Chapter 506

[Three days later, Ye Yu began to feel somewhat frustrated.]

[Along the way, he hadn’t seen a single purple attribute.]

[Most were ordinary blue and green attributes.]

[What’s the meaning of this? Is my luck really this bad?]

[Or are purple attributes already extremely rare, almost impossible to come by?]

[What should I do?]

[Should I be a bit reckless and let this death warrior beside me help out?]

[Ye Yu instinctively glanced left, but Zhao Jia was nowhere to be seen.]

[Hmm? Where did he go?]

[Ye Yu turned his head and suddenly noticed Zhao Jia not far behind, happily eating a roasted demon duck.]

[The way he devoured it looked delicious enough to make anyone hungry.]

[But honestly, isn’t this a bit much?]

[Wasn’t he supposed to be a death warrior? Personal protector?]

[How come he completely forgot?]

[They were nearly a hundred meters apart.]

[How is that protection supposed to work, telepathically?]

[Seriously, is this relaxation taken to such an extreme?]

[Seemingly sensing Ye Yu’s gaze,]

[Zhao Jia instinctively put the roasted demon duck behind his back, then flashed over to Ye Yu with an embarrassed smile.]

[“Young master, sorry about that. Just now this Profound Ice Duck ambushed me. In anger, I burned it with fierce fire.”]

[“I originally planned to discard it, but suddenly it smelled so delicious I wanted to offer it to you.”]

[“But fearing it might be poisonous, I tasted it myself first.”]

[“Hmm, it should be safe. Young master, you should try a bite.”]

[After saying this, Zhao Jia pulled out the roast duck from behind him.]

[To his surprise, only the duck’s head and butt remained.]

[Zhao Jia was slightly stunned.]

[Too late to put it away, too early not to, so he forced out an awkward yet polite smile.]

[Ye Yu took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself.]

[Then said in a low voice, “Bring out the map of Juque Prefecture.”]

[Zhao Jia nodded, swallowing the duck’s head and butt whole in accordance with the principle of no waste.]

[Then he took out the Juque Prefecture map from his storage ring.]

[“Young master, I’ve heard that near Wangu Dao, a demonic artifact is about to emerge. We can go check it out.”]

[Zhao Jia said while pointing at a red dot on the map with his thick finger.]

[What is most important for a young traveler?]

[It’s the thrill of novelty.]

[What could be more interesting than snatching a newly born demonic artifact?]

[And the script Madam designed this time was very intriguing.]

[Young master would, guided, painstakingly obtain that demonic artifact.]

[Tsk tsk, a good script.]

[Unexpectedly, Ye Yu slapped Zhao Jia’s finger away and seriously said, “We’re not going to Wangu Dao!”]

[Zhao Jia looked puzzled.]

[Then hurriedly said, “Young master, that’s a demonic artifact emerging!]

[Competing with all the heroes of the Demon Realm for it would be so exciting! Very interesting!”]

[Ye Yu said expressionlessly, “I, at late Foundation Establishment stage, compete with heroes for a demonic artifact? Are you telling me you weren’t poisoned by that duck?”]

[This immediately left Zhao Jia speechless.]

[Uh, that’s actually reasonable.]

[But Wangu Dao was the planned route.]

[How could we just skip it?]

[Even the smallest change could cause a butterfly effect.]

[No, absolutely can’t change it!]

[Zhao Jia quickly said, “Young master, you...”]

[Before he finished, Ye Yu interrupted, “Find a nearby sect for me to visit."]

[If there’s a disciple recruitment meeting soon, that’d be best.”]

[Ye Yu’s idea was simple: cast a wide net and quickly identify targets.]

[Especially at disciple recruitment meetings, the crowd is dense, and the chance of prodigies appearing is higher.]

[Most importantly, their power at that time would still be weak, making it easier to deal with them—perfect timing.]

[Zhao Jia frowned, wanting to object.]

[But Ye Yu raised his hand to stop him.]

[Seeing Ye Yu’s determined eyes, Zhao Jia finally said no more.]

[From these past days, he’d noticed Ye Yu was very headstrong; what he wanted to do was beyond Zhao Jia’s influence.]

[If so, he could only inform Madam to change the route.]

[After thinking a moment, Zhao Jia stepped aside and used a communication stone to contact her.]

[Ye Yu, meanwhile, calmly began thinking about places where fortune masters might appear.]

[Two hours later,]

[Zhao Jia arranged everything and hurriedly approached Ye Yu, saying, “Young master, three thousand li north lies a demon sect called Zhutian Fang.”]

[“Tomorrow is their public disciple recruitment meeting, and many demons will attend. It’ll definitely be lively.”]

[“We can go check it out.”]

[Zhutian Fang had a long-standing tradition and profound heritage, undoubtedly a first-class sect in Juque Prefecture.]

[Most importantly, its sect master Huangfu Jin was a good friend of Demon Master Ye Chenyin.]

[Going there would also ensure young master’s safety.]

[Ye Yu gladly agreed.]

[Without hesitation, the two soared toward Zhutian Fang.]

[For Zhao Jia, the three-thousand-li distance was no burden.]

[They arrived within the time it took for incense to burn.]

[Since the recruitment hall would only open tomorrow, hundreds of demons had already gathered outside.]

[They had arrived early to wait.]

[Zhao Jia had planned to use a token to bring Ye Yu directly inside.]

[But Ye Yu refused.]

[He said he preferred lively scenes, so he wanted to rest outside today.]

[This made Zhao Jia a little embarrassed.]

[But scanning around, he saw all demons at the outer gate were below Golden Core stage, so he agreed.]

[Ye Yu stood outside the gates of Zhutian Fang with his hands behind his back, scanning the many demons around.]

[Soon, he found a suitable target.]

[A male demon leaning in a corner ahead.]

[Above his head, Ye Yu saw two purple attributes.]

[Excellent Cultivation (Purple): Regardless of cultivation method, effects are doubled.]

[Sword Dao Affinity (Purple): Extremely apt in the path of the sword, with innate affinity for any sword technique.]

[To be honest, this kid was damn lucky, having two such practical purple attributes at once.]

[Simply too much.]

[Ye Yu was displeased and walked straight over, taking out ten high-grade demon stones from his storage ring and placing them before the youth.]

[“I feel a connection to you; how about we become friends?”]
