Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 240 - 240 239 Daoist Sect Visitor

240: Chapter 239: Daoist Sect Visitor 240: Chapter 239: Daoist Sect Visitor The two found a quiet place to complete the transaction.

In addition to Spirit Stones, there were elixirs and a few pieces of material that looked quite special.

All the other odds and ends were given to Dong Fangfei.

To his surprise, the amount he received was even more than what Daoist Xiaosong had, nearly two thousand Spirit Stones.

Just how did this Daoist manage to amass all this?

Dong Fangfei was also very satisfied.

The treasures were all quite nice, and once she returned to the Southeast region, she could easily make a profit by splitting the earnings.

With a beaming smile, she said,

“Senior Brother doesn’t need to be so surprised.

It’s common for someone from the Daoist Sects to have such wealth, average to above average, but not yet a true tycoon.

How about it, should I introduce you to a tycoon so we can make a fortune off him too?”

Hou Niao was speechless, “Are you really from the Hehe Sect?

Why do I feel like you’re more like a mountain king?”

After joking for a bit, Dong Fangfei probed, “Senior Brother, do you have a past with Daoist Chong Ling?”

Hou Niao fell into silence briefly, knowing that some things can’t be hidden from others, but as long as it doesn’t involve any secret low-key missionary work, nothing else really matters,

“I entered the sect with the support of the Daoist, intending to repay him in the future.

I just didn’t expect that now I could only help him seek revenge.”

Dong Fangfei fell silent as well, and after a while, she asked, “If I have issues in the future, would Senior Brother also draw your sword in anger for me?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she knew they were inappropriate.

She sighed inwardly and quickly changed the subject, “The Anhe Daoist Sect and Wu Sect are currently relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside.

Senior Brother, you’ve succeeded once, but don’t assume you’ll be successful a second time.”

Hou Niao nodded, “Don’t worry, I have no plans to do this a second time.

The longer the game drags on, the more interesting it gets.

Dying now would be a kind of release, wouldn’t it?”

Dong Fangfei’s heart grew cold.

She knew this Sword Cultivator would never let this matter go.

This was the way of the Demon Sects.

You couldn’t say whether it was good or bad.

As an opponent, they were the most ruthless devils; as friends, they were a real source of reliance.

She didn’t know what fruits this friendship, which she had invested so much effort and care into, would bear?

The path ahead was unclear, but perhaps it would be thrilling?

“I’ll be leaving tomorrow.

Staying with you, a lunatic, makes me worry that one day I won’t ever be able to leave Anhe Country!

If you ever pass through Sangmo Country by the Harmony Dao, I will definitely treat you with great courtesy, Senior Brother.

There are many fairies there even more beautiful than me, and who knows, maybe there will be some who want to collaborate with you?”

…Hou Niao finally had money.

Since the beginning of his cultivation, he had never been as wealthy as he was now, a total of three thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.

Surely he could buy some things with them, right?

These past few days, he, who seldom frequented elixir shops, had visited several Elixir Shops, not to buy anything but to confirm what kind of inventory Daoist Xiaosong had.

After comparing, he realized Daoist Xiaosong was very well prepared, with two bottles of twenty Tongtian Pills each and one bottle of ten Sa Qi Pills, basically the essentials for a Breakthrough.

These elixirs didn’t need to be prepared in too large quantities, as they were meant for Tongxuan period Cultivators, had powerful effects, and completely satisfied the demand for a Breakthrough.

Moreover, he might not even need them.

As for the bitter lung material, Daoist Xiaosong had prepared Snow Dew, which was the most common lung-cleansing dew.

There were no higher-grade goods available, and Hou Niao wondered if Xiaosong hadn’t prepared them yet or didn’t think they would be needed.

Hou Niao didn’t dare to be negligent, especially since he had a full wallet.

He bit the bullet and spent a significant amount of money to purchase some Wind Mist and even a small bottle of the finest Stone Marrow Spirit Milk.

He didn’t know if he would ever need them, but these materials could retain their value even if unused, right?

Just these slightly higher-grade items cost him a thousand Spirit Stones, making him realize that his current wealth was actually not much in Divine City, merely a few dozen high-grade Spirit Stones.

He restrained himself from looking at the sword-making materials, very aware of his temperament.

If he saw something truly suitable for the Lonely Sword, he wouldn’t be able to resist, whether it was needed right now or not.

This was a common problem for Sword Cultivators.

The Upper Realm first; all else must wait.

He was not yet at the stage of being completely indifferent to external things, especially when it came to swords.

After a busy day, he returned fulfilled, only to be pulled aside by Rao Zongzhi as soon as he stepped into the guest room, with an air of secrecy,

“Come to my room, I have some good news.”

Hou Niao was quite puzzled, but followed him to Rao Zongzhi’s room, only to see Luo Linwang having a joyful conversation with a Daoist.

This was a Bridge Connection Daoist, whom he vaguely remembered, as he had appeared among the disciples of Anhe who participated in Southwest debates, performed well while crossing the lake but was defeated quickly.

After exchanging pleasantries and introducing themselves, it turned out to be Daoist Nan Guang from Anhe Daoist Sect.

Nan Guang greeted them with a gesture, “I would like to thank the Daoists from Quanzhen Sect for their great support during the debate in the Southwest.

With the current delicate situation in Divine City, and the Wu Sect disciples refusing to leave, the large reception we had decided to hold cannot continue.

I’ve come here privately, and I hope you don’t blame the Anhe Daoist Sect for any slight.”

Typically, as the senior brother, it was Rao Zongzhi’s turn to respond, “Why should Daoist Nan Guang be concerned?

Although Quanzhen Sect is a Holy Sect, we understand the principle that without the lips, the teeth will feel the cold.

Helping your Anhe Daoist Sect is helping ourselves, so there’s no question of slight.”

Daoist Nan Guang looked somewhat troubled, “The Anhe Daoist Sect currently faces internal and external troubles; it’s not as it once was.

We can’t even talk tough, let alone stand tall.

But one thing – we in Anhe Daoist Sect always remember to repay our debts of gratitude.

We may not be able to repay now, but whether we can in the future is uncertain.

Let’s not dwell on idle talk.

I’ve been instructed by a few of my Elders to invite three Daoist friends to an adventure in Tongling Cave Heaven.

I wonder if you three would be interested?”

Hou Niao was still a bit dazed, but Rao Zongzhi and Luo Linwang both showed excitement.

Rao Zongzhi felt a little embarrassed,

“So many brothers came here for the debate, and only the three of us…

Please don’t misunderstand, Daoist Nan Guang.

I also know that the spots in Tongling Cave Heaven are limited, but it feels like we’ve stolen the opportunity from the other brothers.”

Nan Guang smiled, “Tongling Cave Heaven opens every three years, and each time only nine Cultivators can enter.

It’s impossible to accommodate everyone; there are always the fortunate and those with less fortune.

That’s cultivation.”

Rao Zongzhi appeared thoughtful, “I understand now.

It seems we’ve benefited from Junior Brother Hou’s good fortune.

Well, if we can’t satisfy everyone, there’s no point in being overly courteous.

But the other six chosen ones are…?”

Daoist Nan Guang looked slightly embarrassed, “Three from the Anhe Daoist Sect, three from the Wu Sect, and three from your Sect.

It’s an unavoidable balance.

Anhe is in a difficult situation; I hope you three Daoists will understand.”

Rao Zongzhi had more to say, but seeing Nan Guang’s expression, he didn’t want to press too hard.

This wasn’t an issue for one or a few people, but a problem for the entire Anhe Daoist Sect.

As disciples of Anhe, who would want this?

After all, for the Anhe Daoist Sect, is there really any fundamental difference between Quanzhen Sect and Wu Sect?
