Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 239 - 216 Patrol and Teasing

"A large-scale teleportation array?"

In the darkness, someone let out a snort of laughter.

This was somewhere in the marketplace, where two Golden Core cultivators were sitting together, discussing what Meng Yu had said.

In the Western Wastes, Golden Cores were scarce; one Golden Core could establish a sect, and two Golden Cores could completely dominate a territory. If it got out that there were two Golden Cores gathered here, the Moon-Watching Sect would definitely be extremely anxious.

Meng Yu’s premonition wasn’t wrong—there really were people preparing to kill him. But having the thought and taking action were entirely different things.

The battle between Golden Cores was easy to win, but to trap and kill the opponent was extremely difficult one-on-one, and it wasn’t much easier two against one. They also worried about the power backing Meng Yu.

However, when Meng Yu mentioned the large-scale teleportation array today, they laughed.

Meng Yu had always claimed he came from overseas, but the cultivators of the Western Wastes had explored in all directions for hundreds of thousands of years. If there were any large groups overseas, they would have been discovered long ago.

Many people suspected that at most behind Meng Yu was a hidden family with some savings, but with limited strength. They had a Minor World and made it seem all mysterious on purpose. As for Divinity Transformation... if there really was a True God Transforming Master, they would have swept through the Western Wastes long ago, so why bother with Meng Yu’s trouble?

Everyone was observing Meng Yu. Today, upon hearing about the large-scale teleportation array, they felt Meng Yu had slipped up. Discover stories at novelbuddy

There was only one sect in the world capable of constructing a large-scale teleportation array. Just the customization process alone would take over ten years, not to mention the vast number of spirit stones and other fees required. Meng Yu was fooling people.

"Meng Yu has descended the mountain. Should we change the target of our action?"

This time, the two of them had blended into the marketplace intending to rob it, but as it turned out, they encountered the current situation where Meng Yu had actually come down from the mountain.

Robbing the marketplace, how could that compare to kidnapping Meng Yu? Not to mention the treasures on him, capturing him would definitely allow them to extort many valuable things.

"Let’s not rush it, wait until they leave the marketplace before making a move," said the leading Golden Core.

Four little fox girls came out of Meng Yu’s room and then saw Hua Miaochai standing in the yard. They quickly sidled up to her with fawning faces.

"Sect Master is good, Sect Master, is there anything you need to restock? The marketplace has all sorts of things. How about you make a list and we’ll bring them up to you?"

For some reason, after getting the tail, Hu Qingquan chased the four little fox girls out, which made them quite disappointed as they ran out. But they still wanted to stay here to see if there was anything they could help with.

Hua Miaochai’s expression wasn’t too good. She twirled the Five Elements Peach Blossom Umbrella, and the four little foxes were sent out of the trajectory.

Then, she stood in the middle of the yard, motionless.

...

Half an hour later, Hu Qingquan came out of Meng Yu’s room, holding a box respectfully and bowing to Hua Miaochai.

In the past half-hour, she had been speaking softly and chatting with Meng Yu.

She had bared her heart to Meng Yu, describing some details of the marketplace, her feelings, and even some talk that could easily offend people.

Their question-and-answer session, especially the financial issues Meng Yu brought up, made her even more submissive, and also brought her closer to Meng Yu. There was an ambiguous air in the room.

Then, Meng Yu asked her to leave again. This time she bowed down reverently as before, but with her tail pointed up, she wagged it vigorously, and then left.

She took a deep look at Hua Miaochai before leaving.

...

Meng Yu stayed in the marketplace for three days.

The second day, Hu Qingquan fitted the new tail.

Over the years, she had spent a lot of spirit stones and sought many people for the treatment of her tail, but to no avail. She never expected that Meng Yu’s medicine would cure her ailment. Upon seeing her current appearance, countless people became intrigued.

The grace of a lord need not be concealed. Hu Qingquan carefully told everyone how good her lord had been to her, and how a Grade Five Sage had crafted a perfect tail for her out of the void.

After examining by the marketplace’s divine physician, it was declared that Meng Yu’s elder’s methods were indeed miraculous. Hu Qingquan’s new tail was a true masterpiece, something only a Grade Five Sage could accomplish — mending flesh and bone. He even asked Hua Miaochai if he could trouble Sect Master Meng to help a friend who had lost a right arm.

It wasn’t just one person who made this request; several people asked.

After Foundation Establishment, regrowing a limb wasn’t difficult, but many people’s wounds contained foreign objects, poisons, or even remnants of curses, making them difficult or impossible to clear, and over long delays, they became chronic problems.

Hu Qingquan said, "I can mention it to the Sect Master, but such a request may not be appropriate. After all, do you think it’s easy for a Grade Five Sage to make a move? Sect Master Meng himself said this was a Moon-Watching Sect benefit, didn’t he?"

On the third day, Hu Qingquan ran to Meng Yu again to report on the installation status of her fox tail and to let Meng Yu check it for any problems.

What she did wasn’t seduction, but an expression of loyalty.

After weathering countless storms, she knew how rare it was to have a benefactor with a conscience; competition among these people was extremely fierce. Possessing a False Core was not at all unusual; with just a shout, the Moon-Watching Sect could gather a dozen or more Golden Cores, maybe even more, at a moment’s notice.

Bai Qianqian’s pregnancy was actually a good thing.

...

Three days later, Meng Yu visited the second Marketplace and met another Outer Sect elder of the Moon-Watching Sect, a Female Swordsman with an extraordinary demeanor but who was maimed.

When the Moon-Watching Sect was besieged, many went out to help, including this Female Swordsman. Dragging her weary body, she selected several strongholds in the Five Directions Tower several times and was ready to trade life for life with the enemy.

After the battle was won, she refused to go up the mountain and said she would manage this Marketplace. "If one day I give in to demonic possession or become a demon, it won’t at least harm all of you."

This half-crippled Female Swordsman was being tormented by the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber to the point of desiring life and death.

Alright, Bai Qianqian associated mostly with women, although there were men too, but that was a different group, and it often got blown up.

As for why all of them were disabled, intellectually disabled, cowards... Of course, a normal Golden Core would do well; how could they end up with Bai Qianqian as part of the Waste Material Alliance, and then hide in the Western Wastes? If not, they would have stayed in the Central Plains where there were many more opportunities.

This Female Swordsman was named Song Wuqiu. She chased a Devil Cultivator to the Western Wastes and, although she killed the cultivator, she was hit by their Blood Transmutation Divine Saber. Eventually, Bu Shixian picked her up and threw her to a rabbit to see if it had any way to help her.

Bai Qianqian used the Long River Nine Bends Array to cleanse her for ten years, fed her Spirit Fruits and Vegetables for ten years, and barely managed to save her life. But that also transformed her from a blossoming Female Golden Core to a person looking like a skeleton.

Her attitude was neither good nor bad. The good part was that she was very polite. The bad part was that she seemed somewhat disheartened. She told Meng Yu she was about to give up. The power of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber was too great and she was preparing to return to the Central Plains—not for treatment but to die in her hometown.

"You’ll need to find someone suitable for the Marketplace affairs quickly. I can probably hold on for another year, after that, I have to go home. Also, be kinder to Qian Qian. She loves you wholeheartedly. The others, like Hu Qingquan that foxy sly one, heh."

The Female Swordsman’s bearing was extremely refined; one could see the beauty she possessed in her prime. It’s a pity that her body was as thin as a skeleton, her vital energy was nearly exhausted, and her mouth wasn’t kind.

Alright... Meng Yu couldn’t understand how Bai Qianqian got to know and gather this group of failures. Perhaps it was because of the Spirit Fruits and Vegetables and Bai Qianqian’s kind heart. Anyone who came to the Moon-Watching Sect could eat Spirit Fruits and Vegetables and join in the mutual complaints, like a tea club. When people stay long enough, they develop feelings for each other.

After all, there were free seeds to munch on while chatting (Spirit Fruits and Vegetables) and a rabbit to bully.

"I don’t like your attitude."

Meng Yu’s voice was a bit unhappy.

"You might want to ask around, see what attitude Hu Qingquan has. And you... never pay for eating the Spirit Fruits and Vegetables, never help the Moon-Watching Sect with farming, but you’re braver than anyone else when it comes to fighting, all arrogant. Do you think it’s such a great accomplishment to form your Golden Pill of Achievement at ninety-six?"

"Ah, compared to Sect Master Meng, such a genius, I’m not worth being proud of."

Song Wuqiu retorted without hesitation, "You’ll probably form your Golden Pill of Achievement at around sixty, but what does pride have to do with age?"

Alright, Meng Yu certainly knew that Bai Qianqian’s friends all had various problems. Take the first one, Hu Qingquan, who seemed as if the profession of a female secretary and accountant had seeped into her soul. Seeing Meng Yu, she automatically treated him like a boss, which bemused Meng Yu. He wondered how she worked in a Sect in the Central Plains.

Oh right, her thigh was also a woman’s.

According to Bai Qianqian, this Female Sword Immortal was actually a very good person, just with an unkind mouth. But as long as you were kind to her, she would remember it.

"Hmph, with you like this, what’s the difference between you and a monkey? Going back to your hometown, old and frail, looking like a skeleton, Cultivation dwindling, you’re likely to die on the road. If you’re lucky enough to make it back and then run into some old enemies or friends, they wouldn’t even need to kill you, just put you in a cage, and parade you around, showing off what the Female Swordsman has become."

Meng Yu’s words made Song Wuqiu almost bite her teeth to pieces.

She admitted she wasn’t in a good mood, but...

With a wave of his hand, Meng Yu tossed a box into her hands.

"Inside is something that can heal your injuries."

Meng Yu had discussed with Bai Qianqian what help the Immortal Sect could offer to the Moon-Watching Sect. One of them was the Immortal Sect’s excellent medical team and help for Bai Qianqian’s infirm sisters.

A ten-thousand-year cycle of war and peace had advanced the medical skills of the Immortal Sect rapidly, and many conditions thought incurable in the Western Wastes could be treated by the Immortal Sect.

"Ah?"

The Female Swordsman broke the seal of the talisman on the box and inside there was a gleaming wooden accessory.

Bits of the Verdant Qi of Yi Wood shimmered on it, steadying the blood energy in her body considerably, even seeming to suppress the rampant Blood Transmutation Divine Saber.

"Last time I went back, I sought advice from my seniors. The Blood Transmutation Divine Saber is powerful, but it’s not beyond hope. I have six Wooden Talismans here; you take one and use it first."

The Immortal Sect had fought the Blood God Sect for many years, creating a complete treatment protocol for the horrifying Blood Transmutation Divine Saber.

"Six Wooden Talismans?"

The Female Swordsman paused and looked at the one in her hand.

She suddenly felt a bit regretful.
