Chapter 1027 - 562: Golden Order
Half a year ago, an elder from the sect went out and encountered the enemy, unfortunately losing his life. This person has long coveted the position of the elder, and this time he is determined to succeed. His original words were: "I must find something that can impress the sect leader. For this, any price can be paid——" The last few words were spoken slowly and softly, with a gentle light in his eyes, his phoenix eyes filled with emotion, and his hand quietly extended on the table, seemingly wanting to gently caress Ning Xiaoxian’s skin beside her right hand pinky.
Many women are very sensitive in this area.
Ning Xiaoxian frowned slightly, her protective Gang Qi naturally flowed, his hand still hadn’t touched her skin, yet he already felt a chill piercing into his meridians, like being stabbed with needles, causing him to involuntarily cry out, "Ah."
This person actually wanted to flirt with her and seduce her? Her face sank: "Qi Zai, please see the guest out." She then stood up, ready to go upstairs.
Tsk, with just this appearance, he still wants to seduce her?
Qi Zai stood in front of the handsome man, smiled slightly and said: "Please."
Knowing he had made a mistake, the man hastily said: "Elder Ning, wait, I—I have an extremely precious item here, willing to exchange it for a Rejuvenation Pill!" Fearing Qi Zai would expel him, he immediately took something from his bosom and placed it on the table, "This is the Golden Order from the Heavenly Residence! Using this and adding 300,000 Spirit Stones, to exchange for one Rejuvenation Pill with you!"
Things related to the Heavenly Residence at this moment are worth a look. Ning Xiaoxian turned back, picked up the token from the table, and examined it carefully. This token is different from the Purple Gold Token she wears around her waist, as it is wholly carved from pure gold into the shape of Qingfu coins, feeling heavy in the hand, and might sell for several thousand taels of silver at a gold shop. However, among cultivators, none should be so wasteful.
"I am listening." she reminds the man.
The handsome man noticed her interest in the Golden Order, sighed in relief, and said: "This is an old collection from my home, the Heavenly Residence no longer issues such things now. The holder of the Golden Order can make a not-too-excessive request to the Heavenly Residence, including credit of a million Spirit Stones! Now, someone outside is offering 300,000 Spirit Stones to purchase this token."
This Golden Order seems small and cute, but unfortunately, the man’s level of lying is not high—this token looks quite new. It’s known that the surface of gold gradually oxidizes over time, losing its shine, and since this isn’t jewelry, no one would regularly polish it. Judging by this alone, this Golden Order shouldn’t have been cast earlier than ten years ago—what "old collection" at home? Likely obtained through some unscrupulous channels.
Besides, seeing his behavior and habits, he must have some unclean relationship with the sect leader at home. Hence his firm decision to obtain a Rejuvenation Pill to please the leader.
While pondering, she played with it in her hand. The small gold coin flipped between her delicate and slender fingers, after watching for a while, the man thought: "These hands are beautiful." Then heard her say, "The deal is done."
He rejoiced instantly, counted out the Spirit Stones from the storage ring, accepted the Rejuvenation Pill, quickly bowed, and hurried to leave, as if fearing she would go back on the deal. Ning Xiaoxian’s sleeve whispered as a small thin-waisted bee flew out, quietly crawled into his clothes hem, and waited to sting him when in a secluded place.
The bee, black and tinged with gold, appeared particularly menacing. While collecting spirit flowers and strange grasses in the small garden of the Fifth Floor in the God Demon Prison, its constitution altered, capable of piercing through a person’s protective Gang Qi without the cultivator noticing, and its venom especially potent. Although not deadly, a sting from this little guy will cause three days and nights of pain, as if soaking in boiling water—an unbelievably mesmerizing sensation. Ning Xiaoxian had no intent to kill him, but the offense of being impertinent must be punished.
After this, she finally gained some peace.
Before night fell, Qingluan returned from the Supervision Bureau and reported: "I’ve found out, Juan Niang does have some relation with Mingshui Sect, she is the deputy sect master Wenren Bo’s, that boy who lost to Qi Zai, aunt. I have agreed with the secretary, giving him a day to gather more detailed information, which he can hand over to me tomorrow."
The black-clad woman indeed has some relation to Mingshui Sect; otherwise, why would she harbor malice at a mere glance? Clearly, she had previously seen Hulian Minmin’s portrait and recognized Ning Xiaoxian. Upon realizing this, her heart moved, wondering about the recent situation of the Hulian siblings, whether they managed to evade Mingshui Sect’s pursuit.
