NOVEL NEXT Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Dragon God’s Heart, Gu Yuena’s Disdain
"Please."
After Lu Yunzhou spoke, he casually seated himself in a chair.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena realized that she had to show him some respect, so she sat opposite him.
In Dugu Bo's medicinal garden, it was well known that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well harbored numerous priceless immortal herbs. As for these immortal herbs, Lu Yunzhou either used them for cultivation, refining pills, or—of all things—brewing tea.
This time was no different.
Retrieving a stalk of Nine-Grade Violet Ganoderma, he plucked a pale purple leaf and set out the corresponding tea set.
Exhaling softly, a blazing flame appeared in his hand. With a snap of his fingers, a stream of water flowed into the teapot.
Moments later, the rich fragrance of Nine-Grade Violet Ganoderma Tea filled the air.
Pouring a cup for Gu Yuena, Lu Yunzhou introduced it, saying, "This Nine-Grade Violet Ganoderma Tea strengthens the foundation, nourishes vitality, and enhances cultivation."
At the side, the gathered elders, Consecrations, and bishops of the Spirit Hall were stunned.
"Incredible… using an immortal herb to brew tea? Mister Lu truly is a god among men!"
"This… I'm utterly shocked! Mister Lu never fails to amaze. Such extravagance is beyond comprehension!"
"I've always heard that Mister Lu is generous, but this is beyond generosity! Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't dare squander resources like this!"
"Ha! The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? How could they compare to Mister Lu?"
As the crowd murmured among themselves, the Second Consecration, Golden Crocodile Douluo, spoke.
"Silence."
Hearing this, the onlookers immediately fell quiet, no longer daring to interrupt Lu Yunzhou and Gu Yuena's discussion.
"Thank you."
After taking the cup, Gu Yuena's expression remained as cold, aloof, and unapproachable as ever.
She took a small sip, and a hint of comfort and satisfaction flickered across her otherwise serene face. Nodding slightly, she remarked, "As expected of an immortal herb—truly extraordinary."
Without further preamble, she got straight to the point. "Mister Lu, please explain. What kind of collaboration are you seeking with us Soul Beasts?"
Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou didn't bother with unnecessary detours.
"The matter of collaboration is simple. I need something from your Soul Beast clan—no, more accurately, from your Dragon Clan."
"All I ask is that you give me the item I seek, and in return, I will provide your Soul Beast clan with a path to godhood—a unique and unparalleled path to divinity!"
"Furthermore, I can assist you in advancing to become the Dragon God!"
As his words fell, Lu Yunzhou snapped his fingers.
With a crisp sound, a barrier spell seamlessly activated, isolating their conversation from outside interference.
Once the spell was in place, no one—not even those standing right next to them—could hear a single word. Spiritual probing? Futile.
Hearing his words, Gu Yuena's pupils contracted, and her gaze sharpened.
"What did you just say?!"
Outside.
Seeing Gu Yuena's mouth move but hearing no sound, Qian Renxue frowned in confusion.
"What's going on? Why… can't I hear anything?"
As she instinctively prepared to use her spiritual power to investigate, Qian Daoliu intervened, releasing his vast, ocean-like spiritual energy to block her attempt.
"Don't bother. If Mister Lu doesn't want us to listen, no effort will succeed. Instead of wasting time and energy prying into Mister Lu's affairs, we'd do better to wait patiently."
After speaking, Qian Daoliu shifted his gaze to the Beast God, Di Tian, and respectfully greeted him.
"Qian Daoliu greets the Beast God. It is an honor."
Regardless of the situation, Di Tian's status as an 800,000-year-old super Soul Beast demanded respect.
"Di Tian returns the courtesy."
Respect is a two-way street. Hearing Qian Daoliu's polite words and observing his demeanor, Di Tian uncharacteristically reciprocated with equal courtesy.
With that, the two began introducing themselves.
Soul Beasts and humans, not only coexisting peacefully but even exchanging pleasantries?
Such a scene was unprecedented in the annals of history.
And all of this…
Was because of Lu Yunzhou.
Without him, this moment would never have come to pass.
Meanwhile, Lu Yunzhou and Gu Yuena continued their discussion.
"The item I seek is simple—the Dragon God's Heart. If you give it to me, I will provide your clan with a path to godhood and help you ascend to become the Dragon God."
Before Gu Yuena could respond, Lu Yunzhou continued,
"You may doubt me, but the opportunity is right before you, and it will only come once."
"The Dragon God's Heart lies in the Dragon Valley—or perhaps the Dragon Clan's Cemetery. Even without your help, I will find it eventually. It may take me a long time, but trust me, I will succeed."
With that, he sipped his Nine-Grade Violet Ganoderma Tea.
Gu Yuena was shaken to her core.
"The Dragon God's Heart? How does this human know of its existence? And the Dragon Valley and Dragon Clan's Cemetery… where did he learn about those?"
"Who… exactly is he?"
"And what does he mean by a path to godhood?"
"Help me become the Dragon God? Ridiculous. Does he even understand what the Dragon God is? And yet… why does he seem so confident? It's almost as if… he's not lying to me."
A whirlwind of thoughts raced through her mind.
After a long pause, Gu Yuena snapped back to reality. Swallowing several times, the gravity of the situation was etched onto her face as she spoke,
"For a Soul Beast to achieve godhood, one must endure ten tribulations from the heavens. The difficulty of this cannot be overstated. So, explain your method of attaining godhood. If you can convince me, I will agree to collaborate with you."
"As for helping me become the so-called Dragon God? Forgive me, but I doubt you have the capability."
Her tone carried a trace of disdain.
Despite her dismissive words, a hint of curiosity sparked within Gu Yuena.
Her exquisite features lit up with faint interest as she decided to see for herself just how capable this Lu Yunzhou truly was to dare act so brazenly before her.
