 Chapter 2528: The World-Class Ninth-Order Origin Crystal

Xiao Yue awakening her talent is a joyous event, but it was also within Lin Moyu's expectations. 

With Xiao Yue's innate Jade Soul, it was inevitable for her to awaken her talent; not awakening would be abnormal. 

However, he did not expect that her talent awakening would attract someone else's attention. 

A figure flew in from afar at an astonishing speed, arriving in an instant. 

Lin Moyu took a step forward, positioning himself between Xiao Yue and the newcomer, blocking the way. 

The newcomer was a middle-aged man wearing a green robe, with the cultivation of a mid-level Heavenly Venerate. 

Seeing the newcomer, Lin Moyu frowned slightly. 

Although he knew the other party had no relation to the green-robed elder, seeing the green robe still made Lin Moyu uncomfortable. 

After all, the green-robed elder and his wife had taken his wife as their disciple without his consent. 

Even if there were great benefits, it was a fact that they did so without his permission, which Lin Moyu disliked. 

Consequently, Lin Moyu didn't like the green-robed middle-aged man at first glance. 

"What do you want?" Lin Moyu didn't even address him as a senior and directly asked. 

The middle-aged man ignored Lin Moyu and kept muttering, "Innate Jade Soul, Innate Jade Soul!" 

Lin Moyu showed some impatience and raised his voice, "Who are you? What do you want?" 

His voice turned into a soul sound, startling the other party. 

The middle-aged man finally reacted and whispered, "Young man, is this young lady your friend?" 

Lin Moyu looked at him without answering. 

The middle-aged man seemed to realize his tone was inappropriate and immediately corrected himself, "I am Peng Yun of the Qingyun Sect." 

The Qingyun Sect is a subordinate of the Seven-Colored Sect, part of the green branch among the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet branches. 

In this region, it is also a powerful sect. 

Lin Moyu asked again, "What do you want?" 

Peng Yun replied, "I wish to take this young lady as my disciple..." 

Lin Moyu interrupted him, "She is my disciple. Please leave." 

Peng Yun was stunned, not expecting Lin Moyu to refuse so bluntly. 

After thinking it over, he realized that someone with an innate Jade Soul would naturally have a master. 

Peng Yun didn't give up and asked again, "May I know which sect you belong to? Do you know the value of an innate Jade Soul?" 

Lin Moyu replied, "It's none of your business. If you have nothing else, please leave and don't disturb my disciple's cultivation." 

Peng Yun's expression turned unhappy. Although he shouldn't snatch someone else's disciple, he was just expressing his intention. If Lin Moyu disagreed, he could refuse. 

However, Lin Moyu's attitude was so firm that it made Peng Yun feel a bit embarrassed. 

Generally, Heavenly Venerates value their reputation. 

At the same time, Peng Yun felt that Lin Moyu seemed to have some hostility towards him, even though they had never met before. 

Peng Yun asked in a deep voice, "Have we met before?" 

Lin Moyu shook his head, "This is our first meeting." 

Peng Yun was even more puzzled, "Then why do you have hostility towards me?" 

Lin Moyu replied, "I have no issue with you; I just don't like your robe." 

Peng Yun was stunned. Not liking his robe... Did his robe offend Lin Moyu? 

With some embarrassment, Peng Yun asked, "What do you mean?" 

Lin Moyu replied, "Literally, I don't like your robe. I don't like any green robes." 

Peng Yun found this amusing, "You have an interesting personality." 

Lin Moyu shook his head, "If you have nothing else, please leave. Don't linger in front of me, or I might lose my temper." 

Peng Yun didn't leave but thickened his face and said, "To be honest, I've always wanted to take a disciple but haven't found a suitable candidate. If..." 

Lin Moyu's gaze turned cold, "What? Do you want to snatch her?" 

Peng Yun shook his head, "Of course not. I just want to discuss with you. If you are willing to let her go, I can offer some compensation." 

"Moreover, I am from the Qingyun Sect, which is backed by the Seven-Colored Sect. This young lady, with her innate Jade Soul, has excellent cultivation potential. If she joins the Seven-Colored Sect, her future will be limitless." 

Lin Moyu suddenly laughed, "Compensation, right?" 

Peng Yun immediately nodded, "Yes, name your price." 

Lin Moyu made an outrageous demand, "Give me a world-class ninth-order origin crystal, and I'll let you take her." 

Peng Yun was stunned. Lin Moyu's demand was so outrageous that even a dragon wouldn't make such a demand. 

In the next second, he wanted to curse. A world-class ninth-order origin crystal? Why don't you go rob one? 

Not only could he not produce one, but even the Seven-Colored Sect couldn't. 

Not to mention the Seven-Colored Sect, even the Cold Water Holy Land couldn't produce one. 

Peng Yun's mouth twitched, "Your demand is too much." 

Lin Moyu sneered, "Can't produce it? Then why are you still here?" 

Peng Yun said, "Not only can I not produce it, but even the Cold Water Holy Land can't. A world-class ninth-order origin crystal only exists in legends." 

Lin Moyu looked disdainful, "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Stop making excuses." 

Peng Yun's expression turned extremely ugly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he cupped his fists and said, "Since you are unwilling, I won't force it. Take care!" 

After saying that, he turned and left. 

Before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Yue and then at the little ox resting nearby. 

Peng Yun's appearance was like an interlude. After he left, Xiao Wu leaned against Lin Moyu and said, "Master, that guy seems a bit off." 

Xiao Wu's intuition was sharp, but she had always been carefree, going smoothly in the Great World, with everyone treating her well, so she didn't need to use her intuition. 

Lin Moyu smiled, "Tell me, what's off?" 

Xiao Wu said, "That guy said he wanted to take Xiao Yue as his disciple, but his gaze didn't look like that of a master looking at a disciple. It was more like looking at a piece of merchandise." 

Lin Moyu nodded, "Your intuition is correct. He indeed had that intention." 

"Moreover, he will likely come back." 

Xiao Wu said, "By the time he comes back, we'll be long gone. He won't find us." 

Lin Moyu shook his head, "He left a mark on the little ox. He can find us anytime." 

The little ox, who was resting, suddenly woke up, "What mark?" 

Lin Moyu smiled, "Someone left a mark on you just now. The other party is a Heavenly Venerate, so you won't find it." 

The little ox exclaimed, "What should we do? Master, can you help remove the mark?" 

Lin Moyu said, "No need to worry. Just leave it. I want to see what he plans to do." 

"People from the Qingyun Sect like to wear green robes, right? Let's show them how ugly green robes can be." 

Although Peng Yun had been polite, Lin Moyu sensed that he had other intentions. 

He didn't genuinely want to take Xiao Yue as a disciple. As Xiao Wu said, his gaze was more like looking at merchandise. 

Moreover, he had said something when he first saw Xiao Yue that made Lin Moyu feel Peng Yun had ulterior motives. 

The fact that he left a mark on the little ox indicated he would come back. Lin Moyu wanted to see what he planned to do.
