Ao Rong heard Lou Mu Yan’s question, then saw her wink at him and almost vomited blood. Could he pretend to faint right now?
“H-Haha, uh, how could you have offended Ancestor?” Ao Rong said with a fake smile: “Ancestor can’t even begin to like you enough, how could he blame you.”
He really didn’t expect this damned girl to be so bold and wanted to even extort Ancestor Yu Chan—and even drag him into it.
“Little Lou girl, do you want high-level Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Fruits from me?” Ancestor Yu Chan looked at her in amusement and asked.
It was the first time in so many years that he had met such a bold pupil within the Sect—he thought it was very interesting.
“No! How dare I ask Ancestor for something.” Lou Mu Yan smile sweetly.
Then the thread of discussion changed and she said regretfully: “I originally wanted to brew some more high-level Spiritual Wine to honour Ancestor, but it’s a pity that even a ‘clever wife wouldn’t be able to cook without rice’, so I have to wait until I find some high-level Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Fruits to brew it.”
“…” Ao Rong and the several Elders twitched the corners of their lips. This move of ‘advancing by retreating’ sure was well played.
“Alright, you can stop acting in front of me. If you want some high-level Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Fruits, just write it down and this old man will find it for you.”
Ancestor Yu Chan looked at her with a half-smile and said: “But this old man wants to drink the Spiritual Wine brewed from Millennium-Old Royal Jelly, I believe you can do it right, little girl?”
Ao Rong and the several Elders just knew that Ancestor Yu Chan wasn’t so easy to fool, but he sure could open his mouth to ask for Millennium-Old Royal Jelly.
However, the several people also watched the conversation between the two with great interest. The calculative fight between a little fox and a smiling tiger sure was entertaining.
Lou Mu Yan blinked, then smiled innocently: “How dare I deceive Ancestor. No problem, in order to honour Ancestor, I will definitely obtain Millennium-Old Royal Jelly.”
She didn’t hide the purpose of extorting Ancestor Yu Chan. The more scheming she was in front of these old fellows, it would actually cause more disgust, so she understood when was enough and expressed her thoughts so far.
“Alright. This old man will wait for your Honey Wine.” Ancestor Yu Chan smiled merrily, then immediately curbed his smile and said seriously: “But for now, don’t waste your energy on these things and just prepare well for the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition.”
“Pupil obeys.” Lou Mu Yan replied.
Then she used her Mental Energy to print a list of Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Fruits on a jade slip and handed it to Ancestor Yu Chan.
“Do you still have any Blood Sac Wine and Honey Wine on you?” Ancestor Yu Chan asked.
Lou Mu Yan consciously took out more than ten jugs of Spiritual Wine from her interspatial ring and said: “I brewed this wine a while back, if Ancestor likes it, then please take it to drink.”
Ancestor Yu Chan liked this kind of clever and understanding pupil. He put away the Spiritual Wine in front of him, then with a flick of his finger, he gifted a Peak-Quality Saint Treasure to Lou Mu Yan.
“This Saint Treasure can be considered a meeting gift to you, you can take it.”
Lou Mu Yan grabbed the stream of light in front of her, then put it away without being formal, “Thank Ancestor for your reward.”
It would be a waste not to take it, and what Ancestor Yu Chan gifted was a defence-type Saint Treasure armour, which was still rather useful and precious to her right now.
“Use the next month to improve your strength.” Ancestor Yu Chan smiled, and his figure gradually faded and disappeared in the stone house.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were filled with surprise. The person just now was actually a clone. He sure deserved to be a Sword Deity level powerhouse—the Secret Method used was so flawless.
“You damned girl want to scare people to death!” Ao Rong glared at Lou Mu Yan angrily after Ancestor Yu Chan left, “To even extort the smiling tiger Ancestor Yu Chan, you’re so bold.”
“Even if I want to extort you, do you have Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Fruits for me?” Lou Mu Yan teased.
Ao Rong chocked—he was a Smith, so he naturally didn’t have many Spiritual Herbs or Spiritual Fruits, “None.”
“Then that’s that. Isn’t an Ancestor used for extorting? Who else could he blame when he’s rolling in money, any crack in his finger will leak a treasure.” Lou Mu Yan smiled mischievously.
“That’s true, as expected, little girl, you have foresight.” Ao Rong nodded in agreement. Should he also learn from this damned girl to extort when he meets those people in the future?
“…”
The Elders of the five Pagodas twitched the corners of this lips with fine sweat on their foreheads. Was it really alright for these two people to say such outrageous words in front of them? Why did they also think it made sense though…
“Little Lou girl, I’m the Guardian Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda.” The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda leaned in front of Lou Mu Yan with a smile and asked: “How about you exchange some Blood Sac Wine and Honey Wine with me?”
Lou Mu Yan knew that these old fellows were also very rich, so since they sent themselves to her door, then she supposes she could extort them.
Either way, there were still a lot of Spiritual Wine she brewed, and the resources used were all self-produced and sold, so it basically didn’t cost much Spiritual Stones.
“Sure! But I wonder what Elders will use to exchange?”
“How about a Grade 4 pill?” The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda asked.
A Grade 4 pill still had great use to Lou Mu Yan, so he believed she would probably agree.
Lou Mu Yan laughed dryly and said: “Elder, I also have Grade 4 pills, how about turning them into Spiritual Stones?”
“You lack Spiritual Stones?” Ao Rong remembered that last time, this damned girl only just sold more than one hundred thousand Spiritual Stones worth of pills and Magic Tools, but now she’s screaming poor.
Lou Mu Yan nodded, “I lack, I lack everything, especially Spiritual Stones and contribution points, I lack the most.”
“…” The several Elders held their foreheads, secretly thinking that this girl and Ao Rong sure were the same type of people—both liking to take advantage of what’s given to them.
“The Sect’s contribution points can’t be given to you from us, so let’s exchange with Spiritual Stones.”
In the Sect, not only did the pupils need to spend contribution points to cultivate, but the Elders also needed to spend contribution points, but they were different, so they couldn’t be transferred onto each other’s identity jade tablets.
Lou Mu Yan also wasn’t polite and accepted the Spiritual Stones from them, then took out quite a bit of Spiritual Wine to exchange.
She now terribly lacked Spiritual Stones. In the Taming Pagoda, she saw a record in a Secret Classic that if she wanted to quickly cultivate a swarm of Scarlet Bees, then using Spiritual Stones to raise them was the best.
After exchanging with the several Elders, Ao Rong sent Lou Mu Yan out from the Secret Area and had the cheek to want a lot of Spiritual Wine from her.
But when they parted, Ao Rong stuffed her with five small, different coloured balls sealed by Elemental Energy, “This is the Pagodas of Enlightenment’s Pagoda Spirit’s Force. You can take it back to refine it and it would be of great benefit to you.”
Lou Mu Yan also vaguely guessed the wondrous effect of the Pagoda Spirit’s Force, so she said with some gratitude: “Thank you Elder Ao for your trouble!”
Although she was dug over by Ao Rong to the Eight Extremes Sect, but she was willing, so he didn’t owe her anything. However, he still took really good care of her and protected her, so she remembered this favour in her heart.
“Why’re you so polite to me, girl?” Ao Rong said with a smile: “Just give me a few more jugs of Spiritual Wine that you brew in the future.”
“Alright!”
Afterwards, Ao Rong teleported Lou Mu Yan to the outside of the Sect. After wandering around for a day, he brought her back to the Sect and also deliberately let many pupils see it.
It was told to the public that Lou Mu Yan had comprehended for a month, then followed Elder Ao Rong out to do a mission. This was, in fact, also done for the spies hidden in the Sect.
There were still a small number of people who didn’t believe this statement, and Di Shi Tian was one of them.
