Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1219 - 1219 1179 Exchange of Interests

1219: Chapter 1179: Exchange of Interests 1219: Chapter 1179: Exchange of Interests Lord Wu Tongwei looked reluctant to part with his reserves; it was obvious that he valued these mineral ores a great deal.

Moreover, as the City Lord of Hei Jin City, the mineral ores he collected were certainly even rarer and more unusual.

After all, Hei Jin City was a city surrounded by mineral deposits!

What they had in abundance here was ore, yet the probability of finding rare ores was extremely low.

Thus, within Hei Jin City, Lu Chuan would have an easier time finding rare ores.

He might stay here for a long time, continually cultivating his Divine Fire’s rank to become stronger.

Because right now, Lu Chuan’s Divine Fire was one of his greatest reliances and trump cards!

Hence, he must strive to strengthen his Divine Fire, to become more powerful, so he could better deal with enemies.

Lu Chuan looked at Wu Tongwei and seriously said, “But these ores are very important to me, and I don’t need all of them, just the fire-attributed ones.

Only the fire-attributed ones are needed, the rest are not important.”

Hearing this, Wu Tongwei’s furrowed brows relaxed.

“Is that so?

That’s…

really wonderful!”

“If it’s just the fire-attributed ones, I don’t have a problem, but…

these are treasures, and if you take them…”

Lu Chuan smiled and patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry, I owe you a favor, I’ll help you out with some small matters.”

“That’s good, I actually need your help right now.”

Lu Chuan looked at him, surprised, “Ah?

You need help now?

What is it?”

“There’s a ghost haunting one of my mines recently, can you handle it?”

Lu Chuan shook his head, “I’m not a Taoist, nor an exorcist master, are you sure you’re not mistaking me for someone else?”

“Yesterday, I saw your battle, your final move summoned a bunch of soul fragments to harm your enemies, so I think, you must have the ability to damage Divine Souls, that’s why I thought to ask you today.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, “What you said is not entirely without reason.”

“If you need me to take care of it, then I’ll take a look at the situation.”

“If the ghost you mentioned is just a wandering Divine Soul, then I might be able to handle it.”

“But if it’s other types of mysterious events, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do much.”

“That’s great, then I’ll bother you with this.

Once you’re back, I’ll hand over those ores to you!”

“First tell me, how many are there?

And what quality?” asked Lu Chuan.

“Roughly…” Wu Tongwei pondered, “There are four in total, amongst them two are of Heavenly Grade, and one of them is an Immortal Lower Grade ore.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Sounds not bad, in that case, I will help you this once.”

“Good!

I’ll wait for you to come back, I will go get the ores from the storehouse right now!”

“Here, this is the map; your marked mine is on it.

Once you’re there, my people will let you in!”

“Alright, I got it.

I’ll handle this now, prepare the ores.”

Lu Chuan turned and left.

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng mounted their horses, ready to leave the city.

“The City Lord is really not willing to take any loss, eh?

He’s willing to give you things only if you do work for him.”

Lu Chuan helplessly shrugged, “It’s normal, my relationship with him is not that good to begin with, it’s all about mutual benefit.”

“Oh, and after I return, I have to help his son grow back his other leg as well, as we agreed.”

Lu Chuan suddenly remembered this fact.

Lord Wu Tongwei was not in a rush to have Lu Chuan do this task, as their cooperation would continue.

Lu Chuan rode out of the city and, upon reaching the outskirts, began to follow the map.

The surrounding mountains were mainly Black Mountain, void of much vegetation and desolate in appearance.

But at a distance, one could also see some green mountains.

The mineral resources of Black Mountain were sometimes not much, and those of green mountains were not few either.

The mountain ranges around Hei Jin City stretched continuously, from the southwest to the northwest, so it was difficult for enemies to attack from these directions.

Lu Chuan arrived at the foot of the mountain.

“The mine is up on the mountain; we need to climb up there first.”

Saying so, Lu Chuan dismounted, ready to climb up.

A long staircase had been constructed upon the mountain.

At the foot, several wooden houses were standing, all established by the City Lord’s influence.

As Lu Chuan dismounted, he slowly approached.

“Hold on, who are you two?

What are you here for?

This is the Honorable City Lord’s domain, no one is allowed to enter without permission!”

Lu Chuan looked at the person blocking the way, “I was called over by the City Lord to help him with a task.”

“He said there’s a ghost haunting the mountain, I’m here to deal with it.”

“This mountain has been abandoned, no workers dare to mine here anymore, you better go back.”

Lu Chuan immediately became curious, “What kind of ghost is it that has you all stop mining?”

“You don’t need to know!”

Growing impatient, Lu Chuan said, “If the mine is already abandoned, what are you afraid of me messing with?

I’m here to help you all.”

“Alright then, first tell me, what’s your name?”

“My name is Lu Chuan.”

At that moment, someone came running over, whispering, “A message from the City Lord, he said a man named Lu Chuan is now his benefactor, if encountered, greet him and do not impede!”

“Is that so?”

“The truth, it’s the Honorable City Lord’s own handwriting!”

The man blocking the way eyed Lu Chuan, “Alright then, go ahead.”

“Remember, once you’re inside, if you encounter a ghost, escape immediately, don’t even hesitate a bit, don’t try to be brave, otherwise, you’ll die in there!”

He warned.

“There’s no need for you to remind me.

Besides, I came here to eliminate the supposed haunting, not to run away at the sight of it.”

“Fine, I have nothing more to say, good luck and be careful.”

Lu Chuan continued forward, with Dongfang Cheng following close behind.

“Didn’t you notice how strange their atmosphere is?”

“I know, everyone looks tense, as if on edge.”

“The fear must have gotten to them quite a bit.”

Dongfang Cheng continued, “It seems the situation here is quite severe.

An entire mine being abandoned represents a not insignificant loss to the City Lord.”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, “Of course I know, so, we have to be extra cautious, now that we’ve come here, let’s be careful, solve the situation quickly, then go back!”

“Okay, I hope this so-called ghost isn’t too formidable, otherwise, we’ll be in trouble.”

Lu Chuan laughed dismissively, “My Soul Terminating Sword is an Immortal Artifact; couldn’t be easier to slay a ghost, right?”

“Right, it’s an Immortal Artifact!

What do we have to fear!

If we encounter a ghost, just cut it down with one slash!

No ghost can stand against it!!”

Dongfang Cheng immediately felt at ease, no longer feeling the slightest tension.

It wasn’t long before the two arrived at the entrance to the mine.

From the dark, profound mine entrance, a gloomy cold breeze blew by, causing Dongfang Cheng to shiver with tension all over again.
