[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?”]
