Chapter 2051: Solicitation!
Chapter 2051: Solicitation!
Ten days later, Zhou Yu and his team returned to Fengyuan City.
After handing over their mission at the City Defense Headquarters, it naturally caused quite a stir again.
Zhou Yu was already accustomed to such situations. As usual, he let Ma Kun and the others deal with those who came to inquire and present rewards, while he silently left alone.
Just as Zhou Yu walked out of the City Defense Hall, a cheerful voice greeted him.
"Zhou Yu!"
"Back from your mission?"
Zhou Yu looked up and immediately showed a respectful expression.
"Protector Zhao!"
This person was none other than the Silver Armor Protector, Zhao Wu.
Over the years, as Zhou Yu’s reputation grew, Zhao Wu took even better care of him.
After all, such a promising young talent, and one who came from a low-level plane, naturally needed to be cultivated and drawn closer.
"How was the situation on this mission?"
"I heard you went to the Black Demon Mountain Range. It’s not very peaceful there now."
Zhou Yu smiled:
"Not bad, everything went smoothly."
"Incidentally, I captured a skilled individual from the Phantom Clan."
Hearing this, Zhao Wu’s eyes lit up.
"Good, very good."
"We don’t know much about the Phantom Clan. With this person, the higher-ups will find a way to make him talk."
"Zhou Yu, this is quite an achievement."
Zhou Yu smiled modestly.
"It’s what I should do."
Zhao Wu stepped forward, patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, and said:
"By the way, Zhou Yu, the day after tomorrow, Elder Xing from Fengyuan City’s Elder Council is holding a seminar for his Direct Disciple, teaching artifact refining."
"If you’re interested, I can help you get a spot."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes immediately brightened.
By now, he was quite familiar with the upper echelons of Fengyuan City.
Elder Xing, mentioned by Zhao Wu, was a renowned Artifact Refining Master not only in Fengyuan City but among the entire Human Race.
He had once crafted Magic Treasures on par with the Primordial Ancient Treasure level.
Over the past ten years, while Zhou Yu had been diligently cultivating the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique, he had also begun preparing to craft a Magic Treasure using those three Simurgh Feathers.
Given his level in artifact refining, he could forge a Magic Treasure, but the quality would certainly not be high.
If he could personally receive guidance from Elder Xing, it would undoubtedly be immensely helpful in refining the Magic Treasure.
Zhou Yu immediately said:
"Protector Zhao, this junior has recently been delving into artifact refining and has many confusions."
"It would be a great honor to hear Elder Xing’s guidance in person."
Zhao Wu chuckled.
"That’s good."
"Don’t worry about the spot; I’ll arrange it and send someone to deliver it to you. Just be there on time."
"Thank you, Senior Zhao!"
After watching Zhao Wu leave, Zhou Yu headed towards the center of the city.
Today was the day he had agreed to meet with that Demon Clan woman.
Soon, Zhou Yu arrived at the Han Yue Restaurant.
After entering the restaurant, Zhou Yu, familiar with the place, went directly to Room Number Five.
Sure enough, the Demon Clan woman was already waiting inside.
After their successful transaction last time, they had unknowingly built a certain trust.
Seeing Zhou Yu arrive, the woman smiled and gestured for him to sit down.
"Alright, let’s trade first."
With that, the woman straightforwardly placed a Storage Ring in front of Zhou Yu.
"I’ve spent ten years without a day’s rest gathering the items you wanted."
The woman looked at Zhou Yu, with a slightly plaintive tone.
Zhou Yu’s expression remained calm as he said indifferently:
"Let me take a look first."
With that, Zhou Yu picked up the Storage Ring and began inspecting it.
Seeing Zhou Yu’s reaction, the woman shrugged and said nothing.
After a round of inspection, Zhou Yu once again showed a look of surprise.
Unexpectedly, in just ten years, the woman had indeed gathered everything he needed.
It included the essence blood of ten Integration Realm Demon Clan members and three from the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
This was no small feat.
Especially for high-rank Demons, the loss of essence blood was extremely troublesome.
It seemed the woman’s background was far more formidable than he had imagined.
After the inspection, Zhou Yu did not hesitate.
He took out five Jade Boxes.
Upon seeing the five Jade Boxes, the woman’s eyes instantly showed a fervent glow.
She immediately took the Jade Boxes and opened them one by one.
Inside lay five Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicines, and for a moment, the rich fragrance of the spirit medicine filled the entire room.
After confirming there were no issues, the woman looked at Zhou Yu.
"You truly amaze me, my friend."
"Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicines are rare treasures throughout the Heavenly Origin World. I can’t believe you prepared them all in just ten years."
The woman’s eyes sparkled with an unusual excitement.
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"If there’s no issue, let’s complete the transaction."
The woman nodded.
"Of course!"
Then, both of them put away their items.
Afterward, the woman took a deep breath and said:
"For our next transaction, I hope it will still be..."
However, before she could finish, Zhou Yu interrupted.
"I’m sorry, this will be our last transaction!"
Upon hearing this, the woman was momentarily stunned.
"Why?"
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"Outside Fengyuan City, the Five Races Alliance is stirring. I assume you’re aware."
Upon hearing this, the woman’s expression turned grim, and she nodded.
"This matter has also caused quite a stir within our Demon Clan."
"It seems the Human Race is the same."
"But what does this have to do with small figures like you and me?"
The woman looked at Zhou Yu, puzzled.
Zhou Yu did not explain in detail, only saying indifferently:
"With the winds of war rising, no one can guarantee safety. If we both survive, we can continue our trades."
After saying that, Zhou Yu stood up and left.
Watching Zhou Yu’s departing figure, the woman showed a conflicted expression. In the end, she sighed and took no action.
After leaving the Han Yue Restaurant, Zhou Yu quietly sensed his surroundings.
Discovering that the woman made no move, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and left at ease.
This time, Zhou Yu had collected everything needed for cultivating the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique to the Fifth Layer, as well as materials for the Melt God Pill.
Thanks to these materials, his future cultivation, at least in terms of resources, posed no problem.
In case a major war truly erupted, he could even retreat to some wilderness and still support his cultivation to the Void Refinement Realm.
Zhou Yu wandered around the city and noticed that the atmosphere had become much more solemn compared to when he first arrived at Fengyuan City. Even the markets in the city began exchanging high-rank materials from both the Human and Demon Clans in large quantities.
This was something rarely seen before.
However, due to the trades with that woman, the materials in the market no longer interested Zhou Yu.
After wandering around, Zhou Yu returned to the City Defense Headquarters.
As soon as he stepped through the door, a young man hurriedly approached him.
"Captain Zhou, good day. Protector Zhao Wu requested me to deliver Elder Xing’s token to you."
"He also asked me to convey that you must be punctual."
Zhou Yu received the item and nodded.
"Thank you, I understand."
After sending the young man away, Zhou Yu opened the token and glanced at it, then a profound look appeared in his eyes...
