"run!"
The moment the Son of Pleasure learned that the connection to Pleasure Street had been severed, he instantly realized that the creature before him was no small fish, but a colossal crocodile from the ages.
They immediately turned and ran away.
It revels in the pleasure and torment of others, but doesn't want to become the one being tormented.
"I still prefer the way you were when you were defiant."
Lu Yu's calm voice rang out, and the little spider beside him stretched out its slender white fingers and swept them across the void.
Whoosh whoosh!
The extraordinary spider silk swirling around the Child of Joy was directly wrapped into a cocoon, hanging it in mid-air. It carried a trace of corrosive power, which even its spiritual body could not break free from. Not to mention, it was reinforced by a layer of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
Let's just put it in the dark and deal with it!
It must be said that, apart from his disastrous brains, the Son of Pleasure has a pretty good physique.
If this were posted on a forum, some silly netizens might even say, "It's the same with the lights off."
In some ways, they are even more outrageous than Slaanesh believers!
"Let me go! Who are you? Do you want to offend Pleasure Street and the Pleasure Monastery...?"
The Child of Pleasure struggled incessantly, emitting threats as its tentacles writhed and its eyes unleashed a mental shockwave that swept outwards.
However, the moment the spiritual energy appeared, it was "sucked" by the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree and instantly absorbed completely.
The Thousand-Faced Soul Tree shook its roots, seemingly still wanting more, indicating that it wanted some more.
"How is that possible..."
This scene left even the Son of Joy bewildered. Looking at these strange roots, the aura of the underworld emanating from them grew, and his expression became increasingly terrified:
"This is... the Ghost Tree? How could a descendant of the Royal Tree appear here, and even obey the orders of mere humans..."
The Seven Great Imperial Trees are all great beings above the Mother River. Even their descendants are high above, preferring death to submission to lower life forms.
The reason I know this so well is that the Ghost Tree, which wields the power of ghosts, is the greatest counter to them.
Moreover, this tree in front of me... gives me a feeling that it is always changing, and I can't see its true nature. It is one and all things, which is even more bizarre than the legendary descendants of the royal tree.
They are even somewhat similar to the mother tree that created them.
How could mortal things possibly compare to such great beings?!
"Noisy."
Hearing its loud cries, Lu Yu ordered the little spider to kill it, but he didn't touch its soul or memories.
After all, their origins are too mysterious. If you look at them rashly, you might see things you shouldn't. Even if they have rats to shield their aura, if it involves a true king, you can't interfere and might be hunted down by the internet.
Therefore, he adopted the simplest and most direct method to extract the material.
Throw him directly into the Thousand-Handed Demon God's territory; if you're so capable, take him down.
An eternal white light descended, enveloping the Child of Joy, and the resource library quickly gained a new resource item.
【The Spiritual Core of the Banshee (Three-Star High-Tier): A spiritual life born from the Blissful Ecological Kingdom—Elysium, nurtured by the Mother Tree of Bliss, without a complete physical form.
They can hide beneath the skin of life, explore beings with powerful desires, and gain power through extreme pleasure and pain. Because their bodies are composed of mental thoughts, they are unaffected by any flesh-based curses and are immune to physical attacks.
It can be used as a consumable for high-level mental skills like "Mental Shock" or "Mental Touch," or as the main ingredient for mental evolution consumables.
A joyous ecosystem! A paradise on earth!
What shocked Lu Yu the most was that the Deity of Desire, the Mother Tree of Pleasure, who was on par with the Great Desire King, seemed to have been planted in the Paradise of Bliss.
And the master of the Kingdom of Bliss, unsurprisingly, is the King of Bliss.
Is this like planting an evil god in your own backyard?
How domineering this is!
"No, there's something wrong with the birth of this deity. It seems to have appeared only in the last hundred years, not like an eternal, supreme being. It's also possible... that He doesn't exist at all, but was created by the King of Bliss, a forced artificial god. Are the eighteen pleasure streets just tools for collecting the desires of all living beings...?"
Lu Yu thought of another possibility: if that were the case, then what was the purpose of the Bliss King?
Is it because they are not satisfied with the limits of human lifespan and have transformed into supreme beings?
Or is he trying to create a contracted beast with an evil god for himself?
Every idea is groundbreaking, but they are all just speculation.
Lu Yu's Eye of Truth originates from the Lord of the Gate of Talent, which is also the Key of Truth. The information he sees is absolutely true. If there are errors or if it is blocked by higher dimensions, it will be displayed as "■■■".
However, it's important to understand that truth doesn't equate to absolute correctness. Sometimes, simply extracting a portion of the truth can alter the original meaning of things and mislead people's thinking.
This is also one of the ways in which higher dimensions conceal secrets, so you need to make your own judgment on the specific situation.
Although he knew the speculation about the relationship between the Son of Pleasure, the Mother Tree of Pleasure, and the King of Bliss, Lu Yu did not intend to investigate further.
Because with his current strength, he can't change anything, he can only be wary of the King of Bliss.
After all, the domain where this king resides seems to be on the verge of an abyss ecosystem.
It's hard not to let your imagination run wild!
Lu Yu suppressed these thoughts and said to the mouse:
"You can start cleaning the floor now."
"Yes, sir!"
The mouse skillfully used the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree to cleanse the entire secret chamber of its aura, even clearing out the aura outside, and then misled the room.
With the protection of a legendary skill, unless the true king descends, the Pleasure Street will not be able to detect the problem.
Lu Yu waited for a while, and after confirming that no members of the Pleasure Cultivation Society came knocking, he calmly walked out of the secret room and greeted Zhou Cheng.
Looking up at the sky, I saw that it was always midday on Huanle Street, with bright sunlight, just like a city that never sleeps.
However, it was already late at night, and the trade fair was about to begin, so Lu Yu and Zhou Cheng set off together.
However, they hadn't gone far when Lu Yu and Zhou Cheng noticed that the people ahead were moving to the sides, looking somewhat wary. So the two of them mingled with them.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
As the earth trembled, a voice rang out:
"Strangers...get out of the way!"
His voice was low and hoarse, yet contained a terrifying mental fluctuation that swept through the air like a storm.
Soon, a large number of Pleasure Children appeared at the end of the street, with countless pink butterflies fluttering about, spreading an aura of desire, and delicate jade feet stepping on the ground, dancing gracefully.
They surrounded four tall giants, their heads draped with white cloths similar to those of the Pleasure Monastery. Their bodies were predominantly female, but their abdomens bore a hideous face with gaping maws, from which the voices emanated.
On the shoulders of these giants sat a black and gold palanquin draped with a pink gauze canopy, inside which was a blurry human figure.
"These are Devouring Giants, special monsters born from a ecosystem of desire. They can also be used as pets. They are inherently brutal and enjoy devouring lives with strong desires. Their racial skill, Jade Shattering Roar, can compress the desires in a living being's heart into jade, then shatter it and annihilate the soul. They are strategic monsters on the battlefield and are rare."
"I didn't expect four of them to appear here at once, each with the strength of a Morning Star. That means they must be carrying important figures from the Pleasure Cult..."
Zhou Cheng explained in a low voice that although he was somewhat wary, he was not afraid.
The Pleasure Cult, while not one of the orthodox cults recognized by the Alliance, is still considered an ally because they enjoy exploiting the desires of all beings. Instead of engaging in indiscriminate killing, they actively maintain order.
Because in their view, only desires that break free from the cage of order are the most valuable and delicious.
Therefore, as long as the Pleasure Cult does not leave the Pleasure Street area and does not harm ordinary humans, the Alliance turns a blind eye.
I hope to have many friends and few enemies.
But in Zhou Cheng's view, he was also an unstable time bomb, so he tried to stay away from him as much as possible. At the same time, he was afraid that Lu Yu was too young and impetuous, so he wanted to teach him more social experience. However, he did not receive a response for a long time, which made him a little puzzled.
Turning around, they found that Lu Yu had already shielded everyone in front of him.
He was well-versed in one of the nine secrets: the art of survival!
"This kid is really steady..." Zhou Cheng didn't know how to comment, unaware that Lu Yu had just killed a Pleasure Child and was probably here for revenge, and had even already got his hands on Star Leaf.
However, the gluttonous giants walked step by step in the middle of the road, paying no attention to them, which relieved Lu Yu. He did not use the Eye of Truth, but only glanced at the sedan chair out of the corner of his eye.
call!
Suddenly a strong wind arose, and the pink gauze curtains were blown up.
Inside sat several Pleasure Children, serving a woman dressed in a dark green cheongsam. Unlike the Pleasure Children, she did not use those mysterious white cloths; her slender, jade-like hands held open a black and gold folding fan.
The dress was embroidered with a large number of exquisite patterns, which covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful and lively eyes. Her eyebrows were curved as she looked in the direction of the crowd where Lu Yu was.
Even with most of her face covered, her presence was like that of a goddess of beauty in mythology, representing the ultimate beauty and nobility of all things.
Every move they make is captivating.
"What a nice view!"
Zhou Cheng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, and Lu Yu was also stunned for a moment, seeing for the first time a woman even more beautiful than Little Spider, Red Moon Dream, and Red Moon Lotus.
If the three Crimson Moon sisters are like flowers on a high mountain, unattainable and unattainable, then the woman before me is like the bright moon illuminating the starry sky.
This kind of beauty has transcended the limits of mortals and reached another level.
Instead, it becomes unrealistically beautiful, giving people a sense of illusion.
"So beautiful..."
"Is this a big shot from the Pleasure Monastery? Suddenly, I don't think passing a hundred trials will be so difficult!"
"Don't even mention a hundred levels, if it were her, I'd be willing to try a thousand!"
"..."
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. After witnessing such extreme beauty, seeing other women only gave them the feeling that "they are just ordinary beauties, nothing special."
Only Lu Yu remained calm, mainly because he had already seen the true appearance of the Child of Pleasure, Bai Bu. As a prominent figure in the Pleasure Cult, he was unlikely to be a normal human being.
Just thinking about it will put you into a state of enlightenment.
In addition, he was also a little guilty, afraid that this guy would see through his act, so he quickened his pace and left. Zhou Cheng glanced at him reluctantly and followed.
Little did they know, the woman in the cheongsam had witnessed this entire scene, her eyes crinkling with a captivating charm.
The next moment, the gale stopped, the gauze curtain fell, covering everything, leaving many people with a feeling of emptiness in their hearts.
Although it was regrettable, no one dared to offend a top-tier expert.
Inside the sedan chair, a man of pleasure lit incense and respectfully asked:
"High Priest, is there something wrong with this human?"
This sedan chair is not an extraordinary treasure, but as long as the person in front of it does not want to, even a hurricane cannot blow the mosquito net up in the slightest.
After all, the highest authority of the Pleasure Order consists of five high priests, representing the five beasts of desire, corresponding to the five main streets of pleasure.
And she is one of those beautiful beasts.
They came because a Child of Pleasure had gone missing in the Pleasure District, and a certain stronghold had been spied on by mysterious crows, confirming that some forces were secretly causing trouble.
If this human is related to them, they will immediately take action and capture them.
"It's nothing, I just saw some interesting things."
The woman in the cheongsam waved her hand, but her mind was filled with the moment she saw Lu Yu. She had noticed a powerful and familiar fox aura emanating from his hand.
It was as if it was guarding its food, warning others not to touch it.
"I didn't expect this guy to actually make contact with humans. How interesting..."
The High Priestess of Joy was delighted, as if she had discovered an interesting toy. It was a pity that she still had things to do, otherwise she could have made contact with this human.
Soon, they arrived at an area near the secret chamber, where the last scent of the Child of Pleasure had vanished.
The Pleasure Monastery searched the area thoroughly, inside and out, but found nothing. Being a cautious mouse who had watched countless crime dramas, they cleaned it meticulously, checking it over a dozen times, fearing something might go wrong.
They hadn't even completely erased the scent from the secret chamber; that would have made it seem out of place. Instead, they had concealed it. The leader of the Pleasure Children said shamefully:
"High Priest, no problem has been found."
"After all, even my clone can't find the source. It seems that a giant-level or even higher entity has sneaked in. This is indeed going to be a bit troublesome..."
The woman in the cheongsam squinted her eyes and said with a smile:
"During this period, keep Happy Street fully operational, looking for anything unusual, and don't let anyone affect the progress of the plan."
His words were calm, and he didn't mention any punishment, yet they silenced these children of pleasure who controlled their desires.
After explaining the situation, the woman in the cheongsam looked at the sky above Joy Street, where fiery clouds filled the air; it was already dusk.
A figure stepped across the crowd, yet no one noticed his presence, as if he had traveled through time.
The high priest said with a smile:
"The timing is perfect. Go get out my treasured possessions; I'm going to give our distinguished guest a proper welcome..."
The disappearance of the Son of Pleasure was merely a sudden event.
This is what she really needs to do!
..............................
On the other side, Lu Yu and Zhou Cheng had entered the Mutual Aid Association, which was the interior of a giant house-shaped conch shell, hence the name Conch Exchange Association.
The interior is winding and circuitous, with several passages leading in and out, and the safety factor is increased when leaving.
Lu Yu and Zhou Cheng donned black robes and masks, and after paying a fee of ten sin coins, they entered.
Just kidding. He offended so many people before. If he were to show his true colors, even if he didn't get beaten up, his price would be driven up like crazy.
Inside, there was a huge circular platform. In the center sat a man in white robes, meditating with his eyes closed. Around him sat many men in black robes, most of whom were disguised.
Spying on others is prohibited in Pleasure Street. As long as you don't summon pets or display spiritual puzzle pieces, it's difficult to be recognized.
Lu Yu and Zhou Cheng also took their seats quietly, without exchanging a word, just like two strangers.
Lu Yu glanced down at the screen on the table, where he could directly enter numbers to make a price offer, and also call a servant to bring over the item he wanted to exchange and make his request.
The two waited quietly for about twenty minutes, and a large number of people arrived one after another. The seats around the round platform were already 90% full, and those who were supposed to arrive had almost all arrived.
The man sitting in the center of the circular platform stood up, leaned slightly forward, and spoke:
"Welcome to the Conch Fair. I am Gao Hong, the host and appraiser for this event. All items will be appraised by me and my partner to estimate a rough price before the transaction takes place. If any problems are found during the appraisal, the Conch Fair will be responsible for all compensation."
As he spoke, the summoning circle behind him activated, and a bronze mirror floated out, with a huge eye on it that kept turning and looking in all directions.
"This is... a Bronze Appraiser, with the racial skill Eye of Detection, which can see the spiritual light contained in the item. It is indeed a top-tier appraisal-type pet."
"The long-established trade fair is indeed very reputable."
"This can avoid a lot of counterfeit goods."
"..."
The crowd murmured among themselves, quite pleased with the outcome.
Soon, the first item was brought up: a huge cage covered with a black cloth.
After the black cloth was torn off, what appeared before everyone's eyes were thirteen orcs, both male and female, who retained some characteristics of wild beasts, but resembled humans in appearance.
The most eye-catching creature was a giant werewolf, panting heavily, its eerie green eyes glaring hatefully at the surrounding crowd. Besides it, there were also some beautiful rabbit-people, cat-eared girls, and other creatures covered in fur.
Fu Rui was overjoyed.
However, no one was in a hurry to bid, not because they disliked it, but because...
Gao Hong explained, "As we all know, although orcs are not human, some of their races are allies of humans. Buying the wrong thing could easily violate the Alliance's laws."
However, since we've openly displayed our goods this time, it means there's nothing wrong with them. This group of orcs wasn't driven out of their tribe or committed crimes; they belong to... the followers of the Primal Moon!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded slightly, already understanding the reason.
Gao Hong continued, "The believers of the Primal Moon worship not the current moon, but the primordial moon, believing that all things should return to the wild and chaotic period."
They elevate their spirituality through slaughter, especially enjoying using ordinary humans, orcs, and other intelligent beings as sacrifices. They like to initiate blood moon rituals to obtain the spirituality of the moon, thereby gaining power for themselves. They are one of the evil god cults wanted by the Alliance, and even the orcs acknowledge this.
I have already examined them; they do indeed bear the pattern of the Moon of Ignorance and are followers of an evil god. Since they do not respect life, they have lost their right to be recognized and can only be treated as commodities.
This consignor doesn't want to sell individually; they want to buy it all at once. Customers who like orcs or want to study the spirituality of the Primal Moon shouldn't miss this opportunity. Starting bid: two hundred Sinful Gold Coins.
"Two hundred and ten. I love the orcs the most. They have some wild animal features, they're so cute, and they're also very durable..."
A burly man in black robes made a bid and laughed loudly:
"Especially this werewolf, it looks really strong, a real man should do that..."
The sudden turn caught everyone off guard and left them somewhat disoriented.
Even the ferocious werewolf tucked its tail between its legs and let out a whimper.
To his utter surprise, before his companions even faced danger, he himself was the one being targeted.
However, there are quite a few madmen among the Beast Tamers; we should respect everyone's whims.
"Two hundred and twenty. I happen to be researching some orc-related potions and need some test samples." Another man in black robes also quoted a price, explaining his reason and indicating that he was not a shill.
After a brief struggle, the burly man, who was fond of werewolves, finally won the bid with 245 sinful gold coins.
It's not worth it if it gets any more expensive!
The following items were generally of high quality, including Dragon Blood Grass that could give dragon might to pets with diluted dragon bloodlines, Sea Whale Blood that could enhance the power of water-type pets' attributes, and Hell Dew that could strengthen the potential of abyss-type pets, etc.
There were also quite a few pet cubs with the potential to become commanders, but they were quickly snapped up.
In this world, pets represent power, and acquiring excellent pet cubs is extremely difficult, requiring a large amount of money and connections.
The reason why the Gold Medal is so precious is precisely because it is essentially a means for the Alliance to win over Beastmasters.
The reason there are so many conditions is because the league would love for you to choose monetary compensation, but once you've chosen it, you can't just give up.
However, as the auction progressed into its later stages, Lu Yu became somewhat frustrated. He had originally hoped to use the [Lucky Star] buff to find some suitable items for himself, but he ended up with nothing.
Most of the items are expensive and unnecessary materials. Occasionally, you might come across one or two, but they won't accept Sin Coins for purchase, and the exchange conditions are too strict, so they simply go unsold.
"Did we use up all our luck after upgrading the mother nest?"
Just as he was pondering this, someone suddenly stood up and asked the question:
"Do you have any dream kitchenware this time? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it."
However, no one uttered a sound; instead, there were faint, disdainful laughs.
Gao Hong smiled and said:
"I understand your feelings, but I don't think so. Ever since that collector showed interest in unusual items like dream kitchenware, these previously useless props have suddenly become incredibly valuable, and many people have bought them."
Later, some well-informed wealthy individuals also began refusing to sell, treating them as top-tier collectibles, hoping to one day meet that esteemed figure again and conduct a transaction.
The others nodded in agreement, finding it quite convincing. After all, being able to communicate with a forbidden being was unprecedented. Even the smallest favor would be an immense benefit to mortals.
Some time ago, many people even suggested re-examining the history of the Food School to see if it involved the Forbidden War, but this was rejected by the archaeological school.
A hidden, forbidden being could be wiped out by a single curse, let alone a forbidden being that is still active.
It's like trying to see someone's dark past in front of them; they're really tired of living and looking for death.
They immediately declared, "Go dig it yourselves!"
Ultimately, the proposal was shelved.
"collector……"
Zhou Cheng also knew the inside story. After all, his good friend, "Burning Man" Sun Jie, was a Morning Star who had only advanced after coming into contact with a forbidden being. He had been showing off in front of him, and Zhou Cheng was so jealous that his eyes turned red.
So Zhou Cheng used his mental powers to speak to Lu Yu:
"If you have the chance to get your dream kitchenware, be sure to keep it safe. If you happen to meet a collector, that would be an incredible opportunity. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an all-powerful wish-granting machine."
"Oh……"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's expression beneath his cloak became incredibly strange.
He had previously wondered why he hadn't seen any information or items related to the Dream Kitchenware, and thought it was something that wasn't high-class enough, but...
It's because of the persona he portrayed before, that he likes collecting things.
A bunch of people want to collect items like the Dream Kitchenware, trying to curry favor with the Collector's Forbidden Identity.
As a result, he himself is unable to collect the dream kitchenware!
To dig one's own grave is truly a hellish joke.
The most outrageous thing... they even wanted to make a wish.
I want to too!
"The 'Collector' alias is too famous now. Its appearance could attract top-tier experts and trigger a chain reaction. Otherwise, I could have easily gotten a girlfriend. Looks like I'll need to come up with some new aliases for the future..."
Lu Yu felt a pang of regret as he continued listening to Gao Hong introduce the items, but unfortunately, few of the remaining items were what he needed, so he lost interest.
Just when he thought he was going to leave empty-handed, a servant came to Gao Hong's side and whispered something to him for a few minutes.
After listening, Gao Hong suddenly stood up, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. He quickly composed himself and addressed the crowd:
"What I'm about to introduce is a bit special. It's not an item, but... information about the location of the Primal Ascending Tree."
The moment the words were spoken, the entire audience was stunned.
Gao Hong continued, "I believe everyone has heard of this tree. It is a special, extraordinary spiritual plant born from the blessing of the Mother River. It only bears fruit once in its lifetime. It is a special spiritual treasure that is not restricted to anyone who can consume it. In other words... humans can also consume it."
Its function is also very simple: to enhance spiritual power. One pill can refine and transform all the spiritual power of a Silver Peak Beastmaster into Golden Spiritual Power, and will also give birth to a special Blue-Gold Spiritual Power. Compared with ordinary Golden Spiritual Power, it has a higher concentration and half or even twice the endurance. It is also gentle in nature.
In fact, the process of a Beast Tamer's growth is similar to building a house. The deeper the accumulation, the greater the probability of spiritual transformation or advancement to Morning Star. Even if the advancement fails, it is not easy to become distorted.
Of course, the prerequisite for taking it is having enough mental energy accumulated, otherwise it is easy to lose balance...
Hearing this, the others also became interested. Although the Spiritual Transformation stage was no longer usable, it did not prevent them from mentoring their juniors.
Furthermore, those at the Gold rank can also transform their spiritual energy into azure-gold through the Spirit Ascension Fruit, although the effect will be somewhat weaker.
"I never expected to find something so good!"
Zhou Cheng was excited. If he could obtain the fruit from the Spirit Ascension Tree, Lu Yu would have a chance to advance to the Gold Rank before taking the college entrance exam, and with a special Gold Spirituality. The Spiritual Puzzle he would build would be even stronger, resulting in a qualitative change in his combat power.
If I can outperform all the geniuses and get into Imperial University with a top-three score, there will be unexpected benefits.
Even if they were to go to the border battlefield, this level of strength would qualify them to lead a small squad, have greater autonomy, and have more opportunities to earn merit.
Thinking of this, he said to Lu Yu:
"If this information is true, we must do everything we can to secure it. If you don't have enough money, I can help you borrow some."
Lu Yu, hidden beneath his hood, showed no surprise; instead, he frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Even with the "Lucky Star" buff, the timing of this thing's arrival is too coincidental.
Normally, if you're really lucky, shouldn't you get a Spirit Ascension Fruit right away? Selling the fruit directly seems more valuable than selling information, right?
Is there some danger in that place, or perhaps...?
They came for him!
