“Later, we’ll just need to counter them, to help reduce some pressure on the Wei Yuan Sect.”
“The Wei Yuan Sect has a history of tens of thousands of years as a major Artifact Refining sect.
Our cooperation with them could make the name of Castcloud Hall even more prestigious.”
“Mutual benefit, endless streams of wealth.”
The third disciple grinned, and the immortals chuckled lightly.
By now, quite a few immortals had caught on.
This son of Dazhi was actually using this casual conversation to ‘hint’ at them with subtle overtones.
It seemed that this was also an arrangement of the ancestor Dazhi.
Inside the cabin, Li Dazhi was wide-eyed with fury, glaring at several Heavenly Immortals in front of him, and shouted with a cup in hand:
You’re raising fish again!
How can you drink like that!
You’re a Heavenly Immortal and still afraid of a little alcohol!
Ah, if you get drunk, just take an Immortal Pill to sober up, it won’t delay anything!”
The elder grimaced and drained his cup in one gulp.
Li Dazhi chuckled and filled the elder’s cup to the brim.
In a corner, a camouflaged old crone watched the scene with a smile.
‘This favorite disciple of Brother Kongming is quite amusing.’
Li Dazhi belched, having just taken a sobering Immortal Pill, and with three Heavenly Immortal elders in tow, hurried towards the corner where Li Ping’an was.
The immortals either saluted from afar or stayed seated and greeted with cupped hands.
Around the three massive Cloud Boats of the Wanyun Sect, and those twenty or thirty Cloud Boats nearby, aura of Spiritual Sense probed in this direction, all those onlookers eager to take a close look at the rumored Human Race Great Fortune Holder, Great Wealth Immortal.
With so many experts from the Wanyun Sect around, the onlookers didn’t dare to say anything too offensive.
“No wonder he’s from a merchant background, so poised and brilliant, his presence commands respect.
Compared to us, who only know how to meditate and cultivate, he has a different kind of aura.”
“Praise him all you want, he can’t hear you anyway.”
What I’m saying comes straight from the heart.
I find this Immortal Dazhi to be elegant and talented.
Look here, what do you think I’m holding in my hand?”
“Wrong, this is a voucher from Castcloud Hall offering a hundred Spirit Stone discount on a six hundred Spirit Stone purchase, signed personally by Immortal Dazhi.
I’m willing to part with this for sixty Spirit Stones!”
We saw through you a long time ago!”
“When did you sneak on our boat!
Castcloud Hall’s vouchers can only be used on the same day, folks!
The small Cloud Boat fell into slight disorder.
Li Dazhi glanced over, a silent chuckle within.
Xiaoyue’s understanding was pretty good.
The sales tactics he gave her two years ago were all being used, opportunists had emerged.
Li Dazhi didn’t dwell on it, retracting his Spiritual Sense, he looked towards his four disciples bowing respectfully.
Around him, many immortals from the Wanyun Sect had gathered.
“No need for formalities.”
Li Dazhi waved his hand and said with a smile, “You three go and enjoy yourselves.
Ping’an, come here, I have something to discuss with you.”
Li Ping’an complied and followed his father to a small cabin nearby, joined by several inner sect elders.
Li Dazhi first saw to it the elders were seated, then gestured for Li Ping’an to sit beside him;
Unexpectedly, Li Ping’an was prepared, took out a homemade stool, and sat opposite the elders.
“Father, is there any trouble?”
“Ah,” Li Dazhi said with a smile, “We just received a message from the Wei Yuan Sect.
The people from the Sea Watch Sect have already arrived at their gate.
Forge-Heaven Gate is even more frightening—they’ve gone straight there with six Heavenly Immortals, setting up a Teleportation Formation.”
The elders laughed about the situation:
“Once a Teleportation Formation is activated, that’s hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.”
“Such a formation is extremely difficult to create, incredibly expensive and notably fragile.
With this move, the Forge-Heaven Gate really intends to put pressure on us.”
Teleportation Formation!
Li Ping’an was somewhat surprised, he hadn’t expected the Forge-Heaven Gate to spend so heavily just for the sake of face.
He said with a smile, “I’ve often read in ancient texts that, in the ancient times, our Human Race experts would risk their lives to strike at the rear of the Hundred Clans’ Great Army, using the Teleportation Formation to produce unexpected soldiers and achieve victory!”
Li Dazhi looked troubled: “The problem is, if they activate the Teleportation Formation, our force of eight hundred immortals will be completely overwhelmed.
They could summon a thousand, or even thousands of immortals at any time.”
“Indeed,” sighed an elder, “Forge-Heaven Gate is the third largest sect.
Its heritage is far beyond the Wanyun Sect at its peak.”
An old crone asked, “Ping’an, what do you think we should do to respond?”
Li Ping’an pondered for a moment.
He truly had no great ideas; matters like these required an approach that adapted as things unfold.
His side should either prepare more or be mentally prepared for anything.
“Elders, Father, I think we should leave Forge-Heaven Gate to Elder Xu Sheng to handle,” Li Ping’an stated seriously.
“How many immortals has the Sea Watch Sect sent?”
“A hundred or two,” Li Dazhi passed the jade talisman with the message from the Wei Yuan Sect to Ping’an.
Li Ping’an examined it closely and frowned again.
Those four unaffiliated guys had shown up again, the Sea Watch Sect truly aimed to let their disciples stand out for the sect.
Li Ping’an, however, had already planned for this, and said with a smile, “Let’s first discuss how to deal with the Sea Watch Sect, Father, you should handle this.”
With my current experience in Magical Combat, I simply can’t control my rapidly advancing cultivation,” Li Dazhi blinked.
“I can curse people out, but when it comes to dao and Magical Combat, I’m really not that great.
I’ve practiced some, but with my quick breakthroughs, I haven’t cultivated much in terms of techniques.”
