Chapter 489 Special Service Area
Proofreader: @vongola10
The profound qi activated by the Burning Heaven Sword Formation was mainly due to the “Scarlet Star Spirit Qi”, and not due to the Swift Wind Spirit Qi or the Spirit Lord Qi.
Although Su Yun had the Monarch Occult Force, he rarely used the “Scarlet Star Spirit Qi”. It could be said that of the five main attributes, the Scarlet Star Spirit Qi was the one he used the least.
In the following period of time, Su Yun practised the Burning Heaven Sword Formation with Ling Qingyu.
Controlling the sword formation was an improvement to the Sword Qi, but controlling the “Burning Heaven Nine Swords” required the presence of the Scarlet Star Spirit Qi. Besides practising the control of the sword formation, Su Yun also practised the power of the Scarlet Star Power.
Wu Ye City.
“Ten Fire Spirit Pills.”
Su Yun said to the old man in front of the counter.
After taking the “Fire Spirit Pill” before cultivating, Su Yun would come here to buy pills before training. Although this was something the Huairou family had, Su Yun, didn’t want to ask for help from Huairou Muyu.
After spending two and a half days, Su Yun finally grasped the first sword of the Burning Heaven Sword Formation, Phoenix Dancing In The Sky.
It would take at least ten days to master the second strike. This was a speed that could only be achieved with great talent and guidance from an expert. If it was an ordinary person, their cultivation speed would have been reduced by at least ten times.
Su Yun strictly followed Ling Qingyu’s instructions without any intention of playing any tricks.
“One hundred profound coins.”
The shopkeeper said to Su Yun while taking out the small bottle with ten Fire Spirit Pills.
Su Yun counted out 100 profound coins from his spatial ring, put it on the table, took the Fire Spirit Pills and left.
He only had a few thousand profound coins left to spend. If he could participate in this kind of Grand Competition, he couldn’t afford to miss it. Not only could he gain fighting strength, but the profound coins he acquired could also greatly enhance his strength and profit.
“Huh?”
Just as Su Yun walked out of the shop, he suddenly frowned and stopped.
He wrinkled his nose, took a deep breath, and followed the smell to the passing crowd.
Although the smell was very faint, he could still feel it.
The smell was very similar to the one he had smelled in the black cauldron.
Green Ghost King?
Su Yun’s heart skipped a beat.
Did he sneak into Wu Ye City?
This shouldn’t be possible. Why would such a powerful character come to Wu Ye City in advance?
Since he had absolute strength, would he still come to Five Leaves City and try to ambush them?
Maybe he was just sent by Green Ghost King to investigate the situation here?
Or maybe Ye Moxian?
A person flashed across Su Yun’s mind, and his eyes instantly tensed up.
He pulled on his hood, lowered his head and followed the faint scent into the crowd, slowly approaching it.
This aura was very faint, almost non-existent in the crowded streets. However, due to his Monarch Occult Force, Su Yun had a very sensitive sense of smell towards any presence. Even if the two similar auras were muddled together, he could easily tell that this ability was becoming more and more obvious as he grew stronger.
Finally, under the guidance of this faint and almost imperceptible aura, Su Yun’s gaze focused on the two people in the crowd a hundred meters away with their faces hidden by their hats.
Transfiguration was not a difficult thing for Spirit Master realm existences. As an example, Su Yun could use profound qi transform into someone else’s body, but it would consume a lot of profound qi, mystical Qi and lets people see through him at a glance. It was a low-grade profound skill, and no Spirit Cultivator would dare to do such a thing, and if he used a disguise to be seen through, he would be treated as an enemy, no matter who it was.
He realized that even if the other party was pretending, he would subconsciously think that the other party had some ulterior motive, which might threaten him.
Therefore, these two would rather wear hats to cover their faces than to change their expressions.
There was no need for Su Yun to do this with the Shapeshift Bone Piece. The magic of this magic treasure was perfect. With the cultivation of Spirit Master, even with the same cultivation level, no one would be able to see through it.
Who were these two people?
Would there be Ye Moxian among them?
Su Yun thought to himself, then lowered his head and quietly followed.
These two people did not say anything as they walked forward. They easily crossed the main street and arrived at a restaurant at the end of the street. They directly entered the restaurant.
Seeing this, Su Yun immediately followed.
“Yo, sir, how many guests?”
The waitress quickly came over and asked with a smile.
“One.”
Su Yun said calmly.
“Alright sir, this way please!”
The waiter greeted him enthusiastically.
Su Yun was surprised to find that there were only a few people in the restaurant. Not only that, but the two people who came in earlier were nowhere to be seen, and there was no sign of them in the restaurant.
“Is there a second floor here?”
Su Yun couldn’t help but ask.
“Nope.”
The waiter replied.
At this time, a few Spirit Cultivators walked in and the waiter immediately went over to greet them. The Spirit Cultivators whispered something into the waiter’s ear and the waiter nodded, beckoning the Spirit Cultivators to come into the rear hall of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Su Yun immediately walked to the back of the hall, but the waiter soon came out. When he saw Su Yun walking over, he quickly reached out his hand to stop him.
“Customer, what are you planning to do?”
Su Yun frowned and said, “I want to go in.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
The waiter laughed.
“An appointment?”
“What appointment?”
“Of course, an appointment to enter our special service area. If you don’t have an appointment, you can’t enter.”
“Then how should I make an appointment?”
Su Yun asked.
However, the waiter shook his head lightly and did not say anything. He ignored Su Yun and ran to greet the other customers.
Seeing this, Su Yun immediately pulled him back. After hesitating for a moment, he took out more than ten profound coins from his spatial ring and stuffed it into the waiter’s hands.
The waiter slipped into the space bag at his waist, then smiled and said: “Customer, the appointment isn’t that difficult. You just need to find a customer who has already made an appointment and let him bring you in. After the first time you enter, you will become a member.”
“What’s inside?”
Su Yun asked.
When the waiter heard this, his expression changed slightly. “Customer, you don’t even know what’s inside?”
When Su Yun saw this, he knew that the question was incorrect. He immediately coughed a few times and said, “I heard something, it seems pretty interesting. Forget it, I’ll just find someone to take me in.”
The waiter nodded his head, looked at Su Yun once more, then turned around and left, signalling the other customers to leave.
It seems like there is another special service area in the inner hall?
What could it be?
Su Yun thought for a while, then immediately left the restaurant and returned to Huairou Mansion.
Although Huairou was the largest merchant guild in Wu Ye City, it did not mean that it controlled all of the shops in the city. Some of the shops were opened by rogue cultivators, and they had formed a cooperative relationship with the Huairou family.
However, from the waiter’s words and actions, the special service area at the back of the restaurant didn’t seem to be a proper business. It was better to ask Huairou Muyu.
Inside the Embroidery Pavilion of Huairou Muyu.
“Behind the Cuijiang Restaurant?”
The slightly pale Huairou Muyu looked at Su Yun with a slight haggard expression, “There’s nothing behind that, but there’s an underground fighting arena under the restaurant, and it’s the place where Spirit Cultivators fight and enjoy themselves. Of course, there’s also a gambling house that’s open, and for Spirit Cultivators that like to stimulate and fight, it’s a heaven.”
“If that’s the case, then why are you hiding it so well?”
“Sneaky, is it that you can’t see the light?”
Su Yun asked.
“Indeed, I do not wish to see the light.”
Huairou Muyu said softly, "In this underground fighting arena, quite a few Spirit Cultivators die every day. Rich people watch Spirit Cultivators fight and bet money. But those who have no money will fight on stage to earn a prize money and raise their fighting strength along the way. The winners will get rich profound coins, and the losers will almost always be killed by the winners, without exception, this kind of place cannot be moved to the open.
“I’m afraid it will cause them dissatisfaction.”
“Does a powerful existence care about the lives of some low-level Spirit Cultivator?”
“They can wipe out everything with a flip of their hands, but Spirit Cultivator the same time, they cannot allow the Spirit Cultivators to kill each other. In their opinion, when the Spirit Cultivator kills each other and dies one by one, they will only let them use less of the resources available to them. Therefore, they oppose this kind of thing.”
“But they wouldn’t let us destroy each other.”
“Therefore, although everyone is well aware of the situation in this underground fighting arena, they are not allowed to move it onto the stage.”
When Su Yun heard that he nodded in understanding and said, “Seeing how you understand it, does your Huairou family also have a share?”
“Huairou family has half of it.”
“No wonder.”
"Why do you ask? Are you interested in this?”
Huairou Muyu asked.
“That’s right.”
Su Yun smiled, “Can you think of a way to get me in?”
“I want to see it.”
“I’ll have it arranged for you right away.”
Huairou Muyu said softly.
“Well, that’s settled. I’ll be there at noon tomorrow.”
After saying that, Su Yun turned around, waved his hands, and left the residence.
Huairou Muyu looked at Su Yun’s leaving figure with her bright eyes and sighed. Ye Moxian, who was going to arrive at Wu Ye City in a few days, had the support of the Green Ghost King. This time, Huairou Muyu was afraid that he would be completely different from last time.
“Xiao Yin!”
Huairou Muyu shouted towards the door.
Moments later, the serving maid, Xiao Yin, hurriedly ran in. “Miss, do you have any orders?”
“When will Grandfather arrive in Wu Ye City?”
“Reporting to the young lady, the Grand Master will be entering Wu Ye City in two hours. The Old Master has already led the second master, third master and the others to the city gates to await their arrival.”
When Huairou Muyu heard this, a trace of relief flashed across their serious faces.
“Grandfather, now that you’re here, he will definitely have a way out. Perhaps this time, we can only rely on him.”
