The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron

Chapter 429 Undead Herb of the Netherworld

"These three main ingredients are ingredients that are extremely hard to find," said Qiu Ningshui. "I can provide you with some information regarding the Undead Herb of the Netherworld. Apart from that, I have no information regarding the remaining Lightning Avoiding Silver Pearl or the Blood of a Real Dragon."

Just by listening to the names of the three ingredients, one would know that they were precious items that were difficult to come by. Hence, gathering all of them was definitely not an easy thing to do.

However, if Su Yu were to regain his eyesight and open his eyes again, the sealed powers of time and space—as well as Heavenly Eyes—could unleash their might again. With the power of the Heavenly Eyes’ mighty Heavenly Wrath, even people of the Fairy Realm might not be able to withstand the attack. And he was now etched in the mind of the Heavenly Ghost. If he did not find ways to survive, his future was fraught with grim possibilities.

"Thank you, elder, for telling me this," said Su Yu. "May I request that elder tells me the information regarding the Undead Herb of the Netherworld? I will do my best to search for it, and when the time comes, I hope that elder can help me."

Qiu Ningshui nodded. "Naturally. If you are really able to find the three ingredients, I will do my best to help you see the light again. You can go to the Blue Waves Island to find out information regarding the Undead Herb of the Netherworld! This island is the most prosperous merchandise street on the ocean, and it is also one of the important places the Heavenly Law Alliance uses to replenish their resources. Moreover, various types of shady treasures frequently appear on this island. A few days ago, when I went to replenish ingredients, I heard news of the Undead Herb of the Netherworld by accident. However, as I was in a hurry, I did not ask about it in detail. If you go to this island, you might even be able to find the Undead Herb of the Netherworld."

Blue Waves Island? Su Yu nodded his head. After thanking her, he left the warship and disappeared into the vast ocean.

Zhao Wuji, who had walked far away, reappeared silently. "Phoenix Master Qiu," he said, "Evil Destroying Silver Eyes is the number one divine eyes technique among the universe which Void World Seniors have tried to attain but failed to do. Isn’t telling Su Yu about it the same as making him work to no avail, wasting his energy as a result? According to what I know, Lightning Avoiding Silver Pearl and the Blood of a Real Dragon are not items that can be found on the Zhenlong continent. In particular, the Blood of a Real Dragon. Even in Jiuzhou, that is an extremely rare item."

Qiu Ningshui sighed indifferently. "Do you think I don’t know that? But having hope is better than having no hope!"

"Hehe. Seems you managed to get the Death Horn." Zhao Wuji laughed.

Qiu Ningshui frowned. "This item has been left for Xianer. I hope that Sword Saint Zhao can keep it a secret and not let the Alliance Master know about it."

"Hmm... I will not tell Long Juexin, that old bastard. If I did, he would think of every possible way to get this treasure and leave it for his son and daughter! The Heavenly Law Alliance is known for blessing all the outstanding people in the continent and treating everyone equally without discrimination. In actual fact, it nurtures the elders of the forces who are on good terms with the Long family, and that is unfair."

Qiu Ningshui was a bit dissatisfied. She said helplessly, "After all, the Long family is the family protecting the warship. Hence, we cannot do anything to them! Moreover, the Long family is becoming even more prosperous. In particular, Long Juexin’s son and daughter are prominent talents among the people!"

To that, Zhao Wuji sighed helplessly. "Forget about Long Feiyu. Although his talents are extraordinary, by my observation, he is impulsive. During his lifetime, his limit will be Half God. However, his daughter, Long Wuxin, has cultivated expressionless techniques, and her talents are shocking. I think she has a good chance of making a breakthrough to the Fairy Realm. Especially since the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion is about to descend. If she could get even a small opportunity, she would have higher chances of making a breakthrough to the Fairy Realm! She could very well be the fourth strong martial artist of the Fairy Realm amidst the countless ages of our Zhenlong continent."

Qiu Ningshui’s face turned a bit serious. "This woman is indeed frightening. It is only a matter of time before she surpasses you and me! For the past three years, she has been traveling, but it seems like she is about to return."

******

Following Qiu Ningshui’s instructions, Su Yu arrived at the widely known merchandise street island, Blue Waves Island.

The merchandise street on the island was massive, and it almost stretched from one end of the island to the other. After asking around, Su Yu came to the Golden Light Pavilion where Qiu Ningshui had heard about the Undead Herb of the Netherworld.

The Golden Light Pavilion was one of the two largest treasure pavilions within the merchandise street, and it dealt with extremely extravagant items.

After entering, a good-looking and sharp young lady rushed over with a smile. "Good sir, what item do you desire?" She calmly examined him. Apart from respecting him, she was secretly hoping that he was a big spender.

After thinking, Su Yu said, "I have some things I wish to sell."

Although the young lady was disappointed by his answer, she continued to treat Su Yu courteously. "The Golden Light Pavilion takes in some treasures occasionally, but it only takes in rare and precious items. May I know what Mister wishes to sell?"

The true meaning behind her words was that if they were items of average worth, Su Yu might as well not take them out.

After thinking, Su Yu took out a Black Crystal. It was an item that had been left behind by the Rakshasa after he had killed it. It contained an extremely dense dragon breath of the Demonic Dragon. For someone who honed ghost techniques, its effects would be extraordinary. Moreover, the Black Crystal also contained a bit of extremely pure soul energy. If it could be manufactured into an elixir, it would be useful for increasing one’s soul energy.

With Su Yu’s current soul energy, such a slight increment of the soul was negligible. Hence, the Black Crystal was not very useful to him.

The young lady was stunned. After taking a look at the Black Crystal carefully for a few times, she was still unable to discern what the item was. She could not help but frown. "What is this item?"

Su Yu’s eyebrows twitched. "It would be better to find someone who knows what this item is than to try to explain it."

The young lady was displeased. However, after hesitating slightly, she turned around and headed into the backyard. She had been at the Golden Light Pavilion for a long time. Although her judgment was not the best, it was much better than normal martial artists. This was, however, the was the first time she had seen a Black Crystal.

Soon, a scholar wearing a long grown strolled over and smiled warmly. "Sir, you have something that you wish to sell to this pavilion?"

Although he was polite, it was merely for the sake of good manners. Impatience was written on his face. It seemed like he had been disturbed. If not for the Immortal Level Four Peak aura that Su Yu was emitting, he might not have even been polite.

Whiz—

Su Yu tossed the Black Crystal over casually, and the scholar caught it automatically. After looking at it, he was first stunned. Then he started to smile. His eyes glowed with astonishment as he studied it.

"Sir, please follow me to the backyard," he said.

The middle-aged scholar looked left, then right vigilantly. When he looked at Su Yu again, he was filled with passion. He extended his hands and beckoned for Su Yu go in. Su Yu nodded. He did not stand on the ceremony and entered the backyard confidently. The middle-aged man then turned back and instructed the young lady, "Go to the warehouse immediately and come back with the First Rate Savory Spiritual Tea. Quick!"

The young lady was stunned. When she reacted, her expression changed quickly, and she ran toward the warehouse. The First Rate Savory Spiritual Tea was the highest level of treatment toward a guest. Only the Heaven Masters of the most powerful forces received such treatment! What kind of treasure did the bronze-masked young man bring, such that the shopkeeper became so serious?

"I am Qi Ming, the shopkeeper of the Golden Light Pavilion," the middle-aged scholar said passionately, facing Su Yu in the backyard. "May I know your great name, sir?"

Su Yu had an indifferent tone. "I am Black Snow. Are you interested in this item?"

Qi Ming was unfazed by Su Yu’s coldness. He smiled. "A Black Crystal—the crystal that forms within Rakshasas. To martial artists who hone ghost techniques, this is quite a decent treasure. If you wish to sell it, sir, my Golden Light Pavilion will definitely make you satisfied! This is not the first time that my Golden Light Pavilion has taken this item in. According to the prices from the past, this Black Crystal can be exchanged for two complete immortal-level cultivation techniques. If Mister is willing to sell it, I can make the decision and add on another low-grade divine artifact."

Two complete immortal-level cultivation techniques and a low-grade divine artifact? That seemed fair.

"Haha! Thank you, shopkeeper, for your kindness," Su Yu said, his eyes flashing. "However, this pavilion might not have the item that I want!"

Qi Ming’s eyes narrowed, and he said with a calm smile, "Might I ask, what do you seek? My pavilion has some of the continent’s... shadier items. Perhaps I might have an item you are looking for."

Su Yu drank a mouthful of tea and said leisurely, "I am looking for the Undead Herb of the Netherworld. If you can give me information regarding the whereabouts of this herb, I will give you this Black Crystal. If there is a complete herb, this item will be considered as an additional item, and I have other items to exchange for the herb!"

The Undead Herb of the Netherworld was a unique divine herb that was rarely seen. Its worth was comparable to the icy cold divine herb that Su Yu had swallowed.
