Chapter 87 The Mature Woman's Tactics
Pan Jianbo quickly replied, "Yes, several sects in the cultivation world have sent people out, intending to gain some benefits at the auction. I've heard of three of them: the Seven Star Sect, the Breaking Heaven Gate, and the Ten Directions Hall."
"So many?" Zhuo Yang frowned slightly. The more people participating, the more likely it was that there would be good items at the auction. "No wonder Zhou Hanxiao came to me for help!"
"Who is Zhou Hanxiao?" Pan Jianbo scratched his head.
"Be careful not to get scammed by the person in charge of the southeast region of Longting if you encounter him in the future," Zhuo Yang warned.
Pan Jianbo tensed up immediately, and was even more shocked. He said ingratiatingly, "Master is really amazing. He has even made connections with the Southeast District Manager of Longting."
Feng Rong added, "It's obvious that Long Ting has something to ask of Master, not that Master has gotten involved with Long Ting!"
"Yes, yes, I misspoke!" Pan Jianbo's expression became even more ingratiating.
"Any other news?" Zhuo Yang nodded, accepting his disciple's flattery, and then asked, "I mean, the cultivator organizations that plan to participate in the auction."
Pan Jianbo thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Master, there's no news, but based on my more than ten years of experience in tomb raiding, the more sects and organizations participate in the auction, the greater the possibility of trouble. If you're going, please be very careful."
Zhuo Yang smiled faintly: "I understand. You must cultivate diligently and improve your cultivation level as soon as possible so that you can help me!"
Pan Jianbo and Feng Rong responded respectfully and then saw Zhuo Yang out of the tea restaurant.
Zhuo Yang returned to Villa No. 101, and as soon as he entered the house, his mother caught him and interrogated him.
"You're not young anymore, you're twenty-four! Other people's sons are this big, and your mom is already a grandma!"
"What kind of woman are you planning to marry? Someone as gentle and charming as Jiaxin, or someone as petite and cute as Xiaorou?"
"..."
Zhuo Yang was thoroughly annoyed and finally gave up under his mother's nagging. He had no choice but to use the excuse of disciplining... guiding Huang Jiaxin in her cultivation to hide in the woods behind the mountain, leaving Xiao Rou with his mother. Anyway, Xiao Rou had a good personality and could get along with his mother...
After helping Huang Jiaxin complete her Foundation Establishment, Zhuo Yang gave her the defensive bracelet.
Zhuo Yang originally intended to give the Xuan Yin Li Huo Fan to Ke'er, but her current cultivation level was too low, so the treasure would be useless to her. Giving it to Xiao Rou was also not an option, as her true essence was of the wood attribute, which was incompatible with the Xuan Yin Li Huo Fan. Therefore, Zhuo Yang had no choice but to keep it for himself.
Zhuo Yang temporarily kept the four bottles of medicinal essence and took the time to have Xiao Rou open Yuan Chen and Lang Chi's storage treasures, obtaining a lot of rare and precious materials.
Zhuo Yang also took some time to refine the two storage magic treasures to strengthen his Qiankun Bag, bringing it to a volume of over ten cubic meters, making it a spiritual artifact.
On the morning of the third day, just as dawn broke, the roar of helicopters woke up the entire Tombstone Hill.
Zhuoyang boarded the plane and flew directly to Nanmen City.
On a bright sunny morning, a pristine white cruise ship was docked at the deep-water pier, and tourists lined up to board. When the roar of a helicopter came from above, everyone looked up.
The helicopter landed directly at the pier, and Zhuo Yang, dressed in sportswear, jumped out of the plane, shocking most of the passengers.
"Is this guy some kind of nouveau riche?"
"Rich people just love to show off!"
"I look down on nouveau riche!"
"..."
The sound of the helicopter engine masked the passengers' disdain, but Zhuo Yang could still see it on their faces.
"I'm just doing this for convenience."
Not wanting to stoop to their level, Zhuo Yang joined the queue at the back of the line to wait to board the ship.
"Di Di..."
The phone rang, and Zhuo Yang took out his phone and turned it on. There were two messages from Zhou Hanxiao.
"Mission Intelligence: Five Chinese cultivation sects have been confirmed to be heading to the Perfume Cruise Ship. Three Golden Core stage experts have been identified, and at least fifteen Heartbeat stage experts have been identified. The foreign forces are unknown. There are three experts guarding the treasure, and two of them have been confirmed to be at the Golden Core stage!"
"Mission objective: Spirit Crystal Stones."
Spirit crystals are a specialty of the immortal realm, containing a massive amount of spiritual energy, which is a level higher than primordial energy. Primordial energy is no longer useful to immortals; immortals need the spiritual energy of the immortal realm to cultivate.
The spiritual power contained in a single spirit crystal is enough to enable a Golden Core cultivator in the mortal realm to form a Nascent Soul!
"It seems someone within the Dragon Court is about to form a Nascent Soul!"
Zhuo Yang understood, but his expression was very unpleasant.
Zhou Hanxiao had simply given him an impossible task: to steal the spirit crystal in front of six Golden Core stage experts. How was that even possible?
Zhuo Yang was only at the peak of the Heartbeat stage of cultivation...
"You really dare to use people like that!" Zhuo Yang gritted his teeth.
Golden Core stage experts are not as common as cabbages. Six Golden Core stage experts can wipe out the entire cultivator force of a small country, and even destroy the entire country's army.
The power to destroy a nation!
Zhuo Yang has already agreed to come and retrieve the treasure from Zhou Hanxiao, so he will definitely do it, no matter how difficult it is!
At this moment, three beautifully dressed, tall women surrounded Zhuo Yang.
"Hey handsome, traveling alone? My name is Zhang Lu." A beautiful woman with a cleavage showing off her chest asked Zhuo Yang with a charming smile.
Zhuo Yang nodded.
"Wow, you're not even bringing luggage?" Another beautiful woman widened her eyes, looked Zhuo Yang up and down, and covered her mouth to laugh. "Handsome, are you planning to buy everything you need on the ship?"
The last beautiful woman nudged her and laughed, "He's so wealthy, he doesn't bother with luggage, does he, handsome?"
Zhuo Yang then realized that his mother had nagged him before he left, and that he had forgotten to take the suitcase that Huang Jiaxin had prepared for him because he had rushed out in such a hurry.
"Hmm, I don't like trouble!" He chuckled dryly and continued queuing.
The three beautiful women all appeared to be models, with outgoing personalities and some spare cash; otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen a cruise trip, which costs at least 8,000 RMB per person.
When they saw that Zhuo Yang ignored them, they huddled around again, chattering and asking all sorts of questions about Zhuo Yang's identity, which annoyed him to no end.
"Zhuoyang!"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhuo Yang immediately smiled and turned around to look.
Cui Yi, accompanied by his four disciples and his cousin, arrived quickly with their luggage, as if they were going on a trip.
A beautiful figure broke away from the group and ran over quickly.
"Brother Zhuoyang, you want to go...play too!"
Su Hui's face flushed with excitement as she stood gracefully in front of Zhuo Yang.
"Same as you," Zhuo Yang said with a faint smile.
Her face flushed red, and Su Hui cupped her hands in her heart, completely smitten.
"Uncle with a herniated disc!"
Meng Xiaolong also rushed over, as excited as if he had just met his idol.
Then, a stunningly beautiful, mature woman dressed in leather jacket and pants, with an exaggerated figure, walked over, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.
"Zhuo Yang, long time no see!" Chen Guo took off her sunglasses, a slight smirk playing on her lips, exuding a cool and aloof air.
Her attitude was completely different; she reverted to the aloof and domineering image she had when she first met Zhuo Yang in Dazexiang.
Zhuo Yang responded with a smile.
This is the kind of Chen Guo that Zhuo Yang likes: not annoying, and preferably not clingy. It's best if everyone keeps their distance and can just be friends.
The next moment, Chen Guo glanced at them sideways and said coldly, "What are these three women doing?"
Zhuo Yang's brow twitched. What was this girl up to now?
The three women who were clinging to Zhuo Yang felt looked down upon after being swept away by Chen Guo's powerful aura.
