Zu Chong's abode was located on Liezhi Mountain, one of the few scenic mountains in North Liang Dao.
On this day, a divine sense probing came from the foot of the mountain. This was a divine sense probing that belonged to Jin Dan. Zu Chong's heart trembled, and he instantly left the abode. With a few leaps, he was already outside the mountain. From afar, he saw a young Daoist smiling at him.
"You're Qin Shou?"
"That's me! Senior Brother Wen invited me to meet you. It's a promise, and also a final payment! It's better to settle the matter clearly. "
Zu Chong nodded and carefully sized him up. The necessary caution was still necessary. If he ran into the sect's fishing law enforcement, it would be troublesome.
At two hundred years old, Jin Dan's realm had already stabilized. It seemed like he had formed his core for several years. This was nothing new. It was normal for one to form their core within ten years.
"Where's your hometown? Who's your master? Where did you form your core? How many people know? "
The young man stretched out his hand. "The final payment! After settling the debt, my hometown will be in North Liang Dao, and you'll be my master! No one will know if I form my core at Liezhi Mountain! "
Zu Chong was still very stubborn. He had never thought of paying this sum. "Hold on. Do you know who I am? Do you know the power of my Zu clan in Yellow Court Mountain? With such rudeness, aren't you afraid that things will be exposed, and we'll both suffer? However, there's one thing you must know. If there's a punishment, I can take it, but a new disciple like you might not! "
The young man sighed. "I understand. You're going back on your word, and you're not willing to keep your promise?"
Zu Chong shook his head. "Cultivators like us value promises the most. However, on the path of cultivation, some things are more important than resources. Since you've cultivated to this realm, I'm sure you understand these principles."
The young man was disdainful. "I understand! However, I also understand what's real and what's fake! What's keeping a promise, and what's making excuses!
If we don't get along, then it's too late to say anything. Since that's the case, I'll take my leave! "
Zu Chong moved to block the young man's path. He smiled maliciously. "Since you're here, do you still want to leave? You haven't even entered the sect, and you're already bearing the label of deceiving the sect. If I reveal even a little, you'll never be able to come into contact with the Golden Court's foundation! "
The young man was surprised. "Aren't you the same? How much better can he be than me? "
Zu Chong laughed. "I have connections and I've already learned a great technique. No matter how bad it is, I can still rely on breaking through to the upper realm to solve everything. What about you?
Resources were only one aspect of cultivation! If you are willing to listen to me, I will introduce you to the Zhenren of the Zu family. Isn't that more meaningful than some resources?
There would come a day when resources would be used up, but maintaining a good network would be beneficial for a lifetime! Think it over carefully! "
The young man stood still, apparently weighing the pros and cons. He probably felt that he couldn't take this step in the end. The Chamber of Commerce had already received benefits, and the stain had already been placed, but it couldn't be washed clean no matter what.
"Fine! You and I both know what Senior Brother said. It's just an excuse! I just want Senior Brother to understand that one must always be honest when doing things. Time and time again, even a clay figurine has a clay character. Who knows if I, Qin Shou, won't soar into the sky one day? "
Zu Chong laughed. This was just another version of 'don't bully a poor youth'!
"Don't worry! I don't want to make too many enemies in the sect! Having more friends was always better than having more enemies! In the future, when everyone is familiar with each other, we might even help each other out! "
The young man thought for a moment. "I can promise Senior Brother that I won't take the final payment, but I have a condition. If Senior Brother agrees, then everything will be as before. If not, then we'll go our separate ways and find our own paths!"
Zu Chong was satisfied that his plan had succeeded. He asked, "What condition? Tell me about it. "
The young man revealed a yearning expression. "Before coming, Master Li once said that Senior Brother Zu's cultivation was profound, and his spells were unparalleled. Especially the Jade-Gold Scissors, which was made of the highest grade known in the world, Purple Extreme Gold. It can cut through all external objects!
I am fond of external objects, and I like the way of refining the most. I don't dare to ask to be able to use it. I only hope to look at it from afar and be rewarded with the sharpest item in the world. That's enough, but in my heart … "
When Zu Chong heard this, he didn't think it was too difficult. He had refined the Jade-Gold Scissors for dozens of years, and it had long become one with his mind. It couldn't be taken away by others! This was an offensive spiritual weapon. When used against an enemy, it had to be used against them. If he was afraid of losing it, then it was better not to refine it.
"It's a piece of cake. Watch carefully!"
With a flip of his hand, an item leapt into the air. The upper and lower edges of the scissors were still opening and closing, looking extremely fierce. The sharpness of the scissors could be felt from afar. It was truly worthy of being called the world's number one metal!
The young man gasped in amazement, dazzled by the sight. He said, "Senior Brother, I obtained a strange object. It's abnormally hard, but no one knows the origin of its material. Can you let the Jade-Gold Scissors try and see if it can cut through it?"
Zu Chong disdainfully said, "Strange object? It's just that you guys are ignorant and inexperienced, that's all! Fine, since Senior Brother is in a good mood today, I'll let you see what the world's number one metal is! "
The young man apologized and took out a black iron plate from his ring. He tossed it into the air, and the Jade-Gold Scissors swooped down. The scissors opened and closed …
In Zu Chong's mind, this was a matter of cutting in half. Ever since he had refined the Jade-Gold Scissors, no other weapon could withstand his scissors!
However, the strange thing was that the Jade-Gold Scissors, which had always been successful, turned pale with fright this time. The moment the upper and lower edges of the scissors approached the black object, they did not cut it, nor did they crack it. Instead, they mysteriously disappeared!
The young man also found it strange. He waved his hand and took back the black object. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but say angrily,
"Senior Brother Zu, you can't use a fake scissors to fool me, right? Where did the scissors go to? Senior Brother, you don't keep your word. I don't dare to make a deal with someone like you. It's better for me to leave! "
He turned and left. Only then did Zu Chong realize that his Jade-Gold Scissors had been stolen!
"Evil thief, give it back to me! Where do you think you're going? I, Zu Chong, will fight you to the death today! "
One of them chased while the other fled. The young man fled swiftly and utterly didn't have the appearance of someone who had just refined the Jade-Gold Scissors. Only now did Zu Chong understand that this person was probably a fake, and he'd been tricked!
Who had the guts to deceive a Golden Hall Realm cultivator's spirit weapon on the Golden Court Continent?
Even though he was furious, he chased further and further away. This person's movement technique was extremely strange. He passed through rivers and mountains, and after chasing for 50km, he'd already lost track of the young man, causing Zu Chong to be angered to the point of shouting loudly. The Jade-Gold Scissors was the most precious treasure in his possession, and it could be said that just this one treasure had basically occupied 90% of his wealth. Even if his background was extraordinary, he was still unable to bear such a loss!
Unfortunately, North Liang Dao was desolate, and there weren't any fellow disciples of the Golden Court Sect within a few thousand kilometers of it. How could he possibly be able to chase after a cultivator whose speed far surpassed him?
Most importantly, he had no way to tell this sort of extraordinary shame and humiliation to others! If he really told others, then not to mention being ridiculed by others, his clan would be dissatisfied with him, and the matter of him buying a quota would be exposed, causing countless troubles …
