The Supreme Lord Donghuang - Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Golden Essence Elder of Divine Light Sect

On his return from the Divine Light Empire to the Valley of Medicine Masters, before he returned to the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley, Zhou Donghuang had made another trip to the black market to order a portion of spirit stones. Then, the manager of the black market, the third elder of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Ku, was not present as he had returned to the sect.

The other elders managing the black market were well aware of Zhou Donghuang’s formidable strength and were afraid that he would not sell the spirit weapon to the Divine Light Sect. As a result, they had not only displayed all the spirit stones in the warehouse to Zhou Donghuang, but had even given up their own spirit stones to him. Because of that, when Zhou Donghuang returned, besides the one thousand spirit stones of which he had already used half, he had gained another one thousand perfect spirit stones.

Out of the one thousand spirit stones, Zhou Donghuang kept a portion for himself and gave the rest to Su Mo, Lin Lan, Yun Lu, Yang Zixi and the rest, so that they could use it to further enhance their speed of practice. After all, they had run out of the Buddhist essence to aid them.

“Mother, I need to make another trip to the Divine Light Empire… after I get what I need, I will come back to the Valley of Medicine Masters.” After bidding farewell to Lin Lan, Zhou Donghuang made his way on the golden-crowned eagle, Big Gold, to leave the Valley of Medicine Masters towards the Divine Light Empire…

This time, his goal was to sell his inferior spirit weapon in his hands to the Divine Light Sect. After he had collected the fifty thousand spirit stones from the sect, he planned to return to the Valley of Medicine Masters for a period of time to continue improving himself.

Now, by utilizing the superior Primal Core spirit weapon, there was no one under the Golden Essence that was his match. However, if he was pitted against a Golden Essence adept, he would find it challenging to match him.

Of course, on his way on the back of the golden-crowned eagle, Big Gold, Zhou Donghuang did not idle the time away but spent his time practicing with all his focus.

It was only when they were nearing the Divine Light Empire and reached the sky above the black market did he stop his practice.

“Big Gold, just wait for me here.” After calling out to Big Gold, Zhou Donghuang leaped off and entered the black market.

This time, in the black market, Zhou Donghuang saw not only Tuo Ku, the third elder of the Divine Light Sect, but also an old man whom even Tuo Ku was respectful in front of.

“Young Master Donghuang, this is my senior, Ci Xuan,” introduced Tuo Ku.

The old monk was in a golden robe, his bald head dotted with twelve circles. He was originally meditating with his eyes closed, but upon hearing Tuo Ku, his eyes opened suddenly. Although he looked kind and gentle, one could sense the oppressive aura that radiated from him.

“Indeed a Golden Essence adept.” Seeing Tuo Ku treat the old monk so respectfully, Zhou Donghuang had already guessed that the man could be the Golden Essence adept from the Divine Light Sect. Now, sensing the aura that was radiating from the man, Zhou Donghuang confirmed it.

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded calmly in response to Tuo Ku’s introduction, as if completely unaware of Ci Xuan’s intense gaze on him as if he was trying to see through him. Zhou Donghuang looked unfazed, his expression unchanged.

Zhou Donghuang’s behavior seemed even more mysterious to the eyes of the old Golden Essence Elder of the Divine Light Sect.

“Sir, please do not think that our sect is over-reacting.” Ci Xuan’s wrinkled face squeezed out an ugly smile. “After all, trades concerning a few thousand spirit stones must be treated with caution.”

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded once again. With a wave of his hand, the exquisite hill that Tuo Ku had seen previously now appeared again. His inner Yuan brought it before Ci Xuan, allowing him to reach out to feel it.

“Indeed a spirit weapon.” After testing the exquisite hill, Ci Xuan’s eyes which were previously dark now shone with a bright light. His old face seemed shaken.

Although he was the Golden Essence Elder of the Divine Light Sect, in the whole sect, there was just one spirit weapon in the hands of his senior, another Golden Essence adept… if this spirit weapon landed in the sect, it would definitely be his to own. In the whole sect, only he was worthy of owning the second spirit weapon.

“The spirit stones?” reminded Zhou Donghuang, seeing Ci Xuan’s attention fully drawn by the spirit weapon.

Ci Xuan then reluctantly let go of the spirit weapon in his hands and handed a space ring floating in the air to Zhou Donghuang.

“Sir, this contains fifty thousand spirit stones of the Divine Light Sect. As for the thousand spirit stones that you had ordered previously, consider it as a gift from us… also, this space ring that is worth ten thousand spirit stones, please take it as a gift from us.” An ordinary space ring could not contain fifty thousand spirit stones.

Hence, the space ring that Ci Xuan was now offering was a superior space ring that was extremely valuable. The material used to forge such a ring was far superior than that used for an ordinary space ring. Of course, in the eyes of Zhou Donghuang, using such high-quality rock to produce a space ring of such quality was blasphemous. If he took the space ring and forged it again, he could definitely produce a space ring of higher quality.

“I, Zhou Donghuang, do not like to owe favors.” Zhou Donghuang kept the space ring, then retrieved a pen and paper from his own space ring. On the paper, he wrote down a list of materials, then wrapped the paper in his inner Yuan and sent it to Ci Yuan. “As long as you prepare the materials here… the next time that I come to the black market, I can help to forge another spirit weapon for the sect.”Read latest chapters at vipnovel.com

Boom!!

Zhou Donghuang’s words resounded like a clap of lightning in the ears of Ci Xuan and Tuo Ku, leaving them stunned. They took a moment to recover.

“Sir… you mean to say that you can forge weapons?” Ci Xuan recovered first and breathed in deeply. When he looked at Zhou Donghuang, his eyes were filled with shock.

This young man who looked barely twenty years of age had the ability to forge spirit weapons? In the whole Ziyun planet, not a single person could produce a spirit weapon. Even the only two spirit weapons on the planet were from sources outside of the planet, and not produced by a native adept. And now, this man was claiming that he could produce spirit weapons.

Tuo Ku looked at Zhou Donghuang as if he had seen a ghost.

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded calmly. “Search for these materials carefully… the next time that I am here, if you can produce all of these, I can produce a spirit weapon for you. If you cannot produce them by the next time that I arrive, then forget it.” With that, Zhou Donghuang turned and left without another word.

It was only after his figure had disappeared in the distance that the two of them recovered from their shock. They looked at each other in utter disbelief.

“Tuo Ku… do you think… he really can produce a spirit weapon?” asked Ci Xuan.

“Senior,” laughed Tuo Ku bitterly. “I think you must have an answer of your own?” Of course, regardless of that… I don’t think he is lying. He must be able to produce a spirit weapon himself, otherwise he would not dare to make such a claim.”

Although he had not interacted much with the young man, Tuo Ku was well aware that he was no ordinary man. Furthermore, seeing the formula for the qi-gathering elixir that the man had produced previously, he could tell that he was extremely capable. Of course, it would be no surprise if he could forge weapons.

“I shall return to the sect immediately and inform our leader of this, so that he can make the order to procure these materials as soon as possible.” Just as Tuo Ku had thought, Ci Xuan had an answer of his own.

This time, Ci Xuan had left the sect to follow Tuo Ku to the black market to not only ensure that the trade went smoothly, but also to test the young man who had produced the spirit weapon.

Although it was their first encounter, the young man had still been calm and composed, which made him realize that the young man was definitely not any ordinary person. This man was one that the Divine Light Sect ought not to offend if possible.

But what surprised him was that he had underestimated the young man. He had the ability to produce spirit weapons. He believed him, but even if he did not, as long as there was a chance for the Divine Light Sect to obtain their third spirit weapon, he had to seize the chance, and not let it slip away.

…

“Big Gold, back to the Valley of Medicine Masters!” After getting the fifty thousand spirit stones, Zhou Donghuang did not linger any longer in the Divine Light Empire, and he ordered the Big Gold to return straight away.

After returning to the Valley, he would shut himself away for a long period of time. The fifty thousand spirit stones were enough to lay out a massive formation for him to gather spirit energy. Its effect would be far stronger than those created by a thousand spirit stones.

“After this round… it’ll be about time for me to leave Ziyun planet.” To Zhou Donghuang, Ziyun planet was like Earth in his previous life—too small. It could only serve as his starting point, but was too small for him… he could only showcase himself entirely in the vast universe beyond.

May 25, 1231 of the Ziyun Era, Zhou Donghuang returned to the Valley of Medicine Masters and set up a huge formation to gather spirit energy within the small, beautifully adorned valley for him and those around him to practice.

“What strong energy!”

“My goodness! What is this? Young Master, you are really like a god!”

“Practicing here… before long, I will be able to reach the Connate stage and become a Connate adept!”

…

After laying out the energy-gathering formation, the environment in the Valley was transformed. Fu, Freezing Wind and the rest all felt it, and even the oldest, Lu Qinghu, seemed to turn into a child, screaming with glee.

But Zhou Donghuang had already walked into the wooden cabin that Su Mo had personally built for him and had begun to practice in silence, unconcerned by all that was happening outside the window.
