Sun Yi: "My Heavenly Treasure Pavilion Will Not Intervene, but We Can Offer Assistance"
"Robbery?"
Sun Yi was taken aback upon hearing this and looked at Lu Changzhi.
Judging from the other person's expression, they seemed to be serious.
For a moment, I felt a mixture of surprise and emotion.
They initially thought the other party was targeting Huang Hao, but it turned out to be Huang Pi.
They say the student surpasses the teacher, and this has certainly proven true.
Back then, Lu Yuan was warlike and mingled with many of his peers' geniuses. Now, his son has inherited this love of "fighting," only with a slight difference: he's changed from fighting to robbing.
Putting his mind aside, Chen Sunyi didn't dwell on that matter, but instead asked Lu Changzhi:
"Are you interested in the Origin of Fire?"
Lu Changzhi nodded slightly.
Sun Yi was clearly somewhat surprised.
While the Origin of Fire is relatively precious, it is ultimately not the Core of the Origin of Fire.
For ordinary people, it might be something worth pursuing, but for someone like Lu Yuan's son, it carries a sense of lowering oneself to the mundane world.
As if guessing that Sun Yi might have this idea, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:
Every blade of grass and every tree in this Land of the Four Directions has its reason for existence and its own unique characteristics.
Sun Yi pondered these words and gave Lu Changzhi a deep look.
It seems the other party has already discovered something.
However, he did not inquire about it.
The real topic at this point was clearly still the robbery.
At that moment, Sun Yi spoke:
"Your Excellency, our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has rules that forbid us from interfering in matters between different factions. In this matter, we are afraid we cannot take action ourselves."
After a pause, Sun Yi changed the subject:
"However, as a distinguished Purple-Gold Guest Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion can still provide you with certain conveniences in this regard."
Lu Changzhi nodded, unsurprised.
A business association like Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, which doesn't prioritize dominance, naturally cares about its reputation, so it's to be expected that it won't take direct action.
He was just trying to ask.
After all, his status as Purple-Gold Guest is almost confirmed, so it wouldn't be bad to use the special privileges he might receive.
At that moment, he asked:
"I wonder what kind of convenience it is?"
Sun Yi smiled and said:
"We can help you invite Huang Pi here and provide a place for conversation. You can try talking with him; if you can't reach an agreement, you can make other plans."
"Of course, it's still not appropriate for our people to take direct action," Sun Yi added.
"In that case, we'll be in trouble." Lu Changzhi nodded.
Invite them in directly, lure them in, and rob them; that would save you the trouble of blocking their way.
Soon, Sun Yi got up and left.
Lu Changzhi lay down on the bed, diverting a wisp of his consciousness to watch what was below, waiting.
Time passed little by little.
About half an hour later.
All the elders and disciples of the Extreme Arms Holy Land sensed a violent tremor deep within the ground.
Along with this tremor, the dense flame power within the Extreme Arms Holy Land seemed to show signs of slight disintegration.
At this moment, a thought arose in the minds of all the elders present.
The Origin of Fire has been taken away.
Sure enough, a moment later, Huang Pi Huang Hao and Huang Pi walked out.
"Senior, would you like to rest here for a while?"
Duan Yi asked aloud.
The more you want someone to leave, the more you should ask them if they want to stay.
Some people just fall for this kind of thing, and Huang Pi is clearly one of them right now.
He simply waved his hand and said:
"I'm very busy and have no time to waste here."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and the flying boat reappeared.
The two returned to the airship and then left the Extreme Arms Holy Land, heading away into the distance.
Seeing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, this powerful outsider didn't take a fancy to anything else, otherwise it would have been a huge problem."
"Yes, I didn't expect that they would actually only Origin of Fire."
Many people were still surprised by Huang Pi's statement that it was true.
Even though things went this far, there were absolutely no unexpected complications.
Only Duan Yi, and some elders, had a slightly bitter expression.
The disciples may not know, but they know very well.
The opponent only took the Origin of Fire, which likely means they didn't even consider the others.
On the flying boat.
"Grandpa, that old ancestor who came out earlier, he must also be Saint King, right?" Huang Hao asked.
Huang Pi nodded. "Just entered the Saint King, lifespan is limited, equivalent to the Peak Saint Realm."
"Then why didn't Grandpa kill him?" Huang Hao asked, puzzled.
"As Saint King, he must possess other valuable qualities that are worth acquiring, right?"
Huang Pi smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Grandson, this Land of the Four Directions is rather underdeveloped and cannot be judged by ordinary standards. Finding the Origin of Fire is already an unexpected gain. I doubt the Saint King possesses anything of value."
He paused, as if thinking of something, and said:
"These powerful individuals, whose lifespans are nearing their end, might self-destruct their cultivation if we're not careful. While they're unlikely to harm us, dealing with them would be troublesome, and it's not worth wasting our energy on them."
"Understood." Huang Hao nodded.
At this moment, Huang Pi said again:
"You should rest well and adjust your condition. Once you return to the Huang Clan, prepare to refine this Origin of Fire. After you succeed, your alchemy skills will definitely improve significantly."
Upon hearing this, Huang Hao responded and then got up and returned to his residence.
Huang Pi glanced around at the Land of the Four Directions, his expression slightly wistful:
"I've had really good luck during this trip. Not only did I obtain the Fortuitous Opportunity Token left by the previous Five Elements Sacred Physique, but I also unexpectedly found the Origin of Fire just as I was about to return."
While the Origin of Fire may not be as valuable as the Fortuitous Opportunity Token left by the previous Five Elements Sacred Physique, it is still a considerable opportunity for ordinary cultivators.
Having obtained both of these things in succession, even after living for so many years, I still find it somewhat unbelievable.
Shaking his head, Huang Pi put his mind at ease and stopped thinking about it, looking outside.
Once you feel you're on a lucky streak, you can't help but hope it continues.
Huang Pi lowered the flying boat's altitude and mentally surveyed the area below, hoping that upon returning, he might have another opportunity.
In this way, about half an incense stick's time passed.
Inside the flying boat, Huang Pi's expression shifted.
At the same time, the speed of the airship was temporarily slowed down.
Just now, a voice came from outside into the airship:
"I am Sun Yi, the Pavilion Master of the South Island Province Branch of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Currently, a distinguished guest aboard the flying ship of my Myriad Treasures Pavilion wishes to invite you to discuss important matters."
Huang Pi turned his head to look outside, his eyes slightly narrowed.
In the distance, as expected, Myriad Treasures Pavilion's enormous flying ship was slowly approaching.
As the head of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion 'South Island Province branch, he naturally knew the other party's identity, but the so-called distinguished guest and important matter mentioned by the other party surprised him somewhat.
To be considered a VIP by the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, one must at least possess Golden Guest Token.
Should we invite such people to discuss important matters?
"Grandpa, what happened?"
Huang Hao's voice rang out.
Huang Pi smiled and said:
"Haosun, come, this might be another opportunity on this trip."
