Chapter 178: 177. It’s going to change the weather (4/4) Night Demon shouted, "Madam, give me a private room."
"Quick!"
A woman with a strong scent of powder hurriedly waved at the "duck" beside her, quickly striding like a meteor and leading Night Demon to a room on the third floor.
After entering the room, Night Demon coldly looked at the madam and said, "Do not let anyone disturb me, or I’ll kill whoever I see!"
Startled by the cold glance, the madam quickly replied, "No one will disturb you."
With those words, the madam promptly retreated.
Night Demon immediately took out some medicine from the Hidden Ring Sect and was about to pour it onto Ye San’s back, "Weren’t you just supposed to scout the Immortal Sect’s situation?"
However, the act of pouring the medicine was stopped by Ye San himself.
"Master, don’t waste your efforts. My meridians are destroyed, my vitality is gone, and I managed to come to see you by forcibly prolonging my life. Please listen to me."
Grasping Night Demon’s hand, Ye San continued, "Originally, we were disguised to gather intelligence, but who knew we’d run into Murong Chi, the Patriarch of the Murong Family? That old man exposed our power, and the Immortal Sect Leader acted immediately, even sending out a Profound Realm to block our retreat..."
After the recount, Night Demon’s expression of happiness vanished, replaced by anger.
"Murong scoundrel!"
Night Demon immediately coldly called out Murong Chi’s nickname.
Ye San continued to speak, "The Immortal Sect Leader had a staff in hand, and our Yellow Springs Blood-Drinking Saber broke upon touching it. Moreover, wielding it, the Immortal Sect Leader can kill us with just one swing. Night Demon, Master, when you go, you must seize it."
Night Demon was secretly shocked, murmuring, "The Yellow Springs Blood-Drinking Saber breaks upon contact; I didn’t expect the Immortal Sect to possess such a treasure? Moreover, it’s a Technique that can ignite flames without entering the Profound Realm, and now it’s a staff that can kill Profound cultivators. Interesting, Ye San, rest in peace, your sacrifice is valuable."
Saying this, Night Demon stood up and looked out the window.
As if searching for something.
At that moment, Ye San’s eyes closed forever.
Night Demon did not immediately turn around, but whispered to himself: The bounty stirred East Lake, attracting more than just Bi Luo Yellow Springs. Once Cangwu City is in chaos, sneaking away with the staff Ye San mentioned amidst the tumult should be a secure plan.
...
On Yunlan Mountain.
Wen Ping opened six Storage Rings, feeling somewhat disappointed.
In the six rings, there were only some change of clothes and weapons, nothing else.
If it were one person like this, Wen Ping found it normal, but seeing all six like this, Wen Ping suspected whether these people had not put their wealth into the Storage Rings at all.
However, fortunately, although nothing particularly precious was found, Wen Ping still found ten White Crystals—milky white crystal stones the size of a thumb.
Adding the ten thousand Gold Coin entry fee received from Yu Mo, plus over ten thousand Gold Coins found in Han Wen’s Storage Ring, and now these ten White Crystals, the total accumulated has exceeded 200,000 Gold Coins.
The 300,000 Gold Coin needed to upgrade Tingyu Pavilion is not far off.
Just as Wen Ping was planning to store the White Crystals into the Storage Ring, the system’s voice came.
"Task released!"
It was a very pleasing voice.
[Side Task—Recruitment of Disciples]
[As a Super Sect, elite disciples are indispensable; they are the pillars of the Sect’s future.]
[Recruitment: Accumulate five Three-star Talent disciples in the Sect]
[Reward: One random building upgrade]
"Five Three-star Talent disciples?"
Wen Ping immediately counted in his mind; currently, the Three-star Talent disciples are: Miao Yin, Qin Mo, Zhao Qing, Zhao Yi, and Yang Xi.
"System, aren’t there already five?"
"Yang Xi is a Four-star genius, not classified under elite disciples."
"I..."
Wen Ping was speechless.
However, considering the reward was a random building upgrade, Wen Ping wasn’t too annoyed with the system.
By evening, everyone gathered to find Wen Ping.
Qin Mo chatted as he walked, "Everyone hurry and congratulate me; I have comprehended the Flame Skill in the Ten Layers Tower today!"
"So fast."
Yang Lele and others listened in shock.
Qin Mo then smiled and said, "So, tonight everyone watch Immortal Slayer, I’ll cover all the expenses!"
After expressing envy, jealousy, and resentment, Yang Lele was the first to say, "Then I’ll go to the immersive zone!"
Beside him, Zhao Qing couldn’t help but tease, "Wow, and you call yourself senior brother? You’re really not shy about taking advantage of junior brother."
"Mind your own business!"
Yang Lele snorted coldly and ran off.
