237: Star Stone? Guo Yongsi!

"Brother Qi, it's been two years, and you are as elegant as ever, haha."

"Brother Lu, what brings you here today?"

Lu Hao did not beat around the bush and said directly:

"Brother Qi, have you managed to collect the four types of Materials I troubled you to investigate earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuda chuckled, took three types of Materials out of his Storage Pouch, tossed them to Lu Hao, and said:

"Brother Lu, to be honest, because the Ancient Pill Sect has been collecting everything everywhere, our Miao Dan Sect has fallen a step behind, and in the end, we only managed to find three of the Materials for you."

"As for the last one, the heavenly star stone, it was already an extremely rare item before the Eastern Region shattered. Our Miao Dan Sect has tried its best."

"In the past two years, we only heard one piece of news, but by the time we rushed there, that heavenly star stone had already been bought by someone else."

Hearing Qi Yuda's words, Lu Hao felt slightly disappointed, but he still cupped his hands and said:

"I thank you again, Brother Qi. I am already extremely grateful that you could find three types of Materials for me. As for the remaining heavenly star stone, I will search for it myself."

"Haha, Brother Lu, you are too polite!"

After accepting the Materials, Lu Hao also took an item out of his Storage Pouch.

"Brother Qi, this is a Dao Grade Cultivation Technique. Please accept it as a token of my gratitude. I hope you will not refuse and will definitely accept it!"

"This... wh... what? What Cultivation Technique?!?"

Qi Yuda suspected he had misheard. A Dao Grade Cultivation Technique?!?

The value of such a supreme treasure was far higher than a Nine-Rank Pill Formula! This... was it just being gifted to him like this?

Just because he helped him find a few types of Materials?

Could such a good thing exist under the heavens?

Qi Yuda wanted to refuse, but the words of refusal seemed stuck at his lips, unable to be spoken.

Meanwhile, his hands seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, trembling as they reached toward the Cultivation Technique in Lu Hao's hand...

Qi Yuda had always felt that his composure was quite strong, and he believed that there were very few things in this world that could affect his Dao Heart.

But only now did he realize that it wasn't that his composure was good, but that the stakes were simply not high enough...

Seeing this, Lu Hao directly shoved the Cultivation Technique over.

"Brother Qi, don't be so polite, hurry up and put it away!"

"O... okay, thank you, Brother Lu!!"

"There is no time to lose, so I will not linger here any longer. Once I successfully refine a Nine-Rank Pill, I will come back to have a good drink with you!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuda also laughed happily:

"Hahaha, if Brother Lu can truly refine a Nine-Rank Pill by his own power, that would be the greatest blessing since the birth of our Danling State!"

"Then I shall wait here in advance for Brother Lu's success!"

Lu Hao flew out of the Miao Dan Sect with a smile, while at the same time, a figure followed closely behind, silently tracking Lu Hao.

Lu Hao activated his Sky-Piercing Ship, preparing to go to the Danyang Ancient Region to pay a high price to post a bounty to search for that heavenly star stone, but as soon as he landed on the Sky-Piercing Ship, his brows suddenly furrowed!

Lu Hao slowly turned his head, looked behind the ship, and said indifferently:

"Fellow Daoist, since you have come, show yourself. Why hide your head and show your tail?"

"Hehehe, Fellow Daoist Lu is truly remarkable. This old man's concealment technique is peerless in Danling State, yet I was still discovered by you."

As the words were spoken, an old man slowly appeared in Lu Hao's line of sight.

But what Lu Hao found strange was that this person had no Physical Body, and observing the state of his Soul, it was not a complete Divine Soul either, but rather somewhat incomplete!

Appearing before Lu Hao was, in fact, a remnant Soul.

The old man had an appreciative expression on his face as he kept sizing up Lu Hao.

Lu Hao was a bit creeped out by his gaze and quickly said:

"Senior, what is your purpose in following me? If you do not give me a reason, do not blame me for taking action!"

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly waved his hand and said:

"Hahaha, have you forgotten? We have met before!"

Huh? Lu Hao was confused and asked:

"Have we met? When? Why do I have no impression of it?"

Heavenly Eye of Unveiling!

"Guo Yongsi, first-generation Sect Master of the Miao Dan Sect, Void Realm, remnant Soul state, not in a Bottleneck period!"

What?

This old man was actually the first-generation Sect Master of the Miao Dan Sect? That was a figure from a very long time ago!

His cultivation was actually Void Realm, and this person was the most profound cultivator Lu Hao had ever seen to date.

But how could such a figure be in the state of a remnant Soul? What exactly happened to him?

A bit of curiosity rose in Lu Hao's heart.

But he shouldn't know him, so why did this old man say they had met?

While Lu Hao was using the Heavenly Eye of Unveiling to view the person's true identity, the old man's Divine Soul also slowly solidified, and finally, a familiar figure appeared in Lu Hao's sight.

"What! It's actually you?!?"

Lu Hao was shocked; the person before him now was actually the owner of that tavern from before!

He was the one who sold the eighteen fragrance to Lu Hao. After the Pill Gathering ended, Lu Hao had looked for him again because he had run out of his wine.

Having gotten used to drinking this high-quality eighteen fragrance, Lu Hao felt that other wines were lacking something, but ultimately, there was no trace of him.

"Little brother, do you recognize me now?"

"Haha, I recognize you, I recognize you. I looked for you for quite a while. I wonder if you still have that wine?"

Upon hearing this, the old man waved his hand, and thousands of jars of fine wine instantly flew out of his Storage Pouch, landing neatly on the ship.

"I thought you would first resolve the confusion in your heart, but I didn't expect your first action to be asking me for wine. You really are..."

Lu Hao was not embarrassed at all and said happily:

"Senior, you are also someone obsessed with wine, so by logic, you should be able to understand me."

As he spoke, Lu Hao directly picked up two jars of wine, handed one to Guo Yongsi, and then took out a small table, saying:

"Come, come, Senior Guo, let's drink and talk."

As he spoke, Lu Hao took out an unremarkable mirror and placed it casually to the side.

Heart-Questioning Mirror! An Immortal Grade Magic Treasure, its only function is lie detection!

With Guo Yongsi's Void Realm cultivation, it was absolutely impossible for him to escape the detection of the Heart-Questioning Mirror.

Lu Hao was a cautious person, so naturally, he would not just believe whatever others said!

What's more, he was now facing the Old Ancestor of the Miao Dan Sect, an old monster who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. In short, being careful was never wrong.

Guo Yongsi and Lu Hao sat opposite each other. After each took a hearty drink, Guo Yongsi asked in confusion:

"Little brother, how did you know this old man's surname is Guo? There are definitely not many people who know about this."

"Guo Yongsi, Senior Guo, I not only know your surname, I even know your given name, hahaha. As for why? Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed!"
