Chapter 108

Ying Wuji nodded and agreed to this request.

A favor debt is the most difficult to repay, especially when it's owed to a strong individual. However, compared to the method for replenishing vitality, one favor, or even ten, would be a small price to pay!

Mr. Bai then told Ying Wuji about Origin Mall.

To be honest, Ying Wuji didn't believe it at first. A divine object that can replenish vitality—ordinary cultivators would either hide it or use it as a treasured item. Selling it openly for a clear price, and only one hundred thousand spirit crystals at that, seemed unbelievable. However, given Mr. Bai's testimony and what had happened to him, the news was probably true. Ying Wuji didn't believe Mr. Bai would go out of his way to deceive him.

"That's right," Mr. Bai suddenly remembered something and added, "The Boss's Qiongyelu is sold one bottle every seven days. It's now the third day since I bought mine."

Ying Wuji nodded.

After discussing for a while, Ying Wuji bid farewell and left the imperial city.

"Old Bai, is it really okay to spread the news about Origin Mall?"

Watching Ying Wuji leave, Ji Wuhui seemed to be asking Old Bai, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, the news about the owner's shop will spread out sooner or later," Old Bai smiled. "Now we can use this news to gain the favor of a peak powerhouse. It's not a bad trade!"

...

"It seems that the so-called owner of Origin Mall is not an ordinary person."

On his way back, Ying Wuji was still pondering the information Mr. Bai had shared. It shouldn't be a trick. When Mr. Bai told him about Origin Mall, he hadn't revealed the identity of Luochuan. Based on the events in Jiuyao City, Ying Wuji had already guessed the real situation. The mysterious shop owner was likely the hidden powerhouse behind these incidents!

While deep in thought, Ying Wuji had already returned to Zuiyuexuan without realizing it.

"I'm back. What's the result?" Murong Haitang asked, unable to contain her curiosity after seeing Ying Wuji return. Ying Wuji had a perpetually stoic face, making it hard to read his emotions.

Ying Wuji nodded, "Mr. Bai told me how to replenish my vitality."

Murong Haitang breathed a sigh of relief. If Mr. Bai had shared this, there should be hope to replenish vitality. Curious, she hesitated slightly before asking, "If it's convenient, could you share some details?"

Ying Wuji said, "Mr. Bai mentioned a shop in Jiuyao City that sells Qiongyelu, which can replenish vitality." He then added, "One bottle costs one hundred thousand spirit crystals."

Murong Haitang: ??

Murong Haitang naturally felt he was joking, but immediately dismissed that thought since Ying Wuji was never one to joke.

Still uncertain, Murong Haitang asked, "Are you really not joking?"

Ying Wuji nodded, "This is what Mr. Bai and His Majesty told me. They wouldn't lie to me."

"Then when are you going to that store?" Murong Haitang asked.

"Tomorrow morning," Ying Wuji replied after some thought. "I suspect the shop owner might be behind the recent incidents in Jiuyao City, so I want to check it out first."

Ying Wuji then shared his suspicions with Murong Haitang.

After hearing Ying Wuji's recount, Murong Haitang couldn't help but fall into thought. If this was true, then the mysterious powerhouse must be planning something. As for what that might be, it seemed obvious.

It must be an ancient relic that was about to open! But even if they could take out divine objects that replenish vitality, was there really something in the ancient ruins that could tempt them? Or was this all a ruse to disrupt and attract various forces?
