Chapter 423: Chapter 422: Man Gu: Is Heaven’s Court Still Recruiting People_1
“So you mean to say, Brother Meng, you’ve been subjected to karmic backlash, causing women to unconsciously despise you, and so you came to the Wild State to find a solution?” Man Gu had an enlightening moment after hearing the stories from Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
Well, it truly is Brother Meng. He encounters high-end problems like this. How many Golden Core Stage cultivators could experience karmic backlash?
The roast whole lamb was completely eaten, and the three brothers were catching up at a place slightly far away from the disciples of the Corpse Chasing Sect.
“And what about you, how did you come to the Corpse Chasing Sect? Did you come by yourself?”
“Didn’t I go home to participate in the tribe’s coming-of-age ceremony? After the ceremony, I proposed that I wanted to come to the Corpse Chasing Sect to learn corpse chasing techniques, which would be useful for barbecuing. The clan leader sent me over and took the opportunity to visit Master Ru. However, Master Ru was in closed-door cultivation, so the clan leader didn’t disturb him and left me at the Corpse Chasing Sect before returning.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Sect Leader of the Corpse Chasing Sect, Lu Baqian, was at the late stage of Unification.
“Originally, I was thinking of sparring with Huang Ming from the Corpse Chasing Sect, but he seems to have gone out on a mission and hasn’t returned yet.”
“I’ve heard that the coming-of-age ceremony of the Barbarian tribe is very dangerous, requiring one to fight against a Golden Core Stage Demon Beast.” As the current Eldest Senior Brother, Lu Yang was very concerned about the safety of Junior Brother Man.
Man Gu showed a simple-hearted smile, scratching the back of his head and saying, “It’s not particularly dangerous. After all, when we three were at the initial Foundation Establishment stage, we infiltrated the demonic sect, and during the late Foundation Establishment stage, we went into the dense forest and fought Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts.”
Indeed, compared to those two incidents, it was as safe for Man Gu to kill a Golden Core Stage Demon Beast with his Golden Core Stage cultivation level, as it was to return to the Seek Dao Sect.
At this time, Zhao Po came over: “My master usually spends most of his time cultivating, and he happens to be free now.”
“Then let’s go.” Meng Jingzhou smiled, feeling that luck was gradually leaning toward him. But immediately, he became alert and asked, “Is your master male or female?”
“Male.”
“Great.”
Man Gu didn’t need to learn the corpse chasing techniques anymore. His requirements for mastering the corpse chasing techniques weren’t high, as long as he could barbecue, he was willing to follow Meng Jingzhou to find the Grand Elder.
Man Gu said cheerfully, “Seeing you guys reminded me of something fun. A barbecue restaurant called ‘Again!’ has opened in Hanshui City. It shares our name, but theirs is a chain restaurant, claiming to inherit a secret ancient recipe.”
“Originally, I wanted to try it, but I never had the time.” Man Gu shook his head regretfully.
Lu Yang: “…”
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
“Actually, the restaurant you saw is somewhat related to us.” Lu Yang secretly informed Man Gu, this matter couldn’t be discussed in front of Zhao Po, as it might lead him to misunderstand that they were from the demonic sect.
“I never had the chance to tell you before you went home, but during this period, Old Meng and I made contact with the people from the Nine Nether…”
After hearing everything, Man Gu was left dumbfounded for a long time, unable to react.
Just during the time he went home, Brother Lu and Brother Meng had established Heaven’s Court and had even pulled in Eldest Senior Sister, the Sect Leader, Elders, and Tao Yaoye, making the Nine Nether open barbecue chain restaurants.
He hadn’t been at home for very long, not even two months.
No wonder Brother Lu and Brother Meng were incredible.
“Don’t worry, you’re a technical investor, and you get 10% of the profits from the barbecue restaurant.”
After all, the recipe the barbecue restaurant used was a traditional one passed down from Man Gu’s family.
Man Gu didn’t really care about the profits. After all, he was the only one left of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe. The whole tribe regarded him as a cash cow, so he wasn’t short of Spirit Stones, and he just didn’t have much use for them in his usual routines.
“Is Heaven’s Court still recruiting?” Man Gu proactively asked to join the two role models.
“Yes, of course, we need geniuses like you in Heaven’s Court!” Lu Yang laughed. Even if Man Gu didn’t actively mention it, he had intended to bring up the subject.
The top five in Lu Yang’s same batch had all joined Heaven’s Court.
The group arrived at the deepest part of the Corpse Chasing Sect, and the atmosphere became increasingly chilly.
An old man was sitting in the opulent and vacant hall. His pupils were cold, devoid of any emotions.
“Master, these are the wayfarers from the Seek Dao Sect that I mentioned to you, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. You should’ve met Daoist Man Gu already.”
“We have met, Grand Elder!” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou bowed in respect, paying their respects as the younger generation.
“Enough, there’s no need for such formalities between us. Both you, Daoist Buyu’s disciple, and the Meng family boy have ties with me.” The old man chuckled. His aged eyes regained their warmth.
“My surname is Ge. You can just call me Elder Ge.”
“This is the letter Fourth Elder wrote for you.” Lu Yang handed over the letter Fourth Elder had written as an introduction to the Corpse Chasing Sect.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a letter from Master Xie. His calligraphy is pleasing to the eye and invaluable. Just this letter alone has the qualifications to be auctioned…hmph, have any of you opened this letter?” Elder Ge looked displeased, feeling these youngsters lacked respect. How could a letter between elders be casually opened?
“It wasn’t us who opened it, it was Lord Shuang who opened it.” Lu Yang explained helplessly.
“Female demon?” Upon hearing the name ‘Lord Shuang’, Elder Ge’s hand shivered. He hurriedly used his Spiritual Sense to scan the letter repeatedly, fearing that Shuang Feiyan had cursed him through it.
This had happened before.
“Fortunately, fortunately. The letter is safe… What happened, tell me slowly.”
“Fourth Elder asked us to come to the Wild State to seek a cure for the curse, suggesting that we first ask for a solution from your sect. It’s our first time in the Wild State, and we’re unfamiliar with this place. We heard that the Seven Emotions Valley’s curse technique is extraordinary, so we decided to go there first…”
The corner of Elder Ge’s eye kept twitching. These unseasoned calves aren’t afraid of the tiger. Being Daoist Buyu’s disciple and holding Master Xie’s introduction letter, you went to find Shuang Feiyan. This is as if you wanted to die.
Especially at the end of the introduction letter, Master Xie referred to Shuang Feiyan as the ‘female demon.’ This was a private nickname, and no one dared to say it to her face.
That this cub could stand perfectly fine in front of him showed that his luck was extraordinary.
“Old Lu can solve this curse issue, but you’ll have to wait. Old Lu is currently in closed-door cultivation, attempting to break through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Once he is successful, your curse won’t be a problem anymore.”
“Breaking through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage?!” Everyone was shocked at the same time.
Master Ru and Daoist Buyu, as well as the various elders of the Seek Dao Sect, were of similar age, or one could say, elders and leaders of various forces belonged to similar generations. They secretly competed to see who could breakthrough to Transcendance Tribulation Stage first, but they hadn’t expected Master Ru to take the first step.
Lu Yang was the first to react. He stepped forward, made a fist salute and actively said, “Do we need to inform our elders about this matter, to celebrate for Master Ru together?”
The Seek Dao Sect and the Corpse Chasing Sect had a good relationship. In both aspects of emotion and principle, Master Ru’s breakthrough to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage was a joyous occasion, and the Seek Dao Sect should send someone to congratulate them.
His and Meng Jingzhou’s status were not enough to represent the Seek Dao Sect in offering congratulations.
Elder Ge waved his hands: “No, right before Old Lu went into seclusion, he specifically told me not to tell anyone about his breakthrough to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. He wanted to surprise others. I’ve told you this matter, so you shouldn’t tell anyone else about it.”
