“I’m back. And judging from your appearance, it seems that you have already obtained the Dragon Pill.” Yun Che stood in front of them and said calmly.
However, Xiao Tiannan and Xiao Baicao could not calm down. Xiao Tiannan said excitedly: "The feeling you had before was indeed correct. The Black Moon Chamber of Commerce actually has a Dragon Pill, and it is of the highest grade! When I proposed to buy the Dragon Pill, they completely denied the existence of the Dragon Pill. However, as soon as I took out the Purple Gold Card given by the senior, their attitude completely changed. Not only did they take out the Dragon Pill, they also gave us a very low price. But they asked us not to reveal any information about this Dragon Pill."
Xiao Tiannan and Xiao Baicao now admired this evil-hearted saint like a surging river. They had never dreamed that they would be able to see the legendary Wang Xuan Dan with their own eyes and hold it in their hands in their lifetime. On the way back, the two of them rushed back at the fastest speed, excited and careful. They had a sense of trepidation even though they were in the New Moon City.
“How much did they charge?” Yun Che asked.
"Six hundred thousand purple profound coins." Xiao Tiannan replied quickly. He knew in his heart that if he didn't have that purple gold card, he wouldn't be able to buy six million purple profound coins in the Blue Wind Empire, let alone six hundred thousand. Although this almost emptied all the available funds of the branch sect, he still felt that he had picked up a huge bargain.
Yun Che's brows trembled uncontrollably for a while... This Black Moon Chamber of Commerce was really shady! They bought it from him for 50,000, and then sold it for 600,000... And judging by the looks of the two people in front of him, this price was like picking it up for free!
"Bring the dragon pill here for me to see."
After finishing speaking, Yun Che took the Profound King Dragon Pill that Xiao Tiannan handed over, and pretended to examine it carefully before nodding his head and saying, “It is indeed the Profound King Dragon Pill, and it is a dragon pill from an adult Flame Dragon, which was obtained within two months. Very good, with this Profound King Dragon Pill, it will be easy for Xiao Luocheng’s Profound Power level to reach the Earth Profound Realm after his Profound Veins are restored.”
Xiao Tiannan was overjoyed. Six hundred thousand purple profound coins created an ancient genius who was only sixteen years old and had reached the Earthly Profound Realm... There was simply no cheaper thing in the world than this.
Yun Che returned the dragon pill to Xiao Tiannan and warned him, “Keep it safe and don’t let anyone know about its existence. Otherwise, if you are innocent, you will be guilty of possessing the treasure. Any sect with some ability in the entire Blue Wind Empire may come to your door. Your head sect will come to ask for it as soon as possible.”
"Yes, we will definitely not reveal it to anyone." Xiao Tiannan naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. He thought for a moment and tried to test it: "However, the aura of this Wang Xuanlong Pill is too special. If we meet an expert, it is inevitable that he will recognize it from a distance. As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams there are. I wonder if the senior can immediately start to help Luo Cheng... um... that..."
Yun Che’s face became serious. After a while, he slowly nodded and said, “The longer the night, the more dreams you have… You are right. Well, then let’s put the matter of repairing the Xuanmai on the agenda. Let’s start from tomorrow. However, if you want to ‘break and then rebuild’, a single Emperor Xuanlong Pill is not enough. You also need some other special materials, and these special materials are not available in your sect’s treasure house. However, the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce should have some reserves. How about this, Sect Master Xiao, you ask someone to take me to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce. This heaven-defying method has extremely demanding requirements for materials, and I must go there in person.”
Xiao Tiannan was excited and said quickly, "Okay, I will personally accompany you there. With me here, no one in Xinyue City will be able to hurt you even a hair."
“No, it’s not appropriate for you to go.” Yun Che shook his head and said calmly, “As the master of this sect, if you go with me in person, people will inevitably pay attention to my identity. Before, I traveled all over the place, and it didn’t matter if others knew my identity, but now I must stay here to heal my grandson Luo Cheng’s injuries, so I must not let anyone know that I am here. Sect Master Xiao, find someone who is trustworthy and not too conspicuous to accompany me.”
“Senior is indeed very thoughtful.” Xiao Tiannan agreed with Yun Che’s words. After a little thought, he said, “Then I will arrange for Zai He to go with you. Although Zai He is young, he has just entered the Profound Spirit Realm. Even if something unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to protect you.”
Soon, Xiao Zaihe was called over and led Yun Che down the mountain.

Crescent Moon Palace.
Yun Che has disappeared for three days.
Although Yun Che left a note before leaving, telling Xia Yuanba not to worry about him, Xia Yuanba was still worried. He searched almost the entire New Moon City for three days, but could not find any trace of him, not even a single person who had seen him. Lan Xueruo was as anxious as Xia Yuanba, and searched the entire New Moon City with him.
By this day, she could no longer wait.
"I have to go to Xiao Sect! I've been asking around for so many days, but no one in Xinyue City has ever seen him. This is too unusual. I suspect that he was abducted quietly by Xiao Sect. This is basically the only possibility." Lan Xueruo said with a cold face.
Qin Wuyou sighed and said, "Alas, I think so too. However, firstly, there is no evidence. Secondly, it has been three or four days. He has disabled Xiao Luocheng. Xiao Tiannan hates him to the core. If he had fallen into his hands, he should have already..."
Lan Xueruo bit her lip and said with determination, "If he's dead, I'll have his body! If he's alive, I'll have him back! If he's still alive, I must find a way to save him."
Qin Wuyou was startled, and said, "Your Highness, why do you value Yun Che so much? Not to mention that you have only been in contact with him for a day, even in terms of aptitude, Fen Juechen of Blue Wind Profound Palace is about the same age as him, but he has surpassed him by almost two realms. Besides Fen Juechen, there are countless people in Blue Wind Profound Palace who have surpassed Yun Che. Why are you so obsessed with him?"
Lan Xueruo closed her eyes slightly and said quietly, "I did consider Fen Juechen at the beginning. But... although he betrayed the Burning Heaven Sect, he was born in the Burning Heaven Sect after all, and he is the biological son of the Sect Master. Even if he enters my royal family, he will be criticized. Moreover, you know his temperament best. He is taciturn, almost emotionless, and as arrogant as a wolf. Because of his arrogance, he even betrayed the Burning Heaven Sect, so how could he be willing to be loyal to the royal family. In this world, there is no one who can really control him."
“And Yun Che…Palace Master Qin, who overcame a huge gap in level and yet crippled his opponent with one move, have you heard of him? I have been practicing the Emperor’s Heart Art since I was a child, and I am the best at reading minds. Even Fen Juechen could not escape my eyes, but when facing Yun Che, I could not see through him at all. I think Palace Master Qin must have felt the same when facing him. I have only seen such a person in my life. The most terrifying thing is that he is only sixteen years old.”
Qin Wuyou said: "Your Highness is right, his scheming is unfathomable. From his eyes, I saw everything he wanted me to see. I couldn't detect anything he didn't want me to see. However, such a person is destined to be much more difficult to control than Fen Juexin."
"No, it's different." Lan Xueruo shook her head: "I don't need to be controlled, I just hope that he can represent the royal family and help me with this one favor. At the banquet that day, because Xia Yuanba was injured, he was furious on the spot, and he didn't hesitate to hit the person who injured Xia Yuanba in public, which is enough to prove that he is a very loyal person. As long as you are sincere to him, he will also treat you sincerely. In addition, he is now floating like a duckweed, with nowhere to go. After following me to Cangfeng Xuanfu, everything will go smoothly. And now is a perfect opportunity. If he is really in Xiao Zong's hands and is still alive, if he is rescued, he will definitely remember this favor, and at that time, he will definitely not refuse."
Even though he had heard Lan Xueruo give all kinds of reasons many times, Qin Wuyou still couldn't fully understand where her esteem and confidence in Yun Che came from. After all, although Yun Che's performance was extremely amazing, his starting point was too low. A sixteen-year-old in the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm was considered upper-class in New Moon City, but on that stage... it was simply not worth mentioning.
And it was very close to that time. How could he reach the expected height in such a short time?
Perhaps, her "Emperor's Heart Sutra" sensed something.
“Since it is Your Highness’ decision, I certainly won’t object. If Your Highness insists, I will go to the branch sect with Your Highness.” Qin Wuyou said somewhat helplessly, although he knew that if Yun Che really fell into the hands of the Xiao Sect, he would definitely be in great danger.
"No need. It's best not to have anything to do with the New Moon Xuan Mansion. I can go there by myself. When necessary, I will reveal my identity."
Qin Wuyou hesitated for a while and nodded.
——————————————————
Yun Che and Xiao Zaihe had been gone for about two quarters of an hour, and they should have left the sect. Xiao Tiannan had been holding the glowing red Wang Xuanlong Pill in his hand, not daring to let go for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, slapped his forehead, and said, "Baicao, go to the treasure house quickly and bring over the box made of snow mountain cold jade!"
Xiao Baicao left in response… Not long after, he almost crawled back, his face pale and terrified, as if he had just seen a devil in broad daylight. He threw himself in front of Xiao Tiannan and said in a trembling voice: "Sect…Sect Master! The treasure house…the treasure house is empty…empty…empty!!"
"Empty? What's empty?" Xiao Tiannan's heart skipped a beat and he didn't fully react for a moment.
Xiao Baicao swallowed hard and said with difficulty: "There is nothing left... There is nothing in the treasure house... There is nothing left!!"
"What...what!?" Xiao Tiannan was horrified. After standing there for a while, he rushed towards the treasure house like crazy.
