Chapter 2249: Chapter 2249: Gift of the Ghost Mastiff

The woman looked through it and her face was full of excitement.

"Senior, these things are enough."

"They have already exceeded the value of the cloak."

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"No problem, you can keep them."

"Consider it as partial payment for the guide fee."

Upon hearing this, the woman said excitedly:

"In that case, I won’t be polite."

"By the way, where are you currently residing, Senior? Please leave your address, so I can notify you in three days."

"No need, I’ll come to find you here in three days."

"Alright."

After the discussion, Zhou Yu didn’t linger and directly left.

Afterward, Zhou Yu went to other places for a walk and although he gained some treasures,

they paled in comparison to this cloak.

After a day of wandering, Zhou Yu headed straight for the imperial palace at the center of Black Cloud City.

Upon arriving at the imperial palace, Zhou Yu directly took out the token left by Jia Chen.

The palace guards saw the token and respectfully escorted Zhou Yu inside.

Soon, Jia Chen also learned of Zhou Yu’s arrival.

He personally came out to greet him.

"Daoist Zhou, you finally made it."

"I’ve been waiting for Daoist Zhou for several days."

"Quickly, quickly, please come inside."

Zhou Yu entered with Jia Chen.

It must be said, the imperial palace and the outside are completely different worlds.

Not to mention, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power here is more abundant than even the highest level cave abodes outside.

After sitting down, Jia Chen immediately had someone bring out Spiritual Wine.

"Daoist Zhou, this Spiritual Wine is unique to our clan. Have a taste."

Zhou Yu took a sip, indeed, the spiritual energy was extremely rich, and the wine was very fragrant.

"Good wine."

Hearing Zhou Yu’s praise, Jia Chen’s face was full of smiles.

"By the way, after these days, Daoist Zhou must have learned the uses of those ten Heaven-Reaching Pillars."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"The Heaven Puppet Clan truly deserves to be the race most adept at crafting Puppets in the Heavenly Origin World."

"The puppet crafting technique is incredibly skillful, truly an eye-opener for me."

"If I’m not mistaken, Daoist Jia is also from the Heaven Puppet Clan."

Jia Chen said excitedly:

"That’s right, I am indeed from the Heaven Puppet Clan."

"I have loved the art of puppetry since childhood, spending most of my time on puppet crafts."

"My dream is to one day create a top war puppet that surpasses the Heaven-Reaching Pillars."

Jia Chen spoke with vigor and full of confidence.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s heart stirred.

He smiled and said:

"Since Daoist Jia is so adept at puppetry, how about looking at this."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu waved his hand.

In an instant, two beautiful women appeared in front of Zhou Yu.

Seeing these two beauties, Jia Chen was stunned, then he suddenly stood up.

"These are... Puppets!!!"

Zhou Yu laughed:

"Sort of."

"The person who crafted them calls them Ghost Mastiffs."

These two beautiful Ghost Mastiffs were given to him by Ghost Master in the Black Soul Abyss before.

To be honest, this thing is of no use to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu doesn’t like women, and he has no fixed abode, so he doesn’t need these beautiful Ghost Mastiffs to serve him.

At this moment, Jia Chen’s eyes were full of shock as he came to the two beautiful Ghost Mastiffs, continuously touching, examining, and using various methods to probe and test them.

He had completely forgotten about Zhou Yu and was immersed in them.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, savoring his Spiritual Wine, without interrupting him.

After half a day had passed, Jia Chen suddenly came back to reality.

Only then did he realize he had left Zhou Yu unattended for half the day.

"Daoist Zhou, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was too enthralled just now to entertain you properly."

"Apologies."

Jia Chen apologized repeatedly.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said:

"No problem."

"Instead, Daoist Jia’s fascination with puppetry is admirable."

Jia Chen smiled bitterly.

"I truly can’t control this."

"However, Daoist Zhou, these two beautiful Ghost Mastiffs are truly remarkable."

"I didn’t expect puppetry to take such an unconventional path. The one who crafted these Ghost Mastiffs must be nearly demonic."

Zhou Yu thought of Ghost Master.

He nodded.

"Indeed."

"Seeing how much Daoist Jia likes this item, I’ll give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Jia Chen hurriedly waved his hand.

"Daoist Zhou, I am not worthy of receiving such a gift."

"You saved me, and I haven’t had the chance to thank you properly. How can I accept your treasure!"

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"As cultivators, we value exuberance."

"This item is useless to me, and keeping it is a waste. It’s better to give it to someone with a destined affinity."

"Daoist Jia is the destined person."

Although Jia Chen felt embarrassed, he really liked this thing too much.

If he could study this item thoroughly, it would certainly lead to a significant breakthrough in puppetry.

Jia Chen took a deep breath.

"Daoist Zhou, then I won’t be polite."

"I will accept this item."

"By the way, I have prepared some gifts for Daoist Zhou."

"Including Spiritual Medicine, Magic Treasure, Talismans — whatever Daoist Zhou needs, I can prepare for you."

But Zhou Yu waved his hand.

"Daoist Jia, no need to trouble yourself."

"I don’t need any gifts, but I do have some questions I’d like to inquire about with Daoist Jia."

Upon hearing this, Jia Chen immediately said:

"Daoist Zhou, please go ahead."

Zhou Yu began:

"I heard there is a large Transmission Array in the imperial city that only a few members of the Imperial Family can use."

"Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Chen paused.

"There is indeed a large Transmission Array."

"This array is now a shared item of the Alliance Clan, guarded by a sacrificial official from within."

"To use it, one must have the agreement of all the Elders from the Alliance Clan."

Jia Chen replied.

"Why?"

"Daoist Zhou wants to use this array?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"That’s right."

"So, I’m wondering what I need to do if I want to use this array."

Upon hearing this, Jia Chen’s eyes showed some hesitation.

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"To be honest, if the Divine Horn Clan hadn’t invaded our Black Cloud Twenty-Eight Clans, my influence would be enough to allow Daoist Zhou to use the array."

"But now, with the Divine Horn Clan’s massive invasion, the Black Cloud Twenty-Eight Clans are at risk, and the Alliance Clan has strictly ordered everyone to use this array."

"It seems they’re afraid that spies from the Divine Horn Clan will infiltrate and sabotage the formation."

"If the formation malfunctions, it would sever the retreat of everyone in Black Cloud City."

"I hope Daoist Zhou understands."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned.

He could naturally understand what Jia Chen was saying.

However, it wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

At this moment, Jia Chen continued:

"However, there is another way that might be worth trying."

"Oh?"

"What way? Please explain in detail, Daoist!" Zhou Yu’s heart stirred, and he immediately asked.
