Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1536 - 1: Du Yun’s Surprise, the Fateful Illusion Spell!

The main issue is about the entry and exit of members from Moonfall Cemetery.

"Yuan Chen, aren't you asking for a bit too much?" Du Yun looked at the man in front of him, wearing black battle armor, his aura as cold as the vast universe.

"I'm just asking you to make an exception to allow my people from Purple God Mansion to retreat. And you're asking for such a high price?"

Du Yun was negotiating with 'Xingye Island', a top force in the Ancient Yan Yue, akin to the status of Purple God Mansion in Yuanhai Ancient Country.

"Mr. Du, I only agreed to let your people pass because of you. If it were someone else, there wouldn't even be a negotiation, it would be handled strictly according to the rules of the Ancient Yan Yue." Yuan Chen said blandly, "This price is already the lowest."

"Your price can't be considered low," Du Yun said, "for a small Boundary Boat to pass, you're asking for fifty million Red Star Coins. How could Origin Realm small Boundary Boats have so much money?"

The official requirement of the Flame Wind Ancient Country is that a small Boundary Boat costs 100 million Red Star Coins, a medium Boundary Boat 1 billion, and a large Boundary Boat 10 billion.

Yuan Chen's price was halved, but for the Origin Realm, it is still a huge burden.

The exchange rate between Red Star Coins and Yuanhai Coins is 1 to 350! How could Origin Realm members of Purple God Mansion afford such a toll?

According to this, even Third Realm travelers would have to give up a significant portion of their wealth to cross.

"Cut it down by half again," Du Yun said, "I owe you a favor."

"Mr. Du, I'm afraid I cannot comply," Yuan Chen shook his head.

The Flame Wind Ancient Country paid a cost to seize this passage; it has to make up for that through this wave of tolls.

And he is sure that Purple God Mansion is willing to pay this price.

"Mr. Du, you could discuss with other Pavilion Masters; if the situation worsens, there may not be this price anymore."

Du Yun wanted to say more, but suddenly his mind shifted, and he vanished from the spot.

Yuan Chen quietly awaited.

...

In the side hall, Zhao Xing activated the Treasure [Thousand-mile Yellow Sand Crossing], the lavish palace rippling in waves.

A starry sky appeared around him, with a void river beneath him.

About a thousand miles away on the other side of the river was Du Yun's figure.

"Swish~"

In a blink, Du Yun appeared in front of him, and the surroundings returned to normal.

Zhao Xing felt the Treasure, Yellow Sand Crossing, loosen from his hand and it appeared in Du Yun's.

Noticing the other party's slight displeasure, Zhao Xing quickly explained, "Pavilion Master, I have urgent matters to report, and I only used the Treasure you gave me due to the urgency."

Du Yun looked at Zhao Xing, "You better have important matters."

"I just returned from Beiluo and accidentally discovered an unguarded void passageway, allowing free access to Moonfall Cemetery without the constraint of the Star Sky Array," Zhao Xing said.

"Oh?" Du Yun was a bit surprised, knowing Zhao Xing had been venturing in Nanluo but returned from Beiluo, giving credibility to his claim.

"I wish to report the star coordinates of this passage and the entry nodes along the river to the Pavilion Master," Zhao Xing offered.

"How many years did it take you to return?" Du Yun asked.

"Thirty-six years, and it could have been faster if not for the cautious approach," Zhao Xing replied.

Du Yun was surprised, not doubting Zhao Xing's honesty but amazed he was lucky enough to return unharmed from such tight blockades and to discover a void passageway.

Given the current situation, a stable entry and exit void passageway to Moonfall Cemetery is extremely valuable!

"What do you want?" Du Yun inquired.

There was no related 'passage exploration task' at present, but as Pavilion Master, Du Yun could readily issue one.

Zhao Xing did not name a price, instead handing over the star map to Du Yun while stating his needs, allowing both sides some leeway.

"Pavilion Master, I merely wish to exchange for a portion of official merits from the Ancient Country and guidance from a Preaching Scholar."

After brief contemplation, Du Yun agreed, "Official merits from the Ancient Country? What level are you thinking of?"

"Second-class Earl." Zhao Xing did not want all merit points since it could lose some value in exchange. However, he feared his hundred-plus years of gains in Nanluo might not suffice entirely in Cang Yu.

Currently a first-class Viscount, he needed quite a bit more to become a second-class Earl.

Du Yun nodded:

"Preaching Scholar, what level do you seek?"

"If from the Great Divine Power Realm, I can exchange a hundred times."

"If the Preaching Scholar is from the Tao Domain Realm, then only once, but this one chance will ensure you become Third Realm with one to three Small Divine Powers."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing was slightly surprised, not expecting to gain so many benefits.

"It seems the situation is more serious than I thought..."

The more serious the situation is, the more valuable his discovery!

Zhao Xing didn't feel at a loss from the exchange, knowing he couldn't personally control the passage and collect tolls; that was beyond him, and the sooner the news was sold, the better.

After consideration, Zhao Xing decided: "I choose to exchange for the guidance of a Preaching Scholar from the Tao Domain Realm."

Guidance from a Preaching Scholar of the Great Divine Power Realm might offer limited enlightenment.

It might push a Taoist Body to Third Realm, but the path of Spell and Martial Artist differ; when a Martial Artist's physique breaks into Third Realm, it naturally unlocks Divine Skills from the flesh. The path of Spell does not, requiring comprehension of spells.

Zhao Xing had seen Preaching Scholars from the Great Divine Power Realm before, such as Hong Qi.
