Chapter 223 - Taiyi Metal
He did not look displeased at all.
The others knew little of that Huaxian fighter who had caused a huge commotion out there for some time as of late, but not him; he knew all too well who that man was.
It was especially so after he learned of how his master managed to wreck the Seventh Fleet of the American Navy all alone. There was no doubt that this fact shocked him to the core.
At that moment, he came to see Lu Xuan as something like a god.
When Lu Xuan gave the order to search for any news regarding Taiyi Metal, he went on to mobilize all his relations and contacts to search for anything related to said metal.
It did not take him long to find the metal his master sought after. However, the owner of that piece of metal simply refused to sell it, regardless of the price offered.
That was why Lu Xuan went to Luo City personally.
Lu Xuan’s status was so high now that he could get his hands on any treasure the planet had to offer, so long as he bothered voicing such intentions.
But then again, she knew just how adamant the will of the man in front of her, and he definitely was not someone she could mobilize with simple conditions.
However, she simply had no other options. She was unable to think of anyone other than Lu Xuan being capable enough to kill that person, and take revenge for her family.
She would have been willing to do just about anything, even if she were to give everything she got to see her goals be achieved, which included even herself.
She deemed Lu Xuan to probably be the only man in the world capable of pulling off such a feat.
She had been wracking her brains to find a way to make an acquaintance with him ever since she came to know of him, eventually finding an opportunity to allow her to forge such a connection.
“In that case, I will gladly hand the Taiyi Metal over to you, Mr. Lu.” She continued, “Consider it a gift from a friend.”
“This is some ‘friend’ indeed.”
Lu Xuan took the wooden box that she handed over. There was a piece of a rock about the size of a grown man’s palm. It emanated a faint golden sheen.
“It is indeed a piece of Taiyi Metal.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
There were a lot of similar treasures throughout the world that directly connected to the workings of spirit qi. Due to the depletion of such spirit qi for the past several hundred years, such treasures became incredibly rare, and Taiyi Metal, which had been rare to begin, became something capable of fetching astronomical prices.
But then again, there was also no doubt about the potency of Taiyi Metal. Even tiny bits of the metal would have made Lu Xuan’s Bloodthirst even sharper than it already was.
The piece was not as huge as Lu Xuan expected it to be, but it nonetheless proved sufficient for the job.
“Well then, you can consider me a friend of yours now. But if you want to get my hands dirty, you need to bring more to the table,” Lu Xuan added.
