Upon hearing the words of the elegant young man, the Master of Tianji Workshop was first startled, then secretly delighted.
He knew that Young Master Yu was dissatisfied with the Treasure Pavilion.
If this person intervenes, the current predicament faced by Tianji Workshop will likely be resolved immediately.
However, he still cautiously said, "Young Master Yu, the owner of that Treasure Pavilion is said to have a very unusual background. She is a concubine of a certain important figure in the Upper Realm."
There are also rules in Canglan City: commercial competition is allowed between businesses, but violent fights are not permitted.
Furthermore, the owner of that treasure pavilion also had a close relationship with the city lord.
So although this Treasure Pavilion breaks the rules, with the city lord keeping it in check, none of us can do anything about it.
"A concubine of some important figure in the upper realm?"
The elegant young man paused slightly, then turned to look at one of the elderly men behind him.
“Young master, the owner of that Treasure Pavilion is named Mo Hongyun,” the old man replied.
"People of the Mohist school?"
The young man was somewhat surprised.
In the Upper Realm, although the Mohist school was far inferior to the Gongshu school, it was still quite famous.
There is an ancestor in the clan who is said to have reached the perfect state of the third tribulation of the primordial spirit.
If one can comprehend even a trace of the secrets of space in the future, it is not impossible to reach the fourth tribulation of the primordial spirit realm.
but......
"When did the Mo family become so audacious that they dare to steal our Gongshu family's business?"
“Normal members of the Mo family would naturally not dare to provoke the Gongshu family.”
However, Tianji Workshop was ultimately just the lady's private property, and the name of our Gongshu family was not publicly displayed.
It's normal for these commoners in the lower realms not to know fear.
Moreover, it is said that the dark red hue was favored by a Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect.
Once he reaches the peak of the Golden Core realm, he will take her as a concubine, so it's normal for him to be a bit crazy.
"She's been chosen by a Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect?" The elegant young man was genuinely surprised. "Then why is she still here in the lower realm?"
"There are rumors that she reached some kind of agreement with the Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect, granting her fifty years of freedom. After the term expires, she will willingly go to the Hehuan Sect," the old man explained.
"So that's how it is. No wonder she's so unscrupulous. It seems this woman's bloodline is somewhat special, otherwise the Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect wouldn't have agreed to such conditions."
The elegant young man nodded, suddenly realizing what he meant.
Those standing nearby, including the Master of Heavenly Mystery Workshop, felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.
It turns out that the owner of the Treasure Pavilion really did have a very deep connection with a certain important figure in the upper realm.
"This old servant thinks so too. The Hehuan Sect has always been domineering. If Mo Hongyun had nothing special, she would probably have been sent to the Hehuan Sect long ago. How could she have the right to negotiate?"
"Hmph, so what if it's the Hehuan Sect? Do you think our Gongshu family is afraid of them?"
Since it dares to extend its claws like this, I'll chop it off.
She's just a lowly concubine of a Supreme Elder, yet she dares to be so presumptuous.
Even if her powerful backer came in person, he wouldn't dare to show off in front of our Gongshu family.
"Uncle Xing, bring her to me now. I want to see what kind of vile woman dares to steal our Gongshu family's spirit stones!"
The elegant young man snorted coldly and spoke directly to the old servant behind him.
"Young Master, you mustn't!" However, another old man hurriedly dissuaded him, "Taking down Mo Hongyun may be easy, but the city lord of Canglan City will definitely not stand idly by. He is a member of the Nangong family."
"The Nangong family?" The elegant young man frowned.
The relationship between the Gongshu family and the Nangong family can hardly be described as friendly.
"Indeed, this person is from the 'Yuan' generation of the Nangong family, and his cultivation level is also at the Yuan Shen realm."
In addition, there is the great formation that controls Canglan City.
If he really tries to stop us, even if Senior Xing and I join forces, we might not be able to do anything to him.
Upon hearing this, the wealthy young man fell silent.
If that's the case, then it really will be quite difficult to handle.
“Young Master Yu, there’s no need to be troubled. This old servant has a plan that will allow us to openly attack the Treasure Pavilion, and even the city lord will not be able to stop us.”
Just then, the Master of Tianji Workshop seized the opportunity and spoke.
"Oh, you have a plan? Tell me about it. If it's feasible, I might consider pardoning you for this mismanagement."
The elegant young man looked over.
Master Tianji was overjoyed; these were the words he had been waiting for.
"That's right, this old servant has already made arrangements in the Treasure Pavilion in advance, and sent in an array plate that seals demonic energy."
Once that demonic energy erupts, even the city lord will not be able to protect those who harbor demonic cultivators in the Treasure Pavilion...
After the Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion explained his arrangements, the noble young man's face lit up with joy.
He clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, this plan is excellent. Eliminating evil is a noble cause that everyone can do. Even the Nangong family would not dare to openly protect the demons."
"Alright, let's do as you say. I also want to see as soon as possible what's so special about a woman who has caught the eye of the Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect."
"Then this old servant will make the arrangements immediately!"
Eager to atone for his sins, Master Tianji dared not delay and immediately went down to make arrangements himself.
Before long, a mysterious figure emerged from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Upon arriving at the street where the Treasure Pavilion was located, his aura changed, and his appearance transformed into that of an ordinary cultivator. He pretended to be an ordinary customer and entered the Treasure Pavilion.
Not long after, Master Qiu in the cave had a slight thought and took out a communication jade talisman.
Upon seeing the information above, he was deeply shaken, and a surge of joy welled up within him.
Fortunately, he was quite shrewd and suppressed his joy, not revealing it.
He said calmly, "Stone, go outside and get something from someone for me."
"Yes, Master."
The disciple named Stone respectfully responded and left the cave.
Although Master Qiu was punished by the Treasure Pavilion Master and had to spend a month in seclusion in his cave, his disciples were not punished and could still come and go freely.
Soon, Stone returned from outside and handed a storage bag to his master.
"Master, this is what the person you mentioned gave me."
"Okay, you can go now."
Master Qiu took the items and waved his hand.
After his disciple left, he couldn't wait to break the small restriction on the storage bag and probe inside with his divine soul power.
The next moment, upon sensing the small pile of spirit stones rich in spiritual energy in his storage bag, the look of ecstatic joy on his face could no longer be suppressed and surfaced.
"A thousand mid-grade spirit stones, just like that, I've got them!"
Master Qiu's hand holding the storage bag trembled slightly.
He had worked diligently in the Treasure Pavilion for so many years, and the number of spirit stones he had accumulated was far less than this.
Unexpectedly, just one opportunity allowed him to earn such a huge sum of money.
Just as Master Qiu was overjoyed, the special communication talisman in his hand emitted another fluctuation.
He checked it and his expression immediately changed.
"Why the rush to act immediately?"
Master Qiu hesitated.
According to the agreement between the two parties, they wanted to take action only after everything was properly arranged.
But now the other side wants to take action immediately?
He hasn't even made arrangements for his escape route yet.
Because he knew that after this incident, he definitely could no longer stay at the Treasure Pavilion, and even Canglan City would no longer be a place for him to linger.
So according to his original plan, he wanted to wait until he had a way out before taking action.
After hesitating for a moment, Master Qiu looked at the storage bag containing spirit stones in his hand, and a resolute look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
That's a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. If he misses this opportunity, he probably won't have another chance to earn so many spirit stones.
On the contrary, with these spirit stones, he would have enough capital to go to the Upper Realm and buy the elixir for refining the Golden Core.
Perhaps in the future, there will be a sliver of a chance to achieve a superior Golden Core, break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, or even unravel the secrets of the Primordial Spirit.
With this in mind, Master Qiu immediately had no more hesitation.
After putting everything away, he left the quiet room and headed towards the entrance of the cave.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
"Master, where are you going? Didn't the sect leader say that you are not allowed to leave the cave for a month?"
Upon seeing this, a disciple immediately offered a reminder.
"What, do you need to ask me where I'm going?"
Master Qiu's face darkened.
"This disciple dares not."
The disciple who had asked the question immediately fell silent and dared not ask any more questions.
Seeing this, the other disciples dared not speak, and watched helplessly as their master left the cave.
After leaving the cave, Master Qiu did not linger. He immediately used a technique to conceal his aura and quickly headed towards Lu Qing's cave.
As a powerful cultivator at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, Master Qiu's method of concealing his breath was naturally extraordinary.
The maids and the like he occasionally encountered along the way were completely unaware of his whereabouts.
Of course, this is also because Treasure House has been doing very well lately.
The attention of most people in the building was focused on the front hall, which gave Master Qiu an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Soon, Master Qiu found a secluded corner near Lu Qing's cave.
Looking at the cave dwelling in front of him, which was clearly much better than his own, Master Qiu's face showed a look of jealousy and resentment.
The cave dwelling where Lu Qing lived was a primordial spirit level cave dwelling, a level higher than his own.
This should have been his, but unexpectedly, it was snatched away by some wild kid who appeared out of nowhere.
"Kid, blame yourself for being too flamboyant and not knowing how to restrain yourself."
Do you think you can easily jeopardize the interests of so many powerful factions in the city?
"You brought this upon yourself; you have only yourself to blame!"
Master Qiu thought venomously to himself, then took out a black array plate from his storage bag.
The array plate is sealed by a powerful restriction, which can only be activated and broken by a Golden Core cultivator who is proficient in rune arrays.
This is why Tianjifang went to such great lengths to bribe Master Qiu.
Besides the fact that Master Qiu is from the Treasure Pavilion, which gives them a better reason to take action.
Furthermore, ordinary cultivators simply cannot break the restrictions and seals on the array plate.
However, sending a Golden Core Realm array master to infiltrate the Treasure Pavilion was far too difficult, so they could only temporarily tolerate Master Qiu's greed.
Master Qiu followed the incantation to break the restriction provided by the person who had given him the array plate.
Slowly, the restrictions on the black array plate were gradually lifted.
As the layers of restrictions were lifted one by one, he gradually felt a sense of unease.
"What exactly is sealed within this array?"
Master Qiu's eyes showed horror.
He could sense a terrifying aura emanating from the array plate, as if it were about to devour him whole.
"This is definitely something related to beings above the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Master Qiu suddenly realized that he was holding an extremely hot potato.
If he is not careful, he could very well end up in trouble himself.
But having come this far, there was no way he could back down now.
They had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue dismantling the restrictions.
However, he dared not hold the object in his hands anymore. He simply let it float in the air and quickly formed hand seals, which then disappeared into the array plate.
Although this might attract the attention of others due to the fluctuations in his magical power, he couldn't care less.
Because he could sense that what was inside the array was terrifying.
If it were to erupt, it would surely cause great chaos.
By then, even if he is discovered, the Treasure Pavilion will probably be too preoccupied to care about him anymore.
As Master Qiu accelerated the formation of the hand seals, the speed at which the restrictions were broken also increased.
Soon, only the last few floors remained.
As expected, the fluctuations in his magical power as he formed hand seals attracted the attention of the nearby guards.
"Master Qiu, you've emerged from seclusion?"
When the guards came to investigate, they were shocked by what they saw.
Wasn't Master Qiu punished by the Lord and forced to reflect on his mistakes in his cave? How come he's here?
To the guard's even greater surprise, he saw a black array plate floating in front of Master Qiu, emitting waves of twisted and eerie light.
"Master Qiu, what are you doing?!"
The guards, realizing something was wrong, immediately questioned him.
However, Master Qiu ignored his words and instead formed hand seals even faster.
Without further hesitation, the guard activated his magic sword, unleashing streaks of sword light that attacked Master Qiu.
He himself was retreating rapidly, while taking out a bell-shaped magical artifact and shaking it vigorously.
Master Qiu is a powerful cultivator at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage. Even if he is not good at fighting, he is not someone that a mere low-grade Golden Core cultivator at the first level can deal with.
Therefore, rushing forward rashly will only result in losing your life.
The best course of action is to wait for the other guards to arrive so that they can work together.
Sure enough, the guard saw that the sword light he had unleashed was about to strike Master Qiu.
Suddenly, bursts of magical light emanated from the robes he wore, completely blocking his sword light and preventing it from harming him in the slightest.
And at that moment, as the magic bell in his hand rang.
He also saw it; Master Qiu's hands, which had been rapidly forming hand seals, suddenly paused.
Then, with a ferocious expression, he forcefully pushed forward the black array plate that was floating in front of him, emitting an eerie black light.
The direction it was heading was the cave dwelling of Master Lu, the chief talisman maker!
As the black array disc flew, the black light that appeared on it gradually expanded, turning into a sphere.
Upon arriving at Master Lu's cave, a loud bang was heard, and the entire array plate suddenly shattered.
The next moment, a huge black light shot into the sky, radiating a terrifying aura of power.
