319: Want to Give Up?
Cloud Sword Peak Master coldly snorted, “Who’s stopping you from finding backers?”
“If you have the ability, find a master like Young Master Jiang to support you!”
“All of you, get back to your caves and reflect on yourselves!”
Having said that.
He turned his head and smiled at Qin Caihe, “Come to my secret room later, I will guide your cultivation properly.”
Qin Caihe was astonished by the favor.
This treatment was only enjoyed by her two senior sisters, she, with her mediocre qualifications, could only envy it before.
“Thank you, Master!” Qin Caihe said joyfully.
But she did not forget the purpose of this visit, and said, “Master, Junior Brother Jiang came here this time because…”
She wanted to ride on this momentum and speak out.
Perhaps the master would be embarrassed to refuse.
But Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows and promptly interrupted her, interjecting:
“Disciple actually came specifically to visit the Cloud Sword Peak Master.”
As he spoke, he took out a black wooden box from his sleeve, “A small token of respect.”
The Cloud Sword Peak Master was surprised and laughed as he accepted it, “There’s even a meeting gift,”
“Young Master Jiang, no need for the pretense, you must have something to ask of me by coming to my Peak.”
“Tell me what’s on your mind first, given the great help you’ve provided my disciple, I will assist you if I can.”
Anyone who could become an elder wasn’t a simpleton.
Seeing him accept the gift, Jiang Fan felt it was the right time to speak.
He cupped his hands and said, “I want to meet your sect’s Supreme Elder Zhou Qidan.”
“Could you please convey my request?”
The Cloud Sword Peak Master frowned, briefly pondered, and returned the wooden box, saying:
“I can’t help with this.”
“Supreme Elder Zhou is currently in closed-door training and cannot be disturbed by anyone.”
As an ordinary elder, she dared not anger the Supreme Elder.
Jiang Fan said, “Peak Master, why don’t you take a look at what’s inside the box first.”
The Cloud Sword Peak Master chuckled.
What good things hadn’t she seen?
Could a mere disciple’s gift stir her so much that she would risk angering a Supreme Elder?
“No need.” She tossed the wooden box back into Jiang Fan’s arms.
With a look of regret, Jiang Fan opened it.
Revealing a fist-sized round bead, surrounded by a gentle breeze.
It was the Black Hawk’s demon core.
Demon cores from Beast Kings had always been extremely rare in the market.
It was only recently, with the Beast Tide, that one occasionally appeared, immediately becoming a sought-after item.
Especially, the Black Hawk, a fierce predator of the skies, was incredibly difficult to hunt.
Making it even rarer.
Thus, as soon as it was opened, the Cloud Sword Peak Master was taken aback, exclaiming, “A Beast King’s demon core?
And a wind attribute one at that!”
Such demon cores were top materials for making movement technique talismans and magic artifacts.
Priceless.
Once put up for sale, it would instantly be bought at a high price.
Rough estimates would place its worth at several ten thousand crystal stones at least.
Such a valuable gift, she had even returned it.
“Young Master Jiang’s ventures have been very fruitful, to have obtained such a demon core, truly fortunate.”
The Cloud Sword Peak Master said enviously, yet her eyes couldn’t move away from the demon core.
The more she looked, the more regretful she felt.
Why hadn’t she checked before deciding?
