Stellar Transformation-Chapter 545: Episode 16 - 6 Rewards
Huangfu Ling, who was sitting with Huangfu Jing, now stood up and said, "Father, Aunt, stop quarreling, I heard that this Qin Yu is very powerful. The formations he sets up are impenetrable, even to Upper Heavenly Gods. Just with this skill alone, Sister Xue Yu and Big Brother Dong Hou can’t break through. I am wholeheartedly in favor of Qin Yu becoming the Hall Master of Lanxuan Hall!"
"Even your feet, you little girl," Baihua God King Huangfu Liu Xiang also started laughing.
Qin Yu watched Huangfu Ling with a smile, finding her to be a truly adorable little girl.
At that moment, Huangfu Liehuo spoke in a carefree manner, "Why make it so complicated? Keep it simple, let them battle it out. Whoever is stronger gets to be the Hall Master. Wouldn’t that resolve everything?"
Qin Yu, who had been listening carefully, smiled inwardly upon hearing Huangfu Liehuo’s suggestion.
If there really were a contest, he would simply set up a grand formation, making it impossible for the two of them to escape, no matter how they resisted. Within the formation, they would be at his mercy.
The eyes of East Pole Saint Emperor Huangfu Yu lit up, and he nodded, saying, "Good, let’s use Liehuo’s method then, and let them..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Good? What’s so good?" Huangfu Liu Xiang interrupted the East Pole Saint Emperor.
Glancing at East Pole Saint Emperor Huangfu Yu, Huangfu Liu Xiang said, "Big Brother, you clearly know that Qin Yu can create an Array Space. The likelihood of Xue Yu and Dong Hou winning is far too low. You’re intentionally trying to make Qin Yu win."
"Liu Xiang, then what do you suggest we do?" East Pole Saint Emperor ’Huangfu Yu’ looked at Huangfu Liu Xiang.
Qin Yu also turned his gaze to the Baihua God King, curious about what method she would come up with to choose the Hall Master for Lanxuan Hall.
After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Liu Xiang said, "Lanxuan Hall is one of the four great halls; not only should it have a Hall Master, but it also needs a large number of subordinates. This is the only way not to diminish the reputation of our four halls in Xuanjin Mountain."
"Since there are subordinates, we should examine the overall quality of the subordinates. Let’s do it this way... set up three contests: one contest for the Hall Master candidates, one for the Middle Level Heavenly Gods, and one for the Lower Heavenly Gods."
"In these three contests, the side that wins two out of three will be considered the victorious party. Qin Yu’s side, Dong Hou’s side, and Xue Yu’s side will take turns battling each other, and the side with the most victories will become the Hall Master. How’s that?" Huangfu Liu Xiang had a slight smile on her face.
Xue Yu was her disciple, and as a Divine King, it would be effortless for her to find strong Middle Level Heavenly Gods and Lower Heavenly Gods.
"Like this?" East Pole Saint Emperor Huangfu Yu’s brow furrowed.
His sister was determined to help Xue Yu. With a Divine King set on aiding someone, the lineup she would put forth was bound to be extraordinary. It would definitely be difficult for Qin Yu to win.
And what about Dong Hou? Practically the entire Heavenly God Army was behind him; selecting the strongest among the Middle and Lower Heavenly Gods would undoubtedly result in an impressive team.
What kind of lineup could Qin Yu put together?
Suddenly, East Pole Saint Emperor spoke up, "Qin Yu has come to my Xuanjin Mountain, and I haven’t given him anything yet, so I will start by giving him a squad of guards..."
"Big Brother, you can’t be so blatantly biased," Huangfu Liu Xiang said with a smile, "Whether it’s Qin Yu, Dong Hou, or my disciple Xue Yu, the people they send must be personally invited by them and have agreed to join. Outsiders can’t force their orders! Neither I, Big Brother, nor Second Brother should interfere."
East Pole Saint Emperor ’Huangfu Yu’ was so frustrated he couldn’t speak.
No help at all?
Xue Yu had been with the Baihua God King for too long; who among those in the Baihua Royal Mansion didn’t have a good relationship with Xue Yu? Who wouldn’t help if Xue Yu asked?
Dong Hou need not be mentioned.
And Qin Yu, who does he know? Why would anyone help Qin Yu?
"Holy Emperor, there’s no need to force this issue. If the position is meant for me, I’ll get it; if not, then it was never mine to begin with. Let’s do as Baihua God King suggested; whoever I dispatch must agree to it themselves," Qin Yu said aloud.
Huangfu Liu Xiang immediately laughed, "Second Brother, did you hear that? Brother Qin Yu himself has agreed." As he spoke, Huangfu Liu Xiang gave Qin Yu a smile, "Little Brother Qin Yu is indeed reasonable."
East Pole Saint Emperor glanced at Qin Yu and sighed.
Huangfu Jing also sent an indignant divine sense transmission to Qin Yu, "Qin Yu, you might have recruited some people, but at best, they are just those Heavenly Gods who act as bandits, right? How high can the standard be if you select from those people? My aunt, her disciples are all elites. That Xue Yu is even treated like a daughter by my aunt, and she even has a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure!"
Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?
Qin Yu was slightly surprised in his heart.
It seemed he had underestimated the Baihua God King. A God King wanting to help a disciple, even if not openly, could command a terrifying amount of energy in secret.
Yet...
A smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face.
He was utterly confident!
The East Pole Saint Emperor could only helplessly smile and then said, "Well, since that’s the case, let’s decide it like this. As for the time of the competition, let’s set it to..."
"There’s no rush; it’s related to the position of the Lanxuan Hall Master, so we need to prepare well. How about this? One year from now, it won’t be too late to compete one year later," Huangfu Liu Xiang immediately said.
The East Pole Saint Emperor, unable to resist his sister’s wishes, could only nod, "Alright, alright, one year from now. A year from today we will decide the position of the Lanxuan Hall Master."
"Second Brother, then it’s settled. I’ll be leaving first," Huangfu Liu Xiang said with a smiling face as he stood up.
As Huangfu Liu Xiang passed by Qin Yu, he gave Qin Yu a slight smile and sent a divine sense message, "Young fellow, make sure to put in a good effort, don’t let your people lose too badly."
After that, the Baihua God King left.
"One year?" Qin Yu thought secretly, "One year outside, a hundred years in the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm. A hundred years of time, although it might not be enough for the Divine Power to completely transform, it is enough to refine Hua Lian’s Avatar."
Hua Lian’s Avatar, something Qin Yu had long wanted to refine.
According to the records in the Mishen Palace scroll, once Hua Lian’s Avatar is forged, its body would be nigh indestructible. After all, the Nine-leaf Lotus is equivalent to a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, and its core ’Lotus Heart’ is incredibly hard. An avatar refined from the Lotus Heart would be far sturdier than an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact.
Moreover, Hua Lian’s Avatar would innately possess its unique domain.
"With this Hua Lian’s Avatar, even if I were to face Upper Heavenly Gods one-on-one, I would have no fear," Qin Yu was extremely confident in his heart. A toughness surpassing Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts could not possibly be torn apart by space rifts.
Hua Lian’s Avatar, in essence, is a humanoid Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure!
"However, during the competition, it is not worth using Hua Lian’s Avatar." This Hua Lian’s Avatar, unless it is a critical moment, there’s no need to reveal it.
Especially when Hua Lian’s Avatar is equipped with the Residual Snow Divine Spear and, on top of that, the Instantaneous Technique!
Defense, attack, speed, none are anything but the best. Such an existence can completely sweep through the Upper Heavenly Gods, and even when facing a Divine King, they can put up a good fight.
This is Qin Yu’s ultimate strength, yet even so, Qin Yu wouldn’t easily reveal it.
Without Hua Lian’s Avatar, Qin Yu’s weakest point is his own defense; no matter how tough his body is, it can’t withstand Space Destruction. His body isn’t a Spiritual Treasure after all.
"The important thing is to refine Hua Lian’s Avatar," Qin Yu thought secretly, "Once this East Pole Saint Emperor arranges accommodation, I will start focusing on refining Hua Lian’s Avatar."
"Qin Yu."
Just then, the East Pole Saint Emperor spoke, and Qin Yu immediately snapped out of his thoughts.
"I’m very pleased that you’re willing to come to my Xuanjin Mountain. I’ve prepared a gift for you, and I hope you will like it." The East Pole Saint Emperor waved his hand casually, and a large black chest appeared in the pavilion.
Not just Qin Yu, but everyone else also looked at this large black chest with curiosity. The East Pole Saint Emperor’s gesture would surely be extraordinary—what was inside?
"Qin Yu, feel free to open it," said the East Pole Saint Emperor with a smile.
"Thank you, Holy Emperor," Qin Yu said, stepping forward without any reluctance to open the large black chest with all due propriety.
"Clang—" As the chest opened, everyone’s gaze, aside from the East Pole Saint Emperor’s smiling one, turned to peer inside.
Golden Scroll.
The chest was neatly filled with golden scrolls, a whole chestful of them. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Qin Yu knew that there were more than a thousand scrolls inside.
At that moment, Qin Yu was actually quite delighted.
For ordinary Heavenly Gods, what is most precious? It’s not Divine Spirit Stones, but these books. The golden scrolls contained the experiences of many predecessors.
Take Qin Yu, for example, if he hadn’t accessed the nine hundred volumes of "Array Dao," how could he have stepped into the Array Dao’s doorway? Without some research on arrays, he probably wouldn’t even understand the principle of an Eighth Level Formation. If he couldn’t understand it, even if he knew the Space Law of the Qiankun World, he wouldn’t be able to set up an Array Space.
And sometimes when some Heavenly Gods obtain a single golden scroll, they would be overjoyed.
"Holy Emperor, what is inside these?" Qin Yu exclaimed with surprise.
The East Pole Saint Emperor revealed a slight smile and said, "This is all the scrolls pertaining to Artifact Refining from my East Pole Xuanjin Mountain, books regarding methods of Artifact Refining. Of course, it doesn’t include any on formations, that would be a joke to you."
"All of these are about Artifact Refining?" Qin Yu barely concealed the surprise in his heart.
"Yes, they are all about Artifact Refining," the East Pole Saint Emperor said with a smile.
The underlying intention behind the East Pole Saint Emperor’s invitation to Qin Yu had become quite evident—he hoped Qin Yu would take up Artifact Refining! An Array Master wasn’t very useful, but an Artifact Refining Master, especially one who reached the level of an ’Artisan God,’ would be of great use.
It was very likely to turn an Array Master into an Artifact Refining Master.
Qin Yu glanced over at Uncle Fu, who also had excitement in his eyes.
The Path of Artifact Refining, while Artisan God Che Hou Yuan was formidable, his findings were the result of his own solitary research. There were altogether more than four hundred scrolls on Artifact Refining.
Artisan God Che Hou Yuan’s refining was formidable, but his astonishing achievement wasn’t in Artifact Refining. It was in the Array Dao that he had made remarkable accomplishments. When it came to the Path of Artifact Refining... compared to the Huangfu Family, which has existed in the Divine World since its inception, Che Hou Yuan might not necessarily be superior.
"Drawing on the strengths of many, the more you read, the better," Qin Yu said happily as he waved his hand and collected the large black chest.
"Thank you, Holy Emperor, for your generous gift. I will diligently study this. I indeed have a great interest in Artifact Refining," Qin Yu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this from Qin Yu, the East Pole Saint Emperor Huangfu Yu burst into hearty laughter.
What he wanted was for Qin Yu to refine artifacts!
"Jing’er, assign that vacant mansion of mine in the West City district to Qin Yu, and take him there to take possession of it immediately. Let him live there from now on," said the East Pole Saint Emperor with a smile.
Huangfu Jing immediately stood up and said joyfully, "Yes, Father Emperor."
******
Wei Chi Gong Lan had already gone to meet his old friend, while Qin Yu and his party, led by the two ladies Huangfu Jing and Huangfu Ling, left the Imperial City and headed toward the West City district.
Xuanjin City wasn’t highly populated, and although the city spanned a thousand li, there were still a lot of places to reside. This meant that everyone’s dwellings occupied no small measure of land and came in weird and wonderful styles.
"Qin Yu, you shouldn’t have agreed so readily. My aunt can be a bit overbearing at times, but as long as you had spoken up, she would have eventually backed down. Now, how can you fight for the position of the Lanxuan Hall Master by relying solely on your own people?" Huangfu Jing regretfully told Qin Yu.
Huangfu Ling also nodded vigorously, showing her agreement.
Just as Qin Yu was about to speak, suddenly—"Big Brother, leave the fight with the Lower Heavenly God to me," Hei Yu’s voice sounded.
Qin Yu looked at Hei Yu. Even he couldn’t see through Little Black’s ’Flowing Light Spear Path.’ He was somewhat looking forward to seeing Little Black battle others.
"Alright, the fight against the Lower Heavenly God will be left to you!" Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Uncle Fu, once we get to the mansion, you take care of everything in the mansion. I will also release those Heavenly God Servants. After we return, I plan to enter seclusion for a while," Qin Yu said to Uncle Fu as they walked.
"Yes, Master," Uncle Fu replied respectfully.
In the depths of Qin Yu’s heart, he was always concerned about Hua Lian’s Avatar. In fact, apart from Hua Lian’s Avatar, Qin Yu also thought about that golden orb.
"That golden orb—I didn’t dare to touch it when I was at the Soul Golden Core Realm. Now that I’ve reached the Soul Infant level, I should be able to refine it." Qin Yu was growing ever more excited.
Hua Lian’s Avatar, that unheard of golden orb. Once refined, what would they bring to him?
