Chapter 642: Fire Heavenly Spirit Root, the Ceremony of Apprenticeship! (Seeking Double Monthly Votes!!)
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu, who was about to leave, frowned and instinctively stopped in his tracks.
These five short words heightened the alertness in his heart to the extreme!
The reason being, these five words were often uttered in the cultivation world and typically represented some ominous sign.
In most cases, once mentioned, it often indicated that great trouble was about to fall upon someone.
Otherwise, it could mean that some bad events were about to occur.
For example, after a transaction was completed, a demonic cultivator intending to take advantage of others often used these five words as a catchphrase.
Similarly, cultivators with big troubles trying to drag others down often had these five words on their lips.
Silently operating within, a strand of spiritual consciousness focused on the "cosmic unity talisman" in his storage bracelet, Liu Yu maintained an unperturbed expression on his face, but he was already prepared to take action and flee.
He slowly turned around, his expression calm as he said,
"Oh?"
"Is there something else my friend Zhang Tao needs?"
Although everything regarding the transaction was currently going smoothly, and both parties were happy, surprises often struck when least expected, so who knew if the Zhang Clan was planning to take advantage of him?
Wanting cultivators to serve them without any compensation.
"Daoist Gu Cheng, please don't misunderstand."
"I have no ill intentions; the reason I called you back is simply for a rather ungracious request."
Zhang Tao, observing the situation, smiled and explained, knowing the meaning behind the previous five words.
Seeing that the other party's explanation didn’t seem like he was about to make a move, Liu Yu felt slightly relieved but did not lower his guard, and then spoke:
"I am just a mere golden core mid-stage cultivator, unknown in the Central Domain, and moreover, I am new here and unfamiliar with the surroundings."
"And yet, you are a prominent member of a divine transformation family, currently holding immense power."
"Under such circumstances, if you are unable to accomplish this task, how can I, an ordinary cultivator, achieve it?"
"I ask friend Zhang Tao to reconsider."
Liu Yu's calm and unhurried voice echoed in the hall.
Although he did not explicitly refuse, it was clear he was not too keen on accepting this "ungracious request."
As he mentioned, the other party was an important figure from a divine transformation family, while he was merely an average golden core cultivator, with little status, and unfamiliar territory in the Central Domain.
In such a scenario, if even the other party found it challenging, what could he possibly do?
Furthermore, Liu Yu had always disliked trouble and was even less willing to delay his cultivation due to unnecessary personal dealings.
If it weren't for the timing being right, and the Zhang Clan’s actions inevitably provoking the demonic race and causing a series of severe impacts, he would hardly have engaged in this.
Although this cooperation had been somewhat pleasant, Liu Yu had always preferred to cultivate in low profile, and he wasn’t sure whether he would have future dealings with the Zhang Clan, thus truly wished to avoid complications.
"Daoist Gu Cheng, please don't rush; allow me to explain in detail."
With that, Zhang Tao smiled slightly and gestured for him to sit again.
Thus, they both once again sat across from each other at the sand table.
"At this moment, it is a long story; this is more of my personal matter, and it has little connection with my family, so I cannot rely on the family's influence."
"Given your situation, Daoist Gu Cheng, you could easily handle it, it just depends on whether you are willing."
Zhang Tao explained, saying something that left people a bit puzzled.
Then, he formed a spell gesture with one hand, which landed on the wall of the hall.
“Whoosh”
As the spell fell onto the wall, ripples like water appeared, and soon, the wall that had appeared real began to fade inch by inch.
