Chapter 1466: Chapter 1462: Young Girl Blocking the Way Chapter 1466: Chapter 1462: Young Girl Blocking the Way Shen Luo parted ways with Lu Huaming and, rather than returning to his residence, he headed to the West Market to purchase some auxiliary Spiritual Materials for refining the Dragon-burying Flute for the Fire Spirit Child.

These materials were not particularly precious, and he managed to acquire all of them after visiting a few shops.

“Good, with these materials, I can quickly refine the Dragon-burying Flute,” said the Fire Spirit Child.

“Fire Spirit Child, Daoist friend, before you start refining the Dragon-burying Flute, I need to use the Netherworld Furnace to refine two Pure Yang Swords,” Shen Luo suddenly spoke.

The tense emotions displayed by Yuan Tiangang and Lu Huaming earlier had made him uneasy, and he was eager to enhance his strength.

At present, the Black Bear Demon had not yet delivered the Fire Lotus Pill. The fastest way to increase his strength was to refine the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood into Pure Yang Swords.

“That's possible. Your Pure Yang Swords can merge with Spirit Fire, which is quite unique. I'm keen to see it myself,” said the Fire Spirit Child.

Shen Luo gave a faint smile and didn't refuse. The Fire Spirit Child was a Master Weapon Refiner; perhaps after watching, he could offer some valuable suggestions to further increase the power of the Pure Yang Swords.

He soon left the West Market, about to return to his residence when a charming young girl in yellow clothes suddenly blocked his path.

“Could you be Elder Shen? My mistress has invited you to the tea house over there for a chat. Please, could Elder grace us with your presence?” The Yellow-Clothed Young Girl bowed and said.

Although the girl's cultivation level was only at the Soul Condensation Stage, she conducted herself with composure and ease in front of Shen Luo, clearly not an ordinary freelance cultivator.

“Do you know me? Who is your mistress?” Shen Luo glanced at the young girl.

“My mistress's surname is Tu, and she has had the fortune of meeting Elder Shen before. She wishes to discuss a business involving Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood with Elder,” the Yellow-Clothed Young Girl leaned in and spoke to Shen Luo.

Hearing this, Shen Luo narrowed his eyes, sizing up the young girl before him.

Although he did not project an intimidating presence, the pressure in his gaze alone turned the Yellow-Clothed Young Girl's face pale, and she began to tremble.

“Lead the way,” he soon shifted his gaze away and spoke indifferently.

“Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Elder. Please, follow me.” The Yellow-Clothed Young Girl's body relaxed slightly, and her complexion quickly returned to normal. She moved with light steps, leading the way to a quiet three-story tea house.

In the aftermath of the disaster that struck Chang'an City, there were no customers drinking tea here. The Yellow-Clothed Young Girl led Shen Luo straight up to a refined private room on the second floor.

A graceful figure sat inside, dressed in white clothing–it was a stunning young girl, with delicate eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a slender nose, and cherry lips, appearing as if she were a character stepped out of a painting.

“Hehe, Brother Shen, here we are meeting again,” said the stunning girl, standing up with a charming smile upon seeing Shen Luo entering.

The Yellow-Clothed Young Girl closed the room door and stood guard outside.

Shen Luo gave the stunning girl a glance, showing little surprise.

This girl was the White-clad woman, Tu Xue, who had previously stopped him on the street to conduct business. Once the Yellow-Clothed Young Girl mentioned her mistress's surname was Tu, he deduced it was her.

“Does Miss Tu wish to discuss business regarding the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood with me?” Shen Luo sat down opposite Tu Xue, getting straight to the point.

“Little girl has heard that Brother Shen requires a batch of Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood. By chance, there are several pieces in my possession, thus I brazenly invited Daoist friend here for a discussion. Please forgive the imposition,” Tu Xue's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly surprised by Shen Luo's directness, but quickly regained her composure, and said with a smile.

“Where did Miss Tu learn that I needed the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood?” Shen Luo's gaze sharpened as he probed.

“In our line of business, the most important thing is to have well-informed sources. Although I am new to Chang'an City, I have some channels of information,” Tu Xue responded with a smile, deftly avoiding Shen Luo's line of questioning.

“I indeed require the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood. May I know how much Miss Tu has and how many Immortal Jade she plans to sell it for?” Seeing that his probing was futile, Shen Luo didn't press further.

No matter what Tu Xue's intentions were, the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood was a necessity for him, and he could not afford to let it go under any circumstances.

Without a word, Tu Xue waved her sleeve over the table, and five pieces of Spirit Wood, glowing with fiery red radiance, appeared. All were Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood, and the powerful aura of Pure Yang instantly filled the room.

Shen Luo's breathing halted momentarily; so much Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood was enough for him to refine ten more Pure Yang Swords.

“These pieces of Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood all meet my requirements. I will take them all. How much Immortal Jade does Miss Tu want in exchange? Or did something of mine catch your eye?” he quickly regained his composure and asked.

“Brother Shen is indeed right. I do want to exchange these pieces of Fire Qilin Wood for something from your possession,” Tu Xue said with a hint of astonishment in her eyes as she spoke candidly.

“What exactly does Miss Tu wish to exchange for? Please speak frankly,” Shen Luo replied, calm and composed.

With a wave of her delicate hand, Tu Xue brought forth a white light curtain in the void, upon which was depicted a square piece of White Jade that radiated a gleaming white light.

Shen Luo let out a small gasp of surprise. This piece of White Jade was exactly the one he had obtained from Fu Gong's Storage Magical Tool, which had an image of a White Fox echoing within it.

However, how did Tu Xue know he had this item? He had not mentioned it to anyone except the Fire Spirit Child since acquiring it.

Could it be that Tu Xue knew Fu Gong, was aware of his possession of this item, and after learning of Fu Gong's death at his hands, she came to claim it? Or was there another explanation?

“I do have this item, but how do you know about it?” Shen Luo's thoughts raced as he asked without betraying any emotion on his face.

“This object is an important treasure of the Tu family. Unfortunately, it was lost many years ago. This jade resonates with the bloodline power of our clan. A few days ago, I encountered Brother Shen in the street and sensed you were carrying this jade,” Tu Xue said hesitantly.

A spark of cyan light flashed in Shen Luo's eyes. He had already silently activated the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld, and from the changes in Tu Xue's expression, it was clear that she was not lying.

“This object is very important to me. Please part with it, Brother Shen. If these pieces of Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood are not sufficient, I am willing to offer other treasures as compensation,” Tu Xue said as she stood up and gave a bow.

“No need for compensation. These pieces of Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood are more than enough,” Shen Luo said with a smile, taking out the White Jade Stone and placing it on the table.

He was not one to take advantage of others. The reason he had spoken with Tu Xue for so long was mainly to understand the origins of the White Jade Stone, to avoid any retaliation from Fu Gong and his forces. Now that it was clear that the jade had little to do with Fu Gong, he was no longer interested in delving deeper.

“Thank you, Brother Shen,” Tu Xue took the White Jade Stone.

Suddenly, a bright white light shone from the White Jade Stone, revealing the figure of a Nine-Tailed Fox within it and a unique fluctuation spread out from it.

Tu Xue's expression shifted slightly, and her body also emitted a brilliant white light, which suppressed the white light and fox figure from the jade.

With her hands moving as if turning the wheels of a car, numerous ash-white runes appeared around the jade, forming concentric rings of ash-white light around the White Jade Stone.

These rings of light swiftly contracted and finally sank into the jade, merging with it.

All the white light from the jade stone was reabsorbed, restoring it to its previous state.
