Join the ServerXian Yuan instantly rolled her eyes and declared, “Sister! You can’t be this ruthless, can you? A thousand immortal crystals for one antidote pill, no less!”
“Five hundred! I only have five hundred! Not a single coin more!”
The cultivator in the yellow immortal dress quickly revised her offer.
Xian Yuan sighed deliberately. “Five hundred it is, then! I never imagined you’d be so impoverished.”
Both female cultivators felt their hearts seize up in exasperation.
“If we’re poor, then just give us the antidote!”
Xian Yuan produced two antidote pills, tossing one to the cultivator in the yellow immortal dress and the other to the remaining female cultivator.
“Pleasure doing business.”
Having dispensed the antidotes, Xian Yuan promptly chose to make a swift escape. Why linger and risk capture?
“Damn your ancestors!”
Both cultivators nearly spat blood in outrage. This individual was truly too ruthless, akin to a petty landlord’s stingy heir.
They hastily swallowed the antidotes, and only then did the strange sensation plaguing their bodies finally recede.
“Damn it, how dare they trick this granny! I’ll find someone to end you.”
The cultivator in the yellow immortal dress fumed, tearing a jade talisman from her sash, crushing it, and then speaking into it, “Senior Sister, please hurry! Someone drugged and harassed me…”

Meanwhile, Xian Yuan continued her journey of administering drugs, and many cultivators fell victim to her schemes.
Three days later
“Witch, where do you think you’re going!”
“Hand over the goods, now!”
“…”
Within a certain part of the secret realm, a furious throng of cultivators glared at the young woman before them. Many among them had suffered at the hands of this ‘witch,’ their teeth grinding with frustration. This ‘witch’ was none other than Xian Yuan herself. Over the past three days, Xian Yuan had plundered numerous cultivators, often resorting to drugging them to ‘slaughter the chicken’ (TL Note: A common Chinese saying meaning to kill the warning chicken to scare the monkeys, implying a brutal demonstration of power or a decisive strike) or outright humiliating them without a shred of decency. The live broadcast outside had clearly captured these events, leading everyone to deem Xian Yuan utterly shameless. On the main platform, many from various sects and aristocratic families watched Shen Xiulan, the Island Master of Heavenly Gate Island.
‘Is this truly what you teach?’ they wondered. ‘Is this a disciple of your Heavenly Gate Island?’
Shen Xiulan, her face a mask of exasperation, wished to convey: ‘Wouldn’t normal methods suffice? Why resort to such antics and make a spectacle of yourselves?’
At that moment, Shen Xiulan simply wanted to declare, ‘I don’t know anyone named Xian Yuan!’

Inside the secret realm
“Fellow Daoist, it would be best if you surrendered it. It’s for the good of us both.”
Murong Fier, clad in purple, spoke with a cool demeanor.
“Heh heh, if you desire this supreme treasure so much, then come and claim it yourselves!”
Xian Yuan grinned, “What I seize is mine.”
“A true Daoist would not snatch others’ possessions in such an underhanded manner,” Murong Fier stated, maintaining her aloof posture.
‘Does the spatial ring bear your name?’ Xian Yuan scoffed inwardly, curling her lip. ‘If one were truly ‘光明磊落’ (TL Note: Upright and honorable) in this treacherous Qiyuan Realm, they’d likely be devoured until not even their bones remained.’
Upon hearing her words, Murong Fier’s beautiful face turned ashen.
The assembled cultivators, too, were taken aback by Xian Yuan’s utter lack of shame.
At that moment, Xian Yuan suddenly turned her head, fixing Murong Fier with a playful smirk.
“You truly are beautiful! Far prettier than those other ugly wretches.”
Xian Yuan licked her lips, her gaze brazenly raking over Murong Fier’s exquisite, graceful figure. ‘Tsk, tsk, truly a masterpiece!’
“Haha! Beauty! I also adore your chest! Your waist is slender and soft! Your hips are full and perky, and your backside is incredibly shapely—truly captivating!”
A flush of crimson bloomed across Murong Fier’s face upon hearing these words; never before had she been subjected to such brazen impropriety. Yet, she quickly regained her composure, stating coldly, “As a woman, do you not feel shame uttering such vulgarities?”
“What’s wrong? You won’t even let me look. If I can’t look, how can one feel the urge to procreate, how can the future be continued? There’s nothing vulgar about it,” Xian Yuan retorted, casually flicking her hair, utterly disregarding Murong Fier’s indignation.
“You!…”
Murong Fier was choked with fury! Since childhood, she had always been the center of attention, adored by all; never had she endured such treatment.
However, she did not immediately erupt in anger. Instead, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and declared, “Since you refuse to willingly surrender these treasures, I shall no longer be courteous! I will personally search for them myself!”
As her words faded, she swept her sleeve, and a majestic long spear materialized in her grasp. The spear emanated a subtle aura of destruction, instilling a profound sense of unease in all who perceived it.
“That’s the Demon Slaying Spear!”
“The Demon Slaying Spear! Does this mean Murong Fier is the next family head?!”
“That’s the Murong Family’s ancestral treasure!”
Not only were the assembled cultivators stunned, but even several influential figures observing from outside turned their gazes towards Murong Fier’s grandfather, Murong Yuntian.
“So, Fier, this girl, is your successor?”
“Fier is indeed a formidable girl; truly worthy of being your granddaughter.”
Hearing the widespread praise, Murong Yuntian felt a surge of pride. There was no denying it: Murong Fier was indeed the Murong Family’s rising star, his most cherished granddaughter.
Meanwhile, at the live broadcast venue,
the young lady was also posing a question to Master Ma.
“Master Ma, what do you predict the outcome will be?”
“Tea Immortal, the outcome is quite obvious. Unless a miracle occurs, no one can change it.”
