Xie Feixing confronts Ye Haochuan and Yin Xirou, demanding a secret manual. Ye Haochuan attempts to shield Yin Xirou and considers using a mysterious Silver Bell. Xie Feixing is suddenly summoned by an old woman named Boss Shadow, who is furious that the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame he retrieved is missing. Xie Feixing panics, unable to explain the absence of the flame, which Ye Haochuan secretly possesses. As Boss Shadow's power grows, she notices Ye Haochuan.

"Boss Shadow, do you have any other instructions?"

Xie Feixing asked respectfully, treading on thin ice.

"Who are these two people?"

The Old Woman maintained a faint expression, but a hint of fluctuation was still evident in her voice.

Damn it, this old hag, could she have noticed the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame in me?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, watching the Old Woman vigilantly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

This is the existence that makes Xie Feixing tremble, and wanting to kill him would be a mere flick of her hand, wouldn’t it?

"This kid has a Secret Manual I value, so I caught him for interrogation!"

Xie Feixing dared not hide anything, answering truthfully.

"Leave him here, then get out!"

The Old Woman ordered coldly, her expression frosty.

Xie Feixing was dumbfounded; though the Old Woman was extremely terrifying, she had never interfered in his affairs before. What’s happening today?

Could she be interested in the manual I mentioned?

Impossible, I didn’t even say what kind of manual it was, and given she has received terrifying legacies, she wouldn’t care for general Technique Manuals.

"What? Unwilling?"

The Old Woman gave a cold snort, a chilling aura instantly swept towards Xie Feixing.

"Wouldn’t dare!"

Xie Feixing was drenched in cold sweat, not daring to hesitate for a moment, leaving Ye Haochuan and Yin Xirou behind, turning to escape.

Actually, the Old Woman only wanted Ye Haochuan left behind, but he didn’t bother with the detail, not daring to take Yin Xirou either.

Ye Haochuan and Yin Xirou regained their freedom but dared not move an inch, only watching the Old Woman with extreme caution.

The Old Woman’s terrifying pressure suddenly withdrew, clouds dissipated, and warm sunlight again spread over the earth.

However, Ye Haochuan and Yin Xirou still felt like they were in an ice cave, every part of their bodies chilled to the bone.

The Old Woman’s expression softened, her deep eyes quietly staring at Ye Haochuan’s face, pondering something unknown.

Damn it, could my charm be too overwhelming, even making this old lady fall for me?

Ye Haochuan’s heart was pounding.

He found himself a bit uneasy under her gaze, but somehow, he didn’t dislike the Old Woman’s eyes one bit.

Beside him, Yin Xirou watched quietly, inexplicably irritated, snorting coquettishly: "We’ve fallen into your hands, do with us as you please, but why act so peculiarly?"

Oh dear, she wasn’t even planning to make a move, why remind her?

Ye Haochuan broke into a cold sweat, wishing he could use his lips to seal Yin Xirou’s loose-talking mouth.

The Old Woman seemed to awaken, glancing at Yin Xirou, then surprisingly letting out a bitter laugh.

"The true Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame is on you, isn’t it?"

The Old Woman suddenly returned to her cold demeanor, addressing Ye Haochuan.

So she found out after all!

Ye Haochuan felt a chill in his heart.

He had no clue how the Old Woman detected it, but given the situation, continuing to hide it would likely backfire.

"Indeed, it’s on me. Let Xirou go, and I’ll give it to you, how about that?"

Ye Haochuan employed an old tactic, threatening.

She’s a woman after all, she can’t possibly threaten him with sharp edges the way Xie Feixing did, right?

"You’re quite the romantic!"

The Old Woman sighed, seeming to recall some past events.

After a long while, she finally said, "I don’t want your Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame, nor your lives!"

"You don’t want it?"

Ye Haochuan was bewildered, unable to comprehend the Old Woman’s meaning.

Given her earlier fury over Xie Feixing, the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame should be vitally important to her, how could she not need it?

"I only need you to use the Mystic Yellow Meteoric Flame to help me with one task, and I’ll let you leave safely." The Old Woman looked sincere.

"Really?"

Ye Haochuan found it hard to believe.

This Old Woman could make someone as fierce as Xie Feixing tremble like a tiger; she certainly isn’t a simple character, how could she let them go so easily?

"Do you think I have a need to deceive you?" The Old Woman said mockingly.

Ye Haochuan tugged at his mouth; those words clearly belittled them, yet it was the harsh reality.

With the Old Woman’s cultivation, killing them would be a simple gesture, no need for deceit indeed.

"Alright, what do you want me to do? Speak!"

"Follow me!"

The Old Woman dropped a sentence, walked to the edge of the cliff, and leapt down.

Ye Haochuan and Yin Xirou exchanged a glance, then followed suit, jumping down.

Halfway down the cliff, there was an entrance to a cave blocked by several ancient trees clinging to the cliff wall. It was evidently fortified with a Formation, concealing it from prying eyes.

Entering the cave, Ye Haochuan was instantly enveloped by an exotic fragrance, refreshing and soothing, making his entire body feel invigorated, as if every single pore was being nourished, singing with joy.

"It’s indeed a remarkably powerful cavern!"

Yin Xirou evidently felt the same and couldn’t help but exclaim.

"If we could cultivate here, our Boundary would soar up, wouldn’t it?"

Ye Haochuan was equally shocked, thinking that compared to this, the cave he was allotted at the South Sect was like a beggar’s hovel.

"If you wish, you can stay here and cultivate forever!"

The Old Woman suddenly spoke, seeming to have a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Alright, it seems this Old Woman really fancies me, wanting me to stay here with her in seclusion!

Ye Haochuan smiled bitterly inside, not responding.

The Old Woman said no more, leading the two further inside the cave.

At the center of the cavern, there was a pure white jade stone.

This jade stone was taller than a person, carved into a lifelike Pixiu, a finely crafted piece of art, with colorful lights flowing over it, dazzling and splendid.

Unfortunately, one of Pixiu’s front paws was forcefully chipped, marring its beauty, leaving one regretful.

"This jade stone is called Moonlight Fairy Jade, it’s of great use to me, help me turn it into liquid!"

The Old Woman wasted no words, straightforwardly stating.

"Moonlight Fairy Jade? Isn’t that a top-tier third-grade herb that can rapidly boost cultivation?"

Yin Xirou’s knowledge of herbs was evidently impressive, immediately stating its function.

"Indeed, it’s said that Moonlight Fairy Jade can also be used to refine the Universe God-Melting Pill, a pill that supposedly elevates any cultivator’s cultivation directly to the Void God Peak level after consumption."

Ye Haochuan’s eyes burned as he looked at the Pixiu sculpture, his heart beating ferociously.

Earlier, he felt regret over the damaged Pixiu sculpture, but now, he wished he could rush in and devour the entire sculpture.

The Universe God-Melting Pill is practically a cheat divine artifact.

Imagine if he took the Universe God-Melting Pill now, his cultivation would shoot straight to Void God Peak level, no longer needing to infiltrate the South Sect for so long; he could storm into the South Sect, grab the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images, and leave.

As for people like Xie Feixing, he could teach them a lesson in mere moments, avoiding the previous helplessness.
