Ye Shu only smiled meaningfully without a word, causing Chu Yao to feel uncertain.

Chu Yao lowered her eyes and struggled. After all, it was a high-grade magic tool, not a cabbage. One had to know that even in the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild, there were only ten of such magic tools and she only had three.

However, the woman before her was no ordinary person.

After a while, she smiled elegantly and put down the teacup in her hand. She called out, “Mo Yu.”

A man in a black robe walked out, his hat completely covering his face. He was tall and his voice was hoarse. “Boss, what are your orders?”

Chu Yao’s smile was elegant, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “Go and take out that single ice jade case from the storeroom.” She smiled and suppressed her pained tone. That was a high-grade magic tool…

It was obvious that the black-robed man was stunned. He looked at Ye Shu with a probing gaze. Ye Shu lowered her eyes and played with the jade pendant casually. She had an otherworldly aura and her side profile was covered by a veil, making it impossible to see her true appearance. It added a sense of mystery.

“Boss?” The black-robed man was startled. He looked at Chu Yao as if he had heard mistakenly.

Chu Yao said in an indifferent and definitive tone, “Just do as I tell you.”

“…Yes.”

A moment later, Ye Shu looked at the ice jade box that the black-robed man brought over and took it. The coldness and spiritual aura in her hand assailed her nostrils and she could feel something resonating and clamoring in her soul.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Chu Yao staring at her with a pained expression. She smiled.

It seemed that this was really something good.

When she opened the jade box, a dazzling light instantly appeared and rotated in front of her eyes. A strand of rich and sweet spiritual force seemed to be faintly discernible like the sound of a flute. There was a jade ring inside the jade box, and the restless bloodline in her body instantly calmed down, as if her soul had been cleansed.

Chu Yao smiled and explained, “Miss Ye, this is made from Cloudsoaring Jade. It’s rumored to be a white jade formed from the Jade Pool of the higher realms in ancient times. It’s a jade ring created by the world’s best weaponsmith. Due to its special spiritual qi protection barrier, it can hide one’s bloodline and spiritual qi. Even the higher realms’ supreme experts can’t see through it.”

“Moreover, once this ring is worn, it will automatically recognize its owner. No one can take it off.”

Ye Shu played with the ring in her hand and her lips curled into a mocking smile. “This ring is so precious, and the owner is actually willing to part with it. Why don’t I use my spiritual liquid to exchange for it? You guys won’t lose out by exchanging it for something else.”

Chu Yao suppressed the pain in her heart and forced out a smile. She politely bowed and said, “Since it’s Miss Ye’s order, I will naturally do my best. There’s no need to pay.”

Ye Shu looked at her with more admiration. She was indeed worthy of being the owner of the Hundred Herbs Hall. She did not covet the small benefits in front of her; her sights were set further than those of ordinary people. She had the intention of befriending her.

“In that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse.” She put away the jade box, and her smile deepened.

Chu Yao let out a sigh of relief. She was a businesswoman and naturally paid attention to long-term benefits. After twenty to thirty years of experience, she knew this woman was definitely not an ordinary person.

If she could use a high-grade magic tool to exchange for her favor, this transaction would indeed not be a loss.

She suddenly thought of something and took out an invitation card from the cabinet and handed it to Ye Shu. “Miss Ye, the Medicine Concocting Convention hosted by the Alchemist Guild will be held in three days. I wonder if Miss Ye has the time to attend?”

Ye Shu took the invitation and saw the words ‘organizer ‘clearly written on it. She raised her eyebrows. Was she supposed to be the invigilator? However, she had never been to the Medicine Concocting Convention before and was not familiar with the scene.

“If Miss Ye is willing to oversee the event, the Alchemist Guild will give you the Earth Spirit Fruit as a reward.”

Chu Yao’s words caused her eyes to light up. Earth Spirit Fruit. The Soul Returning Pill she had recently refined just happened to lack this medicinal ingredient. She put away the invitation card and smiled. “Of course, of course.”

After saying that, she bade farewell to Chu Yao and left the Hundred Herbs Hall. Ye Shu walked around the main street and entered a private room in the tea house. She then put on the jade ring.

The ring matched the size of her finger perfectly. After she put it on, white light swirled and the ring melted into her finger.

The white jade ring disappeared instantly.

Ye Shu was surprised. She turned her wrist and realized that the ring had really disappeared. She used her spiritual senses to check her body. Her bloodline seemed to be shrouded by a layer of fog and she couldn’t see it clearly.

She curled her lips in amusement. It seemed that the boss of the Hundred Herbs Hall had really invested a lot in her this time.

At this moment, Ye Shu felt a sharp spiritual force vibration from below. It was as if thousands of swords were unsheathed. Ye Shu turned her head and looked out of the window.

An unruly woman had led a large group of guards to surround the white-clothed man in the center. He was holding a golden-furred kitten in his arms. His brows were filled with frost, and a dense murderous intent spread out from him.

Ye Shu recognized him.. Wasn’t this the Host’s bodyguard, Bai Chen?
