Chapter 41: Back to Horizon City, the Chosen One of the Central Plains
Chapter 41: Back to Horizon City, the Chosen One of the Central Plains
After collecting the materials of the frigid flame underworld tiger, Su Yi looked at the half-collapsed cave entrance and walked in.
After all, it was a nest of a monster king. There should be some good stuff inside.
Soon, he arrived at the place where he met the frigid flame underworld tiger. After searching carefully, he found a pinch of ancient devil powder on a rock wall.
[Hint: Collection successful, obtained ancient devil powder x25]
[Hint: Collection successful, obtained ancient devil powder x15]
…
A few hints popped up. He had obtained a total of 55 portions of ancient devil powder.
Looking at the deep part of the cave that was still dark, he did not stop and continued to walk in.
The deep part of the cave was not as dark and narrow as the passage outside.
When he first entered, Su Yi only felt a wave of emptiness. A beam of light shone in from the ceiling of the cave. Vaguely, he could see a treasure chest placed not far away.
Following the light, he walked over. It was a silver treasure chest, exactly the same as the treasure chest in the chaotic cloudy creek.
He did not hesitate and reached out to open the treasure chest. A bright light flashed and a Daoist robe appeared in Su Yi’s eyes.
[Hint: You have obtained an equipment, Frostflame Robe (foundation establishment)]
After a hint, the attributes of the robe appeared in his eyes.
[Frostflame Robe: Strength + 300, physique + 100, defense + 1000]
[Description: Originally, it was an ordinary foundation establishment robe. After being baptized by some kind of flame, it was successfully upgraded to a high-grade magic treasure. Moreover, the wearer has a 50% burning resistance.]
Upon seeing this robe, Su Yi’s eyes lit up. He did not expect that this robe’s attributes not only increased defense, but also had a special effect.
Following that, he waved his hand and changed into this robe.
A cool feeling came from his body, and even his mind became much clearer.
Looking at the appearance, the Snow-white Robe had faint silver flame patterns on it. When paired with Su Yi’s already handsome face, it gave off an elegant feeling.
After searching the cave again, he found a total of 125 ancient devil powder and a few rare ores.
This was a very good harvest.
He exited the cave. The scorching sun shone on his body, but there was no feeling of burning. He could not help but think that this Frostflame Robe was a really good find.
Su Yi once again strolled around the Underworld Tiger Peak. After finding that there was no more place to explore, he planned to return to Horizon City.
Looking at the nearly two million yuan worth of materials in the seal, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
With quick steps, he walked back to the path that led up the mountain.
…
Two days later, Horizon City
Su Yi walked out of the teleportation array and could not help but sigh as he looked at the city that was bustling with people.
The moment he went to Demon Subduing Mountain, it had been several days and nights.
After finding his direction, he quickly arrived at the Nie family branch.
Just as he entered the Nie family branch, he ran into an acquaintance.
“Shopkeeper Wei, how have you been?”
He looked at the somewhat busy figure and greeted him.
The other party was stunned. When he turned his head and saw that it was Su Yi, he smiled and said.
“So it’s Young Master Su. You’re here to look for Miss, right? Miss is upstairs now.”
“Yes, thank you.”
He originally thought that Nie Ling would not be here. If she was, that would be even better.
He slowly walked upstairs and saw Nie Ling in a room. She was wearing a cyan gauze robe and was looking down at something.
She did not notice Su Yi’s arrival at all.
Nie Ling looked at the materials on the table and frowned from time to time.
“What’s bothering you so much?”
The sudden voice gave her a fright. She raised her head and saw the familiar figure with a smile on her face.
“Fellow Daoist Su, you’ve returned from your experiential learning.”
“Yes.”
He replied as he took out the materials he had collected over the past few days from his seal.
“Demon Subduing Mountain isn’t very big. These are the only materials I can get my hands on.”
Nie Ling was slightly startled when she saw the materials Su Yi had taken out.
He had only gone out for a few days, yet he had already collected so many materials.
Afterward, she helped him estimate the value of the items. Other than the demonic cores Su Yi needed to use, he obtained a total of nearly 2.4 million yuan worth of materials.
“Fellow Daoist Su, even I’m a little envious of your wealth-gathering speed,” Nie Ling said with a light smile.
She felt much more relaxed the moment Su Yi returned.
“Fellow Daoist Nie, you flatter me. No matter how you compare, it can’t be compared to your Nie family’s trading firm, right?”
“Hahaha.”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Then, Su Yi asked.
“Oh right, fellow Daoist Nie, I saw the worry on your face just now. Could it be that something troublesome had happened?”
“Yes. In the Central Plains, the Thousand Treasures Pavilion has been suppressing our Nie family’s branch in every way, including the medicinal pills used for cultivation. We urgently need a batch of low-and middle-grade foundation establishment medicinal pills to gain a firm foothold under the suppression of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”
Nie Ling looked at Su Yi and indifferently explained the current situation of the Nie family’s branch. There was no more worry on her face.
“Medicinal pills?”
He pondered for a moment. Now that he had a lot of ancient demonic powder and foundation establishment demonic pills in his hands, it was indeed time to refine some medicinal pills to help the Nie family’s trading company tide over this difficult situation.
“However, this matter isn’t urgent. You’ve just returned from your experiential learning. It’s better for you to rest for two days first. However, I want to hear about the things that have happened to you in the past few days. Is that alright?”
Nie Ling looked at him with a gentle gaze and asked in a gentle voice.
“Of course.”
As he spoke, Su Yixun sat on a chair to the side and followed the events that had happened in the past few days.
From the beginning, he entered the Demon Subduing Mountain, then to the Underworld Tiger Peak, and finally met the demon king.
At the end, Su Yi saw Nie ling looking at him with a strange look.,
He asked, “what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
“No, fellow Daoist Su. Do you still remember the name of the person you fought with?”
Nie Ling asked curiously.
“That person didn’t say his name.”
Su Yi said indifferently. He was also curious as to why Nie Ling would pay so much attention to this person.
“Then do you remember anything special about the move that person used?”
She chased after Su Yi and asked.
He recalled for a moment and realized that every time the green-robed man used a move, there seemed to be the shadow of an Azure Dragon, so he said.
“That person’s every move had the shadow of an azure dragon. Oh, right, he seemed to have shouted something, something called the Azure Martial Art.”
Hearing this, Nie Ling looked at Su Yi as if she was looking at a monster.
“I know who that person is, but I never thought that one of the eight Heaven’s Favorites, Qing Lexian, would actually be defeated by you.”
“Eighth Heaven’s Favorites?”
Su Yi was puzzled. Ever since he came to the Central Plains, he had gone to the Demon Subduing Mountain and had yet to familiarize himself with the various factions and powers. Now that Nie Ling mentioned it, it was just the right time to get to know these things.
Under his curious gaze, Nie Ling began to speak slowly.
“It’s like this. There are a total of eight Heaven’s Favorites in the Central Plains of the great desolate.”
“Among them, there’s Qing Lexian from the Marquis Qing Manor and Lan Xiaotian from the Fate Intercepting Pavilion in the eastern region.”
“In the northern region, there’s Nangong Mingyue from the Inquisitive Heart Palace, Zi Xin from the Purple Fan Pavilion, and Ling Jun from the Abyss Valley.”
“In the western region, there’s only one, Xi Menao from the Yuanwu Pavilion.”
“The last two are in the southern region, Xuan Yijian from the Sword Pavilion, and Dao Hai from the top aristocratic family, the Dao family.”
“I’ve heard that two top Heaven’s Favorites have also entered the Central Plains recently, but I can’t get any information about them…”
