Chapter 28: Loky's Hope

  "Master Hua Yun, you must be Master Hua Yun!" Lokuen greeted Hua Yun with a warm and enthusiastic face.

  "Who are you?" Hua Yun looked at the young man in front of her with a unique aura, full of confusion.

  "This is the case, my name is Luokun, I came here to ask Master Huayun for something. Let's go inside and talk about it!" After glancing at the corpses on the main street, Luokun somewhat disgustedly pulled Huayun towards the inn.

  "This, this side of the matter has not been dealt with yet!" The people on the ground, including Kiwami, can be said to have died because of Huayun, so Huayun is waiting for the arrival of the Kodo Town Security Team.

  "It's nothing, it's nothing. Such trivial matters can be handled by others, why bother Master Huayun? Kaxiu, you take care of things here!"

  In Lokoun's mind, Hua Yun was a Planter, and on the continent of Allen, Planters held extremely high status. It wasn't just that killing a few mercenaries wouldn't be a big deal, even if he had killed a few small nobles, the kingdom still wouldn't offend a Planter for their sake. What he didn't know was that Hua Yun didn't have any badges issued by the Planters' Guild or the Planters' Association on his body.

  Since Lokoun said so, Huayun, who didn't want to stay here anyway, followed Lokoun and others into the inn, while Kari still closely followed behind Lokoun.

  With Hua Yun's discerning eye, it was clear that Luo Kuen was no ordinary person. A Seventh-Order White Gold Warrior like him would be a sought-after recruit in any country on the continent. Yet, Luo Kuen had not one but two Seventh-Order White Gold Warriors serving as his personal bodyguards, which meant that his status must be quite extraordinary.

  Killing a few mercenaries was still quite troublesome for the Lizard Blade Mercenary Group, but to Lokuen, it was an utterly trivial matter.

  What puzzled Hua Yun was that this Luo Kun couldn't have come here for no reason, and it seemed like he had come specifically to find him. He had just arrived in this world not long ago and hadn't interacted with many people, so why would someone like Luo Kun come looking for him? What could be the reason for finding him?

  Those mercenaries living in the inn, after seeing Lokoun walk in, all retreated back to their own rooms. A person like Lokoun, they couldn't afford to provoke him, if they were to offend him, even if they died, no one would care.

  Roen and Linda also returned to their own house, but they didn't follow after Huayun. Their attention was still focused on Huayun's house, after all, although it was unlikely that Lokkun would be unfavorable to Huayun, necessary vigilance couldn't be lacking.

  Kari waited at the door while Lokuen followed Huayun into the house.

  "Who are you? How did you know me? What brings you here?"

  As soon as he sat down, Hua Yun threw out three questions to Luo Kuen.

  "Hehe, Master Huayun, it's like this. My name is Luoke Yun, and I originally came to the Demon Domain Mountain Range for adventure. But unexpectedly, at this critical moment, I reached the peak of a 5th rank White Silver Warrior. So, I've been searching everywhere for the Divine Gift Fruit, but after looking in many places, we still couldn't find it. We just arrived here today, and the Plant Master's shop in Kodo Town didn't have any 6th rank Divine Gift Fruits either. The shopkeeper, Balok, said that you might have some here, so we came to look for you."

  As Luoke Yun, although his personality is not arrogant, he generally speaks with a hint of superiority when talking to others. However, in front of Hua Yun, it's unclear whether it's because he has something to ask of her or if he's been influenced by Hua Yun's unique temperament, but Luoke Yun appears extremely humble.

  "Five-tiered White Silver Warrior at the peak?" Hua Yun carefully sized up Lok'Kuren, and was quite shocked in his heart. He hadn't expected that this young man had already reached the power of a Kiwan at such a young age. Hua Yun completely forgot that he had just defeated Kiwan earlier.

  Huā Yún now also has some divine fruit on his body, but they are all low-ranking divine fruits. They were brought from the Kē Duō town's plant shop and Sà Hā for research purposes. To successfully upgrade Luò Kù ēn's rank, it is necessary to have the energy contained in the sixth-rank divine fruit. With Huā Yún's current cultivation of the Niè Tiān technique, even if he tries his best, there is only a small chance of success.

  Hua Yun, who possessed the Reverse Heaven Technique, knew that a good man is not guilty, but one who harbors jade will be punished. However, since Lok'Kuren and the others had saved him before, he would try to help them if he could.

  Thinking of this, Hua Yun steeled herself and said: "I don't know how many days it will take for your cultivation to reach the peak of the fifth stage."

  Luoke Yun's heart was filled with joy, and Master Huayun actually asked this, so there is at least a glimmer of hope.

  "Two days, about two days!" Lokuen hastily said.

  After a moment of contemplation, Huayun said to Luokuen: "I have a sixth-grade divine fruit here, but it's not yet fully ripe. Even if I accelerate its growth with my special method, the success rate would only be 50% in two days. If you're willing, I can give it a try!"

  "Will do, of course!" Lokuen agreed without hesitation. He knew that if he continued to search in other towns, the chances of finding a sixth-grade Divine Fruit were slim, and Huayun had a 50% success rate, which was already beyond his expectations.

  "My method is extremely special, since you agreed, I need your help for the next few days, can you do that?" Huayun's face was stern, but in fact, he didn't have any sixth-grade divine fruit. His plan was to use the divine fruit as a supplement to his own reverse heaven technique to unlock the seal within Luoke's body. The sixth-grade divine fruit he mentioned was just an excuse Huayun made up so that others wouldn't discover his secret.

  "Want me to help?" Lokuen was slightly puzzled in his heart, although he didn't understand the Plant Master at all, but also knew that he couldn't help with cultivating the Divine Fruit. However, Lokuen only hesitated for a moment before immediately agreeing to Huayun.

  After instructing Kari outside the door not to disturb him, Lokuen asked Huayun, "Master Huayun, what exactly do you need my help with?"

  "Transfer your inner Qi to me slowly!"
