Not befriending Ye Luo could cost him his life, how could this Elder not be concerned?

"Young Master Ye, this is your Sumi Honor. You can bind and recognize it as your master right now!"

Ye Luo nodded, took the Sumi Honor which was shaped like a ring, and naturally wore it on his finger!

After all, the Great Tang Empire was a technologically advanced cultivation nation, so the process of recognizing ownership was automatic at this moment, with a miniature smart computer embedded in this Sumi Honor.

Meanwhile, the Elder was introducing it to Ye Luo in a low voice.

"Young Master Ye, this Sumi Honor was a collaborative effort by Formation Masters, Rune Masters, Artifact Refiners, and others commissioned by our commerce guild at a great cost. There are only five in the entire Great Tang Empire, and the one on your finger is the last one. It has a special name, Space Shuttle, because if its strength is utilized to the extreme, in theory, it can directly cross the void and even enter the minor worlds!"

What?

Ye Luo turned around suddenly!

This Sumi Honor actually possesses the ability to enter minor worlds?

Keep in mind, Ye Luo had always been searching for a way to return to Earth, and here he was, unexpectedly obtaining such a treasure under such coincidental circumstances!

Yes, for Ye Luo, the ability to enter minor worlds was already the best kind of treasure!

"You just mentioned that this Sumi Honor could take me into minor worlds, is that really true?"

"Yes, Young Master Ye, this Sumi Honor is a premium product specially launched by our commerce guild. It took a hundred years just to craft it, and among the Formation Masters we invited, there is a master specialized in long-distance Teleportation Formations. Therefore, this particular Sumi Honor might be slightly less powerful in combat and defensive power compared to the other four, but it does possess unique teleportation abilities."

"However, Young Master Ye, to activate the special ability to enter minor worlds, I fear you’ll need at least the strength of the Qi Cyclone Realm of the seventh level, and even then it’s not guaranteed to succeed. So unless you’re absolutely certain, it’s best not to attempt it rashly."

Regardless of the Qi Cyclone Realm being in the seventh or eighth level, or any other dangers that may exist, Ye Luo simply didn’t care. As long as this Sumi Honor truly had such ability, then Ye Luo was certain he could do it, he must do it, for it was the only method he had found that could potentially take him back to Earth.

"By the way, Young Master Ye, I almost forgot to inform you, the Sumi Honor is directly connected to our Yibao Commerce Guild’s internal auction access. If you need anything, you can trade there. Of course, you’ll need to configure an appropriate game pod to facilitate your entry into the virtual auction."

"Alright, I understand!"

Ye Luo’s lips curled into a smile, this Sumi Honor was of great use to him.

At this moment, Ye Luo had an intense longing for strength, because only by advancing to the seventh level of the Qi Cyclone Realm as soon as possible could he have the power to activate the special ability of the Sumi Honor!

Seeing Ye Luo smile put the Elder at ease, and with his talent for observing others, he keenly noticed that Ye Luo seemed extremely interested in entering minor worlds. So, he intentionally asked, "Does Young Master Ye wish to enter the minor worlds?"

Ye Luo frowned slightly; it seemed he had been too obvious. But of course, he was not worried, so he simply nodded in response.

"If that’s the case, perhaps Young Master Ye could consider joining the Royal Academy, because within the Royal Academy, there are ways to enter the minor worlds. As for other ordinary forces, I’m afraid they do not have this capability, and even if they did, they would certainly not disclose it. Interfering with minor worlds is explicitly forbidden by the Empire, aside from the minor worlds already possessed by various forces, only the Royal Family has the qualification to explore new minor worlds!"

Royal Academy?

Ye Luo silently noted the name, but had no particular thoughts about it. After all, just by hearing the name ’Royal Academy,’ one would know it’s a place for studying. Asking Ye Luo to study? How could that be possible?

Of course, if there really were no other options, Ye Luo might have no choice but to start with this Royal Academy.

"Alright, I know now."

Ye Luo nodded and then walked outside.

The Elder respectfully followed behind Ye Luo but did not leave.

When Ye Luo stepped out, the hall of Yibao Commerce Guild was clearly bustling with more people, and their conversations were all focused on Ye Luo. Many were speculating about the outcome of Ye Luo’s challenge.

After all, having passed two rounds, whether through luck or strength, it was an undeniable fact, so they were eager to find out whether Ye Luo had made it through the third trial.

At this moment, Nalan Chen was also very puzzled. The place where Ye Luo went to challenge did not allow outsiders, so all they could rely on was the live broadcast. However, since the broadcast was abruptly interrupted, they were completely cut off from any news.

Outside, Nalan Chen had also heard various rumors, but as Ye Luo had not shown up, he felt it inappropriate to make a scene. Now that he finally saw Ye Luo walking out, Nalan Chen quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"How did it go, kid? Did you succeed in the challenge?"

Ye Luo smiled slightly but simply shook his Sumeru Honor in front of Nalan Chen.

Nalan Chen immediately burst into laughter. Just now outside, Nalan Chen heard countless discussions; some said Ye Luo was just lucky, others speculated that Ye Luo might be a shill for Yibao Commerce Guild. In any case, Nalan Chen could distinctly taste the sour grapes in those people’s words!

Now, let them be envious. They don’t dare to admit it and can only resort to slander?

Of course, out of concern for the reputation of the Nalan Family, he had been enduring all this while, but now, seeing Ye Luo’s response, Nalan Chen immediately shouted loudly: "Haha, well done, Ye Luo. Worthy of being the person the young miss values. Truly impressive!"

At this moment, where does Nalan Chen resemble a composed and seasoned steward? His behavior was akin to someone who couldn’t wait to exalt Ye Luo to the heavens!

The Nalan Family? The one that deals with stones?

The surrounding crowd stirred with discussions again; unexpectedly, this Ye Luo was related to the Nalan Family.

The Elder, however, was slightly taken aback. He didn’t believe Ye Luo was a member of the Nalan Family, as he was well-acquainted with the Nalan Family. If Ye Luo truly were from the Nalan Family, why had he never heard about it before? And if Ye Luo were merely from the Nalan Family, it probably wouldn’t merit such significant attention from the guild leader!

Suddenly, the Elder thought of the young miss of the Nalan Family, his lips curving into a slight smile. Looking at Ye Luo’s departing figure, the Elder already had in mind a strategy for befriending Ye Luo.

In the Elder’s mind, he had recognized that Ye Luo’s association with the Nalan Family was because of the young miss, and hence he even considered leveraging a beauty trap!
