Chapter 242: Chapter 243: Seven-Colored Phoenix Blood Grass

Staring at the contents of the Jade Box, Tang Yunxuan froze, her expression one of utter astonishment!

Inside the Jade Box was a piece of animal hide, and the words inscribed upon it were incredibly eye-catching: "Saint-Level Combat Skill: Ten Extremes Godslaying Technique."

Ye Wushuang noticed Tang Yunxuan’s expression and turned to look. "What’s in the Jade Box?"

"Why don’t you guess!"

Tang Yunxuan was in a huff. She put the box away immediately, as if trying to annoy Ye Wushuang and vent some of her frustration.

Of course, there was another reason: she was afraid that if Ye Wushuang found out what it was, he would take the Ten Extremes Godslaying Technique back.

Combat Skills were commonly known to be divided into Ninth Grade and Spirit Level. However, as the daughter of a prominent family, Tang Yunxuan knew that above the Spirit Level, there were also Saint-Level Combat Skills and even Sacred Secrets!

Sacred Secrets were things of the Great Saints, existing only in legends, and she had no idea if they were even real!

But as for Saint-Level Combat Skills, she knew for a fact that they did exist. They were countless times more powerful than Spirit-Level Combat Skills, terrifying beyond compare!

And although the Ten Extremes Godslaying Technique was a Saint-Level Lower-Grade Combat Skill, even cultivators in the Yin Yang Realm or the legendary Nirvana Realm would go mad for it.

Tang Yunxuan was overjoyed, but she suppressed it masterfully, not letting any of it show on her face.

Ye Wushuang stared at her for a long moment, but when he couldn’t discern anything, he turned to Yangg Qing’er. "Qing’er, go ahead and see what you got."

"Okay, Brother Ye."

Yangg Qing’er nodded softly and opened her Jade Box. A seven-colored light suddenly burst forth.

CHIRP!

A cry rang out as a seven-colored shadow emerged from the box, transforming into the spectral image of a seven-colored Phoenix that began to drift through the open space of the great hall.

A rich, medicinal fragrance filled the air!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Several pairs of eyes snapped toward the source. Inside the Jade Box lay a small, seven-colored blade of grass.

An Ancient Medicine King: the Seven-Colored Phoenix Blood Grass!

Everyone was stunned. None of them had expected to find such a treasure in the Divine Hall.

Ye Wushuang recalled how obtaining the newly ripened Ancient Medicine King, the Yin Yang Dao Fruit, had granted him the heaven-defying Tai Chi Pattern.

This Seven-Colored Phoenix Blood Grass before them was fully mature. One could only imagine how precious it was!

This came as a blow to Tang Yunxuan. She hadn’t expected Yangg Qing’er’s Jade Box to also contain a priceless treasure—an Ancient Medicine King that could enhance one’s Cultivation, no less.

At this thought, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment toward Ye Wushuang.

’Both of those treasures should have been mine, but Ye Wushuang snatched one away and gave it to another woman!’

’Ye Wushuang, I hate you!’

Tang Yunxuan glared at Ye Wushuang, her hatred for him deepening even further.

She finally looked away, deciding it was better not to watch, lest she get even angrier.

However, even she hadn’t realized that ever since meeting Ye Wushuang, she, who had always been so noble and refined, was constantly losing her temper.

Yangg Qing’er stared at the item in her hands. She, too, knew just how precious it was.

’No, I can’t take this. This Ancient Medicine King will be of immense help to Brother Ye. He craves power, and with this, his strength will surely see a great boost.’

With that thought, Yangg Qing’er’s mind was made up. She looked up and closed the Jade Box.

The spectral, seven-colored Phoenix in the air returned to the Jade Box, as if it were being sealed away again.

"Brother Ye!"

Yangg Qing’er called out, holding the Jade Box out to Ye Wushuang.

This action made Tang Yunxuan start. She stared at Yangg Qing’er with a look of pure surprise. ’She’s not going to keep the Ancient Medicine King?’

Ye Wushuang was also taken aback for a moment before he smiled. "You should keep it for now."

"But..."

Yangg Qing’er was about to say something, but Ye Wushuang cut her off. "Qing’er, this is your fortunate encounter. No one can take it from you, and no one would dare!"

Understanding Yangg Qing’er’s intentions, Ye Wushuang was deeply moved. He resolved in his heart that he must never let this woman down.

’To have a woman like her, what more could a man ask for!’

Ye Wushuang felt incredibly lucky!

In the eyes of Dii Qingxue, however, things looked quite different.

Dii Qingxue’s eyes were fixed on the pair, filled with coldness and anger.

Still, she said nothing, turning her gaze toward Pann Wu instead.

Pann Wu had already gotten to his feet. He had received a giant axe that was a Half-Saint Soldier, and he looked overjoyed, as if he had found his perfect weapon.

Ye Wushuang motioned for Yangg Qing’er to put away the Jade Box, then glanced at Pann Wu before starting to search the great hall again.

’Giant Spirit True Blood!’

It was one of his main reasons for coming here, but he had searched everywhere and found no trace of it!

"Brother Ye, what are you looking for?"

Yangg Qing’er asked, puzzled, seeing Ye Wushuang looking all around.

Dii Qingxue and Tang Yunxuan also turned to look at him.

Ye Wushuang paid them no mind, his brow furrowed in thought. If he couldn’t find the Giant Spirit True Blood here, he probably wouldn’t find it anywhere else, and his Giant Spirit Dao Skill would be useless.

Just then, Pann Wu put away his giant axe and stepped forward. "The Lord Priest is looking for the Giant Spirit True Blood!"

’Giant Spirit True Blood?’

The three women frowned slightly, not understanding Ye Wushuang’s intentions, but they extended their Divine Sense to help in the search.

Ye Wushuang turned to Pann Wu and subconsciously glanced at the Dragon Cat.

The creature was perched lazily on Pann Wu’s shoulder, its eyes half-closed, though its shifty gaze darted around nonstop.

Ever since entering the Divine Hall, aside from its brief introduction of "Pann," it hadn’t made a peep. It hadn’t even reacted to the appearance of the Ancient Medicine King, which was far too abnormal.

It was acting as if nothing concerned it at all!

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed. "Dead Cat, you wouldn’t happen to know where the Giant Spirit True Blood is, would you?"

"What Giant Spirit True Blood? How would Lord Cat know about that?"

The Dragon Cat stretched lazily, putting on a bewildered expression.

This only made Ye Wushuang more suspicious. "You really don’t know?"

"Blast it all, kid! You dare question Lord Cat’s integrity? An honest, good cat like Lord Cat is an extinct species in this world, you know? Extinct!"

The Dragon Cat exclaimed with great agitation, acting for all the world as if it truly knew nothing!

’So it really isn’t here?’

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang’s brow sank. After a moment of silence, he looked up and said, "If you know, tell me where it is. I’ll make it worth your while."

"Lord Cat knows nothing."

The Dragon Cat averted its gaze, acting as if it were immune to temptation!

At that, a smirk suddenly tugged at the corner of Ye Wushuang’s mouth. "If you know, once we get the Giant Spirit True Blood, we’ll split it eighty-twenty. I get eighty, you get twenty!"

"Eighty-twenty? Kid, you’re too ruthless! No way! Fifty-fifty!"

The Dragon Cat instantly flew into a rage at Ye Wushuang’s words.

But it quickly realized its mistake and started cursing, "Blast it all, kid! You tricked Lord Cat!"

"Tell me where it is. If I have to find it myself, you’ll get nothing," Ye Wushuang sneered at the Dragon Cat’s outburst. He was now certain that the Giant Spirit True Blood was in the Divine Hall.

The creature must have discovered it long ago and was scheming to keep it all for itself, which was why it had shown no reaction earlier.

It was probably planning to sneak away and retrieve it after Ye Wushuang and the others had left.

Watching the indignant Dragon Cat, both Yangg Qing’er and Tang Yunxuan started laughing. Even Dii Qingxue’s icy eyes flickered with a hint of amusement.

"Fifty-fifty! Otherwise, Lord Cat would rather die than tell you, and then you won’t get it either."

Having been tricked by Ye Wushuang, the Dragon Cat didn’t seem to care. It casually polished its dragon horns with a paw, looking absolutely certain that Ye Wushuang would never find it on his own.

Ye Wushuang had searched multiple times and had indeed found no trace of it.

The Dragon Cat gloated, "Can’t find it, can you, kid? Let’s just go fifty-fifty. Lord Cat isn’t greedy."

But the moment the words left its mouth, Dii Qingxue responded coolly, "I know where it is."
