Chapter 420 - 228: Seven Years Later, Profound Immortal Seeks Help_2
Continuing.
‘Yuan Shun’ left silently that day, appearing extremely mysterious.
As for all of this, Xuandan Sect didn’t seal off the news, allowing the fact that
Yuan Shun had returned to the sect to spread naturally.
To maintain the mystery, Yuan Shun only appeared once.
This was also the main reason why Han Yi’s Disguise Technique had broken through to the [Return to the Truth] level, as it happened to be needed in this matter.
Turning back.
Han Yi entered the Xuandan Hall where four Supreme Elders were already
present.
Zhuge Wu You, Lian Tingxi, Shen Ping, and Zhu Siyuan.
As for the other three, Qin Wuxian and Si Hongxue were out secretly searching for Yuan Shun, and Huo Ming was sent to Qian Du to replace Qin Wuxian and sit in the Profound Immortal Pavilion.
Compared to seven years ago, Zhuge Wu You’s injuries had almost recovered, and the Soul-locking Powder in his body had been completely removed not long ago. His Spirit Sea and Sea of Consciousness had been reopened, but during the seven years, his cultivation base had regressed a little. It is expected to take another two or three years for his strength to completely recover.
Speaking of that.
In the Xuandan Sect today, the highest strength, the highest realm, belongs to Qin Wuxian. However, the second-highest strength is not Si Hongxue, who is at the middle Golden Core stage, but Han Yi, who is at the early Golden Core stage.
When Han Yi entered the Great Hall, he saw the serious expressions on the faces of the four Elders. Before he could speak, Zhuge Wu You had already begun.
“Brother Huo Ming has gone missing.”
Han Yi’s heart jumped: “Missing?”
“Yes.” Zhuge Wu You nodded, “Liu Ruyan sent a message that three months ago, Brother Huo Ming left and never returned.”
“Although three months is not considered long, there happened to be a large deal in the Profound Immortal Pavilion that required Brother Huo Ming’s presence. Since Liu Ruyan couldn’t contact Brother Huo Ming, she had to send a message to the sect, asking for help.”
“Junior Brother Han, we need you to take a trip. After finishing the deal, you can secretly investigate Brother Huo Ming’s whereabouts. I just checked, and his Soul Tablet has not yet shattered. There might be some important matter that caused the delay.”
When saying this, Zhuge Wu You’s face did not improve, still looking heavy.
A Soul Tablet not shattering does not prove that Huo Ming had not encountered danger.
In a place like Daqian Immortal City, powerhouses gather, even a few Spirit Transformation experts are present, let alone Nascent Soul and Golden Core. Not even a True Monarch could guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen, let alone an early-stage Golden Core cultivator.
Han Yi nodded without giving it much thought.
“We must act quickly, so I’ll leave immediately.”
Han Yi had nothing to pack, so he took off and released the Red Moon Immortal Boat. Then, he headed in the direction of Qian Du.
Less than a month later.
Far away, a majestic and lofty Immortal City lay across the earth, with no end in sight.
Daqian Immortal City.
Qian Du.
This was Han Yi’s third time in Qian Du. The first time, he was brought by Master Tian Xin to attend Daqian Emperor’s 2000th birthday. The second time, he sat in the Profound Immortal Pavilion.
This time, Han Yi was still disguised, as it had become his habit when traveling in the Cultivation World.
Through the Immortal Ship Channel, he passed the Ninth Immortal Court and entered the Eighth Immortal Court. After arriving at Nanliang Fang, Han Yi put away the Immortal Boat and entered the Profound Immortal Pavilion.
Profound Immortal Pavilion, Fourth Floor.
When Han Yi met Liu Ruyan again, the former senior sister’s attitude towards him had become much more respectful. However, Han Yi didn’t care much for such formalities. He was more easy-going than Si Hongxue in this regard.
“Senior Sister Liu, tell me, did anything unusual happen before Brother Huo Ming’s departure?” Han Yi asked.
Liu Ruyan shook her head.
“That day, there was nothing unusual about Elder Brother Huo Ming’s departure. Everything was the same as usual.”
Han Yi nodded, already understanding the situation from the information Liu Ruyan had sent back to the sect. He just wanted to confirm it again.
“By the way, there is a big deal in the Pavilion that requires the presence of a True Monarch from our Sect. What kind of deal is it?” Han Yi asked again.
With that, Liu Ruyan’s face turned serious, but joy could hardly be hidden.
“A big deal.”
“An extremely large deal.”
“The buyer is a Golden Core Cultivating family from Daqian, called the Yu family. They are purchasing a lot of items and have high-quality requirements. This deal is very generous, worth ten years of Xuandan Sect’s business.
“Moreover, many spirit items and treasures are involved. We’re afraid we can’t handle it, so we have to ask the sect to send a Supreme Elder.”
As she spoke, Liu Ruyan handed a list to Han Yi. When Han Yi saw it, his heart jumped.
Third-stage high-quality Spiritual Talismans, Silver Sky Talismans, ten of them.
Third-stage mid-quality Spiritual Talismans, Six Spiritual Beings Fallen Immortal Talismans, thirty of them.
Third-stage low-quality Spiritual Talismans, Tri-Spirit Falling Immortal Talismans, fifty of them.
Medium-grade magic treasures, Heaven Mirror, three of them.
The full list contained third-stage Spiritual Talismans and higher, as well as third-stage formations, Flawless Elixirs, etc. Moreover, the quantity made Han Yi’s heart tremble.
Han Yi looked up at Liu Ruyan and asked uncertainly: “Is there any problem with this list?”
Liu Ruyan nodded heavily.
“Of course not.”
“The total amount on this list is 537,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. The buyer has already paid 80% of the payment, and even without the final payment, we won’t be at a loss.”
Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows furrowed immediately afterward.
“Have you done any business with them before?”
Liu Ruyan nodded again: “We have, but that was many years ago, and there wasn’t much business done back then. None of them even came close to a ten-thousandth of this deal..”
