After leaving the Fu family, Ye Xiao hesitated for a long time with his phone in hand and ultimately decided not to call Jiang Miaoke.

Spending time with Jiang Miaoke was certainly enjoyable, but Ye Xiao had too many things to do at the moment. So, he hailed a cab and headed directly to Jinling District.

In the cab, Ye Xiao thought for a moment and then called An Meihui.

An Meihui was a bit surprised to receive Ye Xiao's call, but she answered it anyway and smiled as she said, "Calling me at this time, are you trying to invite me for dinner?"

"If Sister An is willing, that would be the best." Ye Xiao's words were slick and playful.

An Meihui chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're calling because you need something, as it's not even the evening yet."

An Meihui had initially told Ye Xiao she'd visit him in the evening and bring the Red Dragon Fruit.

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Sister An is really clever. Okay, I'll be honest. I wonder if Sister An can help me get some Spiritual Dargon Fruit."

"Spiritual Dargon Fruit?" An Meihui said curiously when she heard Ye Xiao's request. "Spiritual Dargon Fruit is a top-tier Xuan Rank herb. It's costly but not hard to find."

"That's great then," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "Sister An, if you can, when you come over, could you bring some Spiritual Dargon Fruit? If it's too expensive, I can owe you."

"You're quite candid," An Meihui said.

Ye Xiao replied, "What choice do I have? I'm under Sister An's wing, so I naturally want to take advantage as much as I can."

"Alright, I'll do my best to bring them," An Meihui said.

"Thanks a lot, Sister An," Ye Xiao responded, "Then about dinner?"

"Come on. Do you think I don't realize you don't actually want to treat me to dinner? Talk to me when you genuinely want to take me out," An Meihui said.

An Meihui was right. Ye Xiao truly didn't have any intention of taking An Meihui out to dinner. There was something much more important to him now.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Sister An, your words leave me with no excuse. Looks like you're quite busy today as well. Let's plan for another day."

After few pleasantries, the call ended!

"Buddy, what's this Spiritual Dargon Fruit you mentioned? Is it something from an online game? I play Sword Spirit myself; what game are you playing?" The taxi driver thought 'Spiritual Dargon Fruit' was an item from a game and laughed while asking Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao heard the driver's question and didn't bother explaining. He followed his lead and said, "You have a wide knowledge, brother. It is indeed a game, but it hasn't been released yet. It's in testing—it's similar to those legendary games. Many game companies are developing such legendary games nowadays."

"Oh, I see. Buddy, I'd advise against playing those legendary-type games. While legendary games are classics, today's versions are just cash grabs. When they lose popularity after some time, they might just change the game's name and make it another game; it's still the same stuff. Those unscrupulous game developers don't care if the game is fun; as long as it makes money, they'll make it as exploitative as possible."

This taxi driver was evidently a seasoned gamer, as he had plenty to say about games.

Ye Xiao, being a gamer himself, certainly understood what the taxi driver was saying. But these days, isn't the goal simply to make money? If you don't want to play, you can always not play.

Ye Xiao repeatedly agreed, occasionally praising the taxi drivers' broad knowledge.

When he was about to get off, the taxi driver even invited Ye Xiao to join him in playing Sword Spirit, boasting about his skills.

Ye Xiao was amused; he'd run into such a dedicated game enthusiast.

He headed directly back to Tulip District.

When Ye Xiao reached his place, he found Wang Luoxin and the others weren't there.

After all, the Seven-colored Lamp wasn't just any ordinary person and couldn't stay idle. They might be shopping or gaming in a cybercafé, playing League of Legends.

However, as Ye Xiao walked into the living room, he suddenly noticed a black plastic bag next to the TV. Curious, he approached it, and upon checking, he smiled.

"Zhou Hao really sees me as a medicine refining tool," Ye Xiao muttered to himself, looking at the contents of the plastic bag.

The bag contained materials for making Heart Cleansing Pills and Qi Gathering Pills, those Yellow Rank herbs. Ye Xiao looked at the quantity inside and chuckled. Was he planning on mass production? However, thinking about the Azure Dragon Tripod, Ye Xiao smiled inwardly; it seems mass production is possible.

Ye Xiao picked up the black plastic bag and went straight to his room, took out the Azure Dragon Tripod, and immediately closed the window to start refining pills on the floor.

Having tried the Azure Dragon Tripod for refining medicine the night before, Ye Xiao was now very skilled. Working with these herbs was as easy as moving items from one hand to the other. In less than half an hour, he produced several Heart Cleansing Pills.

Moreover, the quality of these Heart Cleansing Pills was quite excellent.

Everything requires practice and skill.

As the saying goes, first time is tough, second time is easy, Ye Xiao felt more and more that the Azure Dragon Tripod is indeed a treasure.

Initially, Ye Xiao wanted quickly to convert all these herbs into pills. After all, only when the herbs become pills can they be turned into money, and only by getting a big sum of money can he buy expensive Dragon Blood Strengthening Pills' materials.

Ye Xiao had a reason for asking An Meihui for Spiritual Dargon Fruit while in the taxi.

Ye Xiao hoped to become stronger quickly. Although his current strength was quite good, using Dragon Blood Strengthening Pills would enhance it further, but individual strength could never surpass team power. No matter how strong a Martial Artist is, True Qi eventually runs out.

Simply put, if Ye Xiao wants to be unchallenged in Bird City among the various families, he must gain their recognition. But these Martial Arts Families are all arrogant; forcing them to submit is the only possibility.

This requires powerful means.

Of course, speaking of Bird City's families, Ye Xiao's current strength, although not enough, is almost there. But how about the Rothschild family?

Remember, An Meihui said that the Rothschild family had begun paying attention to him.
