Urban Invincible Overlord

The few from the Lingxiao Sect knew Yang Fei better than Hai Mo and Yan Wei. Seeing his words, a thought struck them, and their expressions subtly changed.

Hai Mo asked, "Friend Yang, did our Sect Master forget something important?"

Yang Fei smiled and replied, "Last time, I sent two large bottles of genetic liquid medicine with Fellow Daoists Lu Chen and Gan Qian, and your Sect Master has yet to pay me the equivalent value in spirit stones, elixirs, tools, or talismans."

Hai Mo and Yan Wei took a deep breath, exchanged a glance, and the latter said, "We truly don't know about this matter, nor did our Sect Master mention it before leaving, so we need to inquire before giving you a reply, Friend Yang."

Yang Fei chuckled upon hearing this and said, "No worries, the Lingxiao Sect is a two-star sect, and its affairs are numerous. It's normal for your Sect Master to occasionally forget something."

Hai Mo and Yan Wei's mouths twitched slightly, casting a peculiar glance at Yang Fei.

Clearly, as a weak cultivation force in the Lower Realm, he needed cooperation with major sects like the Lingxiao Sect from the Upper Realm. Yet, here he was, requesting payment from the Lingxiao Sect.

Truly a bold individual.

However, the two found it hard to retort.

After all, Lu Chen and Gan Qian could testify that they indeed brought two large bottles of genetic liquid medicine to the Lingxiao Sect. It was only natural for the man to claim payment for the sale of the genetic liquid medicine.

What concerned them most was if Yang Fei intended to deduct from this batch of spirit stones, making it difficult for them to account back.

Seeing Yang Fei had no intention of making deductions now, they slightly relaxed.

After Hai Mo and Yan Wei left on the spirit boat, Yang Fei smiled and asked the few from the Lingxiao Sect, "Everyone, I'm not particularly familiar with the prices in the Southern Domain's cultivation world. What price do you think the genetic liquid medicine should be sold at?"

Ye Wuya and the others looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

This item could only be described as a priceless treasure.

Once it spreads in the cultivation world, it would surely make countless cultivators flock to it, becoming a sought-after commodity.

So even if Yang Fei set the price exorbitantly, people would still come to purchase it.

But the problem is, Yang Fei was currently selling only to the Lingxiao Sect.

The Lingxiao Sect was the extended family of Ye Wuya and the others. Now that Yang Fei was asking what price to set, they were truly in a bind to answer.

"Ahem, Friend Yang, let's not make things difficult for us. In such matters, it's best discussed with Daoist Qin and others; it's better for us not to participate in this discussion," Ye Wuya said with a dry cough.

The others nodded in agreement.

Yang Fei smiled slightly, saying, "Indeed. After all, you are disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, and eventually, you will need to return to your sect."

Their expressions changed slightly.

Though the Sect Master said he wouldn't concern himself with their past dishonoring of the sect and targeting other Southern Domain cultivation forces, stating instead they had contributed to the sect, now that both sides have established a cooperation in peace, the Sect Master hadn't told Hai Mo and Yan Wei to ask them back.

So their situation now seemed a bit awkward.

Staying on Earth yet still disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, their hearts leaned towards the Lingxiao Sect.

But Yang Fei treated them well here, not assigning many tasks and even providing considerable spirit stone quotas each month, making life in White Jade City more relaxed and comfortable than back at the Lingxiao Sect.

Yang Fei naturally understood their predicament, not holding it against them, he smiled and said, "Friends, we met through unusual circumstances. Now, with the Earth's cultivation world and the Southern Domain in a collaborative and harmonious relationship, especially with the Lingxiao Sect, as Lingxiao Sect disciples, your sect does not mind your past mistakes and even acknowledges your contributions. So, should you wish to leave, I, Yang Fei, will not stop you. Just speak fondly of our friendship when you return, that's all I ask."

Upon hearing this, the seven from the Lingxiao Sect looked embarrassed and ashamed.

Li Yue inhaled deeply, looked at Yang Fei, and said, "Does Friend Yang intend to send us away?"

Linglong also looked at Yang Fei and asked, "Yes, do you not trust us anymore, not wanting us to stay in White Jade City?"

The others also looked at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei glanced at them, shaking his head, and said, "Don't misunderstand, how could I, Yang Fei, be so petty? I have no intention of sending you away. I'm sincerely telling you not to feel any burden, if you wish to return to the Southern Domain, you can leave anytime, and I won't stop you. But if you're willing to stay in White Jade City, our Earthly cultivators have much to learn from you, and I'd be more than happy to have you here."

The seven were unsure if Yang Fei was testing them or genuinely treating them well, but truth be told, given their current situation, each felt more free and unrestrained staying in White Jade City than returning to the Lingxiao Sect.

Even if they were to return, they'd wait until close to achieving Core Formation to do so.

They were certain that continuing to cultivate here, their speed would be a third faster than in the Lingxiao Sect, if not more.

And if Yang Fei could provide them with genetic liquid medicine, they might even improve their spirit root grade, and once the spirit root grade improved, their future potential would significantly increase.

After exchanging a glance and short contemplation, Li Yue was the first to speak, "Brother Yang, I don't intend to leave in the short term. Unless I'm close to breaking through to the Core Formation Stage, needing to go to the Southern Domain to prepare the necessary elixirs, I'm not planning to go back."

The others nodded in agreement, expressing the same sentiment as Li Yue.

Yang Fei nodded, "Good, since you're all willing to stay, the same as before stands true: stay as long as you want, these wooden buildings in White Jade City will always be your haven."

"Thank you, Friend Yang."

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

"We will remember this kindness."

"If there's a chance in the future, we'll surely repay this favor."

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang could see the genuine emotions from the seven.

At least from this moment on, the seven did not feel it was Yang Fei forcibly keeping them here; they truly felt a sense of gratitude towards Yang Fei.

A day in the Southern Domain, three days on Earth.

Time in the cultivation world flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since Hai Mo and Yan Wei took back the seventy-two thousand top-grade spirit stones as compensation and tribute from Earth.

At the Lingxiao Sect's Main Peak, Hai Lingfeng and Jiang Jun found Jiang Yao, urging their Sect Master brother to make a quick decision.

Jiang Yao had just learned from Jiang Jun and Hai Lingfeng about the changes that one large bottle of genetic liquid medicine brought to those who tested it in the sect, feeling incredibly invigorated.

That one large bottle of genetic liquid medicine alone enhanced the spirit roots of two cultivators in the sect.

Among the ten people who tested the medicine, about sixty percent of that one large bottle was given to five disciples with spirit root aptitude.

After multiple uses, the spirit roots of two among them changed and improved.

The other portion of genetic liquid medicine was given to five second-generation sect members without spirit roots, yet half a year later, they still showed no change, indicating this genetic liquid medicine might not enable the emergence of spirit roots in those without them.

But given its ability to enhance the spirit root talent of cultivators with spirit roots, it was already the dream miracle drug for cultivators.

As for whether it can cause ordinary people without spirit roots to develop them, since there's already precedent on Earth, this should not be false.

Lu Chen and Gan Qian wouldn't dare deceive the sect on such matters, nor would there be any need.

"Just by having a large quantity of genetic liquid medicine, I believe even among those without spirit roots, some could potentially develop them," Hai Lingfeng said with some excitement.

Jiang Jun also nodded and said, "Indeed, with such a miraculous item, keeping it in the small cultivation world of Earth is truly a waste. We should gather and store it in large quantities."

Jiang Yao nodded and looked at the two, "The last time, when Hai Mo and Yan Wei returned, they brought back the boy's words. He asked what price we should set for those two bottles of genetic liquid medicine, or what equivalent goods to exchange them for; I am curious how you senior and junior brothers view this matter?"
