Chapter 235: The Transaction with Seeing Suo Huan

Although the sudden appearance of Seeing Suo Huan, a Great True Person, was somewhat unexpected, Lu Yang remained calm; on one hand, it was because he was currently under the protection of the Wan Army.

By his side, there was also a 【Son of Tomorrow】.

Both Seeing Suo Huan and himself were Extramarital Heavenly Demons, both targets that the local natives of the 【Ten Thousand Martial Worlds】 sought to kill, meaning the two of them still stood on the same frontline.

On the other hand, it was because Lu Yang had discerned Seeing Suo Huan's intentions; when True Person Miaoyin was killed, he had merely watched without any intent to intervene, indicating he did not plan to get involved in Lu Yang's affairs, and thus, it was unlikely he would suddenly decide to attack Lu Yang now.

'So, he sold out Miaoyin?'

Thinking of this, Lu Yang's eyebrows instantly lifted slightly; he cast a suspicious glance and then试探atively asked, "Senior, are you a True Person of our Holy Sect?"

"."

The moment Lu Yang spoke these words, Seeing Suo Huan's expression instantly stiffened, feeling as though he had been insulted; what did this mean! Suddenly calling him a True Person of the Holy Sect?

"I am Seeing Suo Huan, a rogue cultivator from the overseas regions, unworthy of being called a True Person of the Holy Sect."

Seeing Suo Huan did not put on the airs of a Great True Person but instead adopted the demeanor of an equal addressing a peer: "Originally, I intended to do Daoist Friend a favor."

"Scoundrel! How dare an Extramarital Heavenly Demon act so arrogantly?"

Just then, Chen Anmin suddenly let out a furious roar, interrupting the conversation between Lu Yang and Seeing Suo Huan while simultaneously glaring at Seeing Suo Huan with undisguised hostility.

Seeing this, Seeing Suo Huan's smile remained unchanged.

As for Lu Yang, his expression remained calm as he said indifferently to Chen Anmin, "Withdraw, reorganize the troops; I will speak a few words with this Extramarital Heavenly Demon."

"But..." Chen Anmin immediately became somewhat anxious.

"Hmm?"

Lu Yang emitted a muffled snort from his nose, staring straight at Chen Anmin; upon seeing this, Chen Anmin instantly retreated a step in panic.

After all, the current army was built single-handedly by Lu Yang, and his prestige was so high that even Chen Anmin subconsciously chose to obey; however, after retreating and then looking up at his own Fate Star, which shone like the rising sun, and recalling his identity as the 【Son of Tomorrow】, a sense of unwillingness surfaced in his eyes.

Witnessing this scene, Lu Yang's expression grew even more profound.

On the other side, Seeing Suo Huan smiled slightly: "How about it? As long as Daoist Friend is willing, I am prepared to assist you in leaving this place, guaranteeing your safety."

"... here is no need."

After a moment of silence, Lu Yang actually shook his head: "I appreciate Senior's kind intentions, but I have my own plans; there is no need to incur this favor."

"Is that so? What a pity."

Hearing this, Seeing Suo Huan showed no surprise; he nodded and then shifted the topic: "In that case, why don't we discuss another transaction?"

Lu Yang felt somewhat curious upon hearing this, only to hear Seeing Suo Huan say calmly, "I wish to learn all the details regarding Daoist Friend Master Chongguang's past quest for gold, as well as his methods."

"Daoist Friend was once Master Chongguang's trusted confidant; everyone who entered the Blessed Land back then had their merit and qi fortune drained dry, and that foolish woman Miaoyin was one of them, making a bad situation worse; only Daoist Friend retained most of your qi fortune, which I presume is no coincidence... I am very curious about the reason."

This was also one of the purposes of Seeing Suo Huan's journey.

For a Great True Person at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, or even one who had reached Great Perfection, the most precious thing was the method for seeking gold, something impossible to obtain without great opportunity and great fortune.

He himself possessed this opportunity only because he had once been the Child of Destiny of a certain Realm Heaven.

'My method for seeking gold is named the 【Scripture of the Myriad Spirits Returning to the Ruins】; it is a Water-attribute technique, condensed for me by the 【Huanxu Realm】 before its fall, together with the Blessed Land.'

However, the 【Huanxu Realm】 had previously only condensed a rudimentary form of a fruit position; although it independently deduced the technique, errors and omissions were inevitable, and ever since Seeing Suo Huan escaped the Realm Heaven, for six hundred years he had been striving to patch these flaws, stitching and mending, until this method for seeking gold finally took shape.

Yet, ultimately, it still lacked one final step.

'A Great True Person with deep roots like Master Chongguang, backed by a True Person, could directly invite a True Person to help perfect their own method for seeking gold.'

'I cannot do that.'

'After all, I do not have a trustworthy True Person; matters like this can only rely on my own deliberations, so I must borrow from Master Chongguang's experience in seeking gold.'

Although doing so would at most only slightly increase his hopes of seeking gold, even if it was just a little, he would strive for it with all his might.

Thinking of this, Seeing Suo Huan looked at Lu Yang once more, bowed solemnly, and said, "I beg Daoist Friend to instruct me; if you have any requests, I will agree to them all. Having cultivated overseas for six hundred years, I possess considerable assets; if Daoist Friend wishes to break through to the Late Stage in the future, I can also offer assistance."

Having spoken, Seeing Suo Huan manifested a halo of light behind his head.

Countless scenes emerged within the light: ruins everywhere, broken walls and shattered tiles, exuding a sense of deathly silence, yet beneath that silence lurked a sliver of vitality.

"This is the 【Spiritual Ruins Blessed Land】."

Seeing Suo Huan said sincerely, "The Blessed Land holds the mystery of avoiding calamity; if Daoist Friend breaks through to the Late Stage within it, the power of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation can be reduced by at least thirty percent."

This was both a transaction and the granting of a favor.

Seeing Suo Huan毫不犹豫地 presented all his bargaining chips without any haggling; firstly, because Master Chongguang's experience in seeking gold was indeed important.

Secondly, it was because he had heard Lu Yang's name mentioned by True Person Zeng Cai Qi Luo, and coupled with the existence of True Person Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue, even though he was merely a lowly True Person, at least two True Persons were watching over him from behind, making him undeniably a favorite of the Holy Sect; intentionally offering some benefits to curry favor would also be advantageous.

'Miaoyin's death was not unjustified; he even dares to provoke such a person!'

'I should be trying to befriend him before it's too late!'

Perhaps after the two True Persons behind Lu Yang learned of this matter, they would also look upon him more favorably? He did not mind trying any opportunity.

Lu Yang naturally perceived Seeing Suo Huan's underlying thoughts.

'What a remarkable rogue cultivator...!'

Lu Yang knew all too well how difficult it was for a rogue cultivator to achieve success in this wretched place; reaching the Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment was already akin to burning high-quality incense and having green smoke rise from one's ancestral grave.

The Late Stage of Foundation Establishment?

And even aspiring to seek gold?

Merely thinking about it made Lu Yang feel that this Great True Person before him was no ordinary individual, so his expression immediately became much more solemn: "Junior currently has no use for a Blessed Land."

"Since Senior is so kind, simply giving a little will suffice."

"."

The moment Lu Yang spoke these words, Seeing Suo Huan's face instantly turned bitter; 'give a little'? This meant he wanted a bit of everything! True Persons of the Holy Sect were truly insatiable!

Despite these thoughts, the smile on Seeing Suo Huan's face grew even brighter; he carefully examined Lu Yang, calculated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "I possess some understanding of the art of artifact refining; if Daoist Friend is interested, I can personally refine a magic treasure tailored specifically for you."

The moment these words fell, Lu Yang's eyebrows instantly lifted.

After all, up until now, he had only used magic treasures belonging to others; although wielding them posed no problems, ultimately, there was a lack of intimacy.

One should not underestimate this layer of intimacy; if a magic treasure could merge with its master's soul and share life and death, it could indirectly enhance the master's divine abilities, and only such a magic treasure possessed the possibility of 'seeking truth,' progressing alongside its master in the future, evolving from a magic treasure into a legendary true treasure.

This point alone was enough to move Lu Yang's heart!

Seeing Suo Huan had indeed put considerable thought into this, knowing that a custom-made magic treasure belonging solely to Lu Yang held extraordinary value for him, which was why he proactively proposed it.

Seeing the look of interest on Lu Yang's face, a smile finally appeared on Seeing Suo Huan's own face; he then took a step back and said, "This matter can wait until I have set up the artifact furnace and made all preparations; I will then invite Daoist Friend to visit, at which time you can wait until the magic treasure emerges from the furnace before engraving Master Chongguang's experience in seeking gold for me."

"... eal!"

Seeing Suo Huan's conditions were so meticulous, considering every aspect, that Lu Yang naturally had no reason to refuse: "Then I shall trouble Senior for your efforts."

"I dare not, I dare not..."

Seeing Suo Huan cupped his hands in salute, and then his figure gradually became illusory, vanishing into mid-air; from beginning to end, he had not displayed the slightest trace of the authority expected of a Great True Person.

'Seeing Suo Huan...'

Lu Yang murmured to himself, still pondering and calculating the background of this Great True Person, when suddenly a suppressed voice of reproach came from beside him:

"Immortal Master, how could you let an Extramarital Heavenly Demon escape!?"

Lu Yang snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look behind him, only to see Chen Anmin staring at him with a face full of anger, while the 【Son of Tomorrow】 above his head shimmered with radiant light.
