Chapter 244: Jadegreen Lotus


    It is a misunderstanding. Bai Yue squeezed out a smile. Daoist, Im willing topensate for your losses, so I ask you to show mercy and spare my son.


    Indeed. Our Bai n is willing topensate for your losses.


    Daoist, could we sit down and talk this matter through? the Bai ns patriarch asked.


    Fang Chen chuckled. Youre such kind people, but the world of cultivation is a cruel ce where murder and genocide often happen


    Kill Bai Yue and his son!


    These two people arent worthy of being humans. They brought trouble to our Bai n over their own selfish motive!


    The crowd immediately changed their tune.


    With the Bai ns patriarch leading the pack, the Bai ns cultivators threw their meanssome even brought out their artifactsagainst Bai Yue and his son.


    Even to their dying breath, the father and son couldnt believe that they were abandoned just like that.


    The attacks continued for around five minutes.


    Only after confirming that the two of them were dead did the Bai ns patriarch stabilize his breathing and turned to Fang Chen, saying, Daoist, is our exnation satisfactory to you?


    We can start talking aboutpensation now.


    <em>Compensation?! Is Bai Yue and his sons lives not enough?</em>


    The crowd was unhappy, but they dared not say anything more.


    Daoist, may I know what you want forpensation? We can talk things through, the Bai ns patriarch said.


    That depends on your sincerity. I dont want ki stones; only artifacts and spirit materials. Fang Chen smiled.


    <em>He doesnt want ki stones?</em>


    The eyes of the crowd lit up. Ki stones were the purest form of treasure in this world, which was why it was used as a currency. There was still room for negotiation if he didnt want that.


    The Bai n discussed the matter among themselves, with great emphasis being ced on Fang Chens sincerity. In the end, the Bai ns patriarch offered all of Bai Yue and his sons artifacts, and he added one more artifact on top of that.


    All in all, there were three artifactsone had twelve daosoul imprints, and the other two had ten and seven daosoul imprints respectively.


    Other than that, the Bai n also took out some of the ores from their inventory that they were nning to sell.


    Daoist, this Moonsunk Ore are from the distant Moonsunk Country. We have 1500 kilograms of it in total, which can be refined into 5 kilograms of Moonsunk Gold. Each kilogram of Moonsunk Gold is worth 60 low-grade ki stones.


    The Bai ns patriarch sped his fist and asked, May I know if youre satisfied with yourpensation?


    <em>Moonsunk Ore?</em>


    The key material used to forge the Moonsunk Gold Truncheon was, of course, Moonsunk Gold. Fang Chen nodded in satisfaction. He stowed the three artifacts and the Moonsunk Ore away in his storage ring.


    Im satisfied with thepensation. Ill take my leave first.


    With that, Fang Chen began to take his leave.


    However, the Bai ns patriarch called out, Please wait a moment.


    The Bai ns cultivators looked at their patriarch and frowned. <em>This star of misfortune is finally leaving. Why are you stopping him?</em>


    Do you need me for something else? Fang Chen smiled.


    Daoist, if Im not mistaken, a malevolent cultivator once used yourpanion to nurture poison? The Bai ns patriarch looked at Liu Mu.


    Liu Mus eyes narrowed. He reflexively pulled back his neck, thinking that his stench had affected them.


    You have sharp eyes. Have you seen something like this before? Fang Chen nodded.


    Its amon means among malevolent cultivators who practice poison arts. Countless cultivators pass by our Bai ns port everyday, so its only normal for me to have seen this a couple of times before. The Bai ns patriarch nodded. Pardon my brazen guess, but are you hoping to remove the poison on his body?


    Fang Chen eyed the Bai ns patriarch before saying, Continue.


    The eyes of the Bai ns patriarch lit up. He continued with a lowered voice,, 100 kilometers away from here, theres a Liu n and a Huang n that specializes in the spirit herbs trade. Countless spirit herbs go through their ports each day.


    Their ns own herb fields, and I have heard rumors that they have nted a 100-year-old Jadegreen Lotus. Its about to bear fruit, and its said that its seed is exceptionally effective in purging poison.


    Realization dawned upon the Bai ns cultivators. They finally understood why their patriarch stopped this star of misfortune from leaving, and excitement seeped into their eyes.


    You are on bad terms with those two ns. You want to use my hand to teach them a lesson, Fang Chen bluntly pointed it out.


    The Bai ns patriarch admitted to it, I do have such an intention in mind, but its your choice whether you wish to head there or not. Im just rying the news to you in hopes that it might be of use to you.


    Fang Chen nodded. He walked out of the conference hall with Liu Mu before soaring into the air. His sword intent lingered for a few seconds before dissipating.


    Thats the sword morphing!


    He really is a sword cultivator


    The crowd was startled. They could tell the difference between sword flight and sword morphing, with thetter being the distinctive ability of a sword cultivator.


    Father what if the Liu n and Huang ne after us for this? Bai Qianqian asked with a frown.


    Those two ns are arrogant. They would have gone after our Bai n even if I didnt do that. Since thats the case, I might as well prepare a gift for them in advance. the Bai ns patriarch said with a chuckle. At least the artifacts and Moonsunk Gold we gave out wouldnt have been in vain.


    Our patriarch is wise!


    The Bai ns cultivators sped their fists and bowed.


    If not for their patriarchs decisiveness, trouble would have befallen their Bai n today.


    How should we deal with the Sea Dragon Sects cultivators if they visit us? Bai Qianqian asked with worried eyes.


    Tell them the truth. Our Bai n is also a victim here. The Bai ns patriarch patted her shoulder. That sword cultivator killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator despite his young age. The Sea Dragon Sect might choose to let this matter slip.


    But he killed the Sea Dragon Sects young master! Bai Qianqian was surprised to hear that.


    Would you have avenged me if he killed me? the Bai ns patriarch asked with a smile.


    Bai Qianqian was taken aback. She averted her gaze and bitterly replied, I dont think so.


    That does it. Cultivators always weigh the pros and cons before making a move. I believe the Sea Dragon Sect Master will make a wise decision. The Bai ns patriarch chuckled. Go and take over your Uncle Bai Yues affairs and sort out his ledgers.


    Yes, father. Bai Qianqian nodded before taking her leave.


    Thebined scale of the Liu n and the Huang ns port was several times bigger than that of the Bai n. They had countless vendors, selling sea beast inner cores, spirit materials, and all sorts of artifacts, talismans, and pills.


    There was someone leaving and entering the port at every moment.


    No wonder the Bai n wants to use my hand to suppress the Liu n and the Huang n. They are only 100 kilometers away from each other, but this port isrger and more bustling than theirs.


    Fang Chen and Liu Mu made their way through the port.


    The Huang n and the Liu n are opening their medicine field today. Many people are rushing there for the auction. Lets make haste. Who knows? We might just get a good deal.


    What good deal? Those two ns are as calctive as they can get! Dont expect to get anything for cheap.


    Lets take a look first. They have a good assortment of spirit herbs, including some which I have already been searching for years.


    Fine, Ill apany you.


    Little Liu, lets head over to take a look too. Ill get you a Jadegreen Lotus Seed to eat. Perhaps it might help purge the poison in your body, Fang Chen told Liu Mu.


    Expectation gleamed in Liu Mus eyes. Even in his dreams he wanted to be a normal person once more.
