Shao Qingfeng was the Right Palace Master's person in charge of the outer sanctum's black market, so he controlled a great amount of resources.
But, it wasn't difficult for Shao Qingfeng to keep some of them in secret.
After a long time, it wasn't strange for him to have so many resources.
Most of the things inside were useless to Su Yu, and even if he sold all of them, he would only get 100,000 crystals.
Most importantly, he would need to spend a great deal of time and energy to deal with all of them. So, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
His True Spirit Dragon Tendon mission required millions of Crystal Stones. A mere hundred thousand Crystal Stones was useless.
So, it would be better to give them to Elder Liao as a reward and win him over.
"No, no problem. Young master, many thanks for your reward." Elder Liao's face became flushed with delight, and his depression from being enslaved disappeared.
It seemed like he had run into a generous master, as he had received such a generous reward just for finding a few seeds. So, how could his reward be any less than this in the future?
"Okay, you did well this time. Now, I have another mission for you. Are you willing to do it? This mission is quite troublesome, and it might take you several months or even several years, "Su Yu said.
Several years? Several years could pass in the blink of an eye for martial artists.
Elder Liao nodded without hesitation. "I'm willing to go through fire and water for you."
Elder Liao was motivated by such a great reward.
Su Yu nodded. "Fine, I will write a letter for you. Go to the northwest of the Central Prefecture and look for a group of people. There aren't many of them, only about a hundred million of them, and they have just settled down in the northwest. They should have formed a small city, and the strongest among them should be at the Divine Master Realm.
Now that he had settled down in the Red Blood Palace, Su Yu wanted to inquire about Xia Jingyu and Qin Xianer, as well as the Zhenlong World's living beings.
He hoped that they could settle down somewhere in the Central Prefecture.
The letter contained his instructions to the King of Darkness, his greetings to Xia Jingyu and Qin Xianer, as well as his recent situation. He asked them not to worry about him.
Deliver a letter? Elder Liao was startled. He was prepared to go through fire and water for this mission, yet it was just a simple matter of delivering a letter.
"I don't know their exact location, so you will need to ask around and search for them. This will consume a lot of time and energy, so you must remember to keep a low profile and not let anyone notice them." Su Yu stared at him, then said, "After you are done, come back and report to me."
Elder Liao heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
Su Yu quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Elder Liao.
"Don't worry, Young Master. This old servant swears to complete this task with my life." Elder Liao cupped his hands at Su Yu and left. He had already thought it through, and his future prospects would be much better if he followed Su Yu than if he were to die in the Soul Seizing Palace. Thus, even if he had to leave the sanctum for a long time and get expelled from the Soul Seizing Palace, he still wanted to complete Su Yu's mission first.
After watching him leave, Su Yu remained silent for a long time, then silently disappeared into the forest.
By the time he returned to the sect, it was already evening.
As Su Yu looked at the time, he decided to bid farewell to the four demons first before entering the cultivation room to go into secluded cultivation.
When he returned to the little fiend's mansion, he discovered that there were two people sitting quietly in the mansion. Opposite them was a smiling little fiend who was chatting amiably with them.
The two who were being talked to tensed up, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Su Yu walked over in surprise and asked, "Brother Yunque, junior sister Qinger?"
They were the Shangguan family's siblings, Shangguan Yunque and his younger sister, Shangguan Qinger.
When they heard Su Yu's voice, they felt as if they had just been granted amnesty.
Shangguan Yunque quickly stood up and welcomed him. "Brother Su, it's really great that you have come back."
When Su Yu observed Shangguan Yunque carefully, he noticed that his whole body was drenched in sweat. It was obvious that he had been scared by the little fiend.
Shangguan Qinger also turned around. She looked at Su Yu calmly and didn't utter a single word.
"Brother Yunque, did you come here to look for me?" Su Yu asked in confusion.
Shangguan Yunque nodded and looked cautiously at Gongsun Wuxie. He then lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Su, can I have a word with you?"
Before he could reply, the little fiend's eyes curled into crescent moons, and she said with a smile, "This isn't good. You came to my house to look for my brother Yuxian, yet you want to talk behind my back."
Shangguan Yunque's heart thumped, as he was quite afraid of the little fiend.
Su Yu glared at her angrily and said, "Nonsense! You should leave for a while. Brother Yunque surely has a reason for looking for me. "
The little fiend waved her fists angrily and said, "You b * stard! I will remember you!"
She then flung her braids behind her head and left without looking back.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Qinger's eyes flickered slightly. She stared at Su Yu and said, "I really didn't expect that the lad who used to be at my house would become the Central Demon of the Demon Mountain, and his abilities are frighteningly strong. Look, even Gongsun Wuxie is afraid of you. If my father knew about this, he would probably be filled with regret."
Shangguan Yunque rolled his eyes at her. "How can you speak to Brother Su in such a manner?"
Shangguan Qinger stamped her feet and crossed her arms in front of her chest as she stared at Shangguan Yunque.
Why are these siblings quarreling?
"Brother Su, you should be aware of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' current situation, right?" Shangguan Yunque asked sternly.
Su Yu nodded slightly. "It's really chaotic, and the factions outside of the eighteen great factions are under attack."
In the past, when he had followed Shangguan Yunque back to the Shangguan family, they had run into a mysterious Beast Tamer on the way, and he had almost lost his life there.
Moreover, news of some factions being exterminated had spread. For example, the Ximen family, which used to be ranked third, had been exterminated in a single night, without even leaving behind a single heir.
All of these signs showed that there was a terrifying dark faction in the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands that was gradually devouring the other small factions.
As the Shangguan family was ranked second among the factions, it was natural for them to be afraid of such a thing.
"That's right, so all factions are looking for a backer in hopes of getting protection. The other factions have already found different backers, but our Shangguan family still hasn't made a decision yet," Shangguan Yunque said.
Su Yu raised his brows and asked in surprise, "Brother Yunque, do you mean that you want me to introduce you to the faction's experts so that the Shangguan family can protect you?"
He had just joined the faction, so he didn't know as many experts as Shangguan Yunque did. Moreover, there was still Palace Mistress Mo's registered disciple, Shangguan Qinger, who had come into contact with many experts.
Shangguan Qinger was infuriated, so she said angrily, "He doesn't want you to introduce a backer to him, he wants you to be his backer! Humph! My brother must have had a fever, so why would he choose you? "
Shangguan Yunque rolled his eyes at her, nodded earnestly, and said, "She's right. Brother Su, I hope that you can protect the Shangguan family in the future chaos."
Su Yu was confused by this, and he wondered … Why does Shangguan Yunque think that I can protect his family?
In fact, with Su Yu's power, as long as the faction that invaded the Shangguan family didn't have a middle-stage Divine Master, he could still protect it.
However, with his current power, he couldn't protect it completely.
After he mulled it over for a moment, Su Yu said, "I can't really be considered a backer, but if the Shangguan family is in trouble, you can look for me. If it's necessary, I will surely help you."
As a friend, if the Shangguan family was in trouble, and Su Yu had the power to save it, he would surely help them. But, if the enemy was too strong, Su Yu wouldn't be able to help.
"Brother Su, I knew that you are a loyal person." Shangguan Yunque revealed a faint smile. "Brother Su, you can set your mind at ease. It seems like that faction will still need some time before they attack. So, during this time, the Shangguan family will take the initiative to strengthen its defenses. Brother Su, you can also quickly stabilize your cultivation. I believe that even if that faction invades, it won't be able to harm the Shangguan family."
As he spoke, Shangguan Yunque took out the Five Color Exquisite Pagoda from his sleeves.
When it appeared, the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth auras in the room became more intense by more than thirty percent.
"I can't repay you, so you should keep this object. This pagoda contains the Five Elements' Lore, and if you comprehend it often, it will be very beneficial to your cultivation of the five elements." Shangguan Yunque stuffed it into Su Yu's hands, then instructed him, "Brother Su, I hope that you won't spread it. This is my only request."
Su Yu held it in his palm subconsciously. In an instant, the remaining disastrous fire in Su Yu's body started flickering, and it seemed like it was going out of control.
Su Yu was startled by this, and he hurriedly used his Vital Energy to envelop the Five Color Small Pagoda. He then said in surprise, "What a shocking small pagoda!"
At this moment, Shangguan Qinger curled her lips and snorted. "Isn't it obvious? This is our Shangguan family's secret canon, the Five Elements Lore Art, which has been passed down since ancient times. It's our Shangguan family's secret, and it won't spread to any outsiders. Yet, my brother insisted on giving it to you! Let's see how my father will deal with him when he goes back! "
Upon hearing this, Su Yu's expression became solemn, and he returned the Five Color Small Pagoda to Shangguan Yunque. "Brother Yunque, I can't accept such a precious object."
Shangguan Yunque didn't take it, and he just smiled. "This object was passed down to me, so it's up to me to decide who I give it to." His expression became somewhat sad and bitter. "Moreover, no one has managed to comprehend this secret canon for several hundred years. So, leaving it in the hands of the Shangguan family will just be like a pearl covered in dust. Brother Su, if you give it to me, you might be able to shine even brighter. Brother Su, you should just accept it. As long as you don't spread it, it'll be fine."
Su Yu still felt somewhat apologetic. After all, handing over a family's inheritance to him had an extraordinary significance.
When Shangguan Qinger saw Su Yu's hesitation, she said angrily, "Since my brother asked you to accept it, then just accept it. In any case, this object can't be exposed to the public, and it can't be given to stronger martial artists. So, it's only suitable for you. Don't let down my brother's good intentions."
After she spoke, Shangguan Qinger stomped her feet and left angrily.
After hesitating for a while, Su Yu bowed to her gratefully and accepted the small exquisite pagoda.
"Brother Su, don't mind my younger sister. She was in a bad mood recently, but she still agreed to give the Five Element Mysteries Art to you." Shangguan Yunque looked at his younger sister's back and sighed helplessly.
Su Yu was surprised, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Shangguan Yunque replied helplessly, "It's rumored that it's related to a person called Su Yu, who fought alongside my younger sister in the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion. It was only recently that we learned that he came to the Jiuzhou Continent, and once he appeared, he chased after the Blood Emperor and killed him."
He then added, "Because of this, the inner sanctum's higher-ups looked for my younger sister many times, and they all blamed her for not working hard enough at that time, which was why she didn't learn more about Su Yu." Shangguan Yunque spoke helplessly, then changed his tone. "Now that I think about it, according to my younger sister, that guy called Su Yu is younger than me, yet he was able to kill an existence like the Blood Emperor. I still can't believe it."
"I'm afraid that Gu Taixu and the others are nothing in front of such a genius," Shangguan Yunque said.
