Chapter 141: Chapter 99: Purchasing Black Crow Flame, Jiang Yan’s Horror_1
Jiang Xiaoyue said somewhat angrily, “Uncle Jiang, Yao and I just happened to meet by chance, by chance, by chance. I’ve said it many times, why don’t you believe it?”
However, it seemed that Jiang Yan was not willing to believe her explanation.
With no other option, Jiang Xiaoyue could only let the matter drop.
…
Noon.
When the temperature outside began to rise rapidly.
Jiang Xiaoyue, Luo Yao.
The two of them were together again, chatting and laughing.
They played all over the inner city of Qingshi Town.
Meanwhile, within the courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resided on the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
After Luo Changfeng had made a breakthrough in the Blood Refinement Realm,
he left his small courtyard, intending to take a walk and change his mood.
Prolonged hard work was not good for the heart realm of a cultivator.
“Hmm?”
“What’s that little guy doing?”
As he walked, just when Luo Changfeng was about to leave the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
he suddenly saw a child who looked to be about five or six years old,
holding a wooden sword with a look of determination on his face.
He swung the sword in front of the void, over and over and over again.
Watching the child before him, Luo Changfeng’s interest gradually grew.
So, he stood there in silence,
quietly watching the little fellow.
To see just how long he could persevere.
…
Half an hour…
An hour…
Two hours…
Three hours…
Until the little guy had wielded the wooden sword continuously for a full three hours,
he finally collapsed on the ground, seemingly exhausted.
The wooden sword had also fallen to the ground by then.
The little guy’s face was somewhat pale, as he gasped for breath.
His entire body was soaked with sweat.
Seeing this, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but nod in approval.
He acknowledged the little guy’s persistence and effort.
…
After a while,
Luo Changfeng left that open space
and returned to his courtyard.
Just the day before, after his cultivation had broken through,
Luo Changfeng had found Fu Qiu, a cultivator left behind in the Luo Family Ancestral Land specifically for relaying messages,
asking him to call for Fu Qiu, saying that he had something to discuss in detail.
By now, Fu Qiu should be arriving soon, right?
…
Back in the courtyard,
as Luo Changfeng was refining a new batch of Epiphyllum Elixirs and silently waiting,
three hours passed before Fu Qiu finally arrived at the courtyard.
“Brother Luo, may I ask why you’ve summoned me? What would you like to discuss?” asked Fu Qiu, who had just taken his seat as the current Sect Master of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect,
pouring himself a full cup of tea right away.
After the cool tea slid down his throat and into his abdomen,
Fu Qiu inquired softly at the sight of Luo Changfeng.
“Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones can buy a portion of Yellow Grade lower-quality Black Crow Flame, correct?” Luo Changfeng asked Fu Qiu in a soft voice.
“That’s correct, Brother Luo, but why are you suddenly asking about this?” replied Fu Qiu and, as he spoke, he seemed to realize something, looking at Luo Changfeng in surprise, “Brother Luo, don’t tell me you’re planning to purchase a portion of Yellow Grade lower-quality Beast Fire, Black Crow Flame?”
“What’s wrong with that?” replied Luo Changfeng as he sipped the tea in his hand and glanced at Fu Qiu across from him.
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with it; I’m just a bit surprised,” said Fu Qiu with a somewhat embarrassed smile before seriously adding, “The Yellow Grade lower-quality Black Crow Flame is a type of Beast Fire unique to our Wan Dan Sect, and it is one of the benefits we offer to our alchemists. However, it will probably take me about ten days to half a month to acquire it for you…”
Luo Changfeng frowned slightly, sounding puzzled, “Ten days to half a month?”
Fu Qiu, noticing the doubt on Luo Changfeng’s face,
responded, “Because the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect strictly controls the Yellow Grade lower-quality Beast Fire, Black Crow Flame, it is available only from the Main Sect’s inventory and not in the sub-sects’ stock. So if you’re looking to purchase, we’ll have to make a trip to the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Changfeng nodded in silence.
That made some sense.
After all, it was quite normal for the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect to have strict control over a Yellow Grade lower-quality Beast Fire like the Black Crow Flame that was unique to them.
Moreover, if the Main Sect didn’t highlight its unique features, how could it assert its prestigious status?
How would it control the sub-sect powers scattered across the Xuanyuan Continent?
…
After chatting with Fu Qiu for a while,
and discussing the future development of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
Fu Qiu left the Luo Family Ancestral Land with Luo Changfeng’s ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Of course, Luo Changfeng was not worried that Fu Qiu would run off with his ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
The Wan Dan Sect was one of the supreme sects of the Xuanyuan Continent.
It was not easy to join the Wan Dan Sect,
nor was it simple to build tenure within the sect.
Even as the current Sect Master of a sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect,
his status was quite esteemed.
Therefore, unless Fu Qiu had a lapse in judgment, he was unlikely to run off with the ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Mainly, it wouldn’t be worth it to abandon the position of current Sect Master of a sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect for ten thousand low-grade spirit stones and just run off!
…
The next day.
At dawn, when the sky was still a dim grey.
