Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 254 - 117: Holy Fire Fifth Grade Elder, Blood Gold, Silent Infiltration into Beijiang

Chapter 254: Chapter 117: Holy Fire Fifth Grade Elder, Blood Gold, Silent Infiltration into Beijiang

This was to make her lover risk his life to deliver a message.

She wanted to defend her lover.

Fang Jianlong, standing beside her, was stunned and hurriedly tried to explain, but then he subtly glanced at Zhu Qiao’Er and closed his mouth again.

He made a choice that a normal person would make in his heart.

In the past, he and this girl had a mutual understanding in the secret chamber, but now... what he needed was not mutual understanding, but to hold onto this girl’s support.

She was standing up for him. If he contradicted her, this opportunity might slip away.

Why bother?

"Gold for Blood Gold?"

Elder Zhu’s face immediately changed.

This matter was a major taboo.

Blood Gold could only be circulated between powerful entities above the Sixth Grade. If it circulated outside, it would be a big problem.

Yan Mu cast a glance at that Fang Jianlong, who avoided his gaze.

Yan Mu frowned slightly, wanting to get up, but Mu Hua next to him pressed down on him, signaling him not to speak out.

But Yan Mu still stood up and said, "Elder Zhu, that Blood Saber Sect’s Blood Saber Ancestor is my relative. He merely inquired about the exchange with me in private and did not actually make the exchange."

Zhu Qiao’Er muttered, "Brother Fang still has Blood Gold in his arms."

Yan Mu said coldly, "That’s what I gave him!"

Elder Zhu looked at the people below the stage, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

He thought for a moment and said, "Is this Blood Saber Ancestor from the Blood Saber Sect, a Sixth Grade that we let slip outside?"

Yan Mu replied, "To report to Elder Zhu, he doesn’t cultivate the Blood Saber Sect’s skills. He seems to just be secluded in Shanbao County. He was honored with the title of Blood Saber Ancestor because he sheltered the Blood Saber Sect."

Elder Zhu nodded, "I see..."

He tapped the table and said, "Trading Blood Gold is strictly prohibited. However, giving Blood Gold to relatives doesn’t violate the rules... Let’s just let this matter go."

"Little Fang, return the Blood Gold to Yan Mu and have him send it back. You stay here." Elder Zhu made the decision with a single word, and as for relying on his position to confront that Blood Saber Ancestor for his daughter’s sake, he wouldn’t do that. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Wouldn’t that be creating trouble out of nothing? Wouldn’t that be foolish?

Zhu Qiao’Er still wanted to vent for her lover, pouting, "Dad~~"

Elder Zhu said, "Good daughter, that’s enough, we are still in a war with the Xinghai."

Zhu Qiao’Er huffed, stomped her foot, and turned around to run off.

Elder Zhu, having only this one seedling left, left on the eve of his Sixth Grade promotion, couldn’t bear to scold, could only glare at Fang Jianlong.

Fang Jianlong quickly saluted and then chased after her, calling out "Qiao Mei, Qiao Mei."

After this incident, the hall quieted down for a while.

Elder Zhu suddenly turned his head and said, "Yan Mu, since your relative is a Sixth Grade and also needs Blood Gold, I do have a suggestion."

Yan Mu stood up and saluted, "Please speak, Elder Zhu."

Elder Zhu said, "Our five families are like branches of the same tree, but experts above Sixth Grade are quite scarce. Moreover, in dealing with Xinghai and Evil Ghosts, only those above Sixth Grade can make a significant impact.

Why don’t you talk with your relative and let him become a Tributor? The Blood Gold supply will be the same as that for Inner Sect Disciples. How about that?"

Yan Mu thought of his reclusive uncle-in-law and smiled bitterly, "He is wholeheartedly avoiding the world..."

"Alright, alright, alright." Elder Zhu impatiently waved his hand, "Let’s not talk about him. Let’s discuss how to kill the Mansion Master of Beijiang Prefecture.

If we really knew who the Mansion Master is, it would be easy enough...

The most annoying part is that the person sitting in the mansion is definitely not the Mansion Master, the real Mansion Master is elsewhere.

Dealing with these Xinghai is the most troublesome."

...

...

A few days later.

A letter and a bag of Blood Gold were delivered to Li Yuan’s hands.

Li Yuan flipped through the letter, recognized the familiar handwriting, and quietly closed it.

"I didn’t expect Fang Jianlong to have such good fortune; it’s truly impressive."

He could also understand Fang Jianlong’s actions.

Anyone who suddenly got a hold of a big opportunity, especially from ’a prominent power in the Blood Saber Sect,’ wouldn’t make the wrong choice.

But he... was naturally the wrong choice.

"While I can understand, when that girl sold me out, he didn’t utter a word. This sense of camaraderie has been severed."

Li Yuan lit the letter.

Yan Mu and he were originally friends, and now they were also relatives, naturally not hiding anything from each other.

The wind blew away the ashes of the letter.

Li Yuan grasped the Blood Gold.

This metal seemed to have locked in the blood within it, and holding it in the palm of the hand, it felt scorching, as if it was constantly emitting heat, quite different from ordinary stones.

This made Li Yuan think of those "artifacts" that were cold like ice blocks.

The two were as different as day and night, forming a stark contrast.

"My nephew has shared his heart with me, treating me quite well, giving me a hundred and fifty taels of Blood Gold. This is probably all of his wealth, not in vain for me using White Sparrow to block a hit for him..."

"However, these hundred and fifty taels of Blood Gold are like water without a source; once used, they’re gone."

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, muttering to himself, "Tributor, is it?"

"The Blood Saber Ancestor wouldn’t go to be a Tributor; Blood Saber Ancestor only wants to guard the small borderlands of Shanbao County, Tian Nan County, and Hua Mo County, and wouldn’t go anywhere."

"But, it’s different for others."

"At least, one can go have a look."

The young man lowered his eyes, with a glimmer of thought in his gaze.

He called for an ox cart, loaded it with a full cart of "New Snow Brew," and then personally sent the emissary out through Shanbao County’s North City Gate, smiling, "This wine is just ordinary wine, but the taste should still be palatable. The emissary can take a few jars from the cart, and the rest help me hand over to Yan Mu."

The emissary, seeing the Blood Saber Ancestor being so easy to deal with, also returned the gesture with a smile, "It will certainly be done."
