Chapter 338: Persuasion

Lu Yu requested the presence of two Supreme Beings to guard the harbor.

When he began to speak, some people had not yet left the area.

When they heard Lu Yu say such words, they couldn’t help but feel startled.

Among the largest powers in Huaxia, the Qin family currently has three Supreme Beings.

Moreover, as time goes on, this force continues to swell.

The reason no one dares to provoke the Qin family is also because of the three Supreme Beings, and even the forces behind those Supreme Beings.

A demonic leader inhaled deeply and said, “Did I hear that correctly?!”

“Is Lu Yu having two Supreme Beings guard the harbor?”

The four of them were immediately in an uproar!

Lu Yu asked the two supreme experts to stay and guard the port because he realized the awe that the six-thousand-meter-high mine had brought to everyone.

However, providing for two至尊is no simple task.

Perhaps the one thing the至尊needs could be enough for an organization to cultivate two experts at the Star Lord level.

Moreover—

If we calculate it this way.

Lu Yu’s side consisted of three Zun.

Oh, no!

They are the Four Supreme Ones.

Black Tiger, Lord of the Underworld, Demon-Slaying Elder, and Lu Yu.

A three-hundred-member organization that possesses a six-thousand-meter-tall mine mountain, three hundred Star Lords, more than three hundred ninth-rank star weapons, and four Sovereigns.

When it comes to strength, the top position in China might well be decided among three parties: the military, the Celestial Organization, and Lu Yu.

Some even gulped audibly, saying, “If these two Supreme Elders agree, this news would send shockwaves throughout all of China.”

“Not just that, I’m afraid the power rankings in Huaxia will have to be revised as well. By then, even the Qin family will be overshadowed.”

Many people held their breath and fixed their eyes on the Lord of the Underworld and the Demon-Slaying Elder.

As long as these two Supreme Ones nod their heads, the heavens will immediately change!

As the Supreme, Zhan Mo and Ming Zun were not overly surprised.

Zhuan Mo chuckled and patted Lu Yu on the shoulder, saying, “It doesn’t matter where I am, after all, it’s already a different era. Since you’ve asked me to stay, I’ll remain. As for offering worship, forget it. With your current abilities, you’re far from capable enough to serve two Supreme Beings like us!”

The Sovereign of the Netherworld chuckled and said, “Young friend, you’re too modest. Matters of cultivation are never simple. If we, the two Sovereigns, were to truly begin cultivation, the resources required would be so immense that even if you possessed two mines like this, you’d still go bankrupt. However, as fellow humans, mutual assistance is only natural. I understand your concern about attracting unwanted trouble because of the mine—it’s actually quite thoughtful of you. If you don’t mind, I’ll temporarily settle down here for now.”

The two supreme beings spoke, asking for nothing, willingly choosing to remain at the Fanggang.

Such a result left those who hadn’t left yet completely astonished.

“This, this is really big news!”

“With this move, Fanggang has become as secure as a fortress. With two Supreme Elders guarding it, who would dare to come!”

Boom!

Suddenly, the surroundings erupted into a frenzy.

This day in Fanggang saw two major news stories in a row, both more exciting and shocking than the rise of the Qin family.

“Hurry, hurry and send this message to the leader again.”

“Big news, this is really big news.”

“My goodness, is it time for reshuffling? Is China going to reshuffle everything?”

Some had a premonition that if Fanggang had these two Supreme beings, the vast coastal areas of southern China might soon fall entirely under Lu Yu’s control.

Lu Yu had just acquired a mine and also gained the assistance of two Zun.

When it comes to real strength, even the Qin family cannot compare to Lu Yu.

Many people exclaimed in awe, saying that watching Lu Yu was even more terrifying than seeing a devil.

The large group of people who had not yet left quickly dispersed.

However, Lu Yu did not feel happy about the Demon Slayer Elder and the Underworld King agreeing to this matter.

Lu Yu gazed solemnly at the two Zun, and then solemnly took out from his bosom a bottle containing the essence of stars, saying, “Senior experts, I dislike owing others a favor. By inviting you two to guard this port, I assure you that your efforts here will not go unrewarded.”

Lu Yu placed the bottle of Star Essence under his hand and said, “I’ve heard that once one reaches the Supreme level, there are very few things that can further enhance a Supreme’s cultivation. However, I believe this Star Essence will certainly be of use to the two seniors!”

Lu Yu spoke in a calm tone, respectfully holding the Star Essence in both hands and offering it to Zhan Mo and Ming Zun.

The two Zun were originally very calm. However, when they saw the bottle, their expressions became extremely unnatural.

“This is the Radiance of the Stars!” the tone of the Spirit King was somewhat off, showing a hint of unrest and unable to remain calm.

The energy of the Starlight Essence is extremely unique; the Supreme Being sensed something extraordinarily unusual.

Therefore, when the Starlight Essence was taken out, the Dark Sovereign immediately sensed an unusual energy fluctuation.

It compared the uniqueness of the Starlight Essence with some information in its mind, and was immediately astonished.

The Starlight Essence can only be collected by those who possess the Star-Calling Art; it is forever unattainable for others.

When the冥尊 sensed the fluctuation of the星辰之华, he was even more astonished and turned his gaze toward Lu Yu.

This is not merely an issue of the brilliance of stars, but rather a matter of the art of drawing stars.

Could it be that Lu Yu actually possesses the Star-Calling Art?

Mingzun could not see through it, and he struggled to control his emotions.

Old man Zhan Mo was not devoid of such thoughts either.

Although he sensed the presence of the Star-Calling Art in this era, he did not know where it was.

But now he knew, and was equally surprised.

The Demon-Slaying Elder inhaled deeply and said, “Unbelievable! You actually possess the Starlight Essence!”

Lu Yu’s expression turned serious as he said, “With the two seniors here guarding Fanggang, I assure you I won’t let your efforts go to waste. I have a way to obtain the Power of the Stars—I believe that’s exactly what the two seniors truly need!”

Although Zhan Mo and Ming Zun did not expect Lu Yu to pay anything in return!

They simply wanted to help Lu Yu because he was a fellow human being.

They never expected Lu Yu to come up with such a thing to give them.

Stellar Radiance—

This kind of thing is truly very important for the Supreme Being.

For ordinary cultivation, acquiring one hundred trillion attributes would take at least a year.

If one obtains the Starlight Essence, they can absorb the attributes accumulated over the entire year within just a month.

What Lu Yu brought out really intrigued the Spirit King and the Evil Elder.

The brilliance of the stars indeed made it impossible for them to resist.

The Supreme Ruler of the Netherworld and the Demon-Slaying Elder stared at the small bottle, exchanged a glance, and found themselves at a loss whether to shake their heads or nod.

Finally, the Sovereign of the Netherworld spoke, saying, “Young friend, we are not helping you for the sake of the Starlight.”

Lu Yu said solemnly, “Senior cultivators, you both already agreed to assist me before I even presented the Star Essence. I believe your intentions to help me are genuine. However, I do not wish to owe either of you anything. I think offering this Star Essence as compensation should adequately meet your needs. I cannot promise much in return since I am unsure what challenges await me. Still, I can guarantee a supply of ten vials of Star Essence per month for both of you.”

Zhan Mo said solemnly, “It’s not just about a few bottles—”

Zhan Mo and Ming Zun exchanged a glance, then Zhan Mo said with a bitter smile: “How about this, young friend? Just supply us with three bottles each month. We won’t need more than that. As for guarding this place, you can rest assured. As long as we are still alive, not a single piece of ore will leave here in the hands of outsiders.”

The two people required exactly enough Starlight Essence to meet their needs for a month.

Helping Lu Yu was simply helping Lu Yu; the two didn’t want to take any advantage of him.

“This—” Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, realizing that the two of them didn’t intend to take advantage of him. He then sighed and said, “Since that’s the case, I won’t force the two seniors. Three bottles of Starlight Essence per person per month—I can absolutely guarantee that.”

Lu Yu took out eighteen bottles of Starlight Essence and handed them to the two elders, saying, “For now, I’ll supply you both with a three-month stock. In three months, I guarantee I’ll provide you elders with a full year’s supply first!”
