Mr. Peach

"Here, your Spirit Stone." After leaving the merchant guild, Lu Yang handed the storage ring given to him by the guild to Master Song.

Master Song was startled and nearly dropped his storage ring. Six million Spirit Stone! He just gave it to him like that?

"No, no, no, I dare not take so many Spirit Stones. Ten thousand, ten thousand is enough." Master Song was just an ordinary person. If people knew that he had so many Spirit Stones, he dared not gamble on whether the security of the Great Xia Dynasty could deter these people.

It wouldn't be good to not take it at all, so I'll just take a tiny bit.

Seeing Song Yuanwai's state, Lu Yang knew he had concerns, so he didn't insist and sent him back to Yuanhe County.

He then distributed two million to each of his two junior female classmates.

Lu Yang has never valued Spirit Stone much. Firstly, he has patent fees and a share of the profits from his barbecue restaurant. With these two things combined, apart from wealthy people like Meng Jingzhou who rely on their ancestors' wealth and Tao Yaoye has ideas ahead of their time, no one in the younger generation is as rich as Lu Yang.

Secondly, he doesn't need Spirit Stone.

He possesses Law Treasure, including the Qingfeng Sword given to him by his senior sister, and the Mingyue Sword once used by the Qilin Immortal.

The heavenly materials and earthly treasures and spiritual soil used for cultivation can be exchanged at the mission hall at any time, or you can pluck a few tendrils from a ginseng doll.

The Cultivation Method are all available in the Scripture Depository.

This is the advantage of a major sect: abundant cultivation resources allow you to focus solely on cultivation.

The purpose of establishing the Mission Hall is not to make disciples exhausted from completing missions, but to allow them to travel down the mountain, punish evil and promote good, so that they don't lose their emotions while cultivating.

The Ask Dao Sect has never advocated the idea of transcending emotions.

Judging from the state of the Five Immortals of High Antiquity, Lu Yang guessed that none of them were truly detached from worldly affairs, especially the Qilin Immortal.

The most famous force advocating detachment from worldly desires is the Heartless Sect.

"I have encountered a few self-proclaimed Supreme Beings, claiming to be single-mindedly devoted to the Dao. But when they get down to business, they are truly ruthless. There are three who killed their wives to prove their Dao and three who killed their children to prove their Dao. There are also two who refined their entire clans into Law Treasure, sparing no one in their family. Moreover, they are expressionless all day long, and they look at everyone as if they owe them Spirit Stone. However, they are not easy to defeat. I destroyed them all with one self-destruction."

"In my humble opinion, they are not truly detached from worldly affairs."

"Isn't this enough to be considered 'too detached from emotions'?" Lu Yang wondered, this was ruthless enough.

"Of course not. Putting everything else aside, would they dare to go without clothes?"

"Not wearing clothes means they still have a sense of shame. What kind of detachment is it to have a sense of shame?"

Upon reflection, Lu Yang realized that this was indeed the case.

Surprisingly, the Immortal Fairy, who seems simple and cute but not very bright, has a very clear mind.

On his way back to Qingshui County after leaving Yuanhe County, Lu Yang remembered that he was a sword cultivator and could fly on a sword, so there was no need for him to ride a horse.

The Qingfeng sword floated up, three feet off the ground, and Lu Yang leaped onto it, standing with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, exuding boundless glory.

"Now that's more like a sword immortal."

Lu Yang had heard that sword cultivators had a special way of fighting: two sword cultivators would stand facing each other and fly towards each other on their swords, and the one who was knocked down would lose.

Lu Yang felt that if he were to participate in this kind of combat, he would probably have to use a flying car.

"Lu Yang, a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator has his eye on you," the Immortal Fairy warned.

"Spirit Transformation stage cultivator?"

Lu Yang abruptly stopped his flying sword, his hair standing on end. With a loud bang, an explosion occurred in front of him, and a figure dispersed the dust and blocked Lu Yang and his companions.

"How dare you sell my Law Treasure to the merchant guild! You're really asking for trouble!"

The aura emanating from that figure made Lu Yang and his companions tremble. Even the Invincible Pills were issuing warnings, urging Lu Yang to flee immediately.

The other party exuded a chilling aura, sharing the same lineage as the painting, clearly an old Old Devil who had secretly killed countless people.

"Your Law Treasure?"

Tao Yaoye was still puzzled. If the painting belonged to someone, how could it have been stored in a storage ring?

Lu Yang put himself in their shoes and understood the crux of the matter. "You were worried that the Great Xia would trace you back to the Law Treasure, so you erased the mark of you from the magic weapon, planning to reap the rewards after the Law Treasure had refined you?"

"He's quite clever." The cold, sinister figure hadn't expected Lu Yang to figure out the reason so quickly.

However, this still couldn't change Lu Yang's fate.

"Judging from the jade pendants on your waists, two are from the Ask Dao Sect and one is from the Laurel Immortal Palace?"

"Knowing who we are, you still dare to attack us?"

The cold, sinister figure chuckled twice, "So what if you're from the Immortal Sect? Even if the Immortal Sect has extraordinary abilities, they won't be able to detect me if you die here!"

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, wondering if the other party was genuinely unaware or pretending. If a disciple of the Immortal Sect was in trouble, the Immortal Sect could calculate the cause and effect, and the culprit would definitely not escape.

Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting were on high alert, silently gripping their weapons, preparing to launch a sudden attack.

"Anyone who dares to harm our boss's customer shall die!"

Another cold voice rang out from the sky, and a figure wielding a nine-section whip, on which burned eerie ghost flames. The whip lashed at the cold figure, and the ghostly blue flames, like a leech, relentlessly pursued him.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, each unleashing their Law Treasure. In less than a hundred rounds, the sinister figure was captured by the owner of the Nine-Section Whip.

"Gentlemen, please come with us. Our boss wants to see you."

The owner of the nine-section whip looked coldly at Lu Yang and the other two, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

The owner of the Nine-Section Whip was also at the Spirit Transformation stage, but judging from his ability to easily defeat the sinister figure, his strength was among the best in the Spirit Transformation stage.

Tao Yaoye's palms felt slightly cool. She had seen the owner of this nine-section whip before. She had met him when she went to a barbecue restaurant with her senior brother Lu Yang. At that time, the other party was standing behind Vice Sect Leader Shi, and should be Vice Sect Leader Shi's right-hand man.

His name seems to be... Huo Spirit Transformation?

Why would the Nine Nether Sect be looking for them?

What is the purpose?

Tao Yaoye dared not think any further.

Although Lan Ting did not recognize Huo Spirit Transformation, she could tell from the aura he exuded that he was up to no good.

Should they run? But their opponents are clearly far stronger than them. How can they escape?

"Who is your boss, and what is your purpose in contacting us?" Tao Yaoye looked at Huo Spirit Transformation.

Huo Spirit Transformation glanced coldly at Tao Yaoye: "You'll find out when you get there."

Tao Yaoye and Lan Ting looked to Lu Yang for help, and Lu Yang nodded. "Follow them and see."

None of the four spoke along the way; the atmosphere was terribly oppressive. Huo Spirit Transformation walked in front, leading the three to a small pavilion.

The small pavilion was in a remote place, far from any village or shop, and there were hardly any pedestrians around.

A man sat in the small pavilion. He was dressed in black, and his presence was like that of an abyss. Just one glance at him was enough to make one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. He was truly a ruthless and bloodthirsty demon.

This person is none other than Petrified Bone, one of the three vice leaders of the Nine Nether Sect.

"Boss, the person has been brought, and it's been confirmed that no one will be coming."

"Okay, go stand at the back."

Huo Spirit Transformation said "yes" and stood behind the petrified bone without saying a word, like a statue.

"This must be Mr. Peach, the one who created the dream bubble. I've long admired your name; it's great to finally meet True Person today."

"With the blazing success of 'Dream Bubble,' Mr. Tao must have earned a considerable amount of Spirit Stone. Congratulations!"

Tao Yaoye felt a chill run down her spine, and cold sweat broke out on her back. She hadn't expected that the Nine Nether Sect's target was her.

Are they eyeing a mirage? Are they trying to seize its wealth, or demanding its patents?

"It's all just ordinary people watching, they don't earn much," Tao Yaoye said, forcing a smile.

"Not much money? Mr. Tao, that's not a very meaningful thing to say."

"What exactly do you want?"

"People die for wealth, birds die for food. With Mr. Tao's intelligence, surely you can guess what I'm planning to do?"

Petrified Bone smirked coldly.

"Mr. Tao, could you use Dream Bubble to help us promote our barbecue restaurant? We have a sufficient budget and the price is negotiable."
