Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1639 - 1637: Walk the Night Road Too Often

"Can I eat one?" Yann Miao asked.

"Of course!" Lu Ye nodded. Although a supreme-grade psyche refinement pill is quite valuable, if we wish to establish a long-term trade with the Merfolk Race, it's essential to let them truly understand the magic of this elixir.

Direct consumption of one pill is the best method.

Yann Miao then placed a psyche refinement pill into her mouth.

Although she felt an inkling of its significant benefits upon smelling its fragrance, Yann Miao was still deeply shocked during the gradual refinement of its effects. She clearly perceived that her psyche began receiving gentle nourishment from this power.

She almost teared up.

Lu Ye was baffled; why eating an elixir would make someone nearly cry? Even if the supreme-grade psyche refinement pill's effects are extraordinary, it shouldn't provoke such a strong reaction.

"Apologies for the embarrassment." After some time, Yann Miao calmed her excited emotions. The elixir's effects were still gradually benefiting her, and it seemed like it would continue for several days. During this time, her psyche could thrive within that wondrous nourishment. Due to her slight loss of composure, her expression was somewhat awkward, so she wanted to explain, asking: "Young friend, do you know why only the queen's bloodline from our tribe can ascend to Sun Blaze?"

Lu Ye casually stated: "Because of the curse poison?" It wasn't that he had prior knowledge; it was just the most likely reason.

Yann Miao nodded: "Indeed, it's due to the curse poison. That eerie curse poison power not only confines us to live in the cold, dark depths of the All Phenomena Ocean but also restricts the growth of most tribe members, forever preventing them from glimpsing the path to Sun Blaze. Only the queen's bloodline is relatively powerful, so the limitations they face are slightly better than common tribe members. Yet even so, the queen's bloodline only holds hope for ascending to Sun Blaze, not every queen generation achieves Sun Blaze!"

In other words, Bai Shuang might ascend to Sun Blaze later, or she might just be Moon Jade.

"A few days ago, young friend helped me dissolve the curse poison power. At that time, I felt something had changed, thinking perhaps I could attempt to explore the mysteries of Sun Blaze. But since such a case had never occurred among my people, I couldn't be certain."

Lu Ye surmised: "So the Great Elder insisted on personally venturing out to sea, to verify whether the curse poison power had disappeared, and simultaneously confirmed the matter of ascending to Sun Blaze?"

Yann Miao nodded, gladly looking at Lu Ye: "There's no need for verification anymore. I can be certain that I truly can explore the mysteries of Sun Blaze! Because after taking that psyche refinement pill, I distinctly felt something I had never experienced before!"

Regarding her own foundations, Yann Miao had long reached the pinnacle of Moon Jade, but previously due to the restrictions of the curse poison power, she never sensed anything above Moon Jade, like Sun Blaze.

But with the consumption of the psyche refinement pill, she had that magical feeling.

Previously, she was like being trapped in a sealed house; this house had a secret door, and only by pushing open the secret door could she discover the mysteries of Sun Blaze.

Even if she knew the house had a secret door, she couldn't find where the door was...

Yet now it's different. When the curse poison power was resolved, she vaguely sensed where the secret door was located. With the consumption of a supreme-grade psyche refinement pill, the door even began to open a small gap, faintly letting bright light seep through, revealing further hope.

Otherwise, as a Moon Jade Late Stage cultivator, consuming one elixir couldn't possibly cause such a strong emotional shift.

The elixir was merely a trigger; it was the result it evoked that she found difficult to control.

If reversed reasoned, indeed Yann Miao's curse poison power had entirely dissolved, otherwise she wouldn't have experienced such feelings.

"Young friend, this psyche refinement pill is significantly useful to me! I want to buy some!" Yann Miao earnestly said. She sensed, with this elixir's assistance, she could ascend to Sun Blaze more quickly.

Lu Ye had long known the psyche refinement pill's appeal to a Moon Jade like Yann Miao because to ascend to Sun Blaze at this realm, one must work on the psyche aspect. The psyche refinement pill is undoubtedly the right elixir for this.

With Yann Miao having this need, Lu Ye certainly wouldn't refuse. However, since it's a business endeavor, certain matters need to be clarified beforehand. Even among siblings, clear accounts are necessary, let alone between two races.

Even though Lu Ye had already identified the Merfolk Race as a future ally of Three Worlds Island, such matters must be clear-cut, even more so.

"No problem, but this elixir is somewhat expensive."

Yann Miao smiled: "Expensive is not an issue; we Merfolk Race have nothing but an abundance of spirit jade!"

This statement... is quite willful! But indeed, they have the capital to be willful.

At once, Lu Ye informed her of the prices for the Treasure Body Pill and psyche refinement pill. Not asking for too much, just the price previously quoted by Cao Xiang from the All Phenomena Merchants Guild. This price is undoubtedly fair, and the key is that even on All Phenomena Ocean, using equivalent spirit jade might not be able to buy such supreme-grade elixir pills.

So in terms of price, Lu Ye didn't ask for more, but actually, the Merfolk Race gained an advantage.

Thus, the supreme-grade elixir pills refined by Shui Yuan and Hua Ci wouldn't need to worry about the lack of sales; Lu Ye couldn't sell these supreme-grade elixir pills to outsiders, but selling them to the Merfolk Race posed no issues.

Both sides collaborating is considered mutually beneficial.

Moreover, in the future, Shui Yuan and Hua Ci wouldn't need to painstakingly refine top-grade elixir pills; they could just refine supreme-grade ones to avoid wasting materials, leaving some for personal use. For the Merfolk Race, they can supply as much as they wish.

Within a short period, the cultivators of Three Worlds Island won't have to worry about the demand for spirit jade.

Lu Ye handed over all the elixir pills he brought to Yann Miao, and the two continued onward.

The depths of the All Phenomena Ocean are far from calm, with terrifying exotic beasts occasionally appearing. Even though Yann Miao's cultivation is extraordinary, she is unwilling to engage in combat under such circumstances. Therefore, whenever they encountered malicious spirit fish star beasts, Yann Miao would blow a conch shell to drive them away.

Long ago, Lu Ye had witnessed the power of the conch shell in Yann Miao's hand; its effect seemed completely opposite to his previous bone ocarina.

The bone ocarina could attract nearby star beasts, while the conch shell could expel them, quite remarkable indeed.

According to Yann Miao, the power of her conch shell can even drive away average Sun Blaze star beasts. Previously, when a Sun Blaze star beast invaded the Merfolk Territory, it was driven away with this conch shell.

Moreover, in the vast reaches of the All Phenomena Ocean, the number of Sun Blaze star beasts is relatively low. As long as luck isn't too bad, encounters are rare.

Yet sometimes what you fear is what you encounter.

Half a month after departing from the Merfolk Territory, one day Lu Ye and Yann Miao were riding seahorses and heading their way when a grandiose threat swiftly approached from nearby.

Yann Miao and Lu Ye were simultaneously startled; there was no need to investigate, they both knew it was undoubtedly a Sun Blaze star beast.

They exchanged a glance and quickly concealed their aura.

Even with the conch shell available, it was still necessary to hide.

Annoyingly, despite hiding their aura, the Sun Blaze star beast did not change direction.

Yann Miao swiftly signaled to Lu Ye, and at the same time clapped the seahorse beneath her, both seahorses immediately veered aside with their riders.

While their aura was concealed, the two seahorses could not be hidden.

However, under normal circumstances, a Sun Blaze-level star beast would not be interested in such Star System-level seahorses, just as Lu Ye is uninterested in Divine Sea cultivators now, as their power disparity is too great to foster the thought of bullying.

Yet Yann Miao felt a sinking in her heart as the seahorses altered their direction and the Sun Blaze star beast also changed its course.

Yann Miao immediately realized the situation was unfavorable; it was likely a foraging Sun Blaze star beast, otherwise, it wouldn't ignore even the two Constellation seahorses.

At this point, even abandoning the seahorse was useless, as her Moon Jade aura would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Sun Blaze star beast.

Yann Miao's figure flickered; she positioned herself ahead of Lu Ye on the seahorse, retrieved her conch shell, and blew it while watching ahead.

She had quite high confidence in the power of her conch shell, as there was a precedent of driving away a Sun Blaze star beast in the past.

The low hum of the conch shell resonated, and the incoming Sun Blaze star beast indeed halted, seemingly affected, stopping not far ahead and hesitating.

Yann Miao persistently blew the conch while keeping her gaze fixed on that direction.

"Roar!" An angry roar emanated from that side, full of ferocity, accompanied by a palpable Sun Blaze force, causing the seawater to churn, even the two seahorses trying desperately to steady themselves floundered left and right.

Yann Miao's face changed slightly, realizing this Sun Blaze star beast differed somewhat from the one she previously drove away. When she blew the conch back then, the invading Sun Blaze star beast in the Merfolk Territory fled instantly as if confronted by a nemesis.

Yet, although turbulent now, this beast did not immediately retreat. Instead, its aura grew increasingly dangerous.

Could it be her conch is ineffective against this beast? Yann Miao felt anxious.

There was absolutely no place to hide here; if the conch's power proves futile, both she and Lu Ye would be in grave danger.

The deep hum of the conch had not stopped, yet the Sun Blaze star beast's constant roar showed its apprehension of the perceived threat ahead, hesitating without moving forward, resulting in a tense standoff!

Lu Ye, still behind Yann Miao on the seahorse, strained his Ocular Power looking ahead; unfortunately, the seawater's impediment was severe, and despite the short distance, he couldn't see the Sun Blaze star beast clearly. Judging by the current situation and Yann Miao's expression, things seemed… rather bad.

Indeed, the All Phenomena Ocean is fraught with peril, not a place to roam carelessly.

On his first visit, he considered swimming out of the All Phenomena Ocean only to encounter a Sun Blaze star beast midway, forcing him to retreat to the Constellation Palace; this time he's faced with one again.

Wasn't the number of Sun Blaze star beasts in the All Phenomena Ocean supposed to be few? Why does he keep running into them?

In reality, the Sun Blaze star beasts in the All Phenomena Ocean are indeed scarce; however, he and Yann Miao had been navigating it for half a month, and walking dark paths long enough inevitably leads to meeting devils.
