508 Negotiation (1/2)
Mo Wen was indifferent to this miraculous recovery as he already knew the efficacy of the Heart Nourishing Pill. The medicine which the Intentionless Sect had traded with the Huatian Palace might be the lowest level panacea, so it was not easy to make it into such an effective treatment.
”In about three to four days, Old Grandfather Chen will recover fully,” Mo Wen said with certainty, after carefully examining Chen Wuhui's recuperating condition. Mo Wen had said he would be able to cure the old man in a week but in actual fact he didn't need that long.
Chen Zikuang gasped in shock once again. It was unbelievable that such a serious condition could be recovered from fully in three to four days! Delight flashed in his eyes. This was simply way better than his expected duration of a week! Originally, he was worried that Mo Wen would find it difficult to cure Old Grandfather Chen in a week, but now it seemed like he had really underestimated the youngster.
Mo Wen and Chen Zikuang walked out of the resting chamber so as not to disturb Old Grandfather Chen. He needed a quiet environment as he recuperated.
As they walked out of the resting chamber, Chen Zikuang pulled on Mo Wen's sleeve, a strange expression on his face. ”Mo Wen, that… do you still have that pill?”
Mo Wen looked askance at Chen Zikuang. ”What about it?”
”That... he he,” Chen Zikaung said with a faint laugh. ”Can you give me another one? Coincidentally, I suffered a little injury yesterday during our big fight with the Sacred Flame Sect. Now I need some treatment.” He rubbed his hand.
Of course, he wasn't asking for the pill for his slight injury. He was indeed injured, but he couldn't bear to use such a good pill for a minor ailment. He could see straight away that Mo Wen's pill was extraordinary. If he could keep one at hand, it might save his life in the future.”You mean the Heart Nourishing Pill? That is very precious.” Mo Wen curled his lips.
”You name the price straight away.” Chen Zikuang saw Mo Wen's reaction and knew what he was going to say so he made his offer, gnashing his teeth.
”Deputy Sect Leader Chen is indeed straightforward and open. My Heart Nourishing Pill is a rare top-notch healing panacea. In fact, it is the only one in this heaven and earth.” Mo Wen wasn't afraid to brag and boast about his pill. After blowing his own trumpet lavishly, he continued, saying, ”This kind of precious panacea is highly valuable. There isn't even a market for it as it can't be purchased anywhere. However, as we have a good relationship, I will sell you one. I won't ask for much, just thirty Spiritual stones.” Mo Wen stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Chen Zikuang.
”What? Thirty Spiritual stones? Why don't you just rob me!” Chen Zikuang reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He jumped up immediately. He really suspected that the Intentionless Sect would be bankrupt if Mo Wen was to stay around for another few days.
”This pill is a lifesaving thing. Does Deputy Sect Leader Chen think that your life is not worth thirty Spiritual stones?” Mo Wen stood with his hand behind his back. Looking like all he wanted to do was take care of Chen Zikaung, he said, ”Only for you. If it is for anyone else, I won't even sell it.”
”Alright, it will be thirty Spiritual stones then.” Chen Zikuang laughed bitterly. If this panacea wasn't so miraculous, he wouldn't be willing to pay thirty Spiritual stones for it.
”Collection of goods upon payment. Deputy Sect Leader Chen, don't forget that you still owe me fifty Spiritual stones for the consultation fee.” Mo Wen grinned as he reminded Chen Zikuang what he was owed.
Chen Zikuang's heart was bleeding and aching. Eighty Spiritual stones were equivalent to the Intentionless Sect's income for half a year.
Both of them walked into the Mindfulness Hall. The Mindfulness Hall was the foundation of the Snow Storm Stratagem and was the Intentionless Sect's place for the fight against the Sacred Flame Sect. In the hall, there would be Intentionless Sect's elders constantly guarding and controlling every movement of the Snow Storm Stratagem.
For the past two days, the Sacred Flame Sect's attacks were getting stronger and more frequent. There were quite a few elders in the hall who were as white as a sheet so they were obviously injured. Even if they were not injured, they looked completely exhausted and were obviously in a bad condition.
In the Intentionless Sect, there were originally eighteen elders. Two of them had died recently in the Tan Zi Beasts' Lair and two had been killed in the Sacred Flame Sect's siege while another five elders of the Intentionless Sect were outside their compound. The Sacred Flame Sect had sealed the inner city so they were unable to return to the Sect. Therefore, there were merely nine elders including Chen Zikuang left in the Intentionless Sect, but there were only ten martial arts practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm in the entire sect.
As for the Sacred Flame Sect, they had almost sent out all their people. Right now, there was a gathering of experts in the Golden Elixir realm in the outer city. It was thought that there was about twenty of them.
Even though the Intentionless Sect had the Snow Storm Stratagem, a stratagem of the Immortal Cultivation world, it was still a very difficult thing to obstruct the Sacred Flame Sect.
”For some unknown reason, the Sacred Flame Sect seem to be getting more impatient.” Chen Zikuang sat on the main seat as he sighed softly.
The reason why he was injured yesterday was greatly related to the increased strength of the Sacred Flame Sect. Yesterday, not only had the Sacred Flame Sect's Deputy Sect Leader attacked but the Sect Leader, Zhu Lanhuo also attacked. Although they didn't put in all their might, they nearly broke down the Intentionless Sect's defense line.
