199 Hope You Are Well (1/2)

\”A hundred spirit stones, but that mid Primal Core adept produced it so readily,\” said Zhu Liancheng.

\”A hundred spirit stones?\” Li Pingzhi's nostrils flared. Even though he was the second elder of the Xuanyin Sect, he only earned 96 spirit stones a year from the Xuanyin Sect, not even a hundred. That mid Primal Core adept was able to give someone a hundred spirit stones without a second thought, just to buy a suspected Dharma spirit weapon?

\”That broken dagger, the early Primal Core adept used his Samadhi fire of the third level to burn it in front of everyone, but it was not only unable to melt the dagger, but the dagger did not even get hot,\” continued Zhu Liancheng. \”Furthermore, on the dagger there are many carvings and inscriptions... this made it rather similar to the spirit weapon we have here in the sect.\”

\”That mid Primal Core adept cannot be a fool,\” said Li Pingzhi after some silence. \”That broken dagger must have been a Dharma spirit weapon, no doubt about it. You go and make a trip to buy the broken dagger from him... he bought it with a hundred spirit stones, so offer him a hundred and ten spirit stones. I believe he will show the Xuanyin Sect some respect.\” With a wave of his hand, Li Pingzhi produced a hundred and ten spirit stones and sent them to Zhu Liancheng. His tone was confident.

Xuanyin Sect was one of the five premier sects in the Ziyun planet. This was exactly the source of his confidence that the young man would pay them some respect.

\”Yes, Senior.\” Zhu Liancheng backed off and left the Xuanyin Sect to Xuanyan City, straight to the doorstep of Zhou Donghuang.

It came without question that Zhu Liancheng was rejected immediately.

\”Sir, my senior is the second elder of the Xuanyin Sect, Li Pingzhi... he is the one who wants to buy your weapon.\” Zhu Liancheng looked at the young man in white as he spoke quietly.

\”Not for sale,\” answered Zhou Donghuang flatly.

\”My elder senior is one of the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect,\” said Zhu Liancheng as his voice got even deeper.

\”Oh?\” Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed. \”Zhong Ya?\”

\”At least you know something, you know my elder senior's name. That's right, he is Qi Ming, Zhong Ya's brother,\” declared Zhu Liancheng proudly.

Zhu Liancheng had thought that once he mentioned his elder senior, the young man would show some respect to the Golden Essence elder of the Xuanyin Sect.

He did not expect to be rejected once again. This man was not giving him any respect at all.

\”Sir, are you disrespecting our two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect? Are you not showing the Xuanyin Sect some respect?\” Zhu Liancheng's expression darkened.

\”Chen Dandan, Zhong Ya... we will meet soon.\” After Zhu Liancheng had left, a playful smile rose on Zhou Donghuang's lips.

Three years ago, when Zhong Ya had taken Chen Dandan away, Zhou Donghuang had reminded him that once he did so, would be going against him. Zhong Ya ultimately still took Chen Dandan away. That was how he had begun this feud. This time, Zhou Donghuang had come to Ziyun grand banquet in order to end this unfinished business in front of everyone in this planet.

\”Damn! Damn it! That rascal did not show us any respect at all!\” Zhu Liancheng left the guest inn and returned to the Xuanyin Sect, his expression extremely nasty.

\”No respect at all? Did you mention me?\” The second elder of the Xuanyin Sect, Li Pingzhi's expression was equally nasty.

\”I not only mentioned you, but even our two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect... but he still did not show us any respect at all,\” answered Zhu Liancheng furiously. \”Finally, I brought up the Xuanyin Sect, and he not only did not budge, he even told me to scram! Senior, why don't you personally go and take the dagger from him? If he is not willing, then you can just kill him!\” Zhu Liancheng had a murderous glint in his eyes.

\”The grand banquet is in ten days. Before we are clear of this young man's background and details, we must not be rash... after all, the Xuanyin Sect is the host of this grand banquet.\”

Li Pingzhi was furious, but he had not lost his rationality. \”I will look for your elder senior and ask him to send someone to watch that young man. After the grand banquet is over, if he still does not know his place, we can then take it from him by force!\” With that, Li Pingzhi looked for his senior, Qi Ming, who was one of the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect.

Qi Ming was also the Distinguished Elder of the Xuanyin Sect. The Xuanyin Sect had two Distinguished Elders, who were the two Golden Essence elders, Qi Ming and Zhong Ya.
