Chapter 888: Invitation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside the new, broad, and quiet courtyard, Ou Yangming closed his eyes to recuperate. Peculiar air flows fluctuated slowly around him.
At this mont, he seed to have assimilated into the universe. If one only sensed him without observing him, many cultivators would miss him.
This was an extrely shocking ability but unfortunately, nobody else was inside this courtyard, hence nobody was aware that he could achieve this.
All of a sudden, a faint fluctuation appeared in Ou Yangming’s heart as though a ripple was ford from a stone that was thrown into the water. Concurrently, a figure appeared in his mind.
Wu Xuning.
Ou Yangming curled his lips and curbed his thoughts. He awoke from the nearly in-depth ditation.
He opened his eyes and moved his ears slightly, which was when he heard faint footsteps.
Earlier on, Ou Yangming did not spread his ntal power on purpose to sense his surroundings, but his mind and the universe were connected. Therefore, the young fellow knew when Wu Xuning entered the area. This was a wonderful ability and was almost a trait that was only possessed by Venerable Ones.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming could not enter the mysterious state with a flash of thought like Venerable Ones could.
He must ditate and calm himself down completely to achieve it.
Even so, it would still be considered an amazing feat to others.
Ou Yangming slowly got up and arrived at the door. He flapped his sleeves gently, causing the door to open.
Judging from Wu Xuning’s footsteps, Ou Yangming was certain that he was heading toward the courtyard, thus he would not pretend to be reserved and ignore it.
Sure enough, Wu Xuning ca into his sight after a brief mont. The Wu family’s young master was slightly stunned when he saw the young fellow coming out to welco him. He imdiately quickened his pace and asked, “Big Brother Yu, why did you co out?”
Ou Yangming grinned and answered, “You’re here so of course, I should co out.”
Wu Xuning could sense Ou Yangming’s joy by looking at the smile on his face. He could not help but wonder, ‘What exactly happened that made Big Brother Yu so happy?’
In actuality, although Ou Yangming was staying in the Wu residence, he was not so close to Wu Xuning that he would co outside to welco him.
Ou Yangming was only elated from making a slight improvent in his cultivation after he shifted to a new courtyard, thus he beca livelier than before.
He laughed and asked, “Brother Wu, why did you co here in such a hurry?”
“Big Brother Yu, soone’s looking for you outside,” Wu Xuning quickly answered. He paused for a while before he added, “The person said that he t you once in the Forest of Death.”
Ou Yangming was moved. He experienced many things in the Forest of Death but if anyone t him and would co to the Wu family at this ti, there could only be one person.
“Su Tianqian...”
“Yes, it’s the Su family’s shopkeeper,” Wu Xuning noted in a deep voice, “Big Brother Yu, Shopkeeper Su isn’t a simple figure at all.”
OU Yangming smiled. “Anyone that was listed as the top 10 candidates on the Water Suspension Tablet wouldn’t be a simple figure.”
If Ou Yangming had not appeared out of nowhere, Su Tianqian would have been in the top 3. The shopkeeper was only second to the 2 clans with Venerable Ones in Huixun City, so how would anyone have the guts to belittle soone like him?
Wu Xuning nodded. “Big Brother Yu, Shopkeeper Su’s considered an almighty being in Huixun City. He’s only an Advanced Spiritualist, but the Su family’s Chamber of Comrce is unpredictable.” He hesitated for a while before he continues, “Besides, Su Tianqian’s very close to Pavilion Elder Xu Heran from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion, so they must be closely connected in many ways.”
Ou Yangming responded to him softly. He was familiar with the Beyond Heaven Pavilion.
It was an incredibly enormous force, which was not only highly influential in Zhangzhou but also Danzhou.
Even though Ou Yangming had not seen a Venerable One from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion, he could easily tell that they definitely had more than one Venerable One. If not, their foundation would have long been divided up by the other forces, and they could not have maintained such a scale.
Since Su Tianqian shared such a subtle relationship with the Beyond Heaven Pavilion and was a forthright person, it would not be surprising for him to thrive in Huixun City.
Ou Yangming nodded and asked in a deep voice, “Why is he looking for ?”
Wu Xuning fell silent for a brief mont before he answered, “He didn’t state his purpose of visit, but it might be related to the Su family’s Chamber of Comrce’s upcoming Auction et.”
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and looked at him in shock.
The young master explained sternly, “The Auction et held by the Su family’s Chamber of Comrce has always been one of the highlights in Huixun City, and it’ll be even more popular after each Hunting et. Hehe, Big Brother Yu, since you finished first in this year’s Hunting et, he’ll surely invite you to participate in the Auction et.”
“It’s an undeserved reputation.” Ou Yangming chuckled. He walked out of the courtyard and said conveniently, “Since the guest is here, I’ll go out to et him.”
Wu Xuning nodded and was secretly delighted.
Since Ou Yangming said that, it ant that he no longer regarded Wu Xuning as an outsider. At the very least, he was sowhat speaking like a master.
It seed like the Wu family and the Xue family’s efforts of fawning over Ou Yangming during this period were not in vain.
Ou Yangming arrived at the Wu residence’s main hall after a brief mont and saw Su Tianqian.
Shopkeeper Su had frightening abilities and status in Huixun City indeed because he was accompanied by Wu Xiaohuang himself in the main hall at the mont.
Moreover, despite being a top-grade Spiritualist, Wu Xiaohuang did not make himself seem superior when he spoke to Su Tianqian. Instead, he looked like he was conversing with an equal-ranked powerhouse with a similar status.
Ou Yangming was not the ignorant fellow that he was before. He looked around and instantly noticed the subtlety behind this.
Su Tianqian stood up as soon as he saw Ou Yangming enter the main hall. He laughed out loud and uttered, “Brother Yu, congratulations.”
Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “I only won the first place in the Hunting et, and it’s not sothing worthy of your trip here to congratulate , Brother Su.”
Shopkeeper Su chuckled and responded, “I wouldn’t have co if it was a normal first place but...” He continued seriously, “The fact that you submitted 2 top-grade ferocious beasts’ blood crystals makes this trip worthy.”
The title would be the sa for anyone that finished first, but the values of the title would be entirely different depending on the number and qualities of the blood crystals submitted.
Sue Tianqian continued, “Brother Yu, you stirred up a sensation when you won first place in the Hunting et. Hehe, I asked around for a long ti before I found out that you’re a guest of the Wu family and the Xue family, so I took the liberty of visiting you here. Please don’t bla for this, Brother Yu.”
Wu Xiaohuang curled his lips. Indeed, things worked out like what he and Xue Yan had expected.
Given that a small figure who used to be a nobody suddenly finished first in the Hunting et, everyone would be curious about him.
Driven by curiosity or other reasons, people would surely do everything to find out Ou Yangming’s origin and would eventually publicize the reputations of the Wu family and the Xue family.
It had only been a few days since the Hunting et ended, but a figure like Su Tianqian had co to visit. This was only the beginning.
Ou Yangming waved his hand and smiled. “Brother Su, you’re being too polite.”
Su Tianqian slapped his forehead and laughed. “Ah, look at babbling away. I forgot about what I actually ca here for.” He turned his hand and retrieved 2 items from his sleeve.
One was a big red invitation while the other was a jade box.
“Brother Yu, this is a congratulatory gift that I prepared for you.” Su Tianqian handed the jade box to Ou Yangming first, then he held the invitation with both hands and expressed, “After half a month, the Su family’s Chamber of Comrce will be holding the most important auction this year, and I hope that you’ll honor us with your presence.”
Ou Yangming accepted the jade box but instead of opening it on the spot, he passed it to Wu Xuning, who was next to him.
Wu Xuning did not reject it at all. He took the box willingly with a cheerful smile.
Following that, Ou Yangming accepted the invitation from Su Tianqian with both hands as well. This ti, he opened it up.
Inside the invitation, it was written that Yu Tianrui—the Hunting et’s winner—was invited to the Auction et, but so tiny words were also written on the side.
Ou Yangming was sharp-eyed, so he still saw the tiny words clearly.
They were the nas of many precious items, and it was obvious that they were the items that would be auctioned during the Auction et.
The young fellow scanned the items briefly but stopped when he saw the last item’s na.
His face changed, and he uttered softly, “Heavenly Fire Ore...”
“What? A Heavenly Fire Ore...” Wu Xiaohuang looked like he was not bothered, but he had been observing the others carefully and listening to them closely.
Therefore, he could not help but shout when he heard Ou Yangming’s exclamation.
Similarly, Wu Xuning, who was holding the jade box like a log, was also surprised. He looked at Su Tianqian in disbelief.
A Heavenly Fire Ore was equivalent to the Cold Water Ore that Ou Yangming obtained from stone-gambling at the Beyond Heaven Pavilion in the past. They were both precious ores of the Five Elental Ores.
Such an ore was certainly a supre material desired by every blacksmith.
Normally, a powerhouse would keep material of this level and smith a piece of equipnt for his or her own at a suitable ti.
Money would no longer be the issue if one wanted to find this material in the circulating market; it would be up to one’s luck and character.
This was why Wu Xiaohuang and the others almost did not believe what they heard when they heard the words “Heavenly Fire Ore”. However, when they saw how shocked Ou Yangming was but how calm Su Tianqian was, they rembered that the shopkeeper would not joke about such a thing.
As expected, Su Tianqian nodded and said, “Yes, a Heavenly Fire Ore.”
