A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

"Since you're so agreeable, brother, I've also prepared a feast at the market down the mountain. Would you do me the honor of coming down with us for a drink? That would be a way of giving Elder Zhao an explanation for this matter, how about it?"

"Yamashitabo City?"

Cao Wang became alert again.

There is indeed a market town of the Blissful Sect at the foot of the mountain.

The various items produced by the Blissful Sect, such as talismans and elixirs, are sold through the market or exchanged for other needed resources.

It is also a gathering place for independent cultivators within a radius of several thousand miles.

When the disciples of the Blissful Sect have nothing to do, they often go down the mountain to relax and exchange for the supplies they need.

"Let's forget about it. I appreciate your kindness, but if Elder Zhao asks, just answer truthfully. We'll skip the banquet!"

Cao Wang flatly refused.

"Don't do that!"

Wang Hu immediately began to persuade him.

"We've already booked the tables, each costing ten spirit stones. They're filled with highly nourishing delicacies from the sea and spirits, and there will be ten stunningly beautiful mortal women accompanying us. Compared to those unbearable senior sisters from the Blissful Sect, it's like night and day!"

"Yeah, brother, go ahead. We can get some benefits too. You have no idea how many senior sisters there are in the Blissful Sect, but each one is truly indescribable. And you can't refuse them. Sometimes we really can't bring ourselves to do it, but we have no choice!"

Others immediately began to chime in.

"The senior sisters of the Blissful Sect absorb our energy, but those mortal women don't absorb us; instead, we absorb their energy, which is of great benefit to our cultivation!"

Speaking of it.

Cao Wang was immediately tempted.

But then he thought of the Zhenyang Locking Yuan Technique that Jiao San Niang had given him.

He firmly waved his hand and refused.

"Really, it's not necessary. You can go!"

After saying that, Cao Wang prepared to send the guest away.

"You may leave now. I will tell Elder Zhao about this, and he will not make things difficult for you."

Upon seeing this, the group's expressions changed, and they exchanged glances, seemingly searching for a solution.

In just a moment, Wang Hu's expression hardened, as if he had made up his mind.

"Brother, you know what, you absolutely have to go, because I've prepared a very generous gift for you!"

"Oh?"

Cao Wang's vigilance grew stronger.

The loss of dozens of spirit stones, the humiliation of being forced to wear a large bag, and the lesson of being sent to confinement—could these people be so easily swayed?

That's absolutely impossible!

There's always something fishy going on when things seem unusual; there's definitely something fishy going on here.

"What generous gift?"

As Cao Wang spoke, he slowly moved towards the door, ready to run away at any moment.

"I heard from Hua An that you chose lightning strike as your first free introductory spell, right? Coincidentally, my senior sister, who I cultivate with, gave me a piece of lightning steel stone, which contains the power of lightning and will greatly benefit your cultivation!"

Upon hearing this,

Cao Wang was not attracted by this so-called Thunder Steel Stone.

Instead, he was angered by Hua An, whom he mentioned.

In other words, Hua An has sold himself out again?

Before Wang Hu and the others arrived, they must have gone to see Hua An.

Cao Wang showed no sign of surprise, but instead waved his hands repeatedly, flattered, saying, "No, no, this is too valuable. I absolutely cannot accept it. Besides, it's really not a big deal. Let's just leave it at that, okay?"

We've arrived at the door.

Cao Wang had the means to escape.

"Brothers, I thank you all for your kindness. If you don't trust me, we can go find Elder Zhao now. What do you think?"

With that, Cao Wang prepared to set off.

Upon seeing this, Wang Hu and the others' expressions immediately changed.

"Alright, alright, since you're not willing to do me the honor, then forget it!"

Wang Hu quickly stopped Cao Wang.

Seeing this, Cao Wang was certain that these guys had no good intentions.

"Let's go!"

After saying that, the group turned and left.

Cao Wang finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Hmph! Trying to trick me? No way!"

Even a fool would know that this guy was probably trying to find an excuse to trick himself into going down the mountain, and then find a hole to bury himself in.

Just as Wang Hu and the others left.

Hua An arrived shortly after.

"Go to hell, you sold me out again!"

Cao Wang went up and kicked him.

"Stop them from your tracks!"

Hua An retreated and dodged repeatedly.

"Big brother, I did this on purpose!"

"Intentional?" Cao Wang stopped.

"That's right!"

Hua An nodded repeatedly.

"I've heard long ago that Wang Hu got his hands on a piece of Thunder Steel Stone."

I know they'll definitely retaliate against us when they get out.

So I led them to you, gave them advice, and suggested setting up a trap to lure you down the mountain, and that you still have many treasures given to you by the Great Elder, Jiao San Niang.

They took the bait, just as expected.

Upon hearing this, Cao Wang's face darkened completely.

"You're pushing me off a cliff!"

"Don't be hasty, let me finish. Do you know how much this piece of Thundersteel Stone is worth? One hundred spirit stones!"

Hua An explained hysterically.

"Fortune favors the bold. They want to get us, so we'll turn the tables on them. If we get our hands on this piece of Thunder Steel Stone, we'll be rich!"

"Go to hell, you lied to me!"

Cao Wang went up and immediately hit him with a big punch.

"Wang Hu just said that this piece of bullshit Thunder Steel Stone was a gift from one of his senior sisters who was keeping him. The highest offering a senior sister from the outer sect would receive is only ten spirit stones. Would someone really give him a Thunder Steel Stone worth a hundred spirit stones? Is Wang Hu well-endowed and good in bed? Or is this senior sister a rich woman who doesn't care?"

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't hit me! I'll tell the truth, I'll tell the truth!"

Hua An waved his hands repeatedly and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Actually, I only said that because they beat me so badly."

"Go to hell! Don't you dare come looking for me again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Cao Wang was furious and lowered his raised hand.

If it weren't for the fact that both sides had been considerate when this kid first joined the sect, I would have crippled him.

If I continue like this with him, I'll be killed by this kid one day.

"All right!"

Hua An stood up and dejectedly dusted himself off.

"I know what I did was wrong."

But when they came to find me today, I was indeed beaten so badly that I couldn't take it anymore.

But you can keep this one!

Cao Wang turned around.

Hua An was holding a book in his hand.

The book cover was worn and yellowed.

It's not very thick, and the title on it is somewhat incomplete.

only……

It was torn in half.

Hua An smiled wryly: "I've noticed you've been going to the library these past two days, and you've even been going to the regular section. I asked the old man and found out that you're looking for detailed history of the Four Great Immortal Sects and the Primordial Dao Court from two thousand years ago."

This is what I found for you this morning; I hope it helps.

I don't know what you're looking for.

But it will definitely be useful to you.

Is that right?

Cao Wang stared blankly at the book.

The inscription reads "The Handbook of the First Days".

Cao Wang's gaze shifted from the book to Hua An's face.

Hua An shrugged and said helplessly, "It's a pity, though. When those bastards, Wang Hu, were beating you up, the book was torn in two. If it weren't for protecting this book, I wouldn't have been beaten so badly!"

"Holy shit!"

Cao Wang took a deep breath, cursed, and turned his back to Hua An.
