Chapter 64: Most of the Time, I'm Incredibly Smart
Chapter 64: Most of the Time, I'm Incredibly Smart
"Oh?"
"Is the news true?!"
Cloud Heaven Valley's Valley Lord, Yun Ruofu, emerged from the secret chamber with a delighted expression.
"The news is indeed true!"
His disciple replied excitedly, "Many forces have already sent people, but the protective array is astonishing. It's said that the deceased spent a fortune to hire an Eighth Realm Array Master to set it up. Even after several thousand years, it hasn't collapsed; it's just a bit unstable, which led to its discovery."
"Many array masters are attempting to break the formation, but progress is slow. According to reliable sources, it will take about twenty to thirty days to initially break through the array and send someone inside."
"Whose tomb is it?"
"It's the tomb of the infamous Fire Swallower Daoist from thousands of years ago!"
"Oh?"
"Fire Swallower Daoist?"
"I do recall this person. It's said that he was notorious back then and was just a step away from reaching the Eighth Realm. Unfortunately, due to his arrogance, he offended a terrifying Great Power and had his life force erased. He struggled in despair for several years before dying with resentment."
"But this Fire Swallower Daoist, who once roamed without fear, accumulated an extremely wealthy fortune..."
Yun Ruofu paced back and forth, "If we can obtain the heritage and burial items from his tomb, entering the Seventh Realm is indeed a possibility."
"Hahaha, not bad! Disciple, I'm delighted to hear this news!"
"Old Seventh!"
"Old Seventh?"
"Old Seventh, where have you been? Get over here and give me..."
Yun Ruofu was initially extremely excited and was about to make arrangements, but he saw his disciple's face turn pale in an instant, causing him to frown deeply, "Why are you panicking?!"
"Where's Old Seventh?!"
"Seven... Seventh Uncle..."
The disciple knelt down, and even prostrated himself on the ground, "He... he's gone."
"Gone?"
"What do you mean, gone?"
Yun Ruofu was startled but refused to believe it, "Don't talk nonsense! As long as Cloud Heaven Valley stands, who dares to touch him?!"
Then, he roared, "Old Seventh, don't scare me! Get over here!!!"
However, there was no response.
Boom! Yun Ruofu's Qi burst forth, frightening his disciple into shivering, "Speak!"
"What actually happened?!"
"Seven... Seventh Uncle went to Hongwu Immortal City on an errand but accidentally learned about a lower-tier third-rank small sect that had obtained an opportunity and had a pill refining genius. He wanted to bring them back, but who would have thought that he would never return."
"Over a month ago, Seventh Uncle's Life Talisman shattered."
"Considering that you, Master, are in seclusion, I didn't inform you right away..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ruofu stood frozen in place.
A long, long time passed.
When the disciple looked up, he saw that Yun Ruofu was already weeping with old tears.
"Forgive me, Master..."
"Silly child, what does this have to do with you? Stand up."
"Please tell Master, which small sect is it?"
"It's Moonseizing Sect. Moonseizing Sect's strength is ordinary, but they've formed an alliance with the Liu Family. Seventh Uncle's death is likely related to the Liu Family."
"Please Master, calm your anger for now. After you obtain the opportunity and advance to the Seventh Realm, even the Liu Family..."
"Hmm, that's well said."
"But..."
The disciple was taken aback and looked at Yun Ruofu.
Yun Ruofu's smile was particularly chilling, "You're too noisy."
Boom!!! His body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood that scattered with the wind.
"Moonseizing Sect, Liu Family..."
Yun Ruofu murmured softly, "This old man will personally investigate this matter."
"Old Seventh, Old Seventh, among our nine brothers, only you and I remain. I thought that even though your talent is slightly inferior, as long as I strive harder, we brothers can roam freely for tens of thousands of years."
"I've repeatedly warned you to stay away from danger, but you always want to prove yourself. Now look at the situation you've gotten yourself into. What am I supposed to do now?"
"From now on, I'll be the only one left in this world."
"Rest assured, I will avenge you. Once I reach the Seventh Stage..."
His face turned cold as he looked at the place where his disciple had disappeared. With a cold voice, he said, "As for you, hmph, even the other elders didn't dare to inform me of this bad news. You're quite brave, but..."
"Even if you were deceived by other fellow disciples, it's still extremely foolish and not worth dying for."
"Someone, come here!"
"Pass down the order to closely monitor the tomb of Fire Swallower Daoist. Any movement, no matter how small, must be reported to me in detail!"
...
Moonseizing Sect.
When Liu Xun brought the harvest of pills, Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin, have you heard anything about the tomb of Fire Swallower Daoist?"
"The tomb of Fire Swallower Daoist?"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up. "I haven't heard about it. Please tell me more."
Liu Xun didn't hold back and immediately shared all the information the Liu Family had gathered.
He continued, "This isn't really a secret. Nowadays, any sect with a bit of information or disciples traveling outside will know about it."
"However, it's normal for the news to spread slowly since Moonseizing Sect currently has a small number of disciples."
"But if you're interested, you can also go and try your luck."
"With so many people vying for this opportunity, no one can predict the outcome until the very end. Perhaps Moonseizing Sect will have that luck?" He laughed casually.
Of course, he didn't truly believe his own words.
Fire Swallower Daoist was not weak. Throughout the past and present, he was a top-tier cultivator in the Seventh Stage, and he had even killed an Eighth Stage cultivator by surpassing his realm. Even though the opponent was in the Eighth Stage, it was still the Eighth Stage.
This ancient powerhouse attracted the attention of too many people.
"However, there are still risks involved."
Seeing that Lin Fan remained silent, Liu Xun explained, "The Nine Great Holy Lands are too transcendent and would definitely not be interested. First-Rank Sects might not care either, but Second-Rank Sects and other forces would mostly not let this opportunity slip by."
"So, it will be chaotic and quite dangerous when the time comes."
"But..."
"There are risks and opportunities. If Moonseizing Sect is interested, you can send a few people with us. We can go together."
"With the presence of our Liu Family's strong cultivators, no one will dare to make a move against you. And if you're lucky, you might also obtain some good things."
After a pause, he added, "As long as you don't touch those heritage objects."
Seeing Lin Fan deep in thought, Liu Xun wasn't in a hurry. He quietly sipped his spirit tea, waiting patiently.
Inside, he felt quite proud.
Sharing this common knowledge wouldn't affect anything.
Bringing some people from Moonseizing Sect along wouldn't be a problem either. As long as they didn't do anything reckless, no one would bother them. So, there wouldn't be any real danger.
By doing this, he could gain Lin Fan's favor. Next time, even if the quality of the pills didn't improve, the quantity would surely increase~
Such a profitable trade, why not do it?
Hmph!
My father always says I'm foolish, but I'm not at all.
Most of the time, I'm incredibly smart.
