Chapter 732: Chapter 732 Black Stone Clue_1

"Then come and get me," Liu Yan said on the phone.

"I have some things to deal with. Why don’t you take a cab?"

Su Chengyu doesn’t want to go above and beyond to seek trouble. He wanted no part in the struggle between Liu Yan and Fang Qing. He decided the best strategy was to distance himself.

After hanging up, Fang Qing asked beside him, "Is he okay now?"

"He’s not," Liu Yan said.

"What’s wrong?" Fang Qing asked with worry.

"Just call me Sister Liu Yan once, and I will tell you," said Liu Yan.

"Dream on. He must be fine, otherwise, you wouldn’t look so relaxed," Fang Qing retorted not showing any weakness.

Su Chengyu returned to the Yulong Bay Villa, opened his compute, and logged in to the Nine Heavens Dark Web to see if there were any private messages.

Heaven-Mending Stone was correct. He had to obtain the Beiming Black Stone as soon as possible to cope with the Illusory Poison Needle. He couldn’t always rely on the protection of the Heaven-Mending Stone.

The Heaven-Mending Stone could indeed protect his safety, but the most critical issue was the Illusory Poison Needle. As long as he didn’t solve this issue, he could not cultivate. His current mastery was too low. Reaching a high realm was far beyond his capacity. Depending on others for protection was not a long-term solution. The Illusory Poison Needle problem had to be solved sooner, rather than later.

Su Chengyu saw that he had several private messages, was pleased, and opened them promptly. In these private messages, people stated they had the Beiming Black Stone and could negotiate a trade.

Su Chengyu was aware that among these private messages, if even one was real, that was already satisfactory. The Nine Heavens Dark Web was a mixture of all sorts, filled with black market trades hidden from the light of day and many scams. There was false information mixed in with a few nuggets of truth. It was up to him to discern the difference.

When he had previously sought Bone Washing Grass and Phoenix Saliva Fruit, he had received numerous private messages. After careful screening, all of them turned out to be false information.

Despite this, Su Chengyu replied to each message. He quickly received replies in which some proposed the conditions for a trade. What they basically needed were elixirs, martial arts secret manuals, and magic artifacts. On the Nine Heavens Dark Web, money was not in great demand. It could even be said that money had little use.

The Spirit Pill, martial arts secret tutorials, and precious magic artifacts were the hard currency. The trades conducted here were generally barter in nature. No one would discuss money with you.

The trading conditions proposed by these people weren’t outrageous demands. After all, the Beiming Black Stone is not a treasured rarity. An ordinary person does not have much use for it. These trade conditions were acceptable to Su Chengyu. The next step was to discern the truth of this information.

Su Chengyu requested that the other party send a photo and a video of the Beiming Black Stone. Some people did not reply; others sent photos that looked fine but refused to provide a video.

Photos could be falsified, but videos were more difficult to fake. After verifying them, they were mostly false information. Only one private message did not reply, but Su Chengyu did not hold much hope for it.

Su Chengyu closed the computer with a thud, feeling puzzled and irritated. He then called Qingxu Zi, but still received no response. He then entered the group chat and asked, "Have any of you been in contact with Daoist Qingxu recently?"

The third replied first, saying, "I have reached out, but received no reply."

"Why has this Daoist taken to disappearing?" Su Chengyu complained.

The fifth person said, "Did Daoist Qingxu die? He’s been out of touch for so long. Usually, when we try to reach him, he responds immediately."

The fifth was an innocent girl who seemed very worried about Qingxu Zi’s safety.

"That shouldn’t be the case, right? Daoist Qingxu is a very capable person," the third replied.

In fact, Su Chengyu had the same concern as the fifth. Although Qingxu Zi had a high level of cultivation and was very strong, there were many powerful people in the world, and it’s hard to predict the ups and downs one might face in their journey.

Like his grandfather, a person who could shatter the void, ascended in the flesh, ended up dying in obscurity. It was not unusual that a land immortal would fall.

"I hope Daoist Qingxu is alright," the belligerent fourth said.

In this chat, the first still never appeared, the second did not speak, and Yang Junmo, also known as the older lustrous robe wearer number six, who usually spoke the most, remained silent this time. The four of them chatted about Qingxu Zi for a while but did not come to any conclusions.

The fifth kept calling out to the second: "Big brother number two, aren’t you the one with the most information? You better come out and figure out how to find Daoist Qingxu. We’re really worried about him."

The fifth had been calling for a long time, but the second did not respond. In the end, everyone left the chat quietly.

Su Chengyu had a foreboding feeling in his heart. Qingxu Zi would not lose contact for no reason. He must’ve encountered some problems. No matter what he encountered, Su Chengyu was clear that he could not provide any assistance. He could only secretly pray for the old Daoist’s safety and hope he could turn ill luck into good.

Although Su Chengyu’s contact with Qingxu Zi was limited, his impression of the old Daoist was still very good. The seven of them, who had pieces of the Earth Core Lotus, needed Qingxu Zi to promote unity.

Having spend the night without sleep, Su Chengyu found it difficult to fall asleep. Having eaten breakfast, Yu Yanshu continued her diligent cultivation. Su Chengyu started up his computer again and logged into the Nine Heavens Dark Web to find new private message notifications.

When he clicked to check, it was a message from the person who hadn’t replied last night. He replied confirming that he indeed had the Beiming Black Stone and was willing to do a trade.

To prove that he had the Beiming Black Stone, this person sent a video directly to Su Chengyu’s private messages. Su Chengyu closely verified it and was almost certain that the information was true. This person indeed had the Beiming Black Stone. A smile appeared on his face, sweeping away the gloom.

Su Chengyu immediately replied to him, asking, "What are your trade conditions?"

Su Chengyu took a deep breath. With an imminent deal for the Beiming Black Stone, no matter what trade conditions the other party proposed, he would do his best to satisfy. He waited eagerly for the other party’s reply, full of anticipation.

After a few minutes, the other party replied to the message and said he wanted a Pill of Tribulation in exchange.

Upon seeing this, Su Chengyu’s brows knitted together. The high wave of anticipation seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water.

The Pill of Tribulation was not an ordinary elixir. It belonged to the earth-level elixirs, which could not be refined before reaching the Tongxuan Realm. The most challenging part was not refining the Pill of Tribulation, but that this unique pill required rare medicinal ingredients. The value of the Pill of Tribulation was far beyond that of a Beiming Black Stone.

Not to mention one Beiming Black Stone, even ten would not be worth one Pill of Tribulation’s value.

At present, Su Chengyu did not have enough expertise to refine the Pill of Tribulation, nor did he have the medicinal ingredients required to do so.

" You really dare to ask. Do you know the value of the Pill of Tribulation? You want to exchange a Beiming Black Stone for a Pill of Tribulation? That’s a joke. It seems you’re not sincerely interested in trading,"

Although Su Chengyu was anxious, he immediately replied. In such matters, one wouldn’t close the deal immediately, and bargaining was possible.
