Chapter 551: Very happy to be able to establish friendship with you, True Lord Po Tian

True Lord Po Tian gazed carefully at that tree, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

"Mr. Lu, may I ask what use the fruit on this tree has?"

Lu Yuan smiled and replied: "This Demonic Extreme Eternal Cold Frost Soul Fruit is a strange fruit that can enhance spiritual power and cold attribute."

"It is very useful for cultivators who practice ice-system immortal arts or excel at using cold power."

Hearing this, Hong Lietian slightly regained his composure.

He nodded at Lu Yuan, saying: "It seems this fruit tree is indeed a fine gift."

True Lord Po Tian then smiled and said to Lu Yuan: "Mr. Lu, I am interested in learning more information about this fruit tree."

"Please be sure to inform me before it goes on sale tomorrow."

Lu Yuan solemnly nodded and promised True Lord Po Tian.

Although successfully operating Lei Huo Dan Ge gave Lu Yuan satisfaction, he also remained wary of the rising forces around him.

As a cultivator, he had long been clear about power struggles and schemes in his mind. Lu Yuan watched the bustling crowd; Lei Huo Dan Ge was about to close temporarily today, so he decided to use this time to tidy the shop and improve his alchemy skills.

For now, everything looks very harmonious.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared before Lu Yuan—none other than the Sect Leader of the Black Flame Sect, True Lord Po Tian.

He entered Lei Huo Dan Ge with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, we meet again."

"It looks like you're preparing to close the shop."

True Lord Po Tian's gaze swept over the shelves displaying precious resources.

"Yes, I plan to tidy up and improve my alchemy skills over the next few days."

"This way I can provide higher-quality pills and talismans for the cultivation world."

Lu Yuan smiled and replied.

True Lord Po Tian nodded: "Not bad; we cultivators must constantly increase our strength to meet various challenges."

"I also hope to establish a friendly relationship with you."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel satisfied.

After all, as a member of the Dual Extension Clan, it is only natural for one's power to expand in the cultivation world.

"I'm very happy to be able to establish friendship with you, True Lord Po Tian."

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "If you need anything, I am willing to offer some help."

True Lord Po Tian smiled and nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "To be frank, I highly recognize your abilities."

"Especially your alchemy and talisman-drawing skills, which are quite rare and precious in the cultivation world."

At this moment, Lu Yuan also secretly became wary.

He knew this friendliness was not without purpose.

"Thank you for the praise, True Lord Po Tian."

"I will continue to strive to improve myself."

Lu Yuan revealed a hint of wariness in his tone.

True Lord Po Tian seemed to see through Lu Yuan's thoughts: "I understand your worries."

"As cultivators, we need to stay vigilant."

"However, please rest assured; I came to Lei Huo Dan Ge with Sect Leader Hong Lietian not out of hostility."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan relaxed a little.

"I trust you."

He said: "Since we can help and support each other, this also counts as a kind of fate in the cultivation world."

The two began an in-depth exchange, with Lu Yuan detailing his alchemy techniques and talisman-drawing abilities to True Lord Po Tian.

He also mentioned his companion Su Liyan and his experiences with the Supreme Dao Ancestor's group. Lu Yuan had long been troubled by a question: the history of the Dual Extension Clan and their status in the cultivation world.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to communicate with the Supreme Dao Ancestor, he decided to ask him these questions.

Lu Yuan together with the Supreme Dao Ancestor came to the Supreme Dao Ancestor's courtyard.

The courtyard was spacious and serene, with shady green trees, blooming flowers, and birds singing in unison.

After they sat down, Lu Yuan respectfully paid his respects to the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

"Supreme Dao Ancestor, I have a question about the Dual Extension Clan; I wonder if you could give me guidance." Lu Yuan asked.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor nodded solemnly: "You may ask."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and began: "Members of the Dual Extension Clan have been developing their power in the cultivation world, yet the history and legends of the Dual Extension Clan are very vague."

"I hope to obtain more information and understand that forming a grudge with them could bring me trouble."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor slightly nodded: "The Dual Extension Clan is not an ordinary immortal cultivator race."

"According to legend, after a great disaster ten thousand years ago, heaven and earth perceived intentions and produced a miraculous spirit bead—the Extension Spirit Bead."

"This spirit bead contains immeasurable powerful force and can create a unique immortal cultivator race."

Lu Yuan listened with great interest: "Supreme Dao Ancestor, may I ask why the Dual Extension Clan holds a special status in the cultivation world?"

"What special abilities and talents do they possess?"

The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled and explained: "The Dual Extension Clan innately possesses chaotic power, a unique elemental force."

"Within their bodies, the five elements' power and chaotic power fuse together, enabling them to master and apply profound immortal arts."

"Therefore, in areas such as alchemy and talisman drawing, members of the Dual Extension Clan are more skilled."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded slightly, his heart filled with pride in his Dual Extension Clan identity.

At the same time, the Supreme Dao Ancestor continued: "Because they possess chaotic power, members of the Dual Extension Clan also have a certain grasp of chaotic principles."

"This enables them to alter the surrounding environment and construct extreme-cold ice realms, among other abilities."

"If Su Liyan possesses ice-system immortal arts, his cold jade ice shard provides her with tremendous power."

"Hearing this, Lu Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the Shuangyan tribe's great abilities."

"At the same time, he realized that his grudges with other sects could harm innocents and bring trouble upon himself."

"After some thought, Lu Yuan looked at the Supreme Dao Ancestor and said solemnly, 'Supreme Dao Ancestor, rest assured, I have accepted True Lord Po Tian's friendship.'"

"'I will use him as a bridge to maintain good relations with other sects and forces.'"

"'We Shuangyan people must coexist harmoniously with the Xiuzhen Jie.'"

"The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled and nodded, 'Very good.'"

"'You have wise judgment and firm conviction; I am proud of you.'"

"'Only by facing others with a heart of peace and friendship can we maintain the stability of the Xiuzhen Jie.'"

"Lu Yuan felt the approving look in the Supreme Dao Ancestor's eyes, feeling greatly relieved. Lu Yuan stood at the entrance of the Lingbao Fang, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators who had come to snatch up purchases."

"The crowd was bustling, with various lights flashing."

"He silently observed each person's expression and actions, feeling satisfied with the Lingbao Fang's debut."

"Suddenly, Tian Yunfeng pushed his way out of the crowd, his face showing displeasure."

"Upon seeing Lu Yuan, he was momentarily stunned, then immediately rushed toward him."

"'You have betrayed trust and abandoned righteousness!'"

"'You clearly had the advantage yet deliberately delayed!'"

"Tian Yunfeng pointed at Lu Yuan and loudly accused him. (End of chapter)"
