than the ones Ji Yuan had recently acquired.

Ji Yuan thought about asking for one or two more as the deposit but reconsidered; if he pushed further... angering Mei Manor would not be worth it.

"Then thank you, Manor Master."

Having obtained benefits, Ji Yuan tactfully changed the form of address.

"No need to be courteous."

Mei Manor nodded with a smile, "Are you ready? If there’s nothing else, we shall leave now; it will also let you witness our Dragon Palace in the Sea Ruins."

Dragon Palace?

The Sea Ruins are this bold?

A group of Sea Beasts gathered, not even sure if there’s a single Serpent, yet dared to call themselves Dragon Palace.

Ji Yuan thought briefly; he initially considered sending An Yue to deliver a message to Liu Yuan, reassuring him.

But with Mei Manor present here... Ji Yuan worried about exposing Liu Yuan and Mei Manor targeting him.

Moreover, Ji Yuan had slain a Tier Four Sea Beast here; that news certainly couldn’t be hidden.

Once Liu Yuan inquires, he’ll undoubtedly discover Ji Yuan is fine, merely temporarily occupied.

With this realization, Ji Yuan felt reassured.

"Nothing else."

Ji Yuan shook his head.

"Alright, then... follow me."

Facing Ji Yuan, Mei Manor abruptly turned and led Ji Yuan with astonishing speed southward.

As they progressed, thunder erupted across the sky!
