Chapter 345: Heaven's Craft Hammer!
“What!”
Hearing the other party mention the Su Family, Lu Qingyang was shocked.
He had just come out of the Su Family. How did the other party know?
Could it be… the matter of the Su Family’s extermination!
“Heh heh, Young Friend, do not panic. Holy Tang is only so large.”
“No whisper of wind or rustle of grass can escape the ears of those great figures.”
Gongyang Yu explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang’s heart tightened.
Holy Tang was indeed very large, but it was also far too small.
“In that case, I shall respectfully comply.”
Lu Qingyang did not refuse.
Because it just so happened that he also had many things he wanted to ask the other party.
But before that, he still had to finish buying what he needed to buy at the auction.
After all, the purpose of his coming here was not that ancient Immortal Emperor’s corpse, nor that Great Luo Pearl. He merely wanted to see if there was anything suitable for improving his cultivation.
And while the two were conversing, that ancient Immortal Emperor’s corpse had already been bid up to two billion Immortal Crystals!
In the end.
It was bought by a white-robed man who looked exceedingly dignified and immortal!
Lu Qingyang did not recognize that person.
But he could sense the other party was no simple figure.
“Senior, does your pavilion have any other auctions?”
“I wish to buy a few items to increase my cultivation.”
“Of course there are. Young Friend, do not rush. I will have someone find them for you shortly.”
“Come with me.”
Gongyang Yu smiled faintly.
Then he led Lu Qingyang toward the back of the auction hall…
On the other side.
“Mubai, just who is this little fellow?”
“You even brought out the Great Luo Life Pearl to sell.”
The white-robed man shook his head lightly.
He was precisely the young man who had bought the ancient Immortal Emperor’s corpse.
“Eldest Brother, I do not know who he is either. But the secrets on his body are numerous, and moreover…”
At this point, she hesitated slightly.
“He is currently at the Nine-Turn Golden Immortal cultivation, yet he possesses the bearing of attaining Emperorship through the physical body!”
“Attaining Emperorship through the physical body — even if only a Quasi-Emperor, in the future he is very likely to become a top-tier great clan of Holy Tang.”
Li Mubai said slowly.
“The Pavilion Master told you?”
“Of course. The moment this person entered the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, the Pavilion Master instantly detected him!”
…
On the other side, Lu Qingyang and Gongyang Yu arrived at a courtyard in the back mountain.
“Young Friend, please sit.”
Gongyang Yu said with a smile, then instructed the servants to bring some refreshments.
And so the two sat down and began to talk.
“Young Friend, this old one observes that you possess numerous techniques. Might I ask where your master’s lineage lies?”
Gongyang Yu smiled slowly.
“Senior jests. This humble one is merely a rogue cultivator.”
Lu Qingyang smiled lightly.
Seeing this, Gongyang Yu did not continue the topic.
“Since Young Friend has come here, what sort of cultivation-increasing items are you looking for?”
“I will have someone bring them. There was no need to go through the auction.”
“Just items for Earthly Immortals advancing to Heavenly Immortal, or even Golden Immortal treasures.”
Lu Qingyang thought briefly, then responded.
“Easy enough. I will have someone bring them now.”
“But, Young Friend, might you tell this old one your name?”
“Lu Qingyang.”
…
Shortly after.
Gongyang Yu’s servant brought three items up.
Two of them were pills, while the other was a piece of azure jade.
“Young Friend, these three are all excellent supreme treasures for raising cultivation.”
Gongyang Yu said with a smile.
With a single phrase he laid it bare: all three were items for raising the cultivation of Earthly Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.
“These two pills were both refined from ten-thousand-year spirit medicines. They can help a Nine-Turn Earthly Immortal directly advance to Heavenly Immortal!”
“At the same time, they can help a Heavenly Immortal rapidly step into the Nine-Turn stage.”
He recounted slowly.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang nodded.
These two pills were indeed excellent.
For him in his current state, they were practically a perfect match!
It was just that he did not know the price.
If he could buy them all, that would be wonderful.
So he turned his gaze to the third item.
“This jade was likewise refined from ten-thousand-year spirit herbs. It is named — the Azure Spirit Jade!”
“This jade has the effect of enhancing spiritual qi. If used in battle, its effects are especially prominent!”
“Placed by one’s side in daily life, it can also aid cultivation.”
“When one reaches the Nine-Turn Heavenly Immortal stage, it can even be used in an attempt to refine and break through to Golden Immortal.”
“It can be considered a rare supreme treasure.”
Gongyang Yu continued his introduction.
“I want all three.”
Lu Qingyang spoke.
“However, the price of these items should be more than a billion, no?”
Hearing this, Gongyang Yu smiled. “Auction aside, the market price is at least one and a half billion!”
“That expensive?”
Lu Qingyang was astonished. He did not seem to have that many Immortal Crystals now.
Even the entire Su Family did not have that much wealth.
And just as Lu Qingyang was considering which to buy.
Gongyang Yu’s next words caused him to freeze.
“However, I do not want Young Friend’s Immortal Crystals. I can give them all to you.”
“Ah?” Lu Qingyang was stunned.
“Young Friend is fated with my Heavenly Craft Pavilion.”
“For this old one to gift them to you is only natural.”
“Of course, I only need Young Friend to help me resolve one matter.”
Gongyang Yu smiled faintly.
But…
Lu Qingyang could not shake the feeling that something was off!
Yet Gongyang Yu had already said this much. Naturally, he could not decline.
He merely felt that this Heavenly Craft Pavilion Master was being far too eager toward him.
And what matter could possibly be worth one and a half billion Immortal Crystals!
“Might I ask, Young Friend, do you wish to first raise your cultivation, or first learn of that matter?”
After the two were silent for a long while, Gongyang Yu finally spoke.
“This humble one has one matter I do not understand…”
“Please, Senior, enlighten this humble one.”
Lu Qingyang nodded, then asked.
“Young Friend, please speak.”
“This humble one wishes to know…”
“I exterminated the Su Family. Holy Tang had no reaction?”
“The laws of Holy Tang do not care?”
Lu Qingyang asked slowly.
But hearing this, Gongyang Yu instead laughed aloud.
“Care?”
“Why should the laws of Holy Tang care!”
“What do you mean?”
Lu Qingyang frowned.
“Heh heh, in Holy Tang, clans are supreme.”
“If the Su Family was exterminated, then let them be exterminated.”
“Not a single faction would offend another powerhouse for the sake of one clan.”
“Let alone a small clan like the Su Family, which did not even have a single Taiyi-level talent.”
“How could the laws of Holy Tang play the fool for their sake?”
Gongyang Yu laughed slowly. At the end, he shook his head. “Laughable.”
Now Lu Qingyang finally understood.
This was a bare, naked world of the strong preying on the weak!
“Thank you, Senior, for the explanation.”
“Then may I ask, Senior, what is the matter you wish this humble one to do?”
“My Heavenly Craft Pavilion is an ancient power, inheriting for millions of years without decline.”
“Now my Heavenly Craft Pavilion also wishes to restore the glory of ancient times!”
“And to accomplish this, one treasure is needed. It is named — the Heavenly Craft Hammer!”
At this point, Gongyang Yu’s eyes brightened slightly.
“Does Young Friend know of this Heavenly Craft Hammer?”
Lu Qingyang shook his head. “I do not.”
“No matter. The issue now is that even though I know where the Heavenly Craft Hammer is, I cannot obtain it.”
“Because only one with a powerful physical body can retrieve it. Hence I wish to ask Young Friend for help.”
“The Heavenly Craft Hammer?”
“Even a Great Luo cannot retrieve it?”
Lu Qingyang’s heart lurched. He felt something was not quite right…
