Chapter 806: Chapter 23: He Took the Money and Left

"Did the sparring partner fight back? How many people are there, where are they?" Yun Le’s eyes widened in surprise. Who dared to defy the rules of Jiuxiao Building? But that can’t be right; someone would stop them if they fought back. Besides, they’ve all been screened, and any experts from major sects or well-known loose cultivators would have been filtered out."

"Two elders, just one person. He didn’t fight back. It seems like he’s a body cultivator. After hitting him a few times, the opponent couldn’t stand it anymore. I suspect he has a strong rebound ability, somewhat like Vajra Hall’s Vajra Body. Ahem, he might even have Celestial Dragon Temple’s Indestructible Golden Body. He took them down one by one, and then I dared not let him spar any longer, so I had him settled the account and let him go. His name is Ren Yanli, a loose cultivator."

Yun Le and Yun Yu were taken aback. What kind of loose cultivator is he? Suddenly, they recalled that the loose cultivator they just let in seemed to be named this.

"Are you sure he didn’t fight back? Or did he use some dirty trick?" Yun Yu inquired.

"Elders, I’ve been in charge of this area for over ten years. My skills are average, but my judgment is reliable. This guy came to ruin the event; he’s capable enough to fight in the inner arena. Ordinary sect disciples are no match for him."

"Did he spend in the backyard?" Yun Yu asked.

"I arranged for two excellent lay disciples to try to engage him, but the guy ignored them and walked out directly." Que Mingyuan also felt frustrated; hardly anyone leaves Jiuxiao Building taking their money with them. After winning, people usually get very excited, and Jiuxiao Building has all kinds of attractions prepared to delight them."

Yun Yu thought for a moment, "Alright, just tidy up afterward. Don’t ruin our reputation."

"Yes, elder."

"Sis, didn’t I tell you? This guy is definitely up to something; where would a loose cultivator get anything good?" Yun Le frowned.

Cultivation is not easy, whether it’s the Zhengyang School or Taiyin School; they all have rules. Sects are all about rules, but loose cultivators are different; they don’t belong to any sects. Though some have rules, most do not. Some often engage in sneaky and shady activities for cultivation, but daring to mess with Jiuxiao Building is like a death wish."

"Though those people are not strong, it’s not easy to cause rebound damage. There must be something fishy here." Yun Yu pondered for a while, recalling the strange guy who wanted to go directly to the Martial Arts Arena.

"Sister, if we go on like this, our revenue this month will drop again. Returning to the sect seems out of reach. I don’t want to stay here a day longer—a bunch of lecherous people seem like they want to tear me apart." Yun Le said, pouting.

"You little girl, we have our own problem. If not handled well, and if the Young Sect Master comes, it’ll be more than just punishment for us." Yun Yu said, "Next time Ren Yanli comes, if I’m not around, just let him go straight to battle; no sparring."

"That guy, next time he comes, I’ll interrogate him. Is he intentionally causing trouble, making us lose so much money and bearing the consequences? If he’s intentionally damaging things, I’ll sort him out." Yun Le said angrily.

"Don’t be impulsive; this is not like being within the sect. There’re many people and things; be more patient. This is also part of cultivation, just observe." Yun Yu said.

Walking back to the Martial Heart Sect, Li Xin cheerfully weighed a bag of Lira after removing the leather cover. Earning this money was comfortable; he needed to come here more. The small treasury would gradually fill up. The Divine Land was so prosperous, he could earn more. First, pay back the money for the Guiyuan Pill; the Secret Item given by Miss Aries was very useful, seamless, with concealed abilities beyond scrutiny.

The prosperity and wealth of the Divine Land were beyond imagination. Situated in the heart of the Golden Sea, the power radiated over Moncalleta and Mosel. During his time in Hedan, he’d heard that the presence of the "Sea King" disrupts the dominance of Moncalleta and Mosel, making piracy rampant and trade flourishing. Some islands and forces followed the Sea King, who didn’t interfere as long as tributes were paid on time, offering protection.

Moncalleta and Mosel evidently were not convinced, but eventually had to submit, creating the current situation in the Golden Sea and allowing many secret forces, even the Death Church, to expand and develop extensively. Yet, they all unspokenly respect the "Sea King’s" rules.

This situation brought tremendous prosperity to the Golden Sea; trade was prevalent. As a pillar of the middle, the Divine Land naturally reaped abundant profits.

The Five Great Sanctuaries, with Secret Castle spiraling within the Spirit Realm, possessing immortal life and undying bodies, were forces none wished to provoke. Moreover, they provided opportunities for Divine Relic acquisition, earning them respect within Dao Yuan, and each sanctuary had its own path to survival, unable to exist in isolation. For instance, Withered Wood Monastery was affiliated with Moncalleta’s Royal Family and reached agreements with the Earth Mother Goddess Church, while the Divine Land chose a different path.

Li Xin had not been here long but already felt the strength of Peak Pool, one of the Five Great Sanctuaries. Externally, it aptly controlled the Golden Sea, leveraging two kingdoms, pirates, and secret organizations for maximum benefit while maintaining close relations with the Longjing Royal Family. Internally, special secret laws restrict growth while creating alarmingly formidable strength. The environment, brimming with Spiritual Energy, allowed for extensive Spiritual Ability research, decidedly unlike the outside world’s relentless pursuit of level enhancement. Joining the Celestial Destiny Sect enables one to unlock secret restraints; once emerged, they are rising stars.

Both Buqun and the Former Chief thrived outside, showcasing the peculiar situation. Many such individuals likely exist within the Divine Land. Frankly, it’s intimidating to contemplate what kind of laws can firmly bind these monsters, leading one to suspect this rests on the absolute authority of the State Lord.

Buqun and the Former Chief cut off others’ paths.

If it weren’t for secret law restrictions, releasing these people outside would likely double Li Long’s kingdom forces.

Returning to the sect, night had deepened, and only the sounds of birds and insects were around, truly harmonious.

This bit of money isn’t worth showing off; better save more, convert it to gleaming Gold Lira, and investigate the price of that Guiyuan Pill. Judging by Fang Chi’s resentment, the price might be substantial.

"He’s back, let’s move."

"What’s the rush? Seeing his smug expression, he must have enjoyed himself at Jiuxiao Building. He’s surely weak now; we should wait until he sleeps to make our move easier."

"Did you lay the Dream Gold Fragrance?"

"Of course, this brat is clever; I applied extra for double assurance, guaranteed to take him down."

Gan Jiu and Shi Dazhu silently set up their ambush; they won’t allow anyone else to reap the benefits.

In the dead of night, two silhouettes quietly crept into the room, their dagger and rod filled with Spiritual Ability but not overflowing, requiring considerable Spiritual Ability control as they simultaneously struck at the bed.
