"Okay!"
Upon hearing that it was for someone to find, the young man's face lit up; finding someone was much more convenient than queuing and registering. Just as he took the Jade Plaque, the name from earlier suddenly flashed through his mind.
Inform Luo Yu...
His body suddenly stopped, his pupils dilated, and he slowly turned around, his face somewhat embarrassed. He asked in a very low voice, "Young Master, is the Luo Yu you mentioned... the Young Master Luo who has advanced to the Rebirth Realm and is about to participate in the Hundred Dynasty War..."
The young man's voice trembled slightly, as if he was afraid that his words would be overheard by others.
Along the way, he wondered what Jiang Shu was doing at the Luo Family's place.
But they never imagined that this young master was looking for Luo Yu.
Moreover, it seems that the two are quite familiar with each other.
"If the Luo Family doesn't have a second young master Luo Yu who once ranked eighth on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings, then this must be him."
Jiang Shu's words were calm, yet they struck like a flood, nearly shattering the young man's spirit.
It turns out that the people he brought along weren't any of the geniuses on the state's Little Dragon-Tiger Rankings at all.
Instead, he is on the same level as Luo Yu!
The young man's hand trembled slightly as he held the Jade Plaque. He took a deep breath and mustered his courage to walk up to the gatekeeper and speak.
Upon seeing the Jade Plaque, the Luo Family's gatekeeper straightened up and, without hesitation, relayed the message to the higher authorities.
A few minutes later, a hearty laugh came from the Luo Family. Luo Yu strode out and immediately saw Jiang Shu in front of the door. The familiar aura Hidden Abyss City was unmistakable.
"Brother Luo, how have you been?"
Jiang Shu spoke first, his voice transmitted through his mental power, demonstrating his strength.
In the Xuanxing, people generally respect the Luo Shang first and then the person.
In the Great Jing Dynasty, respect for the realm comes first, then respect for people.
If he were only at the Aperture Opening Realm, even if he had saved Luo Yu's life in the past, it would be difficult for him to talk to Luo Yu as an equal, let alone cooperate with him.
Using his mental energy shield to block out his surroundings, Jiang Shu continued, "I am Jiang Shu from Cloud State. I have come to the Luo Family to discuss another business deal with Brother Luo."
" Brother Jiang saved my life, so please feel free to speak to me if you have any questions."
Even with his powerful mental strength and advanced to the Rebirth Realm, Luo Yu couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Jiang Shu.
He never expected that the powerful person who saved him was actually the same age as him.
And it hasn't been that long.
Only by possessing the Treasure Artifact Golden Ape Futon was he able to successfully advance to the Rebirth Realm.
He, too, reached this level, his spiritual power no less than his own.
What incredible martial arts talent!
"I just came from Hidden Abyss City." Jiang Shu got straight to the point. "Before I came, I received news that Tu Yuan would be hiding and coming to the Royal City to kill you."
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Jiang."
Luo Yu bowed first, then said, "However, even when I was still in the Aperture Opening Realm, I was able to train in Hidden Abyss City. After returning to the Royal City and advancing to the Rebirth Realm, why would I be afraid of a stray dog? If Brother Jiang has nothing else to do, you may come with me to the Luo Family. I will prepare a feast and have a good chat with Brother Jiang."
"Good."
With the mental shield removed, Jiang Shu and Luo Yu shook hands and smiled, and the two stepped into the Luo Family together.
"Was that Luo Yu just now...?"
Outside the Luo Family gate, the air, which had suddenly become completely silent since Luo Yu arrived, finally began to move.
One of the retainers couldn't help but speak up, his gaze fixed on the two figures as they walked away. "I wonder what that young master's identity is, that he can walk side by side with Young Master Luo Yu. Could he be a hidden genius from some Aristocratic Clan?"
"I don't know, he looks unfamiliar, but judging from the fluctuations just now, he must have been communicating with Young Master Luo through mental energy. This genius is very likely also at the Rebirth Realm!"
"I've seen the portraits of all the geniuses on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings, and this one is definitely not among them. Perhaps he's been training outside all this time. I overheard him mentioning that he's some old friend from Hidden Abyss City. Wasn't Young Master Luo in Hidden Abyss City before? I guess he's a genius we met there."
"To be able to come to the Royal City so openly, he certainly isn't a criminal wanted by the dynasty. So, going to Hidden Abyss City is for training. He's a genius who will return from that training!"
"Those who train in Hidden Abyss City are all ruthless individuals. They not only possess high cultivation levels but also formidable combat power. It seems that this genius will definitely be able to participate in the Hundred Dynasty War. We will soon hear his true name."
The martial artists discussed amongst themselves, further solidifying their resolve to become retainers of the Luo Family.
At this moment, the young man was stunned. He had personally handed over the Jade Plaque and watched Luo Yu arrive, chatting happily with the young master who had led him there.
This young master really knows Luo Yu.
Moreover, he himself is a powerful expert at the Aperture Opening Realm!
Listening to the whispers of the martial artists, the young man suddenly clenched the Essence Great Elixir in his chest.
He absolutely cannot eat this giant pill.
He wants to hide it and pass it on!
The Luo Family.
Inside the attic, meat from some Fifth Order Variant Ferocious Beast was served at the banquet.
"I don't know what Brother Jiang likes to drink, so I brought out our Luo Family's treasured Dragon Tendon Phoenix Blood Wine. This wine is made primarily from the Essence Blood of the Tier 6 Variant Ferocious Beast, the Li Fire Bright Cloud Sparrow, which has a trace of Phoenix blood, and is infused with the tendons and bones of a dragon."
"Every sip can cleanse the body, and it has a remarkable effect on martial artists who have just entered the Aperture Opening Realm. Of course, for beings like you and me who have already entered the Rebirth Realm, this wine can only be used to satisfy our appetites."
Luo Yu began by introducing each dish, then personally poured a glass of wine and handed it over. "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your help back in Hidden Abyss City. If there's anything you need, just say the word. I, Luo Yu, will do everything I can without hesitation. Everything is in this wine, bottoms up."
"Dry."
Faced with Luo Yu's hospitality, Jiang Shu naturally did not refuse. He Dragon Tendon Phoenix Blood Wine in his cup and said, "There is no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days but guarding against thieves for a thousand days. When I said I wanted to do business with Brother Luo outside the door, it was because I wanted to kill Tu Yuan together with Brother Luo."
"I arrived very quickly; Tu Yuan should still be outside the Royal City. You and I can intercept him outside the city."
" Tu Yuan's belongings will still be divided equally. As for my coming to the Luo Family, I also want to use Brother Luo's connections to see if I can borrow some Top-Grade Cultivation Method and martial arts. In the meantime, I also want to learn some information about the Hundred Dynasty War."
Jiang Shu's voice was extremely calm, giving Luo Yu ample time to consider.
"It's nothing."
With a wave of his Origin Power, the Dragon Tendon Phoenix Blood Wine was poured back into the cup, and Luo Yu nodded.
At this moment, he mistakenly believed that Jiang Shu had also reached the Rebirth Realm.
Naturally, they wouldn't consider borrowing Cultivation Method a big deal.
After all, Jiang Shu's current age and cultivation level are sufficient to participate in the Hundred Dynasty War directly, so befriending him in advance would be more beneficial than harmful.
"Our Luo Family possesses three sets of Top-Grade Cultivation Method and six sets of Top-Grade Martial Arts. Apart from the family's Top-Grade Cultivation Method, Brother Jiang is welcome to take a look at the rest."
"I suppose Brother Jiang has also discovered that his spiritual power grows slowly after entering the Rebirth Realm. In fact, the best way to deal with this is to participate in the Hundred Dynasty War and join a sect. Spiritual power is not like Origin Power; it cannot be improved simply by learning more techniques."
"In the sect, there are all kinds of pills. Brother Jiang may not know this, but even top-grade pills are rare in our Great Jing Dynasty. But in the sect, they are everywhere. They can only be called waste pills."
"Because the true classification of pills is not based on low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, or top-grade. In the eyes of the sects, all of these pills are Mortal Rank pills. For them, what can truly be called pills are those starting from the Spirit Rank."
"For example, Spirit Rank Pill, Pure Essence Pill!"
As a genius from the Luo Family of the Royal City, Luo Yu naturally knew far more information than Jiang Shu, who came from a small county town.
"The same applies to the classification of elixirs and Treasure Artifact. The magical Treasure Artifact of our dynasty are all Mortal Rank Treasure Item. They are nothing special. True Spirit Rank Treasure Item are the best. Even some experts in the Furnace Fire Realm may not be able to possess them, which shows how precious they are."
" Brother Jiang may think that the Furnace Fire Realm is just one realm higher than our Rebirth Realm, and that it's easy to just skip it. He might think that he can get any Spirit Rank Pill or Spirit Rank Treasure Item. But that's not true. The difficulty of going from the Rebirth Realm to the Furnace Fire Realm is greater than the difficulty of an ordinary person practicing martial arts to reach the Rebirth Realm."
"Moreover, the cultivation at First Order within the Furnace Fire Realm is extremely difficult. Upon reaching this realm, what everyone cultivates is no longer martial arts, but supernatural powers. Each supernatural power requires several years, even decades, or nearly a hundred years of cultivation. Only when the supernatural power is successfully cultivated, and the internal Origin Power is condensed to its extreme, and the Spirit Refining with the natal True Fire, is there a chance to condense a core and reach the Essence Core Realm Furnace Fire Realm!"
"Experts who reach this level can be called True Person. Their Lifespan alone exceeds a thousand years, not to mention their supernatural powers, which are simply unimaginable."
"If they came to the dynasty, their word could easily determine the ownership of royal power."
"What imperial court, what powerful figures, what Aristocratic Clan, are all like ants in front of Origin Core Realm Master."
Luo Yu shook his head more and more as he spoke. He had reached the Rebirth Realm before he was thirty years old and considered himself to have extremely strong martial arts talent, but when it came to the Essence Core Realm, he could only feel envy.
It's like the displaced people in the county town of the Great Jing Dynasty envying the lives of the Aristocratic Clan families in the Royal City.
Spirit Rank Pill, Pure Essence Pill.
Spirit Rank Treasure Item, the Polar Underworld Lightning Tablet.
Only now did Jiang Shu fully understand how rich the legacy left by Nether Lightning True Person was.
These are all just external things.
The true inheritance should be the divine power contained within that Origin Core. If one could refine it, it would undoubtedly save decades, or even centuries, of cultivation time!
It seems that my decision to join the True Martial Sect after the Hundred Dynasty War was the right one.
This Origin Core is too dazzling.
Even if he had the chance to join the True Martial Sect by bringing the corpse back with him, he would still have no chance of obtaining the Origin Core.
There will be powerful experts at the Furnace Fire Realm who will come to compete for it.
Jiang Shu did not believe that a sect would be a quiet and sacred place for cultivation.
"That's a bit of a tangent. I wonder how much Brother Jiang knows about the Hundred Dynasty War. The Hundred Dynasty War is actually a gathering of geniuses from hundreds of dynasties to participate in a trial. Those who perform exceptionally well in the trial have the opportunity to gain the appreciation of the sect's deacons and be included in the sect's disciple list."
Before we knew it, a pot of Dragon Tendon Phoenix Blood Wine had been poured out.
Luo Yu paused for a moment, then solemnly said to Jiang Shu, "This spot is extremely rare; sometimes, there won't even be one in a whole year!"
"Once you obtain it, it will be a true leap over the dragon gate, because this spot is for Outer Sect Disciple! It is for true True Martial Sect."
"And even if geniuses like us successfully pass the test, the only status we get is... Servant Disciple."
