Chapter 537 - 528
"What is your honor’s surname?" Sun Ke asked cautiously.
"I am Cloud-Ascending Dragon Gongsun Sheng!" Chen Mu said with a serious face.
Sun Ke: "..."
Fine, I’ll just take that as your real name then.
"Mr. Gongsun, may I ask what you would like me to sell?"
Chen Mu handed over a big wooden box, the size of a medicine chest.
"Fasting Pills?" Sun Ke looked at the fifty porcelain bottles inside the box with delight.
However, he soon felt troubled, "These are highly sought-after items, usually not hard to sell, but now Luandu County is not very safe, and many Qi Cultivators are fleeing in all directions. It might be tough to sell these..."
"Hmm?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.
"It’s not at all difficult, I will go to the neighboring county, and they will be sold out very quickly!" Sun Ke said with a solemn face.
This ability to be so submissive or assertive... Hah!
"Do you know about the secret technique the Da Qian Imperial Court is using to capture Qi Cultivators?" Chen Mu glanced at Sun Ke as he asked.
"Not too clear, I only know the more crowded the place, the easier it is to be discovered. One can only be slightly safer by hiding in remote and desolate mountains," Sun Ke shook his head.
That’s a bit troublesome then.
He had seven to eight hundred bottles of Fasting Pills in his possession, and he planned to continue earning White Jade Coins through alchemy.
If Sun Ke were to be caught, given the current situation in Luandu County, finding a new intermediary would not be easy.
"Take this with you." Chen Mu took out a small cloth pouch from the Five Ghosts Bag.
"What is this?" Sun Ke looked at about a dozen goose egg-sized stones in the pouch with a puzzled face.
"Extinguishing Breath Stones, one can last for one hour, and it can conceal your vital energy, evading detection. With its assistance, you’ll definitely be able to avoid the investigation methods of the Da Qian Imperial Court."
"Really?" Sun Ke was overjoyed.
"Of course!" Chen Mu said indifferently.
Hmm, let Sun Ke try them. If he gets caught...
Then it would just be regrettable to find a new intermediary.
Chen Mu glanced at Sun Ke with a calm demeanor.
"We will meet here in five days; no problems, right?"
Sun Ke felt a tingling on his scalp.
Just five days?
To run to the neighboring county, find the Qi Cultivator hermits in hiding, sell the Fasting Pills and then return, all the while carefully avoiding the search parties?
You want me dead!
I won’t do it!
"Absolutely no problem!" Sun Ke said, bowing with a fist in hand.
"You agree so readily. You’re not planning to run away, are you?" The corners of Chen Mu’s mouth curled up.
You read me like a book!
Sun Ke kept his facial expression unchanged, filled with solemnity, "What are you saying, sir? Are you slandering me?"
Hah!
"Run if you want to, if you think you can escape."
Sun Ke’s face twitched, as if he felt something squirming in his spine again.
"Time is pressing. If the gentleman has no other instructions, I will depart immediately!"
"Go ahead." Chen Mu said with a light laugh and a wave of his hand.
Without hesitation, Sun Ke bowed and made his exit.
He did not want to stay in this place a moment longer.
He immediately decided to play dumb, showing a timely expression of confusion, "Green Satchel Chapter? What is that?"
"Haha, the Green Satchel Chapter is a secret technique used to condense a Blood Pouch, marking the beginning of the Underworld God Martial Arts, originating from Gao Zhan, the first head of Lock Dragon Courtyard," Yuan Dong said with a proud look on his face.
Underworld God Martial Arts? Is this the secret Martial Dao technique that allows the Imperial Court of Da Qian to compete with Qi Cultivators?
Chen Mu realized in his heart.
"Not knowing the Green Satchel Chapter, yet able to reshape the body and cultivate the first transformation of Underworld God only proves that you have exceptional talent; your ancestors might have been Qi Cultivating Demon Immortals." Yuan Dong eagerly stared at Chen Mu’s deep blue right arm.
"Would you be interested in joining our Lock Dragon Courtyard? You should know that half of the Underworld God secret techniques in this world come from our Lock Dragon Courtyard. If you join, with your talent, you can choose any as you wish."
"And the City God Dojo is also under Lock Dragon Courtyard, its spiritual vital energy is especially abundant, which could allow you to cultivate rapidly." Continue your adventure with novelhall.Côm
Exceptional talent?
Me?
Who the hell are you cursing! My achievements today are entirely due to diligent study and training!
Chen Mu glared at the other party.
But he couldn’t help but realize in his heart that the Extinguishing Breath Stone had concealed his own vital energy, and the other party mistook the Five Ghosts Possession as the so-called Underworld God Transformation. That was why his attitude had changed dramatically, even inviting him, a Qi Cultivator, to join the Lock Dragon Courtyard.
"Lock Dragon Courtyard aims to capture Qi Cultivating Demon Cultivators, but I have friends cultivating immortality. If I join the Lock Dragon Courtyard..." Chen Mu pretended to hesitate and glanced at Sun Ke, as if looking at a beloved relative.
"That’s not a problem!" Yuan Dong waved his hand with ease, "In the homes of the various dukes and generals of Da Qian, which doesn’t have a few people cultivating immortality?"
"Once you become one of us, a simple report will mean that no one will bother you."
"If you get your friend to also practice a little of the Underworld God Transformation, then there will be absolutely no problem at all."
So there’s a loophole to exploit?
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.
They shout about capturing Qi Cultivating Demon Cultivators all day as if vowing to their death, yet there’s this way within.
As expected, in the outside world, one must talk about background and power. A Wild Cultivator like Sun Ke, without any foundation, ends up being the unlucky one.
He glanced at Sun Ke with pity.
"May I take a few days to consider it?" Chen Mu feigned difficulty.
"Of course, there’s no problem," Yuan Dong was indifferent to Chen Mu’s reluctance.
"Since we’ve just met, you definitely can’t trust me. You are free to inquire as you like, to see if our Lock Dragon Courtyard is not generous enough," he said with confidence.
"I’ll be staying at Qiluo Mountain City Divine Temple for the upcoming days. Once you’ve decided, you can come and have a talk with me."
"As for him..." Yuan Dong glanced at Sun Ke.
"Today I’ll pretend I didn’t see him, but before you join the Lock Dragon Courtyard, you better arrange for him to leave Luandu County first."
"After all, we also have our own missions to perform, and it’s not great to turn a blind eye knowingly."
"Thank you!" Chen Mu bowed solemnly.
"I look forward to our next meeting." Yuan Dong smiled, his figure flashed, turning into a shadow that shot straight toward the south of South Mountain.
Chen Mu activated his Truthful Listening Technique, watching the other person indeed leave straight away, and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Lock Dragon Courtyard, Underworld God Transformation, Green Satchel Chapter... Da Qian’s Martial Dao seems quite interesting. I really want to take a look.
Too bad my dream is to cultivate immortality, not to become a brute with the Underworld God Transformation.
"Keep the Extinguishing Breath Stone safe, use it after leaving Luandu County to avoid being discovered," Chen Mu instructed Sun Ke.
"Understood!" Sun Ke bowed respectfully.
If before he felt coerced, now he was truly willing.
It wasn’t just the life-saving grace from earlier, but what astonished him even more was that this Mr. Gongsun actually had a way to cut off the investigations of Lock Dragon Courtyard!
The behavior of that Lock Dragon Courtyard inspector just now was evident!
He clenched the gray cloth bag in his hand tighter.
If he used enough Extinguishing Breath Stones, he could safely hide within Da Qian, no longer having to flee like a stray dog being hunted everywhere.
What he thought was a hassle turned out to be a golden thigh, a solid gold one at that.
I, Sun Ke, am holding on to this golden thigh, and no one can change that, mark my words!
