Chapter 193: Titan Race

"Congratulations on becoming the Child of Aptitude, Lu Zheng" Burning Ash Demonness said, trying desperately to treat him like a junior.

"Thank you. I trust that you did not call me here to congratulate me. Unless my handsome face has managed to attract big fish" Lu Zheng said cheekily.

"Haha, you wish" Burning Ash Demonness chuckled. "My Blacksteel Association wants to purchase your Immortal Sword"

"My Immortal Sword?" Lu Zheng's thoughts shifted as he held Mei Luan protectively. Mei Luan was an Immortal Sword that had fallen from Divine Grade. Her potential was unbelievable.

"Hmm. The Primordial Spirit Vein inscribed inside is extremely important to a force of artificers and alchemists like us. Such items are thoroughly rare" Burning Ash Demonness said gently.

"Oh" Lu Zheng soon understood. She meant his Soaring Vermillion and not Mei Luan.

The Primordial Spirit Vein he had inscribed inside the Immortal Sword was something he had seen when his soul shattered into a million fragments on earth. In one of his previous lifetimes, he had been an artificer from the ancient eras.

"How much are you offering?" Lu Zheng soon became interested in the conversation.

The Primordial Spirit Vein was extremely rare and was worth hundreds of thousands of vital stones and as a senior, Burning Ash Demonness would not be stingy to him, a junior.

Actions speak louder than words. Burning Ash Demonness revealed three spatial rings and gave them to Lu Zheng.

When Lu Zheng refined them and sunk his soul consciousness into it, he was utterly stunned by what he saw. Millions of vital stones and cultivation materials laid disorderly inside the spatial rings like piles of treasures.

He knew Blacksteel Association was wealthy but he did not know how so. Now, it seemed he had underestimated them.

Despite his shock, Lu Zheng managed to control himself and did not show it. With a simple smile, he gave the Soaring Vermillion to Burning Ash Demonness.

The moment she held the Immortal Sword, deep columns of fire burnt around the sword and dark smoke bellowed from her sleeves. The heat that radiated from her body could burn any human to ashes.

Lu Zheng clicked his tongue. Immortal Swords displayed battle strength in accordance to their wielder. The stronger a person was, the stronger the Immortal Sword became.

This was because the dao imprints on the Immortal Sword could resonate with the dao imprints on the martial warrior's body. This was the same for all Immortal Grade artifacts.

"It seems Soaring Vermillion fits you well" Lu Zheng smiled faintly.

"Hmm" Burning Ash Demonness controlled her Essence and admired the Immortal Sword. She had used many artifacts and weapons but none had fit her so well. It was like it was perfectly created for her.

"Primordial Spirit Veins… they really are something" Burning Ash Demonness admired the sword before bidding Lu Zheng farewell. In a brilliant flash of fire and smoke, she disappeared into the distant sky.

Zuo Xiuzhen gazed at Lu Zheng and wondered what type of world he lived in.

They were both Void Passage realm experts but he had argued with the Four Artificer Elders and made a business transaction with a Dao Formation realm powerhouse.

Those people were entities with battle strength that could destroy realms and spill rivers of blood. Yet, Lu Zheng spoke with them like he was above them.

Zuo Xiuzhen was sure of it now. Before, she only meant it as a joke but now, she was resolute: "Lu Zheng, I want to walk the world with you"

Lu Zheng was slightly surprised before chuckling: "The world can be a very dangerous place"

Zuo Xiuzhen shook her head and determined within her heart: "Come what may, I will be with you"

…..

Ethan and the ten men from the Death God's Legion flew slowly through the cloudy sky. The faces of the ten men were twisted in anger at the man before them.

Ethan had already promised Tyreece that he had used an information path method to track Lu Zheng's position. It was because of this that the man had allowed Ethan to summon ten Acquisition realm experts.

Now, all of a sudden, Ethan claimed that he could not detect Lu Zheng again. The ten men had already been flying in circles all over Western Plains in search of the unknown Lu Zheng.

The men already felt like Ethan had deceived Tyreece to save his own face. Now that his lie had been exposed, he was stalling for time.

Ethan who wore an ugly expression frantically urged his methods. Suddenly, his expression faded into a cruel smile as he shouted: "Found him!"

"Finally" The ten men breathed sighs of relief.

It turned out that Lu Zheng was hiding in a city. Ethan's methods were simple and could not even bypass the walls of Blacksteel City.

"Let's go!" Ethan shouted once more as he regained his confidence. A trail of white light formed behind him as he used his movement technique.

Not wanting to be outdone by a Void Passage realm expert, the ten men urged their death Essence, disappearing from where they were.
