FWF Chapter 1448: Liu Zemu
Chapter 1448: Liu Zemu
Their family stopped in a city, this city is at the border of the Medicine Sect and the Talisman Sect, belonging to neither, with the city lord being a loose cultivator, not even part of the Independent Practitioner Alliance.
The entry fee is genuinely expensive, five spirit stones per person.
This is really quite a bit for an average loose cultivator.
After entering the city, they found it quite nice, the Spirit Gathering Array made the Spiritual Energy in the city quite abundant.
There were many cultivators of all sorts.
Su Yuanyuan marveled at the city lord’s competence. Otherwise, this city would definitely be a battleground between the Medicine Sect and the Talisman Sect.
A few little cultivators came up to them and offered to be their guides.
Tan Shaoting chose one, "Tell us a bit about this city."
"Senior, this is Yi City, the city lord is a Divinity Transformation cultivator Liu Zemu, known as Wuwei Daojun.
The cultivators here are generally loose cultivators, but they are not part of the Independent Practitioner Alliance."
The little cultivator was quite eloquent. He introduced the other aspects of Yi City.
It turns out the city lord’s main source of income here comes from information trade and mercenaries.
This is indeed a rather sensitive area. Such people are generally quite difficult to deal with.
Moreover, their sources of information couldn’t possibly be all from the Righteous Path, according to Su Yuanyuan’s understanding, this was essentially the underworld.
The shops here were also very lively. Some people came here just like their family, others simply came to trade information.
Su Yuanyuan was not curious about this place at all. She always felt that knowing too much was not a good thing.
They had a little cultivator show them around, but there was no Duobao Pavilion here. Nor were there any offices from any sects.
They entered a shop at the City Lord’s Mansion, and upon arrival, Su Yuanyuan thought it was just like a supermarket, they really had everything.
Qi Hong was curious about Spirit Plants, so a little cultivator took him to see them.
Su Yuanyuan checked the catalog of arrays, surprised to find an Eighth Rank Array Plate present here.
She really underestimated this place, but the price for the Eighth Rank Array Plate was indeed high.
Upon reading the detailed description, this array plate integrated both defense and attack, but required top-grade spiritual stones.
The spirit stones weren’t a worry, even if the top-grade spiritual stones were exhausted, they could wait for it to absorb Spiritual Energy again, they had Spiritual Spring Water, they could simply place it in, and after one or two years, it would become a top-grade spiritual stone again.
But if they bought it, would it be too conspicuous? Su Yuanyuan chuckled at the thought, realizing her worry was unnecessary. Since their family arrived in Yi City, people must have already taken notice of them.
"Could I see the Eighth Rank Array Plate?"
"Please wait, Immortal, of course, you can."
Su Yuanyuan was very curious about the Eighth Rank Array Plate.
Shortly, a middle-aged Golden Core Stage cultivator arrived.
"Hello to both of you, I’m the steward here. Here’s the Eighth Rank Array Plate you requested."
Su Yuanyuan stood up to greet him, it was customary, strength does indeed command respect.
"Fellow Daoist, you’re too polite."
Su Yuanyuan took the array plate and inspected the materials, cross-referencing them with the array on top.
"I will take this Eighth Rank Array Plate."
"Su, good eye, I’ve inquired, and I can give you a twenty percent discount."
Su Yuanyuan smiled, she knew this would happen, since their family arrived in Yi City, it couldn’t have gone unnoticed.
"Thank you, senior, for your kindness and for the discount."
"Su, you’re too polite. Our city lord invites the three of you."
"It’s an honor for our family."
"Su, I’ll take the three of you over shortly."
Su Yuanyuan smiled, listening to the steward’s intentions, the city lord really did want to meet them.
They actually had the intention to meet, as they were indeed on someone else’s territory.
Tan Shaoting paid the spirit stones. The Eighth Rank Array Plate was prepared for Qi Wen.
The couple was most concerned about Qi Wen. The Eighth Rank Array Plates are still a high-level existence on this continent.
As long as the issue could be solved with spirit stones, the couple wouldn’t hesitate to provide for their children.
Qi Hong picked several dozen spirit plants, he was very happy.
Su Yuanyuan smiled, thinking it must be the simple joy of a professional.
"Mom."
"A fruitful day?"
"Yes, the things here are truly unique and top-grade."
"That’s good, let’s go, we’ll meet the city lord."
Qi Hong was not foolish, he quickly understood the situation and said nothing, the family followed behind the steward.
After entering the City Lord Mansion, Su Yuanyuan sighed, it was indeed very tasteful.
It was grand yet elegant, without a feeling of disharmony.
The family of three was led into the main hall. Immediately, a Foundation Establishment cultivator came to host them.
The couple was tacit, Su Yuanyuan drank tea, while Tan Shaoting touched nothing, remaining highly vigilant.
Qi Hong was as cautious as his father, with both father and son being on guard.
Soon, a refined and handsome cultivator entered.
The family of three stood up, "Greetings, Daojun."
"No need for courtesy, please sit down.
I apologize for the intrusion in inviting the three of you over."
"Daojun, you’re being too formal, it should be us who came to pay respects." Tan Shaoting was adept in saying the right social pleasantries.
Wuwei Daojun smiled, "Please take a seat."
The family sat down.
"I’m aware of your visit to Yi City, and I was curious to witness your grace, pardon my impetuousness."
The family of three listened while keeping their heads somewhat bowed.
"I’ve heard of your reputation, and I confess to being curious."
"Daojun, you flatter us."
Liu Zemu continuously observed Su Yuanyuan, a truly captivating person who had, at least, captured his interest.
Su Yuanyuan understood Liu Zemu’s intentions, feeling extremely disgusted, yet showing nothing on her face.
Tan Shaoting exchanged a few pleasantries. The family rose to take their leave.
"Would you care to extend your stay in Yi City?"
"Thank you for your kind offer, Daojun. We are headed to the Sword Sect, just passing by to broaden our horizons."
"I won’t keep you then; here’s a meeting gift for the three of you."
Three storage bags floated in front of the family.
In such a situation, they could only accept. The family of three bowed, "Thank you, Daojun."
Upon leaving the City Lord Mansion, the family exited the city directly, not browsing elsewhere at all.
The couple said nothing on the way, but Su Yuanyuan placed the three storage bags and the array plate into a box made of Absolute Spirit Stone.
Afraid Liu Zemu might have tampered with these items, it gave them peace of mind.
It wasn’t until three days later that Su Yuanyuan spoke of this matter, also informing Tan Shaoting of Liu Zemu’s ill intentions towards her.
Tan Shaoting furrowed his brows, feeling he was still too weak.
After they left, Liu Zemu continued to follow them with his Divine Sense.
Watching the woman he favored being so smart and cautious as to use an Absolute Spirit Stone to seal the items he gave, he chuckled.
Smart and cautious. This woman made him all the more enchanted.
