Chapter 1303: A Rundown Courtyard (1/2)
After a while, Zhu Feng left the Infinite Circles Commerce Hall. Not long after he had left, Wang Wei stepped out from the darkness.
Similar to Zhu Feng, Wang Wei was also curious to know why Huang Xiaolong had bought so many herbs, 'Does he want to refine chaos spiritual pills, or is he running an errand for Golden Brow and Blood Knife?'
There was sullenness in his eyes, as he had to applaud Huang Xiaolong's resilient life. Not only had Wang Wei ordered the Void Sky World's Golden Phoenix Pavilion and Yama Gates' disciples to kill Huang Xiaolong, but he had also tasked Ma Family’s disciples in Clear Spirit World to kill him.
Yet, Huang Xiaolong had returned to Fortune Gate unharmed, and his cultivation had actually risen at a startling speed.
“However, I don’t believe that his life will be so resilient in this trip to the sea tribe!”
“Huang Xiaolong, the sea tribe’s Sea God City would be your burial place!” Wang Wei’s figure disappeared, however, his cold voice lingered into the air.
After returning to the accommodation arranged for the Fortune Gate’s group, Huang Xiaolong divided the herbs and other materials in the privacy of his room, before feeding them into the Pill Blending Tower. He replenished ten thousand pieces of grade six spirit stones into the tower’s grand formation. After that he threw the Pill Blending Tower into the Yellow Springs Archdevil’s Treasure space and let it refine the chaos spiritual pills on it’s own.
Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged in the room and started cultivating the Grandmist Parasitic Medium. The four divine fires’ spirits greedily devoured the gray chaos spiritual energy falling from the void.
……
The Fortune Gate’s group stopped and rested occasionally as they traveled onwards. One month later, they arrived at the sea tribes’ Sea God City.
The Sea God City was the sea tribes’ sacred land, and only sea tribes’ prominent families’ core disciples and Ancestor God Realm masters could reside there.
When Huang Xiaolong, Golden Brow Ancestor, and the others arrived at the Sea God City, Grand Elder Guo Shi of the Sea God Temple welcomed them as the Sea God City’s representative. Guo Shi was also the current Guo Family’s Patriarch, and also Guo Jun’s biological father.
The sea tribes’ Sea God Temple had twelve Grand Elders, and they were also the sea tribes’ twelve great families’ current Patriarchs.
Guo Shi was full of smiles when he saw Golden Brow Ancestor, Blood Knife Ancestor, and Zhu Yi as he greeted them, “Welcome Gate Chief Zhu, welcome Senior Golden Brow, and Senior Blood Knife. It is our honor that the two Seniors came to participate in our sea tribes’ God of the Sea Ceremony.”
Zhu Yi smiled in return, “Patriarch Guo is polite. We were obliged to come after receiving the sea tribe’s invitation.”
Golden Brow Ancestor and Blood Knife Ancestor also exchanged perfunctory greetings with Guo Shi.
Guo Shi’s gaze swept over the rest of the Fortune Gate’s group and finally stopped on Huang Xiaolong. He sighed as if in appreciation, “This one here should be Young Warrior Huang, am I right? Indeed a dragon amongst men. According to what I know, Young Warrior Huang has only entered the Fortune Gate for a decade or so, yet he has advanced until the late-Seventh Order Ancient God Realm! I have to say, this kind of talent is only a handful in the entire Divine World.”
Guo Shi went on enthusiastically about Huang Xiaolong, as if he was not able to see Wang Wei or Zhu Feng amongst the group.
“Patriarch Guo is praising me, but my little bit of talent is extremely lacking compared to Patriarch Guo’s son.”
Guo Shi chuckled happily, waving his hand. He then turned to Zhu Yi and said, “That kid is not worthy of any mention compared to Feng Yingying.”
More perfunctory words were exchanged before Guo Shi led the Fortune Gate’s group to their accommodations that were arranged for them.
A short while later, they arrived in front of a remote residence located on one of the most quiet streets in Sea God City.
Huang Xiaolong’s brows wrinkled slightly as he looked at the rundown courtyard in front of them. ‘Is this the accommodation the sea tribes has arranged for them?’
As expected, Guo Shi pointed at the rundown courtyard in front of them as he explained, “My apologies, Gate Chief Zhu. Other residences and courtyards in Sea God City are completely full. Therefore, I hope you won’t mind and will make do with this accommodation.”
Zhu Yi, Golden Brow Ancestor, and Blood Knife Ancestor’s faces turned ugly. Even Wang Wei and Zhu Feng’s anger was obvious from their faces.
The sea tribe had actually arranged such a lousy accommodation for them?! This run down courtyard’s walls were old and crumbly, and it was more of a place that commoners would use.
Were they equivalent to commoners in the sea tribes’ eyes?
