chapter 10 i can save you

"Who I am doesn't matter, and how I know doesn't matter either."
"What matters is that your condition is becoming more severe."
"Now, it's not just on the first and fifteenth day of each month but every day, both at midnight and midday, your symptoms show signs of flaring up."
"I can tell you, if this continues, not only will your cultivation be at risk, but your life will also be in jeopardy."
"However, I can save you."
"And I can even help you easily break through to the later stages of Earth Level."
Elias suddenly stepped forward, swift as a ghost, leaning in towards Pavilion Master, whispering these words in a low voice.
Due to the proximity, waves of a captivating fragrance penetrated her nostrils.
The Pavilion Master's delicate and jade-like ears tempted Elias to take a bite.
Elias's words were so faint that only Pavilion Master could hear.
"Impudent!"
"How dare you flirt with the Pavilion Master! Guards, immediately arrest this wastrel."
Refiner Lu exclaimed, shocked at Elias's bold move. He knew well about the Pavilion Master's esteemed status within Spiritual Treasures Pavilion.
If any harm befell her, everyone in this Moon City branch, including himself, would likely face severe consequences.
Immediately, all the guards in the hall, fueled by anger, closed in on Elias, ready to take action.
"Cease all of you!"
Pavilion Master suddenly shouted sternly.
"Can you save me?"
She believed Elias's words now.
There was no room for disbelief.
Her condition had appeared two years ago.
And in that time, she had sought renowned doctors.
However, there was not any improvement.
The condition only worsens.
Disheartened, she had sought refuge in the relatively remote Moon City.
She never expected a young stranger to expose her condition accurately.
What shocked her even more was that every word Elias uttered was precise and accurate.
Even her parents didn't know the details so clearly!
"Of course, it's true."
"But, why should I, out of the blue, be so kind as to help without any reason?"
Elias stepped back, hands behind his back, speaking indifferently and a bit coldly.
Pavilion Master, with a complex expression in her eyes, stared at Elias for a moment.
"Fine!"
"I believe you."
"Whatever conditions you have, just state them."
Pavilion Master took a deep breath, her chest heaving dramatically, as she made a decision.
"Pavilion Master, please don't be fooled by this wastrel."
"He's a scammer!"
Refiner Lu interjected, his face changing rapidly, attempting to dissuade her.
He thought Elias might have deceived Pavilion Master with his lies.
"Silence!"
"I know what I'm doing!"
The Pavilion Master reprimanded Refiner Lu.
Though he had much to say, he dared not utter another word.
He was acutely aware of his lowly status in front of the Pavilion Master.
"However, I hope you're clear about the consequences of deceiving me."
"It's not something a mere Moon City Ye Family can bear."
Pavilion Master said sharply, her gaze fixed on Elias, enunciating each word.
"In the future, you'll surely be very grateful to yourself for making such a correct decision today."
"My condition is this: I provide an Elixir Formula, and we cooperate in its development. The proceeds from its sale will be split fifty-fifty with Spiritual Treasures Pavilion."
Originally, Elias only intended to sell an Elixir Formula to Spiritual Treasures Pavilion.
However, the situation had changed, and now, he had the qualification to state his conditions, ensuring maximum benefit.
"Alright, I agree."
Pavilion Master nodded in agreement.
At this moment, what mattered most to her was the possibility of curing her illness. As for the cooperation with Elias, whether it was profitable or not, she no longer cared.
"Pavilion Master, this is not advisable!"
Refiner Lu's face changed drastically, unable to stop himself from speaking up once again.
In his view, it was preposterous for a wastrel young master from a small family to seek cooperation with the Spiritual Treasures Pavilion.
Even more incredible was Pavilion Master agreeing.
"Ojas, silence!"
Pavilion Master glared, reprimanding him sharply.
"Alright, Young Master Ye, please come to the VIP room for further discussion."
Pavilion Master gestured, and her tone softened.
"How is this possible? Did I mishear?"
"Spiritual Treasures Pavilion's Pavilion Master has agreed to cooperate with Elias!"
...
This scene left everyone in the hall dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
However, faced with the undeniable reality, they had no choice but to believe.
"You little bastard, no matter what lies you used to deceive the miss, I will expose you. At that time, your fate will be miserable!"
Refiner Lu, with a sinister gaze, stared at Elias, grinding his teeth.
Although Elias spoke to Pavilion Master in a low voice, Refiner Lu did not hear what he said.
Still, he was convinced that Elias must have used some lies to gain Pavilion Master's trust.
"Wait."
"You mentioned earlier about capturing me and having the head of the Ye Family personally come to collect me, giving you a satisfactory explanation?"
Elias's fierce gaze suddenly fixed on Refiner Lu.
"It was me who said that."
"What's it to you?"
Refiner Lu's face slightly changed.
"Immediately make this old dog leave Moon City. I don't want to see him again."
"Otherwise, our cooperation is canceled."
Elias's tone was domineering.
"Wastrel!"
"How dare you insult me!"
"Just because Pavilion Master believes your lies, you think you can do as you please?"
Refiner Lu roared in anger.
"Young Master Ye, this is excessive."
Pavilion Master frowned.
"Then let's cancel our cooperation."
Elias stepped outside.
"Wait!"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Pavilion Master's exquisite face, and then, she called out.
"Pavilion Master, you don't believe this wastrel's words, do you?"
Refiner Lu's body trembled violently, and his eyes turned red.
"Pack up your belongings immediately and leave Moon City."
"Having Master Huang here is enough."
Pavilion Master pondered for a moment and said.
"Pavilion Master..."
Refiner Lu took a step back, his eyes reddened, appearing extremely unwilling.
He had worked hard to earn this opportunity.
He finally had the chance to follow this beautiful Pavilion Master to Moon City, becoming the chief Elixir Refiner.
This beautiful Pavilion Master had a high status within Spiritual Treasures Pavilion.
Even in the future, the entire Spiritual Treasures Pavilion of the Great Qin Empire could be under her control!
To become her trusted subordinate was an incredible opportunity that countless Elixir Refiners within Spiritual Treasures Pavilion wouldn't dare to dream of.
As long as they gained her trust, the future would be boundless!
However, now he was facing the possibility of being expelled from Moon City.
It was likely that, after this incident, the Pavilion Master wouldn't allow him to follow her anymore.
This meant that his promotion dreams within the Spiritual Treasures Pavilion were directly crushed!
"Do I need to say it again?"
Pavilion Master glanced indifferently at Refiner Lu.
Refiner Lu's body trembled, and his gaze toward Elias was filled with resentment, unwillingness, and shame.
In the end, Refiner Lu disheartened, went to pack his belongings and left Spiritual Treasures Pavilion.
He understood Pavilion Master's temperament. Once she spoke, there was no room for negotiation.
"All right, Pavilion Master. Now we can discuss the details of our cooperation."
Elias nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
"Good, Young Master Ye, please."
Pavilion Master gestured.
Then, she led Elias through the back door of the hall into a room that was elegantly decorated.
A waiter followed them in, offering tea and water.
"Young Master Ye, I'm called Bulan. You can address me by my name."
Pavilion Master invited Elias to take a seat and spoke with a melodious voice, pleasant to the ears, with a unique fragrance of a young girl filling the room.
