709. Chapter 707 New Weapon

If I can find a suitable high-grade magical artifact, I believe my cultivation will advance to the next level.

The two were discussing the specifics of a discounted exchange, when Lu Yuan suddenly recalled his gains from the secret realm; he smiled and told Su Liyan, 'Actually, during my expedition, I also came across some precious magical artifacts and Dao Rhythm Beds.'

Su Liyan's eyes lit up. 'Really? Then why didn't you tell me earlier?'

'At that time things were urgent, and I didn't have the chance to tell you in detail.'

Lu Yuan paused, then began sharing his experiences in the secret realm.

He first described an underground cave full of challenges and dangers.

The cave contained many mechanisms and strange creatures, but also hid precious cultivation resources.

Lu Yuan, in an engaging tone, explained how he used the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to successfully evade the mechanisms and defeat the vicious creatures.

Next, Lu Yuan mentioned a mysterious cave that hid energy.

Deep in the cave, he found a magical artifact called the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

This sword contains powerful thunder and fire energy, and in Lu Yuan's hands it is incredibly agile.

Lu Yuan also shared that he discovered a blessed land containing Dao Rhythm Beds.

This blessed land is shrouded in light mist, its interior gathering rich magical power, enough to greatly benefit cultivators.

He described in detail how he entered the blessed land, used the Detection Technique to locate the Dao Rhythm Beds, and brought them back to the real world.

Su Liyan listened entranced; she was full of pursuit and love for the path of cultivation.

Lu Yuan's expedition experiences and gains gave her endless anticipation and expectation.

You're truly amazing.

Su Liyan said excitedly, 'Having a companion like you by my side makes me feel I will also become stronger.'

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, 'We are two sides of the same whole, assisting each other.'

'Only by working together can we better face the challenges ahead.'

As they continued discussing the exchange plan, Su Liyan suddenly looked tense and said, 'Lu Yuan, I must tell you something.'

'What is it?' Lu Yuan immediately focused on her expression.

'Recently, the cultivation world has seen a group of cultivators appear who try to steal the Dao Rhythm Beds.'

Su Liyan continued explaining, 'These cultivators likely seek the energy of the Dao Rhythm Beds; they are not insignificant, being people sent by the three great sects.'

'Currently, the three great sects are urgently searching for them.'

'Who exactly wants to seize the Dao Rhythm Beds?'

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, 'Could it be for pursuing a higher level of cultivation?'

After a moment's thought, Su Liyan replied, 'I'm not sure, but these people are likely very interested in the secrets hidden behind the Dao Rhythm Beds.'

Lu Yuan pondered silently; although he lacked detailed clues and information, anything that could draw such attention from the three great sects must be no trivial matter.

Su Liyan then reminded Lu Yuan, 'Do you still remember that fifth-grade jade talisman?'

'I can now tell you its specific function.'

She took out an exquisite jade talisman and handed it to Lu Yuan, 'This fifth-grade jade talisman can be used to transmit messages and communicate.'

'As long as it is activated and one's magical power or divine sense is infused, it can send information to a specific person.'

Lu Yuan received the fifth-grade jade talisman and examined it carefully.

'I see; this way we can stay in touch with other cultivators more conveniently.'

Su Liyan nodded with a smile, 'Exactly, and this fifth-grade jade talisman is only open to specific cultivators.'

'We can use it between us to transmit information.'

Night gradually fell, and a faint fragrance filled Su Liyan's study.

The two continued sitting at the desk, their faces showing focus and excitement.

'So now we can use this fifth-grade jade talisman to stay in touch with each other.'

Su Liyan said with a smile.

Lu Yuan nodded, took out a bamboo slip, and placed it on the table.

'I have a list of cultivators from Heavenly Wind City here; we can split the list into two parts and each take responsibility for transmitting information.'

Su Liyan received the bamboo slip and glanced over the list.

'Alright, this division of labor is reasonable and safe.'

She revealed a proud smile.

'By the way, regarding those cultivators who try to seize the Dao Rhythm Beds, we need to stay vigilant at all times.'

Lu Yuan reminded, 'They could appear at any moment.'

Su Liyan nodded, 'Exactly.'

'To ensure my safety and that of the Dao Rhythm Beds, I suggest you temporarily leave Heavenly Wind City to avoid their pursuit.'

After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan agreed to her suggestion: 'Alright, since you say so, I will first leave Heavenly Wind City for a while.'

'It also counts as for everyone's safety.'

Su Liyan lightly patted his shoulder.

'Thank you for understanding.'

Her gaze firm, she said, 'I will do my utmost to protect the Dao Rhythm Beds.'

'I have full confidence in your abilities, Su Liyan.'

Lu Yuan encouraged, 'Together we can fight and definitely face any difficulty.'

The two clasped hands in tacit understanding, exchanging firm gazes.

Just then, a cold wind blew through the study, making the red maple leaves outside the window rustle.

"The weather has gotten a bit gloomy and cold." Su Liyan furrowed her brows.

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze, staring at the lamp light in the study.

"We need to be extra careful these days, don't let the outside cold seep in."

"It's best to quickly repair the drafty spots in the windows."

Su Liyan nodded in agreement, and the two immediately sprang into action.

Lu Yuan walked out of Su Liyan's study, lifted his head, and gazed at the bright moon in the night sky.

"What a cold night."

He muttered to himself.

He quickly ran back to Lei Huo Dan Ge, and after opening the door, he was somewhat surprised to find Zi Xi'er crouching at the entrance waiting for him.

"What's wrong? How come you only came back this late?"

Zi Xi'er asked, looking somewhat anxious.

Lu Yuan sensed her worry, smiled reassuringly, and said: "Don't worry, Su Liyan has already drawn up a plan of action."

He walked over to Zi Xi'er, gently patted her shoulder, and said: "As long as we stay vigilant, everything will be alright."

Zi Xi'er let out a breath, smiled faintly, and said: "You two are really not ordinary."

Lu Yuan shook his head, speaking humbly: "Su Liyan is the core figure of this plan."

Zi Xi'er said, slightly dissatisfied: "You're being too modest."

"You are the person I trust the most."

Lu Yuan looked at her gratefully: "You and Su Liyan are my closest companions; my trust in you goes without saying."

Zi Xi'er smiled shyly, then asked: "So what should we do next?"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes in thought: "According to the plan, we need to leave Heavenly Wind City as soon as possible."

Zi Xi'er asked, somewhat surprised: "Why?"

Lu Yuan explained: "Heavenly Wind City is no longer a safe place for us now; the cultivators trying to seize the Dao-pattern Bed will keep pursuing us." (End of chapter)
