As Elder Xing Yi spoke, he produced a box. Opening it, a crimson great saber lay inside.
Three characters were written on the box — Blood Mystic Immortal Blade.
It was an Immortal Armament. Its quality couldn't be called exceptional, but it was still far superior to the Darkstone Dagger that Chu Feng currently possessed.
"Friend Chu Feng, this Immortal Armament is merely a token of our sincerity, not the entirety of the compensation."
"Whatever you need, just name it. As long as your demands aren't excessive, we will certainly fulfill them," Elder Xing Yi said.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. I need forging materials — materials that can be used to forge a half-complete Immortal Armament. I'll need ten portions. And they must be of premium quality."
"Additionally, one portion of materials that can forge a complete Immortal Armament. It doesn't have to be premium quality, but it can't be too inferior either."
Chu Feng didn't put on any airs. Business was business — this was a transaction, and there was no reason for him to be overly polite.
Besides, Xia Yun'er was the one who needed his help. That meant even if Elder Xing Yi had helped him earlier, there were likely ulterior motives involved.
"Agreed. Beyond that, does Friend Chu Feng have any other requests?" Elder Xing Yi asked.
"One month from now, I need to attend the auction at the Ghost Sect Hall. That schedule must not conflict."
"It absolutely won't conflict." Before Chu Feng could even finish, Elder Xing Yi cut in preemptively.
"One more thing — I'd like Elder Xing Yi to escort me to the Ghost Sect Hall," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"You really do have quite a few demands," Xia Yun'er said, casting a glance at Chu Feng with an amused smile.
However, her smile indicated that Chu Feng's conditions were all acceptable to them.
"What can I do? It's not often someone comes asking for my help. I have to drive a hard bargain while I can. I'm broke and drowning in trouble, after all," Chu Feng said with a shrug.
"You brought that trouble on yourself, so who can you blame?"
"Honestly, even if Han Yu and the others went too far, you didn't have to push it so far. You could have waited until you truly grew stronger, then dealt with them later," Xia Yun'er said.
"A man lives on his pride. If I had to swallow my anger everywhere I went, life would be suffocating. That's not how I, Chu Feng, choose to live. I'd rather die than endure that kind of humiliation," Chu Feng said.
"Friend Chu Feng, truly admirable courage. Throughout history, all who achieved great things have been just like this," Elder Xing Yi praised.
"So, Elder, can it be done or not?" Chu Feng asked.
"Naturally, that's no problem. When the time comes, I will personally escort you to the Ghost Sect Hall and guarantee that no manner of demons or monsters will dare disturb you," Elder Xing Yi said.
"Then I'll be counting on you, Elder." Chu Feng cupped his fists in thanks toward Elder Xing Yi.
"It's only proper."
"Go ahead and put away the Immortal Armament, Friend. As for the forging materials, I'll have people prepare them right away. I guarantee you'll have all the compensation in hand before we enter the Heritage Cavern," Elder Xing Yi said.
"Then when will we head to the Heritage Cavern?" Chu Feng asked.
"We're already on our way. We'll arrive before long — it certainly won't delay you from attending the Ghost Sect Hall auction," Xia Yun'er said.
"Oh right — is Song Yunfei going too?" Chu Feng asked.
