Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 632 - 607: Discussing Terms

The Grand Elder was once a hero of the Yunjuan family, with indelible achievements. His position was not given lightly.

Among the high echelons of the Yunjuan family, most are under the Grand Elder's influence. Who would dare disobey his command?

Yunjuan Heicheng wore a sullen expression, his eyes burning with rage, as he watched one by one of the Yunjuan family's leaders depart.

"You guys forced me into this... Feng You cannot die in vain... That guy must pay for his foolish acts!"

Yunjuan Heicheng gritted his teeth, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, as a terrifying storm raged in his mind.

At the same time, Wang Xu, quietly staying in the "Mansion" left by the Copper Medicine City Lord, was wholly focused on cultivation.

For an entire month, he did not step out of the main door.

The surge of Constant Spirit's power gradually faded, becoming thin from dense; inside the room, Wang Xu slowly opened his eyes.

"The First Realm of 'Image' is so difficult to cultivate. Even after consuming so many miracle elixirs, I still can't break through..." Wang Xu said, shaking his head.

The First Realm of 'Image' is the 'Ten Thousand Zhang Golden Body.' Once mastered, Wang Xu's physique would have the strength comparable to the early stage of the Emperor Spirit Realm.

Let alone the Ten Thousand Zhang Golden Body, Wang Xu couldn't even turn his current body into gold.

Despite endless days and nights of cultivation, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Eternal Spirit to practice, and even consuming all the elixirs given by the Copper Medicine City Lord, Wang Xu still couldn't bring 'Image' to the First Realm.

Were it not for the obvious changes and improvements in the hardness of his physique, he would have doubted the utility of this secret technique.

"Subordinate greets the young lady!"

Suddenly, there was a sound from outside the residence.

A young lady... Copper Medicine Ye Rong?

What is she doing here?

Wang Xu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

According to Wang Xu's understanding of the Ganges Realm, men and women are not allowed to meet privately before marriage, much like the rules in the chaotic mortal world.

However, Copper Medicine Ye Rong coming so openly, what is her intention?

"Squeak—"

As Wang Xu was pondering Ye Rong's intentions, the main door was directly pushed open, and a graceful figure in tight clothing burst in with a gust.

It was none other than Copper Medicine Ye Rong.

"You all leave," Copper Medicine Ye Rong, seeing the puzzled look on Wang Xu's face, waved her hand without looking back. The guards exchanged glances, checked with Wang Xu, and upon receiving his nod, they retreated.

"Miss Ye Rong, what brings you here?" Wang Xu asked directly, without beating around the bush.

"For what, you ask? Hmph! Could there be any other reason for me to come?" Copper Medicine Ye Rong's beautiful eyes showed a trace of anger, and her already icy face seemed to emit a murderous aura, "I thought you should have come to discuss this matter with me first, but I didn't expect you to be so patient!"

"Discuss with you?" Wang Xu frowned slightly, quickly figuring out what Copper Medicine Ye Rong was referring to, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"Miss Ye Rong, are you referring to the wedding in two months?" Wang Xu said.

"Hmph! I knew men are no good. My father said your purpose in participating in the martial arts contest isn't to marry me, but now it seems that was exactly what you aimed for!"

Copper Medicine Ye Rong said coldly, "If you truly weren't here for me, you had countless opportunities this past month to speak frankly with me or my father, rather than staying in the residence my father gave you and enjoying comfort!"

Wang Xu couldn't help but laugh bitterly at her words.

Did she think everyone could act as she did, disregarding worldly conventions, and act at will?

Ignoring the rule of no meeting before marriage, just the many eyes her father planted around the residence kept all of Wang Xu's actions under the Copper Medicine City Lord's watchful eyes.

The Copper Medicine City Lord had already laid everything out in the open, what purpose would Wang Xu's actions serve?

"So, what guidance does Miss Ye Rong have in coming here?" Wang Xu asked directly.

"The wedding is already known throughout the city. For my father's honor, I cannot break the engagement, but nor can I compromise with reality," Copper Medicine Ye Rong stared at Wang Xu, "The wedding will proceed as planned, but it will be nothing more than a show; do not dare to touch me even a finger, nor expect to gain any power or influence within the Copper Medicine family!"

"Oh..." Wang Xu understood, this was going to be a wedding in name only, and his mouth curled up slightly, "That's an excellent idea."

He was wondering how to avoid this absurd wedding.

Now it's settled, a ready-made method delivered to his doorstep!

"So, you agree?" Copper Medicine Ye Rong said.

"I have no reason to refuse, but..." Wang Xu smiled slightly, "I am not very skilled at acting, and it would be bad if I accidentally blew our cover, you have to..."

At this point, Wang Xu rolled his eyes and didn't continue.

What kind of person was Copper Medicine Ye Rong? The daughter of the Copper Medicine City Lord, how could she not get the hint?

"Hmph! As expected, men are no good!" Copper Medicine Ye Rong snorted coldly, "Speak up, what conditions do you want? As long as it's not excessive, I can agree!"

Wang Xu's eyes lit up.

"Since Miss Ye Rong put it that way, I won't make things difficult," Wang Xu smiled, "I heard there is a rare elixir that the Copper Medicine City Lord possesses, called the 'Returning Dragon Pill,' which he brought back from the First Layer years ago, greatly beneficial to cultivation. So..."

"No way!"

Wang Xu had just finished speaking when Copper Medicine Yerong interrupted him without hesitation.

"The Returning Dragon Pill was obtained by my father at great risk; he almost lost his life for it! You better come up with another condition!" Copper Medicine Yerong said, biting her lip.

"Miss Yerong, if you can't agree to this condition, then I'm afraid I can't agree to your request either," Wang Xu said, leaving no room for refusal.

Before attending the martial arts competition, he had already inquired about elixirs for advancing his Cultivation Realm in order to cultivate "Phase." He learned that the Returning Dragon Pill held by the City Lord of Copper Medicine City would be highly effective for his cultivation of "Phase." If he could consume the Returning Dragon Pill, reaching the First Realm of "Phase" would be a certainty!

Originally, he didn't hold much hope, given the rarity of the Returning Dragon Pill, which even the City Lord of Copper Medicine City was reluctant to use himself!

But now that Copper Medicine Yerong came to trade with him, Wang Xu naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

"You..." Copper Medicine Yerong was furious, her fiery temperament wanting to act, but then she thought of how even Yunjuan Fengyou was killed by Wang Xu, let alone her?

"Can't you change the condition?"

"Sure," Wang Xu replied, "Exchanging it for the Passage Order of the First Layer is also possible."

"Passage Order?" Copper Medicine Yerong's expression softened; obviously, the Returning Dragon Pill was off the table, but the Passage Order was a possibility.

After a moment of contemplation.

"Alright! I agree!" Copper Medicine Yerong made up her mind, "We agreed, as long as I give you the Passage Order of the First Layer, you'll accompany me in this act!"

"A man of his word," Wang Xu laughed.

"Fine! I'll trust you just this once!"

Copper Medicine Yerong glared at Wang Xu furiously and then turned to leave the mansion.

"Tricking a little girl, isn't that a bit ungentlemanly?" The red-robed figure of You Ji appeared, showing a disdainful expression.

"Without a bit of cunning, how could I obtain the Passage Order? That old fox, the City Lord of Copper Medicine, who knows how many years it would take to get the Passage Order from him. I could only rely on her," Wang Xu laughed.

He knew the preciousness of the Returning Dragon Pill, and Copper Medicine Yerong wouldn't easily agree. Yet, because of this, when Wang Xu proposed the Passage Order, Copper Medicine Yerong hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.

...

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

Wow～～

The world rumbled with wind and clouds, multicolored lights blossoming in the sky, stunningly beautiful.

Light rain poured down, drenching all of Copper Medicine City. Those touched by the rain felt an unparalleled sense of wellbeing.

The entire Copper Medicine City was now engulfed in a sea of lively jubilation. The daughter of the City Lord of Copper Medicine City was getting married, causing quite the stir, with even the City Lords of dozens of nearby cities coming to congratulate the City Lord of Copper Medicine City.

Huge fierce beasts, resembling rhinos with three green horns, were slowly moving down the street.

On its back was an exquisitely luxurious wooden cabin, where Wang Xu sat in festive red robes.

He lifted the golden curtain to glance out the window, overlooking the enviously watching crowd lining the streets, and Wang Xu shook his head with a wry smile.

After dropping the golden curtain, Wang Xu flipped his hand, producing a simple, unadorned wooden plaque.

This plaque seemed ordinary but was enveloped by a unique Truth Power; it was indeed the Passage Order for entering the First Layer.

Wang Xu had already obtained the Passage Order from Copper Medicine Yerong a month ago.

At that time, he had been eager to take the Passage Order and leave Copper Medicine City to head to the First Layer immediately.

But he stayed, fulfilling his promise to help Copper Medicine Yerong complete the act.

Once today passed, he would find some other pretext to inform the City Lord of Copper Medicine City about his departure, and then he could finally leave Copper Medicine City completely.

"Soon, I will be able to head to the First Layer," Wang Xu took a deep breath.

Outside the wooden cabin, the sound of fireworks in the sky was deafening.

The cheers and lively noise of the crowd on the ground were endless.

Wang Xu waited quietly.

Just then——

Boom!!!!

Though it was already noisy outside, this explosion sounded as if an atomic bomb had been dropped in a silent, deserted plain.

"Someone wants to kill me!"

Wang Xu's pupils suddenly shrank, and a wave of cold sweat covered his body; a sense of impending death surged, as if a giant wave was about to engulf him completely!

Outside.

A figure shrouded entirely in black mist suddenly sprang from the ground, drawing forth a Snow White Saber.

However, the moment the Snow White Saber appeared, all the Constant Spirits in the world surged towards it, as if the black mist figure was a vortex, avidly absorbing and gathering, in the blink of an eye, coalescing into a gigantic black mist saber dozens of meters long and meters wide!

"Hehehe... die for me!"

With an eerie laugh, the gigantic black mist saber slashed fiercely towards the wooden cabin where Wang Xu was! (To be continued.
