Chapter 2793: Chapter 2793: A Visit

After Fang Bai settled down on Ziyun Star, the first thing he did was set up a stall in the cultivation resource exchange market within Ziyun City, once again embarking on his life of alchemy and artifact refining.

There was no choice, because Scorpion Clan Ancestor was lurking nearby Ziyun Star, intent on capturing him, forcing him to stay put and earn divine crystals this way for his own cultivation and that of the deities in the Emperor’s Palace.

Ziyun Starlord did not expect that Fang Bai, who possessed an extraordinary holy body, would also be skilled in alchemy and artifact refining, which was a pleasant surprise for him.

Thus, although he had other plans for Fang Bai, he wasn’t in a hurry to make a move.

While Fang Bai could currently only refine the divine elixirs needed by True God Realm experts, most under Ziyun Starlord were indeed True God Realm experts who required matching divine elixirs for cultivation.

Moreover, with Fang Bai’s extraordinary holy body aptitude, the possibility of advancing to the Divine Venerable Realm in the future was quite high.

At that time, if Fang Bai could refine divine elixirs required by Divine Venerable Realm experts, it would undoubtedly be excellent news for Ziyun Starlord.

Therefore, Ziyun Starlord decided to abandon his original thinking akin to the Scorpion Clan Ancestor and instead opted to recruit Fang Bai, wanting him to serve the Starlord Hall.

Ziyun Starlord possessed extensive abilities, with powerful techniques to control Divine Realm experts, similar to Fang Bai’s Soul Capturing Heart Refining Technique.

Therefore, he believed that even if Fang Bai’s cultivation level reached the Divine Venerable Realm, he could still firmly control him.

This way, Fang Bai wouldn’t need to worry about his safety.

Fang Bai noticed this change from Ziyun Starlord as well, which secretly relieved him.

In truth, the skills he showcased in alchemy and artifact refining were not only for earning divine crystals for cultivation but also to attract Ziyun Starlord’s attention and dispel any harmful intentions he might have.

Now it seemed this strategy had worked, as Ziyun Starlord’s gaze no longer had the unusual glint similar to the Scorpion Clan Ancestor.

So in the following period, Fang Bai became the Elder of Tribute in the Starlord Hall, specializing in alchemy and artifact refining for True God Realm experts.

Meanwhile, the Starlord Hall, as per Fang Bai’s requests, returned large amounts of orange divine crystals to him.

With the aid of orange divine crystals containing more divine power, Fang Bai led a secluded life, using his time between refining divine elixirs and artifacts for the Starlord Hall and cultivating.

The deities in the Emperor’s Palace also followed Fang Bai’s orders, diligently cultivating.

Given the continuous support of orange divine crystals, the deities in the Emperor’s Palace quickly advanced in strength.

Especially Fang Bai’s confidante and several direct disciples, who, possessing innate spiritual roots and exceptional talents, surpassed others and reached the mid-stage of the Void God Realm.

Thus, the overall strength of the deities in the Emperor’s Palace ascended to a new level.

One day, Zishi and Ziyu, father and daughter, came to visit.

After some rest, Ziyu had fully recovered from her injuries, wearing a purple dress, surrounded by divine aura, looking exceptionally radiant.

Their visit this time was firstly to express gratitude for Fang Bai’s life-saving grace and secondly to foster a good relationship with him.

After all, Fang Bai was now the Elder of Tribute in the Starlord Hall, with esteemed status, highly sought after.

Besides these reasons, with Fang Bai’s exceptional aptitude as an alchemist and artifact refiner, his limitless potential future made him well worth befriending by the father and daughter.

"No need for thanks. I have a question I’d like to ask you..."

Fang Bai exchanged pleasantries with Zishi and Ziyu, then spoke.

Zishi straightened his face and said, "Brother Fang, feel free to ask whatever you have in mind. I’ll speak truthfully without holding back."

Fang Bai nodded and then waved his hand to activate the isolation formation he had set up around the temple.

Seeing this, Zishi understood Fang Bai’s question was not meant for others, including Ziyun Starlord, and grew even more serious.

After some thought, Fang Bai asked, "Do you interact much with Ziyun Starlord?"

Zishi shook his head and said, "I’ve only met Ziyun Starlord a few times."

Pausing for a moment, he laughed at himself, "Maybe my strength is too weak to catch Ziyun Starlord’s attention. At times, when discussing important matters relating to Ziyun Star experts, I am not on the guest list at the Starlord Hall."

Fang Bai continued, "How much do you know about Ziyun Starlord? Like his character, temperament, etc."

"Well..."

Zishi furrowed his brows, pondering seriously, seeming to be in deep thought.

Fang Bai didn’t interrupt, patiently waiting.

After a moment, Zishi spoke, "Regarding Ziyun Starlord... to be honest, I can hardly see through him. But I’ve heard that Ziyun Starlord isn’t of human lineage but belongs to the Starry Sky Demon Clan. He ascended to power after killing the previous starlord a millennium ago."

"Starry Sky Demon Clan?"

Fang Bai raised his eyebrows, wondering if the "Starry Sky Demon Clan" mentioned by Zishi was as brutal, bloodthirsty, and a formidable enemy of the Immortal Realm as the Demon Clan.

However, seeing Zishi’s expression, it seemed he harbored no hatred when mentioning the Starry Sky Demon Clan, indicating that this clan wasn’t a mortal enemy like other tribes.

Furthermore, during his time on Ziyun Star, Fang Bai understood that the majority of the powerful beings here were of the Human Clan, living in harmony with other tribes. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

If the Starry Sky Demon Clan were mortal enemies of the Human Clan, how could the millions of human experts on Ziyun Star tolerate it?

"Why did Brother Fang suddenly ask about this?"

Zishi looked at Fang Bai, thoughtfully asking.

Fang Bai wasn’t familiar with Zishi, so naturally wouldn’t tell the truth, waving his hand, "Nothing really... I just felt Ziyun Starlord was somehow different from our Human Clan experts, so I asked casually."

Zishi didn’t suspect anything, and laughed, "Indeed, if you look suddenly, the Starry Sky Demon Clan is no different from us; however, with careful observation, you’ll find their pupils are slightly red. Especially during combat, their pupils turn blood-red."

Fang Bai nodded, thinking that the Demon Clan of the Immortal Realm and the Starry Sky Demon Clan both had blood-red pupils, which might suggest a common origin long ago.

Afterwards, instead of further probing about Ziyun Starlord, Fang Bai subtly steered the conversation towards the Starry Sky Demon Clan.

Through chatting with Zishi, he learned that the Starry Sky Demon Clan is inherently greedy, brutal, and bloodthirsty, albeit milder than the Demon Clan of the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, although the Starry Sky Demon Clan is bloodthirsty, they don’t indiscriminately harm relatives and friends like the Immortal Realm’s Demon Clan, consuming blood only when encountering mortal enemies.

Precisely because of this, the Demon Clan within the Starry Sky Tribes could establish a foothold, otherwise they would have long been attacked collectively.
