Rebellious Immortal Sect Disciple

Chen Ganliu obviously didn't have any Nine-Turn Jade Spirit Pills in his hands, but why would he need to?

As long as someone was competing for business, he could naturally drive up the price.

To even add a bit of intimidation, he deliberately released the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade, letting it hover above his head. Normally, this Immortal Flying Blade stood upright in its sheath, but this time it was unsheathed, its blade light spitting and swallowing, like a golden rainbow flashing with lightning.

Even though Chen Ganliu was only at the Second Layer of Qi Condensation, Boiling Liquid into Qi, with the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade hovering above his head, who would dare underestimate him? They would all assume they couldn't see through the young man's cultivation.

Seeing Chen Ganliu appear, the two Daoists' faces paled slightly in alarm. They quickly said, "Fairy Nan, we had an agreement, you can't go back on your word!"

Nan Shiheng's expression was complicated upon seeing Chen Ganliu. She didn't lash out but said indifferently, "How do you wish to trade?"

Chen Ganliu said calmly, "Let's discuss it elsewhere!"

The two Daoists immediately became anxious. They didn't understand this kind of business tactic of "playing hard to get" and only thought Chen Ganliu genuinely wanted to trade. They hurriedly called out, "Fairy Nan, we agreed long ago."

Chen Ganliu chuckled, "I've heard enough. The price was set, but you went back on your word. Since that's the case, why not let me do this deal?"

The two Daoists hurriedly said, "When did we go back on our word?"

"Ten Nine-Turn Jade Spirit Pills for an Immortal Sword, no other price."

Chen Ganliu took a deep breath. He remembered the Flying Sword his Senior Sister had shown him, which was just ordinary. At the time, he thought Golden Core Great Cultivators were nothing special, not even having a good Flying Sword. Now he knew it wasn't that Nan Shiheng didn't have a good Flying Sword, but that it had been extorted from her for her friend's injuries.

If his cultivation were sufficient, he truly wanted to beat these two bastards to death.

He naturally knew that although the Nine-Turn Jade Spirit Pill was an excellent healing elixir, how could it compare to an Immortal Flying Blade?

Let alone ten pills, even thirty or fifty wouldn't be worth one Immortal Sword.

Flying Swords were truly priceless and rarely seen on the market. Those that were put up for sale were all of inferior quality.

But how could Nan Shiheng's Flying Sword be such a thing?

Chen Ganliu smiled faintly and said, "Get lost!"

He exhaled a breath of True Qi onto the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade. This Immortal Flying Blade, spitting golden rainbow light, suddenly grew larger.

Chen Ganliu inwardly lamented his shame. How could he possibly control this Immortal Flying Blade?

It was just that the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade was truly obliging, cooperating extraordinarily and displaying its might!

The two Daoists exchanged glances, both showing looks of alarm. Chen Ganliu's cultivation seemed low, but this Flying Sword possessed a fierce blade intent that chilled to the bone. The two Daoists believed they could absolutely not withstand an attack from the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade. Seeing Chen Ganliu truly enraged, they dared not utter a word and turned to leave.

Nan Shiheng didn't stop them. After a long while, she said indifferently, "Do you really have Nine-Turn Jade Spirit Pills?"

Chen Ganliu sighed and said, "No!"

Nan Shiheng raised an eyebrow slightly, and a killing intent immediately erupted.

Chen Ganliu could only brace himself and say, "But I know how to save Master."

Nan Shiheng was stunned for a long time before asking, "Who exactly is your Master?"

Chen Ganliu looked at Nan Shiheng, his heart filled with mixed emotions. But he knew he had passed a test.

This Senior Sister from his previous life had no intention of killing him, so they could have a brief exchange.

Chen Ganliu didn't hide anything. He slightly altered his origins, as he couldn't reveal that he had lived three lives and cultivated twice. He only said that an unknown Daoist taught him the Twelve Talisman Arts of the Mystic Gate when he was young. Later, wanting to seek immortal encounters, he ran away from home and went to the Suiyang Immortal Market. The events after that didn't need to be concealed.

Nan Shiheng listened, half-believing, half-doubting. She said indifferently, "So you became a disciple of Yun Susu, and then a disciple of Yao Hanshan?"

"This is heresy in the immortal path. If the Green Leaf Sect finds out, they will surely kill you."

"I won't capture a traitor for the Green Leaf Sect, but don't let me see you a second time."

Nan Shiheng used a spell to verify Chen Ganliu's words. Except for the beginning, which was somewhat untrue, the rest was actually the truth. However, even after verifying with her spell, she still couldn't believe it. After all, Chen Ganliu's experiences were too fantastical. She even thought that his profound Demonic Cultivation Technique had distorted her spell, making it more likely than him telling the truth.

Every time she felt that Chen Ganliu might be telling the truth, she would glance at the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade. Chen Ganliu didn't know the origin of the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade. The Immortal Encounter Sect had tacitly avoided mentioning it since Yao Hanshan's defection, but how could Nan Shiheng not know?

The Mind-Wandering Zen Blade was once on par with Qing Luan, one of the seven great famous blades in the world. It was not only one of the seven Flying Swords of the Immortal Encounter Sect but also the foremost among them, the first immortal weapon of the Immortal Encounter Sect, and full of spiritual essence.

It was also the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade itself that chose Yao Hanshan back then. If the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade hadn't recognized him as its master, this immortal weapon wouldn't have fallen into Yao Hanshan's hands.

To be recognized by the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade, one must be an unparalleled genius in cultivation. Yao Hanshan back then, as well as Daoist Yun, the eldest disciple of Qing Xuanzi and the previous owner of the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade, were both the most outstanding geniuses of the Immortal Encounter Sect in the past thousand years, their fame unparalleled.

Nan Shiheng also knew that Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou were at the Jade Tower Temple Posthouse. Her first reaction was to leave quickly. If she delayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to escape. She was currently heavily injured and truly couldn't contend with these two Demonesses.

For various reasons, Nan Shiheng didn't make a move. After leaving a word, she intended to escape. Chen Ganliu knew that his Senior Sister might not believe him. Saying this was just to ease his conscience. Seeing his Senior Sister about to leave, he hurriedly said, "I heard that Qiu Sheng died near Plum Blossom Mountain years ago, and no one has found him or his place of meditation yet."

"If we can find his place of meditation, we can obtain that set of White Sun Needles. These needles not only have infinite uses in combat but are also the best in the world for clearing meridians and expelling foreign True Qi. They are also a rare treasure in the world for saving people."

Nan Shiheng said in a low voice, "Don't I know that?"

"The Immortal Encounter Sect and the lineage of the Jade Purity Feather Ascension Tower both originated from the ancient Bronze Drum Sect. Don't I know the miraculous uses of the White Sun Needles? Do I need you to tell me?"

Chen Ganliu took a deep breath and said, "I know a few locations."

Chen Ganliu's intention to seek the White Sun Needles was not blind. Decades later, a few rumors would emerge, but they hadn't yet. He and his Senior Sister had deduced them several times based on these rumors. The reason they could broadly pinpoint Qiu Sheng's possible death location was not due to their deduction skills but because they both suspected that Qiu Sheng's body had already been found and his belongings taken.

It was precisely because someone had already found it that some information had leaked out.

They had even suspected who might have taken Qiu Sheng's belongings, but those people had never shown any clues and had never used the magic treasures stolen by Qiu Sheng from the Jade Purity Feather Ascension Tower, so there was no way to confirm.

At this moment, being able to use "hindsight" decades in advance, Chen Ganliu was quite confident.
