C168 – Lin Tu Regretted It

“This is far too precious,” Zhou Wanqing hastily remarked. “I truly desire this panacea and am prepared to offer 1.2 billion for it.” Before she could finish, Ye Hao interjected, “I’m not giving you the panacea for your money; I’m doing it because you seem like a decent person.”

After saying this, Ye Hao stood up and walked away.

The room erupted in shock.

Nobody had anticipated that Ye Hao would casually gift a panacea worth 1.2 billion to someone else.

Leng Hongchang was particularly dumbfounded.

​He shot a glance at Leng Xue beside him, his heart a tumult of emotions. If he hadn’t driven Ye Hao away, the panacea could have been his.

Leng Hongchang wasn’t alone in his thoughts.

​Lin Tu, Lin Gaoding, and Lin Gaofeng all harbored deep regrets. Had they not advised Lin Rou’er to keep her distance from Ye Hao, they might have been the recipients of the panacea.

But now, it was Zhou Wanqing who had obtained it.

If the Zhou family secured this panacea, they might gain the backing of a powerful ally. Furthermore, Zheng Yaolun of the Zheng family had already acquired a panacea previously. This meant that, apart from the Lin family, the other two major families had each obtained a panacea.

It was foreseeable that the Lin family’s future prospects would now be even more challenging.

“He’s truly ungrateful,” Lin Gaofeng muttered under his breath.

“It’s us who are ungrateful,” Lin Rou’er responded calmly. “We’ve never given Ye Hao anything.”

Lin Gaofeng fell quiet.

Indeed, the Lin family had given Ye Hao nothing.

Since the Lin family had never provided anything for Ye Hao, they had no grounds to label him ungrateful.

“Ye Hao not only saved our grandfather but also rescued me twice,” Lin Rou’er said, her eyes brimming with melancholy. “He has every right to decide to whom he gives his panacea.”

Lin Tu heaved a deep sigh and conceded, “Rou’er is correct. We were mistaken.”

Lin Tu held absolute sway within the Lin family.

He had had the opportunity to invite Ye Hao to join them, but he chose not to.

Ye Hao, ignoring the gazes of everyone present, exited the venue.

He was well aware that the Lin family had intentionally kept their distance from him.

One reason he presented the panacea to Zhou Wanqing publicly was to provoke the Lin family.

While the true owner behind Immortals Retreat might be a mystery to some, the head of the Faang family was certainly in the know.

Upon seeing Ye Hao, Faang Qiming promptly rose to his feet.

“Archon.”

“How many in the Faang family are privy to my identity?”

“Besides our patriarch, only I am aware,” Faang Qiming responded promptly.

Ye Hao had no desire to make his identity public, and naturally, the Faang family wouldn’t foolishly disclose it either.

They had no wish to incur Ye Hao’s wrath.

Ye Hao gave a slight nod and inquired, “What brings you to me?”

“I discovered these in the mine I bought from the Faang family.” As he spoke, Faang Qiming handed over two crystalline stones to Ye Hao.

Upon inspecting the stones, Ye Hao’s eyes betrayed his astonishment.

“Spirit stones.”

Faang Qiming, recognizing Ye Hao’s reaction, realized he understood the stones’ significant value.

“What is it that the Faang family seeks?”

“We seek your support,” Faang Qiming stated earnestly.

“I will not assist you,” Ye Hao declined.

“Archon, we’re talking about a spirit stone mine here,” Faang Qiming said, his face a picture of disbelief.

“And what of it?” Ye Hao replied coolly. “I have enough spirit stones for my cultivation. I have no need for more.”

“In that case, we will offer the spirit stone mine to the Archon as a gift,” Faang Qiming proposed after a moment’s thought.

Ye Hao laughed softly.

“What a clever strategy,” he said with a chuckle. “Since you’ve offered a gesture of good faith, I’ll extend some benefits to you.”

With those words, a brocade box materialized in his hand.

“This is for you.”

After a brief hesitation, Faang Qiming opened the brocade box.

Inside, he found three panaceas and three amulets.

“As long as the Faang family refrains from illegal acts, I will lend you aid amidst the chaos of the future,” Ye Hao stated calmly.

Faang Qiming’s face paled. “Archon, I implore you for clarity.”

“Demons will soon walk the earth,” Ye Hao revealed before swiftly changing the subject. “The matter of the spirit stones must remain confidential.”

“Alright,” Faang Qiming responded promptly.

“Okay, you’re free to go,” Ye Hao said, gesturing with a wave of his hand.

​With respect, Faang Qiming departed, his mood heavy.

Lately, supernatural events had been on the rise, unsettling even the capital, Eylas.

The Faang family patriarch had long foreseen a significant upheaval, and today, Ye Hao had confirmed his suspicions.

The emergence of a demon in the world threatened to destabilize the established order.

In such chaos, the Faang family could face destruction. Thankfully, Ye Hao had pledged his support to them.

Ye Hao had accessed the black dragon’s memories and learned various tracking techniques.

He opted to master the Tracking Technique.

Once proficient, he could track individuals within a thousand miles by their unique auras.

As Ye Hao meditated in solitude, a beautiful figure appeared silently beside him.

He was startled when he opened his eyes to the unexpected presence.

If she could approach him undetected, she could just as easily assassinate him without a trace.

“I wouldn’t need to reveal myself to kill you. A single Divine Sense could do it from a thousand miles away,” Su Xiaoyu said, smiling serenely at Ye Hao.

“Senior, do you need something from me?” Ye Hao inquired, his demeanor serious.

“Come with me to a place.”

“Alright.”

Ye Hao certainly wasn’t about to decline a request from Su Xiaoyu.

After all, she was the Phantom Sage.

As soon as he agreed, an unseen force enveloped him. He was swiftly whisked away, following Su Xiaoyu into the distance.

Before long, they arrived at a vast ocean.

“Senior, where are we headed?” Ye Hao asked, puzzled.

“To that island ahead,” Su Xiaoyu indicated.

But as they continued, Ye Hao grew discontented.

They had reached the heart of the Pacific Ocean, yet their destination still eluded them.

Eventually, Su Xiaoyu led Ye Hao to an island no more than three miles wide.

“It’s beneath this island.”

Diving into the frigid waters, Ye Hao quickly employed the Rain Summoning technique.

Being a Divine Power of the Dragon Clan, he executed it with ease.

Ye Hao spotted a cave dwelling in the distance.

However, this was no ordinary dwelling; it was shrouded in an aura of terrifying majesty. From a distance, Ye Hao watched, feeling his soul quiver involuntarily.

“Senior, is this our destination?” Ye Hao inquired, his voice laced with astonishment.

He couldn’t fathom why Su Xiaoyu had led him to this place.
