Chapter 321: Tricks (1)

The deacons of the Merit Hall actually didn’t have high cultivation levels.

Because they had to deal with various exchange matters and entertain disciples, there were many daily matters. Therefore, cultivators with profound cultivation levels weren’t interested in this job.

Those who could come here to manage things were usually cultivators who no longer had high hopes of advancing in the path of cultivation.

The middle-aged cultivator was an example.

Facing ordinary inner sect disciples, he was high and mighty. There was no need for him to show any respect to those people.

However, not only was Xia Mengran a cultivator whose cultivation level far exceeded his, but she also had a bright future. With her connection with Master Yu, she was far from someone a mere deacon could afford to offend. Therefore, the middle-aged man didn’t dare to be negligent at all.

Xia Mengran waved her hand impatiently and said, “Stop being so polite. This is my master’s new disciple. I brought him here to choose a cultivation Cave Abode. Hurry up and take out the map!”

The middle-aged man was clearly very familiar with Xia Mengran’s personality. He didn’t mind her attitude and hurriedly called for someone to bring the map over.

Not long after, a teenager on duty brought the map over.

Without waiting for the teenager to hand over the map, Xia Mengran snatched it over and unfolded it.

A moment later, she frowned and said unhappily, “What’s going on? Why are there only four Essence Prefecture Cave Abodes, and they’re the ones with the worst geographical locations?”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and cupped his hands. “Hall Master Xia, the Essence Prefecture-level Cave Abodes has always been in short supply. No matter how bad the geographical location is, many people are fighting for it. Four is already a lot.”

Xia Mengran didn’t buy it at all and sneered.

“You can use these words to fool ordinary disciples, but you’re still far from fooling me!

“Chu Jihe, that’s all I have to say. Don’t play any tricks on me. Hurry up and take out all the really good Cave Abodes. Otherwise, don’t blame me for tearing down your pavilion!”

Chu Jihe’s face was almost scrunched up as he looked at Lin Shen for help.

Lin Shen looked down and pretended not to see anything.

Seeing that he really couldn’t fool her, Chu Jihe could only grit his teeth and take out a roll of parchment from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Mengran.

Xia Mengran took a look at it, and her expression finally eased a little. She then handed the parchment to Lin Shen.

“Junior Brother, take a look. Although Goldstream Isle is located in a remote area, it’s a wonderful place to cultivate. The water and metal spiritual essence on the island are abundant, and it’s suitable for cultivating the two elements. It’s almost as good as the cave abodes where the elders cultivate.”

At this point, Xia Mengran glanced sideways at Chu Jihe and snorted.

“At least you know what’s good for you and don’t use that trash to fool us!”

Chu Jihe smiled bitterly.

Even if an Essence Prefecture-level Cave Abode had a bad location and a little less spiritual opportunity, it shouldn’t be called trash, right?

If it was an ordinary cultivator master, they would wake up laughing in their dreams if they could obtain such a Cave Abode.

Indeed, Goldstream Isle was a good Blessed Land for cultivation.

Among all the Essence Prefecture-level Cave Abodes, Goldstream Isle’s spiritual opportunity was definitely in the top ten. Moreover, the island was filled with metal and water spiritual essence. It was a Blessed Land for cultivators who cultivated metal and water element techniques.

However, it was also because of this that many people had their eyes on Goldstream Isle.

In fact, this Cave Abode had already been reserved. If Chu Jihe didn’t know that Xia Mengran would keep her word and was afraid that she would really tear down the pavilion, he wouldn’t have taken out Goldstream Isle.

After some hesitation, Chu Jihe couldn’t help but say,

“Hall Master Xia, Shan Wenqi of the Shan Family already booked Goldstream Isle three days ago. If you take Goldstream Isle away, 1 won’t be able to answer to Fellow Daoist Shan!”

“Shan Wenqi?” Xia Mengran frowned slightly and quickly recalled. “Didn’t he advance to a cultivator master two years ago? According to the time, he should have already chosen a Cave Abode to cultivate. Why did he want Goldstream Isle?”

“Well…” Chu Jihe’s eyes flickered.

Xia Mengran had seen many similar things in the Martial Enforcement Hall. Seeing this, how could she not understand? A cold smile appeared on her lips.

“The sect stipulates that every true disciple can only have one Cave Abode. Moreover, once it’s chosen, it’s forbidden to change again without the sect’s permission. Chu Jihe, you dare to collude with Shan Wenqi to a secret scheme. Do you what to have a taste of the punishment in my hall?”

Chu Jihe immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, “Hall A/Iaster Xia, 1 had no choice. I can’t afford to offend the Shan Family!”

After the Yan family was exterminated, the Shan family rose to prominence and replaced the Yan family to become one of the famous forces. Now, they were in the limelight. How could a small deacon like him dare to provoke them?

Xia Mengran actually knew this. Chu Jihe didn’t dare to provoke the Shan family, so she wasn’t afraid.

“In short, Goldstream Isle will be given to my junior brother. If Shan Wenqi is dissatisfied, tell him to come to me. 1’11 convince him personally!”

Was she trying to convince him with her fists?

Chu Jihe cursed inwardly.

“Everyone in the Nine Suns Sect knows that you’re not to be trifled with! Shan Wenqi has to be an idiot to come to you. If he does that, not only won’t he have Goldstream Isle, but he’ll also be beaten up for nothing!”

Everyone knew that Xia Mengran was a sword cultivator and had cultivated one of the eight divine powers of the Nine Suns Sect, the Divine Seal Spirit. Her combat strength was extraordinary, and she was known to be invincible below the Mystic Light Stage.

Shan Wenqi was indeed strong, but against a cultivator master like Xia Mengran, there was no doubt that he could only be beaten up!

Still…

Chu Jihe glanced at Lin Shen.

“Shan Wenqi won’t dare to find trouble with Hall Master Xia, but this Junior

Brother is a different story..”
