The bronze ring lay quietly on the tray. The body of the ring was carved with complicated and hollow patterns, which looked particularly exquisite. The most amazing thing was that the shape of the ring was like a flying dragon with the use of an ingenious technique.

There was a bright night-luminescent pearl embedded in the dragon’s mouth. It was shining even during the day. The vast spiritual energy surrounded the dragon’s body, making it look extraordinary.

The dragon seemed to be alive under the light of the pearl, as if it was about to break free of the ring’s shackles and fly into the sky.

Although the pearl was small and exquisite, its appearance was extremely perfect. Everyone’s eyes widened in wonder.

“It’s full and round, and the spiritual energy is so rare. It can be said to be the best among the night-luminescent pearls.”

“Exactly. I’ve never seen such a pearl before. I’m afraid it will cost a lot of spirit stones.”

“Just based on its appearance, it’s hard to find in this world. Even if you have spirit stones, you might not be able to buy it. I’m afraid that you’ll have to spend a lot of energy and manpower to get it. Elder Xie is indeed extraordinary.”

It was said that wearing the pearls from the East Sea could increase one’s cultivation. Whether it was used in magic weapons, pills, or formation materials, the pearls were very useful. They could greatly improve the efficacy of the items. Therefore, the night-luminescent pearls were extremely precious.

The deeper the sea, the higher the quality of the pearls produced. However, there would also be fierce sea beasts guarding them at the same time. It was difficult for ordinary people to approach, let alone pick them.

Only powerful cultivators had the ability to do so. However, the sea was different from the land. After entering the water, one’s strength would be reduced and it was very dangerous. That was why everyone was so amazed by the night-luminescent pearl that Xie Yixuan had given the sect master.

“Elder Xie must have spent a lot of effort on this night-luminescent pearl.”

Hearing the discussion around him, Xie Yixuan said humbly, “It’s not as exaggerated as everyone says.” The more nonchalant he was, the more impressed everyone was.

“However, I will get whatever the sect master likes, come hell or high water.”

“Thank you for this gift, elder. You deserve to be the first.”

“We’re truly fortunate today. Thanks to Elder Xie that we’re able to see such a top-grade night-luminescent pearl.”

“Elder Xie is so rich and generous. I can’t even hope to catch up with you.”

In the midst of the compliments, an untimely male voice suddenly rang out.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

Everyone turned around. It was Ye Xuan, who had arrived late.

The fourth elder immediately said in a strange tone, “Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it’s our busy man, Elder Ye. I thought you wouldn’t be coming to the opening ceremony this time.”

Ye Xuan didn’t seem to hear the sarcasm in his words. He said calmly, “How could that be? I was just held up by some matters.”

“What could be more important than the opening ceremony?”

Seeing that Ye Xuan was empty-handed and didn’t seem to be carrying any gifts with him, the elders looked at each other with anticipation of a good show.

The fifth elder pretended to be surprised, “Elder Ye, what’s wrong with you? You clearly know that today is the opening ceremony of the sect. Why didn’t you bring any gifts?”

“Maybe he was too busy and forgot.”

“Forgetting is a lie. I think he didn’t prepare anything at all. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to give a good gift and would lose face in front of everyone, so he made up an excuse.”

The elders exchanged glances with one another while the disciples discussed animatedly below. Their surprised or contemptuous gazes fell on Ye Xuan. A dignified elder couldn’t even present a gift. How could he convince the public in the future?

On the other hand, Ye Xuan, who was at the center of public opinion, was extremely calm.

Before Ye Xuan could speak, another rough and vigorous male voice interrupted, “Elder Xie, please pay the bill. We’ve done what you asked us to do.”

This group of people was the group of porters. He didn’t know how they had gotten here.

“Sect master, do you have any spirit stones? Can you help me pay first?”

The moment he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

Not to mention the disciples, even the elders were dumbfounded. They could not believe what they had just heard.

At the opening ceremony, not only was Ye Xuan late, but he was also empty-handed. Now he even wanted to borrow money from the sect master.

The sixth elder raised an eyebrow, “Elder Ye, you actually don’t have this small amount of money, and we also don’t know what did you hire these porters for. And now, you still want the sect master to pay for you. Isn’t this a little too absurd?”

“How can he be an elder with such moral conduct? Furthermore, he’s above us. He can’t convince the masses. Sect master, please have a deep consideration.”

Sure enough, these elders were using this matter to make a big deal out of it.

She couldn’t let these porters stand by the side all the time. After all, it was the opening ceremony of the sect. It was too much. Han Yue asked, “How many spirit stones?”

The porter smiled, revealing his white teeth. The words he said almost scared people to death, “Not much, just ten thousand spirit stones.”

Ten thousand spirit stones? And just?

One had to know that spirit stones was the most important thing to Han Yue now. Her mood suddenly fluctuated a little when she heard this, but she quickly regained her calm.

Even the others were very puzzled, “What did Elder Ye ask these porters to do? They are actually asking for ten thousand spirit stones. Usually it’s only a few dozen or a few hundred, and at most a few thousand.”

Everyone was in disbelief when they heard the sky-high price.

“Elder Ye is being too prodigal, isn’t it? You shouldn’t spend like this even if your clan has a mine.”

Han Yue couldn’t do something as embarrassing as bargaining in public. Therefore, she had to take out all the money even if she was unwilling.

Before the porters left, she even heard the porters discussing about Tai Qing Sect was really rich.
