Ch 24: Why Waste The Money? Shifu Can Make It
“No.”
Li Hanzhou said comfortingly, “Martial Uncle has money now, helping you improve your strength is a piece of cake. We can also renovate Longevity Temple properly, get you a new bed, how about that!”
“Has money?”
Liu Dongyue’s eyes lit up.
“I don’t want a new bed, Martial Uncle might as well buy me a powerful Spirit Treasure. That way I can deal with them.” Liu Dongyue quickly said, “This disciple saw a Spirit Treasure in the Divine Mechanism Merchant Guild, the Soul-Snatching Bell. With this thing, this disciple can definitely defeat them and preserve the reputation of my Longevity Temple!”
“Good, for the sake of upholding the face of my Longevity Temple, Martial Uncle definitely supports you!” Li Hanzhou immediately agreed.
Money.
What’s to be afraid of?
“Only two hundred thousand taels.” Liu Dongyue looked at Li Hanzhou expectantly, his gaze full of excitement.
Li Hanzhou: …
“Dongyue ah.” Li Hanzhou patted Liu Dongyue’s shoulder and said, “That Soul-Snatching Bell, it’s not complicated, yet it sells for two hundred thousand taels. What’s the difference between this and robbing money? Of course, Martial Uncle isn’t cherishing the money ah, you want to uphold the face of my Longevity Temple, this is a good thing. I also think the Three Families are too arrogant, treating my Longevity Temple as if it has no one! If they come, they must be severely taught a lesson. As for the Soul-Snatching Bell, Martial Uncle will refine one for you, it’s a small matter. Why spend two hundred thousand taels?”
“Martial Uncle, you shouldn’t refine it, right?” Liu Dongyue shivered.
The previous incident of refining the Seven Treasures Gourd and the resulting social death still made Liu Dongyue apprehensive.
“Rest assured, this time Martial Uncle’s refined item will definitely be reliable. Just rest assured.” Li Hanzhou patted his chest, guaranteeing it.
“Then Martial Uncle, give me some money to buy pills. This disciple will buy a Divine Strength Pill. That pill can temporarily enhance this disciple’s strength, it’s said that one can fight four, a very powerful pill, only fifty thousand taels a piece!” Liu Dongyue reached out his hand, eagerly waiting for Li Hanzhou to give him banknotes.
“Tsk.”
Li Hanzhou said, “Don’t eat things from outside indiscriminately. They’re all technology and ruthlessness, you know? It’s uncertain what side effects you might have after eating them. It’s just a Divine Strength Pill, right? Martial Uncle will refine one for you. Martial Uncle promised to refine medicine for you before, and since things are finished these days, I’ll go back and refine it for you now. Rest assured, I guarantee you won’t die from eating it!”
“Just wait obediently!”
Li Hanzhou laughed heartily and left the Great Hall.
Watching Li Hanzhou’s departing back, Liu Dongyue couldn’t help but shiver.
He had a bad feeling.
“Why are these things so expensive.” Li Hanzhou sighed as he walked, originally thinking that getting seventy thousand taels of banknotes from Zhao Qianqiu was already a lot of money, who would have thought that a Spirit Treasure and a pill would be so expensive.
I can make it myself, why buy it from outside?
Li Hanzhou had spent so many hard years on Earth, deeply understanding a truth: if you can do it yourself, absolutely don’t buy it from outside.
I’m not without the means.
So Li Hanzhou immediately set off for the Divine Mechanism Merchant Guild in White Cloud City to buy things.
However, at this moment, the news of Zhao Qianqiu’s death had spread throughout Jianghu.
The entire Jianghu was greatly shocked.
Zhao Qianqiu’s strength was about to enter the Saber Immortal Realm, yet he actually died?
The news spread among the various Sects.
Even the Experts of some Major Sects couldn’t believe it when they heard the news.
However, no one knew who exactly killed him.
However, everyone’s eyes were focused on one power.
Tang Sect!
Because it was rumored that Zhao Qianqiu died at the hands of the Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapon, the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus.
Some powers even went to the Tang Sect to congratulate them, congratulating the Tang Sect on eliminating a menace from Jianghu, and also urging them to be wary of the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion’s revenge.
Tang Jue, the Sect Master of the Tang Sect, had met four or five waves of Guests since he got up, but even after the Guests left, Tang Jue was still dumbfounded and didn’t know what had happened.
Zhao Qianqiu died at the hands of the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus.
The key is that the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus was stolen by Tang Sect Disciple Zhou Ziyin.
Zhou Ziyin was in the Dungeon, beaten for three days and nights, burned with fire, poisoned, even his fingernails were pulled out, yet he still gritted his teeth and refused to say where the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus was.
The Tang Sect disciples began to admire this former Senior Brother for being so stubborn.
He refused to say who had the Hidden Weapon, even when beaten to death.
Only when it was midnight and no one was around, would he mutter things to himself, cursing something about a “Chicken Leg Thief” or something, which others couldn’t understand.
“Sect Master.”
At this time, a disciple walked in and respectfully said, “The Old Ancestor asks you to come.”
“I’ll go right away.” Tang Jue knew that this matter would surely alarm the Old Ancestor, so he tidied his clothes and went to a courtyard in the Tang Sect to see the Tang Sect Old Ancestor.
“Old Ancestor.”
Entering the small courtyard, he saw an Old Man sitting in front of a chessboard, playing against himself.
“Jue’er, you’ve come.” The Tang Sect Old Ancestor, Tang Shiyuan, didn’t raise his head, but threw a note to Tang Jue, saying, “Take a look.”
Tang Jue curiously picked up the note, and when he saw the content on the note, his face immediately changed.
“News from the Imperial Palace.” Tang Shiyuan said calmly, “Zhao Qianqiu died at the hands of my Tang Sect’s Thousand Life Ghost Lotus, and that person can also use the Great Celestial Phenomenon Art. It seems that my Tang Sect is inexplicably involved with the people of Star Luo Kingdom.”
“This matter is troublesome.”
Tang Jue’s face turned very ugly: “Your Majesty must have known about this. If Your Majesty guesses that our Tang Sect is involved with Star Luo Kingdom, what will happen then?”
“Perhaps Your Majesty’s people sent to the Tang Sect are already on their way.” Tang Jue sat down, holding the note in his hand: “Who is it? Since it’s news from the palace, don’t they know the identity of this person?”
“What Your Majesty wants you to know, you will naturally know.” Tang Shiyuan placed a piece down: “If Your Majesty doesn’t want you to know, you naturally won’t know.”
“Old Ancestor, you mean that this person’s Given Name is hidden by Your Majesty?” Tang Jue asked in surprise.
“What do you think?” Tang Shiyuan said: “The Emperor didn’t send anyone to our Tang Sect to bring charges, either he doesn’t care about this matter at all, or he wants to deal with my Tang Sect…”
“Sigh.”
Tang Shiyuan sighed lightly: “If the Emperor really sent someone to my Tang Sect to bring charges at this time, it would actually make this old man feel more at ease. I really can’t figure out what this Emperor is thinking.”
“Old Ancestor, I think it’s best to be fully prepared.” Tang Jue pondered for a moment and said cautiously.
“What do you want to prepare?” Tang Shiyuan’s calm eyes flashed with a hint of fluctuation: “What? Do you want to rebel?”
