Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 729: Chapter 376: Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm

In the VIP room of the Countless Treasure Tower, Lu Yun lightly swirled the amethyst square teacup in his hand.

He frowned slightly and lifted his gaze to Huang Feng beside him, his eyes deepening a touch.

“Trade? Isn’t that exactly what we’re about to engage in?”

“No, this trade is not that trade.”

Huang Feng gently shook his head, fixating his spirited eyes on Lu Yun, and with a smile said, “This trade is between you and me, different from the previous kind of trade.”

Lu Yun’s tranquil gaze relaxed, a faint smile appearing in his eyes. He took a sip of spirit tea before saying with interest, “Since that’s the case, please enlighten me, Steward Huang, regarding the nature of this trade.”

A satisfied smile spread across Huang Feng’s face, and he promptly retrieved a Jade Slip from his bosom, handing it over.

“I’ve inscribed all of the details of the trade on this Jade Slip. Junior Brother Lu, you need only use your consciousness to inspect it, and I believe you’ll find it of interest,” Huang Feng explained.

Lu Yun nodded, received the Jade Slip, and covered it with his consciousness. Instantly, a plethora of information, exceeding ten thousand characters, appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

Actually, it was all about the trade details.

Every steward of the Countless Treasure Tower has an investment quota, where they choose an investor, who upon meeting certain conditions, can enjoy certain discounts when purchasing pills, spirit weapons, and other treasures from the Countless Treasure Tower.

Once their chosen investor advances to True Inheritance Disciple of the Green Flame Palace and is recommended to the Sect’s senior officials, the steward is then qualified for promotion to a higher stewardship role.

Each steward has only one investment quota in their lifetime, so they must be extremely careful in selecting their investor.

In his hundreds of years as a steward at the Countless Treasure Tower, Huang Feng had been covertly observing the disciples of the Green Flame Palace, looking for those with the aura of Heavenly Prides to invest in.

However, the investment quota was too important for him, and he hesitated to make a choice.

A year ago, he suddenly took notice of Lu Yun coming to the Countless Treasure Tower to exchange for Pure Origin Pills.

At that time, Lu Yun was merely at the Golden Core Realm, undoubtedly the least eye-catching among all the Official Disciples, yet also the most conspicuous, prompting Huang Feng to pay him some heed.

In just a few months’ time, when Lu Yun returned to the Countless Treasure Tower, he had already reached the Heavenly Human Realm.

At this point, Huang Feng’s casual observation switched to close attention.

Because there was only one investment quota, he needed to choose his investor carefully over many years, or even decades.

Out of caution, before meeting Lu Yun, he had already shortlisted several candidates, among whom were those at the ninth and tenth layers of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Yet, the potential displayed by these candidates still wasn’t enough for him to make an immediate decision.

When Lu Yun entered the Countless Treasure Tower for the third time, Huang Feng’s careful heart started to waver.

From that moment on, he regarded Lu Yun as his number one candidate, resolved to make a decision after observing for another year or two.

But not much later, he regretted not acting sooner. In just over a year, Lu Yun had ascended from the Golden Core Realm to the seventh layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Such an astounding advancement, among the multitude of Official Disciples in the Green Flame Palace, placed him nearly at the top.

If he didn’t make a decision promptly, other stewards would surely court Lu Yun, and by then, regret would be futile.

Therefore, in this period, Huang Feng had almost forsaken cultivation, waiting attentively at the first floor of the Countless Treasure Tower, hoping for Lu Yun’s arrival.

That is the context for the event previously unfolded on the ground floor of the Countless Treasure Tower.

As Lu Yun set down the Jade Slip, he’d already made up his mind.

“As long as Junior Brother Lu agrees, from this moment onwards, you will be my sole investor. All your consumption at the Countless Treasure Tower will enjoy a discount of five percent off.

Once you become a Heavenly Pride on the Mountain River List, all transactions will receive a ten percent discount…

After that, as you advance to Elite Disciple, Core Disciple, the treatment will continue to improve,” Huang Feng added with a smile, lifting his teacup and gesturing towards Lu Yun. “Junior Brother Lu, what do you think?”

Although he knew the likelihood of Lu Yun refusing was slim, a trace of concern lingered in his heart.

“I would come off as rather ungracious if I refused such generous consideration from Steward Huang,” Lu Yun said with a smile on his face, raising his teacup to gently clink it against Huang Feng’s.

“To a fruitful collaboration!”

A hint of mirth appeared in Huang Feng’s eyes, and any lingering worries he had dissipated completely.

Now that a decision was made, there was no point in regrets. He immediately took out a purple-gold token and handed it to Lu Yun.

“Junior Brother Lu, when you come to the Countless Treasure Tower from now on, this purple-gold token will grant you access through the VIP passage to purchase the cultivation resources and treasures you need, all at a five percent discount,” Huang Feng said.

Lu Yun nodded and accepted the purple-gold token.

In his view, this was both a trade and a pact.

In this deal, it was undoubtedly Huang Feng who had invested the most and bore the greatest risk.

The other party offered his precious investment quota, while Lu Yun provided just a promise.

To the average Heavenly Pride, such a promise seemed rather ethereal, with slim chances of being fulfilled.

Becoming a True Inheritance Disciple of the Green Flame Palace is exceedingly difficult.

Exactly how difficult can be understood from the limited number of available positions for True Inheritance Disciples.

The Green Flame Palace’s Tai Yuan vein alone had over a million Official Disciples, yet only about thirty True Inheritance Disciples.

Beyond that, the weakest of the True Inheritance Disciples are at the Entering Saint Realm.

Of course, reaching the Saint Realm doesn’t guarantee becoming a True Inheritance Disciple either.

Among the Core Disciples, there are numerous powerful ones in the Entering Saint Realm, with strengths far surpassing most of the Green Flame Palace Elders.
