David also stood up. “Good.”
Wu Yuan turned to Su Jingqiu, “Jingqiu, take Mr. Chen to the best guest room and arrange everything. All of Mr. Chen’s needs must be met.”
Su Jingqiu bowed slightly. “Yes.”
He walked over to David and motioned for him to come with him. “Mr. Chen, please follow me.”
David followed Su Jingqiu out of the reception room and into the teleportation array.
The teleportation device flashed, and the two of them disappeared from the ninth floor.
Wu Yuan stood alone in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the sea of clouds outside, his red-gold eyes gleaming with cunning.
His fingers tapped lightly on the window sill, producing a soft thumping sound.
“The Great Luo Golden Scripture, the power of chaos, the legacy of a Daoist sect” he muttered to himself, the smile on his lips growing wider, “David, who exactly are you?”
No one can answer that.
Outside the window, the sea of clouds undulated in the sunlight, and the floating islands of Tianlan City appeared and disappeared in the sea of clouds, like fairy tale mountains floating in a dream.
Su Jingqiu led David to the seventh floor of the Void Pavilion.
The seventh floor is a special guest room area for VIPs. There were only eight guest rooms on the entire floor, each occupying an area of several tens of square meters and decorated with extraordinary luxury.
David’s guest room is at the end of the corridor. The door was engraved with the emblem of the Void Merchant Guild. After pushing open the door, a spacious suite came into view.
It is fully equipped with a living room, bedroom, meditation room, and bathroom, and each room is very beautifully appointed.
The floor of the living room is covered with jade, the walls are decorated with calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and priceless antique porcelain is displayed in the corner of the room.
The bed in the bedroom is made of warm ancient jade. Lying on it, you can feel the warm spiritual energy flowing into your body, making you feel very comfortable.
The walls of the cultivation room were filled with spirit gathering runes, and the concentration of spiritual energy was several orders of magnitude higher than outside. Cultivating here for one day was equivalent to cultivating outside for one month.
Su Jingqiu stood in the doorway and did not enter.
“Master Chen, if you need anything, just press the summoning jade talisman at the door and a servant will come to serve you.”
His voice was calm, but his tone contained a hint of respect. “The President will pick up Mr. Chen himself tomorrow morning. Mr. Chen, rest tonight.”
David nodded. “Thank you, Vice President Su.”
Su Jingqiu bowed slightly, turned around, then left, her light gray long dress showing a faint shadow under the light of the corridor lights.
David closed the door and sat cross-legged on the futon in the cultivation room.
He wasn’t practicing cultivation; he was meditating.
He believed about 70% of what Wu Yuan said. It was true that Wu Yuan coveted the Great Luo Golden Scripture and the power of chaos.
However, the 30% that Wu Yuan didn’t mention was the key.
Was the secret realm Wu Yuan mentioned really an ancient battlefield?
If it really was an ancient battlefield like the Return Ruins, what was inside?
Why does Wu Yuan need his help?
Was this simply because the power of chaos could overcome spatial turbulence?
David didn’t believe things were that simple.
The Void Merchant Guild is spread across various realms, and its strength is in no way inferior to that of the gods.
If cultivators of the fourth or fifth level of the Golden Immortal realm cannot enter, then we will send even stronger cultivators.
Does the Void Merchant Guild not even have cultivators at the fifth rank of the Golden Immortal realm or above?
Except—that secret realm has cultivation level restrictions, and only those with cultivation levels below a certain threshold can enter.
Or maybe there is another secret.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of David’s lips.
He was determined to find out what Wu Yuan didn’t want him to know.
He took out a communication jade talisman from his storage ring. It was not the talisman from Qingyun Cave, but rather the scarlet jade talisman that Su Yuqi had left for him.
He channeled spiritual power into the jade talisman, causing it to heat up slightly, and dark red light flickered in the cultivation room.
No response.
Su Yuqi probably didn’t accept it, or she accepted it but didn’t want to reciprocate it.
David kept the jade talisman, a glimmer of sadness flashed in his purple eyes.
Is he okay?
Has your injury healed?
Do you face further danger?
He didn’t know.
All he knew was that the woman didn’t remember him anymore.
In his eyes, he was just an ordinary foreigner.
Just that.
David took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic thoughts inside him, closed his eyes, and slowly launched the Mind Concentration Technique.
The power of chaos flowed through his meridians, gradually dispelling the fatigue of the day.
All the spirit gathering runes in the cultivation room lit up, and dense spiritual energy poured in from all directions, entering his body and being refined by the Chaos Flames into the purest Chaos Power.
