A cluster of seven-colored light appeared in Lu Yu's hand, and when the light faded, a Seven-Colored Glazed Tower appeared in his palm.
Guan Hai's pupils narrowed, and he exclaimed in shock, "Seven-Colored Glazed Tower!"
The Seven-Colored Glazed Tower is a spiritual treasure that only an artifact refining master can forge. Although it's only seventh grade, its defensive strength rivals that of an eighth-grade spiritual armor, making it the pinnacle of seventh-grade spiritual treasures.
As long as Lu Yu activates the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower, it will shield him, and no one present could break through its defenses.
He Yichao also gasped, "Is this truly the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower?"
If it truly is the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower, this spiritual treasure would be worth at least tens of millions in gold, which both He Yichao and Guan Hai agreed was justified for its value.
While everyone was in shock, Lu Yu casually drew out a Blue Crystal Card between his fingers and said lightly, "I also participated in the auction, which cost me quite some money. There's only 10 million left on the card, and I wanted to sell some spiritual treasures to make some money."
The numbers on the Blue Crystal Card indicated that Lu Yu wasn't lying; there truly was over 10 million gold left, which both He Yichao and Guan Hai clearly saw.
Lu Yu deposited all of his gold coins into the Blue Crystal Card, and the amount inside barely surpassed 10 million.
This money included what Lu Yu gained from the Huang family, the sales from seventh-grade spiritual weapons, and a large amount of previously accumulated loot in the form of gold coins.
He calmly scanned the crowd, and everyone seemed to feel the pressure of wealth, involuntarily lowering their heads.
Participating in the auction cost him quite a bit of money, leaving only 10 million, yet he could casually produce a top-tier seventh-grade spiritual treasure worth millions. Every move Lu Yu made exuded the aura of a wealthy individual.
Guan Hai now had no doubts that Lu Yu could take out 53 million gold to buy that sea creature. But more than Lu Yu spending 53 million on the sea creature, he was interested in Lu Yu wanting to sell some spiritual treasures for money.
If he could buy the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower in Lu Yu's hand, it would be worth it even if it cost him everything.
With this spiritual treasure, Guan Hai could roam the Sea of Qi Realm unhindered, as no Sea of Qi Realm could break through his defenses.
Within an instant, Guan Hai's expression shifted dramatically, his demeanor severe and unyielding as he shouted, "The He family must provide a reasonable explanation for attacking my Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple, or I will report this to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and they will decide everything!"
"While providing an explanation, you must compensate my Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple's losses."
Guan Hai glanced around the area and, seeing the houses turned to dust and the chaotic furniture, declared loudly, "The He family trespassed into my Divine Weapon Pavilion's branch dormitory, destroyed buildings, damaged disciples' belongings, and caused serious mental harm to my disciple Lu Yu."
"According to the laws of Yunhai City, the He family must compensate Lu Yu 1 million in housing damages, 1 million in property damages, and 1 million in mental damages."
The 1 million was a number Guan Hai casually threw out, believing that to Lu Yu, who had millions in savings and could casually trade a spiritual treasure worth millions, 3 million was just a drop in the bucket.
"Damn, that's really harsh. If the He family truly compensates me with 3 million..." Lu Yu couldn't help but think as he looked at Guan Hai.
He Yichao's face turned ashen; Guan Hai's sudden resolute stance caught him off guard. If it was just maneuvering at the Yunhai City level with the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he might still have a chance.
But once this matter reached the Divine Weapon Pavilion headquarters, a force spanning the entire Grand Zhou Dynasty, they wouldn't care about a little He family from Yunhai City; they would definitely stand by their disciple.
If they don't even protect their disciples, how will others perceive the Divine Weapon Pavilion?
Even if the little mermaid wasn't won by Lu Yu, the Divine Weapon Pavilion would create evidence to prove the little mermaid was won by Lu Yu, standing on the side of the disciple's reason.
A bigger fist is the rationale.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion's fist is numerous times bigger than the He family's, so if it really escalates, the He family will surely suffer a loss.
In the end, He Yichao could only retreat with an excuse, saying that sensing the presence of a sea race monster, motivated by the He family's duty to Yunhai City's safety, led him to enter the Divine Weapon Pavilion dormitory to battle the sea race.
During the battle, he accidentally damaged Lu Yu's room, inadvertently damaged Lu Yu's property, and almost mistakenly injured Lu Yu, causing mental harm.
The He family is willing to compensate 3 million to resolve this matter.
As for the little merfolk, He Yichao didn't mention a word.
Was there a little merfolk? I didn't see any. Our He family sensed the sea race's demon energy, which is why we accidentally intruded into the Divine Weapon Pavilion dormitory and unintentionally damaged the building during the battle.
This matter has nothing to do with the little merfolk.
Regarding the little merfolk being bought at the Deep Blue Auction, you must have made a mistake; the He family didn't purchase the little merfolk, someone else did. Yes, exactly.
The He family merely sensed the sea race's demon energy and then accidentally damaged Lu Yu's house and property during the fight, truly with no intentional aspect.
He Yichao was willing to compromise, and Guan Hai was also reluctant to continue entangling, after all, continued entanglement wouldn't benefit him.
He still needed to stay in Yunhai City in the future; if he overly offended the He family, they might cause him trouble at every turn. Even with the backing of the enormous Divine Weapon Pavilion, it wouldn't be pleasant.
Moreover, saying to report to the Divine Weapon Pavilion headquarters was just rhetoric; there's no real way he could report it, as he didn't have the authority. At the very least, he would need to climb to the level of a person in charge to contact the headquarters.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, could report it, but he was the principal here, and him reporting it would have been seen as causing trouble and then requiring the Divine Weapon Pavilion's assistance.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion definitely wouldn't help a disciple clean up unless he was a very important disciple.
When Lu Yu chose the second path, Zhao Tianjue had already mentioned that the Divine Weapon Pavilion wouldn't help him clean up, meaning it was very likely they wouldn't assist him.
Because if the Divine Weapon Pavilion acted to help Lu Yu clean up, it would indicate that Lu Yu had an extraordinary identity, contrary to the Divine Weapon Pavilion's intention to conceal Lu Yu's identity.
Reporting one's trouble by oneself versus others reporting it to the higher-ups leads to completely different results.
The former makes people suspect you want the Divine Weapon Pavilion to help you clean up and solve the problem.
The latter would only make the Divine Weapon Pavilion feel that someone is provoking them, creating trouble for their disciples.
In all respects, the Divine Weapon Pavilion would proactively resolve the matter.
Holding the 3 million gold given by He Yichao, Lu Yu couldn't help but marvel at how easily the money came.
A few more times, and his wealth would double.
Taking out the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower was a carefully considered decision by Lu Yu, as the likelihood of it attracting Core Formation Realm martial cultivators was small.
A top-tier seventh-grade spiritual treasure, with defensive strength rivaling eighth-grade spiritual armor, might attract interest from Core Formation Realm martial cultivators.
However, defense-type spiritual treasures are a disadvantage for the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower.
Generally speaking, a defensive spiritual treasure only becomes a trophy if the holder is very weak, unable to activate it before being killed.
Otherwise, the defensive spiritual treasure is likely to break before the holder's death, leaving the victor unable to acquire the opponent's defense-type spiritual treasure.
The Seven-Colored Glazed Tower is somewhat different; it requires infusing spiritual power to use, meaning an opponent could exhaust the holder's spiritual power, rendering the tower defenseless, and then seize it.
In Lu Yu's hands, this wasn't much of a problem. As long as he withstood the first round of attacks, Lu Yu could take the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower and teleport back to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, leaving his opponent tilting at windmills.
Stowing away the 3 million gold, Lu Yu looked at Lin Tao in the distance.
Lin Tao's expression was extremely complicated now; he never imagined Lu Yu would be the type of wealthy person he loathed.
Furthermore, seeing Lu Yu easily acquire the 3 million gold that took all of his effort to earn, he couldn't help feeling twisted inside.
Lu Yu's expression remained indifferent as he withdrew his gaze, from now on completely severing ties with Lin Tao.
After everyone else left, Hai Wei finally lifted her head and extended her small hand, "Here you go."
In her hand was the ring inlaid with the Light and Shadow Treasure Pearl.
After the others had left, Guan Hai returned alone. Seeing the Light and Shadow Treasure Pearl ring in Hai Wei's hand, he couldn't help but be astonished, not expecting Lu Yu to give such a precious item to a sea race.
But thinking of Lu Yu's level of wealth, it made sense; to him, the Light and Shadow Treasure Pearl wasn't too expensive.
Guan Hai, excited with anticipation, rubbed his hands, walking up to Lu Yu cautiously to ask, "Um, Lord Lu, I wonder what spiritual treasure you're planning to sell? I have many friends in Yunhai City; they're all wealthy, and I can help you recommend it."
Lu Yu glanced at him, thinking: The friend you're talking about is yourself, right!
The look of anticipation in Guan Hai's eyes didn't need to be expressed; Lu Yu could feel it. He was surely covetous of the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower, but Lu Yu was impossible to sell it to him.
After all, the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower could only be bought once every three months, and Lu Yu purchased it for 60 million points, which equates to 6 million gold.
This is the price in the marketplace, and if he were to sell it, the price would definitely double.
The higher-grade the item, the rarer it is, and the larger the discrepancy between the marked price in the marketplace.
The discrepancy in price reflects the value brought about by rarity.
