Chapter 327: Chapter 327 Hidden Sect Exchange Conference

It was already three o’clock in the morning when Su Luo, holding the Remnant Volume of "Overlord Blade", delved into researching it for several hours. By the time he regained his awareness, it was already past eight in the morning.

A smile appeared on his face.

"I never thought that the Overlord Blade Remnant Volume Aunt Shen brought, with its discussion of blade intent, would actually be quite useful to me,"

Su Luo muttered to himself.

He was not a blade user, but to some extent, the intent of the blade and the intent of the sword were interconnected.

The domineering blade intent discussed in the Remnant Volume of "Overlord Blade" proved to be highly beneficial to Su Luo. Even if the techniques within didn’t seem extremely exquisite, the essence of this blade method was dominance, an unstoppable momentum. A domineering blade intent did not require overly sophisticated techniques.

"Although it’s not the complete version of "Overlord Blade", just a remnant, it is more than enough for me!"

He merely needed to comprehend the blade intent within.

After that.

Su Luo’s Divine Sense made an exploratory sweep towards the floor where the people from Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce were staying. He didn’t probe into the rooms of Fan Lichun and Aunt Shen, but into Chen Chen’s room.

His Divine Sense was far stronger than Chen Chen’s, and even upon probing, he would not be detected.

"No one’s there?"

However, Chen Chen’s room was empty.

Only then did Su Luo’s Divine Sense move towards Aunt Shen’s room.

Completely empty as well!

"It seems that Aunt Shen and her group have already left."

Su Luo did not delay further. He directly consumed a Fasting Pill, checked out of the hotel, and left for the location of the Hidden Sect exchange meeting.

The day before.

He had already learned the precise location of the Hidden Sect exchange from Huang Qingyu.

It was to be held in a temple called "Lotus Heart Temple."

The Lotus Heart Temple was located in the suburbs.

When Su Luo arrived there by taxi, he discovered that it was the weekend and the "Lotus Heart Temple" was quite crowded with worshippers, who lined up early to burn incense and pray.

"The Buddha does not ferry people, people ferry themselves!"

Su Luo found himself thinking of a phrase.

Once, before he was a Cultivator, he did not believe in such things.

Now that he was a Cultivator, challenging the heavens and seeking the Dao, he believed in them even less.

Fate, only when held in one’s own hands, is the ultimate truth.

However.

With so many worshippers coming and going at Lotus Heart Temple... how was the Hidden Sect exchange meeting being held? And where?

"Mr. Su."

Just as Su Luo was entering Lotus Heart Temple and using his Divine Sense to search around, a voice sounded.

Su Luo turned to look and saw Huang Qingyu approaching quickly.

"How did you know I was here?" Su Luo asked.

Huang Qingyu hurriedly replied, "Mr. Su, knowing that you were coming to the Hidden Sect exchange, I was worried you couldn’t find the place, so I waited here in advance."

"Thank you for that," Su Luo nodded in acknowledgment. Huang Qingyu seemed quite helpful now.

After that, Huang Qingyu led Su Luo through several Buddha halls and courtyards towards the depths of Lotus Heart Temple, finally arriving in front of a large gate.

"We are here to participate in the Hidden Sect exchange meeting."

Huang Qingyu stated, also revealing the aura of a Grandmaster.

The two novice monks guarding the gate immediately bowed respectfully and opened the gate.

Passing through the courtyard gate.

Su Luo suddenly felt as if he had entered a completely different world.

Just moments ago, the surroundings were filled with pilgrims seeking blessings from the gods, and one could hear the temple bells, the bustling of the crowd, but once through the temple gate, all that noise simply vanished.

Before him lay a market of sorts.

There were quite a few stalls.

The hustle and bustle was present as well, but unlike the disorderly clamor of an ordinary market, it was well-ordered and not noisy.

"Who are these people running the stalls?"

Su Luo asked Huang Qingyu.

"Mostly, they’re from the Hidden Sect, to be precise, those from the Outer Hidden Sect. They display whatever they can exchange, seeking what they need in return. A small portion are from the outside world, like the people at that stall over there, I know them, they’re from the Zhang Family in Bashu."

Huang Qingyu explained.

Su Luo nodded.

The Zhang Family from Bashu, he knew them, a long-standing Martial Arts Family within the nation, a very powerful presence in the entire southwestern region.

"However, in comparison, I’m a bit more familiar with the Outer Hidden Sect," Huang Qingyu added.

Su Luo understood; after all, Huang Qingyu was an Elder of the Medicine God Temple, which itself was one of the Hidden Sects. Even though they had recently increased their contact with the outside world over the last few decades, their understanding of it was still limited.

Especially since Huang Qingyu was not responsible for intelligence but a pill master.

"Help me look around to see if there’s any Hidden Sect similar to a Taoist temple, or if there’s anyone wearing Taoist robes," Su Luo immediately said.

One very important purpose of his visit to this Hidden Sect Exchange Conference was to see if he could find a Hidden Sect resembling a Taoist temple, to trace Xia Yi and her daughter’s whereabouts.

Just yesterday, he had inquired Huang Qingyu about it, but Huang had no contact with such a Hidden Sect and did not know.

Su Luo had no choice but to pin his hopes on the Hidden Sect Exchange Conference.

"Alright," Huang Qingyu responded.

Subsequently, Su Luo and Huang Qingyu split up, roaming around the Hidden Sect Exchange Conference.

Though it was called an Exchange Conference, it wasn’t about exchanging ideas and sparring as Su Luo had imagined. Instead, it leaned more towards bartering, each participant seeking what they needed.

Su Luo thought, perhaps calling it the Hidden Sect Trade Fair might be more appropriate.

"I wonder if Aunt Shen and the others are here as well?"

While wandering around the event, Su Luo also contemplated this matter.

According to Zhao Jingwu, the folks from Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce came here not only for the Dongsheng Auction House but also for the Hidden Sect Exchange Conference.

However, after looking around, Su Luo did not spot anyone in Taoist robes, nor did he find Aunt Shen or anyone from the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce.

"Mr. Su, I have looked everywhere and even asked around, but I haven’t found anyone from the Hidden Sect in Taoist robes, nor any Taoist Hidden Sects," Huang Qingyu reported back to Su Luo after they regrouped.

Su Luo nodded.

He had only wished to try his luck and had not held much hope to begin with; after all, Xia Yi and Nian Nian vanished thousands of miles away from this location.

Even if the Taoist-robed Hidden Sect knew of this conference, they might not necessarily travel such a long distance to attend.

"Oh, by the way, forget about the herbs you owe me!"

Su Luo mentioned to Huang Qingyu soon after.

Huang Qingyu looked instantly bewildered, then surprised, before shifting to joy. Amid his excitement and delight, there was a hint of disbelief.

"What, you don’t want to?" Su Luo asked with a smile.

"I do, of course I do," Huang Qingyu quickly replied.

After all, he was still missing a five-hundred-year-old medicinal herb that Su Luo owed him, and it had been worrying him. Now that Su Luo was waiving that five-hundred-year-old herb, how could he not be overjoyed?

"Do whatever you want, you don’t need to follow me around," Su Luo said next. He decided to let Huang Qingyu off the hook regarding the five-hundred-year-old herb because Huang had proved reliable, working effectively for him lately, and besides, he wasn’t so short of a five-hundred-year-old medicinal herb anymore, so he gave Huang Qingyu some freedom.

Though he said that, Huang Qingyu still chose to stick with Su Luo.

Su Luo didn’t urge him to leave, either.

His focus shifted to the various stalls instead.

Eventually, stirred by the attraction of two stones, one Yin and one Yang, Su Luo stopped at a stall. "These two stones, how do you exchange them?"
