Chapter 381: Myriad Treasure Pavilion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the most prosperous palace in the central city of Ping City.
Above this palace, clouds gathered into a very striking name.
“Myriad Treasure Pavilion.”
This majestic palace that corresponded to the City Lord Manor was the latest territory built by the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
The Myriad Treasure Pavilion was getting bigger and bigger. Although the pavilion in the past was considered wide, it could no longer satisfy the business needs of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
Under Li Yuanqing’s instructions, Zhao Tai’an hired the most outstanding construction talent in Ping City to build such a huge palace. Moreover, the facilities here were very complete.
Entering the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was like entering a vast city. There were lively shops on both sides of the street.
The shops on the same street were all different. Anyone who entered the Myriad Treasure Pavilion from any direction could enjoy the same service.
Moreover, the goods here all came from the same treasure vault. The communication of information was also very timely, guaranteeing that no matter where in this huge palace, one could enjoy the same treatment.
When this was first established, Zhao Tai’an was still very considerate about these things.
In fact, the core array formation here was personally designed by Little Man.
Little Man was already a very top-notch array master. With such a master-level figure working on the core array formation, there would naturally be many array masters swarming over behind her. They were very willing to help the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
In the core area of this huge palace, outsiders were forbidden to enter. There was a very tall tower here.
On the tower, Li Yuanqing was sitting naked on the ground in a magnificent room with a very wide view.
Under him, a huge array formation enveloped the entire floor.
Under the cover of this array formation, the concentration of spiritual energy was dozens of times higher than the outside world. The dense spiritual energy gathered in the room and distorted the light coming in from outside. From here, the entire world was flowing slowly like a river.
Li Yuanqing’s eyes were tightly shut, and his body was emitting a red light. Hot air was constantly forced out of his body.
A very dense spiritual energy kept pouring into his body like a waterfall above his head.
Li Yuanqing frowned and gritted his teeth.
As the water flow of the small waterfall above his head gradually weakened, Li Yuanqing’s body also turned red. His entire body was as red as a cooked prawn.
The heat spread even more crazily and gradually drowned his body, slowly disappearing.
A powerful tremor swept in all directions, centered on the tower.
Everyone in Ping City seemed to feel a strange fluctuation. The ground under their feet seemed to tremble slightly. They stopped strangely and looked in the direction of the tower. However, it was so calm, as if everything that had just happened was their imagination.
“Congratulations, Master! Congratulations!”
The white fog gradually dissipated, revealing Little Man. She knelt on one knee and looked happily at the empty s.p.a.ce in the center of the house.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the person revealed was Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing had already dispersed his cultivation and was looking ahead with bright eyes. The aura on his body had increased significantly compared to before.
“Is this the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm?”
Li Yunqing looked at his hands in fascination. He could not help but be mesmerized by the rich power.
The reason why it was called the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm was to cross another threshold above the ninth-grade and materialize his divine sense.
As the power of his divine sense increased, his control over his spiritual energy became even finer. In addition, a huge amount of power was injected into his body, and the spiritual energy in his body increased exponentially.
All of this created the legendary existence at the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm. He could move mountains and fill seas with a single move, destroying a city.
Li Yuanqing slowly stood up and smiled at the Man-eating Vine.
“Little Man, your attainments in array formations are getting more and more mature. The effect of this spirit gathering array on spiritual energy is very obvious. It helped a lot this time.”
The Man-eating Vine lowered her head happily and said shyly, “Master, you flatter me. It’s all because of your careful nurturing that I can be where I am today. My attainments in array formations are far inferior to yours.”
Li Yuanqing raised his hand to help her up and shook his head with a smile. “Little Man, you’re really familiar with this bootlicking technique. How can you remember these things so clearly when you haven’t learned the good things of the human race?”
Little Man blushed and stuck out her tongue. “Master, are you angry?”
“What do you think?”
“I think Master is quite happy.”
“Of course. I’ll definitely be happy to see you improve so quickly.”
“As long as Master is happy, Little Man will be happy too.”
Li Yuanqing knocked Little Man’s head. “I wonder who you learned these words from.”
“Of course I learned it from Sister. Sister taught me a lot.”
Li Yuanqing did not mention Hu Jiujiu. Fortunately, as soon as she mentioned Hu Jiujiu, he immediately grabbed Little Man and said, “One of you sisters is engrossed in the study of array formations, and the other is busy with those trivial matters every day. You’ve forgotten about cultivation. After all, cultivators still focus on cultivation. At your speed, when will you reach the Formation Arrangement Realm?”
Little Man’s face was as ugly as a bitter gourd. “Master, the two of us don’t have such strong talent like you. How can we reach the Formation Arrangement Realm so easily?”
“Then what will you do in the future if you miss the best opportunity to break through like this?”
“Master, don’t talk about me. Tell Sister these things. I’m doing something for her.”
Hu Jiujiu had originally wanted to report the situation to Li Yuanqing today. However, something had happened at the City Lord Manor. Hu Jiujiu could not help but personally interfere.
“Young Master, can I come in?”
Zhao Tai’an’s voice came from outside.
“Come in. It doesn’t matter.”
Zhao Tai’an slowly pushed the door open and left. He came in and looked at Li Yuanqing in the room with a happy smile on his face. He was even hugging a mysterious long black box.
This black box was very narrow and usually three feet long, only as wide as a palm.
“Young Master, I sensed something down there just now. I believe that you have made another breakthrough. It’s really worth celebrating.”
“Shopkeeper Zhao is busy with the business of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. You have to pay attention to your cultivation level.”
Zhao Tai’an placed the box on a small table at the side and looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile. “Young Master, what are you saying? My improvement speed is already much faster than it was decades ago. If not for you promoting me, how would I have so many cultivation resources? I’m already very satisfied with this speed.”
“The cultivation environment in the Demon Realm is much better than before. There are not many restrictions. It’s time for you to fight to break through. You can’t be so lazy.”
Zhao Tai’an’s eyes widened as he looked at Li Yuanqing and said, “Young Master, you say so too, right? I was talking to the other shopkeepers here a few days ago. We said that the environment is much better than before.”
“Therefore, Shopkeeper Zhao, you should seize this opportunity and try again while you’re still young.”
Zhao Tai’an nodded and thought for a moment. He did not know if he still had the guts to continue breaking through.
He patted the black box under his hand and said to Li Yuanqing, “Young Master, this is a sword refined by Master Bai Hun with great effort. Its name is Waning Moon.”
“Bai Hun, did he read the atlas I gave him a few days ago?”
Zhao Tai’an could not hide his smile and reported proudly, “Young Master, Master Bai Hun is full of praise for your weapon refinement atlas. He holds it in his arms every day, afraid that anything would go wrong with it. It was also because of this atlas that Master Bai Hun’s weapon refinement technique had improved to the next level. That’s why he specially spent a lot of effort to create such a Waning Moon Sword for you.”
Li Yuanqing casually waved his hand and the sword appeared in his hand.
It was a silver-white sword. The blade was very cold, as if there was a stream of light slowly circulating on the sword’s body. From different directions, the direction of the light was very different.
With a light perception, one could feel the power flowing in the sword’s body restless, as if it yearned for a powerful master to open it.
The hilt was carved from the top-grade Primordial Jade.
Not only did he vividly unleash the power of the jade, but he also embedded the natural patterns of the jade into the array formation, making the entire array formation even more natural and effective.
If it were the previous Bai Hun, he probably would not have thought of this move. However, after looking at the atlas, Bai Hun’s understanding of refining had already reached a new level.
This Waning Moon Sword was also his masterpiece.
“Good sword!”
It just so happened that Li Yuanqing did not have a suitable sword after his Demon Slayer Sword was melted last time. This carefully carved weapon was suitable for him.
Zhao Tai’an heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yuanqing liked it.
“Master Bai Hun was still worried that Young Master wouldn’t like it. I told him that Young Master would definitely not miss this kind of treasure. There’s no reason not to like it.”
Li Yuanqing held the sword in his hand and played with it carefully. He slowly poured his power into it, and the sword buzzed and vibrated with his spiritual energy.
This feeling of being one with the world was indeed something that could only be reflected by higher-level refinement techniques. This Bai Hun was a smart person to be able to improve so much with just a little transformation.
“Bai Hun said that this sword was completely forged according to the technique of becoming one with the weapon taught by Young Master. It also completed one of his short-term goals.” Zhao Tai’an smiled happily and suddenly added, “Young Master, you don’t know this, but not only did this sword achieve itself, but it also helped Master Bai Hun. After Master Bai Hun forged this sword, he comprehended his bottleneck and immediately entered seclusion. I believe it won’t be long before he can leave his seclusion.”
“This is really a beautiful thing.”
Li Yuanqing put the sword away. However, he would never take something from others for nothing.
“The materials used to make this sword are extraordinary. I believe he must have put in a lot of effort. I’ll pay for all the materials and pay him ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones.”
Zhao Tai’an was even happier when Li Yuanqing said that. He looked at Li Yuanqing proudly and said, “Young Master, you’re kind-hearted and definitely don’t want the people below to suffer. I’ve long calculated this. Therefore, all the materials used to forge this sword are from our Myriad Treasure Pavilion.”
“I’ve said several times before that I wanted to provide some remuneration to Master Bai Hun, but Master Bai Hun was unwilling to accept it no matter what. He said that he wanted to repay your kindness no matter what. He also hoped that you could accept it on account of his sincerity.”
“This Bai Hun is also a person who values friendship.”
“Of course. Master Bai Hun even specially told me to tell Young Master. If he has time in the future, he will definitely visit you personally.”
“You can arrange all of this. It’s not impossible for me to meet him when I’m free.”
Li Yuanqing said casually and waved his hand casually. Zhao Tai’an also tactfully took his leave.
Bai Hun was now the top weapon refinement master in Ping City. Everyone who knew the trade had heard of Bai Hun’s reputation. This guy was a top-notch figure.
However, this popular master of Ping City was as humble and cautious as a student in front of Li Yuanqing. This Master Bai Hun was filled with reverence for this teacher he had never met.
At the same time, Zhao Tai’an was also the chief weapon refinement master of their Myriad Treasure Pavilion. Most of the top artifacts of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion were made by this master, which showed his status.
“Master, Master Bai Hun seems to be interested in Sister.”
Little Man had not said a word just now, so Zhao Tai’an did not ask. Everyone knew the State Preceptor. Zhao Tai’an knew that his young master’s social circle was not something he could ask about casually. Therefore, no matter who he saw beside his young master, he usually would not say anything else.
“Is that so?”
Li Yuanqing was more or less surprised by this matter. He had never heard Hu Jiujiu say that before.
Little Man covered her mouth and chuckled at Li Yuanqing. “It’s hard to say who’s interested in who. It’s just that Sister often invites this master to tea and gatherings. I’m afraid the frequency is much higher than ordinary guests.”
“Bai Hun is already over two hundred years old this year. It will be difficult for him to take another step forward at this age.”
“However, Master Bai Hun is really quite an interesting person. I wonder if Master is interested in meeting him and seeing Sister’s taste?”
“Then it’s up to you to arrange it.”
