Secret Buyer

Chapter 585 - 355: Thunderous Sounds Like Tides, Westward Journey Begins (1/2)

"Daoist Venerable..."

He spoke with apprehension, now completely certain that the young man in hemp clothes before him was by no means the person rumored to have become friends by chance with the Grand Minister!

The other party possessed great abilities, great divine techniques!

He was definitely not like any celestial human he had seen before, surely someone who had long entered the Divine Spirit Domain!

Amidst the shock and fear,

The Buddha Son saw the young man in hemp clothes with a stern face, not responding to him, and seemed to be contemplating something.

Zhang Fusheng was indeed pondering.

Earlier, he used the technique of cause and effect to directly trace back the reason for the Buddha Son’s visit to this place, but what he saw... was himself.

It was he who sent him here.

Yet he absolutely had not done such a thing.

Was it like the incident with Li Xuan, a man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a white robe, whose remains had appeared in Douluo Palace, but the man himself was somewhere else, another case of reversed cause and effect,

or was it...

Him?

Zhang Fusheng thought of ’Mirror Self’.

His heart sank, and he once again stared at the Silent Fury Buddha Son, this time not hesitating to use the [Fire Eyes Golden Gaze].

Thus.

Zhang Fusheng saw the causes and effects.

He was so angry he almost bared his teeth.

That bastard, how dare he hold a meeting in High Heaven while he was sitting in the Jade Void Palace, struggling to cope with Guang Chengzi,

and even conveyed messages separately to Chen Nuanyu and the Buddha Son—telling them to seek out the Daoist Venerable to resolve their worries.

If it were just that, it would be forgivable.

That rogue even revealed to Kong Shentong some great secrets that even he didn’t know, such as—

The location of the Old Celestial Court ruins.

The most crucial thing was, that damned thing seemed to be guarding against him, when he tried to trace back the cause and effect, to grasp those words, to comprehend the location of the Celestial Court ruins, he heard nothing.

That still wasn’t everything.

The mirror promised Li Jing assistance in proving Daluo, promised Huang Qiuxian the position of Eastern Sect’s pope,

told Miss Mingyue that in the near future, Zhen Yuanzi’s true spirit could be revived and return...

All were promised in the name of the Great Celestial Venerate!

Using his own name!

Zhang Fusheng felt a throbbing pain in his teeth.

For a moment.

He sorted out his thoughts, looked again at the Buddha Son in front of him, after a moment of hesitation:

"I can help you."

The Buddha Son was startled, and hurriedly wanted to make a gesture of worship, but Zhang Fusheng raised his hand to stop him:

"No need for worship, I’m not the Infinite Celestial Venerate who sent you here."

He emphasized the words ’who sent you here’.

His words swept out, and the Buddha Son’s heart nearly stopped, looking with disbelief at the young man in hemp clothes, just as he was about to ask, he saw the other wave his hand.

The world spun before him, and when clarity returned, he found himself outside the Kong family’s great courtyard.

Along with him, there were four others.

It was also at this time,

Two different voices simultaneously echoed in the minds of the Buddha Son and Chen Nuanyu, the first informing the Buddha Son about the matter of reversing the descent of the Great Black Heaven, to be discussed after the Netherworld opens,

The second loud voice informed Chen Nuanyu that the matter she sought had been fully known, and likewise after the Netherworld opens, she would be helped to refine the divine spirit within her heart.

The Buddha Son and Chen Nuanyu were long unable to return to their senses, as for Zhu Xiaoming and others, they all looked at each other not understanding what had happened.

"Hey? What is this?"

Zhu Xiaoming suddenly asked in surprise.

The Buddha Son, Chen Nuanyu, and others turned their eyes, and saw the bald young man already holding a celestial medicine in his hand at some unknown moment.

"Is this... for me?"

Zhu Xiaoming blinked, subconsciously looking towards the tightly closed gates of the Kong family courtyard.

The five of them looked at each other.

.........

"Yang family of Hongnong, you are a tributor, free to use their resources, with the promise of receiving a celestial medicine every hundred years - they say that you can visit the Hongnong Province at any time to select a celestial medicine, or they could send it to you."

"The Wang family of Langya, you are considered a Supreme Elder, offered terms similar to that of the Yang family of Hongnong, but without the supply of celestial medicine."

"There’s also the Xie family..."

In the pavilion, Ruan Yutu meticulously outlined the terms agreed upon with each visitor,

Most of these visitors came from families of great power, a few from families of venerates and divine techniques,

Ruan Yutu only negotiated terms and cooperation with a few divine techniques families.

"Of the five divine techniques families, only the Yang family of Hongnong could offer celestial medicine... the other four families agreed to let you use the resources of their clan."

After a pause, Ruan Yutu added:

"By the way, I heard from this sister that the Yang family of Hongnong seems quite extraordinary, possibly holding an old-world relic, which is why they can produce celestial medicine."

She gestured to the Six Desires Celestial Maiden patiently waiting beside her.

Zhang Fusheng mused for a moment, then said:

"Have someone from the Yang family of Hongnong select a celestial medicine and send it over."

"Yes."

Ruan Yutu made a gesture of respect and quietly withdrew, and at Zhang Fusheng’s signal, the Six Desires Celestial Maiden quickly followed.

With her presence, there wasn’t much concern for Ruan Yutu’s safety—after all, the Six Desires Celestial Maiden was also a great power,

And being the master of one of the four branches of the [Pavilion of Clear Jade], it was assumed she mastered divine techniques far beyond ordinary great powers.

As for the celestial medicine?

Besides consumption, the greatest purpose of celestial medicine was to allow a venerable to enter the realm of great power, as well as to be cultivated and practiced,

but for someone on the verge of proving themselves as a Great Divine Power User, celestial medicine wasn’t of much use.

Of course, it’s still beneficial if consumed.

Zhang Fusheng rubbed his forehead, pondering while walking back to the backyard, intending to enter the house when he heard the excited chatter of Cui Liuduo and others.

Lending an ear, he didn’t pay much attention—the gist of the discussion was that an ancestor from the Cui family sent news that they would be coming to the Celestial Capital.

It seemed they intended to bring along some other individuals as well.
