Chapter 550: Esteemed Guest at the City Lord's Mansion

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching.

He turned his head and saw Heavenly Wind City's City Lord Tian Yunfeng and his sister Tian Yundi walking into the shop.

Tian Yunfeng was a handsome and intelligent middle-aged man, appearing not like an ordinary cultivator.

Tian Yundi, on the other hand, was a youthful, lively, innocent and carefree young woman.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, already understanding their purpose for coming to the shop.

Their gazes were firm and urgent; clearly they had come to buy immortal pills and magic talismans.

Tian Yunfeng stepped before Lu Yuan, solemnly saying, "Mr. Lu, I know you have Heaven-Earth Pills and Strange Fire Talismans in your hand; I wish to purchase some."

Tian Yundi also added, "Yes!"

"We are carrying out a dangerous mission; these immortal pills and magic talismans are very important to us."

Lu Yuan smiled, seeing from their eyes the anxiety in their hearts.

He understood that Tian Yunfeng and Tian Yundi were not ordinary cultivators, but people with special missions and backgrounds.

"Since you are so eager, there is no problem."

Lu Yuan said, "Heaven-Earth Pills cost one hundred taels of silver each, and Strange Fire Talismans cost fifteen taels of silver each."

"I would rather provide these good things to those who appreciate and need them."

Upon hearing the price, Tian Yunfeng calmed down and immediately produced the sufficient amount.

At the same time, other cultivators in the shop were busy purchasing medicinal herbs and cultivation manuals at the trading counter.

"'Lei Huo Dan Ge' lives up to its name, with business booming like fire."

Lu Yuan took their silver, then handed over the Heaven-Earth Pills and Strange Fire Talismans to them.

This scene let Tian Yunfeng and Tian Yundi sigh in relief; they eagerly received the precious immortal pills and magic talismans.

Tian Yunfeng handed Lu Yuan a business card, earnestly saying, "Mr. Lu, meeting you here is our good fortune."

"If we need help in the future, I hope to receive your assistance again."

Lu Yuan received the card, smiling and saying, "Mr. Tian, you flatter me."

"As long as you need it, I will do my best to provide help."

Tian Yundi also added, "Mr. Lu, if you have any need, you can find us at any time."

After bidding farewell, the two left the shop.

Lu Yuan watched their retreating backs, a sense of curiosity welling up in his heart; True Lord Po Tian's every step appeared extraordinarily light, he effortlessly passed through the high gate of Lei Huo Dan Ge and came directly to Lu Yuan's side.

"Mr. Lu, I have always admired you greatly; I do not know why you were attacked."

True Lord Po Tian smiled and asked.

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the retreating backs of Tian Yunfeng and Tian Yundi, slightly startled.

I did not expect True Lord Po Tian to appear here suddenly; he put the business card back into his pocket, thought for a moment, then replied, "This time it is for training."

True Lord Po Tian narrowed his eyes, observing Lu Yuan's expression.

"Training."

He stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, then said, "Your strength and courage impress me greatly, and I am even more interested in you."

Lu Yuan smiled, feeling somewhat surprised by True Lord Po Tian's sudden show of favor.

From True Lord Po Tian's gaze he saw a feeling of admiration and anticipation.

"Thank you for the praise," Lu Yuan replied gently.

True Lord Po Tian smiled and said again, "Then, can we achieve a friendly cooperative relationship?"

"I am very willing to face future challenges together with you."

Lu Yuan nodded lightly, realizing that this True Lord Po Tian before him was not an ordinary person.

There seemed to be a special connection between them, perhaps because Lu Yuan's ability to refine pills and talismans had attracted True Lord Po Tian's interest; Lu Yuan frowned slightly, feeling puzzled by True Lord Po Tian's sudden intense interest.

Lu Yuan knew that although the Xiuzhen Jie was full of dangers, everyone had their own stance and goals, yet True Lord Po Tian's display of such friendliness left him astonished.

Seeing Lu Yuan's doubt, True Lord Po Tian smiled and explained, "Mr. Lu, please do not misunderstand."

"My interest in you is not because you excel at refining pills and talismans."

"Actually, in the turmoil of the Xiuzhen Jie, we need to befriend more like-minded friends."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, beginning to understand what True Lord Po Tian said.

"Like that."

He secretly speculated that there might be other connections between them.

"If we can join hands to cooperate, jointly facing the threats of evil cults and malevolent forces, that would be a very meaningful journey."

True Lord Po Tian revealed a sincere smile.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, saying, "I am willing to befriend you and contribute my share to the Xiuzhen Jie."

After they gazed at each other for a while, True Lord Po Tian extended his hand to shake Lu Yuan's hand.

"May our friendship last as long as the morning sun," True Lord Po Tian said.

Lu Yuan smiled, firmly shaking hands with True Lord Po Tian.

"May we work together for the peace and stability of the Xiuzhen Jie."

When their handshake ended, a tacit understanding was established between them.

They understood that in the Xiuzhen Jie, friendship is precious and rare.

Therefore, they decided that no matter what difficulties or crises they encountered, they would protect and support each other. Lu Yuan stood at the entrance of Lei Huo Dan Ge, watching the bustling crowd, his heart inevitably feeling satisfied.

Since the day he refined that rare treasure, his Lei Huo Dan Ge has gained great fame, attracting numerous cultivators to come buy pills and talismans.

Lu Yuan gradually realized that this was not merely commercial success, but also attracted attention from powerful figures in the Xiuzhen Jie.

Today, the Sect Leader of the Youhun Sect, Hong Lietian, and the Sect Leader of the Black Flame Sect, True Lord Po Tian, having heard the news, came to patronize; this further proves his shop's standing in the Xiuzhen Jie.

Hong Lietian wore a black long robe, his gaze profound.

He squeezed into the crowd, displaying a fearless, arrogant, and overbearing demeanor.

At the same time, True Lord Po Tian hovered in midair.

He wore a vermilion Daoist robe, his bearing solemn yet refined and elegant.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, stepped forward, and clasped his hands: "Sect Leaders, your presence honors my humble shop."

Hong Lietian glanced at the rare resources and strange fire talismans displayed inside Lei Huo Dan Ge, then snorted coldly: "Mr. Lu, your pills and talismans are famed abroad; I, Hong Lietian, have come specially to investigate."

True Lord Po Tian also smiled and nodded: "Mr. Lu, the rumors are true; your shop indeed lives up to its name."

Lu Yuan gave them a warm glance: "Sect Leaders, if you need anything, feel free to take it at any time."

"However, this time I have a particularly precious item in my store that will go on sale tomorrow; perhaps the Sect Leaders will be interested."

Hong Lietian had already fixed his evil gaze on the Extreme Pole Eternal Cold Frost Soul Fruit Tree placed inside Lei Huo Dan Ge. (End of chapter)
