Chapter 128: Chapter 114 Whale Sea Gang_i

“Feel free to speak your mind, my fellow cultivator.”

Xu Mu didn’t explicitly indicate whether he intended to settle nearby.

“I’d like to invite you to join our Whale Sea Gang!”

Xu Yiren straightforwardly explained the perks and benefits of joining their gang.

But there weren’t many benefits to be had.

The Whale Sea Gang was a small one, with only six members at the Foundation Establishment Stage, controlling three small marketplaces, and a couple of hundred followers at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

They belonged to the lowest tier of gangs in the Outer Sea, which is why they established themselves in such a remote location.

It was less about the benefits and more about the convenience.

Firstly, the gang could help with selling items.

For instance, the Dust Bone Flower he just bought was set for sale here by a gang member who was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, who felt that the prices in larger marketplaces were too low.

Secondly, the members of the gang could trade amongst themselves, eliminating the need to travel to far-off markets for transactions.

If necessary, they could also form teams to hunt monster beasts or explore dangerous territories together.

Calling it a gang was perhaps an overstatement; a simple mutual aid group would be a more accurate description.

Because of the gang’s remote location and the scarcity of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the existence of the gang made life easier for everyone.

This was why Xu Yiren had invited him to join upon their first meeting.

Since there were no benefits, there were also no restrictions.

After joining, Xu Mu was free to come and go as he pleased, and there were no obligations.

Of course, if he was willing, tasks were available, like safeguarding the marketplace that could make him eligible for a specific amount of Spirit Stones each month.

in case of a crisis within the gang, he could decide whether or not he wanted to intervene.

There were rewards for those who chose to help, and no punishments for those who chose not to.

The gang just wanted him to join in name, to boost morale in case of a war.

After some thought, Xu Mu felt that there were no downsides, so he agreed.

He was here laying low, but that didn’t mean hiding in a cave and cutting himself off from the world.

All he needed to do was keep a low profile.

After all, he still needed to gather resources for cultivation and get information. It would be unfortunate if he was caught up in a disaster due to ignorance.

Joining the gang would provide him with an additional source of Information and make it easier to gather resources.

Most importantly, this gang was very small and posed no threat to him. If a Golden Core Stage cultivator was backing them, he would have to give the matter more thought.

Seeing that Xu Mu had agreed, Xu Yiren’s smile broadened, and her tone became more friendly and gentle.

“I’ll need to inform the gang leader about your joining. Your token and other forms of identification might take a little while longer.”

“No worries!”

The two exchanged communication jade slips, and Xu Mu was about to take his leave.

Xu Yiren couldn’t help but ask again, “Fellow cultivator, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? You won’t find a place with a stronger spiritual energy than Gourd Island around here!”

One of the perks of joining the Whale Sea Gang was the opportunity to create a dwelling in any of the three islands with the marketplaces.

Compared to the Misty Morning Island he chose by himself, Gourd Island was undoubtedly a better environment. It has several small spirit veins, enough for several cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“No need!”

Although having a small spirit vein could save him quite a few spirit stones, he had only just joined and didn’t fully trust them yet.

It wasn’t necessary to take such risks for a few spirit stones.

“Okay then. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me.”

Xu Yiren seemed somewhat disappointed.

If Xu Mu had agreed to settle on this island, the safety of the marketplace would undoubtedly have been greatly increased.

However, considering that this was their first meeting, it was natural for him to be rejected. There might be another opportunity once they knew each other better.

Xu MU picked up the materials he had purchased, spent some time wandering around the marketplace, and then left, flying toward Misty Morning Island on his flying sword.

“Huh?”

To his surprise, Xu Mu encountered Zhang Shu and the others again not far from his departure.

The two helpers that went with them were nowhere to be seen.

The five of them looked gloomy; it seemed their result was not as expected.

Xu Mu didn’t want to be part of their ill luck, so he decided to fly in another direction.

However, seeing him, the five of them blocked his path.

“What are you trying to do, fellow cultivators?” Xu Mu asked indifferently, his brow slightly furrowed.

-What do we mean?! Hmph! You’re to blame for our failed hunt! Don’t even think about leaving before you pay us some compensation!” Stepping forward, a woman wearing a purple robe, with a big nose and thick lips, coldly spoke.

The other four members, including Zhang Shu, said nothing. They summoned their magic artifacts and looked at him with anger in their eyes.

Obviously, not being able to hunt the beast put them in an ill temper.

Xu Mu was somewhat speechless.

How could they blame their failure on him?

Were these people crazy?

Or did they see him as a newcomer and intentionally used this as an excuse to extort him?

“I suggest you step aside. I don’t want any trouble.”

Xu Mu maintained his composure.

Indeed, he didn’t want trouble and had no intention of bullying a few Qi cultivators.

“You wish! Fork out twenty middle-grade spirit stones, or we’ll teach you the rules of the Whale Sea Gang!”

“The rules of the Whale Sea Gang?”

Xu Mu paused.

“You guys are from the Whale Sea Gang?”

“Indeed! My master is the Vice-Leader of the Whale Sea Gang!

The woman in the purple robe arrogantly responded.

?Don’t tell me your master is Xu Yiren?” Xu Mu asked with a strange look on his face.

“How dare you! You actually dared to call my master by her name!”
