Chapter 481 - 246: Extradition Ship Contract, Dark Prison Aura (Part 2)

"I’ve got it right here."

Liou Yuan’s eyes glanced at the ship contract in his hand, and he could barely contain his smile.

"Why don’t I find some time to present this ship contract?"

As for whether Xuanyi would be influenced by the Dark Prison Aura in this ship contract, Liou Yuan didn’t know.

Anyway, if the Sect Leader wants to investigate, it’s part of his duty to present the clues as a disciple of the sect.

He could also ask Xuanyi to break the Dark Prison Seal on him while he’s at it.

If Xuanyi could directly break the Dark Prison Seal on him and suppress this ship contract, that would be the best outcome.

If that couldn’t be done.

Even if Xuanyi ends up marked with the Dark Prison Seal, it’s still a good thing for Liou Yuan.

"The Sect Leader can handle that ghost ship, and if the sky were to fall, he’s there to hold it up, so I can cultivate peacefully under the Sect Leader!"

This idea was undoubtedly feasible.

Liou Yuan, holding the Dark Prison Seal, pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind.

"Let’s do it!"

The plan for the ship contract was already set, but the problem of how to meet the Sect Leader remained.

Even though Liou Yuan is now at the Foundation Establishment Realm, at best he’s still just an Inner Sect Disciple; the Sect Leader isn’t someone he can meet on a whim.

"That’s not difficult; while it’s hard for me to meet the Sect Leader, it’s much easier for my brother."

Liou Yuan contemplated whether to inform Liou Zhen about this matter.

When Liou Yuan returned from the Inner Sect, it was already the middle of the night, and he had spent a long time searching for the mark on the female cultivator in the secret chamber.

The outside world was already at sunrise, with golden morning light shining from the horizon outside the Five Extremes Mountain onto Xiang Mountain, casting onto the secret chamber door where Liou Yuan was located.

A plump Daoist landed in front of the secret chamber under the morning light, respectfully calling out to Liou Yuan inside: "Young Master, Liou Hongjun pays his respects!"

Upon hearing Liou Hongjun’s voice from outside the door, Liou Yuan didn’t immediately respond but glanced at the female cultivator’s corpse, which he had suppressed using the All Heaven Derivation Array Disc.

He certainly couldn’t let the existence of this female cultivator be leaked.

Leaving her in the secret chamber would sooner or later be detected by Liou Hongjun.

Thus, after a brief contemplation, he waved his sleeve and stored Su’e into the Storage Ring.

"The Spiritual Qi from this Eternal Life seed is almost absorbed, and Su’e waking up is just a matter of time."

"Better to carry her and find an opportunity to settle her somewhere."

After stowing away Su’e, Liou Yuan also put away the All Heaven Derivation Array Disc, then slowly pushed open the stone door to see Liou Hongjun standing outside the secret chamber.

The latter’s smile became even more ingratiating upon seeing Liou Yuan come out.

Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators generally have pride, but Liou Hongjun seemed to care little about face, especially in front of the two Liou brothers, Liou Zhen and Liou Yuan.

That’s why only Liou Hongjun was heavily relied on by Liou Zhen within the foggy Liou Family.

"This chubby guy can really see the situation clearly. Even without cultivating, he’d still thrive in the mundane world." Liou Yuan secretly mused about Liou Hongjun, but his face showed a smile, still referring to Liou Hongjun as Mr. Liou.

"Mr. Liou, what brings you here?"

"When you went to the Inner Sect, the Patriarch specifically instructed me to contact an Artifact Refiner at the Artifact Refining Pavilion to craft a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact for you."

"You know I don’t have many other skills, but my artifact refining skills are passable, and I know some capable Artifact Refiners, so I pleaded around and found a master for you."

"Would you like to come with me to see him?"

Liou Hongjun relayed Liou Zhen’s instructions, giving Liou Yuan a questioning look while waiting for his response.

"Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact, almost forgot about that."

Liou Yuan slapped his forehead; after coming out, there were so many things to deal with that he really forgot to handle this important matter.

Every Foundation Establishment Cultivator customizes a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact.

This concerns the combat strength in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Other Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts can’t compare to custom-made ones.

What’s more, Liou Yuan was using only the sword transformed from the Cold Star and Moonlight Bracelet, although it’s the best Magical Artifact in the Qi Cultivation Realm, it’s still just a Qi Cultivation Realm item.

The crafting of the Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact is essential.

"My brother is indeed thoughtful." Liou Yuan silently praised Liou Zhen.

No one was more suitable than Liou Hongjun to contact a Foundation Establishment Artifact Refining Master for him.

He looked at Liou Hongjun again with a smile: "Then I’ll trouble Mr. Liou to lead the way."

"No trouble at all, Daoist, as part of the Liou Family, working for the family is working for myself." Liou Hongjun constantly expressed his loyalty.

"Young Master, please follow me."

After finishing his words, he soared into the air, with Liou Yuan following behind.

It was still the familiar Artifact Refining Pavilion, but with Liou Hongjun leading, they went to a place inaccessible to ordinary disciples.

As they passed through the main hall of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, the hot atmosphere vanished, replaced by the coolness brought by the mountain breeze.

The innermost area of the Artifact Refining Pavilion is not open to Outer Sect Disciples.

There stood a tall pavilion with gilded letters spelling ’Divine Craft Pavilion.’

The Divine Craft Pavilion is guarded by an Array, inaccessible to ordinary Outer Sect Disciples.

Liou Yuan and Liou Hongjun’s badges allowed them unhindered entry.

Liou Yuan followed Liou Hongjun to stop at the stairway on the second floor, and could hear from a distance an elder’s irritable voice coming from the Forging Room: "You useless, making you forge Lingxing Iron, half a month has passed, how many materials have been ruined, and you give me this little finished product."

"What good are you for? If this continues, I’ll have your father take you back, go back to your Qiu Family."

"I’m wise all my life, never seen anyone so stupid."
