Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely - Chapter 423 - Divine Fire Sect

The Divine Fire Sect was located in a remote area. It was originally a very inconspicuous sect. The cultivators here mainly cultivated fire-attribute cultivation techniques. The most troublesome thing was their unpredictable fire-attribute puppet technique.

“Speaking of which, the puppet technique of the Divine Fire Sect is just a coincidence.”

“It’s too kind to say that it’s a coincidence. Their ancestors were a group of thieves. They stole the puppet technique of others’ proud work and took it for themselves. That’s why there’s their faction. It’s not honorable if word gets out.”

Li Yuanqing asked for clues about the red-haired ghost and encountered two cultivators on the way.

One of them was called Shi Datou and the other was called Zhao Shaoji.

!!

Shi Datou was not talking about his head, but the sledgehammer in his hand.

Shi Datou especially liked to show off his treasures. This Heavenly Star Hammer was his reliance and he had talked about it with Li Yuanqing a lot along the way. He said that he had relied on this Heavenly Star Hammer to defeat a second-grade Supremacy as a first-grade Supremacy.

Speaking of which, the situation was extremely critical at that time. His enemy was aggressive and wanted to crush him into meat paste.

However, who knew that he would suddenly master the Heavenly Star Hammer at that time? He used the hammer to perfection and hit his enemy. He was caught off guard and his head was bleeding as he fled in panic.

Zhao Shaoji used a spear in one hand. His figure was agile and his footwork was outstanding.

After Li Yuanqing got together with the two of them, he probed, trying to get more information about the Divine Fire Sect from the two of them.

The two of them were not stingy at all. When they saw that Li Yuanqing was so interested in the red-haired ghost, they revealed everything without hiding anything.

“Those bastards can be said to have done all kinds of bad things, but their luck is at the top.” As Shi Datou spoke, he punched the tree beside him heavily, leaving an inch-thick pit.

Zhao Shaoji sat on a huge rock at the side. The three of them were resting here for a while. They would be heading to their destination later, less than ten miles ahead.

There was a newly built market there. The organizer of this market was the Divine Fire Sect.

For some special reasons, the Divine Fire Sect had expanded greatly. Some time ago, they had plundered all kinds of natural treasures from the outside, most of which were fire-attribute materials.

After accumulating to a certain extent, their reputation also grew. As their reputation spread, more and more people were willing to do business with them. Therefore, they simply set up such a market outside their gang.

The more Shi Datou thought about it, the angrier he became.

“Let me tell you, their sect has always had this temper. In my opinion, they probably did some shameful things. If we can say all the bad things out of their sect, we will earn a lot.”

Zhao Shaoji looked at Shi Datou with a smile and said, “Brother Shi, why are you still thinking about this? Didn’t you see how strong the puppets refined by their Divine Fire Sect are? Aren’t we courting death by going against them?”

Shi Datou widened his eyes and said in a daze, “So what? I’ve long disliked them. If I can deal with these people, it will be considered getting rid of evil for the people.”

Zhao Shaoji knew him well and knew his bad temper, so he comforted him, “Alright, they’re generous now. Let’s exchange our treasures for money and earn a sum from them. We can discuss other things later. There’s no hurry.”

After pacifying Shi Datou for a long time, his anger dissipated a little.

Li Yuanqing sat at the side and listened silently.

When the two of them spoke, they would always glance at Li Yuanqing from time to time. Although Li Yuanqing was not included in every sentence, they always wanted him to participate.

The two of them had been talking for a while, but Li Yuanqing did not speak.

“Brother Zhao, are you going to sell something to these red-haired ghosts?”

After Li Yuanqing went outside, he transformed into his thin appearance and became Zhao Tai’an again.

Shi Datou casually placed the Heavenly Star Hammer aside and took out a small gourd. He took a sip of the immortal wine inside and asked casually.

Li Yuanqing smiled cautiously and looked at the two of them. “I heard that these red-haired ghosts are buying the Fire Spirit Fruit at a high price, so I brought them over to try.”

“I wonder how many did Brother Zhao bring?”

As Shi Datou spoke, he could not help but lean forward.

Li Yuanqing covered his storage bag outside and said hesitantly, “I have a hundred of them on me. I heard that I can sell them for five spirit stones.”

“A hundred?”

Shi Datou was immediately discouraged when he heard Li Yuanqing’s answer.

The two of them looked at each other and exchanged a brief glance. However, Li Yuanqing saw through their small action that they thought it was safe.

Shi Datou smiled and played with his Heavenly Star Hammer. “Brother Zhao, it wasn’t easy for you to come so far alone. You even have so many fire spirit fruits on you.”

Zhao Shaoji said at the side, “I heard that we will have to wait for a few hours before we can officially start trading after their market opens.”

“Is that so?” Li Yuanqing pretended not to know anything and asked, “Can’t we sell the things when we get there?”

Zhao Shaoji replied seriously, “You don’t know. These sects have many market rules. It’s not that simple.”

“That’s right. They’re very troublesome. They’re so naggy about everything. I heard that they have to check us first when the market opens today. I wonder how long they’ll be busy.”

The two of them echoed each other enthusiastically. The meaning behind their words was obvious. They clearly wanted to dissuade Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing also understood and followed their intentions. “But I can only leave from the east gate for half a day. What should I do if it drags on?”

Shi Datou’s expression changed slightly. After working for so long, he had finally tricked this kid.

He and Zhao Shaoji looked at each other again. Zhao Shaoji leaned forward with concern and asked Li Yuanqing.

“Brother, are you still in a hurry to go back? Then you’re in trouble.”

“Brother, what should I do?”

Zhao Shaoji and Shi Datou pretended to think for a long time. The two of them looked very helpless, as if they could not think of a solution.

“Brother, this is indeed troublesome. If you really can’t make it, you can do it next time. Their market isn’t only open for today,” Zhao Shaoji said with a very regretful look. “However, Brother, it wasn’t easy for you to be so far from here. It would be a pity if you returned empty-handed.”

Li Yuanqing suddenly took off the simple storage bag on his waist and said in frustration, “It wasn’t easy for me to save these hundred fire spirit fruits. I wanted to exchange them for five spirit stones to buy a pill. What a pity.”

“I say, Old Zhao, look at how pitiful Brother Zhao is. If it really doesn’t work out, the two of us can help Brother Zhao sell this Fire Spirit Fruit and give the spirit stones to him.”

Shi Datou said to Zhao Shaoji generously.

Zhao Shaoji appeared to be in a difficult position. “Brother Shi, it’s just that we met in a foreign land. No one will be at ease if Brother Zhao hands this hundred Fire Spirit Fruits to the two of us for no reason.”

“What’s wrong with that? If you’re unwilling, leave this to me. As long as you give the order, I’ll help you!”

Li Yuanqing was touched by Shi Datou’s generosity and directly handed his storage bag to him.

“Brother Shi, please take care of the Fire Spirit Fruit.”

“It’s fine. Leave this to me. We’ll meet at our original place three days later.”

“Then I have to trouble the both of you.”

After Li Yuanqing finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the two of them. Then, in a flash, he landed in the forest behind and retreated the way he came.

After watching Li Yuanqing leave, Shi Datou and Zhao Shaoji went on their way. The two of them stopped in a small valley a few miles ahead.

The two of them held Li Yuanqing’s storage bag with disdain.

“Brother Shi, aren’t we a little too desperate? We can even target a hundred fire spirit fruits.”

Zhao Shaoji could not bear it.

“I think that guy has probably stored these fire spirit fruits for a period of time. Isn’t it inappropriate to cheat him like this?”

Shi Datou grinned and revealed a strange smile. He looked at Zhao Shaoji and asked, “Brother Zhao, when did you become so benevolent? If I remember correctly, you can even kill women and children. Why would you pity such a nameless fellow?”

Zhao Shaoji couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. “I’m just thinking that this guy is only at the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm at his age. He wants to rely on these hundred Fire Spirit Fruits as his straw to clutch at. He’s really a pitiful worm to think that he can advance to the Supremacy Realm after buying such a lousy pill.”

After he finished speaking, the two of them could not help but laugh. There were a hundred Fire Spirit Fruits in front of them. The two of them split them evenly.

Not far behind the two of them, in a tall tree crown.

Li Yuanqing sat cross-legged and watched them silently.

He had long seen through these thoughts. From the beginning, when the two of them were fawning over him, Li Yuanqing had already been vigilant.

In the end, the two of them had exposed too many flaws along the way. It was difficult not to see through them.

Li Yuanqing took out these hundred Fire Spirit Fruits to numb the two of them and let them lead the way obediently. It saved him a lot of time.

As expected, the two of them were still unsatisfied after distributing the Fire Spirit Fruit. After a simple discussion, they continued rushing forward. The spirit stones sold for the Fire Spirit Fruit would probably never be given to their Brother Zhao again.

After walking for more than ten miles, a very desolate valley suddenly appeared in front of them. The valley was filled with charred land with wisps of green smoke. It had just been burned.

The valley that was ten miles long was originally very wide. Now that it was completely burned, the vision was clean. From beginning to end, everyone could see clearly that the top of the valley was filled with fiery red guards.

Those guards looked very strange. They were wearing very simple red armor. It was unknown what material the armor was made of, but it was simply red.

The color of flames was still under the armor, as if the people below were burning with flames, covering their faces. It was also like a layer of illusion. In short, their faces could not be seen clearly.

There were hundreds of guards guarding in all directions, especially at the entrance, and all of them were holding bright red spears.

Among these armored guards, a round man with red patterns all over his skin was standing in the middle, examining the two people who had just arrived.

“This is a token of our appreciation. Keep it.”

Shi Datou took out ten Fire Spirit Fruits and gently placed them in front of the man.

The man did not lower his head. His lips were pursed at a strange angle. His expression did not seem to change, but it seemed to change a little.

“Un.”

After a long while, the fat man finally let out a very short sound.

Shi Datou was relieved and bowed deeply. The two of them hurriedly slipped in beside him.

“Fortunately, this guy isn’t that greedy. Otherwise, we would have spat out all the fire spirit fruits that kid offered us.”

Just as the two of them were feeling smug, they suddenly heard a voice behind them.

“Please come in!”

The two of them looked behind them in confusion. The man guarding there happened to raise his head and his gaze collided with theirs.

The man, who was smiling and bowing just now, became serious again when he saw the two of them.

Although the two of them found it strange, they did not dare to stay here any longer. They hurriedly rushed towards the lively place in front.

The valley was divided into three areas.

The most lively place was naturally the place where raw materials were traded.

This place was filled with all kinds of fruits and spiritual herbs. Resources could not be lacking in those special ores. The sound of bidding was endless.

Moreover, this area was opposite the entrance, so the two of them naturally followed.

The other two areas were slightly calmer, but they were also surrounded by many people. There were some vendors there. Some sold pills on the left, and some sold tools on the right.

Unlike the black market outside, the people here were all from the Divine Flame Sect.

“What do you mean? How dare you fake it?”

There was a sudden commotion in the middle of the raw materials area.

More than ten guards held a thin man and pressed his head to the ground
