Chu Li glanced at him without showing any expression on his face.

Wen Tingdao snickered for a moment before stopping. He shook his head and exclaimed, “This is quite funny. You claimed that your Divine Light Sword Technique was a top-notch sword technique, but it’s unheard of. There isn’t a Divine Light Sword Technique amongst the top-notch sword techniques!”

Chu Li scoffed and retorted, “What sword techniques do you have then?”

“In the Sword Moon Sect, we have Great One Divine Sword, Ultimate Sword, True Jade Sword, Plain Girl Sword, and Stargazing Sword. All of them are top-notch sword techniques. They’re so good that Hai Cang Mountain’s sword technique isn’t even considered the best, let alone the sword technique from the Holy Church of Light!”

Chu Li frowned as he looked at him.

He had never heard of these sword techniques at all. Could he really be so uninformed to this extent?”

Wen Tingdao smiled as he said, “Are you thinking that you never heard one of them before?”

Chu Li scoffed. “Could it be that it’s because you’re lying?”

“Haha!” Wen Tingdao shook his head. “It’s only natural that the undeveloped areas have never heard of these! The world is moved by the Fu Dynasty, a dynasty respected by everyone. The Great One Imperial is an authentic Taoist. The Great One Divine Sword is on par with the Divine Technique and no one is able to counter it!”

Chu Li replied, “There’s no such thing as a sword technique that can’t be countered.”

“The Great One Divine Sword is not a typical sword technique that moves like a steel sword. It’s a sword that rivals a God’s as it’s a sword made out of aura. It has the property of being shapeless and can’t be defended against.” Wen Tingdao shook his head. “This is the best sword technique the world has to offer. Your Holy Church of Light’s sword technique is not worth mentioning at all when faced against the Great One Divine Sword!”

Chu Li frowned. “Are you sure there’s such a sword technique?”

“The world is big and you’re limiting yourself to the Li Dynasty. The Li Dynasty is a poor and undeveloped place, so it’s quite understandable that you don’t have enough knowledge!” Wen Tingdao smiled as he spoke. “How about it? Why don’t you open your eyes in the Fu Dynasty?”

Chu Li harrumphed. “No thanks!”

“Although the Holy Church of Light is the best in the Li Dynasty, your sect is incredibly common in the Fu Dynasty. If you were to enter our Sword Moon Sect, the Holy Church of Light will never be able to harm you!” Wen Tingdao shook his head. “You’ll fully understand just how advanced Fu Dynasty is when you come here!”

Chu Li asked, “What sword techniques can you trade for the pills?”

“So, you’re keen on the sword techniques,” Wen Tingdao said with a mellow tone. “Our Sect has something called the Less Ultimate Sword, which is the foundation of the Ultimate Sword. It’s incredibly powerful and much better than your Divine Light Sword Technique. What’s even better is that the Ultimate Sword doesn’t require any specific heart technique. Any type of heart technique can trigger it and the power depends on the heart technique.”

Chu Li shook his head. “It’s more reasonable to offer the Ultimate Sword. I don’t want the Less Ultimate Sword!”

“The Ultimate Sword is the Original Sword Technique¹ from the Ultimate Temple. It’s never been given to outsiders before!” Wen Tingdao burst into laughter. “We don’t even have the capability to obtain the Ultimate Sword. Your demand is way too ridiculous!”

“Forget about it then!” Chu Li said. “Any normal Sword Technique is not worth trading for the Detachment Pills!”

“What if I chip in a few bouquets of Common Knotgrass?”

“The Common Knotgrass isn’t worth much of a value. I might not succeed in the next alchemy.”

“Then tell me, what do you want us to do for us to trade with you?”

“I’m not interested in trading anything else other than the Original Martial Arts from the Eight Great Sects,” Chu Li said.

“Haha!” Wen Tingdao pointed at him as he spoke, “Zhao Dahe, you’re too greedy. It’s only just Detachment Pills instead of the Resurrection Spirit Pills which can bring dead people back to life. Even so, that pill isn’t even worth the Original Martial Arts!”

Chu Li waved his hand. “You may leave now, the door is that way!”

“Why don’t you give it a second thought?” Wen Tingdao’s expression turned gloomy as he said coldly, “We’re very sincere to make a trade here. The Less Ultimate Sword far surpassed your Divine Light Sword Technique and it’s one of the best Sword Techniques out there. Don’t even think about getting it if you miss out on this chance!”

Chu Li shook his head. “No thanks! I don’t wish to trade with anything else other than the Original Martial Arts... Forget about it, I see that you lack sincerity. The Detachment Pills are indeed worth less than the Resurrection Spirit Pills!”

Wen Tingdao stared at him.

Chu Li stared back at him and the stare was no worse than his.

“Fine, I hope you won’t regret this!” Wen Tingdao scoffed as his figure turned foggy before he vanished.

Chu Li shook his head. “Senior Sister, you may come out now!”

Li Ruolan glided over the wall and landed in front of him as she looked at him with her beautiful eyes.

Chu Li asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Do you know what you’ve just missed out?” Li Ruolan scoffed. As her gaze looked rather disappointed. “It’s the Less Ultimate Sword!”

Chu Li walked towards the stone table and sat down and responded lazily. “So what!”

“The Less Ultimate Sword can literally replace our Divine Light Sword Technique. The Holy Church’s strength will skyrocket and your contribution will be immense. Do you realize what you’ve done now?”

Chu Li said, “It’s just the Less Ultimate Sword. I want to get my hands on the Ultimate Sword!”

“You’re really a greedy man!” Li Ruolan said rudely. “You wanting to obtain the Ultimate Sword is the same as everyone else wanting to obtain the Divine Light Sword Technique. Who’s able to get them?”

“When there is a will, there is a way,” Chu Li said.

Li Ruolan could not get angry as she looked at his lazy expression. “Since the Detachment Pills are yours, you’re free to do whatever you want as long as you don’t regret it. You can become a Patrol just by having the Less Ultimate Sword!”

Chu Li was shocked as he sat straight back up. “I can be a Patrol?”

“Most definitely!” Li Ruolan glared at him coldly. “You’ve forcefully thrown away the chance to become a Patrol!”

Chu Li then replied, “Let it be then. It’s just Patrol!”

“How arrogant!” Li Ruolan harrumphed. “Please continue fooling around!”

She left angrily.

Chu Li casually watched her leave.

Soon, he turned his head and looked behind him.

Bai Feng was in white attire and covered her face with a white veil, standing silently at the forest of bamboo not far away from him. The green bamboo behind her moved along together with her white attire as the wind blew, giving her a charming vibe.

“Senior Bai.” Chu Li fist saluted.

Bai Feng glided over as a faint fragrance seeped into the small courtyard.

She sat in front of Chu Li as she stared at him over the stone table.

Chu Li laughed. “Senior Bai, what are you looking at?”

“I didn’t expect you to progress this quickly. It’s only been a few months!” Bai Feng shook her head. “There’s nothing more to learn here!”

“You’ve overestimated me, senior,” Chu Li said. “Senior, do let me know if you have anything you want me to do. I’ll carry it out with my utmost ability.”

Bai Feng hesitated for a moment before she whispered, “The Tattered Sect is going to set up a formation on the outskirts of the city. Don’t tell anyone, including Altar Leader Mo!”

“This is a good thing,” Chu Li answered. “Isn’t it better for everyone to support it?”

“It’ll leak if more people know about it. Everyone has their own motive and some may hope that the formation would fail.” Bai Feng harrumphed softly. “Take Altar Leader Mo as an example. He will certainly hope that the formation would fail or we’ll be the ones contributing everything. He won’t be rewarded if that happens!”

Chu Li smiled. “That would be the best!”

“You’re not in good relationship with Altar Leader Mo, right?”

“I killed his niece!”

“No wonder...” Bai Feng finally understood the entire picture. She was so smart that she could tell that Mo Qianjun would obstruct Chu Li at every given opportunity. “Great then. Don’t tell him that I wish to set a formation discreetly.”

“What do you need me to do?” Chu Li asked. “I know how to set up a formation as well. I can help out.”

“You don’t have to worry about the formation. You should focus on protecting the formation instead,” Bai Feng said. “Although there are only two or three of us in the loop, we still have to guard against Monk Zhi Shan and the rest.”

“Alright. When are we doing this?”

“Tonight,” Bai Feng said. “Exit from the back door and I’ll pick you up there. We’ll leave the city quietly.”

“Okay.” Chu Li nodded.

Bai Feng fist saluted. “That’s about it. Don’t tell anyone else!”

Chu Li patted his chest. “Don’t worry Senior!”

Bai Feng flew up as he glided away.
