Shi Mu swept his gaze around . Then, he went to the corpse of the first demon bird that he had killed a moment ago, and collected its spirit in his beast soul bag as well .
He patted the beast soul bag with satisfaction since he had spent a great deal of effort to collect the beast souls during the course of his journey to the Rising Sun City . His hard work had paid off since there was now a large stock of beast souls in his beast soul bag .
Shi Mu's prime goal behind gathering so many beast souls was to use them to win Yan Luo's favor . He knew that his strength would certainly mark a qualitative ascension if Yan Luo agreed to show him how to exhibit the mysterious power of the black blade .
It must be mentioned that Shi Mu could trigger this peculiar power on his own every now and then . But, he knew that luck was a prime factor to achieve the desired result . He also knew that he would bump into some pivotal battles sooner or later . And, that the outcome of battles was sometimes determined in a couple of seconds . So, he couldn't afford to be casual in this regard .
However, Yan Luo hadn't been responding to his summons these days . And, Shi Mu was quite depressed because of this .
Shi Mu let out a sigh . He then turned his hand, and pulled out the black blade from his back . Then, he flipped his hand, and took out a middle-ranked fire-attribute spirit stone . He then stuck that stone close to the black blade .
A light flashed on the spirit stone as it touched the black blade . Then, a stream of spiritual energy gushed out of it, and started to seep into the black blade .
The black blade gobbled up the spiritual energy of five middle-ranked spirit stones in a row . Then, it seemed as if the weight of the blade had reached its maximum limit since it no longer showed any sign of increment .
Shi Mu inserted the blade back into its scabbard . He then waved his hand, and the Green-winged flying carriage emerged with a flash of green light .
Shi Mu jumped onto the flying carriage, and waved his hand to cast a magic spell .
A green light flashed on the Green-winged flying carriage in response . And then, it flew into the distance .
Shi Mu had already entered deep into the mountains during this pursuit . But, he couldn't tell how many miles he had covered so far .
The fact was that Shi Mu had less than two days left to meet the date of delivery that Zhong Xiu had promised . He had succeeded in getting hold of the Star Stone . So, he only needed to rush back as soon as possible . Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome if he delayed the time of delivery .
. . .
In the Black Pavilion… inside the Rising Sun City .
A few people were seated in a beautifully arranged living room along with the guest-of-honor .
Wang Rui Kun was seated on the seat-of-honor . And, a middle-aged man sat opposite to him; he had brown hair and blue eyes . This man was none other than the Lord of the Rising Sun City — Linghu Kuan .
They were engaged in an awkward situation . One minute they would talk, but they would quieten down the other .
Zhong Xiu and the enchanting woman were seated on the left and the right of these two people respectively .
The enchanting woman wore a faint smile on her lips, and her cursory gaze was travelling over these three people from time to time . In addition, she was occasionally inserting a few perfunctory words in the conversation between Wang Rui Kun and Linghu Kuang .
However, Zhong Xiu sat there with her mouth zipped . But, there was an expression of serenity on her face .
A green-dressed attendant walked in at this time . He held four exceptionally good-looking white jade teacups in his hand . He gave the people a cup each, and then departed .
The curling steam was floating up from the cups . But, it didn't disperse . It instead condensed, and gave off a distinct and peaceful aroma .
"This is the spirit tea that the Chamber of Commerce has shipped from faraway locations . The flavor of this tea is very nice . I request City Lord to taste it once . " Wang Rui Kun said with a smile .
Linghu Kuan held up the teacup, and took a sip . He felt a strong aroma pervading his mouth as the tea reached his mouth . Simultaneously, he felt a kind of warmth surging in his lower abdomen . His eyes brightened up in response, and he said a few words in appreciation, "It's a wonderful tea . Can this tea possibly be that world famous 'white velvet dew'?"
"Hehe, Respected City Lord indeed has a wide range of experience . This tea is the freshest white velvet dew of this year . This Old Man has two small boxes of this tea . And, I can see that City Lord likes it . You may take them along so that you can enjoy its taste later," Wang Rui Kun said . Then, he waved his wand, and took out two green tea boxes . He then passed it to him .
"The worth of this kind of spirit tea should be at least ten-thousand spirit stones . I can't even buy one box at the moment . So, how can I accept such an expensive gift?" Linghu Kuan waved his hand to decline his offer .
Wang Rui Kun didn't insist either . Instead, he placed the small box of tea on the table .
"I haven't arrived here for any special or crucial matter . I only wish to know the status of the batch of goods that has been transported from the Peaceful Sun City . What's the situation now? The delivery date is tomorrow between 3 to 5 PM," Linghu Kuan changed the thread of discussion, and said .
"As for this matter… Elder Zhong had specifically paid a visit, and given her word to City Lord some time ago . But, City Lord has come again to inquire about this matter . Can it be that you believe those rumors? Has this led you to question the strength and capability of my Heavenly Wu Chamber of Commerce?" Wang Rui Kun retained the same facial expression as he asked .
"The name and fame of the Heavenly Wu Chamber of Commerce are beyond comparison . So, how can I dare to question its strength? It is just that lots of rumors have been floating in the city of late . And, there's one thing in those goods which is extremely important to me . So, I can't afford the slightest mishap . I believe that Vice President Wang can understand my difficulties, right?" Linghu Kuan said at a moderate pace .
"City Lord Linghu, you can rest assured . You can come to receive your goods tomorrow at the appointed time," Wang Rui Kun turned his head, and glanced at Zhong Xiu as he said .
"This man is ready to wait for one more day since Vice President Wang says so . I'll pay a visit tomorrow . It's time for me to take leave now," Linghu Kuan said . Then, he stood up, clasped his hands together, and extended his greetings to Wang Rui Kun . He then glanced at Zhong Xiu, and walked toward the door of the living room .
"Oh, by the way… this man has spoken such offensive words in front of you all . But, don't blame me if I don't care about your sentiments and report this matter to the higher authorities of the Association in case the Chamber of Commerce fails to deliver the goods at the appointed time," Linghu Kuan came to a halt midway . Then, he turned his head, and said a few words .
He stepped out of the hall after he said this . In fact, he didn't even wait for Wang Rui Kun or the others to reply .
