Upon seeing the middle-aged man standing before them, the crowd quickly stood up.
Even though they were the heads of the Six Sects, they were still far from matching up to the middle-aged man standing before them.
The Six Sects were akin to six massive nations, each ruling over their own territories. However, the Ethereal Halls could be found all over the Master Teacher Continent. Wherever there were people, there would be Ethereal Halls and Ethereal Tokens.
Even though the Ethereal Halls did not vie for territory, they were still able to control the entire world.
Not to mention, no one knew how powerful the middle-aged man before them was.
Most cultivators had a limited lifespan, but the middle-aged man before them did not seem to age at all. He had already made a name for himself several thousand years ago, and there was no one in the Master Teacher Continent who did not know of him.
Even though they were already standing at the very peak of the Master Teacher Continent, they still felt respect for him.
"Paying respects to Hall Master Kong!"
The group clasped their fists.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony," the Ethereal Hall master replied with a smile before taking a seat.
"The reason why we have invited you here is to discuss how we should proceed with the once-in-a-century Azure Bridge. Should we continue to abide by our previous agreement or break the rules?"
The old man who was addressed as' Brother Han 'said.
"Indeed. Hall Master, four thousand years ago, you challenged the Azure Bridge alone and defeated the experts of the Hall of Gods. You obtained a single character and founded the Ethereal Hall, so you should have a deep understanding of the Hall of Gods. You're the most suitable person to answer our questions!"
Hall Master Qin said.
"I have entered the Hall of Gods before, but the fearsomeness of it isn't something that can be described with just a few words. The Azure Bridge only appears once every hundred years, but it hasn't succeeded for so many years. It's about time we change the rules a little …"
The Ethereal Hall master chuckled. He was just about to continue speaking when Brother Han flicked his wrist and took out a jade token.
Brother Han lowered his head to take a look, and his eyes lit up.
"What's wrong, Brother Han?" Hall Master Qin asked.
"Someone in the sect reported that a genius has appeared in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion and comprehended the Sword Intent left behind by our founder," Brother Han replied.
"Founder's Sword Intent? Could it be … the Gods' Sword Intent? "
The Ethereal Hall master was taken aback.
"That's right." Brother Han nodded.
"It's said that only gods are able to comprehend and execute the Gods' Sword Intent...... I wonder … what is the name of this disciple of Brother Han's? "
The eyes of the Ethereal Hall's Hall Master gleamed as he looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile.
Brother Han nodded. "That … I'm not too sure either. My subordinates weren't able to find anything, but it seems like the sword intent of our founder is resonating with one another!"
"Oh!" The Ethereal Hall's Hall Master chuckled softly before dropping the topic. "Since such a genius has appeared, there's a need for us to make some changes to the Azure Bridge. However, I'll have to ask Brother Han to find that genius first. Only then will we be able to come up with a better plan!"
"That's true …"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright, that's it then. Let's meet again next time!"
The Ethereal Hall Master replied.
"Yes!"
After coming to an agreement, the crowd quickly left the area. Shortly after Brother Han left, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. It was the Ethereal Hall Master blocking his path.
"Hall Master Kong!"
Brother Han hurriedly clasped his fists.
"Brother Han, there's no need to rush. Those who are able to comprehend the Gods' Sword Intent will surely have a huge impact on the Azure Bridge in the future. I don't know how strong they are at the moment, but as their elder, it's only right for me to offer them some guidance. This is the token that represents my identity. If you manage to find that person, I hope that you can bestow this token to him.
There's no need for him to spend any money on it, "the Ethereal Hall Master said with a smile.
"Thank you, Hall Master Kong!"
Brother Han's eyes lit up.
The Ethereal Hall was located all over the Master Teacher Continent, and this token allowed one to purchase any cultivation advancement items without paying any money.
It could be said that possessing this token was equivalent to possessing the greatest wealth in the world. He would no longer have to worry about his cultivation!
This was truly a huge favor to him!
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. You should know that the purpose of the Ethereal Hall's existence is to make cultivators stronger. Since such a genius has appeared, it's only right for me to help him! "
The Ethereal Hall Master said with a kind smile.
"I've always admired Hall Master Kong's righteousness. If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave first. "
After saying those words, Brother Han turned around and vanished from the spot.
Watching as Brother Han left, the Ethereal Hall Master placed his hands behind his back. It was hard to tell what he was thinking about.
A moment later, the Ethereal Hall Master raised his head and gazed at the sky. It was as if he was talking to someone, but at the same time, he seemed to be muttering to himself, "After so many years, you have finally appeared. Furthermore, you have broken through the spatial barrier and arrived here. Hurry up and appear. I have been waiting for too long …"
Hu!
After saying those words, the Ethereal Hall Master vanished from sight.
If Zhang Xuan were here, he would have been able to recognize that the appearance of the Ethereal Hall Master was identical to that of the Kong Shi that he had met before.
Could it be that Kong Shi had been here ever since he arrived in the Azure several thousand years ago?
If that was the case, why didn't he return to the Master Teacher Continent?
Why wasn't there any news about him at all?
…
Zhang Xuan was oblivious to the happenings in the Elder Council and on the mountain peak. At this moment, he was looking at Cao Chengli intently.
He had sent this fellow to gather some news, but the latter had returned with a swollen face. If not for the surge of Heaven's Path zhenqi that he had bestowed upon him, he might have already died.
"I was just gathering some news. How could this happen?"
Cao Chengli couldn't help but ask.
His previous butler, Sun Qiang, had always been able to complete his tasks. While he was a little unreliable at times, at the very least, he hadn't been beaten up so badly in less than an hour!
"This … I …" Cao Chengli replied awkwardly.
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless by Cao Chengli's explanation.
This fellow was born as a bandit, but he was still as stubborn as ever. He had been gathering information from others, but when he saw a beautiful menial disciple, he had immediately dashed over to flirt with her …
It was already a miracle that he hadn't been beaten to death on the spot.
"Lust is a weapon in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion. This isn't some backwater place like Xuanjiang City …" Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
Wasn't this fellow a little too gutsy?
The menial disciples of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion were all at Great Sage 3-dan at the very minimum. How dare someone of your cultivation try to flirt with them?
If not for others knowing that he was on Dan Xiaotian's side, he would have been dead by now.
"But Young Master … You know how I am. I've been holding myself back for more than ten days now …"
Cao Chengli's face reddened in embarrassment.
The fact that he was able to find seven ladies in a single go back to the brothel showed that he was' very capable '. After becoming a bandit, he had spent his days without a woman … Even though he only found ladies from the brothels willingly, he hadn't been slacking off either.
It had been ten days since he arrived at the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion with the Young Master, so he had been holding himself back for a long time.
He thought that he would be able to seduce one of the ladies with his looks, but who could have thought that he would be beaten up as soon as he opened his mouth?
Seeing how Zhang Xuan was so confident, Zhang Xuan facepalmed.
Dan Xiaotian was right. He shouldn't have accepted this fellow back then …
How embarrassing!
"Shut up! How's the matter that I asked of you coming along?"
"This … Young Master, I've looked into it, and the Ethereal Tokens of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion are sold in the inner disciples' market. Each of them costs around twenty Sword Pavilion Coins!"
Seeing that the Young Master was getting angry, Cao Chengli scratched his head awkwardly.
"Twenty Sword Pavilion Coins?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
It didn't seem like a huge sum, but he wasn't too sure about the actual value of Sword Pavilion Coins.
"How many Sword Pavilion Coins is a Basic Immortal Pill worth?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"This … I haven't looked into it yet," Cao Chengli replied with an awkward smile.
"Where's the market?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"This … I haven't looked into it yet either," Cao Chengli replied with twitching lips.
"What did you look into then?" Zhang Xuan's face turned livid.
"The lady who beat me up earlier is the subordinate of an inner disciple named Liu Lujie. She's 1.7m tall, and her measurements are 85, 74, and 88. Her legs are at least a meter long, and they're slender and fair. More importantly, they're straight … Young Master, I've seen plenty of women, and those are the best legs I've ever seen!"
Cao Chengli's eyes lit up in excitement.
"Enough!"
Zhang Xuan nearly exploded on the spot.
What in the world was this?
He had asked him to look into the matter, but he didn't do anything at all. Instead, he seemed to know a thing or two …
What the heck?
Remember your identity! You're here to cultivate and serve the Young Master, not to flirt with girls!
"Leave now and look for the market for inner disciples. If you can't find it, I'll have you castrated!"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly as he flicked his finger. A surge of sword qi flew out from his fingertip and tore through the air.
"This is …"
Feeling the bone-chilling sword qi circling around his crotch, Cao Chengli's face paled in fright. He quickly clamped his thighs tightly together.
"If you can't find it by tonight, I'll tame a horse and have it rape you!"
Zhang Xuan continued.
Cao Chengli's anus tightened as cold sweat trickled down his back.
His master seemed to be a decent person, but why was he so vicious when he decided to do something?
Taming a horse to rape him?
Just thinking about that night, he couldn't help but think about how that horse knew martial arts and how to serve tea … If it had really tried to rape him, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand it!
He couldn't allow that to happen!
"I'll head over right now!"
Not daring to waste any more words, Cao Chengli turned around and fled.
It didn't take long for Cao Chengli to gather all the information he needed.
"Young Master, the market for inner disciples is located at the foot of this mountain. I've asked around for the price of Basic Immortal Pills, and it's around two Sword Pavilion Coins each!"
Cao Chengli said.
"Two Sword Pavilion Coins for Basic Immortal Pills? And twenty Ethereal Jade Tokens? This … Isn't this a little too huge? "
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
In Starlight City's Ethereal Hall, Basic Immortal Pills were priced at 100,000 Ethereal Coins each, whereas Ethereal Jade Tokens were priced at 20,000 Ethereal Coins each!
But here, the price was only twenty Ethereal Jade Tokens and two Basic Immortal Pills … A difference of ten times!
In other words, the difference in price between Basic Immortal Pills and Basic Immortal Pills was a full fifty times … Was this for real?
"I don't know what's going on either, but that's the price …" Cao Chengli hurriedly explained. At the same time, he clamped his thighs tightly together, fearing that the young master would cut them off for him.
"Bring me to the inner disciples' market. I want to take a look myself!"
Knowing that it was pointless to say so much here, Zhang Xuan stood up and beckoned Cao Chengli over before heading out.
