Chapter 348 -157: “Brother Qiu, are you going alone?

The Flying Boat was battered and riddled with holes after the attack from the Nascent Soul elder, but it could still fly despite being much slower than before.

It was simple to control.

Move as one wishes.

Nonetheless, Chen Qiu chose to travel on this Flying Boat. After all, he was not in a hurry and did not mind the slower pace. This was his first Flying Boat, originally worth a whole 700 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

If it weren’t for encountering Qi Mei, a True Disciple of Yuan Sect, he would probably not be willing to spend 700 Mid-grade Spirit Stones to purchase a Flying Boat within three to five months.

He managed to find six Nascent Soul bodies of First Grade and one of Fourth Grade from the Yuan Sect’s Treasure Vault and the elder sect members, in addition to the First Grade Nascent Soul body he acquired upon leaving Da Xia Country from the Alchemy Cultivator inheritance.

...

In total, he could cultivate eight Nascent Souls for Chao Tian Sect.

He had already sent these items out.

With one or two days of dedicated practice, these people could successfully break through to Nascent Soul, which would be a significant fighting force for Chao Tian Sect. Eight Nascent Souls, although all at the first layer, were nevertheless Nascent Souls, an overwhelming power for Golden Cores.

Of course… this did not include him.

As for the resources of Chao Tian Sect, he kept those from the Treasure Vault, but he did not reclaim the resources in the corners of the sect or the disciple dormitory, adhering to the principle that whoever finds it, keeps it.

As for his Second Grade Nascent Soul pills, he had already obtained four, just five more and he would have enough.

He made his slow journey through the night.

As dawn was about to break, Chen Qiu stopped the Flying Boat not far from the Taoist Sect’s Mountain Gate, preparing to personally find the Taoist Sect Master for a chat. He didn’t bring many people, only the scholar.

In case of any danger, he could use the “Merit Defense Order” to fend off any harm, then escape quickly using the scholar’s Bloodline Entry, and return another day to slay the Evil Demon.

“Brother Qiu, are you going alone?”

Fat Long looked at Chen Qiu with some concern, “How about taking some Chao Tian Sect disciples with you? After all, they’re all at the Golden Core Perfection, which could be quite deterring.”

“No need.”

Chen Qiu shook his head, “Without reaching Nascent Soul, bringing them is pointless. I’ll just go in and try for myself. They’re likely not to buy it seeing my low cultivation, and they’ll probably attack, so it’s easier to escape with fewer people.”

After stowing Fat Long and the others along with the Flying Boat into his small world,

He walked towards the Taoist Sect’s Mountain Gate with the scholar along the mountain path.

“Stop right there!”

Just as they reached the Mountain Gate, they were intercepted by two disciples wearing Taoist Sect uniforms, who blocked their way with cold expressions: “This is the Taoist Sect’s territory, please state your business, and I will report it.”

“Hmm.”

Chen Qiu stood in place compliantly and smiled warmly, “I just wiped out Yuan Sect, and since I can’t stay here for long, I want to sell Yuan Sect’s territory of four cities and one market town to the Taoist Sect. Go report to your Sect Master if there’s any interest in buying.”

“…”

The Taoist Sect’s Mountain Guarding Disciples stood frozen in place, looking at Chen Qiu incredulously. Yuan Sect was their neighboring sect; when had it been wiped out, and why didn’t he know about it?

The man before them, although cloaked, exuded an extraordinary aura and didn’t seem to be lying.

But he didn’t dwell on whether it was true or not.

It was the elders and the Sect Master’s job to verify the truth; his duty was to report.

The Mountain Guarding Disciple walked aside with a serious expression, communicated softly into the Sound Transmission Ring, and after a moment, returned to Chen Qiu with a slightly more respectful demeanor: “Please, this way, our Sect Master invites you both up the mountain.”

“Hmm.”

…

Under the guidance of the Mountain Guarding Disciple, Chen Qiu leisurely followed the mountain path toward the peak. It seemed like Taoist Sect was a Sword Cultivator sect, as wisps of Sword Intent permeated the air above the sect.

Under the resonance of the Sword Intent, he could even hear the Qingfeng in the scholar’s sleeve trembling.

Along the way, he saw many valuable things; Taoist Sect seemed to be as rich, if not richer than Yuan Sect.

Very good.

Chen Qiu lightly chuckled as he walked behind the Mountain Guarding Disciple, resting on the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella.

They quickly arrived at a side room.

After the Mountain Guarding Disciple opened the door and retreated, Chen Qiu and the scholar entered the room and saw a square-faced middle-aged man sitting there. Before Chen Qiu could speak, the man stood up and said solemnly,

“Sit, I am the current Taoist Sect Master.”

“Hmm.”

Chen Qiu nodded lightly again and then sat down across from the man. He met the man’s gaze with a warm smile: “I’ve long admired the Sect Master’s reputation. Seeing you today, you indeed have an extraordinary demeanor. So let’s cut to the chase, as I’m sure your disciples have relayed my purpose here. What’s your offer?”

The Taoist Sect Master watched Chen Qiu in silence for a long while, then slowly sat down and poured a cup of tea for both Chen Qiu and himself: “I recognize your strength, sir, but you may not be quite familiar with the power structure in Quzhou.”

The scholar had been standing by Chen Qiu’s side since entering the room, a cold figure who didn’t sit down, resembling an attendant.

Then, with a deep breath, the Taoist Sect Master composed his subtly shaken comportment before looking at Chen Qiu earnestly.

“In Quzhou,”

“The territory a power holds does not depend on how much land they can conquer or purchase.”

“In other words, those three cities and one market town of Yuan Sect generate a yearly tax revenue of more than six thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Even if I pay you twenty years’ worth of taxes upfront, which is 120,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, the Taoist Sect would definitely profit since it would be all profit after twenty years.”
