Bei Gong Tang and the others never thought that she would leave just like this, and that she would even have finished asking for leave

Fatty, I’m sorry. I can’t stay to watch your tests. You guys have to do your best!
Sima You Yue said with a smile.

We will.
Fatty Qu said solemnly,
We’ll wait for you in the inner sect.


Alright. I’ll bring a few items from the Ninth Star Ocean back with me.
Sima You Yue said.
After saying her goodbyes, Sima You Yue went to another house and told Sima Lie that she was going to leave. Although Sima Lie was extremely worried, he was helpless to stop her.


Once she had left the Xuanyuan Pavilion, it was already evening.

If you tarried any longer, I would have assumed our deal void.
Wu La Li said.

I’ve always been a man of my word.
Sima You Yue replied,
When are we going?


Now.
Wu La Li opened a space portal after speaking, leading her through.
Once Sima You Yue had reappeared, they were standing in a deep forest.

This shouldn’t be the Ninth Star Ocean, right?
Sima You Yue said as she looked at the trees that were sky-high.

No, but it’s pretty close.
Wu La Li said,
Once we cross the forest and another stretch of mountains, we’ll be there.


Then what are we doing here?


Waiting for someone.

Wu La Li sat down on a boulder. Sima You Yue saw that there were many pill ingredients around her, even a few that the spirit pagoda didn’t have, and thought about how it should be fine, before taking out a shovel to dig a few up.



You really are practical, aren’t you? You don’t waste a thing!
Wu La Li mocked.

I don’t know about practical, but at least I won’t let it go to waste.
Sima You Yue dug up a herb and threw it directly into the spirit pagoda without even shaking the soil off.

These ingredients are a dime a dozen. It isn’t rare at all.


In the eyes of alchemist, the most common of ingredients are treasures.
Sima You Yue continued to dig it up, passing the time this way.

Ah?

When the herbs were dug out, she realised through the hole left behind that there were quite a few ores buried underground.

What’s wrong?
Wu La Li asked when he saw that she had stopped.

Prince Wu La, have you come here before?
Sima You Yue asked.

No, why?


Nothing.
Sima You Yue looked at the ores buried in the soil. Based on the state of the soil, it seemed that ores had been here for a few years. She wondered who left them here.


Wu La Li walked over and was similarly surprised when he saw the ores.
How strange. There are actually ores here.


Didn’t you say that there were mountains here? Who knows, there might be a cave.
Sima You Yue said.

No way. Seeker Spirit Master have long since scoured the mountain, and there were no caves.
Wu La Li said,
It’s probably been a long time since someone came here.


Maybe.
Sima You Yue neither confirmed nor denied it. She dug an ore up carefully and washed it clean of soil. An ash white coloured stone slowly appeared. She was shocked when she saw the lines on the ore.

Based on your expression, there should be something valuable in the ore?
Wu La Li said confidently.
Although he wasn’t human, he was familiar with humans. He had spent the past years wandering around the continent, and had seen his fair share of ores.

I can’t be certain of the quality of the item, but there’s definitely something inside it.
Sima You Yue didn’t say it too confidently.

You’re a seeker spirit master as well?
Wu La Li’s eyebrows raised.

Kind of.
Sima You Yue said,
There are…. Eleven stones here. Since I’m the one who discovered it, you can have five of them, and I’ll take six. You can choose first, but you can’t regret your choice afterwards.


You think I’ll cheat?
Wu La Li said.



Up to you.
Sima You Yue shrugged. It was better to be straightforward in front of an expert.
Wu La Li smiled,
I’ll give you all of them. I have no interest in these things.

Sima You Yue never expected him to reject it so straightforwardly.
Doesn’t your spirit beast clan rely on absorbing the spirit energy from the spirit stones to grow stronger?


Rarely.
Wu La Li said,
The Beast Clans have their own ways of cultivating. Few depend on this to advance in rank. It’s you humans who can make great strides with the help of these spirit stones.


You really don’t want it?
She raised her head and looked at him. When she saw that his eyes were clear, she beamed,
You’re the one who didn’t want it. Don’t come to me when you regret it. I won’t give it to you.


Up to you.

After Sima You Yue was sure that he didn’t want it, she happily got to work digging the stones out. Based on what she had learnt, these eleven ores definitely contained rare materials. If there were one or two of the highest quality items, she might even advance in rank.
She dug the ores our extremely quickly. Once she had scrubbed the ores clean, she walked happily to Wu La Li’s side and asked,
Who are we waiting for? How much longer do we have to wait? If it’s going to be much longer, I’m going further away to dig up ingredients.


Apart from this area, the others are extremely dangerous. You can go ahead if you’re not afraid.
Wu La Li opened his eyes and said.

Eh- forget it, then.
Sima You Yue shrunk her neck. She was so weak, there was no way she was going to mess around with her life.


She couldn’t help but sigh when she thought of how weak she was. She had been cultivating and studying this entire year, and there was no need to mention about her advance to the advanced divine king rank, but she was a step away from Divine Overlord. If she had enough spirit energy, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to advance in rank
Little Roar was right. Because she had experienced advancing in rank, she had no barrier in the advancement in rank. As long as she had enough spirit energy, it would be enough.
They waited in the forest for two more days before two more guys came looking for them. When Wu La Li saw them shaking their heads, his gaze faded a little. He looked at Sima You Yue, saying,
Prepare to return to the dragon palace.

The name ‘Dragon Palace’ caused a shock to run through Sima You Yue’s body. Ever since she had come back to life, she had a strange longing for dragons. She liked dragon totems and myths about dragons, then after becoming Ximen You Yue, she had grown in curiosity towards the dragon clan. It was just that they had died before she had reached the Ninth Star Ocean.
Now that she heard they were going to return to the dragon palace, she was incredibly curious. She wondered whether or not there were any differences between the real dragon palace and the one she had seen on the screen.
Wu La Li took out a pearl the size of a dragon’s eye and gave it to her,
This is an Underwater Pearl. If you eat it, you will be able to breathe underwater.

The two guards who looked like humans were stunned when they saw Wu La Li take out the Underwater Pill. One of them wanted to say something before the other person pulled on them.
Sima You Yue was just wondering about how she could go underwater. Who would have thought that Wu La Li had already considered for her. She took the underwater pearl and ate it without hesitation.
