Chapter 717 Eye of the Storm

20 million spiritual stones...

Deposit for the next ten years...

With so many ready-made spiritual stones piled together, everyone couldn't help but stare at them.

If Lu Yu hadn't had the experience of selling the Yuanji Jindan with Yang Chudie in Shengyun Mountain, even he had never seen so much money.

20 million spiritual stones, this is equivalent to the price of the Butterfly Double Flying Auction!

But now Lin Zhengtie used this as a deposit for the next ten years. It has to be said that this way of doing business is simply incredible. It doesn't look like doing business at all. It's obvious that he is just giving money away...

Have people become so arrogant now? They give away a mysterious spiritual artifact at any time?

Lu Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said, "Master Lin, you are not doing business, you are clearly giving benefits to our Yudie Peak... If it is just for this matter, I am afraid there is no need to look for our traces so urgently, right?"

Lin Zhengtie laughed: "Young Master is indeed a discerning man. Our Mingjian Villa is indeed in urgent need and needs your help, but we also sincerely want to make this business with you. Why don't you accept this deposit first!"

Lu Yu smiled faintly: "Master Lin, if you don't make things clear first, I dare not accept this money!"

Lin Zhengtie sighed and shook his head: "Young Master is really too worried..."

"To put it bluntly, the reason why Lin Mou took out so much money at once is because he is optimistic about the potential of Young Master and Deacon Yang. When we met in Shengyun Mountain, Young Master was only at the True Yuan Realm Seventh level of cultivation, while Deacon Yang is only at the eighth level of Return to the Sea Realm..."

"But now, not only has the young master broken through to the Return to the Sea Realm, but Deacon Yang has even reached the Half-Step True Person. If you have more time, your achievements will be immeasurable. Even stepping onto the path to heaven and breaking the void may not be impossible. Therefore, we at Mingjian Villa naturally hope to establish a long-term friendship with such talented people..."

"Secondly, this is also forced by the situation. Young Master should also understand that Mingjian Villa and Yuhai Xianzong have always been at odds with each other. Therefore, seeing your sect and Yuhai Xianzong fall out, it can be said that Mingjian Villa is the most exciting place in the entire cultivation world. Young Master can regard this as an investment of Mingjian Villa in the future..."

"Even the urgent need of Mingjian Villa at this time is related to this..."

Lin Zhengtie's words were sincere.

Lu Yu was surprised and asked, "What's the matter? Is Mingjian Villa threatened by Yuhai Xianzong?"

"Although it's not a direct threat, it's almost the same..."

Lin Zhengtie sighed and continued:

"There are many factions in Mingjian City. Although the competition is fierce, it is an excellent place for all forces to obtain rich resources and flourish without the intervention of the eight major sects..."

"Originally, our Mingjian Villa, after years of operation, has cultivated seven great swordsmen, and can barely be ranked among the top ten in Mingjian City. However, in the past year, many factions have secretly received support from Yuhai Xianzong and have continuously attacked us, so that the seven swordsmen we have painstakingly cultivated have suffered serious blows and suffered heavy losses..."

"Until last month, the last of the seven great swordsmen also died in this city. , so I had to rush to Mingjian City to take charge in person, but even if I can hold on for a while, it will be difficult to last, especially since the triennial sword test competition is being held in Mingjian City. If we cannot send swordsmen to win a place in this competition, then our Mingjian Villa may be expelled from Mingjian City from now on..."

"So, Lin is willing to ask you to participate in this sword test competition in the name of our Mingjian Villa to keep the last eye of the storm for our Mingjian Villa. Among the people I know, only you have the ability to do this!"

"If this is accomplished, you will be a great help to our Mingjian Villa. We are willing to form an alliance with Yudie Peak forever and help each other from now on! As long as you have an order, we will do our best!"

After saying this, Lin Zhengtie looked at Lu Yu eagerly.

Lu Yu frowned slightly and said nothing.

He had heard of the name of the Sword Trial Competition. This was a unique event in Mingjian City, held every three years. The various forces in the city decided the allocation of resources through such events.

He was not very clear about the eye of the wind. He thought it should be a certain resource that only the forces that won the sword trial competition could have...

He turned his head and looked at Yang Chudie.

Yang Chudie pondered and said, "The eye of the wind, could it be the wind and fire furnace that your manor specially used to engrave inscriptions?"

Lin Zhengtie nodded and said, "That's right. The geographical location of Mingjian City is special. Unlike other places, there is a Yinxun wind blowing from the Nine Netherworld for many years. This wind is even weird and contains the mysteries of heaven and earth..."

"Our Mingjian Villa has set up a wind and fire furnace in a wind eye in the city, which is specially used to engrave inscriptions for cast weapons..."

"Including the Qingluan Sword that you two bought before, it was finally successfully refined after being tempered in this wind and fire furnace. It can be said that this wind and fire furnace is the foundation of our Mingjian Villa. If there is no such furnace, I am afraid that the quality of the weapons produced by our Mingjian Villa will be greatly reduced immediately..."

"There are ten wind eye positions like this in Mingjian City. Only by winning the sword test competition and getting the top ten results can you occupy a place in these ten wind eyes..."
