Billy and his group turned their heads to see three figures flying towards them. Two of them were familiar faces, Cheyanne Stark from Heaven’s Tea House and the gray-robed elder.
The one speaking was the white-haired elder leading them, likely a high-ranking member of Heaven’s Tea House.
“Who are you?” Keith frowned slightly at the white-haired elder, probing his cultivation level. Not weak, a Sixth Grade Supreme Source Realm!
“Conor Stark from Heaven’s Tea House, greetings to Mr. Keith!” The white-haired elder cupped his hands in salute as he approached.
“Heaven’s Tea House?” Keith frowned again. “This matter has nothing to do with your Heaven’s Tea House. You’d better not meddle!”
“There is something Mr. Keith might not know,” Conor Stark smiled. “Mr. Billy is a distinguished guest of our Heaven’s Tea House, and we are currently entrusting him with a very important task. Therefore, we cannot stand by and watch him risk his life.”
“Are you sure you want to interfere?” Keith said coldly. “You’d better think carefully about the consequences of opposing Universe Palace!”
“I’ve said, Mr. Billy is a distinguished guest of our Heaven’s Tea House!” Conor Stark replied firmly.
“You’re asking for trouble!” Keith responded sternly. “I must take them away today. If Heaven’s Tea House dares to intervene, try it!”
“Mr. Keith, this is Decadent City, not Universe Palace. I advise you to reconsider,” Conor Stark replied. “You should know that while Heaven’s Tea House cannot contend with the entire Universe Palace, stopping you alone is not a problem.”
As he spoke, several powerful auras faintly fluctuated in the sky above Decadent City.
“Very well!” Keith glared at Conor Stark. “Universe Palace will remember this, and we will settle this score one day!”
He clearly knew the other party was not bluffing. With Heaven’s Tea House’s strength, if they truly wanted to deal with him, he had no chance of winning.
After speaking, he turned to Billy again. “Kid, we will meet again soon. I hope you can still be this tough next time!”
With that, he turned and flew away, followed closely by the others.
Before long, Billy and his group landed in the small courtyard of the inn with Conor Stark and his companions.
“Mr. Billy, let me introduce you to our Heaven’s Tea House’s Grand Elder,” Cheyanne Stark said to Billy.
“Thank you, Elder Conor!” Billy bowed slightly to Conor Stark.
“Mr. Billy, you’re too kind!” Conor Stark smiled. “I believe if Mr. Billy were to go all out, Keith might not be your match. So please don’t blame me for meddling.”
“Elder Conor overestimates me,” Billy smiled as well.
He knew that Heaven’s Tea House was likely aware of the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass he possessed, which explained their confidence.
“Mr. Billy is too modest!” Conor Stark continued after a pause. “Keith holds a significant position in Universe Palace. Killing him would bring you great trouble!”
“I understand,” Billy nodded.
He had no intention of killing Keith, not out of fear of Universe Palace’s retaliation but because he didn’t yet understand their situation. He was worried that killing Keith might cause unnecessary trouble for Miss Sanaa.
“By the way, Mr. Billy, you don’t need to worry too much about Miss Sanaa’s situation. She shouldn’t be in any immediate danger,” Conor Stark continued.
“Elder Conor knows about Miss Sanaa’s situation?” Billy was slightly surprised.
“I don’t know the specifics, but I have a general idea,” Conor Stark replied. “The old master of the Schroeder family is still in power, and the internal struggle between the two factions in Universe Palace hasn’t fully escalated yet. Miss Sanaa’s father can still hold his ground.”
“Keith wants to take you back to Universe Palace to use you as leverage against Miss Sanaa.”
“I understand,” Billy nodded and then asked Stout to take out a medium-sized medicine box from his storage ring and handed it to Cheyanne Stark. “Cheyanne, here are fifty high-grade Mixing Essence Pills!”
“Oh?” Cheyanne Stark was surprised. “So soon?”
“I promised ten days, and today is exactly the tenth day!” Billy smiled and continued, “Cheyanne, check them out!”
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” Cheyanne Stark smiled as well and handed one of the Mixing Essence Pills to Conor Stark. “Grand Elder, these pills were personally refined by Mr. Billy; they shouldn’t be too bad.”
“Then I’ll have a look!” Conor Stark took the pill and examined it.
“How is this possible?!” After a while, he exclaimed in shock, his face full of disbelief.
“Grand Elder, what’s wrong?” Cheyanne Stark was puzzled.
“Ninety-nine percent purity!” Conor Stark said in a trembling voice.
“What ninety-nine percent?” Cheyanne Stark was confused for a moment before realizing what he meant. “Grand Elder, are you saying this Mixing Essence Pill has ninety-nine percent purity?”
The gray-robed elder beside them also showed a look of astonishment upon hearing this.
“That’s right!” Conor Stark nodded vigorously.
As he spoke, he took out a few more Mixing Essence Pills from the box and examined them. After a while, he exclaimed again in shock, “All these pills are ninety-nine percent pure…”
Gasp!
Cheyanne Stark and the gray-robed elder both gasped in shock!
Pills with ninety-nine percent purity!
They had never seen or even heard of such pills before!
In the Seventh Grade Star Domain, it was unheard of for anyone to refine pills with more than ninety-five percent purity, let alone ninety-nine percent!
Incredible, simply incredible!
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” Conor Stark put the pills back into the box and bowed to Billy, with Cheyanne Stark and the gray-robed elder following suit.
The three of them knew very well that with these high-purity Mixing Essence Pills, Heaven’s Tea House’s strength would significantly increase in a short period!
“You three are too kind; I should be thanking you. That formula is more precious than anything!” Billy smiled.
“Mr. Billy, the Seventh Grade Star Domain will likely fall into chaos soon; be careful!” Conor Stark continued. “If you ever need Heaven’s Tea House’s help in the future, just ask!”
“Thank you!” Billy responded.
After a few more exchanges, Conor Stark left with Cheyanne Stark and the gray-robed elder.
Soon after, as they walked down the street, Conor Stark looked at Cheyanne Stark. “Cheyanne, you’ve done very well this time; you deserve great credit!”
“Thank you for the praise, Uncle; it was my duty!” Cheyanne Stark replied with a smile.
“In the future, if Mr. Billy has any needs within Heaven’s Tea House’s capabilities, do your best to fulfill them!” Conor Stark instructed again.
“Also, inform everyone that Mr. Billy is a distinguished guest of our Heaven’s Tea House; no one should offend him!”
“Understood!” Cheyanne Stark nodded.
“Grand Elder, according to our information, Mr. Billy has offended quite a few people, especially those from Heaven Alliance…” The gray-robed elder spoke up.
“Heaven Alliance underestimates Mr. Billy too much. If they continue to target him, they’ll only bring trouble upon themselves!” Cheyanne Stark said.
“Cheyanne, there’s one thing I don’t understand: why does the sect master think so highly of Mr. Billy? He doesn’t even know him!” The gray-robed elder asked again.
“He may not know Mr. Billy personally, but he knows the young lady of Universe Palace!” Cheyanne Stark replied.
“Anyone who catches the eye of Universe Palace’s prodigy must be extraordinary!”
“Betting on Mr. Billy is like betting on her; there won’t be any issues!”
