"With the cultivation of the fourth level of Divinity Palace, he was able to kill an expert of the first level of Out of Body Realm. Even we, the Dark Mantle, are reluctant to make a move against such a person!"
In the residential area, the elder of the Dark Mantle Palace looked solemn.
He had heard from the old man of Heaven Pain that he knew Ye Qing's situation. If they wanted to kill such an amazing genius, they would have to pay a terrible price!
"Give me a price!"
The old man of Heaven Pain was straightforward. He didn't want to talk nonsense with the Dark Mantle Palace. Since he was here, he was fully prepared!
"Our Dark Mantle Palace in the Yuncang Empire only has one Nine-Star Absolute Assassin. If we want to kill Ye Qing, he must be the one to do it!"
The elder paused and continued, "You should know the price you have to pay to hire a Nine-Star Absolute Assassin. Brother Heaven Pain, let me see your sincerity first."
"Alright, I'll show you my sincerity!"
The old man of Heaven Pain smiled confidently. The next moment, he took out a glittering pearl that was blooming with brilliant light!
"Hiss!"
In the room, everyone from the Dark Mantle Palace sucked in a breath of cold air. Soon after, their eyes lit up!
The thing that the old man of Heaven Pain took out was very valuable. It was the most precious treasure of the Dragon Clan, the Upper Grade Spiritual Rank Magic Treasure, the Sea Calming Pearl!
It was said that the Dragon Clan had many incredible treasures, and the Sea Calming Pearl was one of them.
As the top of the Upper Grade Spiritual Rank Magic Treasure, the Sea Calming Pearl was famous and had the power to control the sea.
The value of the Sea Calming Pearl was only slightly lower than a Lower Grade Divine Weapon.
"I wonder if a Sea Calming Pearl is enough to hire a Nine-Star Absolute Assassin?"
The old man of Heaven Pain asked with a smile. His face was full of confidence. In his opinion, a Sea Calming Pearl was completely enough.
He had been in the Dragon Clan for thousands of years and only had one Upper Grade Spiritual Rank Sea Calming Pearl. It was the best treasure he had and he had already offered it.
"In principle, a Sea Calming Pearl is enough to hire a Nine-Star Absolute Assassin. However, the target this time is not ordinary. You have to pay a higher price!"
The elder from the Dark Mantle Branch Hall pondered for a moment before slowly replying.
The target this time was different from the previous ones. He was a true heaven's chosen one who possessed the ability to fight above his level. The Dark Mantle Branch Palace had to bear a great risk in order to assassinate him. Correspondingly, they would have to ask for more treasures.
"Alright, I'll add on another five thousand high-grade spirit-grade Soul Recuperating Pills. Is that enough?"
The Heaven Pain Old Man gritted his teeth and said with a pained expression.
Five thousand high-grade spirit rank Soul Recuperation Pills were his savings of several thousand years. Spending all of them in one go was simply painful to the extreme.
"Alright, deal!"
The Dark Mantle Division did not continue to haggle. Old Man Heaven Pain's offer was already very sincere.
"When can I get the news of that kid's death?" Old Man Heaven Pain asked.
"There's no need to rush. Pay half of the deposit first, and we'll naturally choose the right time to act."
The elder of the Dark Mantle Palace smiled. Cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The deal this time was considered a success. The Nine Star Absolute assassins of the Dark Mantle Branch Palace had not personally killed anyone for a year!
The Dark Mantle was an unimaginably large organization. Even the elder of the Dark Mantle Branch Palace did not know where the headquarters of the Dark Mantle was.
He only knew that there was a Dark Mantle Branch Palace in a medium empire that was responsible for contacting them directly.
The assassins of the Dark Mantle were divided into four grades, Heaven, Death, Earth and Absolute.
The four grades of assassins could be further subdivided into nine grades.
Among them, the One-Star Absolute assassins were the weakest, while the Nine-Star Absolute assassins were the most tyrannical existences.
In the Azure Cloud Empire, a Nine-Star Absolute assassin could easily kill an expert who had just entered the Out of Aperture realm!
"Alright, I'll wait for your news!"
In the room, the Heaven Pain Old Man was very satisfied. He paid half of the deposit and immediately flew up into the sky, leaving the Imperial City of the Azure Cloud Empire.
… …
The Azure Cloud Empire had a vast territory. There were all kinds of mysterious places that contained unknown powers. There were also many opportunities and innumerable treasures of heaven and earth.
Just as Ye Qing was cultivating in seclusion, something big happened in the Azure Cloud Empire that caused a great uproar.
It was rumored that there was an upheaval in the Myriad Demons Mountain of the Azure Cloud Empire. A thirty-thousand-year-old sacred medicine had appeared!
The sacred medicine was called the Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide. It was the main ingredient to refine the Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Pill.
To Divinity Palace Realm experts, the Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Pill was a treasure that they yearned for even in their dreams. It could help them increase their cultivation and break through to the Out of Aperture realm.
The Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Pill was priceless. There was no market for it. In the vast Azure Cloud Empire, the number of Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Pills could be counted with one's fingers.
Even if some overlord forces had the Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Pill, they would never sell it. They would put it aside or keep it for their own outstanding geniuses.
Therefore, the appearance of the thirty-thousand-year-old sacred medicine, Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide, caused a great uproar in the Azure Cloud Empire. Many geniuses went to the Myriad Demons Mountain to fight for the Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide.
In fact, many outstanding alchemists knew that a ten-thousand-year-old Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide was enough to refine the Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Pill.
The Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide that appeared in the Myriad Demons Mountain was at the thirty-thousand-year-old level. Its value was even more precious.
If a thirty-thousand-year-old Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide was given to an outstanding Six Star Alchemist to operate, he might be able to refine a Peerless Spiritual Level Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Pill. The effect would be even more significant.
Ye Qing was cultivating in the Dragon Clan's Sacred Palace. He did not pay attention to the outside world. He did not know what happened in the Myriad Demons Mountain.
On this day, Ye Qing was refining the Dragon Pearl. Now that he had more than enough time, he did not need to waste the energy in the Dragon Pearl. Therefore, he chose to completely refine and absorb the Dragon Pearl.
In this way, the energy of the Dragon Pearl was completely absorbed. It was just that it took a longer time.
Since Ye Qing went into seclusion, half a month had passed. His cultivation had finally broken through the bottleneck and reached the fifth level of Divinity Palace!
Not long after Ye Qing broke through, Ah Kun came in from outside. His face was filled with excitement. He told Ye Qing about what happened in the Myriad Demons Mountain.
Originally, the Myriad Demons Mountain had spread the news two days ago that a thirty-thousand-year-old sacred medicine, Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide, had been discovered.
Ah Kun had always wanted to inform Ye Qing, but he was afraid of delaying Ye Qing's cultivation. Therefore, he waited for Ye Qing to break through before breaking in.
After some narration, Ye Qing learned about the situation in the Myriad Demons Mountain. His eyes suddenly flashed with a ray of light!
The thirty-thousand-year-old sacred medicine, Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide, was definitely a rare treasure. Of course, Ye Qing had to fight for it!
If he successfully obtained the Heavenly Soul Holy Spirit Guide, Ye Qing would naturally break through to the Out of Body Realm in the future.
