Chapter 710: with translation of chapter title

710. Chapter 708 I discovered a precious magical artifact.

Zi Xi'er thought to herself, nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, let's act as soon as possible."

She looked at Lu Yuan's firm and confident gaze, feeling a sense of inner tranquility.

They did not linger any longer, immediately starting to pack their luggage in preparation to leave.

Heavenly Wind City's market was extremely bustling, with various cultivators and practitioners buying and selling all kinds of treasures and magical artifacts.

Lu Yuan entered the market, feeling the commercial prosperity brought by the harmonious coexistence of demonic cultivators and orthodox cultivators, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

He kept smiling and continued on his way.

His identity token allowed him to pass the guard's inspection easily, and then he was led into the interior of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

The VIP room was quiet and warm; as soon as Lu Yuan entered, he saw Su Liyan waiting there.

She wore an ice-blue long dress, her whole person emanating a chilling aura.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, she smiled and walked over, her eyes flashing with joy and anticipation.

"You're back."

Su Liyan said softly, "You've worked hard."

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, "It's nothing; these are things we should do."

He took out a small bag of rare spiritual rice from his storage bag and handed it to Su Liyan: "This is for you, thank you for your continued support."

Su Liyan took the spiritual rice, her gaze gentle as she looked at Lu Yuan: "You are not only my partner, but also the person closest to me."

She revealed a radiant smile.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan came to the VIP room of Lei Huo Dan Ge, where they began discussing matters regarding the handling of magical artifacts.

Su Liyan proposed using Lei Huo Dan materials for the exchange, and expressed her willingness to handle it on their behalf to ensure safety.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan felt deeply moved, he sincerely thanked Su Liyan and accepted her suggestion.

"Thank you, Su Liyan."

Lu Yuan said sincerely, "You have always been my partner; I am grateful for your help."

Su Liyan smiled and nodded, "We are one; helping each other is only natural."

After they had settled on the specific exchange plan, they decided to go to Su Liyan's elegant residence.

Along the way, Lu Yuan told her about the challenges and gains he experienced in the secret realm expedition.

"In that secret realm, I discovered a precious magical artifact."

Lu Yuan said excitedly, "It can enhance the power of my immortal arts."

Su Liyan, upon hearing it, asked interestedly, "Then what other gains did this expedition yield?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then continued, "I also found a Dao-yun bed, which possesses a special function."

"Dao-yun bed?"

Su Liyan asked curiously, "What is special about it?"

Lu Yuan smiled and explained, "Resting on that bed allows one to feel the flow of the laws between heaven and earth, helping cultivators better comprehend the laws."

Su Liyan listened intently, and a feeling of longing arose in her heart.

"What an amazing treasure!"

While chatting, they arrived at Su Liyan's residence.

While waiting for the exchange to be completed, the two sat down to chat about the Tiannan Jade Talisman.

"The three major sects are urgently searching for cultivators attempting to steal the Dao-yun bed."

Su Liyan said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan felt deeply uneasy, "Then we must also act cautiously."

Su Liyan nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we must protect the treasures we have obtained."

Under the night sky, the study's light was dim yellow; Lu Yuan sat at the desk, while Su Liyan leaned against the side of the bookshelf.

The two, somewhat fatigued, continued discussing the current dynamics of Heavenly Wind City's market and the subtle changes among the major sects.

After a moment's thought, Su Liyan proposed that Lu Yuan temporarily keep a low profile during this period and proactively take responsibility for handling the magical artifact matters to ensure safety.

She knew that as the person in charge of Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan bore greater responsibility.

After careful consideration, although he felt some reluctance, Lu Yuan ultimately agreed to Su Liyan's proposal.

He looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you, Su Liyan."

"You have always been my partner; I am grateful for your help."

Su Liyan smiled and nodded, "We are one; helping each other is only natural."

Her trust in Lu Yuan only grew stronger.

The late-night conversation deepened their mutual trust and tacit understanding.

They both understood that in future events, only by working together could they stabilize the situation.

As the moonlight deepened, the two decided to each return to rest.

Lu Yuan, filled with gratitude, hurried back to Lei Huo Dan Ge located in the core area of Heavenly Wind City.

He lay on the soft bed, quietly contemplating his next plan of action.

The next day, at dawn, Lu Yuan rose early; after discussing again with Su Liyan, they decided to entrust the important secret items to her for safekeeping, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Lu Yuan again expressed his gratitude for what Su Liyan had done, and affirmed his deep trust and reliance on her.

Su Liyan calmly accepted this trust, and told Lu Yuan that bearing this responsibility was an honor.

That morning, in the crowded hall of Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan couldn't help but recall the rumors he had heard about the Spirit Treasure Pill.

It was said that this pill not only possesses powerful efficacy, able to raise cultivation in a short time, but also brings almost no side effects.

"Looks like this Spirit Treasure Pill has caused quite a stir."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

Su Liyan interjected from the side: "This Spirit Treasure Pill is truly extraordinary; even I, a cultivator, felt a hint of interest."

"However, the impact brought by the recent emergence of these Spirit Treasure Pills is genuinely worrisome."

Lu Yuan nodded, realizing this might be related to the Three Great Sects.

Their interest in this pill is not mere simple curiosity; they have taken note of the secret hidden behind it.

"Su Liyan, we should investigate and see where these Spirit Treasure Pills come from."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow slightly.

Su Liyan replied solemnly: "You're right."

"I also think we need to uncover any possible conspiracy behind it."

The two exchanged a tacit glance, then decided to join forces to launch an operation.

First, they scattered to various corners of Lei Huo Dan Ge to gather information.

Lu Yuan, through the use of his Detection Technique, sought information among customers about suppliers of the Spirit Treasure Pill, and observed the magical implements, talismans, etc. that had seen the biggest price hikes in the market.

Meanwhile, Su Liyan, with a gentle and friendly demeanor, went door-to-door among the merchants and cultivators near Lei Huo Dan Ge, guiding them to reveal where the Spirit Treasure Pill might be produced.

As the investigation deepened, Lu Yuan discovered that all the clues pointed to a valley not far from Heavenly Wind City.

One day, when Lu Yuan and Su Liyan reunited at Lei Huo Dan Ge, they summarized the information they had gathered. (End of chapter)
