Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times-Chapter 662 - 231: "Big Dog Tycoon!"_3
"Hey, even if it’s a pet, it depends on whose pet it is. After all, it’s a senior’s pet, so it being a bit rich is understandable."
"Then..."
The Taoist Sect Master instantly became somewhat angry upon hearing this, his voice subconsciously raising, but he quickly realized and turned his head to glance at the Flying Boat parked not far away, lowering his voice with some reluctance, "Since the senior is already so wealthy, why would he still need to... pay a visit?"
"Hey, otherwise how do you think the senior got so rich."
"But the senior has so many nice things. Take for instance that Upper Grade Spirit Treasure Level kasaya, why not sell it? That could get a good amount of Spirit Stones!"
"Sell it to who?"
"Sell it to Buddhist Disciples, of course. It’s a Buddhist treasure!"
"..." The Heavenly Axe Sect Master looked at his old friend with a complicated expression and spoke somberly, "The Buddhist Sect has been wiped out. The remaining high-level members who escaped are now being hunted. Who else from the Buddhist Sect would buy that thing?"
"Then... you could still sell other heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are not needed, right?"
"Do you mean the Chao Tian Sect gives you items and you give them Spirit Stones?"
"Yes!" The Taoist Sect Master nodded earnestly, "After all, not to mention anything else, just Bai Family and the Female Sword Sect should have obtained quite a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and could completely liquidate them this way."
"Yeah."
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master pointed at the fruit basket on the ground beside him, "Isn’t this the very model you’re talking about? There’s the stuff I gave you, now it’s your turn to give the Spirit Stones."
"No!!!"
The Taoist Sect Master’s voice cracked with near-hysteria as he growled quietly, "Do you even understand what I’m saying? I mean, the Chao Tian Sect could totally use legal methods to make a fortune in Spirit Stones without resorting to this."
"This isn’t legal?"
"It’s not that it’s illegal, it just lacks courtesy."
"I’ve already given you a fruit basket, how is that lacking courtesy? If I was truly discourteous, your Taoist Sect would be a river of blood by now."
"But the Chao Tian Sect could have given us some valuable heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so we wouldn’t be at a loss!"
"This isn’t valuable?"
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master casually took out a Spirit Fruit from the fruit basket on the ground, took a big bite, "Juicy, sweet, this is unique to the Chao Tian Sect’s back mountain in the entire world."
"Besides, if you’re not at a loss, it means the Chao Tian Sect is at a loss."
"And if the Chao Tian Sect incurs a loss, it means someone is going to die."
"I’m certainly not going to die, and the senior certainly isn’t either. Guess who will die?"
"..."
The Taoist Sect Master stood in disbelief, then mumbled while looking at the Heavenly Axe Sect Master, "What kind of messy thinking is this? Back in the day, you were the man who built on the basis of the ’Sky Splitting Axe’ to create your Fourth Axe, breaking through directly to a Void Refining Peak Spell, a glorious tale in Xuantian State. How did it turn into this now?"
"Now I have the Fifth Axe, much stronger than the Fourth Axe."
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master laughed and stuffed the Spirit Fruit he had bitten into the mouth of his old friend, saying meaningfully, "That’s why I, among so many who besieged Chen Qiu, was the only one who survived, and my force remained unscathed."
"I’ve come to understand."
"Knowing how to go with the flow means to never stand in front of the main current. When the main current brings down its pounding waves, no matter if you’re at the Void Refining Peak or a Unification expert, you’re going to be smashed under those waves."
"I stick with you because I know ever since you were young, you tend to overthink things and get yourself trapped, and then you act impulsively to trigger a Formation."
"I really don’t want to see you come to such an end, it’s just Spirit Stones. If you lose them, you can earn them back, I know these things aren’t a big deal to your Taoist Sect."
"Trust me."
"I won’t harm you."
"If I were you, I would go and try to talk to the Sect Grand Elder of the Chao Tian Sect right now. He’s easier to talk to. According to my observations these past few days, he’s also a trusted confidant of Chen Qiu, holds a not insignificant position within this interest group, and is also highly regarded by the Dragon Clan, who respects him as the Chao Tian Sect Grand Elder."
"Though his Cultivation is a bit low, only at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation."
"But he wields enough power. You, at the sixth layer of Void Refining, should lower your status a bit, say some good words, or secretly offer some benefits. Later on, if Elder Fat Long says a good word for you, you will have earned a lot."
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master spoke in a hushed tone, "And about the Second Elder of Chao Tian Sect, Scholar Elder, who’s in charge of the Punishment Hall, seems to have less authority."
"Including the Third Elder, whose name I still don’t know. If you’re going to make contact with these two people, just do it normally and don’t say too much, lest it leads to trouble."
"You don’t need them to help you with anything; you just need to make sure they don’t feel neglected by you, which would cause them to hold a grudge against you and speak ill of you in front of the senior."
"And another person..."
"The Outer Sect Elder of Chao Tian Sect, Elder Qu Gui, this man is quite slippery. I’ve gathered that he’s one of the old guard of Chao Tian Sect, someone who can speak up in front of the senior, holds an Eight Grade Divine Domain, and is not weak either."
"This person is also worth communicating with more."
"..."
The Taoist Sect Master looked at his old friend with a complex expression, "How many days has it been, and you’ve observed this meticulously?"
"Hey."
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master couldn’t help but grin, "I’m the one who created the Fourth Axe, right? Did you think that creating a spell isn’t a matter of using your brain? Since I’m preparing to blend into this interest group, obviously I have to observe the power structure and factional strife of this group, to avoid accidentally joining the wrong side, right?"
