Although Su Tu had never seen Kong Chunqiu’s appearance, the lean figure before him at this mont instantly reminded Su Tu of the connection between the two.
However...
Su Tu had heard that the Spring and Autumn Wealth God was a large-frad, portly man, yet the eerie figure stepping in the starry sky before him was so lean as to be skeletal.
To call it a ’person’ might as well be calling it a skeleton barely dressed in skin, with not a hint of full and healthy flesh visible.
And the eerie scene surrounding them was without a doubt the handiwork of this person.
Su Tu’s gaze fell upon that strange figure, and at the sa ti, the strange figure’s gaze also turned towards him.
In an instant, their gazes collided mid-air.
"This guy’s eyes!!"
Su Tu’s expression trembled slightly; the strange figure’s eyes were exceedingly peculiar. The left eye was clouded, bearing intelligence and scheming, with a depth that seed to hide a taint, closely resembling a copper coin stained with rust upon closer inspection.
anwhile, the right eye was clear and clean, with pupils not of a normal round shape but a peculiar form, resembling a... sycee.
What was even more bizarre was that upon seeing the right eye, Su Tu felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
At this mont, the lean strange man blinked, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Tu, his face—a skull draped in skin—was filled with a sincere smile.
The smile was utterly genuine, making people feel exceptionally warm.
However, this smile appearing on such a skull-like face brought a sense of indescribable discord.
Moreover, the speed of this guy was at a level incomprehensible for Su Tu, his figure appearing before his voice could be heard.
"Hello there!"
The mont Su Tu reacted, his figure turned into a swift breeze, retreating rapidly.
"Hello, I’m a rchant. Are you interested in making a deal with ?"
"Talent, combat power, treasures, wealth, beauties, cultivation—anything you desire, as long as you can afford the price, I can sell it all to you."
"So, dear guest, what might you wish to purchase?"
The lean strange man spoke word by word.
As he spoke, the rust-stained copper coin behind him began to flicker with a dark brown shimr, or perhaps it should have been a golden shimr, only covered by a mysterious aura, appearing in this color.
With the appearance of that color, a vast and boundless ’cabinet’ arrived before Su Tu’s eyes.
Within that cabinet, there were light clusters emitting an enticing allure.
These light clusters varied in size and shape, but all without exception captivated the heart and spirit.
Su Tu gazed at a pink light cluster, and the words ’beauties’ erged in his mind.
Then, before Su Tu’s eyes appeared one srizing woman after another: ethereal fairies, enchanting seductresses, voluptuous noblewon.
These won’s gazes towards Su Tu were the epito of allure, as if with just a crook of his finger, he could have them yield to his every whim.
"As long as you wish, these beauties are yours—and the price is, your flesh and blood."
The voice of the lean figure coincidentally echoed in Su Tu’s ear.
At this mont, Su Tu only felt a burning restlessness within, as if so power was amplifying his desires.
Feeling the oddity, Su Tu’s heart thought instantly sank; within his heart and spirit, it was as if blades fashioned of heart and spirit erged, instantaneously severing the desires lurking within the void.
This was one of the applications of Supre Thought, an unrevealed secret of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage, capable not only of becoming a killing array for external combat.
More importantly, the divine soldiers fashioned from heart and spirit could purify within, severing distractions and heart demons within the heart and spirit.
As long as one cultivated Supre Thought, they could internally sever, ensuring a martial artist’s heart and spirit remained absolutely safeguarded.
With the desires within extinguished, when Su Tu again beheld those alluring won, he rely felt as though viewing flesh-clad bones, without a ripple in his heart.
"Huh? Guest, are you dissatisfied..."
The strange man’s voice carried a hint of confusion.
"Then let’s change it..."
Soon after, the pink light cluster dissipated, replaced by a bright blue light cluster.
This ti, Su Tu saw a youthful figure standing atop the sky, countless prodigies seemingly beneath his feet.
Having barely erged halfway through life, other geniuses were just qualified to witness his rear view.
Talent!
These two words surfaced in Su Tu’s heart.
"Supre talent, once purchased, you will possess the zenith of talent under the Star River, and what people refer to as geniuses will rely be your backdrop."
"And the price is... your heart and spirit."
The strange man continued.
However, at this mont, Su Tu’s expression turned sowhat peculiar.
This so-called talent couldn’t stir even the slightest ripple within Su Tu.
According to Su Tu, it’s like..
Huh?? This is it??
This isn’t satisfactory... This is all?? Hmm... it’s just like this..
Feeling Su Tu’s sentints, the strange man appeared a bit puzzled: "Do you not understand the importance of talent?"
Su Tu replied: "I suppose I should understand.."
The strange man seed still sowhat perplexed, unable to comprehend why soone could remain unmoved facing such terrifying talent.
Just as the strange man intended to proceed with more transactions.
Buzz~
His clear right eye began to flash with brilliant light and shadow, the pupil shaped like a sycee beginning to surge with divine radiance.
"Ah!!!"
The strange man let out a cry of agony, reaching up to fiercely pound his own head.
Simultaneously, before Su Tu, the massive cabinet started to collapse and shatter.
