Yet Wei Zhao's failure to recognize it did not mean the others shared his ignorance. After a few glances, Wang Xinyan blurted out, "It's actually Nourishing Mystery Herb!"

"Yes, yes! My old man got his hands on one of these once too. Just like the Nourishing Prime Devilgold Herb, it works wonders for those at the Mystery Ascension stage!" Lu Xiaozhong leapt up as well.

"Nourishing Mystery Herb?" Wei Zhao came to the realization at once. He had failed to identify it on sight, but he had seen the name in the literature. The Nourishing Prime Devilgold Herb could be refined into Nourishing Prime Pills, while this Nourishing Mystery Herb could be refined into Nourishing Mystery Pills.

The effects of the two pills were all but identical, each capable of directly raising one's cultivation by a single grade—except the former worked only on experts at the Nascent Soul stage, while the latter worked on experts at the Mystery Ascension stage.

At this moment, Wei Zhao and his companions had only just broken through to the early Mystery Ascension stage. To stumble upon Nourishing Mystery Herb now was a temptation beyond words. No wonder Chang Laiting had gone so far as to snatch even his own dao companion for the sake of this thing.

Seeing the excitement written across Wei Zhao and the others' faces, Ni Caiyue grew frightened. She fumbled the Nourishing Mystery Herb into her storage and backed away again and again. "We agreed just now—you mustn't rob me of it..."

She wore the look of a young girl cornered by a scoundrel, and she kept her eyes fixed on him besides. Wei Zhao was so speechless he wanted to scratch his head. Did he really look that much like a villain?

"No one's trying to rob you. Set your mind a hundred and twenty percent at ease," Wei Zhao said with a shake of his head, torn between laughter and tears. Then he added, "But since you want me to lead you out, you'll have to pay some price in return. That's only fair, isn't it?"

"Ah?" Ni Caiyue retreated another step and clutched the wooden box tightly to her chest. "You still say you don't want to rob me of my Nourishing Mystery Herb? I knew it—you really are a villain hiding deep!"

"Hey, hey, when did I ever say I wanted to rob you of your Nourishing Mystery Herb?" Wei Zhao spread his hands helplessly.

"You're not after my Nourishing Mystery Herb?" Ni Caiyue tilted her head, and then her eyes suddenly darted with inspiration. "Then you're after me? Well, that won't do! I won't be your concubine!"

"Concubine?!" The whole group nearly collapsed. This girl truly had a mind full of wild holes—how on earth had she leapt to concubine?

"Of course! You already have these two elder sisters for wives—if you're after me, isn't it obviously to make me a concubine?" Ni Caiyue wore the expression of one who had seen through everything.

"Who said I wanted to take you as a concubine!" Wei Zhao was on the verge of a breakdown. If he kept talking with this girl, he suspected he really would cement his reputation as a villain hiding deep. He could only state plainly, "The price I mean is simple. Just tell me where you picked this Nourishing Mystery Herb."

"So you're not after me after all. Good, good." Only then did Ni Caiyue pat her chest and breathe easy. Wei Zhao had no choice but to look away once more. After a moment, the girl said hesitantly, "But my master said this location is a top secret, absolutely not to be revealed to outsiders."

"Then there's nothing to discuss. Go back on your own—we still need to keep exploring deeper," Wei Zhao said at once with an indifferent wave of his hand.
