Chapter 2168.2: Cerulean Sword Dragon, Suppressed Memories
As savage as Bloodbath was, he was a principled person. Yu Qianhua and the others paused their training, looking at Lu Yun with surprise. It was understandable that the young master had robbed the Ouyang trading headquarters, but now he wanted to seize the Ling family treasure?
That was… that was so exciting!
A family’s ultimate treasure was the basis of their existence. The clan wouldn’t be far from destruction if it was lost.
He was going to uproot the Lings!
“Is this how you train in the army?” Lu Yun turned around and barked at the men. The twenty-nine jerked with dismay and calmed their hearts again, reentering meditation.
“Do you trust them so easily?” Bloodbath asked faintly with a glance at the young man.
Lu Yun nodded wordlessly. The goodwill from them was pure and genuine. They could be trusted. Plus, he believed his own eye for people—it was developed over three thousand reincarnations. Additionally, there was that even more mysterious lifetime that’d been sealed away.
Although it was inaccessible, he retained some instincts from it.
“This is a Stillness Talisman. It will quiet the energy ripples on you when active and conceal you from even nascent soul cultivators.” Lu Yun handed a talisman to Bloodbath.
The elder placed it in a storage ring and sat down cross-legged. Bloody radiance winked in and out of sight around him as he practiced the Canon of the Blood God.
……
“Do you trust them so easily?” A scholarly Lu Xiaochi appeared after Lu Yun left the house, holding a book and posing the same question as Bloodbath had. He, however, included the old man in his questioning.
“Use not people you suspect and suspect not people you use,” Lu Yun quoted with a smile.
“Very good! You possess the same charisma as your grandfather!” Lu Xiaochi roared with laughter.
Lu Yun pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. This was a walk in the park after three thousand reincarnations and three thousand worlds of experience recruiting people. When it came to Bloodbath… he’d fully lashed the old man to the Lu war chariot with the Canon of the Blood God.
“Aren’t you afraid of Bloodbath capturing you and forcing you to give the rest of the canon to him?” Lu Xiaochi stopped laughing.
“Only smart people live longer. Bloodbath being able to survive the joint search of the three ninth rank cultivation empires means that he is a smart person,” Lu Yun responded solemnly.
Lu Xiaochi blinked, not knowing what to say next.
“Bloodbath will visit the Ling Clan after a while and take their pill cauldron. I’ll be able to break your Severed Meridians Hold then, second uncle,” Lu Yun changed the topic.
Lu Xiaochi trembled and he whispered, “You mean… you’ve established your foundations?”
Lu Yun nodded.
“Your grandfather was right! Your potential is unparalleled and had you been willing to train since childhood, there would be four gentlemen of the capital!” The Lu second master smiled with gratification.
Lu Yun was only sixteen, which placed him on par with Ouyang Shengmu and Ouyang Shenghe. Ouyang Shengtian had established his foundations at ten years old and Lu Xiaochi… when he was six.
Four gentlemen of the capital? Are you insulting me, uncle? Lu Yun curled his lip.
“Right then, come with me.” Lu Xiaochi suddenly thought of something and walked toward the family vaults. Lu Yun seemed to grasp something as he watched his uncle and followed the man.
Latter golden core elder Lu Jiu was on duty and walked out when he saw Lu Xiaochi. He frowned and huffed disapprovingly when he saw Lu Yun.
“Uncle Jiu, please open the secret vault. Yun’er has established his foundations,” said Lu Xiaochi.

“Established his foundations?” Lu Jiu looked with surprise at Lu Yun and nodded slightly. “So you’ve finally lived up to the patriarch’s care. Come with me.”
“Secret vault?” Lu Yun blinked.
“We have the external vaults and a secret vault,” Lu Xiaochi explained. “What you see normally is our external vaults. The real treasure is kept within the secret vault, and I’m only letting you know about this because you’ve finally matured.”
Lu Yun smiled wryly. With his previous personality, he’d rush in and empty the secret vault if he’d known of it.
An expressionless Lu Jiu walked into the empty external vault and formed a few hand seals, sending a slight tremor through the structure.
Rumble!!
The formation guarding the vaults cracked open and the floor slowly split beneath them, revealing a long stairway that stretched into the ground.
“The secret vault is beneath. Second master, I will remain on guard outside while you enter with Lu Yun,” Lu Jiu said.
Lu Xiaochi nodded and strode to the staircase. Lu Yun quickly took out a storage ring from his own and tossed it to Lu Jiu.
“Elder Jiu, I’ve been a bit busy these days and didn’t have time to give these to you. I leave their contents in your hands.” He quickly shuffled after his second uncle.
Lu Jiu looked at the ring and curiously scanned it with his consciousness.
“Storage rings? What did he give me a storage ring worth of storage rings for?” Lu Jiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. There were more than fifty storage rings inside, enough to make a small pile.
“Storage rings are immensely valuable to ordinary cultivators, but they are nothing to the seven great families…” He took out a ring at random and sent his consciousness into it, wanting to see how much space there was inside. Subconsciously, he felt that the good-for-nothing young master of his family knew so little of the world that the boy thought even storage rings were precious.
“Um? Hmm? Hmm hmm?!” Lu Jiu squawked like a choking duck and made strange gurgling noises.
The storage ring was only nine meters wide, but it was filled to the brim with upper rank stones the size of a fist. There were at least one hundred thousand spirit stones in here!
Even with Lu Jiu’s cultivation of latter golden core, his heart couldn’t help but spasm painfully. When he recovered from his daze, he hastily took out all of the rings and scanned each of them.
“The wealth in these rings is more than what we had in our prime! Where did the young master get all of this from?” Lu Jiu stared fixedly at all of them and murmured, “As I thought, the young master of old was an act…”
……
“What did you just give Uncle Jiu?” Lu Xiaochi asked curiously when his nephew caught up to him.
“Whatever I don’t need from the Ouyang trading headquarters,” Lu Yun responded casually.
“The Ouyang trading headquarters?” Lu Xiaochi blinked. “You really robbed them?!”
Although he’d heard rumors of the Lu young master seizing everything from the Ouyang trading headquarters, he’d snorted and thought nothing of the wild stories. He knew what Lu Yun was capable of. Plundering wealth that’d been accumulated for over thousands of years? Even ten nascent soul powerhouses would be beaten to death and thrown out if they attempted to do so, to say nothing of his nephew!
“What, is there anyone else who can do the deed?” Lu Yun smirked.
“I thought the Ouyangs had released the rumors on purpose as a pretext to move against us again,” Lu Xiaochi said dazedly.
The Ouyangs had sent people to kick in their doors during the past two days, but Lu Xiaochi once again paid them no heed. He thought the family was using Lu Yun embarrassing them as an excuse to stir up trouble. Who would’ve thought that his nephew really had looted their trading headquarters?
It’d only been a few days, but the number one prodigal of Dusk City had committed numerous stunning acts. First he’d robbed the Lingtian Pill Pavilion, one of the top five in the capital, then killed the Ouyang and Yuwen patriarchs. And now he’d cleaned out the Ouyang trading headquarters!
“This is wealth that the Ouyangs have accumulated over thousands of years…” Lu Xiaochi’s heart clenched painfully.
“Pfft, oh ye of little experience in the world.” Lu Yun shook his head. This level of wealth was insignificant in his view. He’d only handed over part of his gains. Thousands of years of accumulation meant just the spirit stones at the headquarters was a fully thirty percent of the Ouyang Clan’s wealth. The pills, medicines, treasures, ingredients, and materials that he’d collected were far greater than the spirit stones.
Lu Yun had taken such a bite out of the family that he’d half crippled them.
Uncle and nephew reached the end of the staircase. They were three hundred meters below the ground in a space one hundred and twenty meters wide. Protected above and below by a formation of earth origin, night pearls were embedded in the walls. It was filled with incredibly precious treasures.
