Sixth stage
Borrowing the relation between them, Su Yun started to profit from it, getting Huai Rou Mu Yu to consecutively buy a few useful pills for him. Her expression remained calm, but Su Yun could see the gradual loathe in her eyes. Who would ever believe that there would be any lady with such a thick skin to still have good feelings towards someone like Su Yun?
Of course, Su Yun did not dare go overboard, if he got Mu Yu to buy every pill that was being auctioned, it would seem intentional, and produce suspicions on himself.
Su Yun held all the pills and counted all of them, slowly putting them into his storage ring one by one. He planned to consume at the altar when he returned to the Nan Gong Family for better gains.
~I never thought that I could profit so much by doing this mission for Nan Gong Qing.~
Su Yun secretly thought.
“Young Master Qing!”
Just as Su Yun was celebrating in his mind, Huai Rou Mu Yu suddenly called out to him.
“What is it, Mu Yu?” Su Yun asked.
“Did you not bring any cultivation coins with you?”
“I don’t have the habit of bringing money, and furthermore, don’t you have a lot of it?” Su Yun laughed.
“Are you always like that?”
Huai Rou Mu Yu suddenly lowered her eyes and asked.
“Yes!”
Su Yun acted languidly as he replied, but he knew that he had accomplished his goal.
Huai Rou Mu Yu did not talk further, she looked back to the pill furnaces in the center for a moment, then turned her head and spoke to Xiao Hong beside her for a bit, then got up and spoke to Nan Gong Gu and the rest: “Everyone, Mu Yu feels unwell and will not stay further, I hope that everyone will enjoy your time here, Mu Yu will return first, apologies.”
“Huh, Miss Huai Rou, what’s wrong? The General Assembly is not over yet, how can you go!”
“What’s wrong Miss Huai Rou?”
“Could it be that there’s nothing you like here?”
Everybody in the Nan Gong Family could not make heads or tails of her sudden actions and were perspiring.
“I am fine, I just feel somewhat tired and wish to return earlier to rest. Alright everyone, we will return first!”
Huai Rou Mu Yu gently nodded her head and turned to leave.
Her departure attracted the attention of many, all of them watched as she left the field, some even started guessing on her sudden departure.
Without Huai Rou Mu Yu, his financial backer, Su Yun no longer had any reason to stay, so he also stood up to leave. But just then, Huai Rou Mu Yu’s maid, Xiao Hong, blocked his path, and took out a gold card and handed it over: “Young Master Qing, this spatial card is from Young Miss, to be given to you!”
“Spatial card?” Su Yun was startled
~Is it something of even higher grade than the spatial bag?~
“There is 200 thousand cultivation coins in there, Young Miss instructed me to tell you that if Young Master Qing wants to buy anything, you can go ahead to buy it, consider it as her kind intentions, take it, humph!”
With that, Xiao Hong pushed the spatial card into Su Yun’s hands, then stormed off angrily.
Su Yun frowned, he looked at the gold card in his hand, sensing something was amiss.
He turned only to realised that many people were observing him, while Nan Gong Gu was staring him with eyes that could kill. Unknowingly, he had become the evil person.
Su Yun held the gold card tightly, feeling that the event had become dull, he turned and left the North Plaza, heading straight back towards the Nan Gong Residence.
His main aim of participating in the Pill Furnace General Assembly was to make Huai Rou Mu Yu find Nan Gong Qing disgusting, it was obvious that Su Yun succeeded, but Huai Rou Mu Yu’s action of handing 200 thousand cultivation coins made Su Yun feel guilty.
Although Su Yun liked money, but this sort of money gave him a reverse feeling.
“Can I ask if you are Young Master Nan Gong Qing?”
Just as Su Yun was heading back towards the Nan Gong Residence alone, the question suddenly came out from behind, he turned to look, only to see a servant who had no cultivation, wearing a green hat speaking to him.
Su Yun became suspicious: “It’s me, what’s the matter?”
“About that, I hope Young Noble can slow down, My Family’s Young Master wants to see you.”
“Who is your family young master?”
“He says that when you see him, you’ll know.” The servant smiled.
~Trying to keep me in suspense?~
“Not meeting!”
Su Yun directly rejected. He was currently disguising himself as Nan Gong Qing, why would he randomly meet other people?
“I plead Young Master Qing to see my family young master, young master said that if you are not willing to come, then I need to hand this over to you.” The servant then handed a piece of paper over.
Su Yun opened it, only to see two words written on the paper: Su Yun.
Seeing that, Su Yun’s face changed.
“Who is your family young master?”
“My family young master said that he comes with no ill intention towards young Master Qing, but you have to meet him, once you see him, you will understand everything.”
Su Yun lowered his head to think for a moment, before nodding his head: “Lead the way.”
The servant immediately led Su Yun through the big street and arrived at a tavern.
Regardless of where it was, as long as there were people, there would be a tavern, the Ultimate Martial World was no exception. No matter how high a person’s cultivation is at, there was always time for alcohol.
Arriving at a private room on the second floor of the tavern, the servant stopped and smiled towards Su Yun: “Young Master Qing, please!”
Su Yun remained expressionless, he pushed the door open and entered, only to see a young man dressed in light blue robes sitting alone drinking wine.
When Su Yun entered the private room, the man did not stand up, but smiled: “Long time no see, Su Yun.”
“Feng Ling Sheng!”
Su Yun was startled and just stared at the man at the table in shock.
He then remembered that he was wearing a hat, and asked: “How did you recognize me?”
“Although you have covered your face, but I will never forget your figure, even if you’re gray, I will recognize you!” Feng Ling Sheng smiled.
Hearing that, Su Yun smiled genuinely, he was extremely happy.
He had never expected to meet Feng Ling Sheng under such circumstances.
“Su Yun, why are you here at Ultimate Martial World so quickly? Is it to specially visit me?” Feng Ling Sheng asked.
“I am preparing to revive my master, but met upon some hindrances along the way and am lacking materials right now, so I planned to come over to Ultimate Martial World to look for them, coincidentally you’re in the Ultimate Martial World, so I wanted to look for you to help me gather the materials, since it requires cultivation coins, but I am penniless”
Su Yun shrugged.
“Penniless?” Feng Ling Sheng glanced at him and said: “The Great Nang Gong Family’s Nang Gong Qing is penniless? I don’t believe you.”
“What Great Nang Gong Family, this is all just a disguise.” Su Yun laughed bitterly, then told Feng Ling Sheng about Nan Gong Qing’s plan.
After listening to the entire story, Feng Ling Sheng was surprised: “I still thought that you killed Nan Gong Qing and was disguising as him to obtain some benefits.”
“Nan Gong Family is an aristocratic family with so many experts, why would I dare to do that? If I were to be found out, wouldn’t I be damned for eternity?”
“That’s quite a good business, your disguise technique is excellent, but there are even more powerful treasures that can see through your techniques, so you have to be extremely careful and only use it as your last resort, it’ll be even better if you stop doing such things! Oh right, you said something about lacking materials just now? What are you lacking? Let me help you gather them.”
“Thank you so much.” Su Yun laughed, he then informed Feng Ling Sheng of the Dawn Creek Water, Infinity Bow Core Qi, Three Moon Space Time Steel, Illusory Spirit Qi and other materials.
Feng Ling Sheng nodded his head: “Although these are all expensive materials, It will not be difficult to gather them, I will send my people over to you to hand these things to you in time to come.”
Su Yun cupped is fists: “I will owe you this favour.”
“Hey, Didn’t I say not to treat each other as outsiders when we meet?” Feng Ling Sheng laughed and waved his hands, he then asked again: “Oh right, Su Yun, why did you not look for me but find Nan Gong Qing when you came to Ultimate Martial World?”
“That, is a long story.” Su Yun sighed once again, then told him about the incident at the gates of Feng Family.
When he finished the story, Feng Ling Sheng responded by slamming his hand on the table, ‘bang’, his face was filled with rage: “That Feng Mo Qiang! I cannot let this go.”
“Oh? Seems like your Feng family is the same as the Nan Gong Family, the siblings all are unable to get along?”
“Feng Mo Qiang is the son of the Patriarch, and is the future successor for the Feng Family. As the son of the branch family, he has always looked down on me, especially after I met with troubles in the Sky Martial Continent, he became even more despicable. As my cultivation dropped, my position in the Feng Residence dropped greatly, thus I spent my time in closed doors cultivating, hoping to recover the strength of my past. I heard about the Pill Furnace General Assembly, and hoped to buy some pills back that aids in cultivation and coincidentally saw you, so I sent someone over to bring you here.”
“To recover your old cultivation is not an easy matter, I am afraid you will have to work extremely hard.”
“I know that.” Feng Ling Sheng sighed once again: “I only hope that Feng Mo Qiang will know his place, his talent isn’t that high, his cultivation more or less came from absorbing cultivation coins, so you can imagine the amount spent on him, but because of this, he cannot be considered an expert. Cultivation obtained by absorbing cultivation coins will never be as strong as one that is personally cultivated on his own, so being unsatisfied, he started to place his sights on the big financial groups and almighty beings. I have intel that he has already made his move, but I hope he doesn’t offend any of those almighty beings.”
“You just have to do what you have to do.” Su Yun said.
“I wish!”
Feng Ling Sheng clapped his hands, calling for the servant that was standing guard outside. He walked in and stood respectfully in front of Feng Ling Sheng.
“Feng Mo Qiang doesn’t allow you to enter the Feng Family, so it will not be good for us to contact each other, if there is anything you need and want to look for me, inform him, he is my servant called Li Xiang.”
“Li Xiang greets Young Master Su!”
“You don’t have to be so polite, quickly rise!” Su Yun supported the servant up.
Feng Ling Sheng laughed: “It’s not early anymore, I should be heading back now. Su Yun, let us drink together soon.”
“No problem.”
Su Yun smiled.
After leaving the tavern, Su Yun returned to the Nan Gong Family. After meeting Feng Ling Sheng, he was feeling much better and his strides were much faster.
When he returned to the house, Xiao Cui was there walking in circles anxiously with a frightened look on her face. But when she saw Su Yun returning safely, she calmed down.
“Young master, you are finally back, you have scared this servant to death.” Xiao Cui heaved a sigh of relief.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be caught so easily.”
Su Yun consoled her, he took off the hat and headed straight towards the forbidden grounds.
“I am going to train now, if anyone looks for me, tell them that I went out and did not return, understand?”
“Yes young master.”
Xiao Cui replied. Su Yun went back to the sculpture, he activated the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment, rushed into the Sword Qi Storm and stood behind the sculpture. He then sat on the array seal and started cultivating.
He took out the pills purchased from the auction and started consuming them, all of the pills were extremely expensive and if placed in the Sky Martial Continent, they would be priceless treasures.
After consuming the pills, they started dissolving. Su Yun felt the Spirit Qi in his body churning, all of his Spirit Essences started to grow hot, with signs of cracking appearing.
After sensing the strange situation, Su Yun immediately felt an increase in Spirit Qi.
The moment the Spirit Qi churned, ‘plop’, one of the Spirit Essence split.
Following that, more of them started exploding continuously, a splendor of light shot out from Su Yun straight into the sky.
Spirit Star Realm sixth stage!
Su Yun gradually opened his eyes, a gold light flashing across his eyes.
The fighting strength on the proof of qualifications badge on his waist increased to 1090 points.
