Following the clear and melodious sound, the one who entered this time was a red-clothed girl who looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. She had bright eyes and white teeth, an innocent and unaffected expression, and a soft waist that could only be held by a single arm. In terms of beauty, among all the girls Zhang Yan had seen, apart from Zhou Youchu, there was no one else who could compare. However, even though she concealed it very well, she couldn't completely hide the faint bewitching aura on her body.
When Chen Tong saw this, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.
When the young girl saw that there were already two people sitting in the pavilion, she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. She curtsied towards Pu Yuzi and said, "Junior Luo Zhenzhen pays her respects to senior."
Pu Yuzi didn't seem to be discriminating against her. With a kind expression, he pointed at the last seat, indicating that she should sit there.
Luo Zhenzhen saw that there were two beautiful maids standing behind Chen Tong, so after she sat down, she couldn't help but move closer to Zhang Yan.
Although her actions were unintentional, it still provoked Chen Tong's displeasure. He thought to himself, "Hmph, a trifling demoness actually dares to look down on this young master. After we get here, I'll let you experience this young master's methods."
Pu Yuzi watched as the three of them sat down. With a wave of his hand, an expanse of rosy clouds covered the entire pavilion. The three of them didn't find this strange.
He said with a beaming smile, "Since you've come here, I'm sure you've heard of my sect's rules, so I won't say too much." He pointed a finger at Zhang Yan and said, "You were the first to arrive, so you should speak first. What do you want?"
Zhang Yan had heard from Ai Zhongwen that if he met someone from the Heaven Mending House, he could ask them for an item or request them to do something. As for whether they were willing or not, that would depend on one's own luck. Normally, as long as it wasn't too excessive, they would agree. As a result, cultivators often used the words "all requests will be granted" from the Earth Temple to mock the disciples of the Heaven Mending House.
However, the people of the Heaven Mending House wouldn't give you something for free. They would often assign you to do something else. Only, these things couldn't be compared to what they would pay, and they would never purposely make things difficult for others.
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and said, "Junior seeks an item that can collect the five Qi and can be carried around the world."
Originally, he planned to use his merits to go to the Spiritual Mechanism Institution to exchange for a certain magical treasure. However, even if Ge Shuo could return, it seemed like he would not be able to protect himself. Even if he was able to obtain the five merits that he gave himself, he was afraid that he would have to go through a lot of trouble. Since he bumped into people from the Heaven Mending Pavilion here today, then it was his lucky chance.
Hearing that Zhang Yan's request was so simple, Pu Yuzi's face revealed some surprise. He nodded and waved his sleeves, taking out 3 glowing items, "I have 3 treasures here. They are the Crouching Air Sac, the Ten Thousand Army Pouch, and the Mountain and River Cloud Diagram."
He smiled craftily and said, "You're the only one asking me, so I can only give you the Crouching Air Sac. However, if you can convince the two beside you, and they are willing to give you the opportunity that they asked for themselves, then you can choose one of these three magical treasures."
After saying these words, Chen Tong's face revealed a slight sneer. Luo Zhenzhen, on the other hand, propped up her cheeks as she curiously looked at Zhang Yan with her beautiful eyes.
Zhang Yan looked at these three treasures, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Not mentioning the Crouching Air Sac, it was a high quality spiritual tool. The Ten Thousand Army Pouch was a profound tool, and the Mountain and River Cloud Diagram was even more extraordinary; it was a true tool! One has to know that as long as it was a true tool, it would definitely nurture an origin spirit!
However, this item could not be used in battle, so its value would inevitably drop by a few levels. As a result, even though Chen Tong and Luo Zhenzhen also saw it, they did not feel that it was all that good.
Seeing that Zhang Yan was deep in thought, Pu Yuzi smiled faintly and turned to look at Chen Tong, saying, "You're the second one to come here. What do you want?" Without waiting for Chen Tong to speak, Pu Yuzi stretched out his hand to stop him, saying, "Wait. If you want me to take you in, then don't say it. Otherwise, you'll waste this opportunity for nothing."
Chen Tong smiled and said, "I've received my mother's guidance, so I naturally won't overestimate myself. I've come here with another request." He stretched out his hand, and the beautiful maid behind him took out an item from her pouch and placed it on the table.
Everyone in the pavilion turned to look at him.
It was a scroll, and the words "True Scroll of the Hornless Dragon" were written on it.
Chen Tong cupped his hands and said, "This item was obtained by Jiayan from a wandering cultivator. It looks like a scroll, but it's actually a treasure. It's said that there's a small divine art passed down from ancient times hidden within. However, this treasure is peculiar. It's all written in eroded runes, and each person can only read it for two hours. After reading it, they can't open it again. This item has a spirit. If I invite someone to read it, and if there's someone who has already read it by the side, they only need to take a brief glance at it before it closes on its own. Therefore, I wish to ask Senior Pu Yuzi to solve this problem for me. "
Pu Yuzi glanced at it and said while twirling his beard, "This scroll is divided into three scrolls. If you beg me, I can only decipher one scroll for you. However, if you can convince these two to give up, I'll decipher one more scroll for you."
Chen Tong wasn't surprised, but he couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, I received a hint from my mother and knew that this Senior Pu Yuzi would be staying here. I waited here for ten days and finally found the opportunity. I wanted to monopolize all the benefits, but I didn't expect these two loathsome things to come out of nowhere. I need to think of a way to make them give up their own opportunity.
Pu Yuzi ignored him and shifted his gaze to Luo Zhenzhen. He said warmly, "Little girl, what do you wish for?"
Luo Zhenzhen sat up straight and looked at Pu Yuzi without blinking. She said seriously, "Senior, my family is about to move far away. It's just that I have a younger cousin who went missing last year. I don't know if she's dead or alive. I've been very close to her since I was young, so I wish for senior to calculate whether she's dead or alive. If she's still in this world, where is she?"
At this point, she stood up and bowed deeply to Pu Yuzi.
Pu Yuzi sighed and said, "Little girl, you came at a bad time. Three days ago, Daoren lost a bet with someone. He wants me to not calculate anything for three years, so you can only ask for one thing."
Luo Zhenzhen's eyes were filled with disappointment. She thought about it and shook her head.
Pu Yuzi said curiously, "Don't tell me you don't have anything to ask of me?"
Luo Zhenzhen said, "The things junior asks of senior can't be done, and senior can do it. As for the rest, junior doesn't want to ask."
Hearing her say that, Pu Yuzi didn't mind. He smiled and said, "That's up to you."
On the other side, Chen Tong was overjoyed. He knocked on the table with his finger and said, "My dear, since you don't have anything else to ask, why don't you back out and give this opportunity to me?"
Luo Zhenzhen was a girl without any schemes. She didn't feel that it was a pity to give up this opportunity. Just as she was about to agree, Zhang Yan's eyes flashed and he suddenly said, "Wait, Fellow Daoist Luo, can you give this opportunity to me? I know someone who can calculate for you. He has a hundred percent certainty that he can calculate the current whereabouts of your cousin. "
Luo Zhenzhen's eyes widened. "Really?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, we can sign a spell contract."
Luo Zhenzhen nodded and said, "I believe you. I'll give you this opportunity."
In her heart, she didn't think that this opportunity was very precious. Thus, when she heard that someone could calculate her cousin's whereabouts, she immediately agreed.
Chen Tong was a bit stunned. He didn't expect that this opportunity would be taken by Zhang Yan just like that.
However, divining the whereabouts of a cultivator was not a simple matter. Aside from needing a special magic treasure, it would also damage one's cultivation and lifespan. Not many people would do such a thing. Pu Yuzi's earlier evasion was most likely just an excuse.
However, Chen Tong thought that this was fine. He originally wanted to convince two people, but now it seemed that he only needed to convince one person. Moreover, he wouldn't have to deal with that demoness anymore.
In his eyes, the things that Zhang Yan needed weren't that big of a deal. At worst, he would just give him a few for free.
After making up his mind, he cupped his hands at Zhang Yan and said, "My clan also has the item that this brother desires. It's called the Purple Storage Box, a profound artifact. This item can collect all kinds of spiritual essence in the world. If you give up those two opportunities on you to me, I'll give this item to you. How about it?"
Zhang Yan shook his head firmly instead and said, "It's not enough."
Chen Tong frowned first, and then he smiled. He thought, So long as you're willing to exchange, then there's still room for discussion. So he said, "I'm a disciple of the Dengyang Chen Clan. If you agree to withdraw, then feel free to come look for me if you have any trouble in the future. I'll help you deal with it."
His cultivation was only at the 1st level of the Radiant State, and he relied on the treasured clothes on his body and the cloudy shoes on his feet to ascend to the heavens. However, he spoke quite arrogantly.
However, Zhang Yan knew that this person wasn't boasting. The Dengyang Chen Clan was indeed extremely powerful, and there were many disciples in the clan that were disciples of the Qincang School. For example, Chen Feng who'd once defeated the disciples of the Southern Flower Sect and Guangyuan Sect was from the Dengyang Chen Clan.
However, he still didn't agree, and he shook his head and said, "It's just empty words, yet you want to give me two opportunities? Brother, you're too shrewd."
Chen Tong said with displeasure, "You're only asking for an item that carries your Qi, why make such a fuss about it?"
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Brother, you're mistaken. Me asking for this item from Senior is a matter between me and Senior. What does it have to do with you? You want me to withdraw now because you have something to ask of me. Thus, this treasure and a promise are far from enough. "
Chen Tong's expression couldn't help but stiffen. However, what Zhang Yan said was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it.
Luo Zhenzhen was a lively person, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard what Zhang Yan said. This laughter was like a hundred flowers blooming, and even Chen Tong was stunned.
When he saw Zhang Yan and Chen Tong exchange words, Pu Yuzi instead closed his eyes and rested at the side, and he seemed as if he hadn't heard anything.
Chen Tong rubbed his forehead, and then he seemed to have made some sort of resolution. He raised his head and said in a low voice, "Then Brother, please speak clearly. What exactly do you want in order to be willing to exchange with me?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Brother, you have what I want as well. I'm just afraid that Brother won't be willing to part with it."
Chen Tong was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyeballs spun before he suddenly started laughing as well. His expression actually relaxed slightly, and he said heroically, "Brother, so long as you ask, then I'll agree to anything I have in my possession. Even if you want those two beautiful maidservants behind me, I can give them to you as well! Speak your mind! "
Zhang Yan smiled as he cupped his hands, and then he said something that caused Chen Tong to be dumbstruck. "Since it's like this, then please withdraw."
