The Heavenly Beast King took out a golden storage ring from the treasury and placed five hundred million Great Dao Immortal Crystals inside. It then handed the ring to Lan Xiaoke. “This should be enough for the young master to use for ten thousand years.”
Lan Xiaoke hurriedly accepted the storage ring and pressed it against her face for a moment. She looked so happy that she seemed ready to float away.
After lowering her head to make sure the ring was truly filled with immortal crystals, she raised her head again. “Is there more?”
The Heavenly Beast King said nothing. It was only regretting inwardly why it had taken the initiative to name a number as high as five hundred million.
Lan Xiaoke pointed at the white giant egg in her arms, her expression still perfectly righteous. “Blue Eggy will need clothes and toys in the future too. It can’t go around naked every day, can it?”
The Heavenly Beast King glanced at the egg, which clearly had no need for clothes, and finally could not help reminding her, “It’s an egg.”
Lan Xiaoke hugged the giant egg tightly and refused to yield. “Even eggs have dignity.”
The white giant egg cooperatively shook twice, as if proving that Lan Xiaoke was right.
Seeing its young master like this, the Heavenly Beast King lost the last of its will to argue. It took out a large quantity of astral ores, Beast Emperor blood essence, and spirit medicines capable of helping beast eggs hatch, then placed them all into Lan Xiaoke’s storage ring.
Lan Xiaoke lowered her head to inspect the contents. The smile on her little face grew brighter and brighter. “If it isn’t enough later, can I come back for more?”
The Heavenly Beast King no longer wanted to continue this entanglement. It only wanted these two things to leave as soon as possible. “Yes.”
After receiving a definite answer, Lan Xiaoke happily put the storage ring on her wrist. She even reached out and patted the Heavenly Beast King on the shoulder. “You’re actually a pretty nice person.”
The Heavenly Beast King stared at her expressionlessly.
Thank you.
But it wasn’t a person.
The experts from the various immortal sects outside suddenly felt that there was probably a reason Ye Chuan had managed to obtain thirty billion points in the Ancient Realm of Ten Thousand Dao.
It seemed that not a single member of this team would leave empty-handed.
What did it mean to be professional?
This was what it meant to be professional!
The elder from the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect stared at the storage ring in Lan Xiaoke’s hand, his eyes practically turning red. Their sect had cultivated the Beast Taming Dao for countless years. For a beast with the bloodline of an Immortal King, they would even be willing to sacrifice half the foundation of their sect.
Lan Xiaoke had entered the Heavenly Beast Plains less than half a day ago. She had first picked up a Beast Emperor egg with the potential to become an Immortal Emperor, then taken a large amount of resources from the Heavenly Beast treasury. She had not paid any price throughout the entire process.
One of the disciples was so envious that he could not help asking in a low voice, “Elder, can we invite her to join the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect in the future?”
The elder glanced at him, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness. “What will we use to invite her? Beast-taming heritage or immortal beast resources?”
The disciple thought seriously for a while. In the end, he realized that the Starry Sky Beast Emperor had chosen Lan Xiaoke of its own accord, while the entire treasury of the Heavenly Beast Plains was willing to open itself to her. The Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect truly seemed to have nothing capable of moving her.
Moreover, Ye Chuan was standing beside Lan Xiaoke. Anyone who dared to try poaching her would probably be thrown out before they even realized what had happened.
After the Heavenly Beast King sank the treasury back beneath the mountains, its expression finally regained a measure of seriousness. “The young master has yet to hatch, so the Starry Sky origin cannot be interrupted. Let it absorb one astral ore every three days.”
Lan Xiaoke immediately nodded seriously while hugging the giant egg. “I’ll remembah.”
The Heavenly Beast King was still somewhat worried and continued issuing reminders. “Do not let the young master approach anything evil, and do not allow anyone to damage the eggshell at will. In particular, no one is to cut it open for research.”
Ye Chuan’s expression became somewhat strange when he heard the final sentence.
After a moment of silence, he could only give a rather uncertain answer. “I’ll do my best.”
The corner of the Heavenly Beast King’s eye twitched again. “Why ‘do your best’?”
Ye Chuan did not explain. Some things, if spoken aloud, would only make the Heavenly Beast King even more worried.
Lan Xiaoke, however, immediately hugged the white giant egg tighter and seriously promised, “I’ll protect Blue Eggy. Nobody can cut it open.”
The starry patterns on the surface of the giant egg flashed twice, clearly very satisfied with this promise.
Ye Chuan did not continue participating in the exchange between the girl and the egg. He raised his hand, and the Ancient Desolation Bone Token, the Myriad Laws City Lord Token, and the Heavenly Beast Emperor Seal simultaneously appeared in his palm.
Three beams of light in different colors intertwined in the air, ultimately pointing together toward the northwest of the Heavenly Beast Plains. That was the Sword Burial Valley, one of the four outer regions of the Ancient Realm of Ten Thousand Dao.
The Heavenly Beast King looked in the same direction, its tone carrying a hint of warning. “The fourth core mark is in the Sword Burial Valley, but obtaining it is not as simple as defeating the remnants within the valley.”
Ye Chuan put away the three tokens and casually asked, “How do I get it?”
The Heavenly Beast King gazed at the distant, gloomy sky and slowly uttered four words:
“Make all the swords acknowledge you as their master.”
Ye Chuan thought about it, his expression barely changing. “Sounds easy enough.”
In the past, the sword prodigies who entered the Sword Burial Valley had been willing to sit in meditation for hundreds of years just to earn the recognition of a single ancient sword. To make all the swords in the Sword Burial Valley acknowledge the same master—no matter how one looked at it, there was nothing easy about it.
Yet when it recalled the scene of Ye Chuan forcing the will of the Starry Sky Beast Emperor to bow just moments ago, the Heavenly Beast King ultimately said nothing more.
What was impossible for others might not be difficult at all in Ye Chuan’s hands.
Just then, the space in the distance suddenly rippled. The spatial mark Hu Li had left in Myriad Laws City lit up, and a slender figure emerged from the passage.
She seemed to have just finished a battle. A little dust clung to her dress, and her fluffy ears were slightly disheveled, but there were no obvious injuries on her body.
The moment she saw Ye Chuan, Hu Li immediately trotted over, her two fox ears standing upright again. “Boss.”
Ye Chuan glanced at the dust on her clothes and first confirmed that she was not injured. “Did you run into trouble just now?”
Hu Li shook her head, then took a piece of ancient jade radiating a silvery-white light from her bosom. “Someone tried to take my things, but they ran away after seeing Boss’s points.”
Nine fox tails were engraved on the surface of the ancient jade, and an extremely pure demonic aura was sealed within it. No matter how one looked at it, it was clearly no ordinary object.
Ye Chuan took the ancient jade and examined it twice before casually asking, “Did you pick it up?”
Hu Li’s cheeks reddened slightly, and her voice became softer as well. “They gave it to me.”
Those cultivators had originally wanted to seize her belongings. But after seeing Ye Chuan’s thirty billion points on the Prodigy Stele, and hearing Hu Li call Ye Chuan “Boss,” they not only stopped attacking but also stuffed all the treasures they had on them into Hu Li’s hands before turning and running.
Hu Li had not even been able to catch them.
Ye Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that there were still quite a few sensible, good-hearted people in the Ancient Realm of Ten Thousand Dao.
Hu Li soon noticed the white giant egg in Lan Xiaoke’s arms and curiously moved closer. “What’s that?”
Lan Xiaoke immediately raised the giant egg higher in her arms, her tone filled with the pride of showing off her beloved treasure. “My Blue Eggy.”
Hu Li studied it seriously for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Can it be eaten?”
The white giant egg jolted violently.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.

Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week?
