Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Heaven-Mending Stone_1
"How audacious! A mere mortal dares to blaspheme a celestial being! Hand over all your treasures right now, or I, the immortal, will suppress you completely!" The Five-colored Stone shouted indignantly.
Su Chengyu was not scared by the Five-colored Stone at all, he scoffed, "Don’t pretend to be something you’re not. Even if you were once an immortal, now you have fallen to the mortal realm and you cannot threaten me. You must have felt it too. In our world, there is a severe shortage of spiritual energy. For you to return to the realm of immortality, you need a lot of spiritual energy, which you will never restore on your own."
The Five-colored Stone questioned, "So what do you propose?"
"You work for me, I provide you with spiritual energy. Otherwise, you’ll eventually be refined by someone else," Su Chengyu said.
Upon hearing this, the Five-colored Stone seemed to fall into contemplation. Only after a while , it agreed, "Deal."
Su Chengyu’s index finger shot out a drop of his essence blood, intending to make the Five-colored Stone recognize its owner, but the Five-colored Stone rejected Su Chengyu’s essence blood and disdainfully said, "Perhaps you’re a mere mortal in the foundation establishment realm, aspiring to be my master? That’s not happening!"
"If you don’t recognize an owner, and one day you recover your power and try to kill me, I won’t stand a chance," Su Chengyu reasoned.
"As a sacred treasure of the Heaven Mend Sect, my status wouldn’t allow such disloyalty! Since you’ve helped me, I won’t mistreat you. Even the hierarch of the Heaven Mend Sect has no right to be my master, let alone you."
Su Chengyu has no knowledge about the Immortal World, but judging from the Five-colored Stone’s attitude, making it recognize an owner was almost impossible.
"All right, I’ll trust you for now. What is the Heaven Mend Sect? Is it powerful?" Su Chengyu asked curiously.
"Heaven Mend Sect is a major sect in the Immortal World. In the ancient times, the Nuwa Immortal Emperor mended the heavens with stones and established the Heaven Mend Sect. It has survived countless epochs and is one of the three major sects in the Immortal World. As for me, I am one of the pieces left from when the Nuwa Immortal Emperor mended the heavens. The only person deserving to be my owner is the Immortal Emperor himself. Even the hierarch of the Heaven Mend Sect must be respectful in my presence."
The Five-colored Stone revealed its lofty identity, which was quite a shock.
Su Chengyu isn’t crystal clear about the power structure in the Immortal World, but he had read some records in a book left by his grandfather. The Immortal World has innumerable powerful beings, and the one at the top of it all is the Immortal Emperor, who is eternally immortal.
"Well, as mighty a being as you claim to be, how did you fall from grace?" Su Chengyu asked teasingly.
"That’s a long story, maybe I’ll tell you another time," replied the Heaven Mend Stone.
"Fine, since the affairs of the Immortal World have nothing to do with me, and I don’t really want to know." Su Chengyu shrugged off.
Heaven Mend Stone continued, "Give me that Spirit Jade and medicinal herbs you had."
"I need to keep this Spirit Jade for my own use, I can’t give it to you. But I can offer you two thousand-year-old medicinal plants."
Su Chengyu tossed the two thousand-year-old medicinal plants he had taken from the Jin family to the Heaven Mend Stone which absorbed all the spiritual essence from the plants, turning them into dregs in an instant with its Five-Colored Divine Light.
"The spiritual energy is too scant, it wouldn’t even be enough to fill a gap in my teeth. Do you have any other medicinal plants?"
Clearly, the two thousand-year-old medicinal plants were just a drop in the bucket for the Heaven Mend Stone.
"Yes, but I need to keep them for my own alchemy practice. You’ve had enough. These thousand-year-old medicinal plants are incredibly valuable and hard to find. By giving you two, I’ve already been extremely generous," said Su Chengyu dismissively.
"Fine, I won’t simply take your medicinal plants as charity. If you ever run into trouble, I’m willing to help you out once."
After saying this, the Heaven Mend Stone, with a flash of light, transformed into a beautiful bracelet wrapping around Su Chengyu’s wrist. Su Chengyu then cast a spell to revive the pear trees in Libo Garden and left for his hotel, leaving the garden be.
The night passed without incident. Early next morning, Su Chengyu called Yuan Bo and told him that the problem with Libo Garden had been resolved. Yuan Bo, overwhelmed with emotion, replied, "Thank you, Mr.Su. My father wants to hold a feast tonight to express his gratitude."
"There’s no need, I have other things to deal with."
After hanging up, Su Chengyu set off to visit the antique shop owned by Zhou Li, along with Lin Chuxue and Yu Yanshu, but they saw no sign of the people from the Golden Holy Door.
Zhou Li explained, "The rest of the Golden Holy Door set off for the Cloud Mist Mountain overnight. They will meet up with us outside the ancient tomb. Once Old Wei arrives, we’ll be ready to set off."
"Wei Jingyi probably won’t be coming," Su Chengyu deliberately ignored the outlook.
Wei Jingyi had lost to him in their magical contest at Libo Garden and was injured. Su Chengyu speculated that Wei Jingyi was probably too embarrassed to join them in the tomb exploration.
"Who says I am not coming? How would you navigate the tomb without me?"
Barely had the words left Su Chengyu’s mouth, when Wei Jingyi walked into the antique shop from outside, accompanied by Wei Ying and another middle-aged man.
"Old Wei, we’ve been waiting for you, let’s get ready to depart!" Zhou Li said hastily.
"Hold on! I need to settle a personal grudge first."
Wei Jingyi waved his hand, his gaze cold as he stared at Su Chengyu and said, "Kid, at Libo Garden, you ruined my reputation by defeating me in a magical battle. Do you think I would let you off so easily? You think you’ll join the treasure hunt in the tomb? I’d say you’re courting death."
"At Libo Garden, I let you off the hook and spared your life. Aren’t you satisfied?"
Su Chengyu’s eyebrows knitted together as Wei Jingyi retorted, "You didn’t kill me because you are a fool! You think I would be grateful to you? I won’t!"
With that, Wei Jingyi turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Senior Brother Wu, this is the kid. Please, I beg of you, kill him."
Wu Shao was younger than Wei Jingyi, but in the world of cultivation, seniority is determined by power, not age, and Wu Shao’s power far surpassed Wei Jingyi’s.
Wu Shao had traveled from another province and agreed to help Wei Jingyi take his revenge because Wei Jingyi had promised to let his granddaughter Wei Ying become Wu Shao’s apprentice. As for Wu Shao being a lecher, he had set his mind on Wei Ying the moment he saw her on his previous visit to Suifeng, and proposed to Wei Jingyi to take Wei Ying as his apprentice and recommended her for the Inner Door Cultivation of the mysterious sect.
Wei Jingyi knew very well what kind of man Wu Shao was. All the young female disciples who were taken under his tutelage could hardly escape his clutches.
This was essentially an unwritten rule in the sect. If one wanted to climb up the ladder and access resources from the sect, they had to pay a price.
Wu Shao’s master was a senior member of the sect with considerable stature within the sect. Initially, Wei Jingyi was reluctant to hand his granddaughter to the likes of Wu Shao.
However, his desperation for revenge after being humiliated by Su Chengyu at Libo Garden made him give it less thought. Wei Ying had always desired to join the sect and was prepared to face these unwritten rules sooner or later. Having Wu Shao as her mentor would give Wei Ying an opportunity to have more resources for cultivation within the sect.
Yet Wei Ying still remained ignorant of the fact that the person she respected the most, her grandfather, had sold her out to Wu Shao, a lascivious man of over fifty years.
Wu Shao nodded slightly and said, "Since you’ve promised to let Little Ying become my disciple and to cultivate together, I will fulfill my promise to kill this kid for you. Rest assured, killing him will be as easy as blowing away the dust."
