"Let's go together then!" Zhou Jinchun quickly said.
Chu Li shook his head. "I'll go alone."
"There's strength in numbers," Zhou Jinchun said.
Chu Li glanced at him. "You're a burden now. You'll only cause trouble if you go!"
Both Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin were suffering from the aftereffects of the secret skill. Their cultivation levels were almost crippled, so they could not fight anyone. When Mo Qianjun saw this, he feigned ignorance and even thanked them generously before asking them to leave. If anything happened to them here, he would be implicated as well!
"You …!" Zhou Jinchun stared at him angrily. Chu Li stared back at him.
Zhou Jinchun was annoyed. "Alright, alright, I'm a burden, I'm a burden, alright? Can you do it yourself?"
"Piece of cake!" Chu Li said.
Ji Xin was annoyed too. He scoffed. "Why are you still dawdling if you can find Junior Sister Li!"
He could have found Junior Sister Li, but he did not. Instead, he was dawdling and did not care about Junior Sister Li's life at all. How detestable!
"It's not a big deal. I need to find out what Altar Leader Mo is up to. Don't let anyone else attack us!" Chu Li scoffed.
"This Altar Leader Mo!" Ji Xin gritted his teeth. He recalled Mo Qianjun's sinister and vicious behavior and was worried about Li Ruolan. He quickly said, "Hurry up and go!"
Chu Li glared at him angrily. "Take out all your Energy Cultivating Pills!"
Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin each took out two bottles and passed them to him. They knew that he really needed the Energy Pills. His cultivation level was not high enough. Without the Energy Pills, his inner energy would dry up and he would not be able to continue.
"Wait for the good news!" Chu Li waved his hand and strode out of the Town Defense Prefecture. He left Falling Autumn City and went to the Taoist temple fifty miles away.
He was extremely fast. He scanned the surroundings with the Omniscient Mirror and soon saw Li Ruolan in his mind.
Under the bright and beautiful sunlight, the ancient Taoist temple seemed to be filled with vitality.
Li Ruolan was sitting in front of a stone table in the front yard of the temple. Wen Tingdao was sitting opposite her.
Wen Tingdao gave a fist salute and smiled. "Miss Li, we invited you here as a guest. We mean no harm!"
"Is this how you invite me?" Li Ruolan sneered. "You used Senior Brother Ji to lure me here. Is this how you treat your guests?"
She received a letter in the middle of the night and it contained a piece of Ji Xin's jade pendant. She panicked out of concern and chased after the person who delivered the letter. She chased the person for 25 miles before she arrived at this Taoist temple and saw Wen Tingdao there.
She knew that she had been tricked the moment she saw Wen Tingdao.
Wen Tingdao waved his folding fan and smiled. "If I didn't do this, Lady Li wouldn't have come. It's difficult to invite her, so this is the only way!"
"Junior Brother Zhao won't agree to it!" Li Ruolan said calmly, "You're wasting your efforts!"
"Hehe …" Wen Tingdao closed his folding fan and lightly tapped his palm. "Do you think we're using you to threaten Master Zhao? You're wrong. You think too lowly of us! "
"Humph, how despicable!" Li Ruolan laughed mockingly.
If they were not despicable, then who was?
Wen Tingdao pretended not to hear her and smiled. "We're inviting Lady Li to be our guest. We're not forcing you, we're just using some tricks. However, a treat is a treat, not a captive. If Lady Li doesn't like it, you can leave anytime. We won't stop you!"
"Really?" Li Ruolan frowned in disbelief.
Wen Tingdao smiled. "Lady Li, you're free now!"
Li Ruolan stood up and could not wait to leave. When she reached the entrance of the Taoist temple, she turned around and saw Wen Tingdao playing with his wine cup. He looked at her with a smile and had no intention of making a move.
Wen Tingdao gestured for Li Ruolan to go ahead.
Li Ruolan frowned. "What are you trying to do?"
"We're just expressing our sincerity." Wen Tingdao smiled warmly. "We're exchanging the Less Ultimate Sword technique with Master Zhao for the Detachment Pills."
"Is this sincerity?" Li Ruolan scoffed.
Wen Tingdao smiled and nodded. "Not when you can. This is sincerity!"
Li Ruolan's charming face darkened.
She immediately understood Wen Tingdao's threat.
This time, he was letting her leave safely. If she did not exchange the Detachment Pills, she might not be able to leave the next time.
"Oh right, Lady Li, this is the first half of the Less Ultimate Sword technique!" Wen Tingdao took out a thin booklet and tossed it to Li Ruolan.
The thin booklet was carried to Li Ruolan as if it was carried by an invisible hand.
Li Ruolan took it but did not flip through it.
Wen Tingdao smiled. "If Master Zhao is interested in the exchange, you can leave the Detachment Pills at the same place. We'll also leave the second half of the sword technique at the same place. If you're still worried, you can go over there and read the sword technique first before giving us the Detachment Pills. Aren't we being very sincere?"
"Very sincere indeed!" Chu Li snorted and stepped into the Taoist temple.
Wen Tingdao's smile remained the same but he frowned.
He did not notice Chu Li's approach!
Chu Li shook his head. "Wen Tingdao, why are you playing tricks? Hand over the second half of the sword technique and we can exchange it now!"
"Junior Brother Zhao!" Li Ruolan quickly said.
"Really?" Wen Tingdao's smile widened.
Chu Li scoffed. "The Less Ultimate Sword can only be exchanged for two Detachment Pills!"
"Hmm —?" Wen Tingdao's handsome face turned gloomy. "Two pills?!"
Chu Li nodded. "Only two pills. I originally wanted to give you three pills but you overreached yourself. So, I can only give you two. If you disturb Senior Sister Li again, you can only give me one pill."
"Are you kidding us?" Wen Tingdao's handsome face darkened. "What's the use of two pills?"
Chu Li said, "If I break one finger, two pills will be enough!"
"What about two fingers?"
"Then I'll only be able to grow half of it."
"Four pills!" Wen Tingdao said in a deep voice. "Otherwise, we won't exchange!"
"That's great." Chu Li spread his hands. "Do you think the Sword Moon Sect has the Holy Church of Light under your thumb? If you piss us off, we'll just charge into the Fu Dynasty and take care of the Sword Moon Sect. I'll just take out the Detachment Pills and let the other sects deal with your Sword Moon Sect disciples. Can you stand it? "
"In your dreams!" Wen Tingdao could not help but laugh as he shook his head. "The Fu Dynasty's martial arts world will never listen to the Holy Church of Light!"
"I'll just get someone from the Fu Dynasty to step in." Chu Li pursed his lips. "The Sword Moon Sect has many enemies too, right? Hmph, you'll be the sinner if both sides suffer great losses! "
Wen Tingdao's expression changed slightly but he remained silent.
At the end of the day, he did not want to fall out with Chu Li over a few Detachment Pills.
After all, Chu Li was a talented and rare Pill-refining Master. They might even be able to obtain other rare pills from him in the future. Otherwise, the Sword Moon Sect would not have been so lenient. They could have just captured Li Ruolan and forced Chu Li to hand over the Detachment Pills!
"Then I'll add another bottle of Strengthening Pills!" Wen Tingdao scoffed. "That's our secret medicine!"
Chu Li said calmly, "Alright, I'll exchange!"
