Chapter 301: Chapter 70: The Final Trade_1

At this moment, Lu Yuansheng was not at the East Saint’s station.

However, Wang Ba was puzzled, because the direction Bai Yu was flying him was not towards Zhongyuan City either.

Wang Ba observed Bai Yu’s figure, with his gaze flickering uncontrollably.

He could not help but feel a sense of caution in his heart.

His mana silently circulated, ready to unleash the Five Elements Spell at any time.

Even though he and Bai Yu were quite familiar, even with considerable care.

But his heart was always vigilant, Wang Ba was always careful not to forget this.

Over the years, he had seen too much of the duplicity that was one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.

However, soon enough-

Bai Yu slowed down and landed in front of a waterfall.

On a high platform in front of the waterfall, there were two figures sitting on both sides of a stone platform, facing each other in a game.

One of them, with a handsome face, was naturally Lu Yuansheng.

The other one, who seemed familiar to Wang Ba, quickly came to his senses.

This person was Cheng Shu, who had been able to cultivate a Class II top-grade Spirit Chicken.

Wang Ba didn’t have much interaction with Cheng Shu, he had just occasionally met him when he had met Lu Yuansheng before.

However, he always aspired to be like Cheng Shu.

Unlike him who mostly cultivated Spirit Chickens through means of Lifespan Breakthroughs, Cheng Shu had genuinely done it on his own.

For talents, Wang Ba always had deep respect.

However, since Lu Yuansheng was still there, he didn’t dare to overstep his bounds and followed Bai Yu respectfully to their side.

The two were playing something similar to Go, which Wang Ba didn’t understand much, he just stood by and watched.

However, the two playing the game were quite engrossed.

Clearly, Cheng Shu was superior at it. In no time, all of Lu Yuansheng’s pieces on the board were surrounded and immobile.

Lu Yuansheng frowned and thought for a while, and eventually shook his head, casually threw down his own piece.

With a look of helplessness:

“It seems I have lost this round.”

“Cheng, your game skills have improved again!”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shu was quick to be modest, “Not at all. Elder has just not been focusing on the game.”

Lu Yuansheng simply smiled without saying anything, and then as if he just noticed Wang Ba, looked surprised:

“Huh, Wang Ba, when did you get here?”

“Just now, just now.”

Wang Ba quickly bowed, laughing embarrassedly.

Inwardly, he had no choice but to be speechless at Lu Yuansheng’s pretense.

As a Golden Core cultivator, could anyone really hide from his perception?

He also didn’t understand the intention behind this pretension.

Lu Yuansheng, unaware of Wang Ba’s thoughts, pointed at Wang Ba and said to Cheng Shu with a smile:

“Hehe, Cheng, come, let me introduce you. This is Wang Ba. He’s young, but he’s also cultivated a Class II top-grade Spirit Chicken in about the same time as you. He’s a rare young talent of our Tianmen Cult. You two should certainly get to know each other better.”

Upon hearing Lu Yuansheng’s words, Cheng Shu was momentarily stunned and looked at Wang Ba with some surprise.

However, inside of him he felt somewhat uneasy.

Coughing awkwardly he said:

“Ahem, it turns out to be Brother Wang. I apologize for my ignorance.”

“Not at all, your ability to cultivate Spirit Chickens is well known and greatly admired by me. If there is an opportunity, I hope you can give me some guidance!”

Wang Ba also quickly returned the salute and expressed his goodwill towards him.

However, he wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt his gaze avoiding eye contact, like he didn’t dare to look at him directly.

“Must be my imagination.”

Wang Ba thought in his heart.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuansheng smiled and glanced at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu understood the hint and promptly departed.

Seeing Bai Yu leaving, Lu Yuansheng casually picked up a black piece and started playing with it before getting straight to the point:

“The reason I called you two here is simple. To deal with the remnants of the East Saint Sect, we need to cultivate a third class Spirit Chicken that can bear the divine beast of Fanming.”

“I want to ask both of you, is it possible to achieve this within half a year?”

“Half a year?”

The two men who heard Lu Yuansheng’s question both couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

The reactions of Cheng Shu and Wang Ba were not the same.

Cheng Shu’s face was filled with the disbelief while Wang Ba was serious.

Undisturbed, Lu Yuansheng glanced over their reactions and inquired:

“What, is there a difficulty?”

He turned his gaze to Cheng Shu: “Cheng, what do you think, is it possible to cultivate a Class III Spirit Chicken in half a year?”

“Absolutely not!”

Cheng Shu decisively declared.

Even though his ability to cultivate Spirit Chickens included quite a lot of shortcuts, he had a solid grasp on the basic knowledge.

Class III and Class II are completely different realms. Wanting to cultivate a Class II top grade Spirit Chicken to Class III is as hard as a triple Spiritual Root Foundation Establishment practitioner advancing to the Golden Core Realm.

The chances of success are one in ten thousand.

Configuring and adjusting various spirit materials and Spiritual Medicine alone requires a lot of time for trials.

In just a short half year, it was impossible!

So even if he felt very uneasy now, he was more brazen, calm, and confident than ever before.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuansheng chuckled, suddenly stood up, and astonishingly like a man of valour of the mortal world, he abruptly picked up the Mysterious Iron Go board on the stone platform and smashed it fiercely towards Cheng Shu who hadn’t reacted yet!

Cheng Shu had wide eyes and a dumbfounded look on his face, without any chance to react.

The Mysterious Iron Go board had already heavily smashed into his head.

Under the suppression of the Golden Core mana, in just a few hits, Cheng Shu, as if he was just a mortal, was beaten into silence.

“Bang!”

The Mysterious Iron Go board was thrown to the ground.

Shattered rocks scattered in all directions.

“Sigh——”

Lu Yuansheng took a long breath, then straightened his sleeves and tucked a strand of hair behind his ear.
