Chapter 524: Chapter 302: 6th Life: Born with Heavy Pupils, an Emperor’s Appearance!_2
Who is Yu Qi?
Double Pupil!
Innate Saint!
Direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor, Young Clan Leader of the Youyu Clan!
With his identity and status, even a slight stomp of his foot could make the Great Wilderness tremble.
Needless to say.
Yu Qi, at the age of twenty, is already a strong expert in the Divine Bridge Realm, just half a step from the Dharma Realm!
It can be said that regardless of his lineage, bloodline, status, or power, he is impeccable.
Therefore, although he is gentle by nature and rarely engages in conflict, he still carries his own pride.
Only those unparalleled celestial prodigies from the super tribes can associate with him as equals.
But now he shows such courtesy to an obscure Qi Refiner and even publicly apologizes.
Doesn’t this mean.
That the seemingly young boy in the beast robe is also an unparalleled prodigy?
Thinking of this.
Everyone shivered, a tingling sensation ran down their spines.
And the middle-aged guard broke into a cold sweat, hastily speaking respectfully.
"I was impudent earlier, I beg this young master’s forgiveness."
"No problem, you were just following protocol."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, not taking offense.
He then didn’t waste any more time, led the fierce-maned horse, and directly entered Great Yu City.
As Yu Qi watched his receding figure, he appeared thoughtful.
"Young Master, should this old one investigate this person’s background?"
An old man in gray beside him whispered.
"No need."
Yu Qi shook his head.
In fact.
Solely from the tribal totem, he roughly guessed Lu Yuan’s origin.
The Great Wind Tribe stays hidden from the world, long forgotten by people.
But as the Young Clan Leader of the Youyu Clan, Yu Qi knows many secrets very well and naturally understands the grievances between the Fire God Descendant and the Dading Clan.
"I never expected the Lu Zhong lineage, though in decline, to produce such a prodigious talent."
"This person’s talent is no less than mine. You must only befriend him, under no circumstances offend him!"
Yu Qi sternly warned.
"His talent can actually be compared to the Young Master’s?"
Hearing this sentence.
Everyone felt a shock in their hearts, stirring up a storm of astonishment within.
Because they had witnessed firsthand how Yu Qi, a child of a concubine, rose to become the Young Clan Leader of the Youyu Clan.
It can be said that in their hearts, Yu Qi’s status is like that of a god, unshakable even by the prodigies of other clans.
But now Yu Qi says that the beast-robed boy’s talent is not at all inferior to his!
How could they not be astonished!
In truth, not only were they amazed, but Yu Qi himself felt uneasy inside.
Although Lu Yuan was tall, looking not much different from a teenager.
But Yu Qi could tell from his bone age, that he was only five years old!
What does it mean for a five-year-old Spirit Embryo Realm Qi Refiner?
One must know that even though Yu Qi was naturally blessed with double pupils, he only barely reached the Spirit Embryo Realm at six.
Of course.
This was because he retraced the three major trials to forge a flawless foundation.
If he solely pursued cultivation speed, with the abundant resources of the Youyu Clan, he could step into the Inscription Realm at three.
But the Great Wind Tribe is short on resources, to the point where only Feng Huai’an, the last Qi Refiner, remains in this generation.
In such circumstances, Lu Yuan still managed to achieve such an astonishing cultivation speed.
From this alone, one can see how prodigious Lu Yuan’s talent is!
"This child has good talent, but it’s unfortunate that he was born into the Great Wind Tribe and in the wrong era."
Yu Qi withdrew his gaze, feeling slightly regretful.
Previously, when the two gods descended to steal the Great Wilderness’s fortunes, although driven away by a formidable presence, it allowed Heaven to probe the real situation of the Great Wilderness.
The Great Court Country is also plotting to eliminate all obstacles in the Great Wilderness.
It can be said that the Great Wilderness’ fortune is at an end, the environmental conditions worsening like a lake gradually drying up, unsustainable for long.
Powerful tribes like the Great Yu Clan, Shennong Clan, and Xuanyuan Clan had to unite against it, planning to find another way.
As for the smaller tribes, they can only be swept away by this catastrophe, ending with no remnants left.
Even though Lu Yuan has outstanding talent, he was born at the wrong time; he might be smothered in the cradle before he can even grow up.
...
In Great Yu City.
Lu Yuan was completely unaware of all this.
At this moment, he was leading his fierce-maned horse, walking on the bustling streets, constantly observing the novel sights around him.
Ever since being reborn into the Barbaric World, he had been staying in that small village, and this was his first time stepping into the Great Wilderness city.
Great Yu City, being one of the few cities in the Great Wilderness, was extremely lively.
Various merchants and vendors could be seen everywhere in the city, and Lu Yuan even saw caravans from the Great Court Country openly selling goods and treasure pills on the streets.
But this was not surprising.
Despite the hostile relationship between the Great Court Country and the Great Wilderness, resources in the Great Wilderness were scarce, and even food was difficult to produce self-sufficiently.
Thus, they had to open trade routes and mutually exchange with the Great Court.
And all kinds of goods were available in Great Yu City; there’s nothing you can’t buy, only things you can’t think of!
"Neigh!"
The fierce-maned horse looked left and right, also observing if there were other beautiful mares on the street.
It occasionally nudged Lu Yuan’s shoulder with its head, reminding him not to forget the promise made earlier.
"Alright, alright, I’ll first go inquire about news from Zhenhuang City, and then find you a pretty mare."
Lu Yuan said helplessly.
He wandered around the city for half a day and got a rough idea of the external forces.
There were many entities in Great Yu City that sold information.
But among them, the one with the most comprehensive information, the best confidentiality, the swiftest updates, and the best reputation was the Eight Directions Building.
The name Eight Directions Building implies seeing in all four directions and hearing in all eight.
Their intelligence network spreads across the Barbaric World, with a frighteningly strong background, even the Great Court Country had to show them some respect.
Some even rumored that if you paid a sufficient price, the Eight Directions Building could reach heaven’s ears, connecting you with people from the Upper Realm!
After several inquiries for directions, Lu Yuan finally arrived in front of a ten-zhang tall pavilion.
From the exterior,
this pavilion looked modest and ancient, except that everyone coming and going was a Qi Refiner, making it no different from ordinary ancient buildings.
But Lu Yuan noticed that among the Qi Refiners entering the pavilion, there were some with Divine Bridge Realm strength.
Yet, even those in the Divine Bridge Realm had to restrain all their aura and dared not act presumptuous when entering the Eight Directions Building!
"Excuse me, sir, are you looking to purchase information or perhaps stay at the inn, or do you have other needs?"
A blue-clad attendant immediately approached diligently.
"You can stay here?"
Lu Yuan was taken aback, thinking he had walked into the wrong place.
"Of course, besides selling information, the Eight Directions Building also offers food, drink, entertainment, and more."
"As long as you have money, anything can be bought here."
The blue-clad attendant, seeing that Lu Yuan was new to the Eight Directions Building, explained in detail.
"I see."
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Sir, exotic beasts are not allowed inside the pavilion, so you can leave the fierce-maned horse in my care."
The blue-clad attendant was about to take the reins from Lu Yuan.
But the fierce-maned horse, worried Lu Yuan might sell it or take the opportunity to escape, refused to move, standing firm in its place.
"Wait here for me for a while, I’ll be right back."
Lu Yuan persuaded helplessly, also pondering whether he should buy a spirit beast pouch.
Otherwise, it was quite inconvenient to take this silly horse everywhere.
Yet, the fierce-maned horse was as stubborn as an ox, unmoved by any means of persuasion from Lu Yuan.
Until it saw another attendant leading a mare, its eyes lit up immediately, and it followed enthusiastically, not looking back.
Lu Yuan felt both amused and exasperated, so he handed a small piece of broken gold to the blue-clad attendant, asking him to take good care of the horse, before walking into the Four Directions Building.
An attendant came forward to ascertain Lu Yuan’s purpose and immediately led him to a vacant private room.
Inside the private room,
there was a wooden table and two wicker chairs.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Lu Yuan waited there for a moment before an old man in black entered through the door.
However, upon seeing Lu Yuan’s youthful face, the old man’s pupils slightly contracted.
Then the old man flicked his finger, activating the array set up in the private room.
Shielding all prying eyes, he finally spoke.
"Sir, I am a steward of the Eight Directions Building. What kind of information do you wish to purchase?"
"You can buy any information here?"
Lu Yuan tested cautiously.
"Apart from certain unspeakable taboos, the Eight Directions Building knows everything, but customers need to pay an adequate reward."
"Moreover, the Eight Directions Building is built on honesty and has a sterling reputation, never disclosing customer information to anyone, so there’s no need to worry about safety."
The old man in black nodded, his tone brimming with absolute confidence!
