This Supreme Elder is so wealthy, it seems a bit too little that he only took advantage of him twice.
“I have all sorts of magical artifacts here that are suitable for ghost cultivators. Would you like to buy some for your disciple? Look at him, he doesn’t even have a body anymore, how pitiful. I also have cultivation techniques suitable for ghost cultivators! But they are top-tier techniques, and ordinary people can’t afford them. I don’t know if you can afford the price.”
The Supreme Elder raised his eyes, glanced at Fang Ruotang, then at Canaan, whose body was gone, and a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes.
He only had three disciples in his entire life.
Besides Canaan, he had two other disciples, but both of them perished in the secret realm. After that, no matter how much the sect leader tried to persuade him, he did not take on any more disciples.
The mortality rate in the cultivation world is too high. After all, they are engaged in a business that defies fate, and they can die and perish without even realizing it.
After experiencing the loss of two disciples, he simply could not bear the thought of taking on a third, so he gave up on the idea of accepting any more disciples.
He devoted himself to passing on all his knowledge to Canaan.
Unexpectedly, even Canaan, who was already at the Nascent Soul stage, could not escape this calamity. Fortunately, his soul was still intact, and he could recreate a physical body for Canaan.
"A top-tier ghost cultivation technique?"
The Supreme Elder's thoughts changed immediately. Reconstructing the physical body was not easy; it was much more convenient than directly cultivating as a ghost.
Yes! Do you want some?
"want!"
The Supreme Elder handed over five storage rings at once.
"Is this enough for you, fellow Daoist?"
"That's enough."
Fang Ruotang scanned them one by one and smiled with satisfaction.
The reason she didn't mention taking Canaan in was because she knew Canaan's position in her master's heart. She wouldn't do anything like snatching people, mainly because people who are snatched aren't very useful.
She has no shortage of talent in sword cultivation.
The disciples of Canaan are completely different from those of Medicine King Valley and Tianyan Array Sect.
Fang Ruotang had already subdued the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, so she had no intention of recruiting sword cultivator disciples into the sect. Instead, she preferred to focus on acquiring resources and tangible benefits.
Fang Ruotang wasn't stingy either. In exchange for something, she gave Xun Zhu and the others a copy of the cultivation manual, and also gave one to Canaan. After the transaction was completed, she smiled again.
"Do you want to break through to the Mahayana stage? The safe and painless kind, but you have to show your support first. Let's see what you can offer. If you can impress me, I'll help you."
The Supreme Elder remained calm throughout, not daring to show much emotion even with his disciple in this state. Why? It was all for the sake of surviving.
But he couldn't hold back any longer. In his excitement, his magical artifacts malfunctioned, and a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar.
Fang Ruotang blinked, then looked at the Supreme Elder whose expression had changed drastically, and said with some sympathy, "You're about to undergo your tribulation, so I'm going to ask for an exorbitant price."
The Supreme Elder was taken aback; this was the first time he had ever met someone so upright and honest in his conduct.
Choosing to trust the other party in the moment meant emptying out almost all of one's savings accumulated over thousands of years.
In addition to the defensive magic items needed to withstand the upcoming tribulation, there are also some treasures that Canaan will need next.
Almost everything else was piled up in front of Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang looked at the neat and orderly arrangement of the items and shared the same feeling as the Supreme Elder.
This person is honest and decisive.
"Alright! I'll take this deal. You should be able to withstand the first few lightning tribulations without any problem. It would be best if you could try to withstand them yourself first, as it would also help temper your body."
"Hmm!" The Supreme Elder was very uneasy, but the die was cast, and he had no choice but to believe.
The sect leader of Qingyun Sect was more anxious and threatened Fang Ruotang.
"If you dare to play tricks on my junior uncle, our Qingyun Sect and your Tianyi Sect will fight to the death."
"Oh, you're in trouble. Your words have upset me. Do you see this?" Fang Ruotang pointed to the things the Supreme Elder had taken out and said, "If you want me to help you break through to the Mahayana stage in the future, prepare two of these. Otherwise, I won't help you."
You can have a little temper, but you can't turn away business that comes knocking on your door.
The sect leader of Qingyun Sect was dumbfounded.
Looking at what the Supreme Elder had taken out, and then at his own Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, he realized that this was on a completely different level.
The sect leader of Qingyun Sect, unaware that he was being led by the nose by Fang Ruotang, was already starting to worry that he didn't have enough magic treasures and spirit stones.
The tribulation clouds arrived quickly, and in an instant, the cultivators present all displayed their supernatural abilities, and one by one they quickly left the range of the tribulation clouds.
Fang Ruotang was the same. After all, if she didn't leave, Heaven wouldn't dare to strike her down with lightning. But once she left, Heaven was quick-witted and wanted to strike her dead in one fell swoop.
"Take it easy, don't kill him. I took his payment, and if he dies and I have to pay compensation, I'll never forgive you."
Fang Ruotang infused her spiritual power into her shout, and even the cultivators who had hidden far away for fear of being implicated heard it, and then everyone's eyes went wide open.
Just moments ago, Tiandao was so fierce that he wouldn't stop until he shattered the Supreme Elder into dust, but suddenly he transformed from a volatile man into a gentle girl.
Everyone felt that the Supreme Elder had made a very profitable deal. As for emptying his coffers, what did it matter? He was about to enter the Mahayana stage, so why would he be afraid of not having resources?
If you see something you like, just go and steal it.
They were all thinking that when they were about to break through to the Mahayana stage, they would also seek out Sect Master Fang of the Tianyi Sect, even though some disciples had only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
But who doesn't have dreams?
The sect leader of Qingyun Sect regretted it so much that he slapped himself in the face, thinking, "Serves you right for being so talkative! Now look what's happened! You've offended a senior, and your future looks bleak."
Fang Ruotang accepted the bribe and did the favor. She kept a close eye on the Supreme Elder, not daring to be careless in the slightest. After all, so many good things were already in her treasure bag, and she certainly couldn't take them out again.
So she didn't notice at all that in a corner behind her, someone was looking at her with resentful eyes, silently complaining.
Honestly, I wonder where this reclusive old monster came from, and how he's so favored by the Heavenly Dao. Could this person be an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, deliberately playing dumb to test them?
Fang Ruotang had no idea what extraordinary things the Qingyun Sect Master was imagining. By the time she found out, the matter had already spread.
Fang Ruotang didn't explain much about this. According to Xiao Jingzi, she was a more powerful being than the Heavenly Dao of this realm, which was why the Heavenly Dao was so subservient to her.
It's like she's the sixth young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion. If she goes out and pretends to be the sixth young lady's maid, would the maid blame the young lady instead?
No, she won't.
On the contrary, they would feel honored.
Of all the servants, why was she chosen? It's because she caught the eye of the young lady.
Fang Ruotang watched patiently for a while, until the defensive magic treasures on the Supreme Elder's body were cracked and he had no strength left, before she slowly walked over.
As soon as she stood beside the Supreme Elder, the fierce and dense thunder suddenly subsided.
