Chapter 207: Fu Mo (1/2)
In the central continent where the main branch of the Demonic Sword Sect was located, a young man could be seen looking at the spectacular array of notices in the place.
There were thousands of them if not more. Big and small. It seemed that these important and urgent demands became the primary focus of the sect today.
This has indeed been the talk of the disciples for a whole week now and the hype was only getting even more stronger with each passing day.
”I wonder what Overlord Gu is thinking by asking for these kinds of things?” The young man asked himself.
Even if he was only walking down the common areas of the Demonic Sword Sect, he could still hear what everyone was whispering all around him.
”HAHAHA! I molded a rotten cauldron using only clay, mud and dirt and yet the Treasury Pavilion bought it for 1 fucking thousand spirit stones! What has this world gone to?!”
An unknown disciple could be heard bragging to his peers.
”That's a neat trick, Bam Eh! I painted an ugly tree and called it a masterpiece and I got 5 thousand spirit stones for my hassle! HAHAHA!” Another disciple said to the first one.
The two seemed careless in their act but continued to do this showboating with no fear of any repercussions at all.
If one would take the time to listen, it could be easily known that similar instances like this one have been rampant for days already.
The Elders of the Demonic Sword Sect did not seem to care at all which only accelerated the spread of the news.
Only a True Immortal could tell that this scenario was not only happening in this xianxia world but in the entire universe at that.
A sphere of countless worlds combined that disseminated this weird demand for anything and everything under the sun. This was truly a very strange yet exciting time to live in.
Many become rich for nothing and the request for such curious things still continued to spread.
This may have been an act of genius, kindness, or insanity but the people could not care less about it at all.
They run around and created nonsense to sell but they soon noticed that the more ancient, exotic, or unknown the items they bring, the hefty the price that they will get for their products.
Thus, the wiser ones dug the land and explored the seas for better finds. Some brave souls even went on an expedition to go on the greatest treasure hunt of their lives.
”Perhaps I could also gain a better sell for this item. But even if it doesn't get me much in return, at least i could give my share in helping the endeavors of Overlord Gu.”
The young man from the start of the story muttered unto himself. He walked and was pretty sure of his steps.
A personality as dignified as his was absolutely too delicate to attempt any blunders at all. At least the young man was well aware of what he represented in the Demonic Sword Sect.
In time, the young man arrived in the Treasure Pavilion.
”Master Fu Mo! Welcome! Welcome! Please come inside!” A lovely woman greeted with haste that she almost stumbled in her act.
She bowed low and deep and did such motions over and over again. It did not need saying that she was obviously panicking at this point. Who was Master Fu Mo?!
This was a rare prodigy that has already reached the cultivation of Aspirant Realm in less than one hundred years!
His tale was legendary especially because he started as a trash cultivator that was met with misfortune and sneered at everywhere he stepped upon.
Luckily enough, his destiny changed when he had a fortuitous encounter with Overlord Gu. The mighty leader of this xianxia world saw promise in Master Fu Mo and the rest was history.
Alas, this was only the information that normal cultivators could get their hands on but the truth was a lot more banal than that.
'Overlord Gu really possessed a great eye for uncovering talents! Master Fu Mo is so handsome too!' The lovely woman could not help but blush in place.
'Relax. I'm just here to do some business. I want to sell this clay brick. I found this in my youth and has been with me ever since.
I thought that this has brought me luck and I always loved to think that it did already.
Now I wanted to give this gift to Overlord Gu and I hope that it would also bring her the fortune that I had experienced in her care.”
Master Fu Mo did not anymore waste time and went directly to the point.
”You are really a great man, Master Fu Mo! Overlord Gu is certainly lucky to have you as her disciple! Please come with me. The Head Appraiser is inside already.”
The lovely woman of the Treasure Pavilion beckoned and she led Master Fu Mo with her hips seductively swinging from left to right and back again.
”I can't say that i won't miss my clay brick.” Master Fu Mo sighed after the transaction was over.
He got one hundred thousand spirit stones for his clay brick but such a number of resources were already too little and too lacking for Master Fu Mo to use.
Nonetheless, he felt better because of the good will that he wanted to impart unto his benefactor.
'I wonder when can I see Young Master Clark in my lifetime?' Master Fu Mo thought for a moment before he began walking in slow measured steps back into his cultivation cave.
The world may not know it but this young man was the youth that had captured the moment some one hundred years in the past.
