Chapter 767 Refining the Sword Orb (2/2)

Zhou Yuan fiddled with the empty spatial bag at his waist with a bitter look on his face.

It’s the Saint experts of the sacred race’s fault for messing up the space transportation!

Zhou Yuan clenched his teeth, eyes gleaming with malice. He would remember this!

While Zhou Yuan was feeling distressed, two beautiful figures were approaching from outside the courtyard. It was Yi Qiushui and her personal guard, Zhao Yue.

Noticing them, Zhou Yuan moved his body a little and immediately reappeared in front of them.

“Is brother Zhou used to living here?” Yi Qiushui asked with a smile.

“It’s pretty good.”

Zhao Yue, who was behind Yi Qiushui, slightly pursed her lips and muttered, “Of course you’re good, but our Yi clan has become the laughing stock of Xuanzhou City.”

Zhou Yuan cleared his throat and remarked, “What would those ignorant people know?”

Zhao Yue rolled her eyes.

The entire Yi clan was saying that they had never seen such a thick-skinned man before, and it was indeed true.

Yi Qiushui curiously studied Zhou Yuan. His carefree and indifferent attitude did not seem fake at all.

She patted the spatial bag at her waist, and streams of light flashed out. Several golden boxes landed on the ground. “These are all the materials you need.”

Zhou Yuan’s face immediately lit up with joy. Hunyuan Heaven was indeed truly blessed by heaven. He was able to gather all the materials needed to upgrade the Ancestral Dragon Scriptures in Xiaoxuan Prefecture alone.

It should be said that Yaoyao had been searching in the Cangxuan Sect for a long time but still hadn’t acquired them all.

“Thank you.” Zhou Yuan expressed his gratitude.

Yi Qiushui shook her head and joked, “These materials are very rare. Some of them aren’t even found in the Yi clan’s treasure trove. I had to ask Uncle Lui’s Mysterious Eagle Chamber of Commerce to gather all the materials. Brother Zhou, your price really isn’t low at all.”

Zhou Yuan’s face flushed with embarrassment, and he could only force a smile.

But immediately he sighed inwardly. All the materials needed for the Ancestral Dragon Scripture were ready, but the problem now was the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb technique.

Yi Qiushui, who was attentive and sensitive, naturally noticed the worried frown on Zhou Yuan’s face. “Brother Zhou, do you have other concerns?”

Zhou Yuan coughed out loud. This was something you chose to ask of your own initiative.

“There’s one more thing that I’d like to ask Qiushui for help with.” Zhou Yuan felt rather ashamed to say this. “Right now I also need some divine treasure to refine the Qi of Aged Gold.”

Zhao Yue’s eyes went wide, and she glared at Zhou Yuan.

“Don’t worry, I won’t take them for free. I’ll exchange half of the high-grade Divine Dwelling medicines for it!” Zhou Yuan hurriedly added.

Zhao Yue laughed. The Yi clan will only give you the one hundred high-grade Divine Dwelling medicines after you win the Prefecture Lord battle. But you already think it’s yours?

Yi Qiushui knitted her brows, gazing directly at Zhou Yuan, who also did not evade her eye contact. She could see a look of helplessness in his eyes but not any guilty conscience.

Yi Qiushui was silent for a good while before she explained, “Brother Zhou, we have already offered such a high price to ask for your help. If I were to give you other resources, I am worried about how to explain to the clan.”

Zhou Yuan scratched his head and smiled helplessly. “I understand.”

“I can’t take things from the clan any more, but I have my own secret stash that I can lend to brother Zhou.”

Zhou Yuan stared at Yi Qiushui in stunned silence and didn’t know what to say for a good while.

“Miss!” Zhao Yue couldn’t help but overstep.

Yi Qiushui waved her beautiful hand. “I will ask someone to bring them over later.”

While speaking, she took a deep look at Zhou Yuan before turning and leaving with Zhao Yue, who was furious.

Zhou Yuan stood where he was, gazing at Yi Qiushui’s beautiful and elegant silhouette as she left. He muttered, “What an amazing person...”

It was clearly just a mutually beneficial transaction, but Yi Qiushui had instead made Zhou Yuan owe her a favour. Now, Zhou Yuan really had to fight with all his strength in the Prefecture Lord battle. After all, if he were to lose, all his face would be destroyed.

The key point was that he couldn’t say that Yi Qiushui deliberately planned this. Her way of making him constantly accumulate debt had deliberately targeted his weak spot.

If Zhou Yuan was really heartless, Yi Qiushui’s move would have been useless, but she clearly saw through that Zhou Yuan wasn’t that kind of person.

The new head of the Yi clan is indeed extraordinary.

Zhou Yuan sighed and then waved his sleeve and stored away all the boxes.
