Chapter 1218: Hunting a King Level Beast (1/2)

Lu Yun had to conceal himself for now and refrain from revealing any flaws to anyone he wasn’t sure of.

The little fox had already revealed her true form in Zhuo Bufan’s residence—anyone who cared to could easily find out that she was also the one who’d appeared in Redbud City. That a Hongmeng Treasurehunter Rat followed the two of them would make identification even easier.

Thus, she purposefully stayed out of the meeting.

Miao Qimiao had plainly done some homework as well and discovered their background. His attitude grew even more respectful when armed with this knowledge.

……

“Miao Qimiao greets the honored elder.” Miao Qimiao bowed to Lu Yun.

“Are you here on business?” Lu Yun nodded to his visitor from a seated position and indicated for Miao Qimiao to sit as well.

“Yes.” The visiting elder took a surreptitious glance around and heaved a small sigh of relief to confirm that the beautiful young lady illusionist wasn’t around.

He was quite certain that the one in front of him was the supplemental grandmaster who’d set up the Nineturns Sky Curtain Formation formation in Redbud City. Not only had this guest elder withstood the tide of beasts, but he’d befriended the Redbud King and helped the Scorch King add a new city to his domain.

When his thoughts traveled here, and out of consideration for the other’s identity, Miao Qimiao assumed an even more humble posture.

“A very important business!” He emphasized and continued slowly after a deep breath, “You are a revered supplemental grandmaster, I’m sure you’ll be very interested in this.”

“You’re not about to tell me that you have a way to get the core of an arcane beast king, are you?” Lu Yun responded with a chuckle.

He already had access to the entire treasury of Starcloud City. If he wanted to, he could have Zhuo Bufan transfer resources from Scorching Sun City. The only thing that would interest him now would be something he needed that remained out of reach—the core of a king level arcane beast.

It was so rare and precious that it didn’t even exist in Scorching Sun’s treasury.

“Yes, precisely! The core of an arcane beast king!” Miao Qimiao nodded after a pause.

Lu Yun shot to his feet and fixed his eyes on his visitor. “Do you mean that? Do you really have clues to a core? Of an arcane beast king?”

“It looks like the revered supplemental grandmaster does indeed have use for it.” Miao Qimiao smiled.

Lu Yun nodded slowly and sat back down.

Miao Qimiao avoided beating around the bush. “An arcane beast king of Meteorite Peak is grievously wounded…”

“You want to hunt a king?” Lu Yun blinked.

The guest elder nodded. “I didn’t have the idea at first, but the thought occurred to me after I heard about the two revered grandmasters’ capabilities.”

“Are you certain of this?” Lu Yun rubbed his palms together. He really was very tempted.

A single drop of blood from an arcane beast king was already inordinately precious, to say nothing of an entire crystal core. If they could obtain the complete corpse of an arcane beast king, then he would be able to use his puppet art on it and create a king level puppet.

Since his cultivation level had yet to reach the Hongmeng, anything he killed in this realm wouldn’t become one of his Infernum.
