Chapter 1949: Chapter 1947: An 80 Million Asset Path

"A financial opportunity worth eighty million Asura Seals—is Brother Lu interested?" Arbuluo whispered, looking sneaky.

"Eighty million!" Lu Ye’s expression was one of shock.

Currently, he has a substantial amount of Asura Seals, but it’s only over fourteen million, far from eighty million.

Though he knew that anything Arbuluo and Gu Sheng considered important would be significant, he never imagined it would be to such an extent!

If he could gather eighty million Asura Seals in a short time, even if split three ways, he would still have over twenty million. Coupled with what he currently has, it might be enough to refine his Magic Source, or at least not too far off.

However, this number...

Lu Ye was intrigued, quickly picked up his Asura Authority Token, and checked the reward board using it. Upon seeing the bounty for the top-ranked reward, he realized he wasn’t mistaken.

He glanced at Arbuluo, then Gu Sheng: "Brother Luo, the financial route you’re referring to, is it..." He gestured upward.

Arbuluo nodded solemnly and slowly, "Indeed, Brother Lu is clever and insightful; it’s exactly what you’re thinking."

The top-ranked task on the reward board is to provide any concrete information regarding the specific location of the Asura Field—bounty: eighty million Asura Seals!

Lu Ye had noticed this task the first time he came to the Reward Hall; it’s undoubtedly a task released by a veteran Sun Blaze and represents a massive force behind it.

Throughout history, countless experts have come to the Asura Field seeking traces of this stellar space supreme treasure. This reward has possibly been up for unknown years, yet unfulfilled, showing its difficulty.

Lu Ye was perplexed: "Do you have clues on this matter?"

Arbuluo looked at Gu Sheng: "This guy does!"

Lu Ye was even more puzzled: "In that case, why not just accept the bounty?" He then exclaimed, "Could it be you both are tempted by the supreme treasure?"

That is a stellar space supreme treasure, not something Moon Jade could easily touch. Numerous Sun Blaze strive to find it in the Asura Field, and obtaining it might be fatal for Moon Jade, rendering it useless even if obtained.

Gu Sheng shook his head: "Tempted, yes, but only that much. Moreover..." He seemed unable to explain further, saying, "The bounty requires solid intelligence to obtain the reward. Mere clues are useless, and what we need to do is dig up this concrete intelligence!"

Lu Ye agreed and asked, "Brother Gu, having originated from Yellow Dragon World, there should be Sun Blaze experts in the Asura Field. Why not inform them?"

Gu Sheng replied, "Because it’s a training scene that only Moon Jade can enter—Sun Blaze cannot!"

Lu Ye understood; if Gu Sheng informed those Sun Blaze, they would be powerless.

"So, what do you need from me?"

Gu Sheng had already teamed up with Arbuluo. These two were the top rankers in the Moon Jade Ranking, their alliance arguably unstoppable at the Moon Jade level. Now involving Lu Ye—this implies danger...

"I visited that scene alone for training before; the prior injuries stemmed from it. Details aside, at the end, there’s a remarkably ancient and powerful cover armor that I cannot defeat alone, even with Radish Head, likely not!"

Radish Head... Lu Ye glanced at Arbuluo, who wore a look of disdain.

"But if Brother Lu joins forces, with our combined strength, we might secure it!"

If Lu Ye hadn’t emerged suddenly, Gu Sheng would have had to try with Arbuluo alone. But Lu Ye’s presence gave him new possibilities.

With their trio—a physique cultivator, a magic cultivator, and a combat cultivator—against that cover armor, unless it’s at the Sun Blaze level, it wouldn’t stand a chance!

By overcoming that cover armor, they could explore the final secret, which Gu Sheng’s intelligence indicated is definitely related to the Asura Field.

By then, not only could they fulfill the bounty task and acquire copious Asura Seals, they could also report the intelligence to the domain’s Sun Blaze.

Listening to Gu Sheng’s narration, Lu Ye pondered in silence.

He could sense Arbuluo and Gu Sheng meant no harm, so forming an alliance wasn’t problematic, but some questions needed asking.

"Is the scenario Brother Gu entered repeatedly accessible?"

The Asura Field’s training scenarios, some are one-time entries, while very few are repeatable; Lu Ye knew this, hence the query.

"Not entirely; I can enter two more times!" Gu Sheng replied, "And I brought a thing out, with which I can bring at most two companions inside."

Lu Ye understood: entry frequency and participant limit explained why Gu Sheng approached him. Without such limits, given Yellow Dragon World’s resources, he wouldn’t seek external collaboration.

"If successful, how do we share the Asura Seals?" Lu Ye asked. Since it’s a collaboration, all details must be discussed upfront, despite Arbuluo and Gu Sheng seeming trustworthy, caution is wise.

"I’ll take half, the remaining half will be split between you two," Gu Sheng proposed.

Lu Ye nodded: "Reasonable!"

Gu Sheng discovered the training scene; they both need Gu Sheng to escort them in. Their task is merely to jointly battle that powerful cover armor, so the sharing is fair.

Half of fifty percent equates to twenty million Asura Seals—a considerable sum.

"Brother Lu, do you mean..." Gu Sheng looked at him. Although he could infer from Lu Ye’s tone, he still needed a definitive answer.

"Let’s do it!" Lu Ye nodded. Such a good opportunity came knocking, and naturally, there was no reason to pass it up.

Gu Sheng smiled, truly captivatingly...

He reached out and instantly, an Asura Pact appeared before him: "Though a gentleman’s word is as solid as a bond, and I am willing to trust Brother Lu, it’s still wise to sign a contract for clarity’s sake."

Especially since Lu Ye wasn’t very familiar with them, no one truly knew each other’s nature. In such circumstances, an Asura Pact was quite necessary.

"No problem." Lu Ye readily agreed and examined the various clauses on the Asura Pact. It seemed to be something Gu Sheng had already drafted. There weren’t too many constraints, only stipulations to work sincerely as a team during the experience, without any secret schemes, along with the profit-sharing ratio after success.

Gu Sheng and Arbuluo had already left their marks on it.

Lu Ye also left his mark, and the Asura Pact immediately transformed into a glow, enveloping the three of them.

The Talent Tree reacted immediately, large swaths of grey mist rising up.

After the agreement, Gu Sheng and Arbuluo stood up together. Gu Sheng looked at Lu Ye and said, "Brother Lu has just returned from training, so take a few days to rest and make some preparations. Get in touch with us when you’re ready to train again."

Arbuluo and Gu Sheng left, and after a brief contemplation, Lu Ye didn’t linger there but quickly returned to his own cave residence.

There wasn’t much he needed to prepare, as he carried all his cultivation and recovery resources with him, and didn’t need healing either.

He just needed to wait a few days until this calm period passed to enter the practice scene again. By then, the Talent Tree should be able to burn away the power of the Asura Pact.

However, there was one item that caught his attention.

He reached into his arms and took out the Dice of Fate, placing it in front of him.

This baby fist-sized item was quite eerie. Lu Ye clearly remembered that before his last experience, he deliberately left this item in his cave residence.

Yet somehow, it entered the practice scene with him. Even though rolling a "great fortune" helped him smoothly, there’s no guarantee it wouldn’t roll a "great misfortune" next time.

Especially since the next practice scene was a place where even Gu Sheng was severely injured. So, despite his reluctance, he had to deal with it promptly!

With a thought, Lu Ye grabbed the Dice of Fate and entered the Asura Treasure Vault, quickly arriving at a specific place.

Then he placed the Dice of Fate on a column in front of him.

Some treasures acquired by cultivators in the Asura Field could be reclaimed by the Asura Treasure Vault for corresponding Asura Seal rewards.

Most cultivators used this method to assess the value of treasures they couldn’t identify.

Of course, not everything would be reclaimed by the treasure vault, only certain special items with value were eligible for reclamation.

Previously, Lu Ye had used this method to learn about the specific information on the Dice of Fate, but he hadn’t intended to reclaim it at that time.

Now, as the Dice of Fate was placed, Lu Ye immediately had the same information as last time appear in his mind.

Dice of Fate: Affiliated treasure of a supreme treasure, brings fortune and averts misfortune, altering destiny, all in a single roll.

He silently said "reclaim" in his mind.

But there was no response.

This thing... can’t be reclaimed?

He frowned, looked around to see no one was paying attention, and quietly took out the sword gourd, retrieving the Dice of Fate, and placed the sword gourd instead.

Sword gourd: An affiliated treasure of the Creation Vine’s supreme treasure, capable of devouring treasures to transform Sword Qi. The higher the quality of the devoured treasures, the stronger the Sword Qi. If all seven gourds are gathered, the wonders of creation may be revealed.

Even in the information received, whether the sword gourd could be reclaimed was unknown, and Lu Ye didn’t dare to try. If it were reclaimed, the sword gourd would be lost.

Only at this moment did he know that there are indeed seven affiliated treasures of the Creation Vine!

The pill gourd was currently with him, now under the control of the Second Senior Sister for alchemy, and he had only heard of a wind gourd, the remaining four were completely unheard of.

As for the wonders of creation after gathering all seven gourds, Lu Ye had no idea.

Retrieving the sword gourd, Lu Ye frowned deeply.

He initially wanted to have the Asura Field reclaim the Dice of Fate, but it turned out this plan wouldn’t work. From the looks of it, this thing was bound to him? What kind of logic was this?

Helpless, he could only let it go. After all, it’s an affiliated treasure of a supreme treasure, it might unexpectedly come in handy. And if it does roll something bad... he still has the Talent Tree to burn it away.

There’s something I need to attend to today, so only one update. Apologies.
