Chapter 226: What Do You Need Me to Do?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

That night, Lu Mingshu had a good rest. She was unaware of what was happening when she was asleep.

When she stepped out of her room, Yu Ruohan was already in the hall. Seeing Lu Mingshu enter, she flashed Lu Mingshu a bright smile.

“Morning, Senior.” Lu Mingshu sat down where Yu Ruohan was pointing at.

Yu Ruohan called over a servant girl to bring breakfast over.

In many worlds, cultivators didn’t like to eat because the food was too oily for them, but in this world, it was different. Martial arts needed to be trained from a young age, and everyone valued the nutrition from food. Even though Yu Ruohan could directly fuse nutrients into her blood already, eating was still the simplest way to gain mystic force.

While they were eating, Yu Ruohan turned to Lu Mingshu. “Where are you planning to go next?”

Lu Mingshu thought for a while. “I have a conflict with the Ye Family now. It’s best if I don’t stay here anymore. I guess I will go to Black Crane State next.”

“Do you have any goals other than travelling?”

“Goal?” Lu Mingshu paused. “Erm, finding resources to forge a sword.”

“What resources are you lacking?”

She had acquired some Mystic Yellow Stones, so it was only Fairy Gravel that was left. “Fairy Gravel. Has Senior ever heard about it?”

Yu Ruohan nodded and understood. “It’s difficult to find. It comes mostly from meteorites, so it’s all about luck.”

“So that’s why.” Lu Mingshu felt her head aching. Even in the Heavenly Wheel, it wasn’t easy to get it. It depended on luck.

“But,” Yu Ruohan smiled thinly, “I know a friend who has it.”

“Really?” Lu Mingshu squealed. “Can Senior please refer me to him?”

Yu Ruohan shook her head. “No need for the trouble. I can get it for you.”

Lu Mingshu was dumbfounded. When she finally regained her senses, she saw Yu Ruohan smiling brightly at her, eyes wrinkling. “May Junior know what Senior needs in return?” she asked carefully.

Yu Ruohan placed her chopsticks down and looked at Lu Mingshu with admiration. “To be honest, I need to ask for your help. But please be at ease, it’s not going to cause you harm, only benefits.”

Even though Yu Ruohan said that, Lu Mingshu dared not believe until she heard the details.

Yu Ruohan let out a laugh. “Jasper Sun Mountain. Have you heard of it?”

“One of the mountains in Beiming. I heard that beasts have taken over the mountain, and no one is allowed inside.”

Yu Ruohan said, “Tianzhu Mountain, Jasper Sun Mountain, and the North Pole Mountain; three mountains in Beiming. Tianzhu Mountain is where Ancient Jade Summit is. There are no signs of mankind on the North Pole Mountain. As for Jasper Sun Mountain, it isn’t filled with ferocious beasts. The real reason is that a grandmaster is living there.”

Lu Mingshu’s jaw dropped when she heard this. “Grandmaster? Void Realm?”

“Yes, one can only be considered a grandmaster when he or she is in the Void Realm.”

When one could see the world clearly, it would be a completely empty space for him. It was said that the number of grandmasters in China could be counted with one hand. Even if one counted the ancient grandmasters that were no longer alive, the number would not be more than ten.

Every grandmaster was a powerful cultivator that surpassed even the powerful sects. When they became a grandmaster, there was nothing in the world they cared about anymore. For example, the grandmaster from Nine Jade Palace left ten years ago, and nobody knew where he went.

It was as hard as finding a needle in the sea to find a grandmaster in this world.

“Is this for real?”

“Of course. There are witnesses.” Yu Ruohan nodded.

“In that case, why is this information not known to the public?”

If there was really a grandmaster living in seclusion on Jasper Sun Mountain, Master would surely have written it down in his book, and someone in Zhongzhou would have told me before I left.

Yu Ruohan smiled in response.

Lu Mingshu understood what she meant from her smile.

Why would they spread out the news that there’s a grandmaster in Beiming? To them, one more person knowing was equivalent to one less chance for them.

“If it’s fast, it’ll be three to five years. It may even take up to ten years. The small stream of water connecting Jasper Sun Mountain to the Ming River will lower, removing the barrier. During that time, one can enter Jasper Sun Mountain.”

“So...”

“If someone’s performance catches his eyes, he will ask him or her to stay with him for a period. You should know the benefits of this, right?”

Lu Mingshu nodded furiously.

She used to envy Gao Xiang a lot because he was able to stay with Senior Uncle Zhuo daily and learn from him. An Assimilation Realm Elder was incomparable to a Spirit Realm.

Assimilation Realm cultivators were already so powerful, so what about the Void Realm? The higher their cultivation was, the bigger the difference. It was said that a Void Realm Elder was like a god. The world in his eyes was surely more exciting. If one could stay with a Void Realm grandmaster for a period of time, how much benefit would they gain? Everyone yearned for the chance.

“Senior hopes that I’ll go?”

Yu Ruohan nodded. “Yes.”

“Why me, though? Is Senior not eligible?”

Yu Ruohan shook her head and sighed. “To this grandmaster, the Spirit Realm is already fixed, and there’s no point in teaching since we can’t make any changes at this point. The Inner Breath Realm is too weak, so there’s no point in wasting time. The Harmonization Realm is the most suitable since they’re strong but still moldable. Even if I went now, he would not favour me.”

“I see....”

After calming down and sorting out her thoughts, Lu Mingshu realized that the benefit was extremely large.

“When is the next time we can enter? And how many know about it? And how do we present ourselves to the grandmaster?”

Yu Ruohan stuck out her finger. “First question. Not long ago, we got news that the weak stream’s water is decreasing slowly now. It will be in approximately three months.”

Three months? Lu Mingshu nodded. Not too long, I can afford to wait.

Yu Ruohan stuck out another finger. “Secondly, only a few sects, aristocratic families, and various powers. About ten groups know about this, and every group will send three people. That means there will be thirty people entering Jasper Sun Mountain.”

Third finger. “I can’t really answer this question. There’s only two who have ever gotten the grandmaster’s approval, and they have two different circumstances.”

Lu Mingshu calmed down. “Then, what does Senior gain from this? Even if the grandmaster approves of me, what will Senior get out of it?”

“If you get his approval, you can spend a period of time with him, and you can also request something. I hope that you could let us have the request.”

“If I get the grandmaster’s approval, I would no longer be under Senior’s control. Can Senior be at ease with that?”

“If we send you there and you go back on your words, we would be enemies with you from now on.”

“But if I never step into Beiming again, that threat is nothing to me, right?”

Yu Ruohan smiled, unreadable. “We have five Spirit Realms, are you sure you would like to offend us?”

Lu Mingshu smiled. She really didn’t think that five Spirit Realms would be that hard to tackle. If she got what she wanted, she was sure that she would be able to enter the Spirit Realm. When she did, five Spirit Realm enemies would be nothing to her. If I was such a scaredy-cat, I wouldn’t have dared to fight the Ye Family’s Third Young Master.

“So what does Senior want?”
