Chapter 489: Putting a Green Hat on Lu Ye

As the alchemy pills were changing during the refining process, Lu Ye’s pills directly entered a state where they were hard to come by.

With supply not meeting demand, a certain profession naturally arose—those scalpers!

Sorry, but those scalpers are also Lu Ye’s people!

What?

Scalpers have no conscience?

Please, Lu Ye hasn’t gone around exterminating other sects just because resources are scarce—he’s already showing immense kindness!

Besides, what Lu Ye is doing now is all about making money from the wealthy.

Just look at how rich folks talk, right?

Who knows, they might even thank him!

In this mad cash-grabbing situation, Lu Ye was truly raking in the dough.

To be honest, it was the first time Lu Ye realized that a person could make money like this.

In the entire Sixth Heaven, there were three hundred twenty-one forces, of which two hundred ninety opted to improve their formations.

Each one paying five million—it was just for improving formations, and Lu Ye netted over fourteen billion Source Stones.

The few other forces were simply too poor; it wasn’t that they didn’t want to improve their formations, they were just strapped for cash.

Only sixty forces were improving techniques, bringing in nearly five billion Source Stones.

And there were also the pills he refined and various cases of troublesome issues brought to him. By the end of the year, Lu Ye had racked up a total of thirty-three billion Source Stones!

Lu Ye was thrilled!

The feeling of making money was unbelievably satisfying.

Uh, speaking of which, ever since he started making money, he had just been enjoying himself!

But it really felt amazing!

Sometimes it wasn’t just spending money that felt good—making it felt great too!

That fragrant aroma wafting and settling into his pockets could not just be summed up with the word “great.”

Resources were abundant!

Lu Ye wasted no time and went straight into seclusion.

This time, he should have enough time to thoroughly delve into his Sword Technique.

Time passed quickly.

In the Sixth Heaven, aside from making money and eliminating a few Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palaces, the rest was just practice—just train as hard as he could.

The Vermilion Bird’s injuries gradually healed over time.

Shangguan Huanling sought Lu Ye out several times, and under Lu Ye’s instructions, Ning Tianming didn’t even bother to report to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye didn’t have the slightest intention of meeting them; rather than meeting them here, he’d rather soar to the Seventh Heaven to find Yin Qingcheng. After all, he had forgotten Yin Qingcheng, but he still remembered her getting into that Forgetful Sea business.

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace had already paid the price for the Forgetful Sea, so it didn’t make sense for the mastermind, Yin Qingcheng, to just relax and cultivate!

“What do we do? What do we do? Now Lu Ye won’t even meet us. We can’t delay any longer. If Lu Ye ascends quietly without a word, I won’t ever see him again!”

This was Shangguan Huanling’s biggest concern.

Without a normal Heavenly Tribulation, Shangguan Huanling could follow Lu Ye with the Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra, but now the Heavenly Tribulation was back to normal.

Shangguan Huanling didn’t even dare to improve her strength properly.

Because the higher the realm, the closer one was to facing the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation for ascending from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh was no joke; it was a matter of the four great tribulations: earth, wind, water, and fire.

The power was terrifying.

Back then, Lu Ye almost turned the four elements into Chaos just to help Shangguan Huanling face her Heavenly Tribulation, nearly exhausting himself.

The Vermilion Bird definitely couldn’t shield her from the tribulations.

So for Shangguan Huanling, there was only Lu Ye as her way up.

But Lu Ye simply wouldn’t come out!

What could she do if he wouldn’t see her?

No way, she had to force Lu Ye out, make him come to see her.

But how?

Shangguan Huanling started activating her clever brain.

How about publicizing that if Lu Ye wouldn’t meet her, she’d put a green hat on him!!!

If she said that, Lu Ye would definitely come to see her.

Once Shangguan Huanling thought of this, her eyes lit up.

But soon, she vigorously shook her head—no, no, forcing Lu Ye to see her was about helping her through tribulations.

If she used a green hat to force his hand, Lu Ye would definitely show up, and the first thing he’d do was kill her.

No way, no way.

That wouldn’t work!

But what other options did she have?

Shangguan Huanling scratched her head, sighing, why was her brain so clouded at this moment?

No, I need to ask.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth a Zhuge Liang.

Shangguan Huanling didn’t even know who Zhuge Liang was; this phrase came from Lu Ye, but with her intelligence, Shangguan Huanling quickly understood its meaning.

The three of them sat down.

“We can’t just sit around uselessly. Lu Ye won’t even see us now. We’ve got to think of a way to make him come out and meet us. Do either of you have any ideas?” Shangguan Huanling asked.

The Vermilion Bird and Sun Ruowei…

Shook their heads!

“I have a great idea! I’ll announce that I’m putting a green hat on Lu Ye; he will definitely come to see me!” Shangguan Huanling said seriously.

The Vermilion Bird suddenly stood up.

“Are you crazy???”

“No way, absolutely not! If you dare put a green hat on Lu Ye, he will kill you! He has zero tolerance for that! Don’t you know this?” the Vermilion Bird scolded sharply.

“Forget about Lu Ye turning on you; if you dare do anything like that, I’ll be the first to kill you!”

In that moment, the Vermilion Bird’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Even though Lu Ye was ignoring her now, and they seemed like strangers, if Shangguan Huanling dared to disgust Lu Ye, the Vermilion Bird wouldn’t let her off!

Shangguan Huanling shrank her neck.

“Vermilion Bird, calm down. Didn’t Lu Ye say something about breaking the window effect? I thought that if I blew the roof off, someone would agree to let me open a window… I figured if I proposed something unforgivable, you guys would suggest something forgivable…”

The Vermilion Bird…

“That’s the broken-window effect…”

“Oh, oh, oh, right, the broken-window effect.”

“So if I put forth such a shocking proposal now, do you have any better ideas?”

The Vermilion Bird…

Sun Ruowei…

Good grief, you’ve left my mind blank, and you want me to think of solutions?

The two of them started to ponder.

Getting Shangguan Huanling to come up with a good idea was like a pipe dream.

After much thought, the Vermilion Bird pondered deeply.

What could happen that would make Lu Ye show up?

The three fell into silence.

Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird’s eyes brightened.

“Since our husband is only thinking of improving his strength, why don’t we create a place for him to improve? As long as he hears about this, he’ll definitely come!”

“What place?” Shangguan Huanling asked eagerly.

“Four Spirits Blessing!”
