Chapter 1513: Chapter 1514: Dao Sect Head

Yu Yanshu’s expression was puzzled, and while her heart was filled with doubt, Su Chengyu spoke.

"Yan’er, since Prince Jue is so eager to apologize, you might as well ask for whatever you desire. The Wang Family has vast resources; what can’t he afford to give you?"

Hearing Su Chengyu relent, Zhao Shijue’s face lit up with joy and said, "Miss Yan’er, please feel free to ask."

Zhao Shijue, being in the Middle-stage of Nascent Soul Realm, naturally discerned Yu Yanshu’s current realm at a glance, which was only the third level of the Golden Core Realm. The resources needed by her were things that Zhao Shijue had in abundance.

In fact, within the Capital City, the majority of the Guest Elders valued by prestigious and affluent households like Zhao Shijue’s were mostly at the Golden Core stage, or equivalents in Martial Arts Supreme.

Ascendants of the Nascent Soul are hard to come by. In contrast, Martial Emperors would rather establish sects all across various provinces and cities. Hence, Zhao Shijue did actually possess an abundance of Golden Core Realm cultivation resources. However, this time, he had truly miscalculated.

"Then Yan’er will not stand on ceremony."

Yu Yanshu turned her head, spotted some writing materials nearby, and promptly walked over to the desk. She took up a brush with a flick of her sleeve and slowly listed a total of seven items.

With each item she wrote down, Zhao Shijue’s brows furrowed deeper.

By the time the last item was penned, Zhao Shijue’s face had become unspeakably grim.

"What’s the matter, Prince Jue? Is there a problem?"

Zhao Shijue looked up at Su Chengyu, then awkwardly said, "It’s not about difficulties, but... what on earth are these things?"

The seven items listed by Yu Yanshu weren’t merely a question of value. Out of the seven, Zhao Shijue recognized none.

Nine Heavens Sand, Sinking Goldwood, Stream Washing Water, Mystic Bamboo Stone, Misty Wind, Pursuing Heavenly Shadows, Twinlife Fire.

A total of seven items—Zhao Shijue was not only unfamiliar with them but had never even heard of them before.

It was hard for Zhao Shijue not to suspect whether the teacher and disciple before him were playing him for a fool.

But Su Chengyu, seemingly guessing what Zhao Shijue was thinking, said, "Not having them at hand is not a big deal; you can search for them gradually. These items are essential for Yan’er’s Nascent Soul to coalesce. She still needs some time before she attempts to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

Break through to the Nascent Soul?

Zhao Shijue was momentarily stunned.

For ordinary cultivators to progress step by step and ascend even a minor realm took a great deal of preparation. Yet from what Su Chengyu implied, such a step was trivial in his eyes.

Although he knew that Yu Yanshu was Su Chengyu’s disciple, he still found their ambitious cultivation methods somewhat incomprehensible.

However, it was none of Zhao Shijue’s concern how others pursued their cultivation. Changing the subject, he asked, "As long as I find these seven items, will Tian Heng, the Saint Envoy, be willing to form an alliance with me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but laugh: "If you truly manage to find all seven, not just an alliance—so long as I, Su Cheng, have a place to stand in the Capital City, what harm could there be in heeding Prince Jue’s commands?"

These words immediately snapped Zhao Shijue back to reality. Once again examining the seven items Yu Yanshu had listed, he said somberly, "Are these items worth their weight in gold?"

"Each one is no less valuable than an Extreme Artifact."

Swallowing hard, Zhao Shijue looked at Su Chengyu distressedly and said, "Saint Envoy Tian Heng, aren’t you making things difficult for me?"

"I certainly am not. These materials are necessary for Yan’er’s cultivation journey. It was you who came forward with the proposal, wasn’t it?"

Zhao Shijue’s complexion was exceedingly unsightly, feeling much like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot—all witnessed by Su Chengyu with a touch of amusement.

He truly wasn’t trying to make things difficult for Zhao Shijue.

Yu Yanshu needed these seven items to assault the Nascent Soul Realm, a fact which he only learned upon his return to the Capital City from Qiu Tianlin.

Moreover, when he had first learned of these seven items, his reaction was identical to Zhao Shijue’s—he’d never heard of them before.

Afterwards, he inquired about the Heaven-Mending Stone. According to what the Heaven-Mending Stone said, these seven items were extremely precious even when viewed across all the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

There was no other reason; these were seven special heavenly and earthly treasures that could only be birthed within this land. In the Remote Ancient Era, they were still somewhat accessible.

But now, as the Heavenly Dao imposed its sanctions and the spiritual energy depleted, there were very few who even knew of their names.

Seeing Zhao Shijue struggling with the seven items and having already made a declaration, was he really supposed to retract his statement?

Yet not only did he lack these items, he had no clue where to start searching for them.

And even if he found them, Zhao Shijue wouldn’t bear to part with them—seven items of Extreme Artifact caliber as treasures in exchange for Su Chengyu’s favor? Such a deal was a massive loss.

"Prince Jue, rest assured, I said I’m not intentionally troubling you. Just answer one question for me. Even if you find none of the seven items, I am still willing to cooperate with you as you wished."

Zhao Shijue looked up, surprised, at Su Chengyu: "Really?"

"As true as could be."

Zhao Shijue fell silent, then blinked and said, "If it’s about Lin An, I don’t know much either. Although Lin An itself has no major troubles, unable to leave the mansion after being restricted, it’s manageable to go elsewhere—but heading to the Imperial Palace is truly..."

"It has nothing to do with Lin An; it’s simply about you and me."

Zhao Shijue was even more puzzled, "What does Saint Envoy Tian Heng really want to ask?"

Su Chengyu looked intently at Zhao Shijue and said softly, "I want to know what reason compels you to go to such lengths to cultivate a good relationship with me."

"Tian Heng, with strength to defeat Long Xuan within the same realm, naturally your talents are worth my significant investment..."

He was only halfway through, when seeing Su Chengyu’s somewhat mocking expression, Zhao Shijue realized his words clearly wouldn’t convince Su Chengyu.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Shijue finally said, "Because of my Master."

"Master? Master Chang Chun?"

Su Chengyu asked, puzzled.

Zhao Shijue nodded: "Before the life-and-death battle with you, Master once instructed me that I must win, not lose. And if I were to lose, I must forge a good relationship with you, by any means necessary, to turn hostility into peaceful ties."

"Why?"

Su Chengyu asked, puzzled.

However, Zhao Shijue shook his head this time: "I asked the same question to Master, but he only mentioned it was a matter of fate and didn’t wish to disclose it to me."

Master Chang Chun’s mastery of Daoism Method was profound. When Su Chengyu met Cang Qing True Master last time, he inquired about the matters regarding the Grand Celestial Master residing in the Imperial Observatory of the Quanzhen Sect.

According to Cang Qing True Master, now in Xia Country, it was only three people sitting in the Imperial Observatory overseeing the nation’s fate: Quanzhen Sect’s Master Chang Chun, Qingcheng Sect’s Cang Qing True Master, and the Sea-calming Divine Needle of Mount Longhu, Four Great Heavenly Masters’ leader, Zhao Kongming.

Across the whole of Xia Country, those most knowledgeable about fate and destiny were these three.

"So you want to be on good terms with me because Master Chang Chun wishes it?"
