Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Chapter 119: Followers of the Fire Cult! Thirst Blood Axe!_2

The man in black across from him fell into contemplation.

After several tests, Gu Sheng was able to deal with them effortlessly. Without a doubt, he was associated with the Holy Sect. However, absorbing the Black Sand Gang required careful consideration.

Nevertheless, there was no denying that he was tempted.

Bringing a Bone Refining Realm master with his own faction into the Holy Sect would be a considerable achievement. Once his cultivation reached the requisite level, he might even have a chance to undergo the Sacred Fire Ritual and ascend to core membership!

"Since that’s the case, find an opportunity to reveal the existence of the Holy Sect. See if he has the willingness to join. If he does, I’ll personally meet him next time. You can offer him conditions: if he chooses to join the Holy Sect, we’ll help him survive his current predicament."

"Understood, I heed your command!"

Gu Sheng’s voice was filled with fervent zeal.

"Anything else?"

The man in black asked.

Gu Sheng’s heart trembled, and he finally revealed the true purpose of this visit.

"I have one request. My cultivation has nearly stagnated. I wish to purchase Bone Protecting Pills through the channels of the Holy Sect."

After speaking, Gu Sheng cautiously observed the man in black. If anything seemed amiss, he’d strike first!

The man in black froze momentarily, then cast a deep gaze at Gu Sheng.

"It seems you’ve done quite well in the Black Sand Gang these past two years. Your cultivation is impressive."

He hadn’t expected Gu Sheng’s cultivation to surpass his own, but he could deduce why Gu Sheng had suddenly contacted him after two years of radio silence. The prior silence, framed as a strategic retreat, was essentially semi-detachment.

Now, reestablishing contact turned out to be a result of lacking cultivation resources!

Realizing this, he chuckled inwardly with a hint of superiority. Though Gu Sheng’s cultivation was slightly higher than his, he was still restrained by circumstances. Martial artists from these small localities always faced resource shortages.

Bone Protecting Pills were indeed valuable.

However, purchasing them externally wasn’t overly difficult. After all, owning them didn’t guarantee breaking through Bone Refining Realm. Many had used numerous pills without ever succeeding.

He spoke indifferently:

"Bone Protecting Pills are naturally available through the Holy Sect. However, as a Blue Fire member, you’re limited to buying three pills annually at external market prices. One pill costs three thousand silver; three pills cost ten thousand."

Three pills!

Gu Sheng couldn’t suppress his excitement and bowed respectfully:

"Then please, honored sir, purchase three pills for me."

He understood the implication of the man’s words—it was clearly a suggestion for a bribe. No one would sincerely offer three pills for ten thousand silver out of goodwill.

Seeing Gu Sheng catch on, the man in black nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems you’ve indeed prospered in the Black Sand Gang. Here’s the plan: use the next seven days to probe Zhao Honglie’s situation. We’ll meet again in seven days, and I’ll bring the Bone Protecting Pills then."

"Yes, honored sir!"

"If there’s nothing else, leave now. Do not contact me casually unless there’s something critical. The Holy Sect cannot be as public as before; caution and dormancy are imperative."

Gu Sheng’s heart stirred. He respectfully agreed and swiftly flew off into the distance.
