Half a day later.
In the Hall of Counsel at Featherfall Immortal Palace.
Upon learning of Ye Yun's arrival, Yu Wenya, the Palace Master of Featherfall Palace, immediately ceased her current activities and came to the Hall of Counsel to receive him.
After some customary small talk, Ye Yun finally revealed the purpose of his visit, which, however, left Yu Wenya stunned.
"To acquire the treasure of the palace? If it were my personal belonging, I could gift it to you, Senior. But this item is truly quite... for the Featherfall Immortal Palace..."
According to Ye Yun's intentions, he wished to acquire not only the treasure of Featherfall Immortal Palace but also various other precious heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and even elixirs.
Putting aside the rest, the main item, the treasure of the palace, held immense significance for an immortal palace. As for Featherfall Immortal Palace, their treasure was a small bottle of Saint Beast essence blood.
In terms of sheer value, this item was no less significant than the Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus of the Xuanming Immortal Palace; both were unparalleled supreme treasures of this era.
Seeing her troubled expression, Ye Yun couldn't help but chuckle and say, "I understand that this item holds extraordinary significance for your immortal palace. Therefore, as compensation..."
"How about a Saint-grade profound technique from me?"
This was his plan. Since he was leaving anyway, he naturally intended to use the Return System to acquire a significant amount of treasures, which would serve as his capital for venturing into the Heavenly Domain.
"Uh..."
Upon hearing Ye Yun mention the Saint-grade, Yu Wenya's mouth parted slightly, and she said in disbelief,
"How did you obtain a profound technique of that caliber?"
"You need not concern yourself with that. In any case, it is indeed a Saint-grade profound technique, genuine and unfaked."
Ye Yun smiled faintly. Seeing her still contemplating, he added,
"By the way, I have also made a transaction with the Linglong Immortal Palace. Currently, Lan Zhaoyue possesses a Saint-grade profound technique."
"Palace Master Yu, Saint-grade profound techniques are no ordinary matter. Surely you wouldn't want the Featherfall Immortal Palace you lead to consistently lag behind the Linglong Immortal Palace in the future, would you?"
"This..."
Yu Wenya, who trusted Ye Yun greatly, naturally believed his words.
After her initial hesitation, she cleared her throat and said,
"Actually, the Saint Beast essence blood doesn't hold that much significance for us at Featherfall Immortal Palace. Since Senior desires it, then I shall trade it to you!"
"The other heavenly materials and earthly treasures will also be given to you, Senior."
There was no other choice. Ye Yun's offer was simply too generous. She was both a friend and a rival to Lan Zhaoyue, and she certainly did not wish for Featherfall Immortal Palace to be surpassed by Linglong Immortal Palace.
Another part of her reasoning was naturally to seize this opportunity to gain favor with Ye Yun, a Saint of this era.
Ye Yun nodded and smiled faintly, "If that is the case, then thank you for your cooperation, Palace Master Yu."
Yu Wenya sighed softly and said, "You are too kind, Senior. Had it not been for your intervention to resolve the demon invasion, our Featherfall Immortal Palace would likely have suffered heavy losses."
After speaking, she suddenly looked up as if remembering something and asked,
"By the way, Elder Ye, I heard you are preparing to ascend to the Heavenly Domain. Is this true?"
"Yes, I am making final preparations."
"I see..."
Yu Wenya took a deep breath and revealed a smile, saying,
"Then I wish Elder Ye a smooth immortal journey. Although the Heavenly Domain is sealed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace, I imagine that with your monstrous capabilities, it should not be a significant problem."
"Perhaps you will soon sweep through the Heavenly Domain, allowing us who ascend later to do so without worrying about any accidents."
She had interacted with Ye Yun early on and had witnessed his rise, the entire process having been as swift as the wind, overwhelming and unstoppable.
Ye Yun nodded and said, "Rest assured, in the future, I will undoubtedly ensure a clear path for ascension from the Profound Heaven Continent. Just wait and see!"
Seeing his confidence, Yu Wenya felt relieved and chuckled softly.
"Then I shall eagerly anticipate your performance. If, one day, we meet again in the Heavenly Domain, Senior, you must look out for Wen Ya!"
Ye Yun smiled and replied, "Matters of the future are open to discussion, open to discussion."
After their conversation, Ye Yun, content, took the Saint Beast essence blood and other heavenly materials and earthly treasures and departed.
As he bid farewell, he thought for a moment and activated his Heaven's Mandate Eye to check Yu Wenya's Destiny Value.
"Two hundred and ninety-four... Quite high, isn't it?"
Ye Yun was somewhat surprised; this Destiny Value was slightly higher than that of Little Xue, whose potential was boundless.
"Can influence world trends at crucial junctures... It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, her achievements will not be confined to the Profound Heaven Continent."
Regardless, this was a good thing. Perhaps they would indeed reunite in the Heavenly Domain in the future.
After observing the Destiny Value, Ye Yun finally left Featherfall Immortal Palace and proceeded to Linglong Immortal Palace.
"If I recall correctly... the treasure of Linglong Immortal Palace is a spiritual artifact, isn't it..."
Before long, Ye Yun found Lan Zhaoyue and repeated the same proposal.
Upon learning that Yu Wenya possessed a Saint-grade profound technique, Lan Zhaoyue unhesitatingly agreed to the trade, handing over the treasure of Linglong Immortal Palace and other heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
When bidding farewell, Ye Yun also checked Lan Zhaoyue's Destiny Value. It was also surprisingly high. The only peculiar thing was that,
"Those two actually have quite a bit of fate between them, even their Destiny Values are the same, two hundred and ninety-four. Coincidence, or..."
Ye Yun mused, but his attention was soon diverted elsewhere.
After all, from this trip alone, with just one Saint-grade profound technique, the Nine Revolutions Immortal Divine Transformation, he had exchanged for two palace treasures and a large pile of heavenly materials and earthly treasures from Featherfall Immortal Palace and Linglong Immortal Palace.
On his journey back, he amused himself by playing with the treasure he had obtained from Linglong Immortal Palace, clicking his tongue in admiration.
"The spiritual artifact, Linglong Crossbow, its structure is quite exquisite. I wonder about its power..."
After some thought, Ye Yun directly raised the cyan-gold Linglong Crossbow in his hand, aimed it at a desolate mountain range, and injected a small amount of profound energy.
As a beam of cyan light shot out, an immensely destructive beam completely shattered a mountain tens of thousands of meters high...
Ye Yun's brows twitched at the sight, truly astonished by the power of the Linglong Crossbow.
"As expected of a top-tier spiritual artifact. With only a third of its power, it possesses such might. If fully unleashed, it's practically a mobile nuclear missile launcher."
After his admiration, Ye Yun also began to feel anticipation. The last time the Azure Cloud Ancient Sword had a hundredfold return, it yielded a spiritual sword.
If an offensive spiritual artifact like this were to receive a hundred-thousandfold return...
Ye Yun was truly tempted and immediately decided to utilize the opportunity for a hundred-thousandfold return on the Linglong Crossbow.
Before long, upon his return to the Ancient Dao Celestial Sect, he received another piece of good news. It turned out that Gu Chen had gifted him the Azure Dragon Sacred Fruit, the treasure he had obtained from the Furlong Immortal Palace.
"With this, the treasures of the four great immortal palaces have now all been gathered..."
Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus, the Azure Dragon Sacred Fruit, the Saint Beast essence blood, and the Linglong Crossbow - these four treasures, cherished like their own lives by the great immortal palaces, had all ultimately fallen into his possession.
On Azure Cloud Divine Mountain.
Upon his return, Ye Yun eagerly summoned a few of his disciples and said with a smile,
"Today, your master has several great gifts to bestow upon you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyan was the first to become excited.
"More gifts?! Master is so good to us!"
She rushed forward, almost pouncing on Ye Yun.
The sisters Bai Xiaoxiao and Chen Lingyi also looked at him with expectant eyes.
Their master had always been very generous. If he called them "great gifts," they must be extraordinary!
