The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 749 - 417: Accident

She candidly admitted to killing Duanmu Yan, which caused Mr. Gongshu’s brows to flicker slightly, seeming not to notice her probing again, and he thoughtfully said, "This condition is acceptable. Let’s exchange information using an Earth Yin ssenger."

The Earth Yin ssenger is an upgraded version of the Earth Yin Child. The Gongshu family, being wealthy and influential, naturally can afford such a thing.

"The third condition: I want priority purchasing rights to the trick tools from Qianjin Hall."

This unexpected pivot surprised Mr. Gongshu for a mont. He blinked and then realized, "You, you are actually discussing business with ?"

"Exactly." She spoke confidently, "The trick tools of Qianjin Hall are famous far and wide; who wouldn’t want them? Being on such advantageous ground, wouldn’t it be foolish not to try to seize the moon? The person before is the Hall Master of Qianjin Hall, the legendary shining money tree. How could I not shake it with all my might?"

’Once entering Hidden Stream, one cannot stay outside for too long in this life. Where would you get the spirit stones to buy trick tools?’ The wares from Qianjin Hall are typically priced in the millions of spirit stones, this little demon girl staying within the Ba Snake Mountain Range, where could she get so much money?’

She said with a smile, "That’s my business. If Qianjin Hall releases new products, please inform . Whether I can afford them, you will naturally find out. I only want the right to know first, not too much, right?" She had long realized the importance of equipnt; her own attire alone was worth tens of millions of spirit stones. The trick tools from Qianjin Hall were either unimaginably unique or trendously powerful, how could she possibly pass them up?

He looked her over several tis, intrigued, and finally said, "Not excessive."

"My conditions are all presented," she quickly added, "By the way, if it’s not too troubleso, could you tell what you really intended to do by coming to Hidden Stream this ti?"

"What to do?" Mr. Gongshu wondered, "I just ca to inquire about Duanmu Yan, what else could I be doing?"

"It’s only been a few days since the incident with Duanmu Yan, and you are already here. It seems clear you were headed in this direction all along." Ning Xiaoxian laughed, "Never mind, I won’t ask further. Mr. Gongshu, I hope for a pleasant cooperation in the future!"

He nodded, handed her a storage bag, then watched the young girl courteously curtsy before turning away. But before her figure disappeared into the darkness, she suddenly stopped and said, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, the Spectrum Mirror from Qianjin Hall’s branch in Desert City was taken by . However, it is currently in the hands of Second Young Master Miluo from Fengtian Prefecture, if you want it, you’ll have to go to him to get it back."

Mr. Gongshu’s gaze slightly hardened, then he smiled, noncommittal.

The next day, she heard the news that the Hall Master of Qianjin Hall had already left the Ba Snake Mountain Range.

"These damned fools, actually tying an old man up in this forest, not considering if I had really committed the act, would I stay here waiting for Hidden Stream to capture ? Such stupid brains, deserve their Immortal Plant Garden being bombed!" There was a man sitting in Ning Xiaoxian’s tower, cursing loudly. The curses echoed far and wide, not knowing how many demons heard but without any response.

Although the Hall Master of Qianjin Hall had assured that the buyers of the explosive poison were not from the Hidden Stream, the Stream still tightly monitored the Pill Masters and the demon children in the following days. And one person also fell into misfortune—Alchemy Master Xu Nongyou.

Among the guests at the Dragon Elephant Fruit Tree ceremony three days ago, only he stayed to help Hidden Stream reformulate two ancient elixir recipes. An incident sohow occurred within the sect, and as an outsider, he was naturally more suspect than Ning Xiaoxian. But a person’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow. Xu Nongyou was renowned in the Alchemy Dao, and Hidden Stream was famous for producing spiritual dicines. Before the investigation was thoroughly concluded, Hidden Stream dared not lay a finger on him, but they also couldn’t let him leave as he wished.

So at the mont, Xu Nongyou was essentially under house arrest in the Bashe Forest. Fortunately, Hidden Stream treated him quite leniently; as long as he did not leave the forest or enter the Immortal Plant Garden, he could do whatever he wished. After much deliberation, he took a liking to the girl’s cooking and temperant, and shalessly ca here to Ning Xiaoxian’s place to enjoy food and drink.

Ning Xiaoxian didn’t stop him from drinking and cursing but sat beside him, smiling, until he beca thirsty from cursing and she handed him so tea, saying, "Here, moisten your throat." Xu Nongyou took a sip of the Spiritual Tea, gratifyingly narrowed his eyes, and sighed, "If only these blockheads of Hidden Stream could be as sharp and adaptable as you."
