Chapter 396: Faith Token

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Whether it was serving the Gu Yue Family for sixty years on his own or allowing Taiyi Sect to become a vassal of the Gu Yue Family, Meng Zhang wasn't very interested. Of course, he could feel Gu Yue Huaidie's goodwill and believed that it was indeed the best offer she could provide.

Unfortunately, Meng Zhang didn't wish to become a member of a cultivation family, so he could only politely refuse Gu Yue Huaidie's kind intentions. He didn't speak decisively and left some room for negotiation. However, if he couldn't find any other options and was left with no choice, he might have to reluctantly accept Gu Yue Huaidie's offer.

Gu Yue Huaidie didn't insist on Meng Zhang accepting her conditions. She said the doors of the Gu Yue Family would always be open for him. If Meng Zhang changed his mind, he could come back anytime, and the Gu Yue Family would always welcome him.

After bidding farewell to Gu Yue Huaidie, Meng Zhang didn't rush to leave Great Wind City. Through various neutral commercial organizations like the Four Seas Building, he inquired about the conditions for borrowing a Third Rank spirit vein from powers that possessed one. Eventually, he gathered enough information.

It turned out that Gu Yue Huaidie wasn't lying. The conditions offered by the Gu Yue Family were indeed the most generous. Even those who had always been close to the Gu Yue Family might not get such favorable terms. For instance, the Lu Family, another prominent Gold Core family in Great Wind City, demanded its borrowers of Third Rank spirit veins to serve them like slaves for almost their entire lives to repay the favor.

Other forces like Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect had even stricter conditions.

After learning all this, Meng Zhang gave up the idea of borrowing a Third Rank spirit vein from other powers. During his investigation, he also heard another piece of intriguing news. Ye Feifan, a somewhat infamous figure from the declining Ye Family in Great Wind City, had stolen a treasure from the Huang Family, killed several Huang Family cultivators, and fled the city with the help of some allies, possibly related to the Ghost Path cultivators.

People discussing this matter were astonished, as they had never expected Ye Feifan, a supposed waste, to have such abilities to cause such a huge loss to the Huang Family. It seemed that everyone had underestimated him, as he had hidden his true strength and acted inconspicuously.

Luo Ye had a close relationship with the black market, and with its vast influence, they should possess a Third Rank spirit vein.

Upon arriving at the black market in Great Wind City, Meng Zhang showed a small mirror about the size of a palm. This mirror was given to him by Jue Ying and used to maintain contact with her when they were in the Endless Sea of Sand. However, after Jue Ying left the Endless Sea of Sand, the distance became too great, and the communication function of the mirror was lost. Nevertheless, it remained a token of Jue Ying. In the Jiuqu League's territory, showing the mirror to the black market would enable them to contact Jue Ying.

Seeing the mirror, the subleader recognized its origin and became more respectful towards Meng Zhang. He asked Meng Zhang to wait for a moment and brought a senior executive from the black market to meet him.

The executive warmly received Meng Zhang and inquired about his relationship with Jue Ying. Meng Zhang casually brushed off the question and expressed his desire to contact Jue Ying. The executive's attitude was accommodating, and he didn't make Meng Zhang wait long before arranging the matter.

He informed Meng Zhang that Jue Ying was not currently in the vicinity of Great Wind City. However, he had relayed Meng Zhang's request to her. He asked Meng Zhang to wait in Great Wind City for about a month, and he would receive a response.

Understanding that patience was necessary, Meng Zhang agreed to wait and promised to return to the black market after a month to visit again.

While at the black market, Meng Zhang also took the opportunity to browse around and see if there was anything worth purchasing. With his current vision and strength, not many things caught his eye. Occasionally, there were one or two items that interested him, but their unclear origins most likely indicated that they were stolen goods. Meng Zhang didn't dare to rashly buy anything of dubious origin.

The executive was perceptive and realized the close relationship between Meng Zhang and Jue Ying. As a result, he offered some conveniences to Meng Zhang.
