“Old Tang doesn’t know the identity of that expert,” Yun Yue said, spreading his hands.
"You mean, have Brother Long impersonate that master?" Wukong asked.
"Of course not." Yun Yue waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Who is the Azure Dragon God? How could I dare to let it impersonate someone else?"
"So you mean..." Wukong asked, puzzled.
"Just say that the expert is a servant of the Azure Dragon God," Yun Yue said.
"Servants?" Yuexi pursed her lips and interjected, "Does the Tang family patriarch believe such a thing?"
“A token will suffice,” Yun Yue said. “It’s perfectly reasonable for a master to come and retrieve something his servant left behind, isn’t it? Besides, ancient records state that the Dark Abyss Dragon Soil was indeed formed after being stained with dragon blood.”
Wukong thought for a while, then shook his head: "That's not appropriate."
"What brilliant insights does the Great Sage have?" Yun Yue asked.
“Alright, I’ll take you to see the master, and we can also ask Brother Long for the token,” Wukong said, jumping off the table.
"What do you want to see Miss Bai for?" Yun Yue asked, puzzled. "Isn't it said that Miss Bai cultivates a mortal heart, and that we shouldn't mention many things in front of her?"
"Haven't you noticed yet? Master loves to buy things, and he always pays a premium for them," Wukong said. "I noticed this a long time ago, but I've been thinking about it day and night without finding a solution."
Yun Yue thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
He didn't know about the others, but Bai Qingqing's spending at their Cloud Auction House and her purchase of pearls from Yunshang were all considered extravagant.
"Have you figured out a solution yet?" Yun Yue asked hurriedly.
"Hmm." Wukong nodded: "But I wasn't sure at the time, so I checked with Sister Tao in the end."
"Why?" Yuexi asked curiously.
"Sister Tao said that the Heavenly Dao of this world has collapsed, so the path to immortality has been severed, and the spiritual veins have also been damaged." Wukong said, "Master is scattering high-grade spirit stones to repair the world's spiritual veins."
"Qingqing wants to repair this world?" Yuexi exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes." Wukong nodded.
Yuexi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this...is this a task assigned to Qingqing by the Heavenly Dao?"
Yun Yue pursed her lips, desperately trying to deny it in her heart, but ultimately didn't dare to say it aloud.
If his previous guess was wrong, he'll be struck by lightning for saying it.
Wukong shook his head and said, "Sect Master's wife, Master is a supreme being, and Heaven has no right to be his."
Startled, Yuexi waved her hands repeatedly and hurriedly looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear and cloudless.
"The master's status is higher than you can imagine; he is someone we can never reach," Wukong said. "Even the Heavenly Dao has to be a sycophant."
Yun Yue nodded in agreement.
He had thought about this while he was at the Canglan River, but he didn't have the guts of Wukong and didn't dare to say it so openly.
The main difference is that he and Wukong have different identities.
It's fine for Wukong to say this, but if he dared to say it, he might get struck by lightning.
"Qingqing, Qingqing, she..." Yuexi stammered for a long time, but couldn't say anything.
"Sect Master's wife, the Master came into this world through your womb, which is an act of saving the world. As a result, you will also have great merit in the future," Wukong said.
"I didn't think that much about it." Yuexi tucked a stray hair behind her ear and said, "As a mother, I only hope that my children are healthy and safe, and that our family will live a long and happy life together."
"With the master here, it definitely will," Wukong said confidently.
"By the way, that old man in black?" Yuexi suddenly remembered him and asked, pursing her lips.
"That was our master's spirit pet in disguise, just to remind us not to disturb our master's cultivation of mortal thoughts," Wukong said.
She asked Sister Tao the same question at the time.
This was answered by Sister Peach herself.
Little did it know that Sister Peach's answer was only half true.
The "uncle in black" that Bai Qingqing made up was actually played by Xiao Hao later on.
As for that divine thought from fifteen years ago, it had no way of knowing.
It has now sealed its divine power in this world, so it is unable to make detailed calculations.
So they didn't investigate further.
It will make calculations once the world has stabilized.
Although it cannot make a precise calculation, it has a general idea in mind, but it cannot be verified at the moment.
"I see." Yuexi nodded. No wonder even with the clan's resources, they couldn't find that so-called divine thought back then.
If it were the "Peach Goddess" and her group, they naturally wouldn't be able to find them.
"So, you want me to directly reveal the Dark Abyss Dragon Soil to Miss Bai, and then Miss Bai can purchase it?" Yun Yue concluded.
"Yes." Wukong nodded: "After all, we can't let old man Tang suffer a loss."
Even if it was entrusted by a master back then, times have changed, and it is now the Tang family's heirloom.
It's not fair for them to just take it for free.
Yun Yue was taken aback.
"Let's go find our master," Wukong said as he walked out, his little paws dangling behind his back.
"Oh." Yun Yue nodded and followed closely behind.
"Sect Master's wife, please complete the roster first. I'll be back soon." As he reached the door, Wukong turned back and said.
"Okay, I understand." Yuexi nodded.
Both of them were at the half-step immortal realm, and Tianyuan City was located at the foot of Tianhen Mountain, so flying to Xingyue Sect would not take much time at all.
However, upon reaching the back gate of the Star Moon Sect, Yun Yue remembered something and turned back to the Cloud Auction House once more.
After entering the Star Moon Sect, the man and the monkey began to walk.
This is a sign of respect for the strong.
Bai Qingqing was writing in her study when she heard Wukong's voice and got up to come out.
"Master, Chief Yun has come to visit." Wukong skipped and hopped to Bai Qingqing's side.
"Clan Chief Yun," Bai Qingqing greeted with a smile.
“Miss Bai, please call me Hall Master Yun from now on,” Yun Yue said. “After all, our entire clan has joined the Star Moon Sect, so it’s not appropriate to call us Clan Chief anymore.”
"Alright." Bai Qingqing smiled and said, "I wonder if Hall Master Yun has come at this hour because of something important?"
“There is indeed one.” Yun Yue said, following his previous agreement with Wukong: “I heard from Zhan’er that Miss Bai likes to collect all sorts of strange and precious items?”
"Yes." Bai Qingqing nodded, then immediately became interested: "Are there new items at the auction?"
“It’s not from the auction house.” Yun Yue stroked his beard and smiled. “It belongs to an old friend of mine. It’s called Dark Abyss Dragon Soil. Ancient books describe it as silt from a deep ravine that’s stained with dragon’s blood.”
"Stained with dragon's blood?" Bai Qingqing asked. "Do you know its value?"
“Our auction house has never auctioned this item, but there have been similar items auctioned in the family's past accounts, worth eight hundred million low-grade spirit stones.” Yun Yue said, taking out a yellowed notebook, turning a page and handing it to Bai Qingqing.
