Chapter 717: Chapter 717: North Ming Black Stone_1

Su Chengyu had indeed read about Beiming Black Stone in the books left by his grandfather. Beiming Black Stones are produced in the far, extreme north, a place full of uncertainties and harsh conditions. The book mentioned that the far north was a place full of dangerous monsters and beasts, so powerful that even cultivators of the Hollow Realm who ventured there were in great danger.

According to the geography books Su Chengyu studied, The Bei Luo Empire, which borders the northern part of Xia Country, is a vast country with the largest territory in the world. However, much of the northern part of the Empire is a barren land with harsh climate conditions, making it hard for humans to survive.

Thousands of miles beyond the North Pole of the Bei Luo Empire lies a deep, unfathomable black sea. This sea is referred to as the Dark Sea in geography books.

Su Chengyu had heard from his grandfather who had once ventured into the extreme north that the Dark Sea was a treacherous place. The waters of the Dark Sea were black and extremely poisonous. No living being, including animals, could bear touching it, let alone living in it.

The Dark Sea, however, was home to many powerful beasts. Any random beast that emerged from there was as powerful as a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm. The creatures living in the extreme conditions of the Dark Sea were highly dangerous, posing a risk even to land immortals.

Nevertheless, the Dark Sea was also a storehouse of rare and unique treasures. The inner cores of these beasts were particularly beneficial for cultivators. Besides their inner cores, their skeletons and skin were excellent materials for crafting weapons. Some great cultivators captured beasts from the Dark Sea as mounts.

The Beiming Black Stone that Yang Junmo mentioned was one such special ore from the Dark Sea. It was one of the materials used for crafting tools, but it wasn’t particularly precious. Therefore, even cultivators who managed to enter the Dark Sea didn’t specifically mine Beiming Black Stones. This is why, although Beiming Black Stones are rare in markets, they aren’t considered valuable.

Currently, Su Chengyu had no time to look for Beiming Black Stones. After all, it was widely known that he had been hit by the Illusory Poison Needle. People who wanted to take his life and finish him off might find this a golden opportunity. He knew these people wouldn’t want to miss such a chance.

"It seems I need to revise my plan."

Su Chengyu sighed. The Illusory Poison Needle had ruined his plans to disrupt the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Now, he had to retreat safely to figure out his next steps.

"Mu Ge, come in here."

To the surprise of the people outside who were standing guard for Su Chengyu, they suddenly heard his voice. Qin Muge promptly entered the room. Seeing Su Chengyu with a pale face and covered in sweat, she became worried and asked, "Brother Su Cheng, how are you doing?"

"The Illusory Poison Needle is too powerful, and I currently have no way to counteract it. My mana is of no use to me in this condition. With the dangers lurking in Nangang at the moment, many people want me dead. Now, the only person I can trust is you. I’m putting my life into your hands."

Said Su Chengyu solemnly.

Qin Muge was taken aback. She was moved by Su Chengyu’s trust, but she was also afraid. She knew her abilities and was aware that she was incapable of protecting Su Chengyu.

"Brother Su Cheng, for you, I would face life and death without fear. But I can’t bear the responsibility you’ve given me. Let’s go find the Grand Minister. He respects you highly and will surely help you. Only he can protect you." Qin Muge suggested.

Su Chengyu shook his head, put a hand on Qin Muge’s shoulder, and said, "Now I can only choose someone I absolutely trust with my life or death, and apart from you, I have no one else to choose."

Having said that, Su Chengyu brought out the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map from the Cui Xia Ring and explained to Qin Muge, "I will hide in the world within this painting, and you will keep the painting in your luggage. As long as we leave Nangang and return to Jiangyang, I will be safe."

Hearing this, Qin Muge realized that the matter was not complicated. No one would expect Su Chengyu to hide in a painting, much less suspect her.

"Rest assured, I will make sure that you and the painting safely reach Jiangyang." Qin Muge immediately agreed.

After settling everything, Su Chengyu jumped and turned into a streak of light, diving into the small Cave Heaven world inside the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map. The painting rolled back into the form of a scroll and fell into Qin Muge’s hands.

Qin Muge wrapped the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map in a towel. After gathering her emotions, she walked out of the room casually holding the map.

"Mu Ge, how is Mr. Su doing?" Qin Siyuan asked.

"He is out of danger. He told us there’s no need to keep guarding, but also not to disturb him."

The people hearing her words were relieved. They went back to their rooms to get ready for the banquet. Qin Muge went back to her room, opened her suitcase and put the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map inside.

Several pairs of eyes were watching the surroundings of Jiangdong Dragon Soul’s courtyard attentively, ready to notice even a fly flying out. One kilometer away from the Dragon Soul Department, a black Rolls-Royce was parked by the roadside. Xiang Yuesheng was inside the car, rejuvenating himself with eyes closed.

Xiang Yuesheng suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "The Dragon Soul banquet is about to start, right?"

"In five minutes." replied his butler.

"Are you sure that Su Cheng is still in the Dragon Soul department? This time we can’t let him slip away again." Xiang Yuesheng said coldly.

"President, you can rest assured, Guo Yijian and Xu Jianglong have given the message, and they are watching him too. He cannot escape! Moreover, Su Cheng has been poisoned by Yin Huan’s Illusory Poison Needle, making him unable to use his spells. He knows very well, staying inside the Dragon Soul department is the safest. He wouldn’t dare to step aside." the butler responded.

Xiang Yuesheng nodded slightly, closed his eyes again and continued to rejuvenate himself, waiting for the news.

Inside the Dragon Soul Department, the banquet began on time, but two people were missing - the top two champions of this year’s Dragon Soul meeting, Su Chengyu and Lee Longqing.

Lee Longqing had been defeated and suffered backlash from the Seven Kills Sword. The situation was very dangerous. He Lian Xuan had people send Lee Longqing back to the Lee family in Feng Yang.

He Lian Xuan noticed that the people from Jiangdong were not all there and asked, "Where is Su Cheng? He is our champion this year and the rightful star of tonight’s banquet. How could he be absent?"

Qin Siyuan immediately stood up and announced, "Reporting to the Grand Minister, Su Cheng received some injuries from his fight with Yin Huan. He has retired to his room for restoration and finds it inconvenient to attend the banquet. I hope you understand."

"Even if he’s injured, he should at least show up."

Having said that, He Lian Xuan turned to one of his followers and instructed, "You go and visit Su Cheng for me. Tell him that I’d like him to come and have a couple of drinks. He wouldn’t refuse me this courtesy, would he?"

The follower immediately stood up and left. Qin Muge, sitting at the side and maintaining her composure, thought that everything happened as Brother Su Cheng had anticipated.
