Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 993 - 993 953 Rare Ore

993: Chapter 953: Rare Ore 993: Chapter 953: Rare Ore Yu Qiming carefully picked up the stone from the box, placed it in his palm, and observed it closely.

“It’s true, I took a close look, and it matches the description I learned exactly; this is the Hundred Mystery Crystal.

If used to forge or enhance equipment, it would greatly amplify the effects of the equipment itself.”

“So, this item is definitely rare.

Our entire Yu family could pour in all our wealth and probably still find it difficult to obtain even one.”

Lu Chuan curiously looked at the stone in his hand, “Is it really that rare?

By the way, how do you know so much about it?”

Yu Qiming smiled, “Because our Yu family is a mining aristocratic family, we control many mining veins and have unearthed countless ores.”

“At the same time, our Yu family ranks among the top equipment manufacturers within Cloud Sea City.”

“It’s because of the family’s advantages that I know so much.”

“However, you know, the mining veins are located in remote areas outside the city.

If there isn’t a powerful figure overseeing them, it’s difficult to maintain control over those veins.”

“So, that’s also why, when my father died, our family started to decline rapidly.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I see, that makes sense.

I’ll take your word for it then.

How do we remove this disguise though?”

“The disguise isn’t hard to remove as long as it’s handled by a professional.”

“However, without a professional present, it might indeed be mistaken for an ordinary stone and thrown away.”

“So keep it safe.

When we reach Cloud Sea City, I’ll use my connections to find a master craftsman to handle this ore for you.”

Lu Chuan looked at the stone in his palm and couldn’t help smiling.

“Good, then I’ll trouble you with this.”

“No problem, it’s what I should do.”

Lu Chuan turned to Zhao Mingguang and said, “Old Master Zhao, we’ll be taking our leave now.

After this departure, we’ll probably have difficulty meeting again.

You should say your goodbyes to Jyang Ran.”

Zhao Mingguang sighed somewhat forlornly and looked towards Jyang Ran with a gaze full of reluctance.

“Jyang Ran is a good girl.

Although…

she really has done many evil deeds, sometimes, people are forced to walk a certain path in the jianghu (martial world).”

“Sometimes when she comes into money, she’d even share a portion with me.

So in my eyes, she’s always been a good person.”

“Now, she’s finally made her breakthrough, her strength has improved, and she’s joined the ranks of the strong.

She’s destined to go further and shouldn’t stay here.”

“Young Master Lu, she has immense talent and will continue to grow.

If she walks the path of Demonic Cultivation, it’s only because she has no choice but to employ harsh methods in her pursuit of power.”

“Thus, Jyang Ran, go with him.

When you have a chance, come back to see me.”

He smiled at Jyang Ran.

Jyang Ran let out a long sigh.

“Old Master, take good care of yourself.

I don’t want to come back one day to find you’ve been eaten by the wild wolves in the mountains.”

“Heh…

that won’t happen.”

Jyang Ran turned around, patted Lu Chuan’s shoulder, and said, “Let’s go, we should head back.”

Lu Chuan and his party turned around and left the ancient temple.

After leaving, they started their return journey to Tiannan City along the mountain road.

On the way back, Lu Chuan began to count on his fingers.

“Jyang Ran, Dongfang Cheng, Su Changyue, Xsu Qing, Yu Qiming, the number of people is really growing.”

Lu Chuan said with some worry.

He would rather have fewer people; with fewer people, they wouldn’t be as noticeable.

“You’re complaining about having too many people?

Isn’t that a good thing?

Didn’t you destroy the Nangong family to make a name for yourself?

With your reputation, isn’t it normal to have more people by your side?”

Jyang Ran retorted.

“Never mind, let’s head back.

Having more people has its benefits, but it also makes management exhausting and takes time away from cultivation.”

Lu Chuan rode to the city gate, passed through the entrance, and entered the city.

After returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Chuan first arranged accommodations for Yu Qiming, then went to see Su Changyue.

In Su Changyue’s boudoir, Su Meeng still lay on the bed, expressionless.

While Su Changyue sat beside him, bringing him food.

Lu Chuan walked over and stood by Su Changyue’s side.

“You’re back?

How did it go?

How far are you from breaking through to Stage 2?”

Upon hearing this, Su Meeng looked up at Lu Chuan, also interested.

“It’s still far off; I’ll take it slowly.”

“Such a significant boost won’t be achieved in just ten days or half a month.”

“I’ve already asked the City Lord to collect fire-type ores for me.

I reckon they should supplement me quite a bit.”

“But the quantity of these precious ores is already so limited.”

“So, if I want to break through to Stage 2, I need to head to Cloud Sea City and see if I can find some gains there.”

“Okay, I got it.

Let’s go together then.

How about we depart tomorrow?”

Su Changyue asked, somewhat impatiently.

“Of course, that’s no problem.

But, you should be prepared, we’ll have quite a few people accompanying us.”

“I’ll go and get ready.

Once we set off tomorrow, I’ll come call for you.”

Su Changyue nodded her head slightly, then Lu Chuan left her boudoir.

No sooner had he stepped out, he saw Yuan Tiancheng coming towards him.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan, Yuan Tiancheng quickly walked over.

“Young Master Lu, I’ve taken care of everything you asked for.

All those fire-type ores, I’ve already obtained them.”

“I’ve placed everything in the study; you can go and check it whenever you want.”

“There’s no need to check.

Have them delivered to my room.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to move them right away.”

After Yuan Tiancheng left, Lu Chuan made his way toward his own quarters.

Arriving in the courtyard, he saw Dongfang Cheng sitting under a tree, deeply engrossed in a book.

Hearing Lu Chuan’s footsteps, Dongfang Cheng put down the book and stood up to approach Lu Chuan.

“Lu Chuan, you’re finally back.

What were you up to today?

You’re only returning now; it’s almost dark.”

Lu Chuan smiled and then recounted the events of the day to him.

After hearing Lu Chuan’s story, Dongfang Cheng showed a spark of interest as he sat in the wooden chair nearby.

“Are you really planning to help that Yu family rise again?”

Lu Chuan shrugged his shoulders, “A family in ruins like theirs, if I were to help them back to prominence and have them join my faction, they are highly likely to be loyal to me.”

“They understand how to run a large family and know the difficulty of amassing such power.

So, if I do them this favor and let them join my side, it’s practically guaranteed.”

“That makes sense, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the Yu family will definitely stand with you.”

“However, we’re still unaware of the situation in Cloud Sea City.

What if there are other families more worthy of support?”

Lu Chuan stroked his chin, pondering, “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

We leave tomorrow!”
