Chapter 2315: Chapter 2315: Requesting a Favor in Person

Faced with Elder Xu’s inquiry, Zhou Yu knew that denying it would be meaningless.

Since Elder Xu had already approached him, it indicated he had a certain level of confidence.

If he were to deny it and be exposed, it would put him at a great disadvantage.

Zhou Yu nodded.

"That’s right."

"That Spiritual Power storm was indeed triggered by me inadvertently."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu looked thrilled.

"That’s great!"

"Daoist Zhou, then can you trigger a similar Spiritual Power storm again?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Elder Xu, could you please explain why another one is needed?"

Elder Xu chuckled:

"That goes without saying."

"Actually, it has to do with my own race."

"My race isn’t actually the Heaven Puppet Clan, but an affiliated race of the Heaven Puppet Clan known as the Shadowless Clan."

"Shadowless Clan?"

Zhou Yu was stunned, instinctively assessing Elder Xu with a glance.

To be honest, he really hadn’t noticed.

However, that was quite normal.

After all, the Heaven Puppet Clan is a top-tier grand clan, with a dozen or even hundreds of subordinate races.

He couldn’t know all the races.

Zhou Yu smiled wryly:

"Sorry, I really wasn’t aware."

Elder Xu laughed:

"No problem, the Shadowless Clan is just a small clan."

"However, despite being a small clan, every member is very powerful; it can be said that in the same realm, their combat power is top-notch."

Elder Xu’s face was full of pride as he spoke.

Zhou Yu nodded.

He could indeed feel that.

This Elder Xu was at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, yet his aura was not inferior to that of a master at the Integration Realm level.

Furthermore, you could tell when he collected the Spiritual Power storm.

That clean and swift technique was something Zhou Yu couldn’t replicate.

Elder Xu continued saying:

"The reason my Shadowless Clan excels individually lies in our companion beasts."

"Companion beasts?"

Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully.

These companion beasts are rare among the Human and Demon Clans, yet they seem common in the Northern Domain of Heavenly Essence Realm; many races have companion beasts.

"Indeed."

"Everyone in my Shadowless Clan has a companion beast."

"But, our companion beasts differ significantly from those of other races."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yu displayed an expression of curiosity.

"That’s because our companion beasts are cultivated."

Elder Xu slowly stated.

"Cultivated?"

Zhou Yu was genuinely surprised.

"I won’t elaborate on exactly how they’re cultivated."

"But once our kin cultivate companion beasts, they essentially gain another avatar."

"The power difference between the second avatar and the main body is minimal."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was visibly shocked for the first time.

A second avatar?

With hardly any difference in power from the main body?

No wonder the battle strength of the Shadowless Clan stands out among others in the same realm.

Consider this, if Elder Xu wasn’t lying.

When Shadowless Clan members fight against others, releasing their companion beasts is like having an extra person—how can they not be formidable?

At this moment, Zhou Yu seemed to have understood something.

"So, this Spiritual Power storm business relates to your clan’s companion beast?"

Elder Xu nodded.

"Daoist Zhou guessed correctly."

"Indeed, this matter concerns our clan’s companion beast."

"More precisely, it relates to my younger relative."

Elder Xu pointed at Xu Tao next to him.

When mentioning Xu Tao, Elder Xu wore an expression of pride.

"My nephew’s talent is unprecedented in our Shadowless Clan."

"In his early twenties, he’s already reached the Golden Core Realm."

"At this rate, within a century, he could enter Divinity Transformation, or even Refining Void."

"But..."

Saying this, Elder Xu’s expression suddenly grew dim.

Behind him, Xu Tao also displayed an expression of unwillingness.

Elder Xu continued:

"Yet, Heaven loves its talents, my nephew encountered an unforeseen circumstance while cultivating his companion beast."

"To put it simply, he should’ve cultivated his companion beast three years ago, but he’s been stuck on the final step."

"Over these three years, I’ve tried many methods, but they were of little use."

"Until the day I collected those Spiritual Power storms, I discovered that the Spiritual Power within them had actually helped my nephew cultivate his companion beast."

"Regrettably, those Spiritual Power storms were too few."

"Therefore, I came uninvited, and rudely disturbed Daoist Zhou, hoping Daoist Zhou could lend a hand."

"If Daoist Zhou can help my nephew even once, I am willing to offer ample compensation."

"I guarantee satisfaction for Daoist Zhou."

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yu had already understood Elder Xu’s intentions.

Actually, it wasn’t the Spiritual Power storm’s merit; it was likely the Qilin Essence’s role.

Though the Qilin Essence had been refined once, losing its original effect.

Still, it was, after all, the Qilin Essence, solving the issue of an Integration Realm junior’s companion beast was not a big deal.

However, Zhou Yu was unsure if the Qilin Essence remained.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t checked carefully that day.

Upon thinking this, Zhou Yu immediately extended his Divine Sense into the Four Directions Realm and began inspecting the Purple Tiger.

Soon enough, he discovered another crystal beside the Purple Tiger.

Judging from this, the Purple Tiger must’ve taken it as a snack.

If so, it indicated that this item was somewhat beneficial to the Purple Tiger.

Zhou Yu hesitated, revealing a troubled expression.

He turned to Elder Xu and said:

"Since Elder Xu is so forthright, I won’t hide anything."

"Truthfully, triggering that Spiritual Power storm was entirely unintentional; it cost me greatly."

"Because my original intention was to refine a Pill Medicine, but due to failure, I ultimately triggered the Spiritual Power storm."

"And the item I used to refine the Pill Medicine is extremely rare; using one is losing one."

"Just using it to trigger a Spiritual Power storm is a great waste."

Hearing this, Elder Xu became excited immediately.

He initially approached with a trial attitude but wasn’t expecting to find, based on Zhou Yu’s words, Zhou Yu did indeed have the item to trigger the Spiritual Power storm.

He promptly said:

"Daoist Zhou, please help me no matter what."

"How about this, regardless of any treasure, it has a price."

"Xu has amassed some fortune over the years, and I’m willing to exchange other treasures for it, just as long as Daoist Zhou agrees, Xu has no objection."

"This..."

Zhou Yu was still hesitant.

Seeing this, Elder Xu didn’t say much, instead, he waved his hand vigorously, and immediately, six or seven streams of light appeared before him.

Subsequently, seven boxes appeared before Zhou Yu.

"Why don’t Daoist Zhou take a look first, these treasures were obtained through numerous near-death experiences and might interest Daoist Zhou..."
