Zhang Xuan really regretted it.
Envoy Liu Xuan had exuded a powerful aura just by looking at her, not to mention that she had come from the headquarters... To Zhang Xuan, every single middle-tier spirit stone was an invaluable treasure. However, to someone like her, they were no different from trash, and she could easily take out several thousand or even tens of thousands of them!
It was a pity that Zhao Ya had left back then, feeling a little guilty and a little arrogant. He didn't want others to think that he was exchanging his students for spirit stones, so he didn't think too much into it.
There was no need for the students to switch … they could still give them pointers!
Under the Heavenly Dao, there were no flaws that could be hidden. It was entirely possible for him to provide guidance in exchange for a certain reward.
With these rewards, their future cultivation paths would be smooth, and they wouldn't have to worry anymore. Even Zheng Yang and the others would be able to obtain the best cultivation conditions …
But the opportunity was missed just like that …
"Forget it, there's no point in worrying about it …"
Knowing that it would be a long time before he could meet an expert of Envoy Liu Xuan's caliber, Zhang Xuan turned to Pavilion Master Kang and asked, "Pavilion master, may I know who in our Myriad Kingdom City has more middle-tier spirit stones?"
"Mid-grade spirit stones?"
Pavilion Master Kang was taken aback for a moment before replying, "Most powerful clans would prepare one or two of these cultivation essentials, but... there aren't many of them. In terms of quantity... only the major sects and powers who are participating in the Master Teacher Tournament will have them!"
"Sects? Forces?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Indeed. The League of Nations is one of the weaker powers of the same tier. As such, the amount of middle-tier spirit stones that can be exchanged from the Miryu Empire is extremely low. On the other hand, the Fleeting Cloud Sect, White Helios Sect, Spiraling Qian Sect … These powers are powerful, and they have half 5-star master teachers guarding them. It's already not bad for me to be able to take out three of them. Their hall master or sect master could easily take out a dozen or even dozens of them! "
Pavilion Master Kang pondered for a moment before saying.
"So many?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
If he could obtain a dozen or twenty of them, he would be able to push for a breakthrough to Transcendent Mortal 3-dan pinnacle easily. With such strength and soul energy, he might even stand a chance against a Transcendent Mortal 5-dan expert.
"Looks like I have to find a chance to plunder from them …"
Stroking his chin, Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
Seeing the other party's expression, Pavilion Master Kang's mouth twitched once more.
That's a big sect. Who knows who they want to plunder? You want to plunder them?
"Cough cough, Zhang Shi is a half 5-star master teacher, and his cultivation has reached Consonant Spirit realm. Furthermore... he isn't on friendly terms with our Myriad Kingdom City..."
Afraid that the other party would get into some trouble that even he couldn't afford to offend, Pavilion Master Kang couldn't help but advise against it.
At the Consonant Spirit realm, one's soul and body would be one, and one's fighting prowess would be several times stronger than that of a Clarifying Turbidity realm cultivator. It was already a blessing that they didn't cause trouble for the Myriad Kingdom City, and yet, you were still coveting their spirit stones... Aren't you just looking for trouble?
"Don't worry, I know what to do!"
Zhang Xuan nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, he started calculating in his heart.
Even though Zhang Xuan's cultivation had soared recently, he knew that he was still a long way off from reaching Consonant Spirit realm.
If he used all of his means, he might still be able to put up a fight against a Consonant Spirit realm primary stage cultivator, but for intermediate stage cultivators, he would have no choice but to flee.
From Pavilion Master Kang's tone, it seemed like there were plenty of middle-stage and advanced stage cultivators in those sects. Zhang Xuan wouldn't be a match for them, but... just because they were weak didn't mean that they couldn't earn some money.
Back then, when he was still in Tianxuan Kingdom, when he was still poor, didn't he manage to convince countless experts to willingly acknowledge him as Yang shi?
"It seems like I'll have to think of a way to earn some middle-tier spirit stones by offering pointers and treating others..."
Zhao Ya's departure had left him feeling pressured once more.
If he was strong enough and had sufficient cultivation resources, he wouldn't have allowed his students to follow others!
In the end, it was all due to his lack of cultivation.
Without sufficient strength, no matter how good one's words were, it was all just an illusion.
Thus, he had to gather middle-tier spirit stones as soon as possible to raise his cultivation.
While Zhang Xuan was planning on how to plunder some spirit stones from the various sects, Sect Leader Luo Huang and the others had already arrived at the Sea Gazing Gazebo.
"Sect Leader Luo, why are you here?"
Before they could enter the gazebo, they heard a surprised exclamation. Turning around, they saw a middle-aged man standing not too far away.
The sect leader of White Helios Sect, Bai Kaizhi.
A Consonant Spirit realm advanced stage expert and a half 5-star master teacher.
"Oh, Sect Leader Bai, you're here as well!" Sect Leader Luo Huang had already guessed that the other party would inform the others. Thus, upon seeing the other party's appearance, Sect Leader Luo Huang chuckled lightly.
"You were the one who informed me?" Seeing the other party's confidence, Sect Leader Bai asked doubtfully.
"Me? I'm not that bored. If I really have Kong Shi's relic, I would have hidden it somewhere. Why would I waste my time talking to you? " Sect Leader Luo Huang shook his head. "I don't know who it is, but let's go in first. Most likely, he didn't just inform the two of us!"
"Un!" Sect Leader Bai was taken aback for a moment before nodding his head. The two of them walked into the gazebo together.
Upon entering, they saw quite a few familiar figures. Of the twenty-seven powers that had come to Myriad Kingdom City, fourteen of them were here!
Furthermore, it seemed like the other party had done their homework. These fourteen powers were all ranked highly.
In other words, of the twenty-seven powers around the League of Nations, fourteen of them had been invited.
Through asking around, Zhang Xuan found that each of them had received a letter with the words' Kong shi's relic 'written on it. As for the rest, none of them knew who the person who had delivered the letter was or what the relic was.
"Could it be that someone is toying with us?" Someone doubted.
"That's impossible. Even though our roots aren't in Myriad Kingdom City, it isn't too difficult for us to find the culprit if we were to be toyed with!"
A sect leader harrumphed. "Unless... he really doesn't want to live anymore!"
Even though they hadn't seen the person who had sent the letter, given how the Tianwu Kingdom's Lin Clan was able to take out a Seeking Mouse, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to track down the other party.
The reason why they didn't do so was because they didn't want to scare the other party away and lose track of Kong Shi's relic.
"Indeed, let's wait and see then!"
Understanding this, the crowd fell silent.
They were all master teachers, and even the weakest among them was a 4-star pinnacle master teacher. They possessed sufficient patience and willpower.
"I was the one who invited you all here!"
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a deep voice to ring out, and a one-armed old man walked over.
Ding Hong didn't conceal his appearance at all. He looked to be in his sixties, and his cultivation was only at Zhizun realm. His complexion was extremely pale, and with a single look, it was clear that he had sustained severe injuries.
Everyone turned their gazes over.
They thought that the other party would at least be a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle cultivator to gather so many of them at once. Yet, it was only a Zhizun realm cultivator. Everyone frowned.
"The reason why I invited all of you here is the same as what I have written in my letter … for Kong shi's relics!"
Ding Hong scanned the surroundings.
He knew that no matter how good his disguise was, he wouldn't be able to fool the eyes of these half 5-star master teachers. Thus, he decided to face them with his true appearance. In any case, with the secret in his hands, he didn't have to fear being silenced.
"Kong Shi's relic? Do you know what kind of person you are talking to? If you lie to them, you will have to bear the consequences! "
Flinging his sleeves, Sect Leader Luo Huang harrumphed.
Ding Hong clasped his fist and said, "Of course I know. I dare not lie to any of my words... The relic that I am talking about is Kong Shi's personal letter!"
"Kong Shi's personal letter?"
Everyone was astonished.
Even though there were treasures among Kong Shi's relic, they couldn't compare to a personal letter to a master teacher.
Every single word in the handwritten letter contained the essence, energy, and spirit of the writer. If one were to study it, it would be able to improve one's soul scale and cultivation base. It was something that other treasures couldn't compare to.
"Indeed. Back then, the ancestor of a small clan saved the lives of Sage Min and Min shi, and in gratitude, Kong Shi wrote a letter to the ancestor. Ever since then, it has been passed down as a family heirloom."
Ding Hong said.
"Sage Min?"
"You mean Min shi, one of the 72 Sages under Kong Shi?"
"He is one of the founders of Mingshi Tang, and his descendants can be found all over the world. If what you said is true, the value of this personal letter is immeasurable!"
"Putting everything aside, as long as we can find Sage Min's descendants with this, they will surely treat them well..."
"Indeed..."
Hearing the explanation, everyone's breathing hastened.
Kong Shi had three thousand disciples, and the most formidable of them were known as the 72 Sages. Sage Min was one of them, and he had participated in the founding of Mingshi Tang.
To have saved such a person and even received a personal letter from Kong Shi...
Putting aside the value of this personal letter, just the story behind it was enough to send countless people into a frenzy.
"State your conditions!"
Suppressing his breathing, Sect Leader Luo Huang raised his head and looked at Ding Hong.
Hearing his words, everyone calmed down.
Indeed, the other party must have a motive for gathering them here. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to rest easy.
"Sect Leader Luo sure is straightforward!"
Ding Hong chuckled lightly. "My motive is simple. Firstly, I want to become the alliance head of the League of Nations and reach Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle! Secondly, I want you to kill a person for me. Don't worry, this person's cultivation isn't too high, only at Transcendent Mortal 2-dan primary stage. Whoever can promise me these two conditions, I'll tell them the whereabouts of Kong Shi's relic.
"The alliance head of the League of Nations is supported by Mingshi Tang of Myriad Kingdom Alliance. Even though we're unable to interfere in this matter, Pavilion Master Kang still has to respect me. It shouldn't be a problem for him to change the alliance head without harming his foundation!"
Sect Leader Luo Huang turned to Ding Hong and said, "As for raising your cultivation to Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle, as long as you follow my instructions, there's an eighty percent chance that you'll be able to do so... As for killing someone, I can promise you that as well."
"Sect Leader Luo, there's no need to be in such a hurry. If you can do it, so can I. I believe that no one here is willing to give up on Kong Shi's relic!"
"Indeed. This friend over here, our Spiraling Qian Sect promises you that not only will you become the alliance head of the League of Nations, you'll also become an esteemed guest of our sect and enjoy the privileges of an elder!"
"Our Frigid Gale Sect agrees to this condition as well. On top of that, we'll add on five middle-tier spirit stones and fifteen Transcendent Mortal 2-dan female disciples as concubines..."
...
Hearing the other party's conditions, a huge uproar broke out.
