Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 407: Everyone's Here!



Chapter 407: Everyone's Here!

Suddenly, the "white dragons'' on Li Daoye's body became even more violent, crazily drilling toward his seven apertures. With a 'pu' sound, he sprayed out a stream of blood, and the white energy dissipated abruptly.

Li Daoye opened his eyes, looking somewhat weary. He softly said, "In the Grand Qian Imperial Capital, there are probably around a hundred Spirit Blood Sect cultivators. Lord, this is no joke. If you're not careful, you could face complete destruction."

"A hundred?" Fang Chen's gaze became extremely serious. He hadn't expected there to be so many Spirit Blood Sect cultivators in the Grand Qian Imperial Capital. Among these hundred, did it include people like Tong Hu? How many of them were at the Golden Core Realm?

Fang Chen's expression changed suddenly. "Hold on..."

In reality, there might not be so many Spirit Blood Sect cultivators in the Grand Qian Imperial Capital. It was highly unreasonable for the Spirit Blood Sect to gather such a large number of powerful cultivators in one place. The Spirit Blood Sect cultivators estimated by Li Daoye likely included outsiders like the Elder of the Heavenly Southern Sect.

With many cultivators at the Golden Core, Foundation Building, and Qi Refinement Realms attending the trade conference, there were bound to be Spirit Blood Sect cultivators among them!

"If only Junior Sister Qing He were here. She can see wandering souls, and Spirit Blood Sect cultivators surely have many wandering souls entwined around them," Li Daoye said.

Fang Chen smiled. "She's here."

Now that Li Daoye had reminded him, Fang Chen decided to ask Abbess Zhu Yue about her attitude towards this matter.

Li Daoye's eyes lit up suddenly. "She's here too? That's great! It's been a long time since I last saw her."

“Abbess Zhu Yue is here too! Remember to watch your mouth later, don't speak recklessly. With her temper, she won't let it slide," Fang Chen reminded before leaving the room.

"Abbess Zhu Yue is here too?!" Li Daoye was taken aback, instinctively getting up to leave, but after a moment's thought, he sat back down. "What am I afraid of? I'm a skilled practitioner of the Yi Sect now. She'll have to give me some face!"

In the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

A servant with a smile on his face led Abbess Zhu Yue and the others to the guest seat.

"What would Abbess like to buy? For the trade conference, all items at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion are discounted," the servant said.

"Do you have Spirit Essence Pills?" Abbess Zhu Yue glanced at Fang Qingyao and Qing He, asking the servant casually.

"We do, but there are only a few left. As you know, this type of pill is in high demand on regular days, and now with the discount, every sect is coming to buy some for their disciples," the servant replied quickly. "We happen to have a set of six left. At the discounted price, it's a total of five hundred low-grade spirit stones. Would that be acceptable?"

"Five hundred? That's indeed cheap," Abbess Zhu Yue nodded lightly, taking out the spirit stones and handing them to the servant. "Thank you."

"Please wait a moment," the servant took the spirit stones and left.

"Spirit Essence Pills, three for you and Junior Sister Qingyao each, not more, not less," Abbess Zhu Yue said to Qing He with a faint smile.

"Master, you and Junior Sister Qingyao can have them. I don't really need them. I feel like my current cultivation level is sufficient," Qing He said. "In the future, Junior Sister Qingyao will have to support the Concealed Moon Hermitage, so she needs these pills more than I do."

"Senior Sister Qing He, if you don't want them, I won't either. Let's just give them all to Master," Fang Qingyao said somewhat helplessly.

"The cultivation techniques you two practice are extraordinary. When you reach the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm, there will be a bottleneck to overcome, and once you break through, your cultivation will progress smoothly," Abbess Zhu Yue said calmly. "Back then, my Master, your ancestor, took me out to buy Spirit Essence Pills. Three Spirit Essence Pills will be enough for you to overcome it."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyao and Qing He fell silent. They knew that five hundred low-grade spirit stones were definitely not a small amount for Abbess Zhu Yue. This amount could easily buy an excellent yellow rank mid-grade spiritual treasure, yet Abbess Zhu Yue chose to use it to purchase Spirit Essence Pills for them.

After a dozen moments, the servant came back with a smile on his face and handed a bottle to Abbess Zhu Yue. "Abbess, here are six Spirit Essence Pills."

Abbess Zhu Yue nodded gently, opened the bottle, and took a glance. Indeed, there were six Spirit Essence Pills inside, and the quality was quite good.

Just as she was about to leave with her disciples, Wu Jiuquan suddenly arrived with several young men.

"Where are those six Spirit Essence Pills?" he asked the servant.

The servant was slightly startled and didn’t know how to respond.

Wu Jiuquan glanced at Abbess Zhu Yue and muttered. "Sorry, I have already sold the six Spirit Essence Pills to the young master of the Fang Family."

Wu Jiuquan took a look at Abbess Zhu Yue, who was just at the Foundation Building Realm. He didn’t recognize her and that would mean that there shouldn’t be a problem when offending someone like that. He smiled and reached for the bottle in Abbess Zhu Yue's hand while instructing the servant to return the low-grade spirit stones to her.

Abbess Zhu Yue's face darkened as she tucked the bottle into her sleeve, casting a cold gaze at Wu Jiuquan. "Is this how your Heavenly Treasure Pavilion treats guests? I have already purchased the item, yet you want to snatch it from my hands and sell it to someone else?"

"Abbess, we instructed the Wu Jiuquan to set aside this item for us long ago. We’re not snatching it from you." Fang Hao frowned slightly, his tone icy.

Abbess Zhu Yue glanced at him, not bothering with the Qi Refining Realm cultivator, and turned her gaze back to Wu Jiuquan. "We have given you the spirit stones, and I have already obtained the Spirit Essence Pills. You should think of other ways to fulfill your deal."

"Esteemed Abbess, have you forgotten? This is the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Even if we step back, those who purchased these Spirit Essence Pills are young masters of the Fang Family. If you don't care about our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, you can’t offend the Fang Family in Grand Qian," Wu Jiuquan said lightly. "I don't want to escalate the situation, so I suggest you hand over the Spirit Essence Pills."

"You are being unreasonable," Fang Qingyao frowned. "There is an order for everything, and Master bought the pills first. If what you say is true and they were already claimed by a few people, your Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has been negligent. Business should be conducted with integrity."

Before stepping onto the path of cultivation, she had been the shopkeeper of the Green Medicine Hall for many years, and she had never seen such an unreasonable way of doing business.

"Junior Sister, if you still want to stay in the inner city, it's best not to argue with us," Fang Hao said with a faint smile. "You all came here for the trade conference, right? If you are expelled from the inner city by the Grand Qian Guards, you won't be able to participate in this grand event."

Abbess Zhu Yue's expression changed slightly.

Fang Qingyao and Abbess Qing He saw their master being put in the spot for the first time, and anger surged in their hearts.

"Abbess Zhu Yue," a figure approached slowly, greeting her.

"Oh, isn't that the Lord?" Abbess Qing He was slightly surprised.

"Lord…" Fang Qingyao stared blankly at Fang Chen, her eyes filled with disbelief. She even subconsciously pinched her thigh. It hurt, confirming it wasn't a dream!

"Lord Fang?" Abbess Zhu Yue was somewhat surprised.

And just then, an even more unexpected scene unfolded.

"Everyone is here!" Fang Hao suddenly exclaimed, leading a group of Fang Family disciples to bow respectfully to Fang Chen. "We pay our respects to Brother Fang Chen!"

"It's Fang Chen!"

"Has he emerged from seclusion?"

Many cultivators at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion looked over, their expressions somewhat strange. Some bewildered cultivators even hurriedly asked about Fang Chen's background.

Even Abbess Zhu Yue and the others were left bewildered.

What's going on?
