The village chief looked very young and his cultivation wasn't high. After a rough assessment, the two brothers immediately knew that he was at the peak late Golden Core stage.
"Village chief, a senior has come to buy holy water!" Tiger Li waved at the village chief at the door.
The village chief immediately trotted over with a shoulder pole on his shoulder. There were two heavy wooden buckets in front and behind the pole, and both Old Antique and Taoist Taotie were very familiar with the aura in the buckets, so they were sure that they contained holy water.
"I never thought that someone would actually come specially to buy holy water."
Seeing Old Antique and Taoist Taotie, the village chief couldn't help smiling. "Come with me."
Then, the village head picked up his shoulder pole again. After casually instructing Tiger Li to go help the deputy village head, he headed back to his house. Old Antique and the other man followed closely behind, and it wasn't long before they arrived at the village head's house.
Standing in front of the village chief's door, the two brothers' lips twitched again.
This was actually a small villa full of a modern atmosphere, which was completely out of place with the rest of the village's decor. Furthermore, the spirit power inside was very weak, much weaker than at Tiger Li's house. The most important thing was that this villa actually had modern furniture: a fridge, a TV, a washing machine, a microwave …
"What's your name?"
"My name is Huang Sheng. You can call me Village Chief Huang. Deputy village chief Jiang Huang One. We were the ones who discovered the holy water back then. " Speaking up to this point, Village Chief Huang's face was full of pride. "I exchanged the holy water for the building materials and furniture of this villa."
"Exchange?"
"Although the two of you are extremely powerful, it seems that you don't know much about the structure of the demon world inside the Gate Between Worlds. Of course, there are places in the demon world that are down and out, but there are also bustling cities that aren't inferior to those of us human cultivators in the outside world. The furniture here was exchanged with me by some demon kings. "
Village Chief Huang smiled and said, "Holy water is something that even Demon Monarchs would fight for. Not only does it work on humans, it also works on demons. "
"According to our human ranking system, demon kings are at least at the Soul Formation stage. As a Golden Core cultivator, aren't you afraid?" Taoist Taotie couldn't help asking.
"Demon monarchs aside, even Demon Immortals are unable to set foot in our village because of the Holy Water Spring. This is a paradise isolated from the Gate Between Worlds. Although the village is a little small, it's actually quite prosperous because of the holy water. "
Village Chief Huang leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, "Seniors, please take a seat."
The two brothers couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths … It was very obvious that this was the attitude of people who had seen the world.
Village Chief Huang might have even made deals with demon gods, let alone demon kings … Otherwise, how could a Golden Core cultivator remain so calm in the face of two Itinerant Immortals like them? It really didn't make sense.
"Our strength is not on the same level. You're just at the Golden Core stage … aren't you afraid that we'll take the holy water by force? "Taoist Taotie stared at the calm Village Chief Huang as he asked.
"You can't do anything to me." Village Chief Huang waved his hand confidently. "The power of the holy water radiates to every corner of this village. Not only can it isolate demon qi, it can also isolate evil intentions. Those with evil intentions won't be able to enter our village. If the two of you really have evil intentions, no matter how high your realms are, you'll immediately turn into stone statues. "
"When Tiger Li brought the two of you into the village, you should have seen that stone stele, right?" Village Chief Huang smiled. "It was a demon king who harbored evil intentions and tried to sneak into our village to steal the holy water. In the end, it was directly petrified by the power of the holy water. I made it into a stone stele and placed it at the entrance of the village as a dividing line from the outside world. There are many more stone steles like this one around the village. "
"…"
Hearing this, the two brothers couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat … Although this was only a one-sided account from Village Chief Huang, they didn't sense that he was lying.
"The two of you have come from afar to specifically come to our village in search of the holy water. May I know what kind of unmentionable illness you have?" Village Chief Huang got right to the point.
After thinking for a while, the two brothers felt that there was nothing to hide. When all was said and done, this was just an exchange of what each of them needed.
"Because we cultivated the wrong cultivation technique back then, my junior brother was disfigured, while I became quite fat. My movements aren't as nimble as before, and I'm very slow …" said Old Antique.
Village Chief Huang nodded, and when he looked at the mask Taoist Taotie was wearing, he suddenly understood. "Mm, I understand. Because the two of you cultivated the wrong cultivation technique, your bodies are suffering from some side effects. It's very simple: each of you will get two buckets of holy water. Take it orally and apply it externally, and you'll be healed in a few days. "
"Will it really work?" Taoist Taotie was a little excited.
"It definitely will." Village Chief Huang nodded with certainty. "You can stay in our village for treatment before you go out. Each of you will get two buckets of holy water. "
"The slightly fatter senior will get one bucket for drinking. The other bucket will be mixed with water to soak in for three days in a row. The senior wearing the mask will also get one bucket for drinking, and the other will be mixed with water to make a face mask. After applying it for three days in a row, he'll be completely healed. "
Saying this, Village Chief Huang took a deep breath, then looked at Old Antique and Taoist Taotie with great interest as he narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. "So, what will the two of you give me in exchange?"
…
…
Three days later, the two brothers were finally cured of the hidden ailment that had plagued them for a hundred years after cultivating the wrong cultivation technique.
Taoist Taotie finally took off his mask and breathed in fresh air, his heart filled with excitement and joy.
At the village gate, Village Chief Huang and Tiger Li saw them off. "Seniors, have a safe journey!"
Looking at Old Antique, who was still slightly plump, Village Chief Huang couldn't help asking with a smile, "Since seniors have already regained their original size, why do you still appear in this form?"
Old Antique couldn't help laughing. "People are already used to seeing me like this … I still have to think about other people. This time, I really have to thank you, village chief. "
Village Chief Huang waved his hand and solemnly cupped his fists in salute. "Seniors, you're too kind. You used a lot of elixirs to exchange for the holy water, and that was an equivalent exchange. This transaction is very meaningful! "
The two brothers cupped their fists in salute. "Very well! Village Chief Huang, we'll take our leave here! "
"Have a safe journey, seniors!"
At the village gate, Village Chief Huang and Tiger Li watched the two of them leave.
Tiger Li: "Village chief, deputy village chief just said that the holy water spring doesn't seem to be producing any more water."
Village Chief Huang nodded. "Mm, don't panic … it'll probably be soon."
