Chapter 5101 Good Intentions
With a determined look in her eyes, Su Yuwei bowed solemnly and said, "Yuwei will do her utmost to live up to your expectations, senior!"
Seeing this, Fu Yunxiu laughed heartily, in a great mood.
“Good! If you can gain a beloved disciple, that would be a great thing, and a joyous occasion for the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce. Yuwei, if you need to forge weapons, you can get any materials, facilities, or even assistants you require directly from the Chamber of Commerce, or just tell me. All the bills can be put on my tab.”
"Although I don't know anything about weapon crafting, I do have some financial resources. If I can help a future Supreme Divine Master and make a good connection, then I will have done a great deed!"
On the Tianxuan Terrace, a gentle breeze stirred, lifting a few strands of hair. Gratitude shone in Su Yuwei's watery eyes as she slightly curtsied and gracefully bowed to Fu Yunxiu.
"Yuwei thanks Your Highness!" Her voice was clear and melodious, like a fragrant orchid in a secluded valley.
"Haha, no need for formalities!" Fu Yunxiu laughed heartily, waving his hand casually. His noble air as a prince and his shrewdness as a merchant were revealed unintentionally.
His generosity wasn't simply out of consideration for Su Bai; he wasn't just making things easy for Su Yuwei. As the head of the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, he had a sharp eye and never made a losing deal.
In fact, over the years, in order to curry favor with the eccentric and holy master, Master Huangshi, he had gone to great lengths to find promising talents and send them over. But without exception, none of those so-called "geniuses" had ever received the same look from Master Huangshi as he had when he looked at Su Yuwei.
It was a gaze that regarded something as unpolished as a piece of jade.
Su Yuwei was the first.
The implications are self-evident. Su Yuwei not only has a very high probability of becoming Master Huangshi's disciple, but she might even become his sole successor!
Once she receives all the teachings from Master Huangshi, and with the abundant resources of the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, Su Yuwei is very likely to become the next generation of Supreme Divine Master!
Making a future supreme master owe you a favor when you are still insignificant is definitely a highly profitable and extremely worthwhile deal.
Even if she couldn't become a Supreme Divine Master, a top-tier weapon forger capable of independently forging supreme divine artifacts would still have extremely high strategic value for Fu Yunxiu in this world where magical treasures are revered.
After dealing with Su Yuwei's matter, Fu Yunxiu turned to look at Luo Yunsheng, who had been sitting quietly to the side, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"Why did Immortal Venerable Langhuan request to personally escort the person to the Wind and Thunder Realm Forest? Such a trivial matter could have been handled by simply sending a Heavenly King to escort them. Why bother with your presence?"
Luo Yunsheng was sitting in a wicker chair next to Su Bai, her posture languid. Her long, slender, white fingers were casually playing with the black hair that fell to her chest, looking relaxed and carefree. She did not remove her mask, but her phoenix eyes, which were exposed, revealed an imposing aura that made people afraid to look directly at her.
Upon hearing Fu Yunxiu's question, she paused slightly and said calmly, "The Venerable One is a Supreme Divine Master who has forged three national treasures for the Great Wilderness. In terms of status and merit, few can compare. Now that the Demon Kingdom is making frequent moves, I am worried. Naturally, I must personally deliver it to ensure his safety to the greatest extent. If anything goes wrong, I cannot bear the responsibility."
The Venerable Huangshi, standing to the side, also clasped his hands and smiled, saying, "With the personal escort of Immortal Venerable Langhuan, I have indeed felt extremely safe throughout this journey, and I have slept more soundly than usual. It seems that without the emergence of Immortal Realm cultivators, there is no one in this world who can harm this old bone of mine at the hands of Immortal Venerable Langhuan!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yunsheng chuckled, his tone carrying a somewhat enigmatic meaning: "There are some. However, that person is now on our side!"
As she spoke, Luo Yunsheng gave Su Bai a half-smile, a look that only Su Bai could understand.
In the realm of immortality, the proud and arrogant Luo Yunsheng only acknowledges one person as having the ability to suppress her, and that is Su Bai.
Even the arrogant White-Haunted Demon Lord was at most a challenge for her, someone she couldn't defeat. Being suppressed? In her opinion, that was highly unlikely.
Master Huangshi laughed heartily upon hearing this, taking it as a joke from a young man.
Fu Yunxiu, with his meticulous mind, naturally had some doubts about Luo Yunsheng's answer. Would a dignified Heavenly King really only be escorting a mere weapon refiner? But he was a smart man and knew that some things were better left unsaid, so he didn't ask any further questions.
......
After settling Su Yuwei in, Su Bai applied for an independent forging workshop for her in the most central area of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. It was fully equipped with all kinds of top-grade fire sources and rare ores, enough for her to focus on studying the art of forging without any distractions.
Afterwards, Su Bai took Luo Yunsheng back to his territory—Red Dust Star.
Despite its name, Red Dust Star is no ordinary place; rather, it is a cultivation secret realm meticulously crafted by Su Bai. The entire planet is shrouded in layers upon layers of grand formations, and its outer perimeter is riddled with spatial rifts and sword energy traps.
Luo Yunsheng stood with his hands behind his back in front of Su Bai's dojo, observing the subtle yet powerful fluctuations of the restrictions around him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"The aura of restriction is strong, and it combines the ultimate laws of space and swordsmanship. It seems that Junior Brother has quite a few secrets. Even on his own territory, he is so cautious. He is indeed a person who will do great things," Luo Yunsheng teased.
Su Bai smiled and shook his head, casually casting a spell to open the gates of the Daoist temple: "When traveling the martial world, if you don't have some secrets to protect yourself, you'll have died countless times already. Besides, who doesn't have their own secrets? Senior Sister, don't you also have some earth-shattering secrets that you can't let others know?"
Luo Yunsheng smiled noncommittally, offering no rebuttal. Her identity was indeed the biggest secret.
The two entered the temple and sat down in a quiet courtyard.
"There's less than a year left before the window for the Ancestral Treasury to open." Luo Yunsheng suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously, "Time is of the essence, we must make thorough preparations."
Su Bai nodded and asked, "Where is Miss Yun You? Didn't she come with you, Senior Sister? Her Heavenly Secret Eye is indispensable for opening the secret vault."
Luo Yunsheng pointed to his brow and said, "My sister is in seclusion in my divine realm, and she has put in a lot of effort to deduce the secrets of heaven last time. Very few people know that she left Taihuang, so it is best not to let others know to avoid any complications."
Su Bai nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
After a moment of silence, Luo Yunsheng suddenly raised her head, her bright eyes staring directly at Su Bai, a light of longing gleaming in them.
"Junior brother, could you let me observe the ultimate Dao patterns of power?"
"Of course!" Su Bai agreed without hesitation.
The ultimate Dao pattern of power originated from the Human Emperor's legacy, a supreme treasure belonging to the Human Emperor's lineage. Luo Yunsheng is a direct descendant of the Human Emperor. Although Su Bai received the inheritance, he was merely acting as a custodian. How could he possibly keep such a valuable treasure to himself?
"Come with me."
Su Bai stood up and led Luo Yunsheng into a secret room deep inside the dojo.
This is where Su Bai usually secludes himself to cultivate and comprehend the Dao. The surrounding walls are covered with various profound runes, which can prevent any aura from leaking out.
Su Bai sat down cross-legged, preparing to demonstrate the inscription of the ultimate Dao patterns of power.
However, this ultimate Dao pattern is extremely domineering, and ordinary objects simply cannot bear its power. Forcibly inscribing it will only cause the carrier to collapse.
Luo Yunsheng was clearly prepared. With a flick of her wrist, a long spear, entirely silver-white and radiating a sharp, cold light, appeared in her hand.
This silver spear is a genuine masterpiece, with faint spatial laws flowing across its blade, clearly indicating its extraordinary nature. The ability to withstand the ultimate Dao patterns is naturally not a problem.
She handed the silver spear to Su Bai, her eyes full of anticipation.
Su Bai took the silver spear, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind of distractions. He extended his sword finger, and a golden divine light condensed at his fingertip—the embodiment of the Law of Power.
He began to slowly sketch on the gun.
Each stroke felt incredibly heavy, and the silver spear hummed as if it were under immense pressure.
Luo Yunsheng watched intently from the side, leaning very close, almost touching Su Bai. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, and her phoenix eyes were bright and focused, staring intently at every movement of Su Bai's fingertips, unwilling to miss any detail.
Because they were so close, Su Bai could clearly feel the faint fragrance emanating from Luo Yunsheng, as well as her slightly rapid breathing. The warm breath on his neck made him feel a little strange.
However, Su Bai possessed exceptional composure and quickly regained his focus, concentrating intently on meticulously carving the intricate and profound Dao patterns.
Half an hour later.
As the final stroke was completed, the entire Dao pattern seemed to come alive, radiating a dazzling golden light.
"It's done."
Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief and handed the silver spear back to Luo Yunsheng.
Luo Yunsheng eagerly took the spear, his fingertips gently stroking the newly carved Dao pattern of ultimate power, feeling the terrifying power contained within it that seemed capable of shattering the vacuum.
She tried to mobilize the divine power within her body and inject it into the Dao pattern, hoping to activate its power.
However, no matter how she tried, the rune, though shimmering with light, could not resonate with her divine power and ultimately ended in failure.
“As expected…” Luo Yunsheng sighed, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. “This ultimate Dao pattern of power is exceptionally domineering. It seems that only those who personally inscribe it and truly comprehend its essence can use it.”
Su Bai shook his head and corrected, "It's not just that. To truly master it, one must inscribe powerful Dao patterns on one's divine bones, meridians, and divine realm, forming a complete cyclical system, in order to mobilize the power of these Dao patterns. Otherwise, even if it's on a weapon, it won't be able to unleash its true power."
