    “Keep up the good work, you won’t go unrewarded.” Pei Jinye didn’t care much about the money.


    But Wan Youcai wished he could bow until he exhausted himself.


    “Boss, I’ve just found out. Recently, those families in Sword Pavilion are not selling Advanced Spirit Soil to the public… They are also secretly buying Spirit Soil from Loose Cultivators, it seems they have made significant discoveries regarding Spiritual Objects.”


    As other passersby appeared on the street, Wan Youcai hurriedly closed his mouth, waiting for them to leave before continuing, “I also found out that two Loose Cultivators have Advanced Spirit Soil, but whether they are willing to sell, I still need some time.”


    “No need, just show me the way.” Pei Jinye disliked hassle.


    “Yes, this way please.”


    Wan Youcai led the way, sharing the intelligence he had gathered: “That Elder Zhong reached Extraordinary Ninth Rank ten years ago and has a small reputation in Yunmeng Lake…


    Mainly because he keeps a low profile and never involves himself in external affairs. However, Elder Zhong’s skills in dealing with Spiritual Objects are quite impressive. He was the one who pioneered the purification of Ice Bud Crystals… It was quite sensational in Yunmeng Lake at that time.


    Even Sword Pavilion extended an olive branch, but for some reason, whether the talk wasn’t good or not, Elder Zhong did not agree to go to Sword Pavilion, and even declined other powerful families’ invitations, so he is praised in the martial world for not being greedy for fame and fortune…”


    They hurried on their way.


    The island was interconnected in a well-organized layout.


    Zhong Wanhao’s house was located in the western part of Yunmeng Lake.


    It was a quadrangle courtyard by the sea with a nice view.


    Wan Youcai went to knock on the door.


    But no one in the courtyard responded.


    “Boss, this…”


    Wan Youcai thought they might be unlucky today and that Elder Zhong was not at home.


    However, Pei Jinye appeared nonchalant, casually sending a stream of Sword Intent into the courtyard to transmit a message,


    In a moment,


    Footsteps could be heard from inside the courtyard.


    With a “click,” the sound of the big lock behind the door being opened followed, and an old man in traditional Tang attire peeked through the crack.


    His triangular eyes were quite captivating.


    Especially since the value above his head had already exceeded five million, indicating a genuine Star Space Level Strongman!


    Zhong Wanhao directly ignored Wan Youcai.


    Didn’t even glance at him.


    Instead, his gaze was fixed on Pei Jinye.


    He coldly said, “You come uninvited, what do you want?”


    Pei Jinye bowed his hands, “I heard that Master Zhong has profound insights in cultivation. I wonder if you are willing to sell some Spirit Soil, we can discuss the price.”


    However, before he could finish,


    Zhong Wanhao immediately shouted angrily, “Not selling! How many times do I have to say, don’t covet the skills I depend on for a living, scram scram scram!”


    After speaking, he shot a glance at Wan Youcai, threatening, “I’ve warned you, don’t cause me trouble. Next time, I’ll take your life.”


    Under Wan Youcai’s pale face, the door was slammed shut.


    “Elder…”


    This time Wan Youcai was genuinely frightened, stuttering as he looked to Pei Jinye for help.


    “Let’s go, to the next one.”


    Pei Jinye did not trouble him.


    But before the two could walk out of the alley, the door behind them suddenly opened again.


    Zhong Wanhao’s voice came out, “Hold on. We can still talk.”


    Wan Youcai was obviously scared of this old man.


    After all, although he doesn’t care for fame and fortune, his temper is indeed odd, and not even Sword Pavilion is taken seriously by him. Such a significant figure could easily kill him without him being able to fight back.


    Pei Jinye was invited back again.


    Zhong Wanhao’s face rarely showed a hint of a smile.


    “May I have the honor of knowing your esteemed name?”


    “Sun Xingzhe.”


    “So it’s Master Sun.” Zhong Wanhao’s friendly smiling face made Wan Youcai feel very unreal.


    “Come in and have a chat.”


    Zhong Wanhao turned sideways and gestured for him to enter.


    Wan Youcai indicated that he would wait outside.


    Pei Jinye nodded and went inside.


    The door closed.


    Wan Youcai touched his back, unknowingly breaking out in a cold sweat.


    Zhong Wanhao’s courtyard was filled with various strange flowers and plants, including grafted ones.


    Even in the pond, there were some blood-red lotuses, budding and about to bloom, somewhat beautiful.


    “Please have a seat, Master Sun.”


    Zhong Wanhao extended his hand and then sat on a cushion, seriously saying, “Just now, Master Sun mentioned wanting Spirit Soil, are you also a Plant Cultivator by any chance?”


    “On behalf of someone else.”


    Pei Jinye casually gave a reason.


    He felt no need to explain further.


    Seeing the bizarre plants in the courtyard earlier indeed made him sense an extraordinary spiritual energy… This suggested that the eccentric Elder Zhong indeed had some skills.


    “So it’s on behalf of someone else? Since Master Sun needs Advanced Spirit Soil, the items you intend to grow must be of high value…” Zhong Wanhao chuckled, “But as you understand, Spirit Soil is now more expensive than gold, getting it is very hard…”


    “Let’s talk conditions.” Pei Jinye, seeing him beating around the bush, spoke calmly.


    Zhong Wanhao laughed softly, lowering his voice, “I could sell it to you, but I wonder if Master Sun has any Wood Attribute treasures?”


    Pei Jinye’s expression suddenly turned cold: “You’re spying on me!”


    Zhong Wanhao gestured downwards with his hand reassuringly and said, “No need to be alarmed, Master Sun.”


    He slightly lifted his hand.


    A seed that looked like a bloody eyeball suddenly split open in the center of his palm.


    “This is a rare object I obtained years ago; it’s of the Wood Attribute, so it can sense the strong Wood Attribute on you.”


    “And so?”


    Pei Jinye, showing no expression, stood still, watching him intently.


    “So this is a belated fate. You want Spirit Soil, I can provide it, all I need is to borrow the treasure on you for just one month.”


    Zhong Wanhao spoke frankly.


    “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I’ve indeed encountered such treasures, but I haven’t brought them with me,” Pei Jinye said regretfully.


    However, Zhong Wanhao seemed not to hear, and with a wave of his hand.


    A pound of Spirit Soil appeared on the table.


    Confidently he said, “Master Sun might want to check the quality of this Spirit Soil first. I can guarantee it’s even better than what Sword Pavilion has, and if you agree, I can deliver five pounds to you every month.”


    “Allow me to consider it further,” Pei Jinye’s tone softened.


    “I see…” Zhong Wanhao looked somewhat disappointed but still said, “No worries, I will be here all month. If Master Sun makes up his mind, just come find me, the offer I made will always stand.”


    He stood up to see him off.

    Watching Pei Jinye’s figure leave.


    When he closed the door again, a vine sprouted frantically from the blood-colored seed in his hand.


    Zhong Wanhao’s expression changed subtly: “Are you saying he has a Wood Attribute treasure on him? Does that mean, if you Devour him, you could evolve to a higher Life Level?”


    Thinking this.


    Zhong Wanhao’s breathing quickened.
