Seeing Wu Yu catch up to her, Luo Pin softly asked, "Why not get to know them better? That's what suits you . "
Wu Yu smiled but did not reply .
Of course, that was a reply in itself . Luo Pin understood from his smile .
For them, the Yan Palace was not far from the Heaven's Equal Camp .
"Recently, she has become even more withdrawn . Perhaps she has recovered somewhat, and therefore needs to conceal her immortal beast identity even more strongly . If we had met her now, I might not even be able to recognize what she is," Ming Long said, startled .
Perhaps it was in preparation for the City Lord Residence .
"Luo Pin, do you not have friends in Yan Huang Imperial City? I always see you alone," Wu Yu asked as they walked .
"I'm used to it," she replied .
There was indeed nothing much to talk to her about, but her personality was just like that . Even if they remained silent, it was not awkward just to stand by her side .
In a flash, they arrived at Heaven's Equal Camp . Wu Yu said, "Then I'll find you in five days' time, and we go to Battlefield of Old together?"
"Alright . "
Clearly, although she was not outspoken, she at least did not dismiss Wu Yu .
The Blue Dragon Camp was always rather desolate . Perhaps because the people there knew Luo Pin's temperament, they did not bother her much, but instead went about their own missions . Occasionally, when they asked her about questions of cultivation, she would still answer them .
"What a strange person . "
Wu Yu sighed . First he returned to the Heaven's Equal Camp . Many members had gone to see Wu Yu challenge the leaderboard of the Trial of Yan, but Wu Yu had returned first . However, they were not long behind .
"Commander Wu, listen to my analysis . I have already roughly calculated who you will meet in order to reach the top three!" Wu Tianyu and the others exclaimed heatedly upon their return .
"For the first opponent, this Yang Xuefeng person is most likely to make it out of the qualifiers . 70% chance that it's him!

"After defeating this Yang Xuefeng, the second opponent should be the old man, Pu Yangyi . The old monster of Yan Huang Imperial City - he was already a centurion before our ancestors were even born . He has plenty of tricks, and the old geezer is wily . However, I still believe that Commander Wu can overcome him!
"As for the third one, sigh, it should be Li Kuhai . That will be a difficult one . " Their faces began to droop .
"I hear that that guy's brute strength is also formidable . Although not as strong as Commander Wu, he is at the third tier of the Violent Kingdom of the Inner Sea .
"In another few years, Commander Wu will also be at a third tier Violent Kingdom of the Inner Sea cultivator . At that time, he will definitely crush him . Now? Hard to say . . . . ”
Against this famously powerful youth, even the brethren of Heaven's Equal Camp felt that it would be difficult, let alone everyone else .
For the remaining five days, the Battlefield of Old was conducting qualifying matches . It was said to be spectacular . For three qualifying spots, 12 vied hard . This qualifier concerned Wu Yu quite a lot, because his first opponent would be from the qualifiers .
However, Wu Yu was not that concerned . In order to take the top three, he still prepared hard .
In terms of cultivation level, dao techniques, and the like, there was no time for breakthroughs and detailed study . Talismans were not allowed, so the only method was to blood bond immortal treasures .
Wu Yu agonized on this for a while . Right now, he had quite some wealth on him, and therefore prepared to go and buy two swords . Although his sword dao had been learned at Shushan, this was no reason for him to abandon it . After all, his beginnings with the sword had started at the Heavenly Sword Sect .
Twin swords .
Either he traded at Yan Huang Imperial City, or he could go to the Hall of Clouds to buy them . Wu Yu thought this over . The Hall of Clouds would give him a more generous discount, but Yan Huang Imperial City would have a greater selection . He decided to head there first for a look .
The outer city was currently afire about the qualifiers; therefore, Wu Yu went to the immortal treasure storehouse in the inner city . This was the largest immortal treasure storehouse in the entire divine continent, and a few generals sat here on guard . Of which, the overall protector was General Golden Imperial, although he was rarely seen .
"Wu Yu?" Who would have thought Jiang Xuechuan would be here .
"I came to get some immortal treasures," Wu Yu said .
"What a coincidence . I have been on duty here recently . What do you need? I'll take you straight there . "
"Swords . "
Wu Yu's goal was clear .

"Although we don't have as many swords here as Shushan does, the selection is not bad either . Come with me . " Jiang Xuechuan knew that he was preparing for the Trial of Yan, and therefore was also very concerned .
There was a single sword palace for swords .
"Roughly how many merits?" Jiang Xuechuan asked .
Wu Yu had about 3 million merits right now, and he had always had a generous hand in such matters . If he had to have something, it would have to be about the level of the Yan Huang Heaven Raising Staff . Therefore, he said, "About 1 million . I want two . "
1 million!
The first three prizes of the Trial of Yan were 5, 3, and 1 million merits . Wu Yu was aiming straight for the top 3, and wasn't shy here either . In terms of cultivation, he had always felt that one had to have the best resources .
"There are not many choices with that much value . But without a doubt, all of them are formidable, and perhaps not even the Heaven sword rank disciples of Shushan could use them . "
After all, Wu Yu had accumulated 3 million merits in his three months at the East Sea battle . He had killed three opponents and thousands of ghostly cultivators to acquire this sum .
Jiang Xuechuan brought Wu Yu straight to the deeper vaults in the sword palace .
When the great doors opened, the sword qi rushed out . This was a veritable storehouse, and all four walls were adorned with more than 300 swords . Some were large and some were small, and they came in all sorts of manner and styles . When Wu Yu walked in, all the swords went berserk, making ear-splitting sounds . It was as though they were discontent beasts!
Wu Yu was again struck by the feeling he had when he first walked into the Heavenly Sword Sect's Heavenly Palace .
"Feel free to choose . "
The longswords here ranged roughly from 0 . 5 million to 1 . 5 million merits .
One could see that none of them could be considered inferior to the Yan Huang Heaven Raising Staff . Each one had more than 1,000 Immortal Treasure Spirit Designs on them and were extremely well-rounded .
And a majority even had more direct offensive Immortal Treasure Spirit Designs imbued within .
In terms of sword dao, Wu Yu only had the Xuan Immortal Spirit Petrifying Sword Technique . For him, his sword technique was not that strong .
Even if the place was cacophonous, he was still here to spend 2 million merits . Therefore, he composed himself and looked over each sword in great detail . From the maker, the year, and each spirit design's position and effect, he scrutinized each one . Of course, the thing he saw most clearly was the price . And also, he needed two swords that could complement each other .
Even until now, he truly appreciated how wondrous the effects of the Yin Yang Sword Wheel were .

Others could only use one sword, but he could use two with ease!
What should he choose?
Wu Yu had a headache .
After knowing Wu Yu's needs, Jiang Xuechuan laughed . He said, "You need a pair of swords . Given my understanding of the place, I'll introduce you to these two . You won't go wrong . Follow me!"
At this time, Wu Yu had seen roughly 200 swords, and was temporarily unable to make two choices he was satisfied with . And at this moment, Jiang Xuechuan tugged him backwards until he stood in front of two swords nearby .
Wu Yu lifted his head to look . These two swords were exactly the same! They were both keen blades of three feet long and two fingers wide . They were extremely sharp! The blades had carvings on both sides . On one was the sensational scenery of the divine continent, the other was the stellar arraignments of the heavens .
Both swords were extremely archaic in their make . Evidently, they were very old, and even covered in dust .
Of course, there was a very big difference between these two swords .
One was pure gold in color and looked to be cast from gold itself . Of course, its material would not be as simple as gold - it was only the color .
The other was pure black . It seemed to be made from black iron and was darker than ink .
Black and gold again!
The combination of these two colors represented Yan Huang Imperial City .
The ancient black sword was spitting black flames, while the ancient golden sword was emanating golden flames .
Jiang Xuechuan introduced them . "These two swords were made at the same time, a very long time ago . They have at least 200,000 years of history, and there are not many immortal treasures that have endured from that time . Exactly because of that, the Immortal Treasure Spirit Designs on them are also different from those now . However, they are a suitable couple . It's said that when used in perfect harmony, they are capable of potent powers . That is why I thought they were suitable for you . After all, blood bonding them individually and separately would not result in as formidable a result . As for the price, these are considered cheap . After all, there are not many who could wield such ancient swords, and neither are there many who would be willing to use two swords separated from each other . That is why they are inexpensive, 1 . 5 million merits in total . If you can use them to their full potential, they might even have the power of something in the 3 million range . "
As Wu Yu listened to him, he carefully inspected these two swords .
The engravings on the sword blades were indeed very old . These two swords had been through much history and were elders in the world of today .
"These are it, Wu Yu," Ming Long said .
These swords were even older than she was .
She was from one yuan ago, over 120,000 years .
In the records, these two swords had the shortest entry . Even their maker was not known, and their tangible abilities were not recorded either . It was last owned more than some tens of thousands of years ago . The only thing that was clear was the names of these two swords .
The golden one was called: Grand Emperor .
The black one was called: Chief Emperor .
From their names, they were clearly made at the same time, or perhaps by the same person .
"The actual information about these two swords is rather scant, so you will have to find it out by yourself . But since they are displayed here, if they suit you, then there should be no problem . But because there isn't much information, you will have to figure out many things by yourself . There's some risk involved . " Jiang Xuechuan laid out the pros and cons for him .
"I'll take them . "
Sometimes, choosing immortal treasures also depended on one's fate .
When Wu Yu came here and saw the Chief Emperor sword and the Grand Emperor sword, he lost the motivation to look at other swords .
Although he did not feel the same intensity as when he saw the Yan Huang Heaven Raising Staff, that had been as timely as hot coals in winter . These were just gilding the lily .
However, Wu Yu was indeed calm about this .
Jiang Xuechuan asked him a few times, and he expressed his affirmation .
After all, if he took them out, then he would no longer be able to trade them .
"Very well . "
He handed over 1,500 Inner Sea Essence Pills, half of his wealth .
Wu Yu put the Grand Emperor sword and the Chief Emperor sword in his Sumeru Pouch and bade farewell to Jiang Xuechuan, returning to the Heaven's Equal Camp to seclude himself .
After all, to familiarize and master these two swords in such a short period of time would be no easy task .
