Chapter 410 – Elder
Purple Spirit Fairy saw Han Li a look of disbelief also did not explain what, on the contrary, glanced at Qu Soul, said with a sweet smile, “This Qu senior is the senior’s out-of-body incarnation it!”
This woman’s words, Han Li’s figure stagnated, the eyes could not help but cold light flashed, staring straight at this woman for a while before asking in a cold voice: “Purple Spirit girl how do you know?”
”Hee hee! Senior need not be surprised. This split body sacrifice art this door also has a kind of law door, just consume too much, sacrifice success rate is too low, so the door of the talents of rare people to cultivate. But senior’s split body is very peculiar ah! Generally, the split must have a much lower cultivation level than the person who cultivates it, but senior Han’s split actually entered the early stage of JieDan with senior as well, which is really rare!” Fairy Violet Spirit laughed lightly, her bright eyes flowing.
”Since Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit has seen it, Mister Han has nothing to hide. Rather, why aren’t the other two Fellow Daoist here?” Han Li admitted with a softer expression, then glanced around to ask a rhetorical question. To him, it was only a matter of time before the identity of Qu Soul’s doppelganger was recognized, and there was nothing to be surprised about.
”Senior please take a seat first! The two senior sisters have now gone to the workshop market to buy some things, and are incidentally going to buy a cave residence in Tianxing City in preparation for a long stay.” The young girl elegantly greeted Han Li as he sat down and softly explained.
”What, the three Fellow Daoists don’t intend to return to the Myriad Sound Sect?” Han Li frowned as he sat down and asked with a bit of confusion.
”Going back to the Myriad Sound Sect? How could our sisters dare! Since we’ve made a great feud with the people of Extreme Yin Island, coupled with the fact that the great two elders of the sect have betrayed the past, if we go back, we won’t either fall into the hands of those devils again, or we’ll be swallowed up by other small and medium-sized forces that take advantage of the situation. We have decided to temporarily relocate the Myriad Sound Sect within the Heavenly Star City, and anyway, our sect still has some savings over the years.” Fairy Violet Spirit sighed and said with a bitter smile.
”Oh!” Han Li nodded silently and said nothing. He wasn’t someone on the other side, so naturally, he wouldn’t act overly enthusiastic.
Fairy Violet Spirit didn’t care about Han Li’s reaction, but instead got up and poured Han Li a cup of fragrant tea. Only then did she haughtily add, “When our sisters escaped those refining corpses’ interception, we happened to see from afar that senior had also subdued the refining corpses, so we knew that senior was similarly unharmed. Later, I also heard Fan said that senior was for the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to help. My youngest daughter had Senior Sister Fan send out a transmission note, inviting senior to come here to catch up.”
Fairy Violet Spirit gave a slight account of what happened.
”In the transmission note, it says that Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit still has the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo in her hands, is this true? Wasn’t this item robbed by the people of Extreme Yin Island?” Han Li wasn’t interested in beating around the bush any further, so he directly asked the question he was most concerned about.
Upon hearing Han Li ask so openly, a hint of smiling color flashed across Fairy Violet Spirit’s large eyes, so she replied in a mellow, pleasant voice, “Senior is really quick to speak, so Violet Spirit won’t be selling out either. In the beginning, what our Myriad Sound Sect obtained from the hands of that small sect’s heir was not a section of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, but two. But in order to be able to sell it for more, my mother split this bamboo into two, only taking away the upper half, and the section containing the roots stayed with me. If senior wants it, senior can give this to senior Han.”
Han Li was overjoyed in his heart, but his face didn’t show any excitement, instead, he looked at this woman with great meaning before asking in a deep voice, “Give? Why does Miss Zi Ling need to say such useless words. Since you use this object to ask me to come here, in the end what are the conditions to say it, in the next will consider one or two!”
Fairy Violet Spirit was slightly stunned at this, her smile gradually tightened, and after pondering for a while, she said seriously, “In fact, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo is a useless object to the Myriad Sound Sect nowadays, and based on senior’s kindness last time, it is only right that it be gifted to senior. However, this sect is now undergoing a sudden and drastic change, with the strength of seniors and others simply cannot support such a large sect as the Myriad Sound Sect, therefore, seniors would like to use this bamboo plus the price of 300 spirit stones per year to hire seniors as the sect’s guest elders, I hope that seniors will not excuse themselves!”
”Guest Elder?” Han Li’s face changed slightly. He never expected that the other party would make such a request.
”In addition to the conditions stated above, if senior needs a superior dual-cultivation cauldron for practicing, this sect can also pick out an outstanding female disciple and gift her to senior as a concubine.” Fairy Violet Spirit added another sentence with great generosity.
This condition did not cause Han Li to show any unusual expressions on his face. With the aid of various spirit pills, he simply didn’t see the point of relying on dual cultivation to enhance his spiritual energy.
However, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was a different story, and it was likely that after this village, there would be no more stores.
So after thinking about it, Han Li still said with discretion, “This condition won’t work! Mister Han has long been accustomed to the solitary, simply can not be subject to the constraints of the sect, purple spirit friends or another condition. How about, I’m willing to offer thirty percent more spirit stones than the market price to buy this item?”
”Senior is really joking, where is the market price to speak of for a top-ranked material such as the Three Great Divine Woods. In the hands of a cultivator who can’t use it, it’s worthless, but in the eyes of a cultivator who cultivates wood-attribute techniques, it’s more than likely priceless again.” Fairy Violet Spirit was not surprised by Han Li’s rebuff, and instead, with a smile on her face, she rejected Han Li’s offer to buy it with spirit stones.
Han Li tightened his brows, it looked as if this woman knew that she wanted this item very much and would not let go of it easily.
This feeling of being held hostage to his vitals made him extremely uncomfortable. However, he would never join the Myriad Sound Sect to be driven by the other party just for a section of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.
Just as Han Li was secretly wondering if he should give up the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo and look for other materials to refine a magic treasure, the young girl on the opposite side of the room made another compromise suggestion.
”Since senior doesn’t wish to be constrained, then become a nominal elder of this sect! You can enjoy the treatment of an elder, and you don’t have to actually take orders from the Sect Master of this Sect. At the very least, this sect can utilize senior’s name as a JieDan cultivator for self-protection. I don’t know if this is what senior thinks?”
”Nominal elder?” Hearing these unadulterated words from Fairy Violet Spirit, Han Li revealed a stunned expression.
”If the Myriad Sound Sect encounters a great enemy, I wouldn’t have to make a move?” He asked back with a bit of doubt, a look of disbelief on his face.
”If this Sect really encounters any trouble or really needs senior’s help, senior can agree or not at his own discretion, and we sisters will thank you separately afterwards!” This woman seemed to have considered this matter earlier and said without hesitation.
”Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit! If I’m not mistaken, a few of you only want me, the banner of a JieDan cultivator, to bolster the reputation of the Myriad Sound Sect, so that it won’t let the Myriad Sound Sect be taken advantage of by some ill-intentioned forces that come to look for trouble at its weakest moment. And while I’m at it when you guys let the wind out, as long as I explicitly don’t deny it to the outside world, that’s all that matters.” Han Li lowered his head and thought for a while before raising his head and slowly asking.
”Senior Han is right! When the time comes, we will also present this doppelganger of senior as a JieDan stage cultivator as well. In this way, it will make up for the extremely bad impact brought about by the betrayal of the two Elders Zhao and Meng.” The young girl smiled faintly and said with confidence.
”If it’s really this kind of condition, I can agree to it! However, in front of the other cultivators, I won’t take the initiative to admit that I’m an Elder of your Sect, and a few of you shouldn’t expect that I’ll do anything superficial for your Sect. How to make people believe that I have become an Elder of your Sect is all up to yourselves.”
After some thought, Han Li didn’t feel that this wouldn’t do him any harm, and out of his desire for the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, he finally agreed.
”Alright, as long as senior doesn’t deny this matter when the time comes, my sisters and I will naturally have a way to take care of everything!” The young girl revealed a joyful look, her face glowing as she said.
Since the two had reached a deal, the Violet Spirit Fairy didn’t mean to procrastinate, so she fished out a strange box from her body and placed it on the table. Said this box is strange, because this thing is not wood, not gold, and does not look like jade and other things made of, the body is translucent color, also attached to a layer of light green haze.
See Han Li reveals a strange look, purple spirit fairy then softly explains to Han Li: “This box uses a kind of thing called paste jade made, although the name with jade but in fact is not jade, and is not listed within the five elements. It is also the only thing that can preserve the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo for a long period of time without fear of the aura leaking out.”
Han Li nodded, since he hadn’t heard of the name “Anointed Jade” before, it meant that this item was also a rare thing, and should be exceptionally precious.
Next, Fairy Violet Spirit had already stretched out a green and tender jade-like finger, and with a flash on her fingertip, a green light the size of a soybean appeared on it.
Then she did not hesitate to the box cover gently point, green light and the box on the green haze after a touch, issued a “crackle” a slight pop, suddenly the haze faded to a clean, the box cover slowly opened on its own.
Han Li’s spirit was revitalized, hurriedly gazed into the box.
