True Adept Guyue knew True Adept Roundy. They were not close, merely acquainted, but Guyue did not have a bad impression of him.
Some time ago, when True Adept Guyue had been gathering treasures, he heard that True Adept Roundy possessed Nine Heavens Demon-Repelling Incense.
Demon-Repelling Incense was a treasure that countered Inner Demons, and Inner Demons were the likeliest cause of failure in Nascent Soul Formation. Comparatively speaking, Inner Demons were less common in the Spirit Projection Stage—at that point, one was more likely to face Heavenly Demons crossing the barriers between realms.
True Adept Guyue had Demon-Repelling Incense, but he hoped to obtain a higher-grade variety, such as Three-Seven Demon-Repelling Incense. As for the finest Nine Heavens Demon-Repelling Incense, he had not held out much hope.
However, since he knew True Adept Roundy had it, he wanted to buy some powder. If that truly was not possible... even some of its aura would do. Knowing that he was not familiar with True Adept Roundy, he asked a True Adept close to Yuan Real Person to inquire on his behalf.
True Adept Roundy flatly denied possessing Nine Heavens Demon-Repelling Incense. Through that True Adept, he also sent True Adept Guyue a message: "You need to tell me where this rumor came from. Otherwise... I may not care about such things, but my martial nephew has quite a temper."
True Adept Guyue did not care in the slightest—so what if your martial nephew had a bad temper? Let him come to Kun Hao and kill me if he could!
In truth, the situation was not that serious. True Adept Guyue asked that True Adept to pass along word that, since it was misinformation, they could let it go. He knew he had been wrong, would not spread the news further,
