Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 958 - 908 Beating Up (First Update)

Seeing the little girl vanish without a trace, Ye Chen's heart was utterly shaken to the core!

This little girl actually discovered the "Polar Heaven-grade" flame he had hidden on his body!

What was even more terrifying was that, even after she appeared, not even the Immortal Divine Venerable present noticed her.

"Cai Xiao'er? She called Cai Meng'er 'sister.' Could it be that she's Cai Meng'er's younger sister?"

"This little girl looks only eleven or twelve years old, and her realm is merely at the Nine Tribulations True God Realm—not even at the God King Realm. Yet why does she give me an even stranger feeling than Cai Meng'er?"

Ye Chen raised his head to glance at Cai Meng'er, but it seemed she too hadn't noticed Cai Xiao'er's earlier arrival—nor had she realized that Cai Xiao'er had spoken to him.

At the moment, Cai Meng'er was still selecting recruits.

Seeing this, Ye Chen made a deep note of that little girl in his heart.

"Cai Xiao'er said she has other matters for now? That she'd come looking for me in a few days?"

"Fine, in a few days, let's see exactly what she wants from me."

As Ye Chen was contemplating this, a voice from Xiaojiu, housed within the Ice Snow Jade Pendant on his body, rang out: "Ye Chen, that little girl just now was quite peculiar. She seemed to possess a divine skill far beyond her realm—something that didn't even seem to originate from the Nine Flames Clan."

Upon hearing Xiaojiu's words, Ye Chen's mind stirred, and he transmitted his thoughts back to Xiaojiu: "Xiaojiu, you woke up from your cultivation? Have you heard of this little girl's divine skill before?"

Ever since Ye Chen had handed over the Purple Silver Pearl and the Primordial Gold Divine Flower to Xiaojiu and the little monkey, the two had been immersed in cultivation.

Ye Chen hadn't anticipated that the arrival of this little girl would awaken Xiaojiu.

"I only woke up when she was speaking to you and sensed a peculiar fluctuation," Xiaojiu explained, "As for her strange divine skill, I've never heard of it, but I can tell—it's absolutely extraordinary."

"Moreover, I have a sense—a gut feeling, Ye Chen—that this little girl harbors no ill intentions toward you. On the contrary, she seems inexplicably drawn to you."

"Maybe, when she comes to find you again, the reasons will become clear."

Ye Chen nodded.

He too felt that the little girl had no malice toward him; in fact, it seemed she had much she wanted to say to him.

"Xiaojiu, continue cultivating. For now, let's wait and see what happens when Cai Xiao'er comes looking for me again."

At this moment, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a strange anticipation toward their next encounter with Cai Xiao'er.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Medicine Pavilion's recruitment of accompanying martial artists was still ongoing.

After spending the time it takes for about half a cup of tea, Cai Meng'er finally chose the last martial artist.

Not one more nor one less. Coupled with the ones she'd previously selected, a total of three thousand recruits were chosen.

First, Cai Meng'er cupped her fists and offered heartfelt apologies to the martial artists who weren't selected, instructing Steward Huang to escort these people out of the Medicine Pavilion.

Then, Cai Meng'er turned to the remaining three thousand recruits, including Ye Chen, and announced, "You three thousand will serve as the extra personnel recruited for accompanying us on this expedition to gather spiritual medicines."

Ye Chen was calm at the moment.

However, many of the martial artists couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, their faces lighting up with joy.

Cai Meng'er continued, "I chose you because I sensed that you either possess great strength or have exceptional divine skills uniquely suited for gathering spiritual medicines."

"Our Nine Flames Clan, especially the martial artists of the Ten Thousand Spirits Medicine Pavilion, are rarely mistaken in such judgments."

As she spoke, a gentle smile graced Cai Meng'er's face.

The other martial artists suddenly had a realization: it turns out this was the reason Cai Meng'er had chosen them.

At this moment, Cai Meng'er continued, "Since you've all opted to participate in our Medicine Pavilion's recruitment for accompanying martial artists, you should already be familiar with the rules of our spiritual medicine gathering expeditions."

"Still, I will reiterate them."

"Our Medicine Pavilion's permanent members are the main force in gathering medicines; you extra recruits are merely supplementary, meant to help gather some additional spiritual medicines."

"As such, the constraints on you will be minimal from our side."

"For this expedition, all you'll need to do is gather three stalks of lower-grade Mystic Heavenly-level spiritual medicines to meet the basic requirement. Afterward, you are free to leave our team if you wish."

"Even if you fail to meet the quota of three lower-grade Mystic Heavenly-level spiritual medicines but still wish to leave, you simply need to pay a small fee, and you can depart freely."

"After all, bringing you along to faraway places requires significant effort on our part, so certain conditions are necessary—I hope everyone understands this."

All three thousand recruited martial artists nodded in agreement, expressing their understanding.

Indeed, the Medicine Pavilion would expend effort and resources to bring them along. Only requiring them to hand in three lower-grade Mystic Heavenly-level spiritual medicines was a very lenient condition.

Most of them had chosen to accompany the Medicine Pavilion precisely for its protection and the lucrative rewards of medicine gathering.

Ye Chen silently nodded in his heart.

Providing three lower-grade Mystic Heavenly-level spiritual medicines posed no difficulty for him whatsoever.

Even if he couldn't find suitable materials, offering a small portion of the Purple Silver Pearl would easily enable him to leave the Medicine Pavilion team smoothly. To follow them all the way to the Nine Lotus Holy Mountain—this minor expenditure was well worth it.

Cai Meng'er continued, "Of course, following us to gather spiritual medicines won't leave you at a disadvantage."

"In addition to the basic requirement of three lower-grade Mystic Heavenly-level spiritual medicines, any extra or higher-grade spiritual medicines you wish to sell will be purchased by us at market price."

"If you prefer to keep them for yourselves, we will not force you to give them up."

Cai Meng'er's words garnered praise from the martial artists.

Many of them had joined the Medicine Pavilion's recruitment because of this rule.

The Pavilion only required three basic spiritual medicines, and any additional ones would be bought at market value, offering great prospects for profit.

This setup promised mutual benefit: they could reap substantial rewards, while the Medicine Pavilion could acquire rare spiritual medicines. A win-win scenario.

Several martial artists were already looking forward to showcasing their skills in the eight major medicine-gathering zones!

"That's all I have to say for now," Cai Meng'er concluded.

"Our expedition will commence tomorrow morning at dawn. Gather outside the Ten Thousand Spirits Medicine Pavilion at that time."

"Steward Huang, distribute the tokens for accompanying members."

"Yes, Young Lady," Steward Huang replied, taking out three thousand tokens inscribed with "Ten Thousand Spirits Medicine Pavilion" and handing them to everyone.

Afterward, Steward Huang escorted Ye Chen and the three thousand recruits out of the Pavilion.

Once Ye Chen and the others departed, Cai Meng'er watched their retreating figures, murmuring to herself, "Whenever we embark on medicine-gathering expeditions, the core efforts always lie with our Pavilion members. These recruited martial artists are chiefly supplementary, meant to contribute some extra medicines."

"Yet this time, among the recruits, there's an unbelievably powerful individual!"

"That God King, despite appearing to be about my age, gives me an incomparably dangerous feeling."

"It's as if my combat power, capable of rivaling an Upper Immortal Divine Venerable, pales utterly before him. If he wanted to kill me, it would be effortless!"

"Even among the recruited martial artists, those few Upper Immortal Divine Venerables didn't give me such a sense of danger!"

"Could it be that his strength surpasses those Upper Immortal Divine Venerables?"

As she pondered this, a trace of surprise surfaced on Cai Meng'er's flawless face.

The figure filling her thoughts was none other than Ye Chen!

"I wonder why such a powerful God King would hide his strength and join our Pavilion's expedition team."

"Could he be targeting our Pavilion? No, that's unlikely—especially since we'll have a Sovereign attending this expedition."

"Could it be that he simply wants to leverage our Pavilion's operations to reach other regions smoothly?"

Cai Meng'er's mind was riddled with questions.

Finally, she shook her head and muttered, "Forget it. As long as he behaves according to our guidelines, it doesn't matter."

"This expedition's centerpiece is that one Heavenly Pond Divine Lotus on Nine Lotus Holy Mountain!"

"The restriction on the mountain only allows those below the Sovereign Realm to enter. Careful planning will be needed."

Lost in thought, Cai Meng'er turned and walked back toward her bedroom in the Medicine Pavilion.

Outside the Pavilion.

Once Steward Huang had sent out the three thousand recruits, they scattered immediately.

The fat God King Kuang Meng, standing beside Ye Chen, spoke: "Ye Chen, I need to return and inform the seniors of our Qi Yue Divine Nation about my selection as a recruit for the Medicine Pavilion. We'll meet again tomorrow."

"But don't worry—I promised we'd collaborate, and I meant it. I'll keep an eye on you during the expedition." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Kuang Meng's words prompted a helpless smile from Ye Chen.

This God King, someone like him who had traveled from a different Divine Nation to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom, was genuinely warm-hearted.

"Alright, Kuang Meng, see you tomorrow then."

After parting ways with Kuang Meng, Ye Chen wandered the streets of Haotian Divine City, the capital of the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

Since arriving at the True Spirit Divine Kingdom, Ye Chen had spent several days in Haotian Divine City.

Knowing he was soon leaving the city for the Extreme Spirit Sea, Ye Chen wasn't sure if he'd ever return here.

Thus, he strolled idly, hoping to take in the sights and appreciate the city properly.

As he continued wandering, Ye Chen smiled faintly to himself: "Those guys following me—they were participants in the recruitment process who didn't get selected, just like me."

"They've been trailing me all this time, thinking I wouldn't notice?"

"Looks like they're jealous that I was chosen by Cai Meng'er, while they weren't."

Ye Chen's expression remained unperturbed as he kept walking.

After a dozen or so breaths, Ye Chen suddenly felt the entire world quiet down. It was as if the surrounding void had been sealed entirely.

Before long, four martial artists from the True Spirit Divine Kingdom appeared in front of him.

They cracked their knuckles and sneered, moving threateningly toward Ye Chen.

"Human brat, huh? Looks like your pretty face is quite popular with the female martial artists!"

"Cai Meng'er actually chose you—a mere martial artist who barely defeated the black puppet—and didn't pick us!"

"Well, we brothers are going to see what you look like after we mess up that handsome face of yours! Let's see if you'll still be so 'charming' afterward!"
