Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 140: Chapter 64 Insane Sunn Lanyu 1

“A portion of the Qi of heaven and earth?”

Shen Yuan felt a surge of surprise.

It should be known that the Qi of heaven and earth isn’t an ordinary spirit object or magical treasure, with each type being born in a different environment, and the methods of mining, storage, and refinement all containing various tricks.

What Shen Yuan had obtained, the “Elemental Qi Fusion Method of Heaven and Earth”, was merely an introductory guide about the most fundamental aspects of the Qi of heaven and earth, with most of the content being rather basic information.

The genuinely crucial information was all part of the inherited secrets of different sects and would not be readily disclosed.

Furthermore, each portion of the Qi of heaven and earth holds precious value.

Even the lowest-ranking Morning Glow Purple Qi requires a cultivator practicing the “Purple Clouds Elemental Qi Refinement Method” to cultivate continuously for decades to fully refine a portion.

Moreover, once the Morning Glow Purple Qi is refined, it merges into the cultivator’s mana and is hard to trade, which attests to its preciousness.

Given that Mount Laojun is advertising on such a grand scale, it certainly won’t be dealing with something as low-ranked as Morning Glow Purple Qi.

With that thought, Shen Yuan immediately got interested.

In the past, although Shen Yuan had integrated strands of Morning Glow Purple Qi into the Darkness-Light Sword, the quantity was too sparse to meet the criteria for the union of the sword and Elemental Qi, so the effects it could bring about were seriously limited.

However, a few days ago, when facing Kuang Tianjie, Shen Yuan temporarily achieved the union of the sword and Elemental Qi using a strand of Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames as a substitute, which let him perceive the potent power of the genuine union of the sword and Elemental Qi.

Regrettably, that strand of Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames was too sparse and could only be counted as a consumable, which was quite a shame for Shen Yuan.

Now, Mount Laojun was exhibiting the Qi of heaven and earth at the Yunfu Trade Fair, undoubtedly giving Shen Yuan a delightful surprise.

If he could acquire this portion of the Qi of heaven and earth, he could genuinely achieve the union of the sword and Elemental Qi. After that, he only needs to wait until his makeshift Primordial Spirit recovers to further enhance the Earth Fiend Sword Art.

At this thought, Shen Yuan asked Xue Mingzhi:

“Do you know what type of the Qi of heaven and earth Mount Laojun is offering?”

Shen Yuan’s interest excited Xue Mingzhi, who eagerly explained:

“Mount Laojun hasn’t disclosed the specific details of the Qi of heaven and earth, but the trade fair will start today. If Teacher Shen is interested, why don’t we go there together?”

Shen Yuan smiled, “Sure!”

Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng, who had been observing on the side, couldn’t help frowning slightly, secretly communicating through Divine Sense.

“Xue Mingzhi is inviting someone else; this doesn’t seem to be within our plan, does it?”

“If he’s highly regarded by Xue Mingzhi, this person might also have some tricks up his sleeve. Let’s just wait and see.”

The two didn’t notice that at the same time they were communicating, Shen Yuan’s eyes discreetly swept over them.

Although Shen Yuan’s makeshift primordial spirit had suffered a severe blow, he still retained his Primordial Spirit Realm. Their conversation through Divine Sense was as overt as loud speak in front of Shen Yuan.

However, after briefly noting this, Shen Yuan no longer paid attention to it.

Right now, the sun outside was slightly tilted towards the west, the trade fair was about to start, and Xue Mingzhi and the other two had come downstairs to head to the fair.

Since he had decided to go with them, Shen Yuan left Moon Viewing Inn with the three of them.

At this time, the streets in Yunfu City were bustling, presenting a stark contrast to the scene when Shen Yuan arrived.

The shops on both sides of the street were already open, packed with cultivators. However, most cultivators didn’t have enough money to buy those scriptures or spirit objects, so they were merely wandering around symbolically in the shops.

Small stalls were also set up on the roadside, where Formation Mages skilled in Array Arts were personally explaining introductory formations. An hour’s lecture only cost a fragment of a spirit stone, which was equivalent to a tenth of a spirit stone.

There were also cultivators adept at the Law of Fate offering fortunes. Tortoise shells, copper coins, tarot cards, crystal balls – everything was available on the stalls, showcasing their inclusiveness.

Moreover, some cultivators specializing in the way of puppetry made transformable robot models and freely assembled them, attracting many young cultivators to watch.

The stands stretched from the sides of the street all the way to the square, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.

Stalls filled the plaza as well. Compared to the scene Shen Yuan had seen a few days ago, these stalls had evidently gone through selection by the sects behind the market now, and those that blatantly sold counterfeit goods had already been kicked out.

Shen Yuan looked at the stall where he had previously purchased “Elemental Qi Fusion Method of Heaven and Earth”. The owner who sold books had long disappeared.

Along the way, Shen Yuan greatly enjoyed the lively atmosphere, while Xue Mingzhi and the other two had already gotten used to the surroundings since they came late.

Only Bai Xue, nestled in Shen Yuan’s arms, bore a sullen expression on her face.

Although the waiter had been punished, she had lost her treasured private stash of money, which made the kitten quite upset.

“How many little dried fish can those spirit woods be exchanged for?”

Bai Xue’s thoughts reverberated in Shen Yuan’s heart.

Hearing this clear thought, Shen Yuan finally remembered the little one in his arms.

She had made quite an effort earlier in the inn, and Shen Yuan had noticed everything.

He reached out to scratch her chin, and Bai Xue curled up comfortably, purring in contentment.

“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a big surprise later.”

Shen Yuan stroked the little Bai Xue, soothing her.

Shen Yuan’s behavior puzzled Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng.

They initially believed that Shen Yuan, held in such high regard by Xue Mingzhi, would be an extraordinary character, but his journey from the Moon Viewing Inn made them gradually lower their assessment of him.

Shen Yuan seemed to be wandering around Yunfu market, curious about everything, giving them the impression of someone who had not seen much of the world.

Moreover, the fact that Shen Yuan claimed to have been injured in a skirmish on the way to Yunfu market had made them look at him with some measure of contempt.

They knew that Yunfu market was located in the middle area of Yunfu mountain range, where there weren’t many powerful monster tribes, and even the few mountain gods had been warned by the major sects not to hassle human cultivators randomly.

In such a situation, getting injured was indeed questionable.

Qi Renyu, the tall figure, glanced at Jiang Meng, and seeing the same confusion in his companion’s eyes, he decided to quietly ask Xue Mingzhi, who was walking in front of them:

“This person…”

“Teacher Shen.” Xue Mingzhi clarified.

“We are not certain where Teacher Shen hails from, which sect he belongs to. Could Brother Xue clear up this confusion for us?”

Xue Mingzhi looked at Qi Renyu oddly: “How would I know?”

“Then how do you know Teacher Shen?”

“An elder in my family introduced us.”

Seeing the confusion in Qi Renyu’s eyes, Xue Mingzhi added: “An elder from my mother’s side.”

Qi Renyu suddenly understood, he was aware that Xue Mingzhi’s maternal family was a minor clan in Yun Province without any prominent individuals.

Since it was an elder from Xue Mingzhi’s maternal family who introduced Shen Yuan, Qi Renyu immediately started to figure things out.

Jiang Meng, who was standing next to him, also overheard the conversation and curiously came up to ask:

“Does Teacher Shen have an account on the Question and Answer Forum?”

At the mention of Shen Yuan’s account on the Question and Answer Forum, Xue Mingzhi’s face displayed a moment of strangeness.

“He… of course, he does.”

“Why not bring Teacher Shen into our Heaven’s Pride Association?”

“Teacher Shen’s account… is an invitation account. Let’s skip this venture.”

Once these words were spoken, Xue Mingzhi’s heart pounded.

As the person who invited Shen Yuan to the Question and Answer Forum, he knew exactly what Shen Yuan had done.

Within half a day of leaving the Courtyard Secret Realm, Shen Yuan had answered dozens of important long-standing questions in the Help Section of the forum, and even addressed Sunn Lanyu’s question on the River Ji Dragon Seal.

If this had been two months ago, Sunn Lanyu would have been an unknown entity on the Question and Answer Forum, receiving no attention.

But in just one month, Sunn Lanyu and the Sunn family behind him had set off major waves across the Great Xia.

Sunn Lanyu was selected by the River Ji Dragon Palace as its agent and issued a Dragon Palace Edict, to retrieve the River Ji Dragon Seal, he acted arbitrarily, even clashing with the Yellow River’s Aquatic Tribe several times.

With the focus on the Four Waterways Dragon Palace, all eyes in the Imperial Capital turned to the Sunn family, and then the many reasons and consequences were revealed.

The catalyst for Sunn Lanyu’s wild and reckless behavior turned out to be the question he had asked on the Question and Answer Forum more than a month prior, regarding the River Ji Dragon Seal.

An account by the name of Falling Clouds answered Sunn Lanyu’s question, and it was possible that the two had a brief private communication.

Then, Falling Clouds blacklisted Sunn Lanyu and did not inform him of all the details, which led Sunn Lanyu to try all possible means to access information about Falling Clouds.

First, he tried to get responses from the comments posted by Falling Clouds to attract attention, then he went to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in the Imperial Capital to search for Falling Clouds’ identity information in the backend. After being turned down by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, he put up rewards everywhere to get details of Falling Clouds’ identity.

The enormous noise naturally generated a lot of discussions, sparking the curiosity among many cultivators about the real identity of Falling Clouds.

If Xue Mingzhi were to inform them that Shen Yuan’s account was Falling Clouds, it would certainly bring unnecessary trouble, so he was purposely vague and dodged the question.

After all, Sunn Lanyu was still persistent in his search for Falling Clouds.

As for how Xue Mingzhi knew this? Because the points of his Question and Answer Forum account increased regularly after a certain period.

The source of these points was the continuous distribution of points from Sunn Lanyu to Shen Yuan, hoping to get a response from Shen Yuan.

By roughly calculating based on the points received from Shen Yuan (which was one percent of his total points), the amount of points Sunn Lanyu had paid in just the last month was nearly a hundred thousand.

Thinking of Sunn Lanyu grinding his teeth in hatred for Shen Yuan while persistently trying to get a response from him, Xue Mingzhi trembled.

However, witnessing Xue Mingzhi’s attitude gave Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng an entirely different understanding.

“An invitation account, doesn’t that mean an account without certification from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?”

“No wonder Xue Mingzhi is reluctant to invite him, he must be clear about the ins and outs, afraid that inviting him to the Heaven’s Pride Association would expose the truth.”

Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng muttered to themselves, and their interest in Shen Yuan completely evaporated.

As descendants of a major family in the Imperial Capital, they naturally had the privilege to look down on most people.

If it hadn’t been for Xue Mingzhi’s high regard for Shen Yuan arousing their curiosity, they wouldn’t have been interested in seeking information about Shen Yuan at all.
