‘It might not be a big deal to a great cultivator like you, but it would be of great help to us.’
Zhu Zhao thought for a while, then took out a small thing from his body and handed it to Liu Changgong respectfully with both hands.
“Senior, our Grand Moon Sect doesn’t have anything to repay you for. This thing can help you solve some small problems.”
It turned out to be a small jade green sword with ‘Grand Moon’ written on the front and ‘worship’ written on the back.
Seeing this jade sword, the two juniors beside it were stunned.
Huang Ze, who was standing beside Zhu Zhao, jumped in shock. He pointed at Zhu Zhao and wanted to say something, but seeing that Liu Changgong was right in front of him, he held it in and didn’t say anything.
He only squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, “Shameless…”
However, Zhu Zhao acted as if he didn’t hear him. He only held the token sword in his hand and looked at Liu Changgong with a smile, watching his reaction.
What was this?
Liu Changgong looked at the jade sword in front of him and felt that this thing looked pretty good. It looked like it was worth quite a lot of money. As for its use as a cultivator, he might not be able to use it.
Zhu Zhao saw that Liu Changgong was just looking at the jade sword in his hand and didn’t say anything, so he said, “Senior is living in seclusion here, wearing a white arowana outfit. It’s inevitable that some trouble will come looking for you. I also know that Senior may not be afraid of trouble, but it’s better to avoid trouble. As long as Senior hangs this token on the door, ordinary people will not be blind enough to come looking for trouble with you.”
Huang Ze, who was standing at the side, wanted to spit on Zhu Zhao’s face. “He took out this Grand Elder’s token. He obviously wants to hug this senior’s golden thigh, and he even claimed that he wanted to solve senior’s trouble. He’s really shameless to the extreme.”
Pui!
He was really shameless!
“So it’s a token…” Liu Changgong understood.
He raised his head and looked at the two old men in front of him. One of them was tall and had a square face, while the other was short and had a wretched appearance. Both of them had long beards and looked extraordinary.
He thought to himself, ‘It seems that these two serious people aren’t ordinary people. They must really have cultivated.’ However, the aura on their bodies wasn’t too strong, so their statuses shouldn’t be too high. At most, they should be some kind of outer sect elder!
Liu Changgong estimated that there were many more such tokens.
Thinking of this, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of pressure. Thus, he reached out his hand and took the token.
“It’s better to be respectful than to reject. Then, I’ll thank you very much.”
In any case, he estimated that there were quite a number of such things. To them, this kind of thing was just a casual thing.
However, to him, living in a place like the marketplace, where fish and dragons mixed together, he couldn’t avoid dealing with all kinds of people, and even couldn’t avoid having cultivators. Such a token could indeed reduce a lot of trouble, and it was very necessary to accept it.
Zhu Zhao and Huang Ze were very excited when they saw Liu Changgong really reach out and accept the token that represented the Grand Elder of the Grand Moon Sect.
However, the reason for their excitement was not the same.
Zhu Zhao was very happy when he saw his senior accept the token and felt that his Grand Moon Sect had really climbed up the tree of this mysterious senior. This meant that the Grand Moon Sect would probably flourish even more because of this. Moreover, the senior’s realm was so high that it was possible that it would last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Zhu Zhao was really too happy. He was even happier than when he had broken through to the Dharma Idol realm. Yu Linglong, who was at the side, was also happy for her master and her sect.
Huang Ze was excited because he did not make a move first. Instead, he let a wretched person like Zhu Zhao seize the initiative and latch onto his senior’s thigh. He was especially regretful. He cursed Zhu Zhao in his heart. He really wasn’t a friend. He was simply shameless. In order to latch onto his senior’s thigh, he did everything he could.
Huang Ze and his disciple stood at the side. The envy in their eyes was about to materialize.
Zhu Zhao and the others felt that they were almost done with this matter. They felt that they shouldn’t continue to disturb their senior, so they bid farewell.
“We have reaped a great harvest by coming to Senior’s place this time. This trip has not been in vain. In that case, we won’t bother Senior anymore. Goodbye!”
Liu Changgong did not stop them. He just watched them leave the main door.
He started to busy himself with his own matters again and started to slowly pack up.
Zhu Zhao and the others who had walked out of the main door turned around and saw Liu Changgong tidying up his small shop.
They were even more impressed. They felt that Senior’s realm was really extraordinary. He was like an ordinary person when he experienced the mortal world. Every word and action he said was in accordance with his heart. He had practically reached the profound realm of a saint where he could do as he pleased and not overstep the rules.
Zhu Zhao sighed. Later, as if he had thought of this, he turned around and said to his disciple, “Linglong, since Senior is here to cultivate and experience, we can’t let some rotten people and some bad things disturb Senior. Go and take over the shops on both sides of Senior’s house. Not only can you help Senior solve some small problems, but you can also have the opportunity to listen to Senior’s teachings from time to time.”
Yu Linglong also nodded with a look of agreement. She felt that it was a waste not to make use of such unique conditions. She also had to come and walk around from time to time.
After Daoist Master Zhu Zhao finished speaking, he said to his friend Huang Ze with a smug look, “What do you mean by ‘one step at a time, one step at a time’? You didn’t think of solving Senior’s problem in the beginning. Now you have no chance!”
Huang Ze was indignant and said, “I’ll go and find Senior to hand over the token now. Look at you…”
Before he could finish his words, Zhu Zhao interrupted him, “You didn’t give it to him just now. Now that you think about it, who do you think such an expert is? You can do whatever you want? Let me tell you, don’t bother Senior anymore. Otherwise, if Senior doesn’t mind, I’ll find trouble with you too.”
Huang Ze also came to his senses when he heard that. He waved his hand repeatedly and said, “No, I won’t be so ignorant.”
Seeing that Huang Ze also came to his senses, Zhu Zhao left with his disciple.
Qiu Yun who stood beside Huang Ze asked, “Master, is this Senior Liu really that powerful? I still can’t tell. Only that cup of wine is quite delicious.”
“I’m afraid it’s even more powerful than you and I imagined. That senior is simply unfathomable. Can’t you see that old ghost Zhu Zhao is treating him with such respect? Also, your cultivation base is too low, so you might not be able to sense it. That small shop is simply filled with Dao charm, just like in the Heavenly Palace. And that cup of wine…”
“That cup of wine has an effect on a Nascent Soul cultivator like me, allowing my Dao heart to advance by a step. It’s simply inconceivable!”
“The key is that this Senior has a good temper and likes to help the younger generation. You must learn more from him in the future.”
