Chapter 134: A Deal

Chapter 134: A Deal

Big Brother Tie, this is my junior! Abbess Clearlotus was excited. She turned to the little nun, who looked to be around thirteen years old, and said, Junior, has our master emerged from her seclusion yet?

The little nun eyed Tie Ma doubtfully as she replied, Senior Clearlotus, our master just came out of her seclusion yesterday. Didnt you head into the secular world for your training? Youre supposed to return around a decade later

Something happened. I came back to request help from our master. Lets catch up later. Abbess Clearlotus gestured to Tie Ma as she made her way into the Moon Monastery.

However, the little nun stepped forward to stop them. Abbess Clearlotus, men arent allowed in our Moon Monastery. This is against the rules.

This is Big Brother Tie. He was the one who escorted me back. You wont get it even if I explain it to you. Master will understand once I meet her, Abbess Clearlotus anxiously said.

The little nun hesitated, but she eventually allowed the two of them into the Moon Monastery.

The Moon Monastery didnt have many disciples. They did encounter a few nuns along the way, and their eyes would widen in surprise when they saw the two of them.

Abbess Clearlotus, it doesnt look like your Moon Monastery has many disciples, Tie Ma said.

There are few cultivator sects in the world that have many disciples. There are only this many resources in the world, and it takes a huge amount of resources to nurture one cultivator.

A person suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. It was a tall and slender woman who looked to be in her thirties, and she was gorgeous. She assessed Tie Ma while answering his question.

You are? Tie Ma was taken aback. He didnt notice her appearance at all!

Abbess Clearlotus was overjoyed. Master!

Tie Ma widened his eyes in realization.

I am Moonchaser from the Moon Monastery, the woman calmly replied.

Abbess Moonchaser, its an honor to meet you in person Tie Ma clasped his fist and bowed.

A mere mortal wouldnt have heard of my title, Abbess Moonchaser placidly replied. She turned to Clearlotus and said, Clearlotus, it hasnt been a year since you went down the mountain. Why are you in such a rush to return? And whats the background of this mortal?

Abbess Clearlotus quickly explained the situation with a lowered voice.

When Abbess Moonchaser heard the words Blood Spirit Cult, her eyes visibly turned grim.

Our Moon Monastery wont interfere in the affairs of the Blood Spirit Cult, Abbess Moonchaser turned to Tie Ma and said. You may descend the mountain now.

Master?! Abbess Clearlotus was startled. She hadnt expected Abbess Moonchaser to immediately reject them.

The Blood Spirit Cult is an old tree with roots branching over the world. Meddling in their business will only bring a calamity upon our Moon Monastery. We wont cross them as long as they dont cross us. They wont recklessly make a move on a cultivator sect either, Abbess Moonchaser said.

Elder, our young master wont ask you to make a move for free. Hes willing to strike a deal with you for your help, Tie Ma calmly replied.

Strike a deal? Your young master, a Ki Refinement cultivator, wants to strike a deal with me? Abbess Moonchaser asked with a smile.

The Purple Lightning Talismans heritage, Tie Ma said. Elder, I wonder if you have heard of the Purple Lightning Talisman?

Purple Lightning Talisman?

There was a subtle change in Abbess Moonchasers expression. The Purple Lightning Talisman was famous in the world of cultivation, and its heritage was rare. There was not a cultivator sect in Infernoblaze Country that had inherited the Purple Lightning Talismans heritage.

Its almost impossible for a cultivator to appear in a grade-9 state. Your young master must have inherited a cultivators heritage. Was the Purple Lightning Talisman part of the heritage too? Abbess Moonchaser asked.

I dont know the details, but my young master is sincere about making this deal, Elder, please consider it. Tie Ma clasped his fist.

Sincere? Abbess Moonchaser laughed. I reckon your young master only obtained a couple of Purple Lightning Talismans by chance rather than its heritage.

Abbess Clearlotus hurriedly interjected, Master, I personally saw the young master drawing Purple Lightning Talismans. He was the one who gave me these. He said that if youre willing to make a move, hed pass down the Purple Lightning Talismans heritage to me.

She took out a stack of Purple Lightning Talismans as she spoke. She had used a couple of them along the way, but there were still dozens left.

Abbess Moonchaser frowned at the sight of those Purple Lightning Talismans. She took them from Abbess Clearlotus hands and examined them.

These are authentic.

This prompted Abbess Moonchaser to glance at Tie Ma before looking at the Purple Lightning Talisman once more. Each of these Purple Lightning Talismans was worth at least ten low-grade ki stones in Infernoblaze, which meant they were comparable to some two daosoul artifacts.

On top of that, it was a market with severely limited supply.

The prowess of Purple Lightning Talismans was incredible. A low-grade Purple Lightning Talisman would grant a third stage Ki Refinement cultivator a chance to turn the tables on a sixth stage Ki Refinement cultivator.

And the stack of Purple Lightning Talismans Abbess Clearlotus had just taken out were all mid-grade Purple Lightning Talismans. That would make them even more valuable. Ordinary cultivators wouldnt have been able to acquire so many Purple Lightning Talismans.

At this point, Abbess Moonchaser had already believed that Fang Chen had the Purple Lightning Talismans heritage.

The value of this heritage couldnt just be measured by hundreds or even thousands of low-grade ki stones. At least in Infernoblaze, it was priceless!

Come with me, Abbess Moonchaser stowed away the Purple Lightning Talismans before turning around and walking away.

Abbess Clearlotus was overjoyed. Tie Ma breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Conference Palace, Abbess Moonchaser took the principal seat, whereas Tie Ma and Abbess Clearlotus stood on her left. It didnt take long for eight other abbesses to enter as well. Some of these abbesses were old, but there were also younger ones too.

All of them were at least at ninth stage Ki Refinement, and there was even one who had reached twelfth stage Ki Refinement, just a step away from reaching Foundation Establishment.

Junior Sect Master, why did you call us here? the oldest abbess asked.

The others looked at Tie Ma and frowned. They could tell at a glance that Tie Ma was a mere mortal, not to mention a man. How could such a person be allowed in the Moon Monastery?

Abbess Moonchaser looked at the crowd and smiled. Fellow sisters, Id like to discuss an important matter with the rest of you today.

The abbesses were astonished. A matter that requires all of the second-generation disciples to gather together to discuss must have something to do with the sects fate.

A few faces turned grim. Did the Moon Monastery provoke a powerful enemy?

Abbess Moonchaser slowly explained the situation to the other abbesses. The talk about the Blood Spirit Cult and the Purple Lightning Talismans heritage left the abbesses dazed. It was only when they saw the stack of Purple Lightning Talismans that they finally believed the story.

Senior Starfire, you are 130 years old, right? You might reach your limit in a decade if you dont advance to Foundation Establishment, but the Foundation Establishment Pill is expensive. We can hardly afford one even if we put all our resources into it, Abbess Moonchaser sighed.

If we acquire the Purple Lightning Talismans heritage, we could earn a sum of ki stones within a short period of time. Theres a chance we can buy a Foundation Establishment Pill before your lifespan runs out.

A sharp glint flashed across the eyes of the old Abbess Starfire. She slowly turned to Tie Ma and asked with a hoarse voice, Does your young master really possess the Purple Lightning Talisman heritage?

Yes, he does, Tie Ma answered.

Abbess Clearlotus quickly added, I can vouch for that.

But this matter has grave consequences. If the Blood Spirit Cult learns of our involvement One of the abbesses carefully glanced at Abbess Starfire.

If we are agreeable with it, we will only help them once. Well do it discreetly so that we wont be revealed even if we fail. The Blood Spirit Cult wont be able to find us, Abbess Moonchaser said.

If thats the case it should be fine.

The abbesses discussed a bit longer before nodding.

The Purple Lightning Talismans heritage was too tempting. This was a rare opportunity to bring their Moon Monastery to a greater height. They didnt want to miss this chance.

Junior Sect Master, well be troubling you to make this trip. Abbess Starfire stood up and slowly bowed.

Its done! Tie Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
