Floating Immortal Order

TL: Sponsored chapter (1/1)

Aside from that, there were also a varied assortment of cultivation method jade slips and other junk. After Xu Disheng looked through them, he started to set aside a pile of the more common Spirit Tools, which he was planning to get rid of at an appropriate time to trade for spirit stones. Even the Three Suns Sword was included in that pile. Despite being priced at over 100 spirit stones due to the seals engraved on it, Xu Disheng didn’t really like the Spirit Tool, so he tossed it into the pile all the same.

As for the jade identity tablets and key jade slips of Chen Xingzhou and his attendants, Xu Disheng had long since crushed them and tossed them out on the way back to the Sacred Sect.

Yuan Qi had stayed on Morning Dew Peak for 6-7 years, but he had only been waiting on Chen Xingzhou’s orders and disguising himself as a newcomer disciple. Earlier, he specifically told Xu Disheng that on the nearby Canxia Peak, there was an extremely convenient marketplace for Sea of Qi stage disciples where they all mutually exchanged goods and assistance to help one another out.

After all, the things in the Spirit Armament Pavilion in Spirit Origin Hall were too standardized and the prices were slightly more expensive, so it was often the case that it was difficult to buy the Spirit Tools one needed. Plus, upon buying one of their Spirit Tools, there would be a detailed record left behind. If someone else really wanted to, they could just look those records up, which made it an easy way to be targeted by others.

As for these kind of marketplaces where disciples exchanged goods amongst each other, there were over 10 in the Mingxin Mountain Range alone. The Mingxin Mountain Range had several hundreds of mountain peaks, and several tens of thousands of disciples. These marketplaces were the places where a majority of the Sea of Qi stage disciples liked to visit and shop. Since there would always be people who were blind and would accidentally sell something an extremely valuable thing for a low price, there would conversely be people who managed to sell something worthless for a high price, allowing them to make a fortune overnight. Such occurrences weren’t all that uncommon either.

The time that had passed since Xu Disheng had joined Morning Dew Peak was still short, so he still didn’t know a lot of the inner workings about the place. When they were passing by Canxia Peak and he heard Yuan Qi mention that there was a marketplace set up nearby, his thoughts were stirred, giving him the idea to sell the common Spirit Tools and miscellaneous assortment of cultivation method jade slips and so on at this place.

That Severing Spirit Seal was too precious. After Xu Disheng tried it out a bit, he found that it was incredibly powerful! Along with its complete seals, it really deserved to be called a high-grade Spirit Tool. It must have cost an arm and a leg to refine. If he really sold it, it might go for even more than 400 spirit stones! Xu Disheng planned to use this seal for himself.

What about people discovering that it was originally Chen Xingzhou’s possession upon him using it? There were several tens of thousands of disciples belonging to Mingxin Mountain. Aside from those that were extremely close to one another, normally no one would pay attention to the Spirit Tools that another person was using. Even if someone who knew Chen Xingzhou recognized it, what did it matter?

Report it to the Affairs Hall or the Disciplinary Hall and claim that he killed a fellow disciple? With what evidence?

Moreover, even if the people of the Disciplinary Hall looked into the matter and found that there had been something fishy going on between the disciples during the mission, they still might not care or do anything about it.

After all, these kinds of situations happened too often, and they couldn’t worry about every single one of them. It was fine as long as they all knew their place while in the sect. Once they left the sect, no matter if they were dead or alive, no one would look too deeply into it in the end.

Of course, if someone had evidence recorded on a record jade slip, then that was an entirely different matter. The strict sect rules weren’t just for show. If there was really evidence that someone had committed an offense, the Disciplinary Hall wouldn’t hesitate to show them the very definition of cruelty.

As an elite disciple, Chen Xingzhou had his own beautiful courtyard on Morning Dew Peak, with six palace rooms that were generously spacious.

There was a lovely woman in one of the rooms, lying on an extremely soft and cozy bed. There were three to four female slaves attending to her.

The lovely woman extended out a delicate foot with vermillion painted toenails. “Yu, help me wash my feet,” she ordered.

One of the female slaves promptly went to bring water. She came back in a short moment with hot water, clearly already prepared for this.

After she started washing her feet, the lovely woman suddenly wrinkled her brow and lashed out with her foot! She kicked the plain-clothed slave girl right in the face, causing some of the hot water to splash into her eye. The slave girl Yu held her hand over her eye, crying out softly in pain.

The lovely woman shouted coldly, “You stupid slave, why are you using so much force! Are you trying to rub a hole in my foot?”

The slave girl only kept her head lowered, not even daring to hold her hand over her face. She endured the sharp pain, closing her eyes as she kneeled on the ground. A large majority of these female servants were just mortals. Only this slave girl Yu was once a Cleansed Meridians stage disciple from the Outer Region. Through unknown methods, Chen Xingzhou went to the sect registry and took her into his home.

Therefore, this lovely woman couldn’t even bear to look at Yu, and from time to time, she would scold and abuse her for no reason.

The lovely woman stood up, and just as she was about to speak, she heard a sound from outside the courtyard, causing her face to light up. Without even putting on shoes, she walked barefooted out of the palace room and looked outside.

The person outside of the door wasn’t Chen Xingzhou as she imagined. Instead, there were two Disciplinary Hall disciples in black clothes with cold, serious expressions on their faces.

Seeing her come out, the taller of the two Disciplinary Hall disciples looked down and took out a jade slip to examine it. After a while, he lifted his head and asked, “Are you Liu Qian’er, the concubine of Chen Xingzhou?”

Liu Qian’er had a bad premonition as she responded, “That would be me. What is the matter?”

The tall Disciplinary Hall disciple nodded and said, “Chen Xingzhou died while on a mission. The Directory Hall already eliminated him from the sect registry. His courtyard must be reclaimed, and all of his personal property will be returned to the hands of the sect!”

Liu Qian’er’s expression changed greatly and her voice becoming shaky. “What?! Xingzhou is…?”

It wasn’t that she necessarily cared for Chen Xingzhou, but rather she was frightened about her own fate to come.

Every elite disciple could have concubines, servants, and slaves, which were all considered the disciples personal property. Earlier, back at Jade Water Lake, Chen Xingzhou had once said that he wanted that black-clothed girl to serve as a replacement slave for him, which had clearly been an extremely belittling remark.

Liu Qian’er’s face became pale as she leaned powerlessly against the palace gate. Her eyes became soulless as she watched the two Disciplinary Hall disciples recklessly rummage through and overturn the place.

The shorter Disciplinary Hall disciple walked over. Seeing Liu Qian’er’s beautiful looks, he casually groped her buttocks and asked with a laugh, “Where are Chen Xingzhou’s spirit stones and property?”

Spirit returned to Liu Qian’er’s gaze as she thought of something. Right! Chen Xingzhou had several hundred spirit stones stored in the palace room, which had been accumulated over 100 years. She could use these spirit stones as her own ransom!

But while she was still thinking, she suddenly heard an “ah”. It was the sound the short disciple made when he saw her extremely attractive bare feet and noticed her excellent figure. He picked up her soft body with a lascivious smile and carried her into the hall.

… …

The short disciple walked out of the palace hall, his face red with pleasure. The taller Disciplinary Hall disciple was lying on the bed, enjoying a massage from several of the female slaves.

Seeing him come out, the tall disciple pointed at the storage pouch and said, “In that storage pouch, there are 300 spirit stones and 2 high-grade Spirit Tools. Aside from that, there’s also a bunch of other junk.” He sat up and began stroking the hair of a cute female slave as he continued, “I will take these female slaves and those two Spirit Tools. That Liu Qian’er and these spirit stones will belong to you then.”

The short disciple hesitated as he watched Liu Qian’er walk out from the rear palace hall at come towards him, her face flushed red. He smiled and said, “Then if we go based on your arrangements, how should we record it in the jade slip, Senior Martial Brother?”

The tall Disciplinary Hall disciple scoffed coldly and said, “Chen Xingzhou, elite disciple of Mingxin Mountain’s Morning Dew Peak, deceased while on a small-scale mission. Under the Disciplinary Hall’s jurisdiction, his personal property, summing to a total of 200 spirit stones, was confiscated. His courtyard was also reclaimed.”

Seeing the lovely beauty cradled in his arms, a fire lit up in the short disciple’s heart. He nodded repeatedly and said, “We’ll do exactly as you command, Senior Martial Brother!”

Just now, that was Liu Qian’er’s first time getting laid, and her beautiful face was still flushed red. There was only a semi-transparent red silk undershirt draped around her shoulders. She was half leaning into his embrace, straddled somewhere between wanting to resist and wanting to receive him. The shorter disciple couldn’t bear it any longer, and he picked up her soft, warm body once more and carried her into the hall, pressing her down on the bed as he said, “Senior Martial Brother, I’m going to have to inspect Chen Xingzhou’s property one more time.”

The taller disciple nodded, sneering inwardly as he brought the female slaves and Spirit Tools with him out of the palace hall.
