Seeking Wealth Amid Danger

The extremely refined-looking middle-aged man nodded slightly.

"Fortunately, you sent someone to report this, otherwise, Feng Qi's methods are ruthless, and the consequences would have been unpredictable."

The elder with the thick beard also said in a deep voice, "That's right, Feng Qi, that dog thief, became famous decades ago. He really has the nerve to deal with a junior!"

The two were furious.

However, since they were in Desolate Mountain and wild place, the two of them were not in a hurry to chase after Feng Qi.

The Red Cloud Sect, Pine Bamboo Courtyard, is where the Red Cloud Sect receives guests.

The area is planted with many pine and bamboo trees, which look tall and lush.

Chen Wang and Gao Xingqiu lived here, and even without going out, they could sense that the Red Cloud Sect was not peaceful tonight.

I wonder what will happen to that young female cultivator, Su Jie, and what changes will occur in the Market.

Although he had gone through a fierce battle that had exhausted his Law Power, Chen Wang had recovered considerably.

He also reaped great rewards today.

He had two top-grade Top Grade Magic Tool. He took out the miniature flying sword from his Storage Bag, held it in his hand and examined it carefully. He found that there were two ancient seal characters engraved on the sword.

"Crimson Flame".

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

This sword was extremely sharp, no less so than the Golden Wind Sword of the Seven Stars Sect, and it destroyed his own Golden Flood Dragon Flag with a single strike.

However, tonight's harvest was extremely rich; the value of those Spirit Stone alone was several times that of the Golden Flood Dragon Flag.

Not to mention the many Law Artifact, talismans and elixirs, and some special items from the Ghost Path.

"Fortune favors the bold"—this saying has never been wrong.

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

His Sword Nurturing Gourd could still hold the last sword, which was just the right size to fit the Crimson Serpent Sword inside.

Being in the Pine Bamboo Courtyard the Red Cloud Sect, Chen Wang had no time to refine this sword.

He was waiting for the people from the Red Cloud Sect to question him again.

He was curious about what kind of trouble the Profound Yin Sect would cause. However, by noon the next day, no one had come.

Neither the young female cultivator Su Jie nor the elder he had met came.

Only he and Gao Xingqiu lived here, and disciples of the Red Cloud Sect came to deliver meals.

When Chen Wang asked, the other party was completely clueless and unaware of the outside situation.

The lunch prepared by the Red Cloud Sect was extremely exquisite, with perfect color, aroma, and taste, and the ingredients used were not ordinary.

Chen Wang took a sniff and realized that this Spirit Rice was of much better quality than the rice he had bought, with a richer Spiritual Qi.

"The food at the Red Cloud Sect looks quite good."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the disciples of the Red Cloud Sect came over and took the food away.

"What exactly happened? Why hasn't anyone come to see me?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Chen Wang's eyes.

Knock, knock, knock! A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Brother Chen, are you resting?"

Gao Xingqiu's deep voice rang out from outside the door.

Chen Wang got up and pushed the door open, seeing Gao Xingqiu standing outside. "Brother Gao, how are your injuries?"

As Chen Wang spoke, he led Gao Xingqiu inside.

There was hot tea on the table, and he poured a cup for Gao Xingqiu.

Gao Xingqiu said, "The external injuries are no longer a major concern, but the meridians are damaged, so they need to be recuperated slowly."

He was physically strong and a skilled martial artist; although his injuries were severe, he was lively and energetic the very next day.

Chen Wang also sighed, "It's good that you're alright."

Gao Xingqiu clasped his hands and said, "Brother Chen, I owe you a lot yesterday. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my soul would have been taken away by someone."

Chen Wang smiled; he had a good impression of this rather forthright man.

After their conversation, Chen Wang asked curiously, "No matter what happened last night, why haven't the people from the Red Cloud Sect come looking for us today?"

Gao Xingqiu shook his head. "It must be an extremely serious matter in the sect. All the manpower has been sent out, and the younger disciples are unable to handle our affairs."

Chen Wang nodded and smiled, "Brother Gao is indeed very experienced."

A look of sadness appeared on Gao Xingqiu's face. "What's the use of being experienced? Two brothers are dead, and one has turned against me. Sigh, I'm really a failure as a person."

Chen Wang said, "It's not that the people are wrong, but that the world is wrong."

Gao Xingqiu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Wang and said, "Brother Chen, you are so young, yet you can say such things. You seem to have quite a lot of experience."

Chen Wang remained noncommittal. "Nonsense."

Gao Xingqiu: "..."

He was a man who could take things in stride and didn't mention the events of the previous night again.

He took out a Jade Slip and a Talisman Paper from his pocket and handed them to Chen Wang.

"This is Five Thunder Talisman that I obtained by mistake when I entered a cave abode of an ancestor. This Jade Slip contains the Five Thunder True Method, but unfortunately I am not talented enough to cultivate it successfully."

"I'm giving it to my brother, Brother Chen, to see if you can master it."

This Five Thunder Talisman is of extremely high quality; even though it has consumed some of its power, it is still incredibly powerful.

After Chen Wang received it, he immediately felt the warm and pure yang energy of Thunder Fire within it.

Simply wearing this amulet as decoration is believed to ward off evil spirits.

Just as he was about to decline, Gao Xingqiu said in a serious tone, "Although I am a rogue cultivator, my life is worth more than this. I will remember your kindness. This is just a gift. If you don't accept it, you are disrespecting me!"

What a kind person... Chen Wang was somewhat moved. He had only pretended to decline, just going through the motions.

I never expected Gao Xingqiu to be so generous.

The Spiritual Qi energy contained in this Five Thunder Talisman is extremely powerful. Although the thunder diagram on it has dimmed somewhat, it is still usable.

"In that case, I won't refuse." Chen Wang put the things away.

I then examined the Jade Slip.

This Jade Slip slip contains a Five Thunder True Method Law Technique.

Thunder Method is extremely domineering, and the Five Thunder True Method is an extremely authentic Thunder Method.

Once it gets out, it will probably attract a lot of people to fight over it.

This particular Thunder Method is extremely authentic, and even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would be tempted by it.

However, the qualification requirements are extremely high.

Chen Wang took a deep breath and looked at Gao Xingqiu again, and felt that this person was quite nice, with a kind face.

He put away the Jade Slip containing the Five Thunder True Method and the Five Thunder Talisman.

The two chatted idly and discovered that Gao Xingqiu was originally from the military and had even been involved in the martial arts world.

"It turns out that Brother Gao is also a martial arts master."

"Martial arts are far inferior to cultivation of immortality; I only came to this realization later."

Gao Xingqiu's martial arts skills were exceptional, and he was renowned throughout the martial arts world.

After talking with him, Chen Wang discovered that the man had a wealth of experience.

Gao Xingqiu said, "My former superior killed innocent people and took credit for them. I beheaded him. Later, I was not tolerated by the court, so I entered the martial arts world in a fit of anger. That's when I came into contact with cultivation."

"What a spirit!" Chen Wang exclaimed.

The two talked for a while, and it was already afternoon when no one came looking for them.

Gao Xingqiu himself was quite calm, mainly because he had a clean background; he was originally recruited by the Red Cloud Sect.

Chen Wang was slightly worried, wondering what had happened.

Gao Xingqiu said, "Brother, are you worried that your cultivation level will make people suspect your identity?"

Chen Wang was taken aback for a moment, but he did not mention this to Gao Xingqiu.

"Brother, how did you figure that out?"

Gao Xingqiu smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious at a glance? It's just that the relationship between the various parties is quite tense at this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if there were some hidden talents among the independent cultivators in the Market."

"Moreover, you have rendered meritorious service in reporting the news, so the Red Cloud Sect will not make things difficult for you. They might even let you join the sect."

Gao Xingqiu analyzed.
