Master of Untold Daos

Chapter 332: That’s the Same as Saying as if I Lost Respect

“With Martyrs undying and blocked from further cultivating, they found a different meaning to their existence. Martyr’s advantage and weakness is the infinite lifespan, converting at their pinnacle. This is why each of them has strange characters.”

“The fruit the Tree of Martyrs bears only works once. But the same tree grows different fruits, and the effect still applies. For example, Jade Lake’s peaches, one adds a hundred years to your lifespan and the second stage one a thousand. They both work if eaten once for a total of 1100 years to your lifespan. Even if you take the 100-year peach twice, the increase will only be once.”

In Chen Ming’s heart, Then when I gave the crest with 49 bodhi tree fruits in it, won’t it mean only one is in effect?

I know I messed up this time.

Nr. 1 turned to Inevitable, “I am done.”

Inevitable said after a pause, “Not enough information. You will receive four fruits.”

“I accept!”

Chen Ming agreed, “I also accept!”

Inevitable said, “As to how you handle the transaction, it’s at your leisure.”

Nr. 1 began, “Deliver the fruits to the Green Hill Constellation’s River Office.”

“No problem.”

The three reappeared at the table and Inevitable continued, “Next transaction.”

Chen Ming stopped there. He didn’t ask about pill recipes, refining methods since he wanted those in the Dao Comprehending realm, something that needn’t be conducted at an Inevitable’s meeting.

Their transactions, for the most part, had to do with strengthening their control by taking out a few names as targets for assassination. Chen Ming didn’t have the right, as of yet, to enter. I’m not interested when the weakest is a Celestial Immortal.

Some became targets because they meddled in their interest, while others pretended to be Blades when killing people.

Chen Ming had no concern for these and, six hours later, the meeting was adjourned.

Chen Ming reappeared at the Scarlet Dragon River Office and left the four fruits in a storage ring on a rock in the abandoned courtyard the four bandits spoke of.

He returned to the tavern and donned the mask and summoned Bu Liuhen to deliver the ring to Nr. 1. Bu Liuhen didn’t ask, being sensible. This was a deal among Faceless and he was just a currier.

Chen Ming warned, “Won’t it expose you?”

Bu Liuhen bowed, “Sire Faceless, rest easy. Subordinate has his ways.”

“Oh, send your men to gather pill recipes from the Dao Comprehending rank to Immortal rank.”

Bu Liuhen was taken aback, Sire Faceless wants to refine pills? But still complied, “Subordinate will act immediately!”

Chen Ming nodded and ended the meeting.

He was quite assured with Bu Liuhen, This guy is a god of thievery. He has to have a few secret connections.

Chen Ming turned to the pile of storage rings in his storage ring, Time to head home.

Going out then coming back after a long journey felt like a dad who earned a lot and returned with sweets for his children.

Yan Mountain now needed time to digest Chen Ming’s plunder and grow stronger in the process.

Aren’t I doing it all for my disciples’ smiles?

It didn’t take too long to return. Landing on Expansion Star, he found Scarlet Tide patrols and savage beasts grazing in Yan Mountain’s designated pastures.

Chen Ming just came and his disciples found him, “Look, Master is back!”

“Master is truly back! Let’s report to seniors!”

Ling Xian soon came alone and Chen Ming asked, “Qingyao and Suyi?”

“Head senior sister and third junior brother went to Obsidian Star to grab Beneath Immortal savage beasts!”

“Why the rush? There are still two years until Obsidian Temple’s promise!”

“Master, third junior brother’s savage beasts broke through to immortal beast!

The rest of the seven savage beasts also showed signs of advancing. With such a great opportunity, head senior sister didn’t want to miss it and took Li Suyi to grab Beneath Immortal savage beasts.”

“I see. Then it’s fine. This lass was being idle lately, without a cultivation method, and going out is normal.”

“Master, let’s go back. They should return in half a month.”

He followed Ling Xian to the Yan Mountain branch on Expansion Star and entered his cultivation hall built by his disciples. Very nice, at least they used the good stuff.

They still hold me as Master in their hearts.

Ling Xian said, “Oh, Master, you left many immortal tools before leaving but there’s a problem. None of my juniors can earn their recognition!”

Chen Ming’s thought, Huge problem. “Don’t worry, Master’s strip earned him ten thousand immortal tools. Let your Master first settle the Divine Weapons Mount on the Expansion Star, to hold all of them. One who reaches Sovereign rank can climb it to search for his immortal equipment. With so many, the chance of finding a suitable one grows!”

Ling Xian’s eyelid twitched, What the hell did you do, Master, to bring back so many!

But didn’t voice it. Master gave them too many surprizes it turned into a habit.

Chen Ming said, “Oh, right. Master also got for you a fifth junior brother. When a fatty calling himself Wan Baqian comes, bring him to me.”

Ling Xian was wild with glee, That’s great! “A fifth junior brother, perfect! I no longer need to compete with third junior brother. Now it’s fifth junior brother’s turn to embarrass himself!”

Chen Ming coughed, “Uh, your fifth junior brother isn’t included. He won’t represent Yan Mountain in competitions.”

Ling Xian wasn’t too pleased, “Master, dotting on fourth junior sister I understand as always refines pills, but why is fifth junior brother exempt? You’re clearly showing bias to the smallest!”

“Your fifth junior brother is learning your Master’s fortune-telling. Don’t you have any dignity? You want to fight it off with a diviner and see who’s tougher?”

Ling Xian now understood, “Ah, I see. So I still need to go along with third junior brother and make a fool of myself!”
