Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 684 - 365: 60 million Spirit Stones_2

...

Lu Yu returned to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and when Kui Defa heard the sound of him opening the door, he came over and knocked on the door, walked in and asked, "How did it go?"

"It was alright, Zhou Hong doesn't seem to have any malicious intent," Lu Yu replied.

Kui Defa nodded and said, "That's good. If there's any problem, you shouldn't be afraid. The Divine Weapon Pavilion is backing you up."

"Alright."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first," Kui Defa said, and he could tell that Lu Yu seemed to have something on his mind.

Without waiting for Lu Yu to respond, Kui Defa left his room and closed the door behind him.

Lu Yu stared at the closed door for a while, then sat on the chair, took out the pendant given by Zhou Hong, and began to examine the information inside.

About the Broken World, he couldn't casually mention it to Kui Defa.

From the words of Chu Tiange, Zhou Hong, and Hong Jingtao, Lu Yu knew that the matters concerning the Broken World were secrets of the royal family and the royal mansion, and they wouldn't let the news leak easily.

Zhou Hong was allowed to provide information to Lu Yu by his father.

More importantly, Lu Yu was the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion and qualified to know these matters.

Even if they didn't disclose anything, the Divine Weapon Pavilion would certainly inform Lu Yu about the Broken World when giving him the quota.

Others knowing about the Broken World would only bring harm with no benefits.

Lu Yu even guessed that those martial cultivators returning to the Shenwu Realm from the Broken World might have their memories erased.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why Hong Jingtao and others seem to know the Temporal Secret Realm but act as if they are completely unaware.

Their demeanor resembled that of having heard urban legends, confirmed to be true.

A sense of familiarity, yet strangeness.

If each time entering the Broken World, the royal mansion would release a certain number of quotas externally, it wouldn't make sense for outsiders to be completely ignorant.

The most likely explanation is that those people's memories were erased.

Or perhaps they were bound by an oath not to disclose information about the Broken World.

The pendant recorded over three hundred exploration records of the Broken World by the Zhou Royal Mansion, ranging from a few days to over ten years.

Of course, all measured according to the time in the Broken World.

The Zhou Royal Mansion seemed to possess some capability of recovering records of events experienced by the deceased from them.

Many exploration records ended in death.

These explorers likely weren't descendants of the Zhou Royal Mansion; otherwise, with a thirty percent mortality rate, over a hundred talented offspring of the Zhou Royal Mansion would have died.

The entire Zhou Royal Mansion might not have a hundred blood-qualified descendants.

Like Zhou Hong, he brought along three to four additional people into the Broken World as one person.

After reading the information in the pendant, Lu Yu gained a rough understanding of the Broken World.

In the Broken World, many areas had unique rules, and one had to follow the rules of a specific area to remain safe; otherwise, death would be likely.

Exploring the rules became the most crucial task, which was why some exploration records spanned only a few days.

Because explorers failed to discover the correct rules within the area, triggering conditions for death.

Thus, the data provided by Zhou Hong became extremely crucial.

It contained survival rules for most areas explored by the Zhou Royal Mansion, ensuring that when Lu Yu entered those areas, he could survive safely without inadvertently triggering death conditions due to ignorance of the rules.

While triggering a death condition doesn't necessarily mean one would die, it certainly wouldn't be pleasant.

Lu Yu withdrew his perception, and with a prompt bang, the pendant in his hand shattered into countless powders dispersing in the air.

The information inside could be read only once; after being read once, the pendant would self-destruct, regardless of whether the reader completed it.

Lu Yu watched the pendant turn into dust and powder, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Although the pendant mentioned many area rules and marked methods to safely navigate certain regions, it didn't reveal the most important thing.

That is, the map of the Broken World and the route to the October Day Region.

"It seems Zhou Hong is still guarding against himself, afraid that after obtaining critical information, he won't adhere to the oath."

Lu Yu also understood why Zhou Hong agreed to requests that seemed excessive.

Apparently, the initiative had always been in Zhou Hong's hands.

After having dinner with Kui Defa, Lu Yu went alone to the vice master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion branch in the imperial city and presented a pile of heavenly materials and treasures purchased from the mall.

He chose some of the rarer and valuable heavenly materials and treasures so he could profit, but even so, when reselling them, he could only earn around 10% to 50%.

It all depended on the demand for that kind of heavenly material and treasure by the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the rarity of that heavenly material and treasure.

The rarer they were, the higher the premium.

The vice master Jin Meng looked at the pile of "junk" brought by Lu Yu, indeed, for the vice master, the pile of seventh to ninth-grade heavenly materials and treasures brought by Lu Yu were considered junk.

Of course, they weren't genuine trash; rather, with respect to Lu Yu's status as the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, these items truly were junk.

Ninth-grade heavenly materials and treasures were valued around 100,000 spirit stones, even rare ones wouldn't exceed 200,000 spirit stones; eighth-grade was even lower, and seventh-grade at most 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones.

Compared with Lu Yu's status as the Saint Heir, these items greatly diminished his standing.

Vice Master Jin Meng glanced at the heavenly materials and treasures laid before him and looked at Lu Yu with some puzzlement, asking, "Does the Saint Heir need money for something?"
