The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 207. The Golden Fossil of Dragon Bone

The Lodging Room...

“What happened to the Holy Daughter, I already said that the Styx she was looking for had no trace of her, but...why did she still follow me?”

Gofan scratched his non-itchy head. His eyes glanced to the right, the room next door, was the room Li Yuan had rented.

“But its existence is quite helpful too..” After receiving a third of the reward from the Village Chief, the Li brothers rebuked Gofan and said that Gofan had harvested all of the Queen's Honey Essences and left only one for them. Thanks to Li Yuan's defense and the Blood Debt letter, he managed to dodge the situation.

**

“Li Cheng's. I feel like there is something strange about Mo Fan's behavior. Her cultivation is not what it seems. He could enter and exit easily, even after poisonous green smoke filled the entire Cave... Blessing Heaven? Is that possible?!” Li Derang was crouching in the top corner of the inn roof, next to him, Li Cheng was in the same position.

“This is the Bone Saw Spider, the most poisonous creature I have nurtured, with this we will prove whether everything he said was a blessing of 'Gift Heaven' or he does have an anti-poison body.” A blue spider with saw-shaped spiked legs crept out from behind Li Cheng's clothes and went down through the roof of the inn.

The blue spider, straying through the roof frame of the inn, headed straight down, towards Gofan's room.

Gofan sat cross-legged, twisting the cultivation of the Blood Poison Art, stabilizing back everything he had obtained from the green smoke of the Queen Bees.

* Tick Tik Tik *sound small footsteps creeping near Gofan.

“This voice? I've guessed they will definitely prolong the Honey Core problem.” The sound of the legs of the Bone Saw Spider, was clearly heard thanks to the divine ability of hearing that Gofan of the Rat Tribe had.

Gofan formed a hand seal and expanded his hearing range, outside, on the roof, the whispers of Li Cheng and Li Derang sounded clear.

Gofan grinned, he opened his eyes and rushed up towards the door of the room, just a little more. Just barely?

“Sial! Almost got hit. Where is he these nights?.” lamented Li Cheng when his Spider failed to poison Gofan.

“Almost just? She's out of the room?” asked Li Derang from the side.

Li Cheng nodded, “He headed for Li Yuan's room. Is he intending to tease the Holy Princess?” Li Cheng was sure, the failure of his Spider was just a coincidence. It just so happened that Gofan came out and visited Li Yuan.

“Tempting? I don't think she needs to tease that jal*ng, she continues to defend and protect Mo Fan, surely they are some kind of secret lover.”

Li Cheng frowned, both of his eyebrows bent, Li Derang's words were like a joke to him..What qualifications did that crippled brat have until becoming Li Yuan's secret lover?! No way!

“We try another way. Now we go back first.” Li Cheng kept back his Spider.

“Wait... You don't wonder what they're doing? It's midnight, why did that Mo Fan visit Li Yuan?. Let's peep.” Li Derang tiptoed slowly towards the top of the roof of Li Yuan's inn.

“Do as you please. I go!” with *Wuusss*Li Cheng disappears in the dark of night.

Li Derang shook his head and sighed softly, the moment in his heart he could only curse, No exclamation!

*Wuusss*He disappeared in the same direction Li Cheng was heading.

**

“What's the problem?” Li Yuan looked sleepy, although the hue of his face was slightly flushed. This was her first time alone with a man, in the middle of the night anyway.

“Nothing. I just wanted to ask you something. But I'm afraid, Miss Li won't answer me.”

“Ask only. As long as I know, I'll give you the answer as much as possible. Sit...” Li Yuan sighed, as the red hue on his cheek slowly disappeared.

The two sat opposite in front of a small round table in Li Yuan's room.

“I really wonder why Miss Li is looking for that weird Styx? Does Miss Li want to kill him?”

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, his fingers tapped the table a few times, “Mo Fan. This is a secret. You're not a person from the Alliance, I can't tell you. But I'm not looking for him to kill him, I just want to bring him to my Lord.”

“Master? Master of the Season Deepening Alliance?”

Li Yuan nodded, his face looking a little annoyed, for some reason.

“Then... Did the Alliance Master want to kill him after you brought that Styx face him?” Gofan couldn't help but be curious, if in the end Li Yuan's goal and the Season Profound Alliance was to kill him, he had to stay away from this Girl and her Alliance.

Li Yuan chuckled softly, “For what did I take the trouble to bring him alive only to be killed my Master? Nope. I'm sure he won't be killed.”

“Then?”

“Mo Fan's. What's wrong with you? Midnight comes, just to ask me about the Styx? He was killed or not, is that a problem for you?” li Yuan's tone of voice slightly raised.

Sure was! It concerns his life... If Gofan didn't confirm it, should he just die?

Gofan chuckled softly, trying to calm Li Yuan down, “Nona Li don't get me wrong. I'm really curious. I just felt that strange Styx was innocent to Miss or the Alliance, so he should have been left free and lived life in peace. Didn't you?” Gofan's tone of voice ended with a slight stammer, Li Yuan's gaze making him a little uncomfortable.

Brak!!! Li Yuan hit the table and got up from his seat.

“Out!!” Shouted Li Yuan. Like running out of patience.

“Sa-patient Miss Li... I just want Miss and the Alliance to let her live in peace” Gofan gets up and slowly retreats towards the door.

“Ke-Lu-Ar!!”

Gofan hurriedly walked out of Li Yuan's room.

“What's with him? I'm just curious about the purpose? Why is he so angry?”

“Go!” The sound of Li Yuan's cry sounded outside the door wall.

“Did he hear my words?” Gofan's gone.

***

The next day...

“Saint God?! You have already reached Saint God realm?” After seeing Gofan's aura this morning, Li Yuan realized that Gofan was no longer a cripple, he had reached Saint God realm.

“But... Is that possible? Are you a resident of the Sky Realm?”

Li Yuan had never seen or heard of any flawed celestial dwellers who had suddenly turned into Saint G.o.ds just by absorbing the Honey Core, let alone just a few fruits, was that possible?!

“I know only the Pearl of Destiny Reversal can treat the deformed into a Saint God. But you? Only with Honey Core... Who are you exactly?”

“Oh true... That pearl, I've already used it, but only half, so I need another divine object to break through to Saint God's realm.” Gofan hurriedly stepped out of the inn.

Li Yuan was silent, thinking for a moment, digesting Gofan's obviously contrived answer, before finally suddenly realizing that Gofan was already far beyond the Inn.

“Wait! Mo Fan's... Wait!!” with *Wuusss*Li Yuan appeared next to Gofan.

“Nona Li. Is there a problem?”

“Where are you going?” instead of answering, Li Yuan asked.

“Where is my goal? Didn't Miss Li still have the task of searching for that strange Styx... Our goals are obviously different, so, it seems like Miss doesn't need to know where I'm going.”

“I asked once again... Where are you going?” coldness seeped out from Li Yuan's sharp gaze, making Gofan speechless stiff, difficult to move.

“The Mo.” Clan branch Gofan was forced to.Gofan's real destination was the Jiang Clan Branch, to borrow their Heavenly Peach Fruit.

“It just so happens, I'll be there too. Our goal is the same.”

“Really? Why is Miss Li visiting the Mo Clan Branch?”

“Same as you.” Li Yuan replied firmly and concisely, as if his goal was indeed the same as Gofan's.

What's with this girl? Does he know my identity? Did he realize that I was the Styx he was looking for?

“Come fly.. I'll take care of you, until safely at the Mo.” Clan Branch Li Yuan floated slowly before Gofan.

Hesh....! Gofan let out a long sigh, before flying off and the *Blazh* suddenly disappeared.

“Mo Fan!!” Shouted Li Yuan when he saw Gofan disappear.

Li Yuan searched left and right, but he could not sense Gofan's existence. Until finally, deciding to fly out, towards the Village Gate, continue to try to feel the existence of Gofan who was lost with his Camouflage technique.

**

In air... On the border towards the City, the First Sky Realm.

“Sial!? That girl can still track me, how do I hide myself from her bronze mirror?” Gofan still flies invisible.

During the few days of travel, several times Gofan would follow up with Li Yuan. Either Li Yuan already knew his identity or not, but Li Yuan continuously used the bronze Mirror to trace Gofan's whereabouts. That forced Gofan to remain in his Camouflage mode.

“I have to find an object to obscure the aura... Ah right... The Divine Treasure Tower, the biggest business place in this City, Xingchen.” City was in Camouflage Mode for days was certainly draining his Energy.

Gofan landed right in front of the entrance Gate of Xingchen City, the most prosperous City first before Dansheng City. There were only those two Cities in the First Sky Realm. Both of them were like splitting the First Sky Realm into two power regions.

One City the size of a Continent, was actually more worthy of being said to be a Continent. But the King God leader of the First Sky Realm preferred to simplify the division of his realm. Even the name of his Kingdom was the combined name of the two Cities. The Kingdom of Xingchen Dansheng.

In the laur of those two great Cities, surrounded by the wildness of the Heaven Beasts' living quarters, there was a special barrier that restricted their living space to the territory of Xingchen Dansheng Kingdom.

Two Cities, one Kingdom, surrounded by the wild, there was no officially recognized Sect other than the Seasonal Profound Sect and there was no most respected power other than the Season Profound Alliance. The Musin Profound Alliance was indeed the sole ruler of the First Heavenly Land and the Second Sky Realm.

After checking the surroundings and making sure there was no existence of Li Yuan, Gofan entered and stepped into the City. Xingchen City, restricted by the protective formation, without permission to enter first, Gofan would not be able to pass through the City Gate.

Gofan was wearing a hooded black robe, he was walking down the streets of such a large City. Remember, this is no ordinary City, this Continent, really vast. The bustle of the sky is very crowded. Only a few people who have permission to fly are allowed to fly. While others could choose between walking on foot or riding the Celestial Beasts that were allowed.

“Master. Would you like to buy this horse?”

Gofan walked over to a seller of the Sky Beast. It was a horse, but with fiery tassels on all four legs. His name was the Sky Fire Horse.

“Iya. Give me one of yours the best.” Gofan said.

“If you are looking for the best... This... This Black One is the best, he is young, strong, and fast, only 100 Crystals of the Universe.”

The Sky Fire Horse, a very common Sky Beast, was too numerous in the wild, so it was so easy to find, that the price became so cheap.

Gofan nodded and assessed the dexterity of the horse the horse seller was referring to.

“Uncle. I don't have any Crystals of the Universe, can I pay with other things?”

Hm.... “If the thing is of value, I might be able to consider it.” he said.

“Is this worth?” Gofan showed me a small piece of fossilized gold-colored bone and gave it to the horse-seller's uncle.

“Golden Fossil of Dragon Bones?!”

Gofan nodded.

“I-this is too precious Sir... I don't have the change.” The horse-seller's Uncle's hand trembled despite only holding a small piece of the Golden Fossil of Dragon Bone.

Such a small thing, could be valued at hundreds of thousands of Crystals of the Universe, but Gofan gave it away just like that.

The Golden Fossil of Dragon Bones, the thing Gofan obtained from the largest Queen bee, he had a complete set of Dragon leg bone parts. When Gofan wreaks havoc on his lair, he eats a small amount of the fossil gold, and tries to hide it from the other queens.

The dragons... Existence forbidden in the Great Realm. But, if it was about inheritance or even Divine Treasures adrift to the improvement of the cultivation realm, it was not forbidden. Even sought and hunted. If a living dragon is found, it must be killed. Flesh, bones, blood, Soul Core, all that was precious from that Dragon corpse, were allowed to be used.

Due to the existence of the Dragon, already forbidden, no longer existed in the Great Realm. The fossilized remains of a Dragon, such as that Golden Fossil would be extremely valuable.

“Then... I will take all the Horses belonging to Uncle, the rest need not be thought about.” Gofan said as he stored all the rest of the Sky Fire Horse into the Jindun Pagoda.

Seriate...
