The former head of the Four Seas Pavilion was an old lady.

She was the one who arranged for Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan to participate in the "Nine Lives, One Survivor" trial in the North Wilderness.

When Wu Wang first received the Yan Emperor's order and built a new house for Senior Shen Nong, he had seen the figure of that old lady during a meeting of the high-level officials of the Human Realm convened by Senior Shen Nong.

At that time, the old lady directly contradicted Senior Shen Nong with her words, and poor Father-in-law could only endure it because he didn't have much life left.

Afterwards, Senior Shen Nong successfully extended his life and returned to the Human Realm, directly replacing the former head of the Four Seas Pavilion and strictly prohibiting the pavilion from conducting any more luck trials.

This is the reason behind Wu Wang's statement of "current or former".

If it was the former head of the Four Seas Pavilion, Wu Wang would directly present his Yan Emperor's order to avoid being "accidentally killed" by the other party.

If it was the current head, then he could meet them.

—In fact, just by listening to the voice transmission, Wu Wang could determine that the other party was a man, but he still had some concerns.

After a moment of silence in the attic, the voice transmission entered Wu Wang's ears again: "The poor Dao has just taken on the position of the head of the Four Seas Pavilion not long ago, so I should be the current head."

"Apologies."

Wu Wang arched his hand and gave Lin Suqing a reassuring look, then slowly pushed open the door in front of him.

A thin-faced old man stood in front of the main hall, surrounded by a faint and ethereal aura. With white hair and a red face, he wore a tall crown and a blue robe. Just by standing there, he exuded an otherworldly aura.

Wu Wang bowed and smiled, saying, "The whereabouts of this junior couldn't escape the Four Seas Pavilion's notice."

The pavilion head smiled and nodded, speaking warmly, "This poor Dao's Daoist name is Feng Yezi. I entered this place without the consent of Young Master Xiong, so please bear with me for any rudeness."

"Hahaha, Senior also didn't want to expose my identity. I should be grateful to Senior."

Wu Wang made a gesture of invitation with his hand, but he didn't feel any nervousness or restraint. His smile was quite cheerful as he walked to the main seat, sitting down together with Feng Yezi, who had walked to the guest seat.

Wu Wang understood that the senior didn't sit directly in the main seat and waited for him to return, so he knew that the other party must have something to ask for today.

Lin Suqing slightly bowed to Feng Yezi and turned to the side to make tea, her movements natural.

Having been with the young master for a long time, she didn't feel any nervousness when facing the powerful figures of the Human Realm.

"It's much less pressure than facing Lord Cang Xue."

Feng Yezi stroked his beard and smiled, his wide robe sleeves brushing past, already setting up a barrier in the attic, obviously not wanting anyone to overhear their conversation.

He said, "Young Master Xiong, at such a young age, to face the Evil God without any fear, truly admirable. That Liu Bairen keeps talking to me about various things, my ears are almost calloused."

"Liu Pavilion Master is too kind," Wu Wang laughed, "We men of the North Wilderness also have a rebellious spirit, only believing in Lord Star God. That Hissing Snake dares to call himself a god, it's truly laughable."

"Hahaha," Feng Yezi stroked his beard in admiration, "The Star God is relatively gentle in the North Wilderness, but it restricts the growth of the North Wilderness clan. It does not allow the North Wilderness creatures to cultivate.

Speaking of which, it's really surprising that Young Master Xiong can find a way to cultivate."

"But it's just a fluke."

Wu Wang narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "Senior being able to take on the heavy responsibility of the head of the Four Seas Pavilion and gaining the trust of Senior Shen Nong, you must be an extraordinary person. Your presence today is truly remarkable."

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

Lin Suqing, who was approaching with a tea cup, pursed her lips slightly.

"Is the communication between important figures always filled with insincere compliments? It's not genuine at all."

She showed a polite smile, approached Feng Yezi with a tray, and whispered, "Please have some tea, Senior."

"Thank you, Miss Lin," Feng Yezi said warmly, then his eyes lit up as he smiled, "This Miss Lin has a unique temperament and a bright light in her eyes. She is truly a rare talent in cultivation that appears once in a thousand years."

As he spoke, Feng Yezi took out a jade talisman.

"In this place, I have a technique called 'Phoenix Fragrance Art'. It seems to be destined for Miss Lin. I wonder if Miss Lin is interested in learning it?"

Here it comes, a move to test the waters!

Lin Suqing naturally didn't dare to accept it directly, but looked towards Wu Wang.

Wu Wang smiled and said, "When an elder offers guidance, it cannot be refused. Suqing, you happen to lack a high-level cultivation technique. The one given by Pavilion Head Feng Yezi will not disappoint you."

"Yes," Lin Suqing softly agreed, accepting the jade talisman and bowing to Feng Yezi, "Thank you, Senior Feng Yezi."

Feng Yezi nodded with a smile, already hearing the echo.

After Lin Suqing left, Feng Yezi sighed lightly, his face somewhat gloomy.

Wu Wang took the opportunity to continue the conversation, "Senior, is the situation in the northern region unstable?"

"It is stable," Feng Yezi sighed, "His Majesty personally presides over the northern region, and countless sons and daughters of the Human Realm are shedding blood and killing enemies in the northern region..."

"Senior," Wu Wang said seriously, "There are countless heroes and heroines here, it would be more appropriate to say."

"Yes, yes, half of the army is composed of women. I misspoke."

Feng Yezi reorganized his words and said, "But Young Master Xiong also knows that treasures and artifacts will wear out over time. The battle between the Human Realm and the Heavenly Emperor in the north has been going on for ages, and most of the precious mines and materials in the Human Realm have been mined. That's why His Majesty established our Four Seas Pavilion, to exchange minerals and spiritual herbs for elixirs, artifacts, and food in the Nine Wildernesses."

"Yes, are the mines not enough?" Wu Wang asked.

"That's right," Feng Yezi sighed slightly, "I came to visit today to ask Young Master Xiong for some leniency and ask the North Wilderness Mining Alliance to give us more shares. We are willing to pay a higher price."

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Since Senior found me, you should have already discovered my identity in the North Wilderness."

Feng Yezi nodded with a smile.

"I can help with this favor," Wu Wang said in a slow voice, "After coming to the Human Realm, I have also seen the difficulties faced by the Human Realm. Although I am a member of the North Wilderness clan, I am willing to help the Human Realm. How much can we increase the price?"

Feng Yezi was almost taken aback and said, "This...half."

"Don't misunderstand," Wu Wang said seriously, "If the Human Realm takes away a large amount of minerals without increasing the price, the Heavenly Palace may blame the North Wilderness."The outside is different from the Human Realm, and there is no power in the Human Realm that can resist the Heavenly Emperor.

Among the Mining Alliance, only the Great Wave Clan and our Bear Hug Clan are predominantly human, and all races are included."

"Understood, we all understand."

Feng Yezi sighed, "The Human Realm only wants to live peacefully here and has no intention of encroaching on the living space of all races. In that case, how about adding another ten percent?"

"Half is enough, we just need the pretext of the highest bidder."

Wu Wang smiled, "If I take advantage of the beast tide in the Human Realm to make some unjust wealth, I would also be ashamed of the human race."

Feng Yezi's eyes sparkled, and his smile became more natural.

In the conversation, Wu Wang took out a ring from his sleeve and pushed it to Feng Yezi with his mana.

"Give this to the main priest guarding the Mining Alliance. You don't need to say much, he will increase the purchase quota for the Human Realm by thirty percent."

"Oh?"

Feng Yezi felt like he had obtained a treasure and held the ring in his palm.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiong!"

Wu Wang smiled, "Senior is too polite. Beiyue has not suffered any losses either."

"About this," Feng Yezi paused and said, "Can we establish a long-term agreement between our two sides? The Human Realm has food, pills, herbs, and magical treasures. We can provide a continuous supply to Beiyue."

"These matters can be discussed with the Mining Alliance," Wu Wang said, "I am not in Beiyue right now, and I am only the young master of one clan. I cannot make decisions on behalf of the entire clan. However, if you show them this ring, they should not refuse."

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Feng Yezi laughed heartily and put the ring into his sleeve. He then took out a treasure bag.

He said, "Now that the business is done, I won't hide anything anymore. I didn't take out this item earlier because I was afraid that people would think that Young Master Xiong gave me more shares because I gave him benefits."

Feng Yezi gently pushed the treasure bag into Wu Wang's hand.

"What is this?"

"Young Master Xiong, open it and take a look."

The storage treasure bag was not restricted, and Wu Wang opened it with his fingers. He glanced at the treasures inside and his eyes lit up.

It was a complete set of precious armor, from the toe to the helmet, with a face mask on the helmet.

The armor was bright golden in color, with delicate gold pieces on it. If compared carefully, these gold pieces were exactly the same as the golden dragon scales that Wu Wang activated when he awakened his Star God bloodline, without any difference.

Feng Yezi lowered his voice and said:

"This armor was personally ordered by His Majesty. Twelve master craftsmen from the Human Realm were gathered to forge it for seventy-seven days. The materials used were all top-grade. Wearing it can withstand the attacks of divine weapons, and it doesn't require mana. It can even withstand attacks from Heavenly Immortals.

Its uses are endless, and Young Master Xiong can explore them on your own.

His Majesty also asked me to pass a message to Young Master Xiong... When facing the Evil God, he knows about it. Just focus on improving your own strength and don't worry about other matters.

If His Majesty sees Young Master Xiong next time and you haven't become an Immortal yet, then he will consider how to arrange a marriage for you."

Wu Wang's eyes widened, and he stood up and scolded, "How dare he!"

Feng Yezi was stunned on the spot.

Wu Wang realized that his words were too strong and forced a smile, saying in a gentle voice, "I mean, would the esteemed Shen Nong be such an untrustworthy elder?"

Feng Yezi forced an awkward smile.

According to rumors, the little golden dragon was highly favored by His Majesty, and they were like grandfather and grandson...

This rumor was probably true.

"Ahem, does Young Master Xiong have any other requests? Feel free to mention them to me."

"If Young Master Xiong doesn't have any, then Master Wuwang does."

Wu Wang said, "I need cultivation techniques from the Human Realm. Please convey this to the Heavenly Emperor, and he will understand which cultivation techniques to give me.

Also, it seems that the Ten Calamities Palace is targeting me now. I am restricted in using the Star-Praying Technique in the Human Realm. The power of the Star-Praying Technique is comparable to the techniques of True Immortals..."

Feng Yezi immediately said, "I have a disciple who has reached the Heavenly Immortal stage. I will send this disciple to be your personal bodyguard."

Ah, at the Heavenly Immortal stage, can't they just send a Transcendent?

The Human Realm is currently in need of people, and even if the Ten Calamities Palace has Transcendent experts, they usually don't show themselves. Having a bodyguard with strength close to that of the Great Elder who annihilated their sect would also bring peace of mind.

Wu Wang cupped his hands with a smile, "Thank you, Senior, for your understanding."

"By helping the Human Realm today, Young Master Xiong has relieved a lot of pressure for us. It is I who should thank Young Master Xiong."

"Ah, Senior is being too polite. How about staying and having a drink?"

Lin Suqing, who was sitting quietly by the stairs on the second floor, immediately stood up and hurried to Wu Wang's side.

Generally speaking, when hearing such a conversation, it meant that the host was sending off the guest.

Sure enough, the old man with immortal demeanor smiled and said, "No, no, I still have to rush to the Northern Territory to arrange manpower to go to Beiyue!"

...

Wu Wang couldn't see how the Pavilion Master of the Four Seas Pavilion left.

After the old man walked out of the attic, his figure turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated in the breeze, without disturbing Yang Wudi, who was sitting in a distant pavilion reading a book with a mischievous smile.

Perhaps, this is what it means to be a master.

"Hoo—"

Wu Wang let out a sigh of relief and slumped back into the wooden chair. "Dealing with such a master is really exhausting."

Lin Suqing giggled and closed the door with a casual hand, saying, "This senior is truly an immortal among immortals."

"What does 'immortal among immortals' mean?"

Wu Wang shook his head and muttered, "He talks about righteousness on the surface but only cares about business in his heart. If I had agreed to increase the price by ten percent just now, I wouldn't have obtained this armor.

Our Heavenly Emperor never suffers losses."

"Oh?"

Lin Suqing was a bit puzzled and wondered, "Isn't it said that the Heavenly Emperor is very kind?"

"Well, kind, but really kind."

Wu Wang slumped back into the chair, his mouth crooked, "Have you ever seen a kind old man who would tie an outstanding rising star like me to a tree and beat me for three hours?

He didn't even use mana and didn't hit any vital points! It made me sore! After I was sore, he gave me top-grade healing pills!

Is he kind? Bah!"

Lin Suqing burst into laughter, finding it hilarious, and took out the jade talisman of the "Phoenix Fragrance Technique" again.Wu Wang signaled her to keep it and laughed, saying:

"This should be a cultivation method suitable for women. Even if it's not a top-tier method, it should be a first-class one.

Starting from today, you should practice this method. It's easier for you to change since your cultivation level is low. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask. Don't try to comprehend it on your own.

Your talent is already quite good now. Maybe in the future, you could become a master in your own right, and you won't have to be like today, needing someone to escort you away when danger arises."

"Oh," Lin Suqing put away the jade talisman, feeling indifferent about it, "Becoming an immortal, that's something I dare not hope for."

"Imagination," Wu Wang waved his finger beside his head, "You need to have imagination. Go cultivate, I also need to seriously cultivate for a while.

The Elemental Infant realm is really too weak in the Human Realm."

Lin Suqing agreed and hummed a tune as she floated upstairs.

Wu Wang took out the many bottles and jars he had previously confiscated, felt each one, and was somewhat interested.

They were all diluted Evil God blood, containing very little essence.

Better than nothing, just average.

Then he took out the set of armor, looked left and right, but couldn't find any buttons. The armor was seamless, without any gaps.

This?

Do I crawl in from the helmet?

Wu Wang thought of some literary works he had seen in his previous life, bit his fingertip, and dripped a few drops of blood on it.

No reaction?

At the staircase, Lin Suqing poked her head out and whispered, "Young Master, I've heard that some high-level immortal treasures need to be refined with the Elemental Infant and stored in the spiritual platform."

Wu Wang:……

"What do you know."

The young master stuck out his neck, a slight sinister smile on his lips, "This is called a blood sacrifice."

Lin Suqing burst into laughter, stomping her feet on the second floor, causing quite a commotion.

Wu Wang's forehead was full of black lines, almost going up to teach her a lesson.

It seems, it's indeed time to let the old lady suffer a bit.

Wu Wang shook his head, pondering how to prank her while taking out a few crystal balls, setting up a barrier around him.

Then he sat cross-legged in front of the golden armor, first soaking it with his divine sense, then the Elemental Infant slowly flew out from his chest, connecting with the golden armor with golden threads.

The loft was filled with golden light, but it quickly disappeared, not disturbing Yang Wudi, who was holding a book, giggling and blushing outside.

Good guy... this is the guard?

After Wu Wang stored the golden armor in his spiritual platform, he floated behind Yang Wudi with his hands behind his back, not startling Yang Wudi, but whispered in his ear:

"Your offerings for the year after next are gone."

The bald strong man stiffened, almost crying on the spot.

Wu Wang had already floated away with his hands behind his back, a satisfied smile on his face, heading towards the treasure hall of the Extinguishing Sect.
