Chapter 214 Trading
Gu Yuchuan had actually vaguely sensed this during the arena battle: the Holy Son's attitude towards him was a little unnatural, as if he needed something from him.
Logically speaking, such prodigies should have their own pride in their bones and rarely take the initiative to get close to others, especially when the other party's cultivation level is higher. However, this Holy Son has been taking the initiative to get closer to him.
He had inquired about this Holy Son quite a bit during this time, and he was very certain that this Holy Son was an extremely cold person. Not to mention geniuses of the same realm, he wouldn't even give a good look to some Nascent Soul stage experts. Gu Yuchuan was certain that the other party must have something to ask of him. However, he thought about it for a long time and still didn't know what he possessed that was worth such a genius plotting against. Fortunately, now he was about to solve this mystery.
It has to be said that Longhu Mountain is indeed a large and powerful family, and the Holy Son really values him very much. The fine wine and spiritual fruits prepared here are all of the fourth rank. For example, the Thunder Serpent Fruit in front of him is something he has only heard of but never seen. Legend has it that only in the leap year every four years, when the first spring thunder rings out and hits the serpent fruit tree, can the serpent fruit be given a touch of thunderous aura. Then, the serpent fruit must be nurtured for more than five hundred years before it can bear twelve Thunder Serpent Fruits.
After consuming the Thunder Serpent Fruit, one can temper the cultivator's physical body and add a touch of pure Yang power of thunder to the cultivator's magic power. It is an extremely precious fourth-tier spiritual fruit. These precious things are placed in front of Gu Yuchuan, but he really doesn't dare to eat them. With his wealth, it would be very painful for him to eat such things.
"Brother Gu, please have a taste. These are rare spiritual fruits, and they taste quite good."
Gu Yuchuan was too lazy to continue with this pretense and wanted to get straight to the point.
"People say that one should not accept a reward without merit. I am only here to congratulate you on becoming the young sect leader. How can I accept something so precious from you? I am not that kind of person."
The Holy Son was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Gu Yuchuan's reaction. He quickly composed himself: "Alright, the Demon King is indeed a straightforward person. Then I'll speak frankly as well. I do have a deal I'd like to make with the Demon King. What does the Demon King think?"
Once he realized the other party had something to ask for, Gu Yuchuan's mind calmed down a bit. If someone has something to ask for, they will care about appearances and there will be no danger: "Holy Son, we need to see what kind of deal it is first. There's no reason to ask if someone agrees without explaining the terms."
The Holy Son realized that he had been a bit reckless. In recent years, he had been so focused on cultivation that he had hardly ever met anyone. If he wanted something, he would just have to ask and countless people would offer it to him with open hands. So, he was indeed not very skilled at dealing with people.
"It was I who didn't make myself clear. I'll be frank: I want the information about the Canglan Realm that the Demon King has. I've already inquired about it, and the teleportation array in the Canglan Realm was set up by the Demon King himself. The Demon King must have a lot of information in his hands."
Gu Yuchuan remained silent, and for a moment, the whole scene became somewhat awkward. He had considered many possible outcomes, but he never expected that this was what the other party wanted; it was simply outrageous.
He turned his gaze to the other party, whose expression remained unchanged: "Is the Holy Son exchanging his own identity for information, or is it that your Longhu Mountain wants to exchange it for? There is a huge difference between the two."
If it were the Holy Son's own decision, Gu Yuchuan could still trade with him, since he obtained the information himself and could indeed exchange a small portion of it. However, if it were Longhu Mountain that made the exchange, it would be completely different, and the nature of the exchange would be entirely different.
The Holy Son was clearly aware of this problem: "I swear, this information will only be used by me and will not be told to anyone, including the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain. You can rest assured about that. I will also give you a full reward. I have a key to the Dragon Clan's inheritance secret realm here. After you use it, you can go to a trial space exclusively for the Dragon Clan, where you can obtain many benefits from the Dragon Clan."
After speaking, he took out a small crystal dragon and placed it in front of the two of them. Gu Yuchuan could feel that the little dragon had a great attraction for him. It seemed that this was an opportunity exclusive to the dragon race, the kind of opportunity that only brought benefits and no danger, a blessing from the dragon ancestors to their descendants. It was very attractive to him.
"The Holy Son has so many good things in his possession; I'm envious."
His question was a veiled inquiry into the Holy Son's identity, since his public persona was insufficient to justify such wealth.
The Holy Son remained silent for a while before finally speaking; his background was indeed extraordinary.
He is indeed the offspring of a celestial being, and the offspring of a powerful Golden Immortal. That's a Golden Immortal, after all. He has reached the pinnacle on the path of immortality, and the next step is to obtain the Dao Fruit.
A being like the Holy Son should be considered a peerless genius even in the Immortal Realm. However, when his mother gave birth to him, extraterrestrial demons caused trouble, resulting in some problems with his origins and greatly affecting his potential. In order to make up for this, he was sent to the lower realm to walk the path to immortality on his own.
Although he didn't explain it clearly, Gu Yuchuan could understand that the other party's elder must be a member of the Zhengyi sect, the ancestral temple of the Longhu Mountain lineage, otherwise he wouldn't have descended upon Longhu Mountain.
Longhu Mountain is no small sect; it is descended from Zhang Tianshi of the Heavenly Court, a renowned figure in the celestial realm.
After hearing his background, Gu Yuchuan was no longer surprised by what he could produce. Even if he produced something that could instantly transform a mortal into an immortal, he would still consider it a given.
"I see. The Holy Son's background is indeed admirable. We cultivators from minor worlds can only feel ashamed. I just wonder what the Holy Son wants the things from the Canglan Realm for?"
The Holy Son's eyes sharpened considerably. He disliked others prying into his affairs, but after thinking about it, he realized it wasn't a big deal: "I need luck. Luck is crucial for anyone who wants to become an immortal. If you want the Heavenly Dao to favor you, you have to do things that please it. Interdimensional wars are necessary. Even in the Immortal Realm, powerful beings constantly transform chaotic energy to enter the Immortal Realm, all for the sake of luck."
Gu Yuchuan now values luck even more. If even beings like him need luck, then he needs it even more. It seems he needs to pay more attention to the affairs of the Canglan Realm and try to acquire as much luck as possible.
Now that we've covered everything we needed to talk about, it's time to get down to business.
