At the door, two black-robed disciples were guarding, standing straight with solemn expressions.
They all have a strong aura and have reached the consummation stage of cultivation.
Wu Tian learned from the book that after being promoted to a core disciple, he would have to work for the sect, such as guarding the sect, guarding various important places, and maintaining order.
Of course, it is impossible to guard for a long time, so as not to delay cultivation, so basically they will be replaced once a month and take turns on duty.
It's not in vain, you can get a lot of merit every time, so people who don't have strong strength usually choose this, there is no danger.
Wu Tian took Shi Shi's hand and walked straight up the stone stairs. The two of them glanced at him and then looked away.
What good things can a registered disciple have
There was a hint of disdain in their eyes, hidden very deeply, but Wutan caught it. Without saying much, he walked between the two of them and stepped into the gate.
The hall was very large, at least five hundred feet in radius. There were several wooden chairs on both sides of the door, and at the innermost part was a long cabinet that was about ten feet long. Apart from that, there were no other items, making it seem exceptionally empty.
The walls were painted with lime and showed signs of weathering, obviously they had not been renovated for a long time. Moreover, there were no decorations, it was clean and simple!
In the hall, there were already many disciples wearing robes of various colors gathered together, talking a lot. The topics were nothing more than, "What was your harvest?" and "What did I hunt yesterday?"
Behind the long cabinet was a hunchbacked old man wearing linen clothes, with dishevelled white hair and a snow-white beard hanging down to his chest. He was skinny and had a dry face like a mummy. His cloudy eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked at the item in his hand.
Dozens of people were queuing in front of the long counter, whispering to each other.
"Brother, I told you to come earlier but you refused. Look, there are so many people queuing now. How long will it take?" the little girl complained.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's okay, just sit over there, I'll be there soon."
"Then you better hurry up!"
The little girl showed her two dimples, skipped to the seat, and looked around curiously.
Wu Tian had just lined up when a man in front of him turned around and asked, "Brother, what are you going to exchange for?"
This man was about twenty years old, wearing a red robe, with a fat head and big ears, as if he was pregnant for ten months. His belly was round and bulging, his face was full of fat, his eyes were narrowed into slits, and his two eyeballs were rolling around.
Wu Tian was stunned. At first glance, this fat man gave him a very familiar feeling, with a big belly and shifty eyes, but he had never seen him before in his memory.
"Exchange for some monsters."
"What kind of monster is it? How much is its essence worth? Can you show it to me? If it is an ancient species, I can pay double the merit and buy it for you." The fat man's eyes were shining.
Wu Tian was stunned. This look was really familiar, but he really couldn't remember it.
The fat man thought Wu Tian was dissatisfied with the price, and said, "Brother, I am a very good person, and I have never cheated you registered disciples. The price is fair. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around."
"You are a wicked person. Don't fool the new disciple. Be careful if the elder who teaches you the skills finds out, you will be in big trouble!" The speaker was also a young man in a red robe.
"Good but evil?" Wutan was stunned. A person with such a nickname should not be as good as he said.
Shan Youde glared at the red-robed youth with dissatisfaction and stressed, "Wu Feng, my name is Shan Youde. Also, when have I ever deceived other disciples? Evidence, bring out the evidence and let the facts speak for themselves."
"You still need evidence? As an elder of the sect, everyone knows your background. Don't try to be so arrogant." The red-robed young man Wu Feng said disdainfully, then patted his forehead and said suddenly, "I forgot that you are a fat man, a wicked fat pig."
"Ha ha!"
The people around the young man also laughed. One of the big men said, "You are a wicked man. If you don't behave yourself, the elder who teaches you skills may not let you off as easily as he did last time. I'm afraid he will send you directly to the middle of the Bibo Forest. If you don't die, you will be skinned alive."
"Yes, it's immoral. You really need to change your behavior. Besides, he is just a nominal disciple. What good things can he have?"
Shan Youde hurriedly defended himself, "Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. They are envious of my pure heart and my kindness in helping fellow disciples without asking for anything in return. How about you take out the things and show them to me? Don't worry, I will definitely give you twice the actual price."
Wu Tian had a blank expression on his face and shook his head.
"Brother, seeing that you have a full forehead and a strong physique, you must be a person with extraordinary talent. It will be easy for you to be promoted to a core disciple in the future. As long as you can show me what kind of monster it is, I will take good care of you in the future."
"kindness?"
Why do these words sound so familiar? Wutan called back all the people he had met from his memory. Suddenly, his expression became extremely strange and he looked at this person seriously.
He suddenly said, "Unscrupulous Taoist priest."
"Yeah!" The fat man responded without thinking, then narrowed his eyes, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you talking about? Where is the Taoist priest here?"
He pretended to be very convincing, and those who didn't know would definitely believe him. But Wu Tian had already judged from his first reaction that this fat man was the Wuliang Taoist priest he met in Tieshi Town.
It was really a case of searching for something everywhere but finally finding it without any effort. By chance, I met him in Yan Sect, and he was a core disciple.
Then, he must have swallowed the Shape-shifting Grass at that time, pretending to be an ordinary person and deceiving others.
He was confused again. Since Shan Youde was a core disciple, it made no sense for him not to know the significance of the God's Left Hand, but why did he sell it
Wu Tian didn't know that Shan Youde was indeed unaware of the preciousness of the God's Left Hand. He had bought it from a registered disciple for one hundred essences. The registered disciple was also unaware of this and one hundred essences was a considerable fortune for a registered disciple. So he agreed without any hesitation.
So, Shan Youde changed his appearance and went to Tieshi Town to try his luck. In order to improve the specialness of the gloves, he also placed a shape-shifting grass to see if any idiot would take the bait. Unexpectedly, there was a fool who didn't even bargain and directly bought it for one thousand essences, which made him very happy.
I still often enjoy myself alone.
If he knew that the glove was the legendary left hand of the god, I wonder if he would still be so happy. I'm afraid he would want to bang his head against the wall.
Wutan was not grateful. Instead, he wanted to beat this treacherous guy up. If he had not been tracking him, he would not have entered Scorpio Ridge, and would not have gotten involved with the terrifying existence of the Ancient Scorpion.
"Brother, don't be in a daze. What's the matter? Say something!" Shan Youde urged Wutan after not hearing him speak for a long time.
Wutan shook his head, his meaning was very clear.
Shan Youde was extremely disappointed when he saw this. He glared at the young men fiercely, his face flushed, his neck thick, and his fat shaking with anger. I asked you to help, not to dig up my past. I finally met a fool, and it was ruined like this.
How could he know that it had nothing to do with those young men, and that it was all because of him.
Even if he was not an unscrupulous Taoist priest, Wutan would not have done business with him. It would be strange if someone with such a bad reputation could be a good person.
“Now that I’ve encountered it, don’t even think about running away.” Wu Tian thought to himself. The God’s right hand is of great importance and he must find a way to get it.
Then, he thought of Han Tian again. If he knew that the unscrupulous Taoist priest was kind and virtuous, he wondered what he would do.
"No way, this is an ancient relic, and it only exchanges for ten merit points. Elder Wan, are you fooling your disciples?"
Suddenly, a clear voice was heard from the front. The speaker was a woman in green with long hair, graceful curves, and a petite figure. She was an inner sect disciple and was obviously dissatisfied with the merits given by the old man.
The old man did not get angry, and said calmly: "This is indeed an ancient relic, but it only has one tusk and is of no use. If you were not a disciple of the sect, I would not have accepted it."
The woman's face turned extremely ugly when she heard this. Although it was just a tooth, she spent a huge price to get it, but she didn't expect to only get ten merit points in return.
"Hmph!" She snorted, turned around, lowered her head and walked towards the door angrily, without noticing that a young man in black clothes was striding towards the door.
"boom!"
"Oh, that bastard..."
The woman was already in a bad mood, and after the collision, she fell to the ground. She suddenly became angry and started cursing, but when she saw who was coming, her voice stopped abruptly.
“Senior Brother Yu, I’m… sorry…” As if she was extremely afraid of the person in front of her, her body was shaking, and she hesitated for a long time before she finished her words.
The young man was seven feet tall, with a dignified appearance. He held a folding fan in his hand. With his neat and smooth black hair, he looked elegant and handsome.
With a smile on his face, he approached the girl and helped her up, saying with concern, "Junior sister, are you okay?"
"No…"
The woman gently pushed the big hand away and left in a hurry without looking back.
The young man in black turned his head to look at the graceful back, and a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes, giving people the feeling of a chicken encountering a weasel, extremely weird.
He turned around, glanced sarcastically at the people in line, and walked straight to the long counter.
"Senior Brother Yu, please..." A core disciple who was about to take out items for trading hurriedly made way.
Wutan's eyes sparkled. He saw a hint of lust in the young man's eyes when he looked at the woman in green. This person was definitely not as simple as she seemed.
"Brother, you must hide your sisters in the future. Don't let Gongzi Yu see you, otherwise your chastity will be in danger." Shan Youde whispered.
Wu Tian was stunned. Why was this fat guy so kind
Sure enough, his intention was immediately revealed. He smiled and said, "Brother, I have certain connections in the sect. As long as you give me certain benefits, I will ensure that your sister is safe."
"I don't have any sisters!" Wutan shook his head. He now deeply understood the saying that a dog will always eat shit.
"It's good to be a true disciple. I have priority in everything I do. If I can get to this point, I will be satisfied in my life."
"The sect leader is really biased. He favors the true disciples and personal disciples in every way. He gives most of the resources to them without considering us at all."
Several young men in red were whispering to each other.
