Chapter 990

The next day, news of the Five Mountain Competition spread far and wide, creating a storm.

None of the five major families in the area made it to the top ten. Many people didn't believe the rumor.

When Chen Yu arrived at the Chang Family, he was arranged to stay in a high-class cave residence and was served by maids and servants.

The Chang family didn't say anything for the first few days, letting Chen Yu live a peaceful life.

They seemed to have finally come to a conclusion.

On this day, three elders led by a white-haired old woman visited Chen Yu.

"Are you used to it?"

The white-haired old woman smiled.

"It's much better than the Yang family."

Chen Yu said honestly.

The three elders smiled. They thought that Chen Yu would put on airs to make things difficult for the Chang family and ask for benefits.

Their attitude was better than they had imagined.

"I heard that you came from another world and left the Yang family. Are you interested in becoming a member of the Chang family?"

The white-haired old woman thought for a moment and asked.

They didn't mention that Chen Yu came from a low-level world, afraid that Chen Yu would be disgusted.

The main reason they invited Chen Yu to join the Chang family was to get a spot.

Chen Yu had nowhere else to go. If they could pull him into the Chang family, it would be of great help to get a spot.

If Chen Yu was a part of the Chang family, they wouldn't be so greedy and the Chang family would be able to take the initiative.

Chen Yu smiled faintly.

Not only did the Chang family apologize to him, but they also wanted him to join the Chang family.

It was all for the sake of benefits.

Chen Yu chose to join the Chang family for his own benefit.

Therefore, he wouldn't become a member of the Chang family because it would be a bigger loss and the Chang family would benefit.

Seeing that Chen Yu wasn't interested, the three elders were slightly disappointed.

If Chen Yu became a member of the Chang family, they would not only get a spot, but they would also get a genius like Chen Yu.

Unfortunately, he wasn't stupid and wouldn't join the Chang family for no reason.

"Why don't you become a guest of the Chang Family, my young friend? You can enjoy better treatment and resources. "

The white-haired old woman said.

The binding power of guest elders was very small. In fact, they couldn't even be considered part of the Chang Family. However, the treatment that guest elders received was greater than that of the other disciples. They were equivalent to ordinary Elders.

Chen Yu had become the Chang Family's Guest Elder. As long as he didn't sign any contract, he could dissolve his relationship with the Chang Family at any time.

"Sure."

Chen Yu felt that this wasn't a big problem and casually agreed.

Seeing that Chen Yu had agreed, the expressions of the three higher-ups became slightly better.

Now that Chen Yu was a guest elder of the Chang Clan, the two sides could be considered to have some sort of relationship.

"Honorable Chen, you won first place in the Martial Arts Competition of the Five Mountains. You are highly regarded by the Tianhe Sect's top management. You are indeed a role model for the younger generation of the Five Spiritual Mountains."

A young middle-aged elder laughed. He was the weakest of the three, and at this moment, he spoke words of flattery.

"How does Honorable Chen plan to deal with these places? If you have any extra, my Chang family is willing to 'purchase' some. "

The white-haired old woman replied.

Previously, they couldn't figure out Chen Yu's attitude and only came up with a plan after several days of discussion.

As for the places in Chen Yu's hands, they couldn't help but want to make a move long ago.

"There are indeed a lot of extra places. I wonder if the Chang Clan has the ability to take them all?"

Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

Cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of the three elders. They felt that Chen Yu was about to ask for an exorbitant price.

"Honorable Chen, just say it. We still need to discuss it with the Clan Leader."

The white-haired old woman didn't dare to make the decision.

"Fifty thousand upper-grade Primal Stones for one place."

Chen Yu smiled faintly.

"Fifty thousand!"

The three elders widened their eyes and took a deep breath. They didn't speak for a long time.

That was upper-grade Primal Stones. Even an ordinary mid-stage Star Condensation cultivator might not be able to take out so many upper-grade Primal Stones.

"Honorable Chen, fifty thousand upper-grade Primal Stones for one place. Isn't it a bit too expensive?"

The white-haired old woman frowned.

"Is it expensive? I think it's worth it. "

Chen Yu said seriously.

"Allow us to discuss it with the Clan Leader. We'll give Honorable Chen an answer then."

The white-haired old woman didn't say anything else.

After the three elders left, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Fifty thousand upper-grade Primal Stones. Even if I haggle, I can at least sell it for forty thousand upper-grade Primal Stones."

Chen Yu started to calculate.

Back in the Great Cosmos Realm, the Nine Cauldron Palace had offended him. When he asked them to pay ten thousand upper-grade Primal Stones, the palace master almost fell out with them.

At this moment, Chen Yu had a total of twenty-two places. Apart from himself and three for the Falling Moon King, Zou Heng, and Lin Xuefei, there were still eighteen places left.

"Eighteen places, forty thousand upper-grade Primal Stones for one … seven hundred and twenty thousand upper-grade Primal Stones!"

After calculating the result, Chen Yu was shocked.

He'd struck it rich.

However, the Origin World's Heaven Earth Essence Qi was dense and the production of primal stones was high. The Great Cosmos Realm's ten thousand upper-grade Primal Stones were more valuable.

Even so, this time, Chen Yu had struck it rich.

"I'm afraid the Lin Clan's origin isn't simple. They gave me such a valuable place just like that, as if they don't care about it at all."

Of course, it could also be that the Lin Clan was returning the favor.

"Why do I feel that the Lin Clan is in a hurry to return the favor?"

Chen Yu said thoughtfully.

He didn't think too much about it.

He would temporarily stay with the Chang Clan and wait for their reply.

He took out a silver crystal and held it tightly in his hand. A silver ripple spread out in all directions and hid in the void far away.

This was the Silver Space Crystal, a treasure that Chen Yu had obtained from the Monster Race's treasury. It could be used to improve the comprehension of space.

After a while …

Chen Yu took out another treasure that he had obtained from the Monster Race's treasury, the Astral Essence Pill.

This pill could improve the cultivation of a Star Condensation Monarch, but he hadn't used it before.

Now that the Five Mountain Martial Meet was over, whether it was to find the Azure Sky Emperor Lord or enter the Eight Major Emperor Sects, he would need more strength. Since he had plenty of free time, Chen Yu decided to use it.

As the Astral Essence Pill was swallowed, its medicinal efficacy slowly dissolved, turning into strands of starlight that circulated around his body and eventually converged into the Yuan Energy Star in his Dantian.

In his body, apart from a complete dazzling star, there was also a slightly dim star cluster.

This was the second Yuan Energy Star that Chen Yu was condensing. Once it was completely condensed, he would be able to step into the Star Condensation Middle Stage.

But from the looks of it, there was still a long way to go.

Buzz!

The medicinal efficacy of the Astral Essence Pill converged into the second dim and incomplete star cluster.

Chen Yu circulated the Nine Heavens Vast Star Art and frantically absorbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to increase his cultivation.

Three days later …

The Chang Clan's higher-ups came to visit.

Chen Yu ended his secluded cultivation.

He had advanced to the Star Condensation Realm for a long time and had been steady. Now that he took the Astral Essence Pill, the effect was obvious in just a few days.

Chen Yu felt that he was not far from the peak of the Star Condensation Early Stage.

This time, the only visitor was the white-haired old woman.

"Have you thought about it?"

Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"Guest Elder Chen, your price is a little high. Even the Chang Clan cannot take out so many high-grade Essence Stones."

The white-haired old woman had an awkward look on her face.

Chen Yu did not take these words to heart. As long as the Chang Clan was not greedy, they would definitely be able to take out the Essence Stones.

"After the Chang Clan's upper echelons discussed, they agreed that this price is too high. It would be more reasonable if it could be lowered to 95,555."

The white-haired old woman stated their price.

Chen Yu shook his head lightly, not saying a word.

The two talked for a while.

The white-haired old woman made a suggestion, "Guest Elder Chen has too many quotas. Even if it's 95,555 each, the Chang Clan would not be able to swallow them all."

"How about this, the Chang Clan will use 95,555 high-grade Essence Stones to purchase a certain number of quotas. As for the remaining quotas, the Chang Clan will sell them on behalf of Guest Elder Chen. Moreover, I guarantee that the price will be above 90,555."

Chen Yu thought for a while and felt that it was a good idea.

He had too many quotas. The Chang Clan would not be able to swallow them all.

If Chen Yu went to negotiate with them one by one, it would waste a lot of time and there would be a certain degree of danger.

It would be much easier for him to let the Chang Clan handle these matters. It would also save him a lot of labor costs.

Chen Yu agreed.

This was a win-win situation.

"However, I have another condition. The Yang Clan should not need these quotas."

As for the other clans, Chen Yu only had some grudges with the younger generation. It would not affect their cooperation.

"I understand."

The white-haired old woman nodded.

Next, the two sides signed a contract to prevent the Chang Clan from swallowing Chen Yu's quotas.

…

Becoming a guest elder of the Chang Clan and having a cooperation that would benefit them, the Chang Clan's attitude towards Chen Yu was extremely good.

Chen Yu could feel that the Chang Clan had completely put down their grudges. Even the white-haired old woman's granddaughter, the elegant Chang Yuya, would calmly chat with Chen Yu when she saw him.

On this day, Chang Yuya arrived.

"Guest Chen, this is the information about the Lin Clan."

She was elegant and dignified as she put down a booklet.

In fact, she was a little puzzled. The Lin Clan took such good care of Chen Yu. Did Chen Yu not know about the Lin Clan? Why did he investigate their information?

Chen Yu picked it up and flipped through it.

The Lin Clan, a peak four-star human clan, a Demigod clan!

Chen Yu could not help but be shocked.

The Lin Clan was so powerful and they even had a Demigod!

No wonder the five clans were so respectful towards the middle-aged man. He was not only a senior member of an Emperor Sect, but his clan was also so powerful.

"Guest Advisor Chen, there are still five more months before the recruitment of the Eight Great Emperor Sects. Have you made up your mind? Which sect will you choose?"

Chang Yuya asked with a smile.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Chen Yu said subconsciously.

However, according to the information in front of him, choosing the Tianhe Sect and being protected by the Lin Clan was indeed a good choice.

Even if the Tianhe Sect was not suitable for him, his cultivation path would be much smoother.

"Oh?"

Chang Yuya didn't believe it. From her point of view, Chen Yu would definitely choose the Tianhe Sect.

She had also made the same choice.

The Tianhe Sect was close to the Chang Clan and they had Chen Yu as a guest elder. He would also be protected by the Lin Clan, so it would be a smooth journey for him to enter the Tianhe Sect.

Chen Yu quickly finished reading the information of the Lin Clan and found that there was more information at the back.

"This is the information about the Royal Azure Sky Lord that you wanted."

Chang Yuya stared at Chen Yu and carefully observed him.

Chen Yu didn't care about her and continued reading.

Although there was a Mysterious Dark Realm expert called the Royal Azure Sky Lord in the Origin World, it was hard to say if he was the same one from the Great Cosmos World.

"The Royal Azure Sky Lord colluded with foreign races and guarded the Disordered Ocean Plains for a thousand years to atone for his crimes …"

Chen Yu's gaze turned solemn.

At the end, it was stated that the Royal Azure Sky Lord came from a low-level world.

Chen Yu was sure that this was the person he was looking for.

"Disordered Ocean Plains …"
