79: Chapter 79 The Poor Hundred Flowers Sect!

"The Hundred Flowers Sect is truly pitiful. Not long ago, their Old Ancestor, the Dao Foundation Master, passed away... and then they encountered a Spirit Demon Storm!"

"The Great Black Heaven Mother Buddha Sect launched a blood sacrifice, and it just so happened to be a city protected by the Hundred Flowers Sect!"

"Not only that, but the Hundred Flowers Sect's dojo, the Hundred Flowers Oasis known as the Little Oasis, had its vitality drained overnight."

"As a result, dozens of the Hundred Flowers Sect's Immortal Cultivators were left without a place to go and unable to cultivate!"

"They had no choice but to seek another way!"

"That isn't even the most difficult part... The most difficult part is that these women sought help from the Second-Rank Yang Family."

"This Second-Rank family was originally on good terms with the Hundred Flowers Sect's Old Ancestor, so they thought they could rely on that relationship to overcome their difficulties!"

"Little did they know, the Yang Family had long coveted the Hundred Flowers Sect. They had even heard that the current Sect Leader, Sect Leader Hua Yun, was a rare beauty, and evil intentions arose in their hearts."

"They wanted to take her for themselves."

"Taking advantage of someone in distress, they really took it to the extreme!"

Wang Teng continued speaking.

"However, being a noble family... it's unlikely it's just for her beauty... This Hundred Flowers Sect Leader, Sect Leader Hua Yun, is a Cultivator with a variant Spiritual Root... She is naturally attuned to Earth and Wood attributes."

"The Third-Rank Heaven and Earth treasure that the Hundred Flowers Sect's Old Ancestor consumed before passing away was cultivated by Sect Leader Hua Yun using her own essence blood!"

"It is quite formidable!"

"Furthermore... this Physique can be passed down to the next generation."

"The Second-Rank Yang Family doesn't have much support in the Immortal path, so they probably have designs on that!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded, but frowned and said.

"About this matter... why didn't you tell me?"

Seeing this, Wang Teng looked aggrieved.

"My Lord..."

"Hmm?"

"Are you getting arrogant?"

"Ah?"

"This is a dispute between a Second-Rank family and Immortal Cultivators... and there are other covetous Immortal Cultivators and families involved."

"Our Qinghe Town is just a tiny place, with only three thousand or so commoners and over two hundred Dao Soldiers."

"Getting involved in this kind of thing, isn't that just courting death?"

"Besides... My Lord, haven't you already taken a wife?"

"Aren't you afraid..."

Shen Yi coughed and subconsciously touched the mark on his brow.

The mark was cool, carrying a hint of chill.

He coughed twice.

"What are you saying? Am I that kind of lecher?"

"I just have my eye on the Hundred Flowers Sect's abilities!"

Wang Teng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Right... How could I not have thought of that? The Hundred Flowers Sect's lineage is naturally attuned to Wood, which is quite important in the Sanchuan Sand Sea."

"My Lord has obtained the Spiritual Vein, but with only the commoners and Xu Erniang, it's hard to take care of everything."

"If any treasures are obtained from the blind boxes, it would also be beneficial for the development of Qinghe Town."

"It was my shallow thinking."

Shen Yi nodded.

"It's good that you know..."

"But My Lord... I still think it's better to get less involved in this kind of thing."

"Isn't it just calling for backup... If they can do it, why can't we?"

"I want to see what treasures they have!"

"...Very well!"

...

The marketplace was crowded.

Many Loose Cultivators, martial artists, and Immortal Sect Cultivators were hiding in Taiping County.

The Spirit Demon Storms gathered, and the demon creatures that condensed from them were somewhat valuable.

For Loose Cultivators, this was a significant Opportunity.

For Immortal Sect Cultivators, it could also temper their own Dao practice!

For martial artists and Immortal Dynasty officials, it could also be considered a modest encounter!

Some had even come from Taihe Prefecture and Qingtian Prefecture, which were deeper inside Taiping County.

It could be said to be a long journey.

These Loose Cultivators rarely came to the Sanchuan Sand Sea, so naturally, they were somewhat curious!

And the place with the most people was a stall.

This stall was quite strange.

There was no table; only several graceful figures in green robes were sitting cross-legged.

Absorbing the thin Spiritual Qi in the marketplace!

And at the very front, a female Cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining had a sorrowful expression, her face weathered by the elements.

But she could not hide the determination on her face.

She was born with a delicate and noble beauty, her hair coiled up and tied with a hairpin.

The sideburns hanging down were a bit disheveled, and as the wind blew, it gave off a feeling of... pity.

It was as if a noble lady who had been pampered all her life had fallen into the mortal world!

It made everyone present salivate!

Some were just there for the show, while others had eyes full of lust.

But due to the rules of the marketplace, no one dared to make a move!

A vacant space formed in front of the stall. In this empty space, a Young Master dressed in brocade with a powdered face and greasy hair was unscrupulously scanning the female Cultivator at the front.

His words were respectful, but his eyes were frivolous.

"Sect Leader Hua Yun... why must you be like this?"

"The Hundred Flowers Sect only has these few assets left; this is the key to the Hundred Flowers Sect's resurgence... If we disagree, we can still be friends!"

"My Yang Family also possesses a Spiritual Vein, which can be provided for you female Cultivators to practice!"

"Why must you keep people at a distance?"

"It's just a few conditions, a win-win situation."

"My Yang Family will protect you, and your Hundred Flowers Sect... just needs to arrange marriages with the young talents of my Yang Family."

"It's not like I'm saying all of you...?"

"Why must you destroy both sides!"

The female Cultivators behind her opened their eyes, their gazes filled with anger... It seemed they hadn't expected the person in front of them to be so shameless!

But due to their upbringing, they didn't say any insulting words.

They just stared at the man.

The man felt no shame, but instead took pride in it!

"Furthermore, Sect Leader Hua Yun, whether in Taiping County or Wanping County, my Second-Rank Yang Family has some standing."

"As long as I stand here... no one will dare to cross me."

"With the Hundred Flowers Sect's current strength, I'm afraid you won't even make it to Pingyang Prefecture."

"It would be better to... submit to my Yang Family."

"And join in matrimony!"

Hua Yun finally couldn't endure the man's shamelessness, but she didn't dare to offend him too much. She could only take a deep breath and say coldly.

"Young Master Yang Wei's intentions... the Hundred Flowers Sect accepts them with gratitude."

"But the Hundred Flowers Sect has an ancestral rule: we will never submit to anyone."

"If there is mutual affection, the Hundred Flowers Sect will naturally make the decision for them..."

"But if it's like Young Master Yang Wei... even if the entire Hundred Flowers Sect were to drop dead tomorrow."

"We would not agree!"

"If we were to agree, the many ancestors in our Ancestral Master Hall would probably die with regrets!"

"Moreover... Young Master Yang Wei, instead of pestering us here, you might as well find a master of medicine."

"To treat the hidden illness on your body."

Once these words were spoken, the crowd burst into laughter.

There were naturally Cultivators from Wanping County present, who naturally knew what she meant.

Subsequently, a rumor gradually spread among the crowd!

A flash of anger crossed Yang Wei's eyes. Being insulted like this in public.

If he didn't fight back, wouldn't it ruin his own reputation... his own name?

He immediately put on a cold face and said with a sinister voice.

"Giving you face, and you don't want it..."

"I want to see... who dares to do business with you today!!!"

...

"Where are the blind boxes?"

"Where are they!"

"Don't push... stop pushing... if you're not buying, can't you get out of the way!"
