"Good disciple, you've finally come! I've missed you dearly!" Just as Liu Chen stood firm, he heard a warm greeting. He focused his gaze and saw Lang Ya Earth Spirit looking at him with a beaming smile, a stark contrast to his usual stern demeanor.
Seeing this, Liu Chen was a bit surprised, but he quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Master, your disciple greets you. May I ask why you summoned me this time?"
Lang Ya Earth Spirit smiled slightly and with a wave of his hand, a pot of tea appeared out of thin air. The teapot slowly rotated in the air, emitting a faint tea fragrance that invigorated anyone who smelled it.
"Come, have some tea first, and we can talk slowly," Lang Ya Earth Spirit said kindly.
Liu Chen thanked his Master, took the tea, and took a small sip. The tea was sweet and mellow, with an endless aftertaste. He secretly praised in his heart, his Master's tea was indeed good tea.
Setting down the teacup, Liu Chen looked at Lang Ya Earth Spirit again and asked, "Master, I wonder what big business it is this time that you summoned your disciple so urgently?"
"The collapse of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, that was truly an earth-shattering event! However, precisely because of this, all the Gu Immortals in the Five Regions have reaped abundant rewards," Lang Ya Earth Spirit's tone seemed a bit emotional. "And so, a Loose Cultivator from Northern Plains, Qin Baishang, took the opportunity to host a Northern Plains Gu Exchange Conference, specifically for exchanging Immortal materials and Immortal Gu. Hehe, I happen to have a batch of goods that can be sold at this conference."
As he spoke, a shrewd smile appeared on his face, as if he was very confident in his batch of goods.
Liu Chen was not in a hurry. He slowly asked, "Oh? What kind of goods are they?"
Lang Ya Earth Spirit's eyes rolled, and the smile on his face became even more cunning. He suddenly grabbed at the Void Realm, and in an instant, several coffins made of clouds appeared in his hand! These coffins looked quite peculiar, with clouds swirling around them, as if they contained some Cloud Dao mysteries.
With his current Cloud Dao Realm, he couldn't see anything special, but the hidden Forbidden Road techniques within were even more excellent, and Liu Chen was able to discern a thing or two from them.
Through the gaps in the clouds, one could vaguely see the Gu Immortals sleeping inside the coffins. All at once, these coffins occupied a significant portion of the hall, and there were quite a few of them, with a total of thirteen Gu Immortals slumbering within!
Lang Ya Earth Spirit looked at Liu Chen proudly, as if showing off his batch of "goods."
"You want your disciple to sell these Gu Immortal blessed lands? Wouldn't that leave your disciple with no place to stand in the Northern Plains? No, I won't do it, I won't do it!" Liu Chen shook his head like a rattle-drum, as if he was about to shake his head off, refusing with an exceptionally firm attitude.
He knew very well in his heart that for a business like selling Gu Immortal blessed lands, Lang Ya Earth Spirit could only rely on him now, so he naturally couldn't agree easily. The Righteous Path was to bargain for a higher price.
However, Lang Ya Earth Spirit didn't seem to give up because of his refusal. Instead, he unhurriedly took out a Cloud Sleeping Coffin from his embrace and gently placed it in front of Liu Chen.
"Good disciple, don't be in such a hurry to refuse," Lang Ya Earth Spirit said with a smile. "I won't let you work for nothing this time, you see what this is?"
Liu Chen fixed his gaze and saw the Gu Immortal within the Cloud Sleeping Coffin.
"This… this is…" Liu Chen's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.
"Haha, good disciple, this is a famous Demonic Path expert from the Northern Plains, known as Demonic Sword Ying Hantian!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit introduced proudly. "Although he only has a Rank six cultivation, he possesses the terrifying battle strength to contend with a Rank seven Gu Immortal. You are a Sword Path Gu Immortal, you should know what this means, right?"
Liu Chen certainly knew that Demonic Sword Ying Hantian was a well-known existence in the Northern Plains, not just for his battle achievements. Although they were both Sword Path Gu Immortals, Liu Chen had long started paying attention to Sword Path Gu Immortals in the Five Regions. These people were all experience babies to him. If he didn't have other things to do now, he would have already prepared to go on a killing spree. Undergoing Tribulation was not as fast as killing and devouring immortal apertures.
"What's more, you also have the Immortal Path Killer Move 'Meeting But Not Knowing Each Other'. It's not easy for others to discover your origins," Lang Ya Earth Spirit continued to persuade patiently.
"Mortal Dao Killer Move? How could that possibly withstand a Gu Immortal's investigation? If you gave me the other two Killer Moves as well, then it would be more or less acceptable." Liu Chen's lips curved slightly, revealing a cunning smile. Although he was already quite satisfied with this Sword Demon blessed land, he knew very well that this was just the beginning, and he wanted to strive for more benefits.
Upon hearing this, Lang Ya Earth Spirit immediately bristled with anger, roaring furiously, "You fellow, don't be too greedy! That's a Gu Immortal blessed land close to Rank seven, and Thieving Heaven's Immortal Path Killer Move, don't even think about it!"
However, Liu Chen was unmoved. He responded with a slight smile and composure, "Master, don't be angry. My purpose in coming this time is for the Heaven Stealing True Inheritance and your main body's Long Hair Refinement Path True Inheritance. These are things I've dreamed of, so I'm naturally determined to get them."
Liu Chen understood in his heart that although Lang Ya Earth Spirit had called him here and disrupted his original plans, this was also a good opportunity to improve himself. Especially Theft Path and Refinement Path, both were of great benefit to him now. Moreover, he still held a bargaining chip that Lang Ya Earth Spirit could not refuse, so he had enough confidence to strive for more.
"Hmph, I think you're crazy!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit, upon hearing Liu Chen's request, not only showed no anger but instead revealed a look of disdain, as if Liu Chen's request was so absurdly ridiculous.
However, Liu Chen didn't care about Lang Ya Earth Spirit's attitude. His lips curved slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"That's not necessarily true, Master, look!" Before Liu Chen finished speaking, he immediately activated a Rank seven Stream Immortal Gu. The Immortal Gu shone with a blue light in the air, and then, Liu Chen reached out and actually took out a surging torrent from his immortal aperture.
This was precisely the Refinement Path Heaven and Earth Secret Realm within his immortal aperture — the Refining Sea!
In an instant, a vast ocean stretched across the sea of clouds, with surging waves and majestic Aura. This ocean seemed to be connected to heaven and earth, boundless and endless, leaving people in awe.
Lang Ya Earth Spirit's eyes widened, looking at the Refining Sea before him with disbelief. His voice even trembled slightly: "This… this is… back then, it was all true, you really were deceiving me back then, this is great, Refining Sea, a genuine Refining Sea!"
His mood was extremely excited, and his eyes were filled with fervent desire.
