NOVPUBEven if chance permitted and one acquired a Divine Seed, there was a possibility of becoming a Martial Saint!
Such beings stood at the very pinnacle of the Great Flame Empire! Profound and inscrutable, beyond the ken of outsiders!
Returning to the Spirit Taoist Sect, all was as calm as ever.
"I should visit Cangyun Pavilion to see how that high-tier Spirit Pill I commissioned from Tang Ming is coming along."
Three days later, Su Changkong decided to make a trip to Feiyun City.
High-tier Spirit Pills could only be concocted by Alchemy Masters within Cangyun Sect, and even the sect’s own Innate Martial Artists might not readily enjoy such a luxury, let alone outsiders!
Su Changkong wanted to purchase high-tier Spirit Pills for his own research, although he felt that deducing the Pill Recipe from the pill was an enormous challenge, he had to give it a try.
In Feiyun City, Su Changkong disguised himself as the cold and solitary swordsman ’Dao Wufeng’ and appeared outside Cangyun Pavilion.
"Senior Blade, please come inside!"
The disciples of Cangyun Pavilion, upon seeing Su Changkong, invited him inside with respect and enthusiasm.
In a VIP room on the second floor of Cangyun Pavilion, Su Changkong waited briefly before footsteps approached from outside—it was Tang Ming who had arrived.
"Hmm?"
But Su Changkong frowned slightly, as it was not just Tang Ming who arrived; there was the sound of another person’s footsteps as well.
Soon, Tang Ming and the unknown person entered the Cangyun Pavilion.
It was a man in his thirties, dressed in white, with an elegant and detached demeanor, yet his brows carried the authority of someone who held a high position.
Tang Ming seemed very respectful beside the man in white, suggesting that this person’s identity was far from ordinary.
Su Changkong sat expressionless in his seat, neither rising nor speaking.
Tang Ming hurriedly said, "Brother Blade, this is our Cangyun Sect’s Sect Leader Cangwen Yu."
Su Changkong was inwardly startled; he knew the man in white was somebody important, but he hadn’t expected him to be the Sect Leader of Cangyun Sect!
Cangwen Yu, as the sect master of a first-rate Warrior Sect, was not someone that Helian Yuan could compare with, and even the previously mentioned Dong Yunkuang couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath.
Cangyun Sect, with its long heritage and deep roots, occupied Cangyun Mountain, rich in Spiritual Energy, and as its Sect Leader, Cangwen Yu was a highly respected master throughout Central State!
The man’s presence here clearly meant he was waiting for him.
"Tang Ming, you may leave," the man in white, Cangwen Yu, instructed Tang Ming.
"Yes." Tang Ming replied respectfully, exited the room, and closed the door behind him.
Cangwen Yu took a seat opposite Su Changkong and spoke gently, "I am Cangwen Yu. I have long wished to meet Brother Blade, and today I finally found the time."
Cangwen Yu observed Su Changkong with surprise in his heart: "This Dao Wufeng has not a whiff of aura leaking from him... supremely self-contained, yet like a sheathed treasured blade, an extraordinary expert for sure!"
Having reached the 10th tier of the Turtle Breath Technique, Su Changkong could conceal his aura. Unless he took action or revealed himself, not even the most perceptive Demon Monster could probe his depths!
Cangwen Yu couldn’t discern Su Changkong’s true capabilities, but his intuition as a master made him certain that Su Changkong was an exceptional expert, perhaps one at least on par with himself!
"I have met Sect Leader Cang. Do you wish to see me for some matter?"
Su Changkong asked, looking at Cangwen Yu calmly.
He knew well that a person like Cangwen Yu could have met with him sooner if he wished; his presence in Cangyun Pavilion meant he definitely had a matter to discuss.
"I heard from Tang Ming that you’re collecting Pill Recipes for high-tier Spirit Pills?"
Cangwen Yu changed the topic abruptly.
This caught Su Changkong’s attention; he had been acquiring Pill Recipes for Spirit Pills suitable for a Martial Artist in the Earth Flower Realm to break through to the Sky Flower Realm. Tang Ming had gently refused outright, saying no one would sell them, which was indeed the reality. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Even if Su Changkong was willing to pay a huge amount of Innate Qi, Cangyun Sect wouldn’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs by selling their sect’s Pill Recipe.
But now, Cangwen Yu was bringing it up himself, which clearly indicated that things might take a turn.
"Hmm."
Yet, Su Changkong just nodded coolly. He knew that the more eager he seemed, the more likely he was to be leveraged.
Unperturbed, Cangwen Yu eagerly said, "Brother Blade, it’s hard to buy the recipe for a high-tier Spirit Pill with money alone. However, there’s now an opportunity to earn the recipe for a high-tier Spirit Pill..."
"Sect Leader Cang, you might as well speak plainly. The Pill Recipe for a high-tier Spirit Pill is incredibly precious; what is it that I must offer in order to acquire it?"
Su Changkong cut straight to the point, fully aware that the Pill Recipe for the high-tier Spirit Pill would not come easy.
Cangwen Yu became serious, "Then I won’t beat around the bush. A friend of mine needs to assemble some experts to eradicate a band of thieves. If Brother Blade agrees to join, my friend would be willing to hand over the Pill Recipe for a high-tier Spirit Pill with both hands!"
"Eradicate a band of thieves? What exactly is their power?" Su Changkong asked, frowning.
The friend Cangwen Yu spoke of, who could offer a high-tier Pill Recipe, was clearly no ordinary person, and the so-called band of thieves they wanted to eradicate was undoubtedly very troublesome!
Cangwen Yu knew that to get Su Changkong’s participation, he would have to disclose some information.
"Life Extinguishing Association," Cangwen Yu slowly uttered three words.
"Life Extinguishing Association?" Su Changkong also felt a jolt of surprise in his heart.
He was, of course, familiar with the Life Extinguishing Association—among the most notorious Monster Warrior forces in the Great Flame Empire, with whom Su Changkong had previous grievances due to an encounter at the Chi Dragon Hall.
Not long ago, Su Changkong had even visited a branch of the Life Extinguishing Association because of old grudges and the desire to know about Hong Zhenxiang’s situation, slaying Monster Warriors like Wind Sun Moon in the process.
