I Came to Buy Some Things

Seeing Lu Peng, Lu Xiaoyu, and the others, Lu Yiping was surprised.

What were they doing in the Big Dipper Empire?

The Big Dipper Empire was not close to the Thunder Que Sword Sect.

At this moment, Song Ning, the Thunder Que Sword Sect Master, hurried forward and came before Lu Yiping, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Young Master."

Earlier, he had been struck by Sword Demon Xi Lai's Death Soul Sword Qi, and it was Lu Yiping who had completely expelled it for him.

Although Song Ning did not know Lu Yiping's true identity, he knew that even their ancestors, Yang Cheng and Lord Chen Hong, were exceptionally respectful toward Lu Yiping.

Moreover, he guessed that Sword Demon Xi Lai's death was likely connected to Lu Yiping.

The other experts of the Thunder Que Sword Sect did not know about Lu Yiping. Seeing their Sect Master Song Ning respectfully salute him, they were all surprised.

Lu Yiping nodded, then asked Song Ning, "What are you doing in the Big Dipper Empire?"

Song Ning hastily replied, "In reply to Young Master, the first of next month marks the ten-thousandth anniversary of the Big Dipper Empire's founding. The entire empire will be celebrating, and we have come to attend the festivities."

The Big Dipper Empire's ten-thousandth founding anniversary was a major event on the Divine Martial Continent.

Thus, many imperial families from dynasties, sect masters, and even experts from certain empires would come to offer their congratulations.

"Has Young Master also come to the Big Dipper Empire for the celebrations?" Song Ning cautiously asked.

Lu Yiping said, "I came to buy some things."

Upon hearing this, Song Ning smiled. "May I ask what Young Master wishes to buy? I know a steward from the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild."

The Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild was one of the largest merchant guilds on the Divine Martial Continent.

Lu Yiping said, "Since you know a steward from the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild, help me ask him whether the guild has any True God Divine Sparks for sale recently."

Song Ning was dumbfounded. Lu Yiping actually wanted to buy Divine Sparks?!

He knew exactly how expensive a True God's Divine Spark was. Even if the Thunder Que Sword Sect smashed pots and sold iron, they still could not afford one.

The Thunder Que Sword Sect's Grand Elder and the others also stared at Lu Yiping in shock.

"Young Master wants to buy a True God Divine Spark?" Song Ning swallowed his saliva, feeling his heart tremble.

Lu Yiping gave a sound of acknowledgment. "I do not want ordinary ones. I want the very best kind."

Song Ning felt his heart shudder again.

"I want to buy two," Lu Yiping added.

Song Ning stopped breathing.

He wanted to buy two!

Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu also stared at Lu Yiping in shock.

Although the two had spent several days with Lu Yiping before, they knew even less about him than Song Ning did.

Everyone fell silent.

No one from the Thunder Que Sword Sect dared to speak.

After a long while, Song Ning hesitantly said, "Young Master, we intend to find an inn and stay for a few days. If you have not found lodging yet, how about staying with us?" He then looked at Lu Yiping uneasily.

"Sure." Lu Yiping pondered briefly.

Song Ning was delighted when Lu Yiping agreed.

Thus, Lu Yiping and the Thunder Que Sword Sect group began looking for an inn.

Seeing how crowded the streets were, Lu Yiping put away the War Chariot.

"How is your cultivation of the Asura Sword Technique?" Lu Yiping asked Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu.

Lu Peng hastily answered, "In reply to Young Master, we have cultivated day and night over the past month or so, and have already reached the nineteenth move."

"If there is anything you do not understand these next few days, you can ask me," Lu Yiping said.

"Thank you, Young Master." Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly expressed their thanks.

Song Ning, seeing this, was naturally filled with envy.

Yet only half an hour later, sweat had begun to bead on Song Ning's forehead in anxiety.

Although there were still half a month until the Big Dipper Empire's celebration, all the major inns in the imperial capital were packed. They had visited six inns in a row, and every room was already occupied.

"Young Master, shall we ask at the next inn?" Song Ning asked Lu Yiping.

"No need." Lu Yiping shook his head. "Even if we keep looking, it will be the same." After a pause, he said, "I have somewhere to stay. Come with me."

He had just remembered that Su Xiu, ancestor of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, had an estate here. Su Xiu rarely stayed there, so the estate was currently vacant.

Song Ning was surprised to hear that Lu Yiping had a place to stay.

However, he did not dare ask further, and together with the Thunder Que Sword Sect members, he followed Lu Yiping toward Su Xiu's estate.

As a Late True God expert, the location of the estate Su Xiu had purchased was naturally excellent, situated in the very heart of the Big Dipper Empire.

But just as Lu Yiping and the others were heading toward Su Xiu's estate, they saw a large group emerge ahead and block their path.

The newcomers were from the White Bone Sect.

There were seventy or eighty of them.

Song Ning's expression changed in shock when he saw them. "White Bone Sect!"

At that moment, Miao Yan of the White Bone Sect stepped forward. She glanced at Song Ning and the others, then sneered at Lu Yiping. "So you are from the Thunder Que Sword Sect of the Wuji Dynasty." Then she said to one of the elderly men, "Master, it was his subordinates who killed Junior Brother Chen!"

Wang Qishan stepped forward, looking coldly at Lu Yiping and the four people behind him, Zhang Jin and Zhao Wen among them. "You killed my disciple and destroyed tens of thousands of Living Dead under my sect. Tell me, how should this matter be resolved?"

Lu Yiping said calmly, "Resolved?" Then he smiled. "How do you want to resolve it?"

Wang Qishan's face darkened. "Since you are from the Thunder Que Sword Sect, I will give the Thunder Que Sword Sect some face. Your subordinate killed my disciple. A life for a life—I only want his life!"

"Furthermore, you destroyed tens of thousands of Living Dead under my sect. You must compensate us with one million High-grade Spirit Stones!"
