Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 884: Eight hundred eighty-two, Murong Bing
Chapter 884: Eight hundred eighty-two, Murong Bing
"Do you intend to join a sect?" Luo Shu asked directly without beating around the bush.
The female cultivator was taken aback and asked, "You mean, you want me to join a sect?" She had originally intended to join one, but every time she went to enlist, she was turned away after her Spirit Root was tested. Over time, she had given up the idea of entering any sect.
To cultivate and practice alchemy freely, without any concerns or constraints, such a life might suit her better.
"I do intend to," Luo Shu nodded in acknowledgment.
The female cultivator smiled and shook her head, "I’ve gotten used to being free on my own, and I’m not interested in joining a sect anymore." Only she understood the effort and hardships she’d endured to achieve what she had today.
"Alright then!" Luo Shu did not insist and handed over a Jade Bottle to the other party.
"Is this a Mahayana Pill?" The female cultivator asked excitedly upon seeing the Jade Bottle in Luo Shu’s hand.
"Yes," Luo Shu smiled and nodded.
"What do you need from me in exchange?" The female cultivator asked eagerly. With the Mahayana Pill, she would have hope for advancing to the Mahayana stage.
"What can you give me?" Luo Shu asked. She didn’t need anything particular at the moment; she offered the Mahayana Pill merely because she felt the other person was decent.
The female cultivator thought for a moment, then handed over a Storage Bag to Luo Shu, "Take a look, and if it’s satisfactory, let’s trade."
Luo Shu scanned the Storage Bag with her Divine Sense, nodded, and said, "This will do." The Storage Bag contained Spirit Grass necessary for making the Nurturing Origin Pill, an elixir of the same seventh level as the Mahayana Pill.
Upon hearing Luo Shu agree to the trade, the female cultivator happily handed over her Storage Bag and took the Mahayana Pill, "Thank you! My name is Murong Bing, and I’m pleased to meet you." She was genuinely grateful; although the Nurturing Origin Pills were also a level seven elixir, their value was vastly different from the Mahayana Pill, which was already concocted.
For instance, a cultivator who doesn’t practice alchemy, even with all the ingredients for the elixir collected, would need an alchemist to concoct it. This means paying a fee for alchemy, and aside from paying the alchemist, they also had to give them half of the finished elixirs. This is why alchemists were wealthy.
Just as they finished the exchange, a staff member of the Combat Arena approached them.
"The two of you, please accompany me to our processing room."
"Why?" Murong Bing asked puzzled.
"Our enforcer has detected through the monitoring formation that you conducted a private transaction within the Combat Arena, which is not permitted," the staff member explained.
"We weren’t aware of this rule. The trade was my proposal; I’ll go with you," said Murong Bing. If she had known, she would have waited until leaving the arena to trade. Now that the other party had kindly traded with her, she surely wouldn’t drag them into this.
Murong Bing’s words made Luo Shu hold her in even higher regard, "I will come with you."
"There’s no need; this is my responsibility," Murong Bing smiled and replied. "I am already thankful to you for the trade; how could I bring trouble upon you?"
"Both of you must come," the staff member interjected. Their Combat Arena had its own rules, and anyone who entered had to abide by them.
Luo Shu smiled at Yang Muxue, "Let’s go." Her strength was only at the Foundation Establishment stage; naturally, she couldn’t leave her behind.
"She cannot come along," the staff member interrupted. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Luo Shu gave the staff member a cold glance, "She must come with us."
The staff member shivered with fear, "I... I will ask the enforcer." The pressure from the other party was immense! How could he dare to offend her?
Murong Bing and the surrounding cultivators were all shocked as they looked at Luo Shu. Her aura had been contained before, so they hadn’t noticed. But the strength she radiated in that instant made her immense power crystal clear; she was undoubtedly a top-tier power!
The staff member quickly returned to the processing room and recounted the event to the enforcer. There was no need for an explanation, as the enforcer could check the monitoring formation, but they couldn’t feel the formidable aura like the staff member did.
"The female cultivator you mentioned, could she be a Tribulation Cultivator or above?" The enforcer couldn’t believe his eyes. When had Tribulation Cultivators become as common as cabbages by the roadside? The major sects had dozens of them, the recently established Divine Doctor Sect also had several; now even a cultivator violating rules might be a Tribulation Cultivator.
Coming back to his senses and looking at the monitoring formation, he saw cultivators staring at Luo Shu in shock. It seemed quite possible that she was a Tribulation Cultivator. Should he still proceed with handling this matter?
With that thought, the enforcer activated a communication talisman.
After a short wait, a lazy voice came through the talisman, "What’s the matter?"
"Young Master! There has been a rule violation in the Combat Arena. A private transaction took place, but one of the parties involved might be a Tribulation Cultivator," the enforcer reported hurriedly.
"Then let’s forget about this matter. Inquire about her information, and if possible, it would be good to make a favorable connection," the voice replied.
"I understand, Young Master!" the enforcer replied respectfully.
"One more thing, report her information to me afterward," the voice commanded.
"As you command, Young Master!" the enforcer responded respectfully.
Putting away the communication talisman, the enforcer instructed the staff member, "Bring me the registration information they provided."
"Right away!" The staff member acknowledged and hurried off.
Soon enough, the staff member returned with the registration information for the three of them.
The enforcer took the information, glanced at it, closed it, and set it aside, "Invite them to the processing room." He had contemplated investigating through their registration, but it was clear the information provided was false.
"Yes!" The staff member agreed and left the processing room.
"Elder! Are you a Tribulation Cultivator?" Murong Bing came to her senses, still with disbelief in her eyes. She never imagined she would meet a Tribulation Cultivator, and even make a trade with one.
Luo Shu smiled and shook her head, "You don’t have to call me elder, just Luo Shu is fine."
"How can this be acceptable?" Murong Bing said with a fluster. To call the other party by name was disrespectful, even if it meant her life, it would be her own fault.
"I don’t mind these things; you should just call me by my name, it sounds more comfortable," Luo Shu laughed. She naturally understood the principle of respecting the powerful, but it depended on whom she was dealing with.
Murong Bing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright... alright then."
