Chapter - 24

"Long Lin, you are a Spirit Grade Pill Refiner, aren't you?"

"Young Master, Yes." Long Lin raised his head proudly.

"Then why does your pill taste this bad?" Long Chen frowned. He had eaten pills from Huian before but the pills refined by Long Lin are too weird in taste.

"Young Master, it's because I don't have a Spirit Fire."

Long Chen knew about Spirit Fire. They are also on the list of top things cultivators die for.

Resources and treasures are categorized into Mortal, Spirit, Elite, Martial, Earth, and Heaven in this world. For example, an alchemist, pill refiner or forger would spend a lot of time and resources searching for fires that can help them improve the quality of their creations.

Eventhough Long Lin is a Spirit Grade Pill Refiner, he can only make low-level Spirit Grade Pills due to lack of a Spirit Fire.

'Mission: Get Voilet Solar Gem from Su Lingxin and give it to Long Lin.'

'Reward: 10 Karma Points.'

'System's honest comment: Su clan - Dongnan City.'

'System's additional comment: Has to be an equal exchange.'

"Long Lin, Have you heard about Voilet Solar Gem?"

"Young Master, I do. It can improve the quality of Fire under Martial Fires. It's scarce, and I had never come across such a thing till now."

"Hmm. Huian, can you exchange that we don't need with Su Lingxin and get the Voilet Solar Gem in his hands. Make sure it's an equivalent exchange."

"Sure. Young Master, I will leave immediately."

Long Lin took a profound look at Long Chen. Although this young Master's constantly annoyed, rude, low talent in cultivation... Anyways, he somehow managed to get this senior to work for him.

Perhaps it would be a good idea for me to become his loyal follower.

Suppose my little Xi also somehow manages to become the senior's disciple. Wouldn't they achieve greatness in the future as well? When a man reaches the heavens, his dogs follow as well.

He decided to kneel and swear an oath of loyalty to this young man.

Long Chen watched Long Lin's changing expressions. Is this bastard thinking of some cringy stuff?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dongnan City - Su Clan premises

Su Yun was genuinely anxious. He never thought that the first thing to hear when he woke up was that his grandfather was selling the treasure.

Running for a few minutes, he arrived at the clan hall only to hear a loud, aged voice: "Miss Huian, please, please. My Su clan welcomes you."

Entering through the door, he saw a few people sitting in the hall. Six males and two females.

Aside from one girl, he could recognize the other people in the hall. They were all Su clansmen. One of them was an elderly man, his grandfather, SU Lingxin. The remaining people were his uncles and cousins.

The other female was Dong Yang. Her grandfather was his grandfather's sworn brother.

Su Yun looked towards the young girl. He had never seen such beauty in both his previous life and current life. Her smile blossomed flowers, and her skin was white as snow. He heard someone mention that such beauty could bring disaster to a country in his previous life. His eyes brightened looking at her.

So, this girl came from Blue Cloud City? Interesting.

"Hmm?"

Su Yun revealed a smile as he listened to the conversation. Then, finally, he could figure a few things out.

A few servants came forwards to serve tea and snacks. They stood respectfully at a distance but close enough to help them when called.

"Patriarch Su, what do you think of my proposal?" Huian spoke in a sweet and melodious voice. If not for her young Master, she wouldn't even bother to come to this place.

"Yes. Miss Huian." Su Lingxin hurriedly spoke. His age was enough to be called grandfather by this girl. Yet compared to her background, him talking to her was already considered good for him.

He had acquired this treasure some time ago, and the nearby clans and sects had already started pressuring him to sell it. If not for Miss Huian today, perhaps his family would have faced some difficulties.

"Miss Huian, may I know where you acquired the Infernal Swan Heart?"

Miss Huian frowned a little.

Su Lingxin immediately clarified: "Miss Huian, I am not trying to pry information. It's just that my clan predominantly deals with Yin pills. If we could obtain a few or get some information, perhaps...."

"Patriarch Su, as long as you are willing to exchange the Voilet Solar Gem, I will give you all the information."

"Miss Huian, this old man willingly accepts the trade. Su Zheng, come here and meet Miss Huian." Su Lingxin turned and spoke to a young man standing beside him.

"Yes, Patriarch!" Su Zheng spoke with great admiration. Then, cupping his hands in Miss Huian's direction, he said, "Su Zheng greets Miss Huian." There was heat in his gaze. After all, this was his first time seeing such incomparable beauty.

Miss Huian only nodded with a smile.

"Patriarch Su, I can see several talented people in your clan." she praised.

"Miss Huian, why don't you stay for a day in our humble clan so that we can convey a little bit of our appreciation?" Su Lingxin hurriedly asked. Although in status, both her's and his clan were the same, except she is a disciple of Lady Long.

"I apologize, Patriarch Su. But, unfortunately, I need to return to my clan." Miss Huian declined reasonably. Why would she want to stay here?

"Miss Huian. Please wait a moment." She heard a voice and looked at the young man standing near the door.

The countenances of Su clan members changed slightly. As much as they hated this trash, they couldn't be unmannered in front of a guest.

Su Yun ignored the others in the room and looked at Miss Huian. "Miss, I know why you want the Voilet Solar Gem."

The Su clan members expressions changed.

Miss Huian calmly questioned him: "Oh?"

"Naturally!" Su Yun proudly nodded. He was a Divine Emperor in his previous life. Is there anything he didn't know?

Miss Huian was silent. Voilet Solar Gem is scarce, and Long Chen could use it for himself. She really wanted to stop her young Master from giving the Voilet Solar Gem to Long Lin, but he denied it. However, wouldn't it be even better if this little guy had a more suitable way?

"Is it for flames or his body?" Su Yun didn't continue.

Miss Huian's heart trembled, but her face did not reveal anything. "Let's make a deal."

Good, if Young Master can also acquire mastery over flames, that would be perfect?

Su Yun smiled. "I only have one condition; you have to become my follower."

Miss Huian narrowed her eyes, and she sighed.

"Miss Huian, You might not think much of me now, but I can show you a wider horizon. The Nine Holy Lands, Immortal Ascension Platform, Divine Battle Grounds, have you seen them before?" Su Yun said. The people in this world might think they are strong, but they are just frogs compared to the broader world. As long as he said a few sweet words, what beauty? It's nothing in his eyes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dongnan City - Su Clan

"Young Master, are you all right?" a voice came out from beside him, seemingly startled. A cold little hand was placed onto his forehead.

Su Yun confirmed again. Yes, he has reincarnated. Given his previous attainment in cultivation, taking a few moments to ensure something like this was truly unbelievable.

He stood at the apex of cultivation in this world in his previous life. But, due to the evil hands of his enemy, he failed in his tribulation. Else, how could this Divine Emperor die so quickly?

Su Yun flipped through his memories. At first, he was confused, and then he became enraged.

His predecessor was the only grandson of the Su clan's Patriarch. His parents had all passed away long ago. The Su is one of the strongest clans in Dongnan city.

But he was considered as garbage since his childhood and had received much derision from those around him.

To let him have a bright future, his grandfather had made a deal with the Heavenly Flame Sect. He would trade the Voilet Solar Gem in his possession for a disciple position.

Wait? Voilet Solar Gem.

He suddenly remembered that the servants were talking about an elder visiting his clan. Su Yun wanted to meet his grandfather immediately to stop the deal. However, he had better uses for Voilet Solar Gem.

Ignoring the memories of his predecessor's death, he immediately wanted to run towards the clan hall. But, let's think about everything else later.

He snorted. Now that he is reincarnated into this body, he will care for these trashes.

Hmm? Why do I feel that I have already done this before?

Su Yun ran towards the door. But, as he opened the door, he saw a figure blocking him: "Young Master, the Patriarch has asked you to stay in the room."

Su Yun coldly asked: "Are you stopping me?"

The figure apologetically said, "This is Patriarch's order. Young Master, please."

Su Yun was furious now.

"Get lost!" he shouted.

PAAA !!!!!

Su Yun couldn't believe this. His grandfather came over from somewhere and slapped him.

He heard a furious shout: "You little bastard. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? How dare you talk to Miss Huian like that?"

Wait? What's happening here?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue Cloud City - Long Clan

Long Chen was staring at a gem in his hand.

Sometimes he wondered whether he was in some made-up world by someone who had nothing better to do.

He had eaten grapes before, but it never tasted like any grape from Earth.

Now, a grape-like fruit was in his hands, except Huian told him that it could improve flames.

What's even more confusing is that it's called a gem.

He looked at Huian and asked: "What should he do now?"

It's always better to ask.

People used some mud to refine it into a pill and eat in this world. Sometimes they used some fruit to make the sword shinier.

Again, It's always better to ask.

Huian responded: "Eat it."

Long Chen threw the Voilet Solar Gem to Long Lin and said: "Eat it."

'Mission: Get Voilet Solar Gem from Su Lingxin and give it to Long Lin. - FAILED'

'Reward: 10 Karma Points. - FAILED'

'System's honest comment: It's such a simple mission, yet you screwed up.'

'System's additional comment: Sometimes the system is bewildered.'

"System, the gem is given to Long Lin. What do you mean by failed?"

"Host, Please check with Huian."

Long Chen sighed, and his heart ached a little.

He looked at Huian and asked: "What happened over at the Su clan?"

Huian snorted: "Young Master, you wouldn't believe what happened today. Some little bastard got full of himself and dared to ask me to be his follower. So I stomped on the face of that little fellow. He should have woken up by now."

"I only asked to exchange something for the gem."

"Young Master, Hmph. That little Su bastard dares to mess around with me. So, I demanded the Su clan give me this gem as compensation."

Long Chen didn't know what to say. The mission's failed anyway. No point in quibbling about it.

But, the most crucial question is...

"Huian, that's fine. who is this little girl?"

"Young Master, Hmph. This girl is the fiancee of that little bastard. I demanded her as well."

Long Chen's heart ached even more. Should I consult some cardiologist here? This is frequently happening these days.

Perhaps I should start learning some Talismans.
