All the martial artists in Jianghu are desperate criminals.
In the world of Shenwu, there is a saying that, although the actual situation is not absolute, it also reveals the situation of the vast majority of martial artists in the world.
Especially the middle-aged man with scars all over his face, Long Yu didn't think there was any benefit in paying an extra 10,000 divine coins to make friends with him.
If the other party knew his identity, Long Yu, there is still a great possibility that he would betray Long Yu and leak the news that Long Yu has so many divine coins, thus causing trouble for Long Yu.
Long Yu's identity meant that he would never take the risk of doing anything unnecessary.
After obtaining the Shadow Sky Stone, Long Yu let the Ancient Remnant Shadow perform the Divine Invisibility Technique, and then, relying on the power of the spatial divine text on the Void Phantom Dragon Blade, teleported the Ancient Remnant Shadow directly to his courtyard on the fifth floor.
"The Shadow Sky Stone, absorbing its power, can improve the martial artist's comprehension and compatibility with the Shadow Attribute Divine Text..."
Long Yu did not start absorbing directly, but first returned to the training room and thoroughly felt the power of this Shadow Sky Stone.
If you want to make better use of this Shadow Sky Stone, you obviously need to know more about it.
Heavenly stones are all produced from the concentrated areas of divine power. Their properties are similar to those of divine essence, but there are some differences. Compared with divine essence, the properties of heavenly stones are more specific, and can only improve martial artists who have comprehended divine texts of specific attributes.
The conditions for producing a Heavenly Stone are much higher than those for producing a Divine Essence. That is to say, it is much more difficult to produce a Heavenly Stone in nature. And a martial artist can only absorb a Heavenly Stone once in his lifetime, unlike the Divine Essence which can be absorbed twice.
"Generally speaking, after absorbing the power of the Heavenly Stone, one's comprehension of the corresponding divine text can be enhanced by 10% to 20%, and the degree of compatibility with the corresponding divine text's attributes can be raised by one level."
Long Yu flipped through many classics hidden in the library in the courtyard, and after learning about this characteristic of the heavenly stone, he knew that he was in great luck today.
Not to mention 30,000 divine coins, even if he spent all 100,000 divine coins, Long Yu would not feel that he had lost money by buying the Shadow Sky Stone.
While Long Yu was delighted, he did not forget to be vigilant. After all, this was a priceless treasure between heaven and earth, and one could never tell if anyone might have bad intentions towards it.
He sent out all the ancient remnants to hide. One of them followed the middle-aged man with scars on his face. After finding out that he had obtained 30,000 divine coins, he left the Source Sky Tower as quickly as possible and disappeared.
If they leave the Source Sky Tower, Long Yu will have no way to track them, but he still lets an ancient shadow guard the entrance of the Source Sky Tower. If the other party appears again, Long Yu will find him directly.
As for the other three ancient remnants, Long Yu asked them to gather information on various levels of the Source Sky Tower, especially those related to the Shadow Sky Stone and speculations about the identity of those who purchased the Shadow Sky Stone. This kind of information interested Long Yu the most.
Fortunately, no one could guess that the person who bought the Shadow Sky Stone was called Long Yu!
Although Murong Xiuzhen, the cabinet elder from the Five Emperors Alliance, recognized Long Yu's identity, not everyone could recognize it. Long Yu's identity has not been spread yet.
The beautiful female cultivator at the Seventh Path Divine Ability Realm who led Long Yu to this courtyard would appear at the gate of the courtyard every day and bring Long Yu some wine and fruit.
This beautiful female cultivator knew Long Yu's identity, but due to the rules of Yuanquan Tianta, she would not tell anyone about Long Yu's identity unless she didn't want to continue living here.
Long Yu had to devote some of his attention to the ancient remnant to ensure his own safety, so Long Yu could not fully concentrate on his cultivation and secretly thought that he should leave.
Five days after purchasing the Shadow Sky Stone, Long Yu still hadn't absorbed it, because he wanted to have an absolutely safe environment before he dared to absorb it.
For him, there is only one such place now - Tianyu Manor.
Although there is still a month before the Beixue Dynasty's imperial capital event, it would be a good idea to go back early to make some preparations. After thinking about it for a while, Long Yu decided to recruit a few helpers before leaving.
After all, the grand event in the imperial capital is related to whether Tianyu Manor can continue to exist, so there can be no mistakes. Long Yu wants to find a few trustworthy martial artists to come and help Tianyu Manor.
Throughout the imperial capital's grand events, this method of seeking help from outsiders was not prohibited, because in the eyes of the many forces in the Beixue Imperial Capital, how could outsiders compare to their talents
This is indeed the case. Among the martial artists in the martial arts world, it is almost impossible for a powerful king-level secret realm warrior under the age of 30 to appear. However, among the many forces in the Beixue Imperial Capital, there are twelve forces that have powerful king-level warriors under the age of 30!
Long Yu wanted to ask Gu Yixian for help, but unfortunately Gu Yixian was over 30 years old, so he had to give up.
"In the Broken Tooth team, the girl Qiao Ziying is not yet thirty years old, and she is a master of the Five Paths Divine Ability Realm who has comprehended the complete divine text imprint. Even if her true strength is not as good as mine, she is definitely stronger than Man Xin..."
Long Yu thought to himself that it seemed difficult to take the girl Qiao Ziying away, as the four members of the Broken Tooth Team seemed to have a good relationship.
But no matter what, Long Yu wanted to give it a try. If he could take Qiao Ziying back to participate in the imperial capital event, Long Yu's confidence would increase a lot.
…
Long Yu arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the Broken Tooth Squad usually rested. He did not hide his head and tail, but showed his true face directly - he looked like this when he first came to the Source Sky Tower. He only put on a black robe and a ghost face mask when he asked the Ancient Remnant to go out to gather information and purchase Shadow Sky Stone.
"It's you, mountain ghost."
The person who opened the courtyard gate was the girl Qiao Ziying, who was a little surprised when she saw Long Yu.
She was still very impressed with Long Yu, but it was obvious that Long Yu had no intention of joining the Broken Tooth Team, so she only regarded him as a friend she had met once.
She didn't expect Long Yu to come to her suddenly.
"it's me."
Long Yu smiled and didn't say he wanted to go in to talk. He asked directly, "I came here to tell you my true identity and to ask everyone in the Cracked Tooth Squad for a small favor."
"real identity?"
When the young girl Qiao Ziying heard this, a strange look flashed in her bright eyes. She had never thought that this "mountain ghost" appeared in front of them with a fake identity.
"Come in, I can't make the decision on this matter."
Qiao Ziying spoke lightly, invited Long Yu into the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard gate.
When the strange beasts of the Wood God Clan launched a massive counterattack from the source land, she and Long Yu had fought side by side and felt deeply how powerful Long Yu was.
Of course, Long Yu's real combat power is definitely not as good as Gu Yixian of the Broken Tooth Team, but as a young man in the third level of magical power, his combat power is definitely higher than that of the two female cultivators, her and Nanmen Yingxia. He is even inferior to the captain of their Broken Tooth Team, Gu Wenshan.
Such powerful fighting ability has made Qiao Ziying curious about him. Not only Qiao Ziying, but the other three members of the Broken Tooth Team are also quite interested in Long Yu. However, since they were not very familiar with each other before, they were embarrassed to get to the bottom of it.
I didn't expect that Long Yu would come to my door now...
"Brother Shan Gui, please take a seat. Ziying will go make a pot of tea."
Gu Wenshan warmly entertained Long Yu with a smile on his face, and pulled Long Yu to sit in the courtyard: "My brother is practicing now, and Miss Nanmen is out purchasing supplies. I'm afraid she can't come out to entertain you."
"No need to bother."
Long Yu waved his hand. He was here to recruit helpers, so he got straight to the point and said, "Among your Cracked Tooth team, it seems that only Miss Qiao Ziying is under 30 years old, right?"
This question made Gu Wenshan alert all of a sudden: "Brother Shan Gui, are you interested in Ziying?"
"… "
Long Yu was stunned.
…
After a while, when Qiao Ziying made the hot tea, Gu Wenshan finally understood Long Yu's idea.
"I didn't expect that Brother Shan Gui is actually the recently famous Long Yu. I am so disrespectful."
Gu Wenshan said enthusiastically.
"Are you Long Yu?"
Qiao Ziying had just brought the tea. Upon hearing this, her bright eyes lit up, and she was obviously very surprised: "No wonder you are so powerful at the third level of magical power. You are much stronger than me!"
"Ziying, Brother Long Yu wants you to go with him and help him attend the Imperial Capital event. What do you think?"
Gu Wenshan asked Qiao Ziying tentatively.
"The Imperial Capital's Grand Gathering!"
Qiao Ziying seemed a little surprised: "That's a grand gathering for young martial artists from the entire Beixue Dynasty! I actually want to go and see it every year, but I don't have the qualifications. I heard that most of the young talents from the entire dynasty will appear in the imperial capital event."
"good."
Gu Wenshan nodded and said, "Although the Imperial Capital Gala is only held in the Beixue Imperial Capital, the vast majority of young geniuses in the entire imperial dynasty belong to the Imperial Capital. The number of young geniuses in the major counties outside the Imperial Capital is less than one-tenth of that in the Imperial Capital."
"Miss Qiao Ziying, if you are willing to go back with me and attend the Imperial Capital Gala, I have a courtyard on the fifth floor of the Source Sky Tower. The expiration date of that courtyard is eleven months, and I can give it to the Cracked Tooth Squad."
Long Yu continued to speak, thinking that the situation seemed to be going well. The young martial arts geniuses in the Jianghu seemed to be longing for the imperial capital event of the Beixue Dynasty.
“This is a pleasant surprise.”
Gu Wenshan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Although this is not appropriate, after you, Brother Long Yu, leave, there shouldn't be anyone else entering the courtyard, right?"
"Well, the house will be empty when I'm gone, so you guys might as well go."
Long Yu said with a smile.
"That's good."
Gu Wenshan smiled and looked at Qiao Ziying: "Ziying has always wanted to go to the Imperial Capital Festival. It's a good idea for you to give her this opportunity. However, I'm not sure if she can go alone. Let Miss Nanmen accompany her."
"Well, no problem, but Miss Nanmen should be over thirty years old, right?"
Long Yu asked this, lowering his voice slightly.
"It's true that she can't attend the Imperial Capital event, but we won't feel comfortable if Ziying doesn't have anyone to accompany her."
Gu Wenshan looked at Long Yu, trying to tell him that this was a major condition for him to let Qiao Ziying go. Of course, Long Yu would not refuse.
