"What I need is actually very simple. I just need you to help me find someone. I remember she's at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and her name is Dugu Yan. Just take me to see her."

Having said that,

so as not to owe anyone a favor,

Lu Yunzhu took out a... Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. "Whoever helps me meet her, this Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone will be their reward... I'll give it to them."

As soon as Lu Yunzhu finished speaking,

the scene immediately fell silent.

"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as payment? Just to find someone?! Brother, are you kidding?"

"Heavens above, earth below! There are so many types of cultivators and countless techniques, fine—but why... why the hell are they so rich too? A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as payment? This has to be fake, right?"

"A priceless Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a reward? Big brother, you're way too generous!"

"Brothers, we've really broadened our horizons today. I've never seen anyone use a Soul Bone as payment before."

Looking at the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone in Lu Yunzhu's hand,

Bibi Dong's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Just who is this guy? Forget using a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a reward—his goal is only to find someone?

As she muttered inwardly,

Bibi Dong was utterly baffled.

After drawing a sharp breath,

Ning Fengzhi felt his face burn with pain.

"This guy... how... how is he even more lavish than me? He's just looking for someone, yet he's offering a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as payment. This isn't generosity—he's a spendthrift!"

While Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, and the others were lost in their thoughts,

Qian Renxue, disguised as Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, suddenly spoke. "I'll do it!!!"

Lu Yunzhu's Whereabouts, Great Powers Stirring in the Wind

The moment "Xue Qinghe" finished speaking,

everyone's gazes immediately shifted to him.

Why is she getting involved now?

Seeing that the speaker was her daughter,

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed and her gaze sharpened.

"Qinghe knows Heaven Dou Royal Academy better than anyone. Since he has spoken up now, he must be trying to help me recruit that ungrateful brat Lu Yunzhu."

Upon seeing that Xue Qinghe was the one who spoke,

the smile on Ning Fengzhi's face grew even wider.

His disciple speaking up

was no different from him speaking up himself.

Thus, Ning Fengzhi was very pleased.

"You? Do what? Help me find someone?"

After knowingly asking the question,

Lu Yunzhu fixed his gaze directly on "Xue Qinghe."

As he looked the other person up and down, he was also curious what sort of "angelic" face lay beneath that body and appearance.

Facing Lu Yunzhu's question,

"Xue Qinghe," not daring to relax or slight him in the slightest, promptly replied,

"In response to Senior, I am Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Among everyone present, if I claim to be second most familiar with Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then no one could claim to be first. Therefore, if you wish to find someone, I am willing to serve you to the best of my ability."

Hearing "Xue Qinghe's" words,

Lu Yunzhu nodded thoughtfully.

After giving a cupped-fist salute,

he responded, "Then... thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The instant Lu Yunzhu finished speaking,

he vanished from where he stood.

When everyone looked again,

they discovered that a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone had somehow appeared in Xue Qinghe's hand,

while an additional figure had appeared inside Xue Qinghe's carriage.

Without question, that figure was Lu Yunzhu!

"That kid is so fast. Even I... could only see his afterimage."

Seeing this,

Ghost Douluo Ghostly swallowed unconsciously before speaking with lingering fear.

"Even if the two of us joined forces against him, our chances of victory would be minuscule."

After nodding slightly,

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yuanguan spoke, once again realizing just how formidable cultivators were.

"Let's go."

Once he had settled himself in the carriage,

Lu Yunzhu spoke and added, "It's already late today. I ask that Your Highness help me find a place to stay for the night. Tomorrow morning, take me to find Dugu Yan. Sorry for the trouble."

Hearing this,

a smile appeared on "Xue Qinghe's" face.

He promptly answered,

"It is Qinghe's honor to serve Mr. Lu. Rest assured, Mr. Lu, Qinghe will make all the arrangements. I absolutely will not disappoint you."

Having received this response,

Lu Yunzhu nodded slightly,

a satisfied look appearing on his face.

Seeing this,

"Xue Qinghe" also revealed a delighted smile from the bottom of his heart.

After their brief conversation,

the carriage bearing the symbol of the Heaven Dou Crown Prince entered Heaven Dou City under the escort of the arriving Heaven Dou Royal Knights.

Neither Ning Fengzhi nor Bibi Dong continued fighting over Lu Yunzhu after he was taken away by "Xue Qinghe."

As for the reason? It was actually... very... simple.

Ning Fengzhi felt that since "Xue Qinghe" was his disciple, it made little difference whether Xue Qinghe took Lu Yunzhu away or he did so himself.

Therefore,

Ning Fengzhi did not continue competing for Lu Yunzhu.

At the same time,

he decided that early the next morning,

he would pay Lu Yunzhu a visit

and see whether he could build some ties with him.

Bibi Dong, meanwhile, knew that "Xue Qinghe" was one of her own,

so she was completely at ease letting him take Lu Yunzhu away.

However,

neither Ning Fengzhi nor Bibi Dong knew

that "Xue Qinghe," that ruthless, deeply calculating, and exceedingly scheming little venomous snake, had plans and thoughts of her own.

After seeing Lu Yunzhu and Xue Qinghe leave,

the people present immediately began discussing animatedly.

"This really is a case of the snipe and clam fighting while the fisherman reaps the reward. Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fought over him for so long, but in the end, His Highness the Crown Prince took him away."

"From today onward, this newly emerged profession of cultivators will probably become famous throughout Douluo Continent, right?"

"What else did you expect? Leaving aside all their various branches, just their cultivation realms alone are enough to drive countless Soul Masters mad. So it's inevitable that cultivators will become renowned across the land."

"Yeah, yeah, I agree!"

"By the way, how does one become a cultivator?"

"Yeah, same question. How can someone become a cultivator?"

"Rejecting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall twice in a row—Lu Yunzhu truly has... admirable courage."

Watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance,

Liu Erlong, standing frozen in place, seemed to recall something.

Her eyes immediately lit up, and joy filled her heart.

Xiaogang can't become a Soul Elder... but wouldn't it be even better if he became a cultivator?

At that thought,

Liu Erlong unconsciously swallowed.

She swore

that no matter what, she would find Lu Yunzhu

and ask him to take Yu Xiaogang as his disciple,

so that he could teach Yu Xiaogang the so-called path of cultivation.

In just one night,

news of the cultivator Lu Yunzhu spread like a storm across every corner of the continent.

"Cultivator? What's that? Another profession? How does it compare to blacksmithing?"

"I heard cultivators stand above us Soul Masters! And they have so many branches too, like alchemists, Formation Masters, and the like. Not only is each one more impressive than the last, their methods are all astonishing!"

"Above us Soul Masters? What a joke. Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Exactly. On this continent, we Soul Masters are the noblest profession. Never mind whether these cultivators can stand on equal footing with us—they're supposed to be nobler than us? I don't believe it!"

Spirit Hall,

Angel Sacred Hall.

"Cultivators? Alchemy? Formations? Artifact forging? Talismans? Sword Cultivators and Body Cultivators? This continent... is becoming more and more interesting."

Listening to the report from the person below,

Qian Daoliu nodded with great interest.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"Cultivators? Peerless Thunder Techniques?"
