Another night had passed as Long Ming woke up from his cultivation session. Wearing a casual robe, he went for a stroll in the Holy Qilin City streets.
His eyes fell on the enigmatic fried dough seller, who just set up his stalls.
" Hoho, Uncle, It seems you are pretty early today." Long Ming laughed lightly as he walked to him.
" ? Early?" The middle aged man laughed. " I always open my stall at this ti. It's you who ca early today."
" Haha, Is that so?" Long Ming picked his seat, " Then I will have two servings of fried dough and a bowl of beancurd paste."
" Just a mont."
The middle aged person gave a glance to Long Ming as he started to prepare for his order.
" Well, I guess my day is going to be good." The middle aged man smiled.
" Why do you think that, Uncle?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.
" Well, My first custor is the winner of Imperial Tourant after all."
" Ah, So uncle knows ?" Long Ming chuckled. " But this isn't fair. I don't know uncle at all."
" Haha, My na is Ma Xuzhou. My house is just nearby." Ma Xuzhou laughed. " Besides, in front of your fa, how can an ordinary person like stand?"
" Hehe, It's just the generosity of Senior Ma. If you show your authority, very few in this Holy Qilin Empire would dare to go against you."
Ma Xuzhou's eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Ming. " Here, Your beancurd and fried doughs."
" Mm, These are pretty tasty." Long Ming munched on them with relish as he looked at Ma Xuzhou.
" Haah, I guess I am really getting old. I didn't expect soone would be able to see through my disguise. And a young brat like you." Ma Xuzhou sighed as he started to fry another batch of dough.
" Well, Senior is only half right. It's just I am too special and talented, who manage to see through your realm. I doubt there are many who have the sa abilities as ."
" Oh, I like your confidence. I guess the Four Seasons Valley truly got blessed by amazing talents in this era." Ma Xuzhon sighed.
" Elder Ma, Are you affiliated to the Imperial Family?" Long Ming couldn't help but ask in a curious voice.
" What do you think?" Ma Xuzhou glanced at Long Ming with an amusing smile.
" I feel you are affiliated to the Imperial Qin Family, but you aren't soone who has Qin Family's Bloodline." Long Ming spoke.
" Hehe, I guess your eyes are sharp after all." Ma Xuzhou nodded as he looked at the sky.
" Just say I have soone who already left his position and enjoying a bit of my old years leisurely."
" What is the age of Senior Ma?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.
" Well, I think I just crossed the mark of a thousand years?" Ma Xuzhou spoke.
Long Ming hissed as he took a breath of deep air. " Well, I guess Elder Ma must know various secrets of the world."
" What do you want to ask, brat?"
Ma Xuzhou looked at Long Ming. He knew that Long Ming had so intentions since he approached him.
However, he felt Long Ming's personality was better than most of his peers, giving him a favorable impression.
" Sky Fountain Palace?" Ma Xuzhou was startled. " Ah, Now you say that, It seems like it's already ti for it to open."
" Elder Ma knows about this place?" Long Ming was surprised.
" Of course, The Sky Fountain Palace is a mysterious realm, with no definite ti of opening. In minimum, it will take a hundred years to open and it can be stretched to a thousand years."
" And guess what? It's already been a few centuries since it appeared."
" The gate of Sky Fountain Palace randomly appears between the mountain range of Eastern and Central Province."
Long Ming's face turned odd when he heard that. ' Wait, Does that an the fragnts of treasure maps everyone talking about are of Sky Fountain Palace?'
" Then, Senior Ma, do you know anything about Daoist Hong Luo?"
" Hong Luo? You can't be talking about Sanguine Monarch Hong Luo, right?" Ma Xuzhou was startled. " But then, it's rumored that he left his inheritance inside the Sky Fountain Palace. So, might be talking about him."
' I guess I was right! But then… Why that figure inside the jade fragnt warn against the inheritance of Hong Luo? Is there sothing I don't know?'
" Elder Ma, If you have any information, Can you give it to ?" Long Ming asked expectantly.
" Well, I do…But should I tell you?" Ma Xuzhou chuckled.
" I have already talked enough with you. An ordinary man like can't know many things about ancient cultivators."
' What's with this bastard?'
Long Ming's face turned sour when he heard Ma Xuzhou. However, he already revealed a lot, and getting the remaining information would be pretty easy.
[ Ding! Daily Quest has arrived! Hos received 5000 drops of Fla Spirit Blood]
[ Fla Spirit Blood: It's not the blood of any beast, the condensation of natural spiritual fla with Fla Dragon Ores. It can be used to empower the fla during forging or can be used in pill refinent]
[Ti limit: One day]
[ Reward: 4000 Credits]
[ Failure: -4000 Credits]
Long Ming clicked his tongue when he saw the impressive reward of 4000 Credits. However, looking at the description of the Fla Spirit Blood drops, Long Ming felt he wouldn't be able to use it as quickly as the previous items.
' Well, If I can't use them, I will just sell them.' Long Ming thought inwardly.
Suddenly, turning around, he looked at Ma Xuzhou. Since he is already a powerful Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator, he probably has a lot of treasures, right?
" Elder Ma, Do you want to have a deal with ?" Long Ming spoke with a smile, almost giving goosebumps to Ma Xuzhou
" What is it?"
" Do you know anything about Fla Spirit Blood?"
" Fla Spirit Blood? Do you have it?"
Long Ming suddenly felt a shift in the atmosphere, like the calm and easygoing deanor of Ma Xuzhou changed instantly. However, the Desolate Immortal Aura and Immovable Heart of Long Ming didn't make him feel anything.
" Ah, Forgive . I just got a bit…Absent minded." Ma Xuzhou realized what he had just done as he apologized.
However, he was also amazed by Long Ming's resilience. After all, an aura of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator can even make a Harmonization Realm cultivator bend on his knees.
Yet, Long Ming stood calm and composed, as if he just felt a light breeze.
" It's alright, Elder Ma. I have quite a lot…Like…5000 drops."
" What? 5000 drops?!"
Ma Xuzhou almost jumped when he heard the amount of Fla Spirit Blood Long Ming had.
" Are you trying to trick ?" Ma Xuzhou couldn't help but frown.
" Haha, Elder Ma, do I look like soone with a death wish?" Long Ming chuckled. " As I said, It's a trade. I give you the drops and you shall give sothing of equal value."
" 5000 drops are…a bit too much." Ma Xuzhou frowned. " But it's also alright. I do need a lot of Fla Spirit Blood."
" How about this? I have a Royal grade soul technique. Along with it, I can give you the demonic core and spirit blood of a Demon King."
" Hmm, These sounds very good. However, I think Elder Ma should add sothing extra. You know…Goodwill towards the younger generation?"
" Brat, You are going too far." Ma Xuzhou looked at Long Ming with a gaze of contempt.
" Well…" Long Ming shrugged. " I don't think anyone has as much as Fla Spirit Blood as I have right now. So, Elder Ma should think carefully."
" Damned brat…" Ma Xuzhou sighed as he pondered for a mont. " How about… A treasure map?"
" Of Sky Fountain Palace?" Long Ming looked at him.
" No, But sothing in the Westward Bay." Ma Xuzhou shrugged. " Actually, I never verified the authenticity of the treasure map, but I believe it's genuine."
" You want to give a treasure map that might be fake?" Long Ming beca speechless.
" Take it or leave."
" Fine…I guess it can work." Long Ming sighed as he nodded. When Ma Xuzhou saw the five thousand drops of Fla Spirit Blood, his eyes quivered with excient.
" Haha, fucking hell! To think I would get so much Fla Spirit Blood…And they are so pure!" Ma Xuzhou laughed out loud.
" Well, I hope Elder Ma would keep guiding in future." Long Ming cupped his fist as he turned around to leave.
" Wait for a mont." Ma Xuzhou called Long Ming, making him stop.
Taking out a few thick books, he handed it to Long Ming. " Judging from your look, you are very inexperienced. You should use your youth to explore various things across the world."
Glancing at the book titles, Long Ming's eyes shone.
" Haha, I shall keep that in mind, Elder Ma."
