If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan’s soul-returning pills, Mo Jianming’s soul might not even have recovered. Even if his life wasn’t in danger, his cultivation and realm would have fallen greatly.

Mo Jianming had always been the strongest in the Sword Sect. If this matter was known by those with ulterior motives, the Sword Sect would not be able to intimidate the thieves and rascals. He was most afraid that someone would take advantage of this to create trouble and harm the Sword Sect.

If it were any other person, Mo Jianming wouldn’t even care about such a matter, but Ye Xuan had done him a great favor.

“Many thanks for your advice, Senior.”

“It’s not good for me to have too much contact with you. It will become inevitable that others will be suspicious. But if there’s anything you can’t deal with, you can send a message to me.”

Ye Xuan’s identity was too sensitive, and he also had the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. If others saw that Sword Sect was suddenly so close to a small sect, they would inevitably investigate it in detail.

After all, the Sword Sect didn’t even bother to deal with the other six big sects and never got involved in these things. Why would they suddenly favor Ye Xuan? There must be something strange.

Although the crowd still didn’t know that Ye Xuan was the mysterious person from the auction that night, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn’t find any clues if they investigated. Thus, Mo Jianming could only keep his distance from him.

“I understand your considerations and many thanks for your concern, Senior.”

Ye Xuan also didn’t expect that the pills he casually gave would be exchanged for the help of such a strong person.

After all, the soul-returning pill was extremely precious to Mo Jianming, but it was useless to him. It was like chicken ribs, tasteless but a pity to throw away.

“Hold onto this jade pendant – I’ve placed a seal on it, and it’ll help you block the attacks of someone that’s a sky rank peak level. If you’re in any danger, just take it out and say my name – it’ll buy you some time to escape.”

“I also left a trace of my divine sense in the jade pendant. Once I receive the news, I’ll rush over as soon as possible.”

Ye Xuan took the jade pendant. There was a picture of a small sword carved on it. It was very lifelike and looked even sharper and more threatening. It revealed its sharpness and faintly exuded a supreme sword intent, which was almost exactly the same as the aura on Mo Jianming.

At a glance, it was a rare treasure, not to mention that it could block the attack of a sky rank powerhouse, which was the most valuable part.

Such a generous reward really surprised Ye Xuan. He said, “Back then when I helped you, it was really not a big deal for me. Senior, you…”

“You don’t have to reject me. Your pills saved me from a lot of trouble back then. If it wasn’t for you… All in all, this is a token of my appreciation, so you can just accept it.”

Mo Jianming was a little emotional. Seeing that he had already said so much, Ye Xuan couldn’t reject him. He said, “Then I’ll thank you for this, Senior.”

Ye Xuan seemed to have thought of something and stuffed a pile of bottles and jars into Mo Jianming’s hands.

“I don’t have anything to repay you, Senior, but these pills should be of some value to you.”

Mo Jianming had treated him so well, so Ye Xuan was embarrassed to take it for free.

A person of his cultivation level had seen all kinds of good things, and he wasn’t even tempted by the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. Ye Xuan thought that he didn’t have anything with him at the moment, but he thought of the soul-returning pills.

Looking at so many bottles, a guess appeared in Mo Jianming’s mind, but he felt that it was unlikely. He had already taken out so many soul-returning pills, so how could there be so many more

“These are all…?”

“I heard from you that the soul-returning pills were quite useful to you, Senior. I only have this worthless thing on me, so I hope you don’t mind, Senior.”

Ye Xuan casually opened a bottle and poured it into his palm. It was indeed a genuine soul-returning pill.

For a moment, even Mo Jianming, who had experienced many things in his life, was stunned.

“You actually have so many soul-returning pills!”

Most importantly, he actually said that these were all worthless things!

Mo Jianming couldn’t figure out whether Ye Xuan really didn’t know the value of the soul-returning pill or if he didn’t do it on purpose.

“There are ways to treat and repair other injuries. Only injuries to the soul and consciousness have to be treated with a divine soul pill. Even so, one can’t fully recover from their soul injuries.”

However, the soul-returning pills could do it, but it had been lost for a long time, and even fewer people knew about it. From this, it could be seen how precious and rare this pill was. However, to Ye Xuan, it was worthless.

For a moment, Mo Jianming didn’t know what to say.

“These pills are very precious, you should keep them for yourself.”

The injuries on Mo Jianming’s soul had almost recovered, so he no longer needed these pills. Moreover, there were still some of the previous ones left, so he didn’t want to take advantage of Ye Xuan for nothing.

“There’s no need for that, Senior. It’s a waste to keep it. I don’t need it at all. Besides, even if you don’t want it, I’m going to give it to someone else.”

Mo Jianming hurriedly took the pills when he heard this.

“Then I’ll have to thank you.”

The soul-returning pills could not only heal injuries but also strengthen one’s soul and consciousness. For people at their cultivation level, the stronger their soul was, the more powerful they would be able to crush even opponents at the same level.

This was the power of spiritual energy.

The reason why Ye Xuan didn’t use it was that he had been reborn and transmigrated. As a human being of two lives, his soul was already extraordinary and much deeper than ordinary people’s. Coupled with the effect of the system, it had long been an unfathomable existence.

Even Mo Jianming could not be compared to him, but he did not know about it.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s nonchalance, Mo Jianming could only silently accept these precious pills, which were as common as cabbages to Ye Xuan.

“Then I’ll keep these first. If you change your mind in the future, you can find me…” 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Before he could finish his words, Ye Xuan interrupted him, “Senior, you don’t have to be so polite with me. I have a lot of these things and they’re the least valuable. You can eat as much as you want.”

Ye Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly, and Mo Jianming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The only person who could say such words was probably the person in front of him.

If the people of the Tai Qing Sect were here, they would have long been used to Ye Xuan’s extravagance. After all, they had casually eaten the supreme-grade marrow cleansing pills.
