The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1107

Chapter 1107: Chapter 1104: Borrowing for Use Chapter 1107: Chapter 1104: Borrowing for Use Shen Luo furrowed his brows upon hearing this but soon relaxed them and said, “Since Senior Zhen Yuan is not here, I will wait for him for a period of time.”

“Please, Brother Shen, rest assured and settle down here. The moment Master returns to Wuzhuang View, I will immediately notify you,” Ming Yue said.

“Then, thank you, Daoist Ming Yue,” Shen Luo thanked.

Ming Yue did not stay for long. After briefly chatting with Shen Luo, she soon bid farewell and left. Shen Luo then took out two packets of Fog Mountain Spirit Tea and insisted on giving them to her.

Ming Yue, unable to decline and also genuinely fond of the Spirit Tea, accepted them.

After seeing off Ming Yue, Shen Luo set up several layers of prohibitions around the Tower and then sat down to meditate in the main hall.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and made a gesture towards the Outside.

The prohibition light curtains outside split apart to both sides, forming a passageway. A figure walked in slowly; it was the black-robed man.

“You've arrived. The things are here; what about yours?” Shen Luo didn't mince words and took out the Nightmare Dragon Horn, placing it on the table next to him.

The black-robed man, likewise, did not say much. With a flick of his sleeve, he placed two items on the table: a blue jade bottle and a wooden box.

Around the jade bottle, rich Water Spirit Qi surged, identical to the One-yuan True Water bottle that Bai Xi had previously presented.

The wooden box also slowly opened, revealing an Immortal Fruit with both gold and aqua hues–the Wind and Thunder Immortal Date.

Shen Luo looked at the Jade Bottle and the Wind and Thunder Immortal Date, his eyes lighting up slightly.

The initial conditions set by the black-robed man were one Jade Bottle of One-yuan True Water plus half a Wind and Thunder Immortal Date. The Wind and Thunder Immortal Date, being one of the Nine Heavens Divine Fruits, even if it were only half, its bodily cultivation effects were far superior compared to the Ten Thousand Spirits Golden Marrow Fluid.

“Good, divide the Immortal Fruit in two. You can take the Nightmare Dragon Horn,” Shen Luo said, somewhat impatiently.

“Hold on, the Nightmare Dragon Horns are twins. I assume the other one is in Your Excellency's possession since you did not reveal it at the Trading Conference,” the black-robed man said.

“Indeed, the other one is in my possession,” Shen Luo admitted with a slight lift of his eyebrows and nodded.

“Brother Shen brought out the Dragon Horn for trading, indicating it's of little importance to you. I wonder if the other Dragon Horn could also be sold to me?” the black-robed man asked eagerly, his voice filled with anticipation.

“You want the other Nightmare Dragon Horn? Indeed, it is of little significance to me. However, I have no urgent need for anything at the moment and have no plans to sell the Nightmare Dragon Horn,” Shen Luo replied, his eyes shifting before he shook his head.

Considering how precious Nightmare Dragon Horns are, he naturally intended to keep them, as they might prove extremely useful in the future.

“How about I exchange with you the other half of the Wind and Thunder Immortal Date and these Red Lotus Karmic Fires?” The black-robed man took out a white round bead, within which was a space with surging red flames–clearly, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and there was a substantial quantity.

Shen Luo showed a look of pleasant surprise, but then his gaze suddenly narrowed as he looked at the black-robed man, “How do you know I need this Red Lotus Karmic Fire?”

Could it be that the black-robed man recognized him? Although he had used the Pure Yang Sword Embryo during the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference, he had never activated the Red Lotus Karmic Fire within it.

“Although Daoist Brother Shen is highly skilled and adept at concealing his Qi, I am, after all, a True Immortal cultivator, and quite proficient in searching techniques. I can barely discern the faint breath of your life-bound Magical Treasure,” the black-robed man said with a smile.

Shen Luo was both skeptical and curious but did not delve further into the matter, his gaze fixed on the white round bead.

The amount of Red Lotus Karmic Fire stored within the bead was considerable. If he could integrate it into the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, the power of the Sword Embryo would surely increase significantly.

As for the Nightmare Dragon Horn, it was of little use to him if he kept it.

“Given that Daoist friend is so sincere, it would be rather unkind of me to refuse again,” Shen Luo murmured after pondering for a moment. He nodded and took out the other Nightmare Dragon Horn.

“`

“Thank you, Brother Shen, for granting my wish!” the black-robed man exclaimed in delight, excitedly taking the Nightmare Dragon Horns.

Shen Luo's eyebrows raised slightly; it seemed these Nightmare Dragon Horns were indeed very important to this person.

After the trade, the black-robed man immediately bid farewell and left.

Shen Luo, not being familiar with this person, did not insist on his staying and got up to see him off.

Watching the figure of the black-robed man disappear into the distance, he was about to head back inside his residence.

“Brother Shen,” Ao Hong appeared and walked over from the side; unbeknownst to Shen Luo, he had been outside his house.

Ao Hong had also chosen to stay and was living in another tower close to Shen Luo.

“Brother Ao, it's quite late, haven't you rested yet?” Shen Luo was slightly surprised.

“I've got something on my mind and can't sleep, so I came to chat with you. I hope Brother Shen doesn't mind,” Ao Hong said.

“Not at all, please come in,” Shen Luo said with a smile, welcoming him into the house.

“Eh! One-yuan True Water, Wind and Thunder Immortal Dates, could this bead contain Red Lotus Karmic Fire? That black-robed man traded so many treasures for those Nightmare Dragon Horns, no wonder you agreed instantly at the trade conference today,” Ao Hong remarked with a smile as his gaze swept across the table.

The black-robed man had left immediately after the trade, and Shen Luo, who had seen him out, had not yet had the chance to put away several treasures on the table.

“Thanks to Brother Ao for gifting me the pair of Nightmare Dragon Horns. If Brother Ao fancies any of these items, feel free to take them,” Shen Luo said.

“As I said before, I wanted to trade those horns for a promise from you, Brother Shen. Since those horns now belong to you, these things naturally have nothing to do with me,” Ao Hong said earnestly.

Seeing this, Shen Luo did not say anything further and put away the items.

The two chatted idly for a while, mostly about inconsequential things. Ao Hong seemed several times on the verge of saying something important, but each time he held back.

“Brother Ao, if you've come tonight to discuss something with me, there's no need to hesitate. Please speak freely,” Shen Luo said with a gentle smile, addressing the matter directly.

“Brother Shen is right. There is indeed a matter I wish to ask of you,” Ao Hong said with a rueful smile and pause.

“Please, speak your mind,” Shen Luo nodded.

“I've heard that you possess a Treasure Pearl capable of curing all poisons and an ancient treasure, the Slayer's Broken Sword; I would like to borrow them for a time, as recompense for the Dragon Horns I gifted you,” Ao Hong said with a bow.

“I do indeed have the Slayer's Broken Sword and a bead adept at neutralizing poisons, but how did you come to know of this? I haven't mentioned it to anyone,” Shen Luo asked, taken aback.

While having the Slayer's Broken Sword was one thing, the fact that he possessed the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead was a secret known only to Bai Xiaotian and Yuan Zhen, aside from himself.

“I heard it from Daoist friend Yuan Zhen. A few years ago, I met him while hunting a demon in the Eastern Sea,” Ao Hong explained.

“So it was Yuan Zhen,” Shen Luo muttered under his breath.

He had been worried about whether Yuan Zhen, who had been staying in the Heavenly Book Space, was still alive after it disappeared. It seemed Yuan Zhen was not just alive but also freely sharing his secrets.

“The two treasures are in my possession, and lending them to you for a time is a trivial matter. Are you saying that will settle the debt for the Nightmare Dragon Horns?” Shen Luo asked, collecting his thoughts.

“While these two items may seem trivial to you, Brother Shen, to me they are incredibly important,” Ao Hong stated gravely.
