Chapter 158 Tianxuan Holy Rattans
Standing up, Lyu Liang put one hand firmly on Zhu Yu’s shoulder and said slowly, stressing each syllable, “Brother Zhu, your business is my business! Could you please tell me the rough locations of the treasures which you haven’t got yet? After the war, I will help you find them!”
“Yes! Brother Zhu! We are of one mind! And there is strength in numbers! Tell us the locations, and we will help you find them!” Li Wuyi and Xu Mubai came over together and expressed their support.
Zhu Yu turned around, with his usual smile and replied gladly, “All right! Then I’ll accept your help! The two Million-Spirits Blood Pearls are in two sects in the Central Heaven District of the Pangu Origin world. Someone will fetch them for me, so you don’t need to worry about them. And I already know the rough position of the Tai-Ah Sword, the specific clues are in the hands of the Devil Clan of the Chaotic World. As for the last Million-Spirits Blood Pearl, although I have no idea of where it is now, I will be able to sense its position after I gain the other five!”
After thinking for a little while, Lyu Liang asked, “If so, collecting these five Immortal treasures is just a matter of time, which means that you have somehow achieved the first step of revenge and resurrection. Then what are those Million-Spirits Blood Pearls for?”
Zheng Xuan interrupted at this moment, “Million-Spirits Blood Pearls are the treasures of the Heavenly Alliance, with which he can ignore the suppression power of the Law of Heaven, recover his cultivation, before coming to the Mortal World, and return to the Heaven Realm without experiencing the heaven ordeal. Brother Zhu, I have to return to the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa now, and the title ‘Illusory Sea’ doesn’t belong to me anymore! I will look for you after a few days, you can’t avoid me anymore!”
Zhu Yu was puzzled at first, and then he replied with a wry smile, “What? Do you think your father would allow you to do that? Down to the Mortal World? No way! You can still help me in the Heaven Realm, and I promise that I won’t avoid you anymore. If I go back to the Heavenly Alliance someday, I may need you to put in a few good words for me, before those old ancestors!”
“Humph! If you can give up the identity of the Remote Antiquity family, why can’t I abandon the title of Immortal General?! I will go back right now and be with you within ten days. You must wait for me, to go to the relic of Immortal Devil together! Or... Hum-hum... I will tell Jiawen and Jiahao your whereabouts!” Zheng Xuan said resolutely and threatened Zhu Yu in the end.
Lyu Liang was unfamiliar with such terms as “the Remote Antiquity family” and “the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa,” but he could tell that the two of them seemed to have an extraordinary background and were supposed to come from influential families.
Although Zhu Yu seemed not to care about anything ordinarily, he was alert when he heard Zheng Xuan’s last sentence. He waved his hands hastily and said, “Oh, please, don’t tell them my whereabouts and what you saw just now. If they know these, they may act rashly and alert the enemy directly! I swear, with the life-bonded oath, that I will wait for you!”
Seeing that Zhu Yu was so nervous, Zheng Xuan gave a smile of victory. She nodded and said, “You said it, and I didn’t force you to! Don’t worry. I’m a good keeper of secrets. Besides, I will go to my master directly and won’t return to the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa.”
The two argued for a while, and then the figure of Zheng Xuan disappeared in the night sky, leaving Zhu Yu shaking his head resignedly and the other people trying to hold back their laughter.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yu stayed in the Blood Divine Sect to wait for Zheng Xuan, and Xu Mubai, the host, stayed there too. Lyu Liang, Li Wuyi, and the people of the Wanxiang Sect, headed to the main battlefield, in batches.
Since the puppet troop was large not only in size but also in quantity, the transmission formation could transfer two puppets at most, at a time, which cost both time and Primordial Stones. Therefore, flying there, although it would take about a month, would be a better choice!
Lyu Liang decided to go to the Jibo Territory through the transmission formation with only Yang Ying and Wen Ying. After all, it would take too long by merely flying.
Even so, the route was still twisty. Starting from the Wufang Territory, they needed to pass in succession through the Earth-Sea Territory, the Tianyuan Territory, and the Green-City Region where they would set off to the Jibo Territory through the transmission formation. They would reach the main battlefield eventually.
Lyu Liang wanted to meet the founding father of Sword Character and other people earlier, so he went through those transmission formations, one after another, almost nonstop. After five days, he finally got to the Green-City Region.
The place they reached was the Vine Country, the biggest one in the Green-City Region. The country, as its name implied, was lush with countless huge trees. Besides, many buildings were built on the trunks or vines, which added a distinctive flavor to the place.
Seeing that the girls beside him were both excited and curious, Lyu Liang announced that they would stay here for one day, before heading to the next transmission formation, which cheered the girls up. They had been hoping to visit such an exotic place, for a long time already.
Therefore, the three found an inn and planned to wander around in the daytime, and meet after sundown.
Lyu Liang’s target was clear—the market place, where he might find some useful objects although he had nothing particular to buy. The girls had no plan at all and went wherever it was bustling and lively. They were so curious that their behavior was not like the powerful beings of Almighty Immortal. Even the ordinary cultivators of Gold Core were more composed than them.
But for Lyu Liang, he felt very comforted. After all, the girls had been in a war-environment of blood and fire. And now they were free, which was indeed something to cheer about and expect.
Lyu Liang let Black help him take care of the girls deliberately and be their contact. After all, with the covenant oath, Black now knew where Lyu Liang was, without having to rely on a treasure, to sense his aura.
To avoid being too conspicuous, Lyu Liang changed himself into a hefty, whiskered man and suppressed his aura to be at the late stage of Nascent Soul before he went outdoors. Although he didn’t know whether he was well-known in the Green-City Region, it was always wise to be more cautious.
After asking someone for information, Lyu Liang came to the hugest local shop, which was precisely an enormous tree over 30 meters wide and over 60 meters tall. At its bottom stood a door engraved with three golden characters—Vine Treasure Pavilion.
Just as he came in, he heard someone call out clearly and loudly, “Come and see! Here is the battle video of the brave, handsome, talented, fearless, powerful figure of the Human Clan in the Wufang Territory—Senior Lyu Liang! Now or never!”
Lyu Liang almost slipped on the ground. When he wiped his sweat, he praised himself inside, “It’s so wise to wear a disguise! It seems that my influence is much bigger than I thought.”
The page was very good at promoting his goods. He unfolded a scroll showing the video when Lyu Liang and his companions fought in the relic of Immortal Devil in Breeze Valley. The recording started from the moment when Lyu Liang took action, which meant that someone was aware of Lyu Liang’s presence and had sneaked in to record.
The video showed only the beginning of the battle when Lyu Liang called out several puppets and rushed to Ji Chang; then it went blank. It was evident that the video was stopped by a restriction formation.
“It costs only three hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones! Senior Lyu has developed a new move! The later part will show you an outstanding war involving both humans and puppets! It is such a rare video! In the whole Green-City Region, only we have such resources, and only 200 copies are available every day! We will be selling it here, for only five days! The rest will go to our branches in other countries!” Although this page’s cultivation was just at the early stage of Gold Core, his eloquence convinced numerous high-level cultivators to buy them.
Looking at those who were willing to pay extra to see the battle video, Lyu Liang felt touched but also resigned.
He had been just an ordinary kid living a carefree, naive life in the Siji Village until he came into the Virtual Land by a mere opportunity. This had brought him to today’s challenges and achievements.
Lyu Liang shook his head, glanced at the people scrambling for the videos, and was then about to go upstairs. There had been not much space for him on the first floor.
There were still many people on the second floor. The shelves were full of all kinds of magic treasures grouped into four categories—the attacking, the defending, the assisting, and the artifacts.
With a rough glance at these treatures with his Divine Sense, Lyu Liang learned that they were all at the level below Fairy Immortal. He showed no interest in them and walked to the third floor. When he was at the stairs, he was stopped by a page who clasped his hands and said respectfully, “There are rare artifacts on the third floor. If you want to come in, you need to pay a hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones as an entrance fee. If you buy something here, we will deduct the sum from the payment. But if you don’t buy anything, then we won’t return it, in principle.”
One hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones, for Lyu Liang today, was something worthless of his care than a hair on a bull’s back. He gave the entrance fee to the page without any demur and then strolled to the third floor. He wanted to see what levels these so-called rare artifacts were at.
Just as he got up, he was amused to see Yang Ying and Wen Ying. The girls were talking anxiously with a page, while the page spread his hands, resignedly.
“Misses, this Star Ink Stone is of top quality, and 8,000 mid-grade Primordial Stones is the lowest price I can give. Even if the boss comes, he won’t quote a lower price. Please don’t make it difficult for me.” The guy said this in a begging tone, but was very determined to stick to the price.
“8,000 mid-grade Primordial Stones? I’ll take it. Pack it up, and I’ll pay for it!” Lyu Liang came over and took the Star Ink Stone from the page’s hand. He turned it about and mumbled, “Well, it’s indeed good!”
Yang Ying and Wen Ying were stunned at first but then showed that they recognized that this man was Lyu Liang. They pretended to be upset and turned to see other treasures, while the page collected the payment for the item, pleasantly surprised.
“We’re so sorry that we did not have enough Primordial Stones with us. We will repay you when we have money!” Yang Ying messaged. Lyu Liang frowned and replied, “Do we need to talk about this? Just take it as a gift from Dumb. Whatever you like, Dumb will get it for you! I have nearly 10 million mid-grade Primordial Stones alone, and it’s just a waste to keep them with me. It will be better to spend them on something useful. Please feel free to use them!”
“Okay. Sister Wen Ying and I thank you very much!” Although Lyu Liang couldn’t see Yang Ying’s face, he knew from her tone that she was indeed very grateful.
Lyu Liang was glad to help them. Enjoying time together with them, was preferable to spending time alone. He was delighted to share the pleasure with his companions—this was Lyu Liang’s consistent style.
Lyu Liang continued to wander around, and just as he came to the next counter, the three divine beasts, as well as Black, roared in his Divine Soul at the same time, “Tianxuan Holy Rattans! Take all of them at any cost!”
Lyu Liang was startled—he would take a good look at what made these living fossils so excited. But he didn’t even need any guidance and was soon attracted by a golden brocade box not far away.
There were three branches of different sizes in the box, and the longest one was just about 10 centimeters. All of them exuded a refreshing fragrance. Lyu Liang’s eyes lit up suddenly, and without needing anyone to inform him, he knew that this was something extraordinary!
He grabbed a page near him, and without any hesitation, said in a low voice, “I’ll take all the three branches in the brocade box!”
The page was stunned and then looked at Lyu Liang up and down. He said with a smile, “You’re so lucky! We’ve just showcased these three treasures for less than half an hour! But you want all of them? I don’t mean to decline your business, but even the smallest one is worth 10 thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones, the middle-sized one 30 thousand, and the biggest one 50 thousand. If you can’t pay right now, I’m afraid I can’t do the deal with you!”
Lyu Liang was shocked at first, but then he reflected for a while and recalled what the Spirit Beasts said. Therefore, he waved his hand, and six storage bags emerged right before him.
“These are 90 thousand mid-grade Primordial Stones. You can count them. If there is not any problem, let’s do this deal.” Lyu Liang looked very calm, but actually, he felt a heartache inside, “These are 80 percent of my property! I will spend them on three branches whose functions I have no idea of...”
Of course, Lyu Liang trusted the divine beasts unconditionally, so he didn’t regret buying the branches, with those Primordial Stones.
The page was very efficient and finished counting the money within half an hour. He looked at Lyu Liang with shining eyes, as if he had just seen the god of fortune in the flesh. He covered the box with the lid quickly, and handed it to Lyu Liang.
But just as Lyu Liang was about to get the box, a figure appeared in a flash, and grasped the page’s hand. At the same time, the entire room resounded with a roar, shocking everyone’s Divine Soul, “100 thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones. I’ll take all of them!”
