Grandmaster on Canglan Island i
Translator: 549690339 I
Upon seeing the lady in plain clothes, Xie Lingfeng’s expression turned serious. This was the only person he had met in the Inner Domain who could pose a threat to him.
“Young Master Xu.”
The woman in plain clothes spoke softly, approaching gracefully.
“You came at a perfect time. I want to return this to you as a thank you for lending a hand last time. If you ever have any trouble, I am willing to assist you once.”
Xu Yan took out a jade token and handed it to the woman.
“Young Master Xu, you are too polite. Please keep the jade token.”
The woman’s eyes seemed to hold a smile.
“No!”
Xu Yan stuffed the jade token into her hand.
He didn’t like owing people favours. Since he no longer needed it, he naturally wouldn’t keep it.
The lady felt a slight disappointment, but she did not insist on Xu Yan keeping the token. Instead, she took out a bag and handed it to Xu Yan, saying, “This is a thank-you gift for you, Young Master Xu. Inside there are three hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, and some Spiritual Medicines stored in the Tianbao Pavilion. You can redeem them at any Tianbao Pavilion.”
Xu Yan wondered, “A thank-you gift?”
A total of three hundred thousand Spirit Crystals was a large sum, and the Spiritual Medicine storage receipt indicated that those stored medicines must be quite valuable.
However, why was she thanking him?
“Young Master Xu, you killed the murderous skeleton, so I naturally have to thank you. That murderous skeleton committed evil acts and killed many people from my Unparalleled Pavilion. We’ve had a bounty on his head for a long time.
“Now that you’ve killed him, you have avenged those who lost their lives because of him in my Pavilion. Of course, I have to thank you.”
The woman seemed very pleased, as if a big load had been taken off her chest with the death of the murderous skeleton.
“The murderous skeleton again?”
Xu Yan was delighted. This murderous skeleton was widely hated. Although he didn’t get any Spirit Crystals from killing it, only a skeleton stick, the reward he received for it was a huge windfall.
“Then I shall accept without reservation.”
Xu Yan cheerfully received the bag.
“Young Master Xu, where are you heading?”
Seeing Xu Yan accepting the items, the woman seemed pleased and asked with a smile.
“To claim Canglan Island.”
Xu Yan did not hide the fact as there was no need to.
“How can I contact you, in case I need to?”
The woman asked.
“You can come to Canglan Island, or ask Brother Xie to relay the message.”
Xu Yan replied after some thought.
“Young Master Xu, if you have free time, you can come to Unparalleled Pavilion for a chat.”
The woman suggested with anticipation.
“I’ll see when I have some free time.”
Xu Yan’s response seemed rather perfunctory.
There was no need for him to temper his mind anymore, so there seemed to be no need to visit the Unparalleled Pavilion.
As for beautiful women;
They are nowhere near as intriguing as Sword Dao is!
The woman in plain clothes left, and Xu Yan continued on his journey towards Canglan Island.
“Who would’ve thought, that murderous skeleton was worth quite a bit. Killing him really made me a fortune.”
Xu Yan remarked with a sense of gratification.
Xie Lingfeng twitched the corner of his mouth. That woman from Unparalleled Pavilion was obviously delivering gifts on purpose!
The excuse about the murderous skeleton killing people from Unparalleled Pavilion was merely a pretense.
Unparalleled Pavilion may not be as prestigious as Sword Monarch Cliff, but it’s also one of the top powers with deep roots and many supporters.
Not speaking of the murderous skeleton, even Demon Lord Huo Tu wouldn’t dare to intrude into Unparalleled Pavilion recklessly.
The Unparalleled Great Grandmaster is also a pinnacle Great Grandmaster, whose strength isn’t much lesser than Demon Lord Huo Tu’s!
One is Du Yuying, and the other is the woman in plain clothes; both are going out of their way to provide benefits to Xu Yan. Xie Lingfeng is numb to it. As the outstanding genius of Sword Monarch Cliff and the only son of Xie Tianheng, he has never been treated like this.
He could only sigh that a true prodigious talent is welcomed wherever they go. Especially by women!
Canglan Island is some distance away from the Seven-star Study Palace. It is located in Yunfeng County of the Dayue Kingdom, on the Cang River and regarded as one of the islands on the Cang River.
When Grandmaster Yin Hong was alive, he took control of this island, dominating a territory and calling himself the Canglan Island Master, or Master Canglan.
With his demise, the people on Canglan Island didn’t dare to stay and all left.
The wealth and other things on the island couldn’t help but suffer some loss.
With Xu Yan’s fame for killing the murderous skeleton, naturally no one dared to covet Canglan Island. The deterrence of a Great Grandmaster is very strong anywhere.
Moreover, Xu Yan, who killed a Great Grandmaster, is even more so.
“I wonder how much is left on the island.”
Xu Yan remarked wistfully.
Merely saving Meng Chong from being hunted had made him rush to his aid, hence he had to delay the matter of Canglan Island. Now, after such a long time, surely a lot of things have been taken away from the island.
How much of Yin Hong’s legacy was left, wasn’t easy to say.
Of course, Xu Yan was now relatively wealthier. Although it hurt to lose Yin Hong’s legacy, the Canglan Island alone is invaluable.
It can be considered his territory in the Inner Domain.
Moreover, Canglan Island is located in the Cang River, one of the three main rivers of the Dayue kingdom, and has an excellent geographical location. There are also some special products on the island.
In the middle of the turbulent Cang River, there was an island standing tall, with ancient trees lush with verdant growth. Among the trees, there were pavilions, towers, palaces, and houses.
Canglan Island, which is several miles in circumference, is the largest island in the Cang River, rich in nature’s spiritual energy. A kind of Spirit Fruit grows there, which, despite lacking any special effects, tastes excellent. Martial Artists below the Seventh Grade who eat it can improve their physique and accelerate their cultivation.
Although it is only Ninth Grade, it bears fruit every year, and the quantity is considerable. It is a kind of high-quality fruit that can only be enjoyed by powerful figures in large forces and superior Martial Artists..
