Chapter 1964: Li Yuqing, Fiery Eyes

Cai Yunfeng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps he is Five-Element Master's hidden agent, or even an avatar. Five-Element Master should be within the market; the most dangerous place is often the safest. Keep a close eye on him and observe his movements."

"Yes, Martial Uncle Cai."

Chen Xin acknowledged the order, turned, and left.

Cai Yunfeng flipped his hand, took out a light blue magic disk, infused it with a spell, and said, "Fairy Sun, we have found someone suspected to be Five-Element Master. Are you interested in joining forces?"

"Joining forces? With the power of your Zhenhai Palace, Fellow Daoist Cai, are you not confident in capturing Five-Element Master?" a pleasant female voice came from the blue magic disk.

"This is the territory of the Divine Weapon Sect, not our Zhenhai Palace. Fairy Li possesses fiery golden eyes and should be able to see through Five-Element Master's disguise. What do you think, Fairy Li?" Cai Yunfeng's tone was heavy. The Fairy Li he referred to was from the Li family of Golden Leaf Island. She possessed fiery golden eyes, capable of seeing through most disguises. Unless Five-Element Master had a Heaven-Reaching spiritual treasure of mid-grade or higher to alter his appearance, he would be unable to conceal his form from her fiery golden eyes.

"Alright, it's a deal. Once Five-Element Master is eliminated, I don't want the Heavenly Void Jade Book. I want his treasures instead. Is that acceptable?"

Cai Yunfeng was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained his composure and readily agreed.

In a quiet courtyard with red tiles, there was half an *mu* of Fire Cloud bamboo. Beside the bamboo grove was a red stone pavilion. A graceful young woman sat on a stone stool, holding a red magic disk, with a thoughtful expression on her face. The young woman wore a red *ruqun*, with her slender waist encircled by a green jade belt. She had cherry lips, a delicate nose, black hair like a waterfall, eyes like water, and strikingly moist, rosy lips, appearing captivating. On her wrists were a pair of scarlet jade bracelets, constantly shimmering with spiritual light.

This was Li Yuqing, who possessed fiery golden eyes and was at the Mid-Void Refinement stage.

Behind her stood a fair-faced young woman in a blue skirt and a tall, upright young man in a green robe. Both were Deity Transformation cultivators.

"Aunt Seven, are we really giving the Heavenly Void Jade Book to Zhenhai Palace? The Heavenly Void Jade Book is no ordinary item. If we could obtain it, our Li family might reach new heights." The young woman in the blue skirt said with some excitement, her face showing a look of longing.

"Our Li family's strength is far inferior to Zhenhai Palace. The Heavenly Void Jade Book is an inanimate object. Obtaining it won't immediately grant our Li family several more Integration stage cultivators; it would only invite unnecessary trouble. Most importantly, too many factions are eyeing the Heavenly Void Jade Book in Five-Element Master's possession. Otherwise, why would I easily give it to Zhenhai Palace?" Li Yuqing said slowly, her gaze serious.

"Aunt Seven considers the long-term; your nephew admires that," the young man in the green robe nodded in agreement.

"Stop flattering me. This is a great opportunity for your training. It's certainly not just us who are after Five-Element Master; other factions might also be targeting him. If a real fight breaks out, it will definitely be a fierce battle. This is also one of the reasons I'm yielding the Heavenly Void Jade Book." Li Yuqing's voice was heavy.

"Aunt Seven, do you think Five-Element Master has truly colluded with foreign races? There are many foreign races here." The young man in the green robe asked curiously.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. You might even have to fight foreign races. Be careful, don't be careless. Any foreign race brave enough to appear in the market isn't an ordinary opponent." Li Yuqing cautioned.

The young woman in the blue skirt and the young man in the green robe repeatedly affirmed and agreed.

In a secluded courtyard, Hu Xiaotian sat in a stone pavilion, holding a shimmering round mirror in his hand. The mirror showed a round-faced, large-eyed middle-aged man. His face had over a dozen eyeballs, clearly indicating he was a Multi-Eyed Race cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, no, I should call you Fellow Daoist Liu. Do you really think your actions are discreet? Have you not noticed some strangers appearing near your residence?" the middle-aged man said meaningfully.

Hu Xiaotian's expression changed, and he frowned, saying, "What Fellow Daoist Liu? You've mistaken me for someone else."

"I wish I were mistaken. When the Divine Weapon Sect comes knocking, you can tell them that! Your main body is healing, isn't it? If you don't want to die, leave the market immediately; we will protect you. If you are willing to join our Multi-Eyed Race, you will certainly be greatly valued. If you are unwilling to join us, that's fine too. Hand over the Heavenly Void Jade Book, and we can offer you a generous reward and ensure your safe departure from this place." The middle-aged man's voice was full of temptation.

Hu Xiaotian was somewhat swayed. He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll consider it. I'll contact you once I've thought it through."

After he finished speaking, the mirror surface dimmed.

Half a month quickly passed. Wang Changsheng emerged from the basement, his face relaxed. He had successfully repaired Wu Yong's treasure and intended to proceed with the transaction.

A dazzling spiritual light lit up on his chest. After a blur, Wang Changsheng transformed into a stout middle-aged man.

After the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, Wang Changsheng appeared in a private room at a teahouse, ordered a pot of spiritual tea, and waited quietly.

Soon after, Wu Yong pushed the door open and entered.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, how is it? Is it repaired?" Wu Yong asked nervously.

Wang Changsheng took out a green jade box, handed it to Wu Yong, and said, "Fortunately, I did not fail in my mission; it has been repaired."

Wu Yong opened the jade box and saw two constantly glowing green orbs inside. He infused a spell, and the two green orbs immediately flew up, circling him ceaselessly, then suddenly transformed into a thick green light barrier that enveloped his entire body. When he retracted the spell, the green light barrier vanished, and the two green orbs landed back in his hand.

He took out a green storage ring and handed it to Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng inspected it carefully, nodded, and accepted it.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, let's exchange contact information! In the future, if you acquire good artifact refining materials, please consider me first; the price is negotiable," Wang Changsheng suggested.

Wu Yong considered it for a moment, agreed, and took out a shimmering silver magic disk. Wang Changsheng took out a blue-glowing magic disk. Both of them infused a spell, and a streak of escape light flew from each disk, disappearing into the other. The blue magic disk suddenly brightened intensely. Wang Changsheng made a few gestures, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I have something to attend to. I'll take my leave first." After saying this, Wang Changsheng hastily departed.

A short while later, Wang Changsheng appeared on the ninth floor of Tianhai Tower. He had already returned to his true appearance. Wang Ruyan, Chen Xin, Lu Guanghong, and seven other Deity Transformation cultivators stood respectfully in formation. Besides Cai Yunfeng, there was also an elder over fifty years old. The elder wore a green daoist robe, carried a green wooden sword on his back, and had a nonchalant expression. Judging by his spiritual power fluctuations, he was clearly a Mid-Void Refinement cultivator.

"Martial Uncle Cai." Wang Changsheng bowed respectfully and stood dutifully to the side. Chen Xin had suddenly informed him of an urgent mission, instructing him to come to Tianhai Tower immediately.

"Allow me to introduce you. This is Junior Martial Brother Zhao. You will accompany us on an urgent mission. This mission is extremely important to our Zhenhai Palace; success is the only option, failure is not permitted. Do you understand?" Cai Yunfeng's gaze was stern.

"Yes, Martial Uncle Cai," Wang Changsheng and the others agreed in unison. Except for Chen Xin, the other Deity Transformation cultivators were completely bewildered.

The green-robed elder took out a green porcelain bottle, poured out a pale golden pill, and swallowed it. After a dazzling golden light shone on his face, his features changed accordingly. Cai Yunfeng followed suit, altering his appearance. Five-Element Master was skilled in artifact refining, and ordinary disguise techniques would not fool him. Using a sixth-tier medicinal pill to alter one's appearance was a better option.

"Let's go! Depart!" Cai Yunfeng waved his sleeve and led Wang Changsheng and the others out of Tianhai Tower. After leaving the tower, they dispersed and headed towards the outskirts of the market.
