Seeing Guan Hai looking at him expectantly, hoping he would take out a Spiritual Treasure to sell, Lu Yu now couldn't easily excuse himself by saying he suddenly didn't want to sell it anymore, as this would conflict with what he previously stated.
Guan Hai's firm support was largely due to Lu Yu's earlier statent. If Lu Yu were to tell him now that he wasn't selling it, it would undoubtedly cause Guan Hai to feel uneasy.
So Lu Yu searched in the mall and found a quite decent grade seven Spiritual Treasure — the Jade Pure Lotus, priced at 28 million Points. It possessed extrely strong defensive capabilities and had the effect of expelling poisons, able to repel fourth-grade poisons and even suppress fifth-grade poisons.
Seeing the Jade Pure Lotus appearing in Lu Yu's palm, Guan Hai was slightly disappointed. He wanted the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower more, but the Jade Pure Lotus was also quite rare and its functions were considered strong among Spiritual Treasures of the sa grade.
"Sir, is this Jade Pure Lotus the Spiritual Treasure you want to sell?" Guan Hai asked.
"Yes." Lu Yu glanced at Guan Hai and handed the Jade Pure Lotus to him, "Do you want it?"
Guan Hai did not hesitate and imdiately took the Jade Pure Lotus. It was not easy for him to obtain a grade seven Spiritual Treasure, as Artifact Refiners capable of crafting them were not easily encountered and were quite rare in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Accumulating materials for crafting a grade seven Spiritual Treasure was also not an easy task. Many materials couldn't be found in the sa region, and often, one needed to venture into various hazardous areas to collect advanced materials to craft a grade seven Spiritual Treasure.
As for purchasing materials within the Divine Weapon Pavilion, it was simply not an option for Guan Hai. Those advanced materials were often pre-ordered by Artifact Refiners before entering the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm.
Guan Hai carefully observed the Jade Pure Lotus in his hand and infused Spiritual Power to activate it.
Lu Yu stepped back a few paces, and a green lotus phantom appeared beside Guan Hai, enveloping him within. The green lotus phantom looked exceptionally sturdy.
And indeed, it was very sturdy; even ordinary Qi Blood realm experts would find it difficult to break the green lotus phantom of the Jade Pure Lotus.
Before Guan Hai's Spiritual Power was exhausted, he hardly needed to defend himself during the battle; he only needed to maintain the phantom of the Jade Pure Lotus by inputting Spiritual Power.
Guan Hai, satisfied with the phantom, looked at Lu Yu with a bit of a headache. The Jade Pure Lotus was valued at about 6 million gold, and he wasn't like He Yichao, a young master of a wealthy family who could produce a large sum of money at any ti and place.
Usually, most of his savings were exchanged for various cultivation resources, making it difficult to gather 6 million gold on short notice. However, he still decided to purchase the Jade Pure Lotus because he found this Spiritual Treasure to be very useful.
With the Jade Pure Lotus, he could focus all his power on attacking his opponents without worrying about defense, greatly increasing his combat effectiveness.
"Lord Lu, I am willing to buy the Jade Pure Lotus for 5.6 million gold; I just need so ti to gather the funds. I can't produce that much money at the mont."
With that, Guan Hai handed the Jade Pure Lotus back to Lu Yu, but Lu Yu did not take it, saying, "Brother Guan, just take it. Pay when you gather the funds."
Lu Yu joked, "Could it be that Brother Guan would covet such a small Spiritual Treasure from ?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Hai retrieved the Jade Pure Lotus and smiled, saying, "Alright, since Brother Lu insists, I won't say more. I promise to pay you all the money within two days."
Lu Yu smiled and nodded in response to Guan Hai's words.
Though Guan Hai coveted the defensive Spiritual Treasure Seven-Colored Glazed Tower, Lu Yu sold him a defensive Spiritual Treasure nonetheless, and it happened to be the not-so-easy-to-co-by Jade Pure Lotus, leaving Guan Hai quite satisfied.
Helping Lu Yu this ti, although it offended the He family, gaining a powerful Spiritual Treasure like the Jade Pure Lotus made Guan Hai feel it was worth it.
Before leaving, Guan Hai glanced at Hai Wei in Lu Yu's arms and said, "Brother Lu, regarding the Sea Tribe, you should still make so plans. The rmaid Tribe is the royal family among the Sea Tribe. With her here, the Sea Tribe will definitely not let it slide."
"If the Sea Tribe really invades on her behalf, the high-ups of Yunhai City might hand her over in exchange for peace. The upper echelons of Yunhai City and the Huang family are unwilling to go to war with the Sea Tribe, so you should prepare in advance."
"Moreover, the Sea Tribe isn't suited for long-term residence on land. The relationship between the Human race and the Monster race isn't as bad as you think, but it's not as good as you think either. Relationships between humans and monsters aren't viewed favorably."
Guan Hai hinted at Lu Yu, leaving him a bit speechless since his relationship with Hai Wei wasn't what he assud.
Hai Wei had told Lu Yu that she hoped he could protect her until her people ca to take her back.
Lu Yu knew that Hai Wei's people would co to rescue her. Seeing that she looked exactly like Little Tail, he agreed to help Hai Wei for a while.
After Guan Hai left, he arranged for a steward to arrange a new room for Lu Yu and hurried back to gather funds.
By selling so resources he wouldn't need in the near future and adding his own savings, he'd be able to gather 5.6 million gold.
For the Jade Pure Lotus, Guan Hai was truly going all out.
As for robbing Lu Yu of his Spiritual Treasure and running away with it, Guan Hai hadn't even considered such a thing; doing that would be courting death, as the Divine Weapon Pavilion would absolutely not spare him.
Any power would use the harshest thods against traitors.
Besides arranging a new residence for Lu Yu, Guan Hai also had people set up a warning array near the training grounds close to the sea to guard against the Sea Tribe's possible return.
Lu Yu placed Hai Wei into a new large water bucket. Hai Wei looked up into Lu Yu's eyes and quietly asked, "Will you abandon ?"
Seeing the timidity in Hai Wei's eyes, Lu Yu grinned, ruffled her light purple hair, and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't abandon you before your people appear."
"Hmm." Hai Wei nodded vigorously, and the worry on her face faded away; she could feel that Lu Yu was sincere.
Hai Wei lifted her garnt and painfully plucked a colorful scale from beneath her fish tail. Blood oozed from where the scale had been, and a red thread appeared in the water bucket.
Lu Yu was taken aback and hurriedly said, "What are you doing?"
Hai Wei smiled as she handed the scale to Lu Yu, saying, "As long as you have my scale, you can find ."
Lu Yu didn't look at the colorful scale in her hand, lifted her up and placed her on the bed. Noticing the still bleeding spot, he took out the Black Jade Healing Ointnt and applied it to her.
Watching Hai Wei silly smile, Lu Yu remarked irritably: "Just lie quietly on the bed! Before your wounds heal, don't even think about going back in the water."
"For you." Hai Wei handed the colorful scale to Lu Yu again.
Lu Yu took the colorful scale and found it emitted a weak force pointing toward Hai Wei.
Moreover, he noticed sothing special—Hai Wei's blood was pure red, unlike the blue or blue-tinted red blood of sea beings.
He wondered whether all rmaids had red blood, or if Hai Wei was particularly unique.
"Don't worry, I will never abandon you!" Lu Yu said earnestly.
Hai Wei nodded, feeling a bit uncomfortable lying on the bed, she twisted her body slightly.
Whether today's experience was too intense, or due to pulling out a scale, Hai Wei felt drowsy, her eyelids drooping, she slowly closed them and fell asleep.
Lu Yu tucked her in carefully and left the room.
Standing outside the door, he looked at the colorful scale pointing towards Hai Wei, pondering: "The scales point to Hai Wei, then her people are likely collecting her scales, aning they could easily find her."
Touching the colorful scale in his hand, it transmitted a smooth warmth like jade, without the fishy sll of fish scales, nor any slick mucus, resembling more a jade-shaped scale.
Besides, just pulling out and selling Hai Wei's colorful scales as jade, many would likely buy them for collection due to the colorful warm jade stones' significant value.
The value of all Hai Wei's scales could very well exceed 53 million.
The Seven-Colored Rainbow Robe on Hai Wei, which cannot be removed nor destroyed, is even an indeterminable-grade treasure.
Of course, Lu Yu had no intention of stripping Hai Wei's scales and selling them. He put away the colorful scale in his hand and took out the Purple Fla Demon Saber to start training.
Spiritual Power poured into the Purple Fla Demon Saber, and violet-black flas rose.
The Purple Fla Demon Saber backfired on the wielder, the violet-black Purple Fla Demon Fire spread over Lu Yu's arm, gradually covering his whole body, flas penetrating deep, burning his soul.
Running Ice Fire Seven Heavens, Lu Yu continually refined the Purple Fla Demon Fire into himself, allowing a small portion to rge into his soul.
The Purple Fla Demon Fire tempered Lu Yu's body while also refining his soul.
No matter how many tis he trained, the soul-burning pain from the Purple Fla Demon Fire never diminished, but as Lu Yu's soul grew more resilient, his tolerance for the burning pain improved.
[Training Ice Fire Seven Heavens, absorbing a small amount of Purple Fla Demon Fire, progress on the third level 3%, Qi Blood 12, Spiritual Power 30]
The Purple Fla Demon Fire from the Purple Fla Demon Saber was waning, Lu Yu continued training until he couldn't feel the soul-burning pain anymore, opened his eyes to find only a flicker of fla left on the saber.
Lu Yu furrowed his brows, the Purple Fla Demon Saber seed to have reached the limit of providing Purple Fla Demon Fire.
Considering he refined the Purple Fla Demon Fire for nine consecutive days, it's quite reasonable to absorb all the Purple Fla Demon Fire within the saber. No equipnt can provide unlimited Purple Fla Demon Fire, eventually, even with Spiritual Power conversion, the original core within the equipnt would be depleted.
The core material used to refine the Purple Fla Demon Saber is the source of the Purple Fla Demon Fire, injecting Spiritual Power rely activates the inherent strength of that core material under spiritual weapon restriction.
Now, the core source of the Purple Fla Demon Saber was heavily drained by Lu Yu, endangering the origin, unable to produce more Purple Fla Demon Fire in a short ti, possibly even lowering the saber's grade.
In normal use of a Spiritual Treasure, even if the Purple Fla Demon Saber breaks, the core origin wouldn't necessarily be damaged.
But Lu Yu never treated the Purple Fla Demon Saber as a weapon, instead as a training resource, squeezing it for about five to six hours daily for nine consecutive days.
After nine days, the Purple Fla Demon Saber couldn't endure, the core origin refused to cooperate and quit.
The best approach is letting the Purple Fla Demon Saber rest for a while. Once its core origin recovers, it can continue to be squeezed for a while longer.
However, Lu Yu didn't do that. He looked at the Purple Fla Demon Saber and grinned, his white teeth shining in the sunlight.
Fingers lightly tapped the Purple Fla Demon Saber, both hands gripping it, forcefully bending the saber.
The Purple Fla Demon Saber is a fifth-grade spiritual weapon, but still relatively special among fifth-grade spiritual weapons. Its blade was extrely tough; although it was bent by Lu Yu, it showed no tendency to snap.
Releasing his grip, the Purple Fla Demon Saber trembled continuously, the edge cutting Lu Yu's palm, leaving white marks.
Taking the Purple Fla Demon Saber in front of his eyes, he lightly bit on the blade...
By evening, the sun was setting, the battle-damaged house had been cleaned up, ready to be rebuilt tomorrow.
Lu Yu sat in the courtyard, his shadow elongated by the sun, obscuring the door. Beside him, a pile of tal fragnts chewed into bits that had lost all power and turned to scraps.
Creak—the door opened, Hai Wei stood in the doorway where Lu Yu's shadow blocked the view, looking at him.
Lu Yu heard the door open, spit out the last mouthful of fragnts, turned to Hai Wei and said: "You're awake."
His voice was slightly hoarse.
While chewing the Purple Fla Demon Saber, he accidentally swallowed part of the blade, scratching his throat.
He could still feel that piece of blade in his stomach, emitting Purple Fla Demon Fire while being digested, with a burning sensation in his stomach.
