"Hello, Boss!"
"Boss, you've worked hard!"
"Newcomers again? It has to be Boss!"
Everyone around greeted Sui Jin. Sui Jin walked with his folding fan swaying, occasionally responding to a few greetings.
Each time he responded, the person he addressed looked incredibly excited.
Li Shuang followed Sui Jin down the middle of the road, her scalp tingling slightly.
This... is he really that flamboyant?
She felt a bit overwhelmed!
Not to mention Jiang Yi.
She was already socially anxious, and now she was clinging to Li Shuang's back, wishing she could just find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Sui Jin led them on a grand tour, then directly took them into a large mansion.
There were many people coming and going in the mansion.
Seeing Sui Jin return with people, they all gathered around.
"Young Master Huang, are these new recruits?" A thin man walked over, his eyes darting around, occasionally glancing at Li Shuang and the others.
Li Shuang and the others had already disguised themselves to some extent, but they couldn't achieve Sui Jin's natural charisma... they still stood out a bit in the crowd.
"These are some friends of mine," Sui Jin said casually. "I sent them a message to come. Like me, they are all Foundation Establishment cultivators. Once I explain our business to them in detail, I'm sure I can persuade them to join us. Then, the Supreme Celestial Venerable will have a few more great generals under his command!"
The man chuckled, "Then we await Young Master Huang's good news."
Sui Jin nodded and led Li Shuang and the others directly into a room.
The man's gaze followed them, but he didn't follow.
Entering the room, Sui Jin activated a mechanism, and a staircase leading underground appeared beneath the floor.
Following the stairs to the bottom, they found an underground secret chamber.
In the secret chamber.
Sui Jin made various arrangements to ensure they wouldn't be monitored or spied upon.
Once in the secret chamber, Sui Jin dropped his arrogant and domineering expression, a brilliant smile appearing on his face: "This must be our junior sister, right? For our first meeting, I don't have much else, so this bag of spirit stones is a welcome gift."
Sui Jin directly handed over a storage bag.
Li Shuang was stunned.
What... what kind of move is this?
"Xiao Shuang, just take it, he's a rich dog," Luo Mingyue said through gritted teeth.
Most sword cultivators were relatively poor.
Throughout the Sword Sect, they lived a hard life earning spirit stones to nurture their spirit swords, but Sui Jin was the only flamboyant rich dog!
Li Shuang could only accept it.
She scanned it with her spiritual sense, and her heart skipped a beat.
For just a welcome gift, it contained a hundred high-grade spirit stones.
Most Foundation Establishment cultivators, even with all their assets combined, probably didn't have that much.
"This..." Li Shuang was about to decline.
Sui Jin waved his hand: "Junior sister, just take it. If I wasn't afraid of scaring you, I would have added another zero."
Li Shuang's lips twitched.
What was going on?
Among the poor sword cultivators, why did such a rich person suddenly appear?
Liu Juncheng sighed: "Third Senior Brother has a five-element spiritual root."
Li Shuang's pupils constricted slightly.
A five-element spiritual root?
How could someone with a five-element spiritual root cultivate to the Golden Core stage and even become a true disciple of Ruthless Peak? How did Sui Jin do it?
But looking at the storage bag in her hand, Li Shuang seemed to understand something again. Was this... the power of spirit stones?
"The Sui family is the number one cultivation family in the Southern Azure Continent. In terms of power, they are no less than the Spirit Artifact Pavilion. The Sui family has invested in many industries and is a wealthy power," Liu Juncheng explained.
Sui Jin couldn't help but chuckle: "Keep it low-key, low-key."
Ye Zhaozhao listened, her eyes flickering slightly.
This Sui Jin actually came from a cultivation family! And the number one family at that!
Ye Zhaozhao's voice softened, and she couldn't help but interject: "Senior Brother Sui, then why did you work so hard to cultivate swordsmanship in the Sword Sect?"
In terms of hardship, the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect were definitely the most arduous among the six sects.
Not only did they need to practice swordsmanship day and night, but spirit swords were also monsters that consumed spirit stones.
Disciples from these prominent families usually chose the Cangyuan Sect first, then the Qianji Sect, which comprehended heavenly secrets, and so on. The Sword Sect often became the last choice.
Sui Jin glanced at Ye Zhaozhao, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked Luo Mingyue: "Senior Sister, who is this?"
Luo Mingyue said calmly: "Fang Qingyu, a rogue cultivator. She possesses a treasure that can detect demonic energy, and she has come to assist us."
Ye Zhaozhao said softly: "Slaying demons and devils is an inescapable duty for us cultivators."
Sui Jin's eyes flickered. Luo Mingyue's tone was somewhat cold, and he realized that this Fang Qingyu might have another agenda.
However, Sui Jin just smiled and said: "There are many children in the Sui family, and I am just an insignificant one among them. Those who had a choice naturally went to other sects. As for me, with a five-element spiritual root... I didn't have a choice, did I?"
Sheng Yuan suddenly interjected: "I heard that even Peak Master Lin didn't want to accept you at first. He finally took you in, probably because your family gave too much."
There was a hint of disdain in Sheng Yuan's tone.
The Sword Sect was not without disciples from prominent families, but Sui Jin was the only one with such poor aptitude who could still be accepted as a true disciple.
Sui Jin glanced at Sheng Yuan, not getting angry. He said calmly: "It's just that Master is too soft-hearted."
After speaking, Sui Jin directly changed the subject: "Now, to business. Like you, after arriving in Chengpian Town, the residents surrounded me, inducing me to join various plans. I investigated at the time and found that these people were just ordinary folk, without a trace of cultivation, but the entire town was affected, so there must be someone else manipulating them from behind."
"I immediately bought a hundred bottles of 'Golden Sunshine' and instantly became a core member."
"After that, I continued to pave the way with money, and coupled with the Foundation Establishment cultivation I displayed, I gradually became one of the leaders of this organization in Chengpian Town."
"Here in Chengpian Town, the original person in charge was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. That's the one we met at the door just now, nicknamed 'Skinny Monkey'."
"Originally, killing that Skinny Monkey would have completed the mission. But after entering the higher ranks, I discovered that the situation in Chengpian Town was not that simple; there was another mastermind behind them. So I simply went undercover, intending to wipe out the entire organization."
"The leader of this organization calls himself the Supreme Celestial Venerable, and he has three demon guards: Gold, Silver, and Bronze."
"That Bronze Guard will arrive here tomorrow. He will not only publicly commend a few people who have made outstanding contributions but also take a group of people to the headquarters. My name is also on the list to go to the headquarters. You will also go along at that time, and once we uncover the people behind the organization, we can wipe them all out."
Sui Jin briefly explained his plan.
Luo Mingyue nodded: "Sounds good, but how do we ensure they take us to the headquarters?"
"You can rest assured about that. This time, anyone in Chengpian Town with cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refinement or above is on the accompanying list. With your cultivation, you will definitely be selected," Sui Jin said slowly. "I suspect that the so-called Supreme Celestial Venerable is probably planning to close the net."
