Chapter 2314: Restoring the Cloak!

Chapter 2314: Chapter 2314: Restoring the Cloak!

Zhou Yu soon arrived at Yu Ruo’s shop.

Upon seeing Zhou Yu’s arrival, Yu Ruo immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Zhou, you are here!"

"I was just about to contact you, thinking that something might have delayed you."

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"There was something, but it’s taken care of now."

"I wonder if Daoist Yu is prepared?"

Yu Ruo smiled slightly.

"Senior Zhou, I am all prepared."

"Please follow me."

Saying this, Yu Ruo led Zhou Yu to the second floor of the shop, and then to the space they had visited before through the Transmission Array.

Once in this space, Zhou Yu immediately noticed a difference.

In the central area of the space, a new Array had been set up.

This Array was about a square meter in size, using some jade stones and runes that Zhou Yu had never seen before.

At the center of the Array, there was a large Copper Furnace.

The Copper Furnace was about seven feet tall.

Inside the furnace, scarlet flames flickered.

And among the flickering flames, a black stone was floating.

Zhou Yu recognized it at a glance.

The black stone was the inner core of the Beastman.

However, this inner core had undergone significant changes.

Though still black, it now resembled a crystal, translucent and clear.

More importantly, the inner core was now completely devoid of its previously violent aura.

At this moment, Yu Ruo’s voice rang out.

"Senior Zhou, it has been five days since I processed this inner core."

"The quality of this inner core far exceeds that of ordinary High Rank Demon Beasts, and it seems to contain the aura of a Divine Beast’s bloodline."

"Therefore, using it to repair the cloak will yield much better results than I had originally anticipated."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu replied with an impassive look:

"Daoist Yu, I don’t understand the repair process, just handle it as you see fit."

"When can we start?"

Yu Ruo immediately responded:

"We can start now."

"However, there is one thing, I might need your help, Senior Zhou."

Zhou Yu asked:

"What is it?"

Yu Ruo said:

"To prevent any third parties from knowing about this cloak repair, I intend to complete the process myself."

"However, my cultivation is limited, and I might not be able to maintain the Array’s operation all the way through, so I would need your assistance, Senior Zhou, to sustain the Array."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

"All right."

"Then I shall begin right away."

"Please give me the cloak first!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand, and the cloak flew towards Yu Ruo.

Once Yu Ruo took the cloak, she stepped into the Array with it.

In the next moment, the entire Array began to operate.

The jade stone runes started to release intense waves, converging towards the Copper Furnace in the center.

Meanwhile, a Flame Barrier appeared around the perimeter.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu’s expression remained unchanged.

Even though he had never seen all this before, breaking it would not be difficult for him.

Furthermore, through the Eye of Destruction, he could vaguely see Yu Ruo’s every move inside the Array.

Therefore, Zhou Yu felt no concern.

In the following time, Zhou Yu continued to observe outside the Array.

The purple qilin phantom reappeared around Yu Ruo, assisting in the cloak’s repair.

Such a sight was no longer surprising to Zhou Yu.

Seven days passed quickly.

During these seven days, there indeed was a slight issue with the Array, and Zhou Yu followed Yu Ruo’s instructions, promptly injecting Primordial Power into the Array.

No incidents occurred.

After seven days, as the Array’s power gradually waned, Yu Ruo’s figure reappeared.

She looked a bit pale, her spirit utterly depleted.

She was visibly exhausted.

Yet her face was full of smiles.

"Senior Zhou, I fulfilled the task."

"The cloak’s repair is complete."

Saying this, Yu Ruo presented the cloak to Zhou Yu.

Once Zhou Yu took the cloak, he sensed the intense waves of demonic qi emanating from it.

This wave was completely different from the one when it was in a damaged state.

They were worlds apart.

However, Zhou Yu did not examine it further on the spot; he quietly tucked the cloak away, then waved his hand, producing a bottle of Pill Medicine.

"You’ve worked hard, Daoist Yu."

"This bottle of Pill Medicine can help you recover quickly."

Opening the bottle, Yu Ruo’s face was full of disbelief upon seeing the contents inside.

She then looked at Zhou Yu with excitement.

"Thank you, Senior Zhou."

Zhou Yu waved his hand.

"With matters here done, I shall take my leave now."

Finishing his words, Zhou Yu left the shop directly.

After leaving the shop, Zhou Yu immediately returned to his residence to admire the restored cloak.

However, just as he was about to return home, he suddenly encountered an elder and a young man.

The elder was Elder Xu, who had previously caused the Primordial Power storm in Black Cloud City with the Qilin Essence.

Beside him stood a young man who appeared to be around twenty years old.

As soon as Zhou Yu appeared, both looked towards him simultaneously.

Elder Xu flickered and came before Zhou Yu, smiling broadly.

"You must be Daoist Zhou, Zhou Yu."

"I am an Elder of the Heaven Puppet Clan, my surname is Xu."

Zhou Yu unassumingly clasped his hands and said:

"So it is Elder Xu."

"Is there something Elder Xu seeks me for?"

Elder Xu chuckled.

"Daoist Zhou, I have come to pay an unexpected visit with good reason."

"By the way, this is my descendant, Xu Tao."

Xu Tao stepped forward and respectfully addressed Zhou Yu:

"Junior Xu Tao greets Senior Zhou."

With a glance, Zhou Yu could tell Xu Tao was a junior in the Golden Core Realm.

Reaching the Golden Core Realm at such a young age marked him as exceptionally talented.

Elder Xu smiled at Zhou Yu.

"I’ve long heard the clan had invited Daoist Zhou, and I should have visited sooner."

"But due to some matters, I’ve been away from the clan; now that I’ve returned, I came to see Daoist Zhou immediately."

Zhou Yu wondered about his connection with Elder Xu.

Why the visit now?

Could it be related to the recent Primordial Power storm?

Zhou Yu smiled softly:

"Elder Xu is too kind."

"Let’s speak inside."

Zhou Yu led Elder Xu and his nephew into his residence.

In the reception hall, Elder Xu was straightforward.

"Daoist Zhou, my visit is indeed about the Primordial Power storm that occurred in Black Cloud City."

"I wonder if Daoist Zhou had any involvement in that storm?"
