Chapter 97: Warmly Welcoming the Arrival of the Intelligence Revenue Service Demolition Team

Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy

Two days later, dirty old man and Wu Feihua rushed back to the Dog Ear Mountain with an extremely ugly face.

w.a.n.g Lu’s five hundred spirit stones were, in fact, much more than what was needed for the procurement. Thus, naturally, the remaining portion was to become the two people’s errand fee. Although w.a.n.g Lu didn’t explicitly say it, that was the two people’s thought. By the Director’s astuteness, wouldn’t his intention so obvious when he gave money so generously?

Unfortunately, when the two contacted the nearest merchant, ready to purchase, they were mercilessly slaughtered. The merchant just skimmed through the list and told them his offer: six hundred spirit stones.

This was higher than the budget that w.a.n.g Lu gave them, so how could He Yun agree? However, the opposite party could see through him and thus gave He Yun an ultimatum: if you want to buy it, then buy, if you don’t, then get lost!

How could He Yun not buy? w.a.n.g Lu has given him two days time; if the time was out, he didn’t dare to imagine the consequences. Let alone these pieces of materials were supposed to be worth around three hundred spirit stones, so how could it suddenly be twice of that!?

When he inquired about it, he finally understood. These materials were naturally cheaper in the Mysterious Sky Mansion, but based on their status, they basically couldn’t even pa.s.s the doorstep of the Mysterious Sky Mansion. Therefore, this transaction was basically no different than a black market transaction, so the price was naturally high.

Without no other choice, the two of them had to resort on haggling. Finally, they managed to get a wholesale price of five hundred spirit stones, which, to them, was equal to running a fruitless errand. Initially, they thought they could embezzle a couple of hundred spirit stones from this errand—however, this was normal. The two of them were still on probation for their previous crimes, so how could w.a.n.g Lu kindly give them the opportunity to get rich?

Nevertheless, thinking about the altar establishment, the two of them roused up their spirit. They have worked for the Seven Stars Sect for many years, yet they have not enjoyed the advantage of an altar; but from the procurement of these materials, they knew that their Mr. Director has lofty ambitions to create an exceptional altar.

Although they still couldn’t make out the specific type of the altar to the best of their knowledge, but even if it was just the Ninth Rank Altar, its power definitely far outs.h.i.+nes that of the Seven Stars Sect, that second hand Ward Off Fifth Elements Beings Array! Combined with the relatively rich surrounding spiritual energy in the w.a.n.g Family Village, at least, the altar could definitely condense out over a hundred spirit stones per day—this may not seem like much, but over a year, it would reach tens of thousands, not to mention the condensation of spirit stones was just one of the most common function of the altar.

The only problem was, could this altar really be constructed?

It was not that they looked down on w.a.n.g Lu. In fact, when they first arrived at w.a.n.g Family Village, w.a.n.g Lu had immediately retrieved back his Sword of Mount Kun. In order to further establish his prestige, w.a.n.g Lu told He Yun to attack him. However, even after exhausting all of his low-level Foundation Establishment skills and technique, to the point of seriously having a murderous intention, he couldn’t break through w.a.n.g Lu’s three feet long sword defense.

In the end, the only question was how exactly was w.a.n.g Lu going to achieve this spiritual energy tide?

——

On this bright and cool autumn weather day, there was a fiery scene at the w.a.n.g Family Village. The simple villagers were actually decorating the village with lanterns and so on to welcome the visit of his honorable self, the Daoist Immortal. The villagers also hung a couplet at the entrance of the village; though what they wrote was incomprehensible nonsense, the villagers have undoubtedly shown their enthusiasm for the visit of the Daoist Immortal.

In the midst of this festive atmosphere, the comrades of Intelligence Revenue Service, oh, wrong, Wisdom Sect’s Daoist Immortals descended on the floating clouds.

This time, the entire Wisdom Sect’s team came together. First to descend was the Holy Maiden Feng Ling, then Vice Sect Leader He Yun, Elder Wu Feihua, and lastly, a fatty with ordinary appearance. When w.a.n.g Qinian curiously inquired about it...

Holy Maiden lightly said, “Oh, he’s just the strong man that we’ll use to build the altar.”

The fatty inwardly burst into tears. He was a genuine Spirit Sword Sect’s Inner Court Disciple, yet his status at the Intelligence Revenue Service was even lower than Wu Feihua! Fortunately, this so-called position was basically nonsense, and everything depended on the whim of the Director.

However, w.a.n.g Qinian didn’t dare to disregard this fatty’s great strength. After that, a burst of inquiry about him ensued; the fatty had never experienced this kind of situation. In the past, as the son of the teacher of the state, people sometimes crowded around him, yet he had never been surrounded by the countryside people like this! In desperation, he kept his silence and truly a.s.sumed the image of a strong man.

Along with lines of villagers, the group came to the preset location of the altar—needless to say, w.a.n.g Lu had personally picked this location.

It was the Village Head’s home—this location could be considered as payback to w.a.n.g Qinian for showing up on w.a.n.g Fugui’s house and screaming out streams of abuse a few days ago.

w.a.n.g Qinian himself was still in the dark about this. Seeing the several Daoist Immortals stop in front of his house, he curiously asked. “Excuse me, Daoist Immortals, this is…”

Holy Maiden Feng Ling lightly said, “To construct the altar.”

“... Here?”

Feng Ling nodded. “Yes, this place has good geomancy. So, it will be the best location to construct the altar.”

w.a.n.g Qinian, unable to believe himself, asked, “T-Then what about my house?”

Feng Ling smiled. “Of course, it’s going to be demolished. It’s okay, I’ll get that strong man to construct a new one for you.”

“B-But…” w.a.n.g Qinian stuttered, but before he could finish, he heard the Holy Maiden chuckle.

“Hey, are you unhappy? No problem, we’re just going cancel the construction, dirty old… He Yun, let’s go.”

The several people began to turn around. The anxious w.a.n.g Qinian was thrown off guard. “Daoist Immortals, please don’t go! You can demolish, you can demolish my house!”
