Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 11: Chapter 10: Flame Wind Pavilion



Luo Feng was immersed in comprehension, and when he stopped, he found that the sky had already darkened, and Morosa was sitting there idly, bored to death.

"Master, are you awake?" Morosa showed a look of joy.

"While I was cultivating, you just sat here like a fool?" Luo Feng said. "Why didn't you go take a stroll around within Huyang City? I was only comprehending the laws, not turning into an idiot! If an outsider touched the formation of the cave mansion, I would have immediately interrupted my comprehension."

With an ingratiating tone, Morosa said, "Enjoying food and entertainment can be done at any time, but when master is cultivating, I must guard diligently, as it is the most important matter!"

"Haha, well said." Luo Feng stood up. "Alright, let's go out for a bit and sell that Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower."

"Master, which establishment are you planning to sell it to?" Morosa also stood up.

"Of course, the Flame Wind Pavilion." Luo Feng said, and right away the two of them had left the house.

Moments later, Luo Feng and Morosa were already looking at the distant and majestic Flame Wind Pavilion from afar. Among the countless buildings in Huyang City, the main building of the Flame Wind Pavilion was second in height only to the city owner's mansion.

"The safest place in the entire Huyang City is this Flame Wind Pavilion," Luo Feng said. "Even if Huyang City were to be destroyed, this Flame Wind Pavilion would remain unscathed."

"Oh?" Morosa was amazed, as his understanding of the Land of Origin came from Luo Feng.

"The Flame Wind Pavilion represents the Flame Wind Ancient Country," Luo Feng said. "Inside the Flame Wind Ancient Country, some powerful forces have come together to establish the Flame Wind Pavilion, and their business spans across most of the Land of Origin."

"Even in wars between Divine Kingdoms, they wouldn't dare to touch the Flame Wind Pavilion. Because to do so would be to disgrace the Flame Wind Ancient Country," Luo Feng laughed. "The consequences would be severe."

Morosa nodded in realization, "What a strong background."

"No matter the treasures, they can buy and they can sell!" Luo Feng said. "They are the safest trading partners!"

This Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower was enough to make some eternal true gods green with envy and go insane. To ensure a stable transaction, Luo Feng did not hesitate to choose trading with the Flame Wind Pavilion.

The Flame Wind Pavilion covered a vast area, with many buildings, and the main building particularly catered to guests from all directions.

Whoosh.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the main building, Luo Feng and Morosa were immediately met by an attendant who came forward to greet them: "Divine Monarch, please come inside." The attendant enthusiastically led them into a private hall.

"Divine Monarch, this is Chun Mi Wine from the Flame Wind Ancient Country, please have a taste." The attendant poured the wine, a cup of which would be worth several Primal Chaos Crystals in the Flame Wind Ancient Country and was simply not available for purchase in Huyang City.

"Chun Mi Wine?" Luo Feng picked up a cup, took a sip, and felt a light, refreshing taste spreading through his soul and consciousness.

"Let's talk business. I'm here to sell a Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower," Luo Feng said, turning his hand and placing a wooden box on the long table in front of him.

"Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower?" The attendant was somewhat surprised, despite being used to catering to eternal true gods, he was still a bit shocked. He immediately opened the wooden box and saw a seemingly ordinary Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower.

Hum~~~ Within the Flame Wind Pavilion, a formation activated, enveloping the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower in light, and instantly completing the appraisal.

"This Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower is fully mature, well harvested and preserved, and of superior quality. Based on the current market value, the Flame Wind Pavilion is willing to buy it for 120,000 Cosmic Sands," said the attendant. "How does that sound to the Divine Monarch?"

"Okay," Luo Feng readily nodded in agreement.

He was well aware of the Flame Wind Pavilion's rules, that for treasures valued below ten million Cosmic Sand, bargaining was generally not entertained. For various exotic treasures from heaven and earth, the Flame Wind Ancient Country's headquarters had clear pricing for different levels, and its branches had no authority to adjust them.

"Then this Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower belongs to my Flame Wind Pavilion," the attendant repositioned the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower and at the same time, a cyan jade vial appeared out of thin air on the table. The attendant handed the cyan jade vial to Luo Feng, "Divine Monarch, there are 120,000 Cosmic Sand inside. Please verify."

Luo Feng took the vial and with a brief sensation confirmed it was correct.

"The transaction is settled," the attendant said with a smile, "Divine Monarch, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"I also need to purchase some Artifact Refining Materials. Here's the material list," Luo Feng said, handing over a prepared list to the other party, "The total cost for the materials is 100,000 Cosmic Sand!"

The majority of the Cosmic Sand earned from selling the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower would be spent.

"100,000 Cosmic Sand to buy all these materials?" the attendant was astonished, "Most of these materials are fairly common. If we go by the list, that would be a very large quantity. We might need to move entire mountains for some materials. Are you sure you want to spend all 100,000 Cosmic Sand on these?"

"Can the Flame Wind Pavilion gather them all?" Luo Feng asked.

The attendant confidently smiled, "No need to worry about that, even if it's a hundred times or a thousand times more, the Flame Wind Pavilion can summon them from other places! As for your needs, we have ample stock in our storerooms. It will be delivered in the time it takes to drink a cup of wine."

"Good, then please arrange it quickly," Luo Feng nodded, "Besides purchasing these materials, I would also like to apply to join the Flame Wind Pavilion's 'Dark Hall'."

The attendant smiled slightly, "Once you join the Dark Hall of our Flame Wind Pavilion, you can actively post tasks, accept tasks, and purchase intelligence. As an eternal true god, you can join the Dark Hall without review or fees."

As an organization that spans most of the Land of Origin.

Of course, Flame Wind Pavilion engages in the business of intelligence, as well as offering bounties for tasks. These kinds of businesses are all undertaken in the name of the 'Dark Hall'. The more clients the Dark Hall has, the better, so the threshold to enter is very low.

One can join the Dark Hall with sufficient strength or wealth.

"Divine Monarch will need a code name within the Dark Hall," the attendant said.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Feng replied, "Call me Bladesman."

"Alright, your application has been successful." The attendant flipped his hand and passed a transmission token to Luo Feng, "This is the Dark Hall's Transmission Order. With it, you can contact the Dark Hall within large cities. Whether it's purchasing intelligence, posting or accepting tasks, everything can be done through this transmission token.

If the transmission token is lost or damaged, you can also have it reissued at the Flame Wind Pavilion."

Luo Feng took the Dark Hall's Transmission Order, which was fixed to contact only the Dark Hall.

"A set of basic intelligence on the various countries of the Land of Origin," Luo Feng decided to try purchasing intelligence first.

"Divine Monarch, as you've just joined the Dark Hall and being an eternal true god, you have a sum of 1,000 Cosmic Sand available on credit, which must be repaid within one era; otherwise, the penalty will be ten times the outstanding amount," the attendant reminded.

"The intelligence I'm purchasing costs 10 Cosmic Sand; I'll pay you first," Luo Feng paid straight away.

At the same time, he was reviewing the piece of intelligence just sent through the 'Dark Hall's Transmission Order'. It was a basic report on the countries of the Land of Origin, including maps, cities, and other fundamental information.

Naturally, Luo Feng was most interested in the intelligence about the Shi Kingdom.

"...Shi Kingdom, a total of five Masters..." This information was rightfully basic intelligence, merely stating 'a total of five Masters' regarding the Shi Kingdom's Masters. As for the Godly King level beings, what powers they had, what Secret Treasures they possessed, there was not a single record.

Luo Feng's expression changed slightly.

"The Shi Kingdom has five masters now? When Master Mountain sitting guest fled to the Universe Ocean, there were only three masters in the Shi Kingdom," Luo Feng thought, "The Yu Kingdom hasn't changed much, still with five Godly Kings."

"During the time Master fled, the Shi Kingdom has grown stronger."

Luo Feng accepted this quite naturally.

Mountain sitting guest had fled the Land of Origin, and in the Primordial Cosmos, he had gone through an entire Reincarnation Era, even nurturing an outstanding individual like Luo Feng. With the aggressive nature of the Shi Kingdom, it was natural for changes to occur over such a long period.

Three masters? Five masters?

For Luo Feng, who was still just an eternal true god, there wasn't much of a difference. He wasn't at the Godly King Level, so he couldn't get involved at all!

"The Dark Hall still has a large number of bounties, Divine Monarchs can take a look as well," said the attendant.

Luo Feng nodded.

He effortlessly saw numerous bounty tasks, including protection duties, hiring tasks, assassination tasks, and so on.

"There's a bounty to kill the highest commander of the Huyang Legion, 'Moli Xiao'?" Luo Feng was surprised to see this task.

The highest commander of Huyang's Ten Great Legions was one of the most powerful rulers in the entire Huyang City. Even the City Lord's power might not necessarily surpass that of this highest commander! Yet, there was a bounty in the Flame Wind Association's Dark Hall.

"As long as there's a client brave enough to issue a task, our Flame Wind Pavilion will dare to place a bounty," the attendant said with a smile, "Even if it's a Godly King, our Flame Wind Pavilion will post a bounty just the same."

"The Flame Wind Pavilion indeed has such strength," Luo Feng nodded.

"Huh."

Suddenly, a black Jade Vial appeared out of nowhere, which the attendant handed to Luo Feng: "Divine Monarch, all the Artifact Refining materials you requested are here, please inspect them."

After Luo Feng took it, he saw a massive pile of materials heaped like a mountain; with a single thought, he checked everything thoroughly.

"There's nothing missing, only extra," Luo Feng was very satisfied.

"With some common materials, we only add more," said the attendant.

Luo Feng nodded, then got up and instructed Morosa, "Let's go."

The attendant personally saw Luo Feng out.

...

Inside one of the small buildings of the Flame Wind Pavilion.

A figure made of grey fog was leisurely browsing through one piece of information after another when suddenly a burly man walked in.

"Pavilion master," the eyes of the figure of grey fog, which were made of mist, looked towards the burly figure, "As the pavilion master, you leave all matters of the Flame Wind Pavilion to me, an old fellow, to handle entirely by myself."

"Second Uncle, I've troubled you," the burly man immediately said with a smile.

"What I regret most now is agreeing to the ancestor, always following and protecting you. Who would've thought that after leaving the Flame Wind Ancient Country, you'd wander for over a thousand eras, and still not return!" said the figure of grey fog, "When do you plan on returning to the clan? I'm starting to miss home."

"I plan to break through to the Primal Chaos Realm before going back," said the burly man.

"You, as part of Emperor Chu's Lineage and with noble blood, haven't cultivated the Bloodline Cultivation Method but pursued understanding of the laws; I knew of your ambition then," the figure of grey fog remarked, "You initially became a True God with 'unlimited godly bodies' without relying on bloodline, and every step you take will be difficult.

Actually, our clan's elders usually cultivate their bloodlines first, and only when they hit a bottleneck do they turn to understand the laws!"

The burly man shook his head, a hint of disdain in his eyes: "After taking the straightforward path for countless years and then turning to the difficult road, how many can succeed? They're all mediocre!"

The figure of grey fog nodded in approval: "If you continue along the path of the laws and become a Primal Chaos Overlord, after you return, the clan will certainly train you with all their resources."

Because every Godly King on the Land of Origin had broken through by understanding the laws.

"Becoming a Primal Chaos Overlord is very difficult," the burly figure nodded, "The Primal Chaos Laws are much too arcane."

He was born on the Land of Origin, so from a young age, he had a crystal-clear sense of various laws! Therefore, he felt that the farther he went, the more difficult it became.

Luo Feng was different.

In the era of the Primordial Cosmos, sensing the laws was extremely vague. So when he arrived at the Land of Origin, Luo Feng was overjoyed! He found the understanding of the Primal Chaos Laws to be rapidly improving.

"Hmm?" The figure of grey fog saw a new piece of information that had just appeared before him, glanced at it, and then told the burly figure beside him, "Pavilion master, a new eternal true god has come to Huyang City and has also become a client of our Dark Hall, with the code name 'Bladesman'."

"Oh, I see," the burly figure nodded.

Both of them didn't pay much attention, as descendants of Emperor Chu's Lineage from the Flame Wind Ancient Country, they were entitled to overlook most eternal true gods in Huyang City.

Luo Feng and Morosa returned to the Cave mansion.

"I will go into reclusive training for some time, you are free to do as you please," Luo Feng instructed, "Remember, don't cause any trouble for me."

"Don't worry, Master!" Morosa immediately responded enthusiastically.

Only then did Luo Feng turn and enter the underground grand hall of the Cave mansion. As soon as he entered, the multi-layered mechanisms of the grand hall shut down, and formations were sealed off.

This underground grand hall was specifically used for cultivation in solitude, but Luo Feng still found it too small. With a wave of his hand, he brought out the Star Tower.

Whoosh.

Luo Feng entered the Star Tower. The Star Tower itself contained vast space, allowing Luo Feng to cultivate to his heart's content without worrying about damaging a single thing.

"Begin to cultivate the 'Primal Chaos Great Strength Diagram,'" Luo Feng sat cross-legged and began his first secluded training on the Land of Origin.
