Chapter 51: Immortals Teaching Is Only As Good As This (1) (2/2)

Currently, this King Physique paste was promised to Li Qiye, and it was a matter that was agreed on by the first elder; the other four elders weren’t in a position to say anything. Cao Xiong’s heart was in pain, because he had previously thought that this King Physique paste would be given to his disciple, Leng s.h.i.+zhi, in the future for his second body molding.

“However, Li Qiye requires the leading beast marrow of this King Physique paste to change to a h.e.l.l Iron Bull’s beast marrow.”

The first elder said with a deep tone.

These words had just came out, but the expressions of the four elders couldn’t help but become alarmed; Elder Qian startledly reasoned: “Older brother, the h.e.l.l Iron Bull, this is an extremely rare Heavenly Beast; everyone knows that the beast marrow of a h.e.l.l Iron Bull’s price on the market is as high as the sky! The beast marrow meant for a King Physique paste, this rank of beast marrow, even at its lowest, would have to be one hundred thousand years old. I’m afraid that this price would frighten people!”

The first elder gently nodded his head, and he said: “I had contacted the auction house; they actually had a h.e.l.l Iron Bull’s beast marrow, still young, a little more than nine thousand years; this could be considered ten thousand. They were willing to swap the bone marrows with us; however, we have to add one thousand pieces of Ancient Sacred Refined Jade.”

“One thousand pieces of Ancient Sacred Refined Jade?” Having heard this, the fifth elder, named Zhou, his expression greatly soured, and he said: “This is the lion opening its mouth; with one thousand pieces of Ancient Sacred Refined Jade, we could buy the beast marrow! Two hundred thousand years!”

“Older brother, this Li Qiye, this is giving him an inch and he’ll want a mile.” Cao Xiong grasped this rare opportunity, and he seriously said: “The great matter of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, it is not his place to bargain. He is only a third generation disciple, yet he still dares to propose conditions with us. This whole thing is not showing us any respect! He is being too presumptuous.”

The first elder’s expression changed after hearing these words. Cao Xiong continued speaking to the four other elders: “Dear brothers, we are all aware that the King Physique paste is precious. This King Physique paste was meant for the third generation disciple, and this was already a great blessing from our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. That ungrateful thing still dared to haggle…

“Besides, the origin of Li Qiye’s ident.i.ty is still in question; one could say that he might be a spy! We’re giving a priceless King Physique paste to a traitor, is this not throwing meat buns to beat a dog? If we add one thousand pieces of Ancient Sacred Refined Jade, on top of that, then our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect would suffer a heavy loss; who was to say, in the future, that Li Qiye won’t defect against us after receiving all of our benefits?” [1]

This was an opportunity that was rare for Cao Xiong; he strongly tried to convince the other four elders, and he naturally wouldn’t want Li Qiye to obtain this King Physique paste.

Elder Wu, ranked sixth within the elders, couldn’t help but to try and convince the first elder: “Older brother, our granting him the King Physique paste is already a great benefaction from our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect; Li Qiye, as a third generation disciple, he needs to be aware of this! Moreover, older brother is clear on this; in our sect, the remaining Ancient Sacred Refined Jade isn’t much. If, this time, we spend another one thousand pieces, this is not different from emptying our storage; this isn’t a trivial matter, ah, older brother.”

The other elders couldn’t help but to stare at the first elder; even though they didn’t say anything, their perspectives were obvious. Seeing this scene, Cao Xiong was secretly ecstatic. He thought that this matter was half completed; in just a moment, he will fan the fire again. Maybe Li Qiye wouldn’t even get the King Physique paste.

“One thousand pieces of Ancient Sacred Refined Jade, this is not worth it.” The third elder also voiced his opinion.

It was undeniable that the four elders were truly respectful towards the first elder. The first elder, in their minds, had an extremely high status, and he couldn’t be shaken by other people.

However, in recent years the situation had changed. Until now, the elders had all hoped that the first elder would take over the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. In their hearts, they rejected the current sect master, Su Yonghuang! Their ideal sect master was the first elder.

However, with regards to the sect master’s seat, the first elder had never revealed his ambition. As time pa.s.sed, the other elders couldn’t help but become disappointed. Especially in recent years, the first elder appeared to be disheartened, and he no longer had the courageous aura of the early years; this greatly shook the other elder’s hearts.

On the contrary, Second Elder Cao Xiong had never given up on the sect master’s seat. Cao Xiong was too close to Guest Adviser Dong Shenglong; in the elder’s hearts, Cao Xiong was not an ideal Sect Master; however, in the future, if they really had to choose between Cao Xiong and Su Yonghuang, they couldn’t help but hesitate.

Especially in recent times, when Cao Xiong had repeatedly suggested his intention to become Sect Master, making the elder’s hearts more or less jolted inside.

Today, when First Elder brought this up, Cao Xiong pointed out the important intricacies within, making the four elders rethink their thoughts.

Just when Cao Xiong was reaching his opportunity, the first elder suddenly flashed his soaring eyes. In a split second, the first elder’s aura greatly pressured others; his whole body exerted and exuded rays of brilliance. At this moment, it was as if the first elder became a different person; his heavenly form flew upward to the sky. With Dao finger incantations in front of his chest, he was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with imposing power! Inside this power was a faint presence of a Royal n.o.ble’s pressure.

The first elder, in the end, was a person that could be bestowed the Named Hero t.i.tle. Within the Six Elders, he had been in the sect the longest, and he also had the deepest cultivation. He, suddenly exerting his pressure, caused the other elders to be shocked, and they felt the suppressing atmosphere.

At this time, the first elder slowly opened his mouth, and he said: “Brothers’ oppositions make sense, but brothers must also know the grand circ.u.mstance ahead; the Nine Saint Demon Gate, to our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, is extremely vital! Li Qiye, to our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, is just as vital! Without him, there will be no Nine Saint Demon Gate! This is why, regarding this matter, I summoned brothers here hoping that brothers would approve this matter!”
