Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: Scheme

As he mentioned “Langya Cave Heaven,” Huangfu Yongchun’s gaze fell upon Wang Chen’s face.

The eyes of this seasoned Golden Core True Person held extremely complex emotions.

With a hint of caution and prudence.

However, to his disappointment, Wang Chen merely nodded indifferently, showing no sign of excitement or thrill.

That was a Cave Heaven, after all!

Huangfu Yongchun was astonished in his heart.

Was Wang Chen’s scheming too deep, or was he genuinely uninterested?

Both seemed unlikely!

His gaze flickered, and he continued discreetly, “True Person Wang, I would like to invite you to explore Langya Cave Heaven together!”

“Hmm?” Wang Chen finally showed a reaction, asking with curiosity, “True Person Huangfu, why do you say this?”

Huangfu Yongchun understood Wang Chen’s concerns and patiently explained, “Previously, I only explored the external mansion of Langya Cave Heaven, never entering its inner mansion.”

Wang Chen frowned slightly: “True Person Huangfu, I want to know, why are you seeking me out?”

A Cave Heaven and Blessed Land is a huge opportunity for any Golden Core True Person, a secret that should be closely guarded.

And yet Huangfu Yongchun simply told Wang Chen this, which was somewhat baffling!

Strictly speaking, Wang Chen and Huangfu Yongchun merely had a cooperative relationship.

Huangfu Yongchun gave a wry smile, “I can’t open Langya Cave Heaven alone; it requires two high-order Golden Core cultivators to jointly unlock the secret door. Last time, I went in with my senior brother…”

At this point, he revealed a bitter smile, “But my senior brother met with an accident and fell while decoding the inner mansion’s restrictions, so I’m asking for your help.”

Wang Chen pondered for a moment, then asked again, “Why me?”

Huangfu Yongchun had lived over a century and was a peak Golden Core cultivator with deep connections in Luodu Immortal City.

For instance, True Person Shen of the Qijue Club had a very good relationship with Huangfu Yongchun.

“Are you wondering why I didn’t approach True Person Shen and others?” he asked.

Huangfu Yongchun said, “The reason is quite simple, because their proficiency in Qijue Sword Technique is nowhere near yours, and mastering Qijue Sword Technique is crucial for unlocking the restrictions in Langya Cave Heaven’s inner mansion!”

“Furthermore…”

He smiled lightly and continued, “Although you are only at the seventh layer of Golden Core, in the Qijue Club, your strength and Daoist talent far surpass True Person Shen and the others!”

Whether it was Slaying the Flood Dragon or rescuing people, Wang Chen had demonstrated exceptional combat capabilities in several missions of the Qijue Club.

Huangfu Yongchun wasn’t blind; how could he not see this?

“Most importantly, I greatly admire your character,”

Huangfu Yongchun stated earnestly, “Accomplishing great deeds without arrogance, pursuing cultivation with indifference toward fame and fortune, I believe you are the best partner.”

“True Person Wang, we have pledged an oath of Heavenly Dao together, so you needn’t worry that I would set you up. If not for my senior brother’s unfortunate demise, I wouldn’t have revealed such an important secret to you.”

He gazed intensely at Wang Chen, his eyes brimming with earnestness!

Wang Chen thought for a moment and asked, “What would I gain from this?”

Huangfu Yongchun smiled and said, “Once we successfully open the inner mansion of Langya Cave Heaven, you can choose any three treasures, including Cultivation Techniques!”

“And if there are Spirit Stones, I’ll give you thirty percent!”

“To be frank, I’m just a step away from Breaking the Golden Core to Condense the Nascent Soul, and the Flood Dragon Core I obtained last time only compensated for the deficiencies in my Taoist Foundation, so I hope to find an opportunity in Langya’s inner mansion.”

The offer of three treasures plus thirty percent of the Spirit Stones made Huangfu Yongchun’s terms very generous.

Perhaps for him, there is nothing more important than advancing to a Nascent Soul.

Wang Chen even felt that it would be too much for him to haggle anymore.

He nodded and said: “Okay.”

“Very good.”

Huangfu Yongchun revealed a joyful smile and said: “Langya Cave Heaven only opens once every ten years, and the next opening will be in one year. I hope you can focus on cultivating the Leijue Sword Technique within this year to elevate the realm of this swordsmanship.”

As he spoke, he took out a flying sword enveloped in purple aura from the Sumeru Ring and handed it to Wang Chen: “This Purple Thunder Sword is an Extreme Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword, very compatible with the Leijue Sword Technique, I will lend it to you for use.”

This veteran Golden Core True Person sighed: “It’s not that I am reluctant to part with treasures, mainly because this sword was a relic left by my senior brother, and I intend to keep it for his descendants.”

Wang Chen initially wanted to refuse, as he currently lacked no flying swords.

But upon further thought, Wang Chen still accepted the Purple Thunder Sword.

As Huangfu Yongchun said, this flying sword was of extremely high quality, having reached the pinnacle tier of third order, and it was apparent from the long-term refinement by cultivators that it had also been very well-maintained.

Although it was only a loan, Huangfu Yongchun was indeed very generous.

Wang Chen put away the Purple Thunder Sword.

Huangfu Yongchun clapped his hands, reopened the private room door, and summoned the maidservants to serve immortal meals and Spiritual Wine.

The two drank and laughed heartily, deepening their relationship considerably.

After a satisfying meal, Wang Chen bid farewell and left.

But Huangfu Yongchun did not leave immediately; he had the maidservants clear away the remnants of the meal and brought a pot of Spiritual Tea instead.

After a moment, a black-robed cultivator with a stern expression arrived in the room.

After sitting down, the black-robed cultivator asked in a deep voice: “How did it go?”

“He agreed.”

Huangfu Yongchun sipped on the Spiritual Tea and sighed: “Honestly, I’ve never seen such talented youth wasted like this, it feels somewhat like a sacrilege!”

“Hah!”

The black-robed cultivator sneered: “Then find someone else?”

“It’s him.”

Huangfu Yongchun shook his head: “There is no more suitable Golden Core than him; even if there were, they are not within our plans to scheme against.”

As a young Golden Core like Wang Chen, usually they are the seeds nurtured by great sects and powerful forces, it is almost impossible for a Loose Cultivator to appear, so he is definitely an anomaly.

Huangfu Yongchun felt fortunate that he managed to discover Wang Chen ahead of others.

“Then get ready,” the black-robed cultivator said: “We only have one year. If this plan does not succeed, we must wait another ten years, and I can’t afford to wait anymore!”

“Don’t worry, big brother!”

Huangfu Yongchun declared solemnly, his eyes emitting a terrifying gleam: “This time, we will definitely unlock the true Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion and retrieve the relics of Many Treasures Taoist!”

“Don’t speak too soon.”

The black-robed cultivator glanced at him and said: “Don’t forget the lesson from last time, it almost destroyed my Divine Soul!”

“Not this time.”

Huangfu Yongchun flashed a sinister smile: “My Soul Capturing Array has been perfected, once he falls into the trap, there will be no chance for him to resist!”

The black-robed cultivator didn’t speak further, only his eyes growing darker and more inscrutable.

The atmosphere in the private room was oppressive and profound.
