Chapter 265: Finding a Helper
In the Ye ns main hall
Father, why are we fawning on the sword cultivator? He killed the Sea Dragon Sectste Foundation Establishment cultivator! If the Sea Dragon Sect pursues this matter a middle-aged man asked.
The Ye ns patriarch looked at the middle-aged man, followed by the other doubtful nsmen, before letting out a sigh. He killed ate Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single sh. Do you think whoevers behind him would fear a mere Golden Core cultivator?
<em>A mere Golden Core cultivator</em>
The Ye nsmen thought that their patriarch was arrogant to say such words, but they had to admit that he made sense. The sword cultivator had to have a powerful background to possess such formidable means.
If the Sea Dragon Sects Golden Core cultivator learned that histe Foundation Establishment cultivator had been killed in a single sh, he would probably hesitate to avenge him.
That sword cultivator intends to buy a huge amount of spirit materials. Reach out to the Xu n and the Zhou n and tell them to contact their suppliers. We need to secure the items as soon as possible, the Ye ns patriarch ordered.
Yes, patriarch. The middle-aged man quickly left.
The following day, the Ye ns patriarch excitedly knocked on Fang Chens door and said, Elder, we have gotten into contact with the suppliers and secured thirteen spirit materials, be it Moonsunk Gold, Crimsonfire Metal, Adamantium Jade I made a rough calction, and those should add up to 9000 low-grade ki stones. Its just that
The Ye ns patriarch suddenly revealed a conflicted look.
Speak, Fang Chen said.
We arent able to raise enough funds to pay the suppliers the Ye ns patriarch replied with a bitter smile.
Thats not a problem. Ill hand you 4000 low-grade ki stones first. Use it. Ill pay the other half when the spirit materials are delivered to me, Fang Chan said as he took out 4000 low-grade ki stones.
Fang Chen took out 4000 low-grade ki stones and handed it to the Ye ns patriarch. How long will it take for the goods to be delivered?
The Ye ns thumped his chest and replied, The spirit ores will arrive at Spirit Heaven City within two days!
One day. Fang Chen smiled. Ill only give you one day.
One day?! The Ye ns patriarch was startled. Then, he clenched his jaws and nodded. Rest assured, elder. Ill personally escort the goods with the Xu ns and the Zhou ns patriarchs. The spirit ores will arrive within a day.
Good. Fang Chen nodded.
The Ye ns patriarch humbly took his leave.
Now that he was alone in the room, Fang Chen took off his mask. He looked at his aged face in the mirror and sighed in distress. He no longer looked as spirited and dashing as he was before.
Im looking like this even though I havent reached 24 yet. My depleted lifespan has to be replenished via spirit fruits or pills; just cultivating wont help, Fang Chen murmured.
Sword cultivators tended to only have a lifespan of around a third of their peers, and he might have expended around 30 to 50 years of his lifespan from forcefully executing the Eight Barrens Immortal Subjugation Peerless Swordsmanship.
However, he had no regrets.
Had he not done that, he wouldnt have been able to kill the Sea Dragon Sectste Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone intimidate the Sea Dragon Sect.
E-elder! a voice echoed outside.
Fang Chen put on his mask and walked out. Ye Wenxiu and Abbess Clearlotus were standing at the entrance of his courtyard.
Elder, this abbess ims to be acquainted with you. I thought that might be one of your sect members, so I brought her in Ye Wenxiu mustered his courage and reported.
That day, at the City Lord Manor, he heard that Fang Chen had a nun who appeared to be from the Moon Monastery with him. It was on this basis that he dared to bring Abbess Clearlotus in.
Thank you. Fang Chen nodded. He gestured to Abbess Clearlotus and said, Come in.
Abbess Clearlotus was afraid of exposing Fang Chens identity, so she refrained from greeting thetter. She also thanked Ye Wenxiu before entering the courtyard.
Ye Wenxiu was disappointed to see that Fang Chen didnt react much. Watching as the two of them walked into the room, he gathered his courage and said, Elder, is it possible for me to walk on the road of a sword cultivator?
You are? Fang Chen halted his footsteps and turned to Ye Wenxiu.
I am Ye Wenxiu. The Ye ns patriarch is my grandfather.
He had seen what Fang Chen was capable of, and he hoped to reach such a level one day too. His desire for power was more intense than ever after he nearly lost the woman he loved to the Flooding Dragon Ind Master.
If not for that, he wouldnt have dared to be this bold.
The road of a sword cultivator is tough. Fang Chen shook his head before bringing Abbess Clearlotus into the room.
Ye Wenxiu lowered his head in disappointment.
A few other Ye nsmen had been eyeing him from the shadows. They waited for Fang Chen to close his room door before rushing over.
Wenxiu, you should stop dreaming. It isnt that easy to obtain a sword cultivators legacy.
You should avoiding here lest you offend that elder.
The Ye nsmen advised.
Ye Wenxiu clenched his fists and hissed, How would I know if I dont give it a try?
With that, he turned around and left.
One of the Ye nsmen shook his head and said, There hasnt been a real sword cultivator from our Infernoze for many years now. Wenxiu is daydreaming.
Given that elders means, he could simply look for disciples in grade-5 or grade-4 states. The spirit ki is much richer there, so the cultivators there are more talented than us, another Ye nsman said.
In the room, Abbess Clearlotus noticed that Fang Chen was still wearing the mask, but she didnt think much about it. Young master, I think I saw your Great Xias ex-emperor yesterday.
You saw him too? Fang Chen was surprised, but he soon nodded with a smile. You have good eyes. That is Xia Xuanji. I didnt expect him to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He has met you before, so you should remain in the Ye n for the time being. Otherwise, he might figure out my identity.
Young master, I fear your Great Xias ex-emperor really has ties with the Blood Spirit Cult. There are many vengeful ghosts following him, Abbess Clearlotus whispered.
How many? Fang Chen lifted his eyebrows.
Abbess Clearlotus thought about it before replying, I-Im not sure, but there has to be at least hundreds of them.
Fang Chen nodded. He is a Blood Spirit Cultist. Those should be the ones he killed with his hands, but there are many more whom he has indirectly harmed. Do you have amunication talisman?
<em>Communication talisman?</em>Abbess Clearlotus nodded. My master gave me two before we left.
Send a message to your master. I need a favor. Fang Chen walked up to Abbess Clearlotus and whispered to her.
Abbess Clearlotus hurriedly nodded. She took out amunication talisman and ignited it.
In the Moon Monastery, one of themunication talismans in Abbess Moonchasers possession burned to ashes.
The Great Xias ex-emperor, the Blood Spirit Cult
A contemtive gleam shed across her eyes.
