FWF Chapter 324: Exchanging Rewards
Chapter 324: Exchanging Rewards
"Lu Yu, the ranking competition has ended, and now you are in first place."
After entering the study, the Master of the Greedy Wolf Hall said to Lu Yu.
"Thank you for nurturing me, I am deeply grateful," Lu Yu respectfully clasped his fists and said.
Although he was very respectful on the surface, he was already anxious in his heart.
Enough with the small talk, let's get straight to the point. Hurry up and bring out the substitute Dragon Wood, will you?
Having this thing is like having an extra life.
Who wouldn't want that?
"Hehe, your rewards will definitely not be lacking, so rest assured. However..."
As soon as the conversation turned, Lu Yu felt something was not right.
Could it be that the Master of the Greedy Wolf Hall also coveted his rewards and wanted to keep them for himself?
Now a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.
Of course, he could only show a little bit of displeasure, he couldn't say anything else.
After all, this is the Greedy Wolf Hall, and they are the bosses here.
Even if they don't give him the rewards... he probably wouldn't have any good solutions.
"Well, I have something precious here for you to take a look at."
The Master of the Greedy Wolf Hall didn't mention the rewards anymore, but casually took out an ancient jade scroll.
"This jade scroll records 108 kinds of advanced pill formulas, which I have collected painstakingly over the years. As an alchemist, you should know the value of this jade scroll, right?"
"Priceless," Lu Yu nodded.
The pill formulas that can catch the attention of the Master of the Greedy Wolf Hall must be extraordinary, not to mention there are 108 of them.
"There's something I want to discuss with you. Do you know Yi Zhong? He is cultivating a technique called Dragon Body Technique, and this substitute Dragon Wood is of great significance to him."
"So, does the Hall Master want to exchange this thing for the substitute Dragon Wood?" Lu Yu's tone became a little displeased.
The pill formulas in this jade scroll may be valuable, but the substitute Dragon Wood is something used for self-preservation!
Pill formulas can be bought with money, but the substitute Dragon Wood is priceless.
There's simply no comparison, right?
Moreover, he now has the Golden Light Pill, so he doesn't really need more advanced pill formulas for the time being. So this jade scroll is somewhat redundant for him.
He is absolutely unwilling to exchange this thing for the substitute Dragon Wood.
"Hehe... of course not just that," the Master of the Greedy Wolf Hall awkwardly smiled.
He naturally knew that these two things were not of equal value, he was just testing the waters.
"The substitute Dragon Wood is actually just a carved Dragon Wood with an array formation. I have a larger piece of Dragon Wood here. If you can find someone to carve the array formation on it, this piece of Dragon Wood is much more valuable than the reward."
The Master of the Greedy Wolf Hall took out the substitute Dragon Wood and the piece of Dragon Wood he had collected together.
The substitute Dragon Wood is a carved dragon shape, only the length of a palm.
The piece of Dragon Wood he took out is as long as an arm.
Apart from the lack of carvings, the two emit almost the same aura.
Lu Yu carefully identified it and confirmed that this thing was indeed Dragon Wood without a doubt.
Now he hesitated a bit.
The substitute Dragon Wood is essentially just a Dragon Wood with an array formation carved on it. The difficulty lies not in carving the array formation, but in finding the Dragon Wood itself, which is extremely rare.
As long as there is material, carving the array formation is actually quite simple.
"How about it, using that jade scroll to exchange for this piece of Dragon Wood, you shouldn't be at a loss."
Two heavyweight treasures were placed in front of him, and Lu Yu finally felt a little tempted.
"Master, it's not that I'm greedy for your Dragonwood, but I think it's difficult to find a pill formula... So let's make the exchange. I hope Fellow Daoist can cultivate a higher-level technique and make our Greedy Wolf Hall stronger."
"Hahaha, alright, it's settled then."
The Master of Greedy Wolf Hall was overjoyed.
Although he had given away a piece of Dragonwood, he knew the value of a substitute Dragonwood.
How easy is it to carve a formation?
Legend has it that Dragonwood is the tree where dragons reside when they transform. It is exceptionally hard because it has absorbed the aura of dragons.
Even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to leave a mark on it, let alone carve a formation.
If he had such a large piece of Dragonwood, why would he willingly exchange it with Lu Yu?
The transaction between the two went smoothly.
Lu Yu received the Dragonwood and put the jade slip into his storage bag.
As he walked, he used his divine sense to explore the pill formulas on the jade slip.
There were indeed over a hundred, but after reading these pill formulas, he felt a bit depressed.
Most of these pill formulas were various kinds of spirit beast pills with different functions, and there were very few pills that cultivators could use.
Moreover, the grade of the pills for cultivators was too high. With his current Foundation Building stage cultivation, let alone whether he could refine them, even if he could, he couldn't consume them!
With such powerful pills, wouldn't his small body explode immediately after consuming them?
"Alas, I don't know if I gained or lost."
After leaving the study of the Master of Greedy Wolf Hall, Lu Yu saw Yi Zhong waiting at the door.
He helplessly glanced at him and ignored him.
The difference between people is so great.
He was just a disciple casually taken in by the Master of Greedy Wolf Hall, while Yi Zhong was the Master's direct disciple!
The difference between a biological son and an adopted son is too great.
So he didn't even think about comparing himself with Yi Zhong because there was simply no basis for comparison.
"What's wrong? Didn't the Master give you a reward?"
Wan Yue Fairy, who was nearby, noticed his expression and asked.
"He exchanged it with me."
Lu Yu sighed helplessly.
Then he explained the situation to her.
After listening to his account, Wan Yue Fairy frowned.
"Carving a substitute Dragonwood requires at least a Void God stage expert. This piece of wood is probably useless in your hands."
"What can we do? The situation is stronger than people."
Lu Yu helplessly shrugged.
The die had been cast, and Wan Yue Fairy didn't have a good solution either.
If she had known that the Master of Greedy Wolf Hall would do this, she should have followed him earlier.
"Are you done with your business? Shall we go back?"
Feeling upset today, Lu Yu decided to turn his sorrow into strength and have a good discussion with her about improving their cultivation.
Seeing his gaze fall on the fair and tender skin under her shoulder, Wan Yue Fairy knew exactly what he was thinking.
"You're in the mood for this!"
She helplessly rolled her eyes, her charm overflowing.
"What else can we do? After all, he is the Hall Master. Let's go. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. It's still early, so let's go back and discuss the meaning of life."
"Hmph!"
Wan Yue Fairy's face blushed slightly, but she let him hold her hand and they left Greedy Wolf Hall together.
Because there was a Gold Core stage female cultivator by his side, those seductive women who had offered themselves earlier could only watch as he left Greedy Wolf Hall, and in the end, no one dared to approach him again.
