Chu Tianyao smiled and said, "Miss Xiao, my health is much better now."
Xiao Ruoli nodded. "In that case...you should leave here in a few days..."
The other party's cold attitude made Chu Tianyao feel inexplicably sad.
He began, “Miss Xiao…we are old acquaintances. Not long ago, you saved my life…if you need anything, I will do my best to help.”
Xiao Ruoli said calmly, "No need. What I'm doing is very dangerous. You don't need to get involved... As for the past, just forget about it."
Chu Tianyao felt a slight pang in his heart, a strange bitterness.
He didn't know why he felt this way.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Ruoli was his first woman, or perhaps it was because Xiao Ruoli saved his life.
“Miss Xiao…you must be afraid that you’ll encounter danger if you ask me to leave. Heh…in the end, it’s because my cultivation level isn’t strong enough.”
"But according to what Miss Xiao said, she will be facing great danger... How can I abandon her at such a time?"
“This Ning Zeyuan seems to be a very powerful and wealthy businessman, and he also seems to have a close relationship with Miss Xiao... Perhaps I can think of a way through him.”
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "Miss Xiao... I understand! I will be leaving in a few days."
Xiao Ruoli gave Chu Tianyao a deep look and said softly, "Take care!"
After saying that, she turned and left without lingering.
Chu Tianyao took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and continued cultivating.
......
On this day, a major event occurred within the Yan Yang Sect.
The ten elders of the Yan Yang Sect gathered here.
Even the Grand Elder Ximen Jie, who had been traveling far away, returned to the sect.
The ten elders stood at the entrance to the Forbidden Land of Blazing Sun...
They are waiting for Sect Master Yan Xiao to emerge from seclusion!
More than an hour later, as the stone door of the forbidden chamber slowly opened, a surge of scorching and pure spiritual energy erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly scorching and distorting the surrounding air.
Immediately afterwards, a figure clad in a fiery red robe, with a tall and straight posture like a pine tree, slowly stepped out amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
Yan Xiao, the sect leader of the Yan Yang Sect, has been in seclusion for ten years!
He finally emerged from seclusion today, and his demeanor is more composed and profound than before.
Yan Xiao's eyes were actually crimson... Crimson Flame Sun Eyes, this was clearly a phenomenon that would only appear when the Flame Sun Technique was cultivated to its greatest perfection.
With each step he took, he exuded a scorching pressure... revealing his formidable strength at the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Welcome back, Sect Master!" Upon seeing this, all the elders immediately bowed in greeting.
Yan Xiao said calmly, "Please, everyone, no need for formalities... I have been in seclusion for ten years and have no time to attend to the affairs of the sect. You have all worked hard."
Since the battle with Xiao Kuangsheng in the capital ten years ago, all the sect leaders of the Sun, Moon and Star sects have been knocked down from their cultivation levels.
After this battle, the three sect leaders almost simultaneously entered a state of seclusion...
Although they were knocked down from their cultivation levels, they were not discouraged in the slightest.
It should be noted that during the final battle with the Dragon Emperor Xiao Kuangsheng, the three sect leaders each gained insights from the brink of life and death.
The three sect leaders were well aware that as long as they could digest these insights, there was a good chance they could recover their cultivation level or even advance further!
On this day, Yan Xiao, the sect leader of the Yan Yang Sect, was the first to emerge from seclusion.
After ten years of arduous cultivation, he not only recovered from the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm to the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
He went even further, reaching the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm!
It is no exaggeration to say that Yan Xiao is already one of the ten strongest people in the world.
"Why are there only you? Where is Li Tingting?" Yan Xiao looked at the ten elders in front of him and suddenly asked.
Seventh Elder Wang Qian smiled sadly, "Sect Master, you've finally emerged from seclusion. Our Yan Yang Sect has been bullied to the point of being outdone!"
"Eleventh Elder Li Tingting has been murdered..."
"What?!" Yan Xiao was slightly taken aback, then unleashed a terrifying aura!
The surrounding air was engulfed by the sea of fire, crackling and hissing as if it were about to explode at any moment.
"Who dares to offend my Yan Yang Sect?!"
Second Elder Cheng Yaoyin said, "This thief is named Chu Tianyao, and he seems to be a rogue cultivator."
"This person may have some fortuitous opportunities. Judging from the situation on the ground... he defeated Elder Li Tingting in just two moves."
"Two moves?! Has this person already reached the Nascent Soul stage?" Yan Xiao frowned slightly. "A rogue cultivator actually possesses such strength."
Cheng Yaoyin shook his head. "He should not have reached the Nascent Soul stage yet... but his combat strength is probably close to that of the Grand Elder."
Ximen Jie said calmly, "It's a pity I was traveling far away before, otherwise I would have killed this thief with my own hands."
Yan Xiao said in a deep voice, "Since Chu Tianyao has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, he is nothing more than an ant in my eyes."
"Pass down the order: all Yan Yang Sect disciples, search for this person's whereabouts with all your might! I will kill Chu Tianyao."
......
Gu Ningcheng
Ning Zeyuan Mansion
"Phew... If I continue to lie low and try to improve my cultivation level, it will be too slow!" Chu Tianyao sighed softly. "Let's find this Mr. Ning."
Chu Tianyao made up his mind and went to the main hall to visit Ning Zeyuan.
Ning Zeyuan was calculating the financial turnover of the past few months when he saw Chu Tianyao walk in.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Young Master Chu, is there something you need?"
Chu Tianyao nodded and cupped his hands in greeting to Ning Zeyuan. "Mr. Ning, I can tell you are a successful businessman. I would like to make a deal with you."
Ning Zeyuan was somewhat surprised, but still said, "Young Master Chu, what kind of deal do you intend to make? Please tell me."
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Ning, I need supplies worth about three million crystals."
"Give me crystals directly, or you can give me Golden Core Realm magic weapons and spiritual medicines of equivalent value. As long as you provide the supplies... one day later, I will give you supplies worth 4.5 million crystals, including principal and interest."
What do you think of this deal?
Ning Zeyuan fell silent. "Three million crystals of supplies is not a small amount. Even a Golden Core elder of a sect would be quite good if he could accumulate four or five hundred thousand crystals in a hundred years."
"Even though I've built a large business empire in the Qionghuang Dynasty... three million crystals is still two months' profit..."
"Is it really safe to lend this to Chu Tianyao like this? What's even more outrageous is that he actually said he could give me a 50% return in just one day!"
"This sounds like a complete fantasy..."
Ning Zeyuan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Young Master Chu, I wonder what method you intend to use to turn these three million crystals into four and a half million in one day?"
Chu Tianyao smiled faintly, "Mr. Ning, this involves my secrets, and I cannot disclose them."
"You don't need to worry. I will still leave the supplies with you after I receive them, so you don't need to worry about the safety of these crystal supplies."
