“Please come in, City Lord.”
Li Yun extended a hand in invitation.
He had long been familiar with the Lord of the Great Wasteland City.
Before they even met, the Lord had already gifted him a Heavenly Phenomenon-level magic treasure. His generosity was evident, and if he managed to sell something today, he might make quite a profit!
“Too kind, too kind.”
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City shook his head repeatedly, bowing as he said, “Senior, please.”
“Haha.”
Li Yun chuckled lightly, not saying anything further, and turned to enter the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City followed closely behind.
Once inside the main hall,
Liu Chengxue had already prepared two cups of tea and was walking toward them.
Upon seeing this scene,
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City's heart skipped a beat.
As expected.
Han Feng hadn't lied to him. The core disciple of the Great Luo Sword Sect was actually serving as a maid here. Moreover, the Great Luo Sect Master had already visited.
And yet, there was no objection to it.
What did this represent?
It meant that the Great Luo Sect Master had tacitly accepted the situation!
“Senior, please enjoy the tea.”
Liu Chengxue approached Li Yun respectfully, offering the tea.
“Thank you.”
Li Yun took the tea and expressed his thanks.
Though Liu Chengxue was currently staying here, he had never seen her as just a maid. Besides, the Heavenly Mechanism Tower didn't need a maid.
Everything here could be accomplished by a mere thought.
Within the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, he was like a creator. While not everything was instantaneous, no one could rival him.
“Senior is too polite.”
Liu Chengxue's heart leaped with joy. Few could make the senior thank them, and it seemed that she was the first since she had met him.
Next,
Liu Chengxue approached the Lord of the Great Wasteland City.
Before she got close,
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City quickly stood up, flustered, and said,
“Fairy, there's no need. I can do it myself.”
While the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Lord could ignore Liu Chengxue, the Lord of the Great Wasteland City certainly couldn't. After all, she was a core disciple of the Great Luo Sword Sect, a position of immense importance.
Behind her stood the Great Luo Sect Master, who was far more powerful than he, a mere city lord.
Liu Chengxue smiled, unconcerned. After placing the teacup down, she turned and left.
Once Liu Chengxue had departed,
Li Yun opened the Lord of the Great Wasteland City's panel. A quick glance revealed what the city lord was thinking. He sighed softly and said,
“City Lord, I understand your intentions. If you're hoping for the Heavenly Mechanism Tower to protect the Great Wasteland City, I'm afraid I must disappoint you.”
“Huh?”
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City was shocked. His face turned pale, and the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, spilling some tea.
How did the senior know what he was thinking before he even spoke?
“This...?”
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City forced a smile that looked more painful than crying and weakly asked,
“Is it that the senior looks down on the Great Wasteland City, this poor and remote place?”
“Not at all.”
Li Yun shook his head.
The Great Wasteland City was where he had settled.
To be honest,
If the Lord of the Great Wasteland City wanted to ask for protection, he would have loved to agree.
After all, he didn't want to see the Great Wasteland City destroyed by others someday.
However,
His strength was insufficient, and the Heavenly Mechanism Tower only protected him. It was impossible to offer protection to the entire city. Rather than waiting for the Lord to ask, it was better for him to refuse in advance.
This way, if the Great Wasteland City were destroyed one day, he wouldn't be left powerless.
“Then why?”
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City stood up, deeply agitated.
“Senior, I've brought heavy gifts this time, a family heirloom, meant to personally offer it to you...”
“As long as Senior...”
“The Ten-Thousand-Year Longevity Tree?”
Li Yun spoke again.
“Eh...?”
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City, who had been speaking excitedly, suddenly seemed as if someone had choked him. His face turned red, and he was at a loss for words.
What he had intended to say or do,
The senior had already predicted every step with precision, speaking out exactly what he was about to propose.
What was going on?
He had lived for hundreds of years,
But this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
“Senior, the Ten-Thousand-Year Longevity Tree is...”
“I know, it's a material for forging Saint-level weapons, right?”
Li Yun smiled and said.
Earlier, he had checked with the system.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Longevity Tree was quite valuable—9,800 Heavenly Mechanism Points, even more expensive than a Saint Lord-level weapon, which showed just how precious it was.
“This...”
“Looks like... I was overly optimistic.”
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City's heart sank.
Saint-level materials were indeed rare, and many Saints would be tempted, but in this case, it was clear that the Heavenly Mechanism Tower wouldn't be moved by it.
He had overestimated the value of the Saint-level material and underestimated the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Lord.
Just as the Lord of the Great Wasteland City sighed bitterly and was about to take his leave,
Li Yun spoke again.
“City Lord, you may have misunderstood. I said I won't protect the Great Wasteland City, but I never said I wouldn't make a deal. Right now, I have something for sale. I wonder if the City Lord is interested in purchasing it?”
“Hm?”
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City, who had already taken a step forward, suddenly stopped. A look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
“May I ask, Senior, what is it?”
“A formation.”
Li Yun chuckled lightly, raising his hand. A faint glow flashed, and a piece of cloth appeared in his palm, covered with densely packed symbols and intricate lines.
At the moment it appeared,
Li Yun casually tossed it toward the Lord of the Great Wasteland City.
The Lord of the Great Wasteland City reached out to catch the cloth, examined it carefully, and beads of cold sweat began to form on his forehead. He suddenly looked up, his voice trembling as he said,
“Senior, this... this is a Saint-level formation?”
