I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master - Chapter 124
Chapter 124: Understanding the Profound Meaning Behind Senior Liu’s Words. As Expected of Me!
Zhao Li could not help but be delighted. He said repeatedly, “Excellent. In this way, Young Miss will get what she wants. It will be easier to explain things to Master.”
Yu Hongye said bitterly, “But, it’s not free. Senior Liu’s request is something that I can’t figure out.”
Zhao Li asked curiously, “What request did Senior Liu ask for?”
Yu Hongye frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said, “Senior Liu said he wanted spirit stones, but he didn’t say the exact number.”
“Spirit stones?”
Elder Zhao was stunned when he heard Liu Changgong’s request. He asked in surprise, “How could a peerless expert like Senior Liu, who has extraordinary hands and eyes, like an immortal descending to the mortal world, be short of spirit stones?”
“You’re right.” Yu Hongye sighed with emotion. “I think so too. Senior Liu must have his own reasons for making such a request.”
“If I can guess his intentions, I’ll be able to cater to his interests. From then on, I’ll be able to hold enough weight in his heart.”
After Yu Hongye finished speaking, she asked seriously, “Elder Zhao, how many supreme-grade spirit stones do we still have in the warehouse of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets?”
Elder Zhao replied:
“Recently, the Master has been searching for some strange treasures and spent a lot of spirit stones. However, I think the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets still has 200 million in liquid funds.”
“200 million…”
Yu Hongye was not satisfied. She frowned and said, “With only this little, I’m afraid it’s not enough…”
“Wait!”
Yu Hongye suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She seemed to have remembered something, and she covered her head in thought.
A moment later, she said in a hurry, “Elder Zhao, repeat what you said just now!”
Elder Zhao was stunned and answered subconsciously:
“Recently, the Master has been searching for some strange treasures and spent a lot of spirit stones…”
“No, the last sentence!”
“How could a peerless master like Senior Liu, who has extraordinary hands and eyes, like an immortal descending to the mortal world, be short of spirit stones?”
“Yes, yes, that’s it!” Yu Hongye was so excited that she almost broke her voice. “I’ve racked my brains and finally figured out what Senior Liu wants.”
“An immortal like Senior Liu obviously doesn’t need any spirit stones. What he wants is definitely Immortal Jade! Only Immortal Jade that contains Immortal Qi is useful to him.”
Yu Hongye’s face blossomed with an unprecedentedly bright smile, which shocked Zhao Li so much that he couldn’t help but look sideways.
Ever since Yu Hongye took over as the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, in order to establish his prestige, she refused to show a smile and kept a straight face. She had never smiled as happily as she did now.
Zhao Li thought:
‘After all, Miss is only a child.’
Thinking of this, Zhao Li smiled with relief.
Yu Hongye immediately ordered:
“Elder Zhao, immediately investigate how much Immortal Jade is left in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets’ inventory!”
“I remember that there was quite a lot of Immortal Jade in the ancient ruins last time. If the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets doesn’t have enough Immortal Jade, then go and buy some Immortal Jade from itinerant cultivators.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Zhao Li replied respectfully, then summoned his flying boat and prepared to return to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
Yu Hongye was still immersed in the joy of figuring out the profound meaning behind Liu Changgong’s words.
Her smile was like a flower. With a ‘pa’ sound, she took out her folding fan, shook it symbolically a few times, and then proudly shook her head.
“As expected of me! Only I, Yu Hongye, can figure out the profound meaning behind Senior Liu’s words so quickly. Fortunately, I have outstanding intelligence. Otherwise, I would foolishly think that Senior Liu only wants spirit stones.”
…
A table had been set up under the old peach tree in the Immortal’s Destiny courtyard.
On the table was a piece of rice paper.
Brush, ink, paper, and Inkstone. The four treasures of the study had been prepared.
Speaking of which, ever since Liu Changgong had teleported back from Danxia Holy Land, it had been a long time since he had started drawing.
Previously, he had been worried about Xia’er’s health.
After Yu Hongye gave her some Heavenly treasures, Xia’er’s health was basically fine.
Liu Changgong then took some time to paint for Yu Hongye.
Qi’er stepped on the small wooden stool and obediently ground the ink for Liu Changgong.
Xia’er held a handkerchief in her hand and wiped it for Liu Changgong at any time.
The little fox lay on Liu Changgong’s lap and felt the Daoist charm on Liu Changgong’s body. It felt extremely refreshing.
Even the little red bird, which had turned into a phoenix and was as proud as it was, flew down from the old peach tree and landed on Liu Changgong’s shoulder. It silently watched Liu Changgong paint.
Liu Changgong was thinking about drawing, and he didn’t put pen to paper for a long time.
The most important thing in drawing mountains and rivers was to finish it in one go, and he had a plan in mind.
He wouldn’t put pen to paper until he was sure what to draw.
“Immortal cultivation families work in business, and their momentum is magnificent…”
“What do cultivators want?”
“Cultivators naturally pursue the Supreme Great Dao. They can turn mortals into Immortals and live as long as the Heavens!”
“In that case, I’ll give her a Heavenly Court!”
…
Somewhere in the Southern Domain.
Under the blue sky.
A flying boat was flying at an extremely fast speed.
The flying boat was very huge, like a huge mountain. Its entire body was emitting the brilliance of colorful gemstones. At a glance, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
The head of the flying boat was engraved with a picture of a phoenix.
In the picture, there was a picture of a strange bird that was bathed in flames. It was very eye-catching.
The phoenix rose from the ashes.
If a cultivator who was familiar with the cultivation world was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the identity of this flying boat.
This was the flying boat of the Li family of Nirvana City, which was currently in the limelight in the Southern Region.
Last time, the phoenix that was summoned by Liu Changgong to find a place to stay flew to the Li family of Nirvana City and took a piece of the Li family’s treasured parasol branch.
Ever since the Li family was blessed by the phoenix, their fate had changed.
The Li family went from a humble family to a first-class family in the Southern Region.
The patriarch of the Li family broke through to the middle stage of the Dharma Idol realm, which he had been stuck at for many years. He became one of the few warriors in the Dharma Idol realm in the Southern Region.
The younger disciples of the Li family who went out for training had many fortuitous encounters.
To thank the phoenix for bringing them good fortune, the Li family changed their family emblem to the phoenix style.
The flying boat of the Li family disappeared into the clouds.
At the front of the deck of the flying boat, a young man dressed in a red robe who practiced fire-type cultivation techniques stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the magnificent mountains and rivers below the flying boat.
Not long after, a towering mountain appeared in his field of vision.
It towered into the clouds.
The speed of the flying boat also slowed down.
The lean young man standing at the front of the flying boat also trembled.
His pupils constricted as he shouted loudly, “What are the people driving the airboat doing? If they can’t do it, they can just change people!”
At this time, a cultivator rushed to the front of the young man from the airboat, dripping with sweat, and reported, “Young Master, another high mountain has appeared in front of us. If we don’t slow down, we might be separated by a shallow layer.”
The lean young man’s heart shook, and he said in a deep voice, “Got it. Raise the altitude of the airboat, change the course, and go around the side of the high mountain!”
“Yes, Sir.”
The cultivator nodded and retreated back to the cockpit in fear.
There was nothing they could do.
The cultivator was also helpless.
A few days ago, their airboat was flying steadily in the sky. A towering mountain suddenly burst into flames, and then the entire mountain was turned into flat ground.
One of the crew members on the airboat was burned to ashes just by touching a small spark.
The fire could not be put out.
It was extremely terrifying.
Therefore, in the next few days, every time their airboat passed through a similar high mountain, they would feel uneasy, afraid of repeating the same mistake.
The fire was simply too strange. Without any warning, it suddenly descended.
It was like a Heavenly fire.
If the fire directly ignited on the airboat, the consequences would be unimaginable.
