Chapter 852 Mu Liu’s Visi (2/2)
These ten days of studying allowed Zhou Yuan to constantly appreciate the mysteriousness of the Spirit Lantern Art, and it was this deep research that gave Zhou Yuan some confidence in the upcoming Heaven Flame Ritual.
Zhou Yuan asked Yi Qiushui to prepare ten sets of materials needed to practice the Spirit Lantern Art using the profit from the sales of the four Mother Runes. In these ten days, Zhou Yuan had tried and failed three times.
But Zhou Yuan wasn’t dispirited by this. As long as he learned from his failures, he had confidence that he could master the Spirit Lantern Art before the Heaven Flame Ritual.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Yuan closed his eyes again and continued to formulate the practice method of the Spirit Lantern Art.
However, he had just closed his eyes when his Spirit flashed. His eyes sprang open, and he peered at the woods outside the pavilion master building, saying, “Since pavilion master Mu Liu is here, why don’t you show yourself?”
As Zhou Yuan’s voice faded, the trees swayed lightly, and a figure slowly strode out from the woods and appeared on the roof with a flash.
It was the pavilion master of the Forest Pavilion, Mu Liu.
“It’s so late, why has pavilion master Mu Liu come to the Wind Pavilion?” Zhou Yuan sounded a little surprised.
Mu Liu, as always, had an incredibly clean look, and there wasn’t a speck of dust on him. Even his hair seemed to have been washed several times, and he looked outstandingly handsome. He scratched his head awkwardly and muttered, “I have been thinking about it for many days and have finally come to find you.”
“What’s going on?” Zhou Yuan asked puzzledly.
Mu Liu curled his lip. “Lu Xiao has allied with the Mountain Pavilion and plans to completely suppress the Wind Pavilion in the Heaven Flame Ritual. They must want to prevent you from continuing to grow stronger. Lu Xiao must be furious this time. He even came to ask the Forest Pavilion to join forces with them.
“He offered us 30% of the Heaven Sun Flame to unite with them and make the Wind Pavilion fail miserably this time!
“Zhou Yuan, if the three pavilions join forces, no matter what power you have, it’s impossible to turn it around.”
Zhou Yuan’s pupil shrank a little. He didn’t expect Lu Xiao would be willing to pay such a price to curb his cultivation progress.
As Mu Liu had said, if the three pavilions were to join forces, any means he had would be useless, including the Spirit Lantern Art.
“Zhou Yuan, although I don’t like Lu Xiao, I have to consider the benefits for the many members of the Forest Pavilion. He has given a great offer.”
“I understand.”
Zhou Yuan nodded. He and Mu Liu weren’t considered friends, and it was already very kind for him to come warn him, but he didn’t really intend to let Lu Xiao rope in the Forest Favilion.
“The Fire Pavilion’s offer is good, but I wonder if pavilion master Liu is willing to take a gamble?”
“What do you mean?” Mu Liu raised his brow.
Zhou Yuan squinted, a cold light flashing within them as he said loud and clear, “Our two pavilions will join forces to crush the Fire and Mountain Pavilions and will equally share the Heaven Sun Flame!”
Mu Liu looked surprised. “Even if we join forces, we can’t beat the Fire and Mountain Pavilions.”
“I will deal with the Fire Pavilion. The Forest Pavilion will only need to block the Mountain Pavilion,” Zhou Yuan calmly said.
“How can the Wind Pavilion beat the Fire Pavilion?” Mu Liu couldn’t help but ask.
“We’ll have to try.” Zhou Yuan smiled.
“You give me the feeling of an egg trying to crush a stone. This is too crazy. I don’t think I can convince the others of the Forest Pavilion.”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes drooped as he said, “If the Forest Pavilion is willing to join forces with us, no matter whether we win or not in the Heaven Flame Ritual, I can provide 300 high-grade mother runes to the Forest Pavilion every month at the price of ordinary mother runes.”
“Ch,” Mu Liu gasped, his eyes blazing. “The four mother runes said to have a 50% effect?”
He had long heard about the four high-grade mother runes, but unfortunately they were only provided to high-level members of the Wind Pavilion, and it was impossible to purchase any!
Zhou Yuan nodded.
Mu Liu’s expression changed uncontrollably. He froze for more than a dozen breaths, and finally, a fierce glint flashed through his eyes.
That bastard Lu Xiao thinks he can make I, Mu Liu, surrender by just throwing out some bones? He has underestimated me!
“Since you dare propose such a crazy plan, you must have something. My intuition is always very accurate. Fine…
“This time, I, Mu Liu, will join your crazy plan!”
