Previously, in the treehouse, Chen Luoyang had used his smurf, the ” Parasol Tree “, to give Li Gucheng some pointers.
From then on, he had been waiting for Li Gucheng’s Red Dust to come to the Divine Lands to find him.
If he announced that he had the Demon Venerable’s background, it would be very difficult for others to believe him.
However, if it was someone else who had explored it bit by bit, then these people were more likely to believe in their own efforts.
Furthermore, there were some things that Chen Luoyang wanted in Li Gu City.
Wu Tong had earned the Essence Immortal Grass and the Heaven Valley Jade. Now that he had earned another sum of money in the Divine Lands, it was equivalent to plucking the same wool twice. He could maximize the value of it.
Who said that a penny couldn’t be split into two?
It’s a fair trade. I’m a person with a conscience, so I’ll naturally give you the recipe for the Fu Ning Pill. So, my friend, the Divine Lands welcomes you.
As Chen Luoyang was calculating in his heart, he saw Li Gucheng in the stone hall in the underground world.
” Cult Master Chen, please. I’ve heard a lot about you and have always been looking forward to meeting you. Today, I finally have the chance to meet you. Your grace is indeed better than your reputation. ” “Hmm, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to call you that, right?” said Young Li Wangye with a smile.
Chen Luoyang sized up Li Gu City with interest.
The Western Qin Empire was a mortal world empire that stood on equal footing with the Southern Chu Empire. It ruled over a vast territory, including the sacred ground of the Buddhist Sect, the western paradise, as well as the famous Daoist sects Mount Taiyi and Mount Crimson City.
The relationship between the Western Qin Empire and the western paradise wasn’t harmonious.
According to what Tu Shanyi had casually mentioned during their chat, the current Great Emperor of the Western Qin Empire was ambitious and had a strong desire to improve.
The Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan and the Western Qin Empire’s sphere of influence also had borders.
However, the relationship between the two parties was still acceptable. At least, it was not as tense as the relationship between the Ancient Gods Clan and
South Chu.
The reason for this was more or less related to the bad relationship between the Ancient Gods Clan and the western paradise.
In the mortal world, although the South Chu Empire and the West Qin Empire were not holy lands for martial arts, they were basically no different from holy lands.
The core direct descendants were limited by blood relations. The imperial clan might not have as many candidates as the western paradise, the Heavenly River, the Ancient Gods Clan, and the Blood River.
However, their influence in the secular world was even greater. They promoted talents from all walks of life and nurtured them. Empires like South Chu and West Qin also had many experts.
Other than the core techniques of the imperial family, they also collected other techniques to attract, recruit, and nurture talents.
Therefore, regardless of strength or power, they were at the top of the pyramid.
The Chu Emperor and the Great Emperor of Western Qin were also among the righteous experts of the mortal world.
Relatively speaking, they were in the righteous path camp and valued order and stability more.
However, if one were to really talk about it, it was still the matter of the kingly path and tyranny. It could not be measured purely by the boundary between the righteous path and the demonic path.
The reason why the empires were so close to the righteous path was that, in Chen Luoyang’s opinion, they were similar to the Grand Xia Empire in the Divine Lands.
In the mortal world, relatively speaking, the righteous path forces and dynasties occupied relatively rich and densely populated places.
And many demonic path forces surrounded the center and had the heart to advance.
Thus, Dynasty and the Righteous Dao were on the same side.
However, compared to the Divine Lands of yesteryear, the situation in the mortal world was much more chaotic.
The boundary between the righteous and demonic path was clear and irreconcilable between some forces, while some forces were blurry.
This was the situation between the West Qin Empire and the Ancient Gods Clan.
In comparison, the relationship between Western Qin and the buddha sacred land, the western paradise, was even more tense.
Li Gucheng, who was in front of Chen Luoyang, had previously come into contact with the members of the Ancient Gods Clan in the mortal world.
After he came to the Divine Lands, he addressed Chen Luoyang as Cult Master. This action was truly thought-provoking.
“Unfortunately, I have never heard of you.” ” Yes. ” Chen Luoyang replied indifferently, ” Therefore, why have you come to my Divine Lands? ”
Li Gucheng smiled. ” It’s normal that Cult Master Chen hasn’t heard of me.
Even if he has, he probably has the notoriety of ‘good-for-nothing’ and ‘prodigal son.’
Chen Luoyang looked at him quietly.
Compared to Cheng Qiyuan and Cheng Huyuan from South Chu, Li Gucheng did not have the temperament of a noble. He gave people the feeling that he was an idle young master.
Perhaps it was because he lacked talent since he was young and his martial arts skills were not smooth.
Others might not know, but Chen Luoyang knew it all too well.
If this guy really did not care about anything, he would not have come to the Divine Lands.
“I came here today with no other intentions. I heard of Cult Master Chen’s great name, so I came to pay a visit. I hope I can form a good relationship with him.” Li Gucheng smiled. ” Cult Master Chen has a bright future ahead of him. His reputation is already shocking. It’s my honor to have a friend like you.
As he spoke, a Cloud Swallowing Bag appeared in his hand. He gently raised his hand and the Cloud Swallowing Bag floated in front of Chen Luoyang.”This is just a small token of my appreciation. I don’t mean to be disrespectful. It’s just that it’s my first time visiting as a guest, so I naturally have to prepare some gifts. Don’t blame me for being rude.”
After Chen Luoyang casually received it, he placed it aside and didn’t open it.
” I have never stepped into the mortal world, but there are many people who harbor evil intentions towards the Divine Lands. Other than my brothers from the Ancient Gods Clan, you are a guest who rarely shows kindness. I don’t care if you really have good intentions or have other plans, but…
Head Cult Master Chen’s tone was calm, without any fluctuations. “I like honest people.”
Li Gucheng’s expression was normal. ” It’s normal for Cult Master Chen to have such thoughts. However, what I said just now was not false. ‘
This time, I came to the Divine Lands in hopes of forming a good relationship with you, Cult Master Chen.
In this way, if I have something to ask of you, won’t I be able to get your help?
Of course, I won’t let Cult Master Chen’s efforts go to waste. Money is not important to me. I will never let my friends suffer.”
He glanced at the Cloud Devouring Bag that Chen Luoyang had casually placed at the side and said, That’s just a greeting gift. I’ll ask Cult Master Chen for your help later. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I’ll have another gift to thank you. ‘
Chen Luoyang’s fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the stone throne.
‘”‘ Speak.”
“Cult Master Chen is a straightforward person, then I will get straight to the point.” Li Gucheng said, ” I was entrusted by someone to search for the relics left behind by the Supreme Martial Artist. I wonder if Cult Master Chen has any clues? ”
He paused for a moment and said frankly,”Forgive me for not being able to tell you who asked you to do this. If possible, I also hope that Cult Master Chen can keep our conversation today a secret.”
Chen Luoyang sized him up.
For a moment, he couldn’t tell if Li Gucheng was pretending to be honest.
Strictly speaking, the other party’s current behavior was to his liking.
However, this involved a problem. How much did Li Gucheng know about Chen Luoyang’s character?
Chen Luoyang’s mind was spinning, but his expression didn’t change at all. He continued to look at Li Gucheng indifferently.”Why are you asking me?”
Li Gucheng smiled. ” Cult Master Chen, you are a genius. I believe in you. But I also believe that a great teacher produces an outstanding disciple. ‘
“The person who initiated my martial path was my late father,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
Li Gucheng keenly caught the profound meaning behind Chen Luoyang’s words.
His father was the one who initiated him.
Then what about the real seat master?
Chen Luoyang glanced at Li Gucheng and calmly said, I can’t find the answer to your question. I only recently learned about the name of the Supreme Martial Artist from you people of the mortal world.
Li Gucheng pondered carefully, deep in thought.
Chen Luoyang’s answer was so ambiguous…
If it had nothing to do with the Supreme Martial Artist, he could just say it directly.
Now, the meaning of this answer seemed to be that he had indeed come into contact with a mighty expert, but he was not sure if it was a Supreme Martial Artist.
Was this true or false?
Did he know that it was a Supreme Martial Artist?
Had he ever come into contact with such a powerful expert?
However, it did not matter. This clue was enough. Whether it was true or false, how much was true or not, it would be left to Mr. Zun, who had remarkable abilities, to judge.
If I bring this clue back, it should be enough to satisfy Mr. Zun.
Li Gucheng pondered in his heart as he cupped his fists towards Chen Luoyang.”Thank you for your guidance, Cult Master Chen.”
Chen Luoyang gave a noncommittal smile.
“If Cult Master Chen needs anything, please tell me. I will do my best to help you complete it as a form of thanks.” Li Gucheng said.
Chen Luovang’s fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the stone throne and he said indifferently, “”Aren’t you underestimating me too much?”
“I wouldn’t dare.” “It’s only because, besides being honest, I’m also a man of my word. I’m a person who likes to make friends,” said Li Gucheng with a smile.
After pausing for a moment, he added,” However, just as Cult Master Chen knows, I am just a nobody in the mortal world. I can’t say anything about the West Qin’s national policy. I can only thank you in this aspect with some savings. ‘
Chen Luoyang sized him up. How about this, Sky Heart Sand, Lightning Calamity Grass, and Jade Light Agate, you can choose any one of these three things. ”
Hearing this, Li Gucheng nodded slightly, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he began to think.
Chen Luoyang looked at his appearance and thought otherwise.
Kid, don’t pretend.
I’m sure you have both the Heavenheart Sand and the Lightning Calamity Grass.
Li Gucheng was actually muttering in his heart.
Chen Luoyang had given him a fright when he mentioned the Heaven Heart Sand and Thunder Calamity Grass. He had thought that Chen Luoyang had grasped the list of treasures in his little treasury and knew what treasures he had.
It was only when he heard that he didn’t have the Jade Light Agate that he heaved a sigh of relief.
He calculated for a moment and said, ” I can get the Heaven Heart Sand, but I wonder how much Sect Leader Chen wants? ”
“One side,” said Chen Luoyang.
He wasn’t sure how much Heaven’s Heart Sand Li Gucheng had, so this price was a little too much.
Li Gucheng nodded without hesitation. “Alright, but please allow me a few days to prepare.”
“Of course not,” said Chen Luoyang.
The two of them looked at each other with a faint smile on their faces. They were both satisfied with their gains today..
