"Gold hairpins and bracelets?" Chen Yi murmured to himself.

He searched for a while and then showed great interest.

Based on the ability of foundation-building spiritual objects to reveal themselves, this hairpin gold indeed met my requirements and was Yin gold.

This gold was made when the metal reached the hours of Xu and Hai, its energy was already hidden and dormant, and its physical form was damaged, so it was refined into jewelry.

It also has the reputation of being the best of jewelry.

Because its shape was restricted and it was kept in the inner chambers, it could not be put to any use, and the function of gold was basically exhausted, so it was called Gengxu Xinhai hairpin gold.

He arranged a meeting place with the man and then went out.

Lakeside.

Two figures met.

Chen Yi carefully examined the man.

The other person was dressed in a black robe, but it could not hide his tall and straight figure under the black cloth, and he also wore a black veil on his face.

When his consciousness tried to pass through the veil, it was blocked.

This veil is actually a magical artifact...

His mind was slightly shaken. Even a veil was a magical artifact. This person must be quite wealthy!

"White wax gold, let's inspect the goods first." A delicate and melodious voice came from behind the veil.

Chen Yi took out a bronze mirror and gestured for the other person to come inside to talk.

The man frowned slightly, showing a hint of hesitation.

“We can draw up a contract first, and we will never do anything like murder and robbery,” Chen Yi said.

Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head slightly: "No, no need. In my Hidden Moon Sect, there is no one who dares to do such a thing openly."

But she still left behind the words: "If I am tied up, you probably won't live past tomorrow."

Chen Yi scoffed, "Maybe!"

He didn't know this person's identity or background, but he suspected he was someone extraordinary.

As someone who has only been here for a few days and hasn't even settled down yet, how could I dare to provoke people whose ancestors have lived here for generations?

Without further hesitation, the girl, illuminated by the bronze mirror, entered the grotto.

Of course, she didn't enter from the main hall, but rather from a desolate wilderness.

However, I was still secretly surprised.

"This is... a grotto-heaven?"

As far as she knew, only Golden Core cultivators could possess such a personal celestial realm, and the object that housed this celestial realm was a magical treasure.

However, not all Golden Core cultivators possess such a foundation. Within the Hidden Moon Sect, there are also many cultivators who still reside in mountain caves.

Some people just can't get used to living elsewhere, while others simply don't have the money...

She was also quite interested in Chen Yi's background.

Unfortunately, she couldn't even detect this person's aura; either they were far superior to her, or they had used a concealment talisman or something similar.

Chen Yi released the white wax gold from his storage ring.

The other party's divine sense scanned Bai Lajin back and forth.

White wax gold, a piece of jade from Kunshan, embodies the light of the sun and moon, and gathers the energy of yin and yang. It is bright in form and pure in body, and is the true color of gold.

She nodded secretly: "White gold, initially showing signs of gold, shaped like a candle, this should be quite good. Although it's weaker in terms of metal element among yang metals, it's most suitable for me..."

"Where are your gold hairpins and bracelets?" Chen Yi asked, noticing that the other party seemed quite satisfied.

"Here it is..."

She reached her hand behind her neck and gently stroked it with her delicate fingers.

In an instant, her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and a beautiful gold hairpin appeared before her eyes.

Chen Yi stared intently at the hairpin, equally satisfied.

"This item needs to be nurtured. It's best to have a girl wear it in her hair for three to five years before you can begin refining it," the man whispered.

Chen Yi's hand, which was about to catch the gold hairpin, suddenly froze. "So troublesome?"

The other party paused for a moment and said, "I've been wearing this hairpin and bracelet for four and a half years. You can find a virgin to raise for another six months."

Chen Yi still looked troubled.

"Where would I get a female companion?"

"And what about your mother?"

"My mom... seems to be dead. And she wasn't a virgin!"

"...I was just asking casually..."

The other party in the transaction looked at Chen Yi speechlessly.

"How about we leave this thing on you and I ask you for it when the time comes?" Chen Yi suggested.

Upon hearing this, the man was speechless.

She looked at Chen Yi in silence, then at the piece of white wax gold.

She really needs this white wax gold; the sooner she obtains it, the faster she can break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

She could tell that this thing had been nurtured for many years. Even though its spirituality had been slightly damaged because Chen Yi had kept it in a storage ring for a period of time, it was a minor problem for her.

If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll find a suitable Foundation Establishment item...

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth.

“Then let’s sign a contract. I will nurture you for another six months, but you have to give me the white wax gold first.”

For her, this was actually entirely beneficial.

If Chen Yi were to die within the next six months, she would end up with a piece of white wax gold for nothing.

Chen Yi nodded immediately: "Deal!"

He stated in the contract that if he were to die unexpectedly within the next six months, the gold hairpin would be sent to someone in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.

The plan to let the other party gain an advantage failed, even though the other party never really intended to gain an advantage...

The man gave him a strange look: "Don't you have a female companion?"

“That’s my friend!” Chen Yi said irritably. “Don’t worry, I can’t possibly die in just six months.”

He swore he would live to the end of time...

"The contract is in effect, the transaction is complete, shouldn't you let me out now?" the man urged.

Chen Yi didn't say much and released the people directly.

He spent the next three weeks in the Hidden Moon Cult, or more precisely, in the scheduled training.

Life suddenly felt like I was back in high school, full of fulfilling days.

Until this day, Li Yun suddenly came to his door.

He helped Song Xin, who still had her eyes closed, and said, "Junior Brother Chen, that Ghostly True Man is unwilling to help me. I only know one true disciple of the Youxuan sect, Senior Brother. Do you think you can put in a good word for me?"

Chen Yi was taken aback. He disliked this kind of thing the most and was about to politely decline.

"Don't you also know Senior Sister Suxin?"

“Her? I don’t get along with her at all… I stole a lot of her business back then,” Li Yun said helplessly.

"If you're willing to help your senior brother with this, I can give you 1000 contribution points!"

Chen Yi pondered for a moment and said, "For the sake of my senior brothers and sisters, I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee anything..."

“Okay! As long as there is even a glimmer of hope, I will not give up,” Li Yun said stubbornly.

Chen Yi sighed softly.

He was unaware of the feud between the Youxuan and Qinghui factions, but Youhun Zhenren's impression of him last time should have been quite good. If he just mentioned it briefly, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Even if you refuse, you can't blame yourself...

He asked Li Yun to wait a moment in his cave, and then flew to the Sutra Repository.

Upon reaching the level where minor supernatural powers were stored, the familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.

He stood with his hands clasped in a respectful but not arrogant manner and said, "Junior Chen Yi requests an audience with Senior Youhun!"

"Huh? Why are you here again?" The ghostly voice drifted over, like a spirit whispering in your ear.

"Having not made any significant contributions to the sect in such a short time, they probably won't reward me with minor supernatural abilities, right?"

Chen Yi spoke directly: "Senior Ghost, I have come here to plead for a friend..."

Before he could finish speaking, the ghost's voice came coldly: "You don't need to plead for them. I said I can't help, and that's final. Let that little girl find someone else."
