At the door, there were two disciples in black standing guard. Their figures were straight and their faces were solemn.
Their auras were very strong. They were at the peak of their cultivation.
Wutian understood from the book that after becoming a core disciple, they would have to do things for the sect. For example, guarding the sect, guarding the important places, and maintaining order.
Of course, they could not guard for a long time to avoid delaying their cultivation. So basically, they would change once a month and take turns.
They did not do it for free. Every time they did it, they could get a lot of merits. So, those who were not strong enough would usually choose this. There was no danger.
Wutian held Shi Shi's little hand and walked up the stone stairs. The two of them glanced at him and then looked away.
What good things could a nominal disciple have?
There was a touch of disdain in their eyes. They hid it very well, but Wutian caught it. He did not say anything and walked past the two and stepped into the door.
The hall was very big. It had a radius of five hundred feet. There were several wooden chairs on both sides of the door. There was a long cabinet in the innermost area. It was about ten feet long. Other than that, there was nothing else.
The walls were painted with lime paint. There were traces of weathering. It was obvious that it had not been renovated for a long time. Moreover, there were no decorations. It was clean and simple.
In the hall, there were already many disciples in different colored robes. They were gathered together and discussing. The topic was nothing more than what they had gained and what they had hunted yesterday.
Behind the long cabinet, there was a stooped old man. He was dressed in linen clothes. His white hair was messy and his snow-white beard fell to his chest. He was skinny and his old face was dry like a corpse. His turbid eyes were slightly squinted as he looked at the item in his hand.
In front of the long cabinet, dozens of people were waiting in line and whispering to each other.
"Brother, I told you to come earlier but you didn't want to. Look, there are so many people waiting in line. How long do we have to wait!" The little girl complained.
Wutian smiled and said, "It's okay. Go sit at the side. Brother will go now."
"Then you have to hurry up!"
The little girl showed two little dimples. She skipped to the seat and looked around curiously.
Wutian had just stood in line when the person in front of him turned around and asked, "Brother, what are you here for?"
This person was about twenty years old. He was dressed in a red robe and had a fat head and big ears. He looked like he had been pregnant for ten months. His belly was round and bulging, and his face was full of fat. His eyes were narrowed into slits, and two eyeballs were rolling around inside.
Wutian was stunned. At first glance, this fatty gave him a very familiar feeling. He had a big belly and shifty eyes, but in his memory, he had never seen him before.
"Exchange for some demonic beasts."
"What kind of demonic beast is it? How much essence is it worth? Can you show it to me? If it's an ancient remnant, I can buy it for you with double the merit points." The fatty's eyes lit up.
Wutian was stunned. That gaze was really familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
The fatty thought that Wutian was dissatisfied with the price. He said, "Brother, I, Shan Youde, am definitely a top-notch person. I have never cheated you nominal disciples. My price is fair. If you don't believe me, you can ask around."
"Shan Youde, don't try to trick the new disciples. Be careful not to let the Elder know. You won't be able to bear the consequences!" The one who spoke was also a youth in a red robe.
"Shan Youde?" Wutian was stunned. A person with such a nickname shouldn't be as good as he said on the surface.
Shan Youde glared at the red-robed youth with dissatisfaction and emphasized, "Wu Feng, my name is Shan Youde. Also, when have I ever cheated the other disciples? Evidence, take out the evidence and let the facts speak for themselves."
"You want evidence? Who in the sect doesn't know your background? Don't puff yourself up at your own cost. " The red-robed youth, Wu Feng, said disdainfully. Then, he slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot. You are originally a fatty, a wicked pig."
"Haha!"
The few people beside the youth also laughed. A big man said, "Shan Youde, if you don't restrain yourself, the Elder won't let you off so easily like last time. I'm afraid that he will directly send you to the center of the Jadewave Forest. At that time, even if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin."
"Yeah, Shan Youde, you really need to change your behavior. Not to mention, he is only a nominal disciple. What good things can he have?"
Shan Youde hurriedly explained, "Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. They are just envious of my pure heart. How about it? Take it out and let me see it. Don't worry, I will definitely give you twice the price."
Wutian was expressionless as he shook his head.
"Brother, seeing that your Celestial Court is full and sturdy, you must have extraordinary talent. In the future, it will be easy for you to become a core disciple. As long as you can let me see what kind of demonic beast it is, I will definitely take good care of you in the future."
"Hmm?"
Why did these words sound so familiar? Wutian searched through his memory for all the people he had met before. Suddenly, his expression became extremely strange as he sized up this person seriously.
He suddenly said, "Unscrupulous Taoist."
"Hmm!" The fatty replied without thinking. Then, he squinted his eyes and looked around. Puzzled, he asked, "Brother, what are you talking about? How can there be a Taoist here? "
His acting was very convincing. Those who did not know would definitely believe him. But Wutian had already judged from his first reaction that this fatty was the Unscrupulous Taoist that he had met in Iron Stone Town.
It was really a case of traveling far and wide in search of something, only to find it by sheer luck. To think that he would meet him in the Yan Sect, and he was a core disciple at that.
Then, he must have swallowed the Illusion Grass and pretended to be an ordinary person to cheat others.
He was puzzled again. Since Shan Youde was a core disciple, there was no reason that he did not know the significance of the God's Left Hand. But why did he sell it?
Wutian did not know. Shan Youde indeed did not know the value of the God's Left Hand. Back then, he had bought it from an in-name disciple for 100 Profound Qi. That in-name disciple did not know either. Moreover, 100 Profound Qi was a considerable amount of wealth for an in-name disciple. Thus, he had agreed without any hesitation.
Thus, Shan Youde changed his appearance and went to Iron Stone Town to try his luck. Furthermore, to enhance the uniqueness of the glove, he had purposely placed a Illusion Grass to see if any idiot would take the bait. Unexpectedly, there was really an idiot who did not even negotiate the price and directly bought it for 1000 Profound Qi.
Until now, he was still secretly happy.
If he knew that the glove was the legendary God's Left Hand, would he still be so happy? He might even want to bang his head against a wall.
Wutian did not feel grateful. Instead, he wanted to beat up this swindler. If he had not followed him back then, he would not have entered the Sky Scorpion Ridge and would not have provoked the terrifying existence of the Desolate Sky Scorpion.
"Brother, don't be in a daze. What's going on? Say something!" Shan Youde urged after not seeing Wutian speak for a long time.
Wutian shook his head. His meaning was obvious.
Shan Youde saw this and was incomparably disappointed. He glared fiercely at the youth and the others. He was so angry that his face turned red and his fat jiggled. I asked for your help, not for you to expose me. It was so difficult to meet an idiot, but he ruined it just like that.
How could he know that it had nothing to do with the youth and the others? It was all because of himself.
Even if he was not an unscrupulous Taoist, Wutian would not have made a deal with him. It would be strange if someone with such a bad reputation had a good character.
"Since I've met him, don't even think about running away." Wutian thought to himself. The God's Left Hand was of great importance. He had to think of a way to get it.
Then, he thought of Han Tian. If he knew that the unscrupulous Taoist was Shan Youde, who knew what he would do?
"It can't be. This is an ancient remnant. You only exchanged it for ten merits. Elder Wan, are you trying to fool your disciple?"
A crisp voice suddenly sounded in front of him. The one who spoke was a girl in green. Her long hair draped over her shoulders. She was petite and petite. She was an inner disciple. Clearly, she was dissatisfied with the old man's reward.
The old man was not angry. He said indifferently, "This is indeed an ancient remnant. However, it's only a tooth and has no value. If not for the fact that you're a disciple of the sect, I wouldn't have accepted it."
Hearing this, the girl's face turned ugly. Although it was only a tooth, she had paid a huge price to obtain it. She did not expect that it would only be exchanged for ten merits.
"Hmph!" She snorted and turned around. Lowering her head, she walked towards the door angrily. She did not notice that a young man in black was striding towards her.
"Bang!"
"Aiyo, that bastard …"
The girl was already in a bad mood. With this collision, she fell to the ground. Her anger exploded and she cursed. However, when she saw who it was, she stopped abruptly.
"Senior Brother Yu, I'm … sorry …" As if she was extremely afraid of the person in front of her, her body trembled. She stuttered for a long time before she finished her sentence.
The young man was tall and strong. He had a dignified appearance and held a folding fan in his hand. Coupled with his neat and smooth black hair, this person looked elegant and handsome.
With a smile on his face, he walked up to the girl and helped her up. He asked with concern, "Junior Sister, are you hurt?"
"No … I'm …"
The girl gently pushed his hand away and left in a hurry without looking back.
The young man in black turned around and looked at her graceful back. A strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes. It gave off the feeling of a chick meeting a weasel. It was extremely strange.
He turned around and looked at the people in the queue with ridicule. He walked straight to the counter.
"Senior Brother Yu, please …" A core disciple who was about to take out an item to trade hurriedly stepped aside.
Wutian's eyes flickered. From the way the young man looked at the girl in green, he could see a trace of lust. This person was definitely not as simple as he looked on the surface.
"Brother, if you have any sisters in the future, you must hide them well. Don't let Young Master Yu see them. Otherwise, you won't be able to protect your chastity." Shan Youde whispered.
Wutian was stunned. Why was this damn fatty so kind?
As expected, he immediately revealed his intentions. He smiled and said, "Brother, I have some connections in the sect. As long as you give me some benefits, I can guarantee your sisters' safety."
"I don't have any sisters!" Wutian shook his head. A dog can't change its habit. At this moment, he deeply understood the saying.
"It's good to be a true disciple and a direct disciple. They have priority in everything they do. If I can reach this step one day, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life."
"The sect master is really biased. He always favors the true disciples and direct disciples. Most of the resources are given to them. He doesn't even think about us."
The young man in red and the others whispered to each other.
