The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2259: Chapter 2259: Not Even This Small Favor?

The conditions required to perform the Thunder Nine Strikes are much more stringent than those for Thunder Light Shining. Not only does it require integrating specific energy attributes into the Dao Skill, but even the number of Laws Jing Yan needs to comprehend is several times more than for Thunder Light Shining.

After the date for the Mystic Moon Trading House auction was set, Elder Kuo Lian immediately sent a message to Jing Yan to inform him of the matter, and said that a few days before the auction begins, he would come to Wuxia City to take away the Virtualization Technique Manual. However, Jing Yan told Elder Kuo Lian not to come to Wuxia City, saying he would personally go to the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters at that time.

Jing Yan also plans to participate in this Mystic Moon Trading House auction. A large number of precious resources will appear at the Mystic Moon Trading House auction, and if there is anything he needs, Jing Yan will also participate in the bidding.

Time passes day by day.

On this day, someone came to the Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion. The person came to the Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion not to visit the Wuxia Immortal Venerable, but specifically to see Jing Yan.

This person’s name is Min Lan, also a powerful figure in the Immortal Venerable Realm.

Min Lan Immortal Venerable’s fame in Faro Heaven is not very large, but he has a master called Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, whose fame can be said to be unparalleled in the Heavenly Domain. Moreover, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable has an extremely peculiar temperament, rarely appearing in the Heavenly Domain, but almost every time he appears, he causes a big commotion.

The reason for Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s great fame is not only due to his strong personal power but also because he personally taught two disciples of the Immortal Venerable Realm. For a cultivator of the Immortal Venerable Realm to teach two disciples of the same realm is indeed a very shocking thing.

In Faro Heaven, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s ability to teach disciples is considered the best in the Heavenly Domain by many. In other words, in all of Faro Heaven, no one can compare to Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable in the matter of teaching disciples.

If Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable released the news that he was recruiting disciples, countless talented cultivators would immediately scramble to become his disciples.

“Min Lan Immortal Venerable? He’s looking for me?” Jing Yan frowned slightly upon hearing the Chief Manager of the Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion mention this.

Jing Yan had not heard of Min Lan Immortal Venerable before; it was only the Chief Manager who mentioned that Min Lan Immortal Venerable had come to the mansion and introduced Min Lan Immortal Venerable’s identity and background to Jing Yan. While Jing Yan did not know Min Lan Immortal Venerable, he did know of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable. After all, although Jing Yan had not been in Faro Heaven for very long, he had some understanding of the well-known cultivators in the Heavenly Domain.

“Did Min Lan Immortal Venerable say what he wants?” Jing Yan asked.

“Min Lan Immortal Venerable did not say; he simply mentioned that he wants to see you, Mr. Jing Yan, and he also said it’s at the behest of his master, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable.” The Chief Manager shook his head and replied.

“Well, whether or not it’s at Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s request, since this Min Lan Immortal Venerable has come, I should go out and meet him.” Jing Yan nodded and said.

“Mr. Jing Yan, Min Lan Immortal Venerable is waiting in the reception room of the mansion. The Wuxia Immortal Venerable is already there to greet him.” The Chief Manager said.

“Alright, I’ll head there now.” Jing Yan said.

A person like Min Lan coming to the Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion, even if not specifically to visit the Wuxia Immortal Venerable, requires the Wuxia Immortal Venerable to appear and entertain him, especially since he is in the mansion. Otherwise, it may make Min Lan feel displeased, which could in turn lead to Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable feeling dissatisfied.

A moment later, Jing Yan arrived at the mansion’s reception room.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan has arrived.” Wuxia Immortal Venerable said with a smile upon seeing Jing Yan enter.

In the reception room, besides the Wuxia Immortal Venerable, there was indeed another man wearing a dark gold robe. Upon seeing Jing Yan enter and hearing Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s words, the man’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not stand to greet him; he simply wore a faint smile.

Seeing Min Lan Immortal Venerable’s posture, Jing Yan’s face did not change, but his heart couldn’t help but feel a bit unsettled. This Min Lan seemed rather arrogant.

“Is this the recent sensation Jing Yan?” Min Lan Immortal Venerable spoke, remaining seated steadily.

“I am Jing Yan. May I ask what brings Immortal Venerable Min Lan here to see me?” Jing Yan asked with a smile.

“You two have a nice talk; I’ll take my leave first. Call me anytime if you need anything.” The Wuxia Immortal Venerable gave Jing Yan a knowing look, said this, and then stepped out first.

Min Lan Immortal Venerable watched the Wuxia Immortal Venerable walk out before reluctantly withdrawing his gaze.

This scene also fell into Jing Yan’s sight.

“The rumor mentions that Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is exceptionally young; upon meeting you today, you’re even younger than I imagined.”

“First defeating the Black River Heavenly Monarch at the Yellow Spring Cave, then killing E Si Saint of the Slaughter God Hall in Wuxia City. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s strength is indeed terrifying.” Min Lan Immortal Venerable said nonchalantly.

Jing Yan had asked directly why Min Lan came looking for him, but Min Lan did not respond directly, instead delivering seemingly complimentary remarks. However, his tone did not sound very pleasant; the words appeared to be somewhat envious.

“Immortal Venerable Min Lan, you’re overpraising me; I just had a bit of luck.” Jing Yan replied casually.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is truly modest. Even my master, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, has spoken very highly of you.” Min Lan Immortal Venerable squinted again, his gaze continuously scanning across Jing Yan’s face.

“It’s my honor.” Jing Yan said.

“Immortal Venerable Min Lan, may I ask what brings you to Wuxia City to see me?” Jing Yan asked again.

Although Jing Yan just recently interacted with Min Lan Immortal Venerable, he already determined that he does not like Min Lan Immortal Venerable and is thus not inclined to engage further.

“Oh!”

“It’s like this: I heard you have the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique Manual. I’ve come this time specifically for that Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique Manual. May I ask if Fellow Daoist Jing Yan could part with it? In terms of price, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan can be assured.” Min Lan finally addressed the main issue.

He came for the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique Manual.

In fact, before Min Lan came to see Jing Yan, he had already visited the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters to meet Elder Kuo Lian, also seeking to privately purchase the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique Manual, but Elder Kuo Lian, with a very firm attitude, directly refused. Thus, he came to Wuxia City to find Jing Yan.

“Immortal Venerable Min Lan, I do have a Virtualization Technique Manual; however, this manual will be auctioned at the Mystic Moon Trading House. If Immortal Venerable Min Lan wishes to purchase it from me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help.” Jing Yan shook his head, his tone fairly tactful.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Min Lan’s face instantly darkened, appearing very displeased.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I previously went to the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters. Elder Kuo Lian said the technique manual belongs to you, and he doesn’t have the authority to privately sell it to me. I know you plan to hand the manual over to the Mystic Moon Trading House for auction, but it hasn’t been auctioned yet, has it? What is it, does Fellow Daoist Jing Yan not even give me this face?” Min Lan Immortal Venerable’s aura slightly condensed, speaking in a deep voice.
