At the White Cloud Sect.
Inside the main hall.
Cultivator Yunqiu stood at the center of the main hall with a serious face. He looked wise and mysterious.
Actually, he was only a Quasi-Saint. He was not an elder of the White Cloud Sect. He had status, but he was not someone who could boast.
However, he was as pleased as punch that day. He told the Sect Master and the elders of the White Cloud Sect to come see him with full confidence. He had something huge to share!
‘Today, I carry the news that will shock the entire White Cloud Sect. Today, I’m the coolest dude in the entire White Cloud Sect!
‘That’s how we do it. That’s how confident I am.’
A breeze slowly passed by. His robes and his hair blew with the wind. He was very flamboyant at that moment.
Then, a sudden movement appeared out of thin air. Several figures flashed by. They all landed in the main hall in the blink of an eye.
They were all wearing the White Cloud Sect standard Yin Yang Fish uniforms. They had white beards and white hair. They looked kind. They looked like cool cultivators.
However, they killed the vibe of cool cultivators when they spoke.
“Yunqiu, you called on us and swore it was important. What is it exactly?”
“I need you to know that my time’s very precious. We’re responsible for the well-being of the Chaos. If you can’t give us a satisfactory answer, prepare to be punished!”
“Yunqiu, don’t tell me that you did this out of a whim.”
Cultivator Yunqiu touched his beard. He smiled and said, “Sect Master, Master, elders, I naturally have huge news. Also… Don’t worry. I promise that it’ll be groundbreaking!”
The Master of Cultivator Yunqiu had to rush him, “Enough. You’re so immature for someone your age. Stop giving us cliffhangers, hurry up and tell us.”
Cultivator Yunqiu adjusted his emotions. He was about to tell them. Suddenly, there was a burst of maniacal laughter coming from outside. It got closer. A figure appeared in a flash.
It was the old cultivator that brought along the young cultivator.
He was surprised at first. Then, he was more excited than usual. He stumbled and said, “Yo, everyone’s here. Good, I was just about to share some exciting news with everyone!”
The Sect Master asked curiously, “Yunhua, you have good news, too?”
Cultivator Yunhua smirked and said, “Ha. I brought my student along for a field trip to defeat Demons. Unexpectedly, we ran into two huge events!”
“Oh? Tell us about it.”
“First of all, I ran into the legendary Deluxe Merit Saint. His Deluxe Merit is huge and blinding! The rumors are true. He has Deluxe Merit Flesh in the Area of the Gods!” exclaimed Cultivator Yunhua.
The Sect Master nodded. Then, he shook his head, “This is indeed important news. But, you overreacted. The White Cloud Sect is always full of cultivation experts. As cultivation experts, we can’t overreact. You have to train your mentality!”
“Sect Master, I hope that you can still say that when you find out about the second news.” Cultivator Yunhua took a deep breath. He slowly opened his palm.
“Ha. Yeah, right. My mentality isn’t something you can question…”
The Sect Master snickered with pride. He calmly looked at Cultivator Yunhua’s palm. He choked on his words as he widened his eyes. He looked like he could not breathe, like he might faint.
The other elders also focused on his palm. Their beards simultaneously stood on ends.
The Sect Master was the first one to revert to normal. He purposefully asked with curiosity, “Huh? Orange peel? Why did you bring this back to the Sect? Perhaps something’s different about this peel? Let me take a closer look.”
He reached out for the orange peel.
Cultivator Yunhua flinched away. He snickered and said, “Sect Master, stop acting. This is the fruit peel of a Chaos Spiritual Fruit! I tasted a small piece on the way here. The flavor, yummy… You can’t imagine how happy I am.”
The others were instantly jealous. They all gulped. They were so envious of him. They were about to beg for some.
Cultivator Yunhua raised his hand again. He said, “Look. What’s this?”
“Gasp— It’s a…full Banana peel!”
“Such a big piece of fruit peel from a Chaos Spiritual Fruit!”
“Luxurious. This is so luxurious!”
“Where did you get such a treasure like that? Perhaps from a secret border in the Area of the Gods?”
Cultivator Yunhua smiled and said, “Ha. You won’t believe this. I was blessed with Luck. I was walking on the road. Then, these treasures fell on my head!”
Everyone thought it was incredible. “For real?”
The Sect Master grabbed Cultivator Yunhua. He was genuinely touched. “Yunhua, good one! You found these treasures for the sect. I’ll order someone to make a flag for you to praise your contributions! Amazing, you’re a hero!”
Cultivator Yunhua’s mouth twitched as he said, “Sect Master, let’s be realistic here. I’ll only give you the Orange peel.”
“Deal!”
Everyone gathered around Cultivator Yunhua. They argued until they were flushed for a piece of the Orange peel. Cultivator Yunqiu had to feel superior. He cleared his throat and said with arrogance, “Tis but a fruit peel from a Chaos Spiritual Fruit. You guys haven’t seen anything yet. So poor!”
The Master of Cultivator Yunqiu immediately scolded him, “Yunqiu, don’t say that! Jealousy has twisted you.”
‘I was about to get an Orange peel from Yunhua. Why did you stir the pot? Wait until I get the fruit peel.’
“Master, you want an Orange peel. Why do you have to beg like that?”
Cultivator Yunqiu instantly felt generous. He raised his arm and swiped out a full Orange peel. He generously gave it to his Master. “Master, this is for you!”
‘This… This is also a fruit peel from a Chaos Spiritual Fruit?!’
Everyone was stunned.
The Master of Cultivator Yunqiu was so excited that his beard and eyebrows were quivering. His face was wrinkled from smiling. He hurriedly accepted the fruit peel and said, “My beloved student. You’re truly my beloved student!”
Truthfully, Cultivator Yunqiu was about to cry when he looked at the fruit peel he was going to give away.
‘Boohoo, I don’t want to give it away!
‘But, I have to. I have to endure my tears to be arrogant.’
Cultivator Yunqiu raised his hand again. “Look. What’s this?”
Everyone nervously looked. They instantly felt their hearts race. Their scalps felt numb.
Cultivator Yunqiu was holding half of an unpeeled Orange!
“This…this…this…”
“This is a Chaos Spiritual Fruit. The real deal Chaos Spiritual Fruit!”
“Let me smell it, let me smell it…”
“May I lick it please?”
Everyone was immediately exhilarated.
However, they soon calmed down. They realized how important it was. They went serious.
The Sect Master struggled to look away from the Orange. He asked with seriousness, “Yunqiu, what’s going on?”
“I gathered everyone here to tell you a matter of utmost importance!”
Cultivator Yunqiu never looked that serious before. Everyone felt nervous. They held their breaths. They felt like what they were about to hear next would be something unimaginably important.
“Yunhua, you said you saw the Deluxe Merit Saint. Actually… These Chaos Spiritual Fruits are from that Deluxe Merit Saint! He left those fruit peels.”
Cultivator Yunqiu did not wait for anyone to ask questions. He continued to say, “I went to the Xia Kingdom this time. I, fortunately, befriended the Deluxe Merit Saint. You guys can’t even imagine it. He’s so…fearfully respectable!”
Everyone could tell that Yunqiu meant it from the heart. He was not joking at all. They were all curious as to who would make Cultivator Yunqiu react like that.
The Sect Master said, “Yunqiu, please, tell us your story in detail!”
Cultivator Yunqiu nodded. He had mixed emotions in his gaze. His voice was shaky. He slowly told the story, “The Deluxe Merit Saint sounds powerful, right? But it’s only his puny little character disguise…”
The entire main hall was only filled with the voice of Cultivator Yunqiu. Everyone else listened attentively. They were gradually shocked. They had goosebumps.
In the end, they could only gasp to calm down.
Gasp—
The Master of Cultivator Yunqiu asked in disbelief, “He uses Chaos Spiritual Water to wash his face. He treats Chaos Spiritual Fruits like ordinary fruits. He has Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals as his butler and his wives. What kind of Godly existence is that? Are you sure you’re not making it up?”
“Master, that Orange is the fruit he used to treat me as a guest. I didn’t dare to eat much. I just ate an apple and half an orange. I brought back the other half.”
His Master pursed his lips. “My beloved student, your placement of ‘just’ in that sentence is so well-used!”
“In that case, I’m afraid this man’s beyond our imaginations!”
The Sect Master was utterly serious. He groaned for a moment and said, “Get ready, everyone. Gather the army. We have to prepare to get rid of the Ghastly Ghost King.”
All the elders were taken aback. “Sect Master, you…”
The Sect Master said, “You all heard Yunqiu. The expert expressed distaste for the Resentful Ghosts. He’s trying to hint at us to do a task! If the expert has to say it out loud, the White Cloud Sect will never work for the expert again!”
“You’re right, Sect Master. But the White Cloud Sect just started in the Area of the Gods. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get rid of the Ghastly Ghost King.”
“No buts! Just do it! This is the expert’s intention. It’s a huge opportunity for the White Cloud Sect! Moreover, the Ghastly Ghost King causes havoc anyway. It’s our righteous duty to get rid of evil forces!”
