"Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire?"
Hearing the intelligence from Liu Ye, Mo Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, then calmly said, "Do you know anything about the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire?"
Seeing Mo Yu's calm expression, Liu Ye couldn't help but be stunned. In his opinion, Mo Yu refining the Fire Restricting Cover and traveling thousands of miles from the Jia Ma Empire to the Mu Lan Empire must be related to the strange fire he knew about.
However, the young man's calm expression after hearing about the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire seemed indifferent.
This meant that he had most likely guessed wrong, and the young man's goal was not the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire. Of course, there was also a possibility that the young man was extremely cunning and had reached a state where his emotions were not revealed.
Thinking of this, Liu Ye's opinion of Mo Yu couldn't help but increase in importance.
Compared to his arrogant son, who wore all his emotions on his sleeve, Mo Yu's mindset was simply not what a peer should have.
"Perhaps you've also heard some information about a strange fire hidden in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range?" Looking at Mo Yu's inscrutable expression, Liu Ye simply stopped probing and said directly.
The Mo Yu in front of him simply didn't seem like a young man under twenty, but rather like an old monster, making him difficult to fathom.
"Mm." Mo Yu nodded. Hearing the place name Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, his expression slightly changed. He had previously asked Xun'er for help to find out the location of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire. Since Liu Ye said so, he obviously knew some information.
Mo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "Does Clan Chief Liu know where the strange fire in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range is?"
"My father enjoyed collecting rare Artifact Refining Materials from various places during his lifetime, so he explored the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Ten years ago, he fortunately obtained some information about a strange fire. He surveyed the locations and routes mentioned in this information. Although he still couldn't be entirely certain of the exact location of the strange fire, he could roughly determine which areas had a higher probability of possessing it," Liu Ye said with a proud smile.
"The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range is a vast region no less than the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Without this information, you would struggle to find the strange fire even if you searched for a year..."
"How about it? As long as you lend the Fire Restricting Cover's Artifact Refining Recipe to my Liu family for a look, I will give you all the strange fire information my father researched for many years," Liu Ye said with a slight smile.
"Alright!"
After a moment of thought, Mo Yu slowly nodded. Although he had the information given by Xun'er, it was, after all, something that an Ancient Clan Elder encountered hundreds of years ago, so there would likely be significant errors.
However, the information provided by Liu Ye was the latest news from about ten years ago. This value was worth a Tier 3 Artifact Refining Recipe.
Seeing Mo Yu agree, Liu Ye smiled and nodded. He lightly rummaged in his embrace, finally pulling out a thin piece of parchment and handing it to Mo Yu, saying with a smile, "According to my father's survey, there are three places in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range most likely to contain a strange fire."
Taking the parchment, Mo Yu carefully unfolded it and found it was an extremely detailed map of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. This map was unlike ordinary maps; it not only accurately marked the locations of human towns in the mountain range but also meticulously marked the powerful Demonic Beasts within the mountain range.
"Do you see the three flame symbols on the map?" Liu Ye reminded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu's gaze swept across the map and indeed found three extremely conspicuous flame symbols in the east, west, and north directions on the map.
"These three places are where the strange fire is most likely hidden in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range." Pointing to the three flame symbols, Liu Ye smiled and said, "Of course, these are just places deduced from my father's survey, and the accuracy cannot reach 100%. However, compared to you blindly searching, it is undoubtedly much better."
Mo Yu nodded slightly. Although he had Xun'er's information, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was so vast that it was indeed extremely difficult to find a place where a strange fire existed. Liu Ye's detailed map would undoubtedly save him a lot of time and energy.
"You must remember, it's best to go to the eastern and western flame marked areas first. As for the northern area... if possible, try not to go there," Liu Ye said gravely, his finger resting on the northern flame.
"Why?"
"Because that area is close to the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and it is inhabited by the extremely domineering and powerful Lizard Snake Clan. The king of the Lizard Snake Clan is a Tier 6 Demonic Beast, named the Black Lizard Demon Snake King.
The Black Lizard Demon Snake King can sense the Qi of any human who enters its territory. Although your talent is strong and your background is extraordinary, I don't think you have much chance of escaping if you encounter that terrifying Lizard King," Liu Ye said cautiously.
"Hmm... I'll try my best."
Mo Yu nodded slightly, but in his heart, he knew that if he couldn't find traces of the strange fire in the other two locations, there was a high probability he would go to the northern flame-marked area. Moreover, the north was precisely where Xun'er told him the approximate location of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire was.
Even if it was fraught with danger, he would still enter without hesitation, because the strange fire, or more precisely, the Vermillion Bird Sky-Burning Lightning, held an irresistible attraction for him.
However, the Lizard Snake Clan and the Black Lizard Demon Snake King made Mo Yu much more cautious. Lizards are close relatives of snakes, and can even evolve into snakes. And judging by its name, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King clearly possessed both Lizard and Snake Bloodlines, making it an extremely troublesome opponent.
"This is all my information. I hope you successfully obtain the strange fire." Looking at Mo Yu carefully putting away the map, Liu Ye smiled and said, "I have told you all the information I possess. As for the Fire Restricting Cover's Artifact Refining Recipe...?"
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. However, the Fire Restricting Cover's Artifact Refining Recipe is kept by my Master. If Clan Chief Liu needs it now, give me a blank piece of parchment, and I will present the Fire Restricting Cover's Artifact Refining Recipe shortly."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Liu Ye was stunned. What the former meant was that he would transcribe a Tier 3 Artifact Refining Recipe himself? But that would require at least a Tier 3 Artifact Refiner's Soul Power to do.
However, he immediately thought that the young man had already refined a Tier 3 weapon, so transcribing a Tier 3 Artifact Refining Recipe was not impossible. Thinking of this, Liu Ye was shocked by the young man's terrifying talent for a long time.
"Alright, Little Brother Mo Yu, please wait a moment."
This was precisely his study as the Clan Chief, so after a moment, Liu Ye found a blank piece of parchment and handed it to the young man.
Taking the parchment from Liu Ye, Mo Yu nodded. Then, in front of the latter, he used Soul Power as ink and his finger as a pen, transcribing the Materials and refining methods of the Fire Restricting Cover one by one.
Feeling Mo Yu's powerful Soul Power, Liu Ye, who was standing by, couldn't help but be stunned. This powerful sensation even made him feel a hint of pressure.
"What a freak. What kind of person can cultivate such a Disciple?" Liu Ye sighed in his heart.
As time slowly passed, about a quarter of an hour later, Mo Yu withdrew his Soul Power and handed the parchment covered with text to the other party.
"Fire Restricting Cover Artifact Refining Recipe!" Liu Ye took the Artifact Refining Recipe from Mo Yu, read it carefully, and after confirming its authenticity, his Face immediately filled with smiles.
Exchanging information of uncertain authenticity for a top-tier Tier 3 Artifact Refining Recipe was simply a profitable deal.
One must know that even after the Liu family's Legacy for so long, they only possessed about ten Tier 3 Artifact Refining Recipes, and not a single one of them could compare to the value of the Fire Restricting Cover.
"Hehe, thank you, Little Friend Mo Yu. From now on, the gates of my Liu family will always be open for you. The Liu family is willing to be Little Friend Mo Yu's eternal friend," Liu Ye said with a smile.
"We both got what we wanted. This Junior will always remember Clan Chief Liu's help," Mo Yu said with a smile, nodding. This transaction was mutually beneficial, and he was in a very good mood.
Of course, Mo Yu would not completely trust the map given by Liu Ye. After all, one should not harbor malicious intentions, but one must always be on guard.
Carefully putting away the Fire Restricting Cover's Artifact Refining Recipe, Liu Ye looked at Mo Yu and smiled, "Lunch should be ready. Little Friend Mo Yu, why don't you have a simple meal here?"
"Gladly," Mo Yu said with a smile, nodding.
At this moment, in the main hall, when they saw Mo Yu and Liu Ye entering harmoniously, everyone's eyes widened.
When did Mo Yu, who was just at loggerheads with the Liu family, become treated so courteously by the Clan Chief?
Apparently, this scene was incredible to both the Liu family members and the two Young Misses, Snow Charm and Lin Fei.
Entering the hall, the enormous dining table, capable of seating dozens of people simultaneously, was already laden with various delicacies. Around the table, Qing Lin and the other two Young Misses, along with Liu Fa and other high-ranking members of the Liu family, as well as some outstanding Juniors, were seated.
And when Young Master Liu Xu saw Mo Yu's intimate demeanor with his father, and recalled the punishment of his second brother Liu Xing, the jealousy in his eyes intensified. However, when Mo Yu looked over, he quickly hid the hatred in his eyes and slightly lowered his head.
Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled disdainfully. This Liu family scoundrel was clearly someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong, posing no threat to him. He then shifted his gaze to the table full of delicacies.
As soon as he entered the hall, the aroma of the food wafted over. As a prominent Family in West Desolate City, the Liu family's culinary hospitality was undoubtedly impeccable.
"Little Friend Mo Yu, please take the honored seat!" At this moment, Liu Ye pointed to the two seats at the head of the table and smiled at Mo Yu.
These words once again astonished everyone present. The honored seats at the head of the table were reserved for extremely important guests, and Mo Yu was merely a young man under twenty. How could he be qualified to sit alongside the Clan Chief?
Mo Yu merely smiled faintly at the crowd's questioning, then sat down in the seat next to Liu Ye.
According to his status in his previous life, being able to eat at the Liu family was a huge Face.
Seeing Mo Yu sit down, Liu Ye smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and a maid brought up a bottle of fragrant aged wine.
Opening the aged wine, Liu Ye then enthusiastically began to entertain Mo Yu with drinks.
Seeing this, the white-haired Elder Liu on the side chuckled. He had already guessed that the Clan Chief had probably obtained what he wanted.
Snow Charm looked at Liu Ye, who was calling her father 'brother' and was now entering and exiting with Mo Yu, even drinking and chatting with him. Her beautiful eyes lit up, and her impression of the young man undoubtedly deepened.
This was a ruthless person who single-handedly stirred up conflict between the Ye Family and the Mo Family, and finally powerfully annihilated the Mo Family. He was not as handsome and tender as he appeared on the outside.
After three rounds of drinks and five courses, Mo Yu looked at Qing Lin and the others, who had eaten their fill, and cupped his hands to Liu Ye, saying, "Clan Chief Liu, thank you for your hospitality. This Junior and the others should take our leave now."
"Oh? Little Friend Mo Yu, won't you stay here for a few more days? There are many beautiful sights in Shuyang city, and my Liu family has many guest rooms, enough for Little Friend Mo Yu and Niece Snow Charm to enjoy yourselves for a few days," Liu Ye said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mo Yu shook his head slightly and apologized, "This Junior still has important matters to attend to, so I thank Clan Chief Liu for your kindness."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Liu Ye nodded. He naturally knew what Mo Yu's important matters were, most likely related to the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
"In that case, I won't keep you." Liu Ye smiled, then looked at Snow Charm beside him and handed her a parchment letter.
"Niece Snow Charm, this is the annulment letter you need. When you return to your Family, please convey my regards to your father. As for this Tiger Strength Pill, please thank your Master for me."
Taking the letter from Liu Ye's hand, a smile bloomed on Snow Charm's delicate Face, like a snow lotus blossoming on an icy mountain.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. My father has always spoken fondly of you. Your niece will certainly convey your regards to him. As for the Tiger Strength Pill, it was originally a gift from your niece to you, so I naturally won't take it back."
With the engagement successfully annulled, a mere Tiger Strength Pill was naturally not something Snow Charm cared about. Her Master was a Tier 4 Alchemist, so she certainly wouldn't lack a Tier 4 Medicinal Pill.
Snow Charm was very satisfied to get the annulment letter, and Mo Yu not only completed Great Master Frank's task but also obtained some information about the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, making him equally satisfied.
As for Liu Ye, he was beaming with joy after obtaining a top-tier Tier 3 Artifact Refining Recipe from Mo Yu.
After everyone was happy, under Liu Ye's personal farewell, Mo Yu and the four of them, including Snow Charm, left the Liu family's main gate together.
After walking a few streets away from the Liu family, Mo Yu paused and looked at Snow Charm and Lin Fei beside him, saying, "Miss Xue Mei, Great Master Frank's task for me has been completed. I still have matters to attend to, and it's time for us to part ways."
Next, he was going to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, so he naturally wouldn't bring two burdens. Moreover, Snow Charm's Family, Shuyang city, was in the opposite direction of his journey.
Hearing this, Lin Fei immediately pouted unhappily, as if dissatisfied with Mo Yu abandoning them now that his task was complete.
Snow Charm's expression also froze slightly, then she smiled somewhat stiffly, "Yes... yes, thank you very much for your help this time, Mo Yu. If you have a chance to come to Shuyang city, remember to visit the Xue Family. I will personally thank you."
Mo Yu smiled, nodded slightly, then waved to the two Young Misses, Snow Charm and Lin Fei, before walking away with Qing Lin into the distance.
Looking at Mo Yu slowly disappearing, Snow Charm sighed helplessly. On her usually cold and beautiful Face, a hint of reluctance subtly appeared...
