Chapter 147 The Handsome Fourth Senior Brother?
"Okay, okay, who are you trying to scare?"
"snort!"
Ye Luo waved to the dark figure and said seriously, "Don't wander around aimlessly in the future. If someone sees you, it might cause unnecessary trouble."
"You don't need to tell me!" The dark figure snorted coldly, unwillingly burrowing back into Feng Yue's body.
The cave fell silent instantly. Seeing that Feng Yue still seemed to be in a daze, Ye Luo smiled and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, since this old man has agreed, he shouldn't go back on his word. You don't need to worry too much."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yue looked at him with bloodshot eyes. Was the torment and suffering he had endured over the years finally coming to an end?
"Junior brother, thank you so much..."
"There's no need for thanks between us." Ye Luo patted his shoulder and continued:
"So you see, a problem that one person can't solve might be easily resolved by discussing it with others. Therefore, you must learn to communicate more in the future, otherwise how will others know your difficulties?"
"Junior brother, I have learned a lot from you."
"In that case... you'd better get rid of that dark robe and that half-mask on your face, it looks awful!"
As Ye Luo was speaking, she reached out to pull it off, which startled Feng Yue, who quickly covered his mask and cried out, "No, don't take it off..."
"We've known each other for so long, and I still haven't seen your full face! We agreed to be honest with each other, but today I'm determined to see it!!"
Seeing Ye Luo's serious expression, Feng Yue hesitated for a moment, clenching his sleeves, and then said, "Senior Brother's appearance is rather unsightly; I'm afraid it will offend Junior Brother's eyes..."
"No, no!"
Seeing that he was finally starting to relent, Ye Luo encouraged him even more, "Quick, quick, take off this mask and let me see it!"
"Um……"
Feng Yue nodded and reached out to untie the knots binding him. However, in the slightly dark cave, Ye Luo couldn't see clearly at all, so he pulled him a few steps toward the light.
"Hehe, let me see—" Suddenly Ye Luo stopped talking, staring wide-eyed at him, speechless and in a daze.
His fair and smooth face was handsome with sharp features. His dark and deep eyes shone with a captivating luster. His thick, sword-like eyebrows, high nose, and exquisitely shaped lips all exuded nobility and elegance.
As expected, they didn't disgrace the Demon Lord's Realm!
"Don't, don't look..." Perhaps it was the exposure to the light that made Feng Yue feel extremely uncomfortable, and he subconsciously covered his face with his hands.
"Uh..." Ye Luo raised an eyebrow speechlessly. It was just that her demeanor seemed a little off...
By the time he came to his senses, Feng Yue had already put the mask back on, walked a few steps into the shadows, and lowered his head, saying, "I...I told you...don't look..."
"Fourth Senior Brother, do you have some misunderstanding about the phrase 'unsightly'?"
"Um?"
"Sigh, never mind, you can still wear it." Ye Luo patted his shoulder and strode towards the outside of the cave, muttering softly, "...Otherwise, I'm thinking of getting a new husband."
"???"
...
After leaving Feng Yue's cave, Ye Luo did not return immediately. Instead, she summoned the Mysterious Fan and flew into the sky, looking down at the surroundings of Peach Blossom Valley. She murmured to herself, "If we were to move the entire Peach Blossom Valley, we would need at least thirty array stones..."
At this moment, Ming Cang saw him circling in the sky several times and, feeling quite puzzled, waved and asked, "What are you doing, kid?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo landed beside him and truthfully said, "Master, I want to build a large formation for our Peach Blossom Valley."
"A grand formation?" Ming Cang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need. Peach Blossom Valley has a protective formation, left behind by the founding patriarch!"
Ye Luo looked somewhat surprised. "We have a sect-protecting formation?"
"Yes, it has never been used in recent years because no one has attacked it or encountered any crisis."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo frowned. Even though Peach Blossom Valley had a protective formation, it still couldn't escape being attacked and destroyed in the original story. One can imagine how fierce that battle must have been.
“Master, what I want to do is not a defensive sect-protecting formation.”
"Oh?" Ming Cang noticed the unusual seriousness on his face and asked, "Then what kind of formation do you want to create?"
"I want to build an ancient teleportation array for use in emergency situations when the sect needs to take refuge."
"An ancient teleportation array?" Ming Cang's face showed surprise, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You have the array diagram?"
"Hmm." Ye Luo took out a copied array diagram. "Master, please take a look and see how we can properly set up the array in Peach Blossom Valley."
Upon hearing this, Ming Cang took the blueprint from his hand, looked at the mysterious runes on it, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "It really is an ancient teleportation array!"
Ancient battle formation diagrams are priceless treasures, almost always coveted by various powerful forces. He never expected his disciple to produce one so casually. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked, "Did he give it to you?"
"Him?" Ye Luo was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant. He had mistakenly thought that Jun Yi had given it to him.
But that's fine too. He was too lazy to explain anymore, so he smiled and said, "Yes, it was him who gave it to us. Here is the list of materials needed. Do we have them in our inventory?"
Ming Cang took the list and nearly dropped his jaw in astonishment, exclaiming, "This... so much!"
Leaving aside the common materials, there are also some rare materials that are hard to find even at major auction houses.
He looked at the list and roughly estimated that it would cost tens of millions of spirit stones to even create a prototype of this ancient formation... let alone a complete and usable one.
Ye Luo smiled and said, "That's still my conservative estimate..."
Ming Cang shook his head at him and sighed, "To tell you the truth, there's almost none of the materials in the warehouse up here. Let's not do this formation..."
"No, we have to make it happen!"
Mingcang sensed that he was behaving strangely and asked with some doubt, "Xiaoluo, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing..." Ye Luo looked around at the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Valley, and after a long while, she smiled at Ming Cang and said, "I just want to protect Peach Blossom Valley better, because this is also my home!"
Mingcang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You child... then so be it. Your teacher will collect the materials according to the list."
"Well, then I'll trouble you, Master." Ye Luo waved her hand and tossed out dozens of boxes of spirit stones, then added, "These are for you to use for purchasing supplies."
"...You're such a thoughtful child. I'll leave you in your master's care."
That evening, Ye Luo couldn't wait to go to the market, so she dragged Cen Feng and Feng Yue out of the valley, clearly refusing Yu Qianling's idea of coming along, which made her depressed for a while.
Yu Qianling: "What important thing are they going to do?"
Nan Muyin smiled and said, "I don't know. It seems like they're going to buy a lot of things, probably for modifying that warship."
"What's the point of modifying a broken ship? I'm going back to my cave to sleep."

Ye Luo led the two to a border town. Although it didn't look very prosperous, it was a night market worth visiting for the area around Peach Blossom Valley.
"Buy materials, make puppets! Buy materials, make puppets—" Cen Feng was extremely excited the whole way, his chatter never stopping.
"Fifth Senior Brother, can you shut up?!" Ye Luo said, unable to bear it any longer. "If I had known, I would have preferred to bring Third Senior Sister instead."
"No way, do you dislike me that much?"
"Then shut up, or I won't pay the spirit stones for you."
Upon hearing this, Cen Feng wisely covered his mouth, indicating that he would not say another word.
Ye Luo walked towards Feng Yue in the distance, where he saw him carefully selecting materials, and excitedly said:
“Junior brother, look at this star-patterned black iron. It’s perfect for reinforcing the hull. And this Heavenly Cold Crystal can be used to make a protective shield.”
"Hmm, not bad." Ye Luo and his group bargained and successfully bought all the supplies from that small stall, which excited the other stall owners in the market, who kept calling out to them.
"Young men, come and take a look at my goods! How about I give you a 30% discount?"
Ye Luo turned his head at the sound and saw a burly man with a fake, enthusiastic smile on his face. He could feel the bloodthirsty aura emanating from the man even from a distance. He wondered how many people this guy had killed.
He really didn't want to do business with these desperate people, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he unexpectedly noticed that there were two kinds of materials needed for formations on his stall.
Ye Luo frowned and tightened his grip on the folding fan in his hand, then stepped forward and asked, "How much are the Purple Flame Sand and Sea Gold Sand?"
The burly man sized up Ye Luo, a greedy glint in his eyes. "If sold separately, the Purple Flame Stone is worth 10,000 spirit stones, and the Sea Gold Sand is worth 20,000 spirit stones."
Ye Luo: "What if we pack it up?"
"If you buy it all together, I'll give you a discount, so it'll be 26,000 spirit stones!"
A smile appeared in Ye Luo's eyes. She took out a piece of purple flame stone from her storage bracelet and sneered, "We just came from over there. This worthless thing only costs three hundred spirit stones. You're too greedy!"
The burly man's previously fawning face instantly turned sinister and terrifying after being exposed. "Kid, you're here to cause trouble, aren't you?!"
"Tch, I don't have that kind of time. It's you who's doing business unfairly." After Ye Luo finished speaking, he turned to leave, but the big man swung a large knife and blocked his way.
"Kid, you're buying it whether you like it or not! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to take your life myself!"
On the streets of the market, the crowd was already used to seeing a battle about to break out, and they all watched the show with great interest.
"Looks like this kid's in for a rough time. He's just unlucky to run into such an unreasonable person!"
"How many suckers are we having today?"
"It seems to be the sixth one."
Ye Luo chuckled lightly, calmly shook her fan, and said, "Are you planning to force a sale?"
The burly man snorted coldly, "So what if it is?"
Ye Luo and Cen Feng exchanged a glance, then grinned. "Hey, what a coincidence, I also love using force. In that case, I'll gladly accept it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Feng patted his storage bag, and a huge spider puppet appeared out of thin air. Its sharp spider legs suddenly gripped the big man's neck, scaring him so much that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
Cen Feng sneered, "Are you blind? You dare to bully us?"
"Senior, please spare my life... I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness!"
Cen Feng: "Get lost! Who's your senior? Kneel down properly!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ye Luo chuckled and waved her hand, storing everything on the stall into her storage bracelet. "This feeling of bullying the weak is actually quite enjoyable. No wonder some people are always happy to do it."
Seeing this, the stall owners nearby all wanted to pack up and leave, fearing that Ye Luo and his group would forcibly seize their stalls. In an instant, the market area became empty.
This left Ye Luo speechless, so she could only lead Cen Feng and the other person away from the place and head towards another market street.
They had only been gone a short while when several fierce-looking cultivators appeared on the street. The leader, a cultivator in black, sneered, "Later, you all proceed according to plan. We're going to capture those three fat sheep!"
"yes!"
At this moment, Ye Luo and his two companions were unaware that they were being watched by a group of people. They were still strolling through the market in the city. "Junior brother, come and help me pay with spirit stones! I want this, this, this—!"
Ye Luo looked at the materials Cen Feng was pointing at, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. "You really aren't being polite!"
"You promised me that!"
Cen Feng put his arm around Ye Luo's shoulder and chuckled, "Besides, the stronger the puppet I create, the more powerful the puppet talisman you draw will be, right? So it's a win-win situation for both of us!"
Ye Luo glanced at him sideways and said teasingly, "Fifth Senior Brother, you've actually grown a brain? That's quite rare!"
Cen Feng: "..."
"Tsk, stop talking nonsense and buy it for me right now!"
Seeing that Feng Yue was focused on selecting shipbuilding materials, Ye Luo stepped forward and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, if you see any materials for refining weapons, you can buy them as well."
Feng Yue: "I... I don't need it for now, but I do have a piece of fire copper that I can give to my third senior sister to take back. Perhaps it can be used on her spear blade."
"Okay, then I'll buy it."
Suddenly, everyone on the street was hurrying forward. Ye Luo stopped a female cultivator and asked curiously, "Excuse me, fairy, everyone seems to be in a hurry. Where are you all going?"
"It's a black market auction, of course!"
Ye Luo asked in confusion, "A black market auction?"
"That's right, cultivators from all walks of life have gathered here tonight to participate in this auction, and you didn't even know?"
"Oh, I see." Ye Luo bowed to the female cultivator and said, "Thank you for informing me, Fairy!"
The female cultivator waved her hand and smiled, "You're welcome. I'll take my leave now."
"good."
Ye Luo looked ahead thoughtfully, then walked towards Cen Feng and Feng Yue not far away, "Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, let's not browse the market stalls anymore, come with me!"
Feng Yue asked, "Where are we going?"
Ye Luo patted the folding fan in her hand, "Let's go to the black market auction and join in the fun, maybe we'll find something good there!"
An auction?!
Cen Feng became excited upon hearing this and urged, "Okay, let's go!"
