Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 529 - 343: Gaining Fame and Sparring
Chen Ku and the Seven Sons of Yan Capital... now only six sons left, arrived at Cloud Sea Pavilion, where Helan Qing mentioned he would host a feast for them.
Looking at the tall wooden structure before them, rising from the ground, nearly thirty-something floors high, for a moment he was in a trance, almost feeling like he returned to modern times.
Indeed, this Cloud Sea Pavilion is a thirty-story tall building, resembling the famous ’Yellow Crane Tower’, filled with various sounds, including clinking glasses, playing games, and even poetry recitals.
A glance away, it was as if a scene from a prosperous painting.
It seemed as though the invasion by Yuan Country, which had already occupied a third of Dragon Abyss Nine Provinces, existed only in a dream, as if it never happened.
"This building was crafted from a blueprint by skilled craftsmen from Tiangong Pavilion, taking three years to complete, with a total of thirty-six floors. It’s not commonly seen even in the other twelve provinces," Xiao Tianzuo said. "When I first came to Yan Capital, I was somewhat amazed by its height."
"I’ve reserved the top floor, where the view is excellent. If it’s early morning, you might even see clouds forming a sea, flowing into Yan Capital City. Although it’s already afternoon today, you can still gaze afar at the beautiful setting sun," Helan Qing gestured invitingly.
Just as Chen Ku thought they might need to climb stairs, unexpectedly, several large white cranes were brought out for them to stand on, riding the cranes directly to the top floor.
Chen Ku was once again slightly impressed by the thoughtful arrangement of Cloud Sea Pavilion; those white cranes were evidently well-trained ’demon birds’, used by this restaurant as a transport means, allowing guests to enjoy the fun of riding a crane up to the Cloud Sea Pavilion.
Upon reaching the thirty-sixth floor, inside the pavilion with a dozen or so square yards, thirty-two screen windows were opened, providing views in all directions, especially to the southwest, where you could see a fog-covered large river outside Yan Capital City, flowing like ink through a watercolor painting.
"That must be the ’Smoke Wave River’ outside Yan Capital City," Chen Ku remarked, looking at the grand river.
"Indeed, that is the Smoke Wave River, which can rank alongside the ’Dragon River’ of your Qiu Dragon Mansion, one of the ’Nine Great Rivers’ of my Daji," Duan Qingxuan softly recited two lines: "Smoke Wave River’s shore, fishing households, lights dim in the distance..."
Chen Ku admired the scenery, listening to Duan Qingxuan’s verses, feeling a certain charm.
Not long after, the huge table was filled with various treasured delicacies, many of the meats and dishes that were unheard of in Qiu Dragon Mansion.
The Seven Sons of Yan Capital evidently had visited this place numerous times before, introducing various dishes to Chen Ku: "This is the Flying Dragon Soup... that is Earth Sea Coral Eight Treasure Dumplings..."
All are expertly cooked demon meat meals, both rare and delicious.
Chen Ku, known for his love of gourmet food, ate with satisfaction both on his palate and stomach.
After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes,
Helan Qing proactively asked Chen Ku, "Brother Chen, big brother mentioned you have something, and you need my assistance. Now that we’ve chatted openly, please feel free to command."
Already aware that Chen Ku is a super genius within the Six Great Limit Domain, with great prospects to enter the ’Heroic List’, he spared no admiration and respect.
Chen Ku glanced at Xiao Tianzuo, and without reserve or modesty, said, "It’s this matter, I am cultivating a technique, which requires Thunder Spiritual Item to aid my practice. Brother Xiao mentioned Helan you might be able to assist me in finding it. If you could help locate it or provide any related information, I am willing to offer corresponding compensation."
"Compensation is another matter."
Helan Qing lowered his head in thought:
"Brother Chen’s request is understood, Thunder Spiritual Item, this thing is indeed not easy to find, as thunder is the fierce and intense energy of heaven and earth, transforming into lightning, often disappearing suddenly between the heavens and earth, let alone forming from the essence of thunder into Thunder Spiritual Items..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Chen Ku sighed, "Brother Xiao also said so, I too know the difficulty of finding such a thing."
The cultivation of the Huntian Overlord Body becomes increasingly difficult in the later stages, not only due to physical limits but also resource requirements, Thunder Spiritual Items are rare and elusive in the world.
Even his master Shan Lingguan, cultivated ’Five Thunders Decision’, rumored to have traveled for more than a decade in a small country with ’Divine Soul Cultivation’ as its primary system, continuously absorbing the ’Thunder Clouds’ produced by that country for over a decade before achieving the Seventh Layer Cultivation Body.
"Brother Chen, rest assured, leave this matter to me, my Treasure Pavilion not only has various treasures but also numerous sources and connections for information. Once I return, I’ll have people help inquire."
Helan Qing said:
"As for Thunder Spiritual Item, I estimate it indeed hard to find, but, alternatively, finding a ’Thunder Spirit Land’ has some possibilities."
Chen Ku stood up and raised his glass, "Then I’ll rely on you, Brother Helan."
Helan Qing promptly stood up, "Brother Chen, you’re too courteous."
Their glasses clinked together, each draining their glass of wine.
Xiao Tianzuo saw Helan Qing had agreed to Chen Ku’s matter, and said, "Brother Chen, there are ten days until Divine Martial Hall officially begins admissions. You probably haven’t found a place to stay in Yan Capital these days, if you don’t mind, I have a courtyard in the city which you can temporarily stay in."
"This, I’m embarrassed," Chen Ku smiled, "It’s just ten days, staying at an inn will suffice."
