Chapter 131 The Traitor
Once Shi Shou died, the threat on Song Wen was lifted, and he now showed that he was at the sixth level of Qi training.
Using the flying technique at the speed of a sixth-level Qi training cultivator, Song Wen took half a quarter of an hour to reach the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Seeing the still open door of the Foreign Affairs Hall, Song Wen's face lit up and he hurried into the hall.
There was still a steward in the hall, tidying up the desk, and it seemed that he was ready to go off duty.
This steward was an old-looking male cultivator, with the eighth level of Qi training.
"Sir steward, I am Ji Yin, an outer disciple. This is my disciple token. I am here to receive this year's sect's mission."
Song Wen respectfully handed the disciple token to the old man.
The old man did not take the disciple token handed over by Song Wen, and did not even raise his eyes. It seemed that someone else came to do things when he was off duty, which delayed his time. He was in a bad mood and said in a somewhat impatient tone.
"Go back. All the outbound missions of the sect have been cancelled. There will be no outbound missions this year."
"All outbound missions have been cancelled! How is this possible?"
Song Wen exclaimed softly, as if he didn't believe what the old man said.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face again, and he continued.
"Then those of us who haven't done the outbound missions this year, haven't we picked up a big bargain?"
The old man finally tidied up the desk and looked up at Song Wen, his face also filled with a smile.
"It's really a good thing that I don't have to do the outbound missions of the sect. I haven't done any outbound missions this year. Every time I carry out an outbound mission, I am in danger. It's safer to stay in the sect."
Seeing the old man talking, Song Wen took the opportunity to climb up and continued to ask.
"Brother, do you know why the sect suddenly cancelled all outbound missions?"
The old man shook his head and pouted, "How can I know this? This kind of sect event requires at least a foundation-building elder to be qualified to participate."
After chatting for a while, Song Wen said goodbye and left.
He can now be sure that something big will happen in the Corpse Demon Sect.
The cancellation of the sect's outbound mission just confirmed what Chen Feihe said.
Song Wen went down the mountain and went straight to the market.
Since he couldn't leave the sect by regular means, Song Wen planned to try and see if he could leave the sect privately.
Since Chen Feihe said that casual cultivators still had a chance to leave the Corpse Demon Sect's territory, he should be able to leave the sect by mixing in with casual cultivators.
As soon as he entered the market, Song Wen found that the number of guards patrolling in the market had increased several times, and there were also foundation-building cultivators among the guards.
There were still a large number of casual cultivators coming and going in the market, and these casual cultivators were not blocked from leaving the market.
Song Wen stood not far from the exit of the market, his face uncertain.
He was a little unsure whether he should leave the sect at this moment.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly received a message from the sect.
"From now on, all disciples are forbidden to leave the sect. Those who are outside the sect must return to the sect immediately. Those who do not obey this order will be regarded as traitors and will be punished for treason."
Song Wen, who saw the sect's message, immediately gave up the idea of leaving the sect.
Leaving the sect is considered treason, and he will not challenge the sect's authority at this time.
The chaos is coming, and the Corpse Demon Sect needs to establish its prestige. He does not want to be the chicken that is killed to scare the monkeys.
When Song Wen received this sect's message, other disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect also received it at the same time.
In an instant, the Corpse Demon Sect disciples who were traveling in the market began to discuss in groups of three or five.
Most people had a trace of worry on their faces.
And some smart people were already going to various talismans, elixirs, magic tools and other shops.
Song Wen also walked into a shop selling cultivation resources as soon as possible.
"Daoyou, how much is Yinsha Dew?"
"Reporting to the senior, nine hundred spirit stones per bottle!"
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged cultivator with a very shrewd look. He was at the eighth level of Qi training. Hearing Song Wen asking for the price, he replied.
Although Song Wen's cultivation level at this time was disguised as the seventh level of Qi training, which was lower than the shopkeeper's, Song Wen asked about the Yinsha Dew that only foundation-building cultivators would use. The shrewd shopkeeper concluded that Song Wen was probably a foundation-building strongman who had hidden his aura.
Even if Song Wen did not hide his aura, he would not suffer any loss if he called him 'senior', as long as the business could be done.
"So expensive? I only bought eight hundred spirit stones yesterday." Song Wen said with some dissatisfaction.
"Hehe!"
The shopkeeper said with a dry laugh.
"Senior, don't think it's expensive. The price will go up in less than an hour."
Song Wen cursed in his heart, "Swindler!"
Obviously, the shopkeeper also knew that the Corpse Demon Sect prohibited disciples from going out and recalled all disciples outside.
Something big must have happened in the Corpse Demon Sect recently, so they took the opportunity to raise the price and earn a high amount of spiritual stones.
"Give me three bottles!"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled knowingly, and Song Wen really wanted to punch him in the face.
"Gengjin Stone and Yinliang Stone, you have them here, give me five of each."
"We have them, please wait a moment, senior."
The shopkeeper was delighted and turned to the backyard to get spiritual materials for Song Wen.
After leaving the shop, Song Wen went into another shop and sold five bottles of blood essence.
After that, he went into a pill shop and bought the Shangxuan Pill for the foundation-building cultivators, as well as the healing pills and soul-replenishing pills for the foundation-building cultivators.
Then, he went into a talisman shop...
Song Wen spent two quarters of an hour, wandering around more than twenty shops, buying various pills and spiritual materials for cultivation, and selling fifty bottles of blood essence.
Selling blood essence earned him nearly 7,000 spiritual stones, and buying various spiritual materials and elixirs cost him more than 20,000 spiritual stones. He basically spent all the spiritual stones he had on him.
The spiritual materials he bought with huge amounts of spiritual stones were enough for him to have enough resources for cultivation in the next year.
Song Wen noticed that the business of various spiritual tool stores was also very hot. Thinking of the various magic tools he got in the secret realm, he took them out and sold them during this chaos.
Returning to the cave, he took out the two storage rings in the niche of the corpse well.
In the two storage rings, there were 35,000 spiritual stones, 120 bottles of blood essence, and countless elixirs, magic tools, talismans, and spiritual herbs used by various Qi training monks.
Song Wen did not plan to sell blood essence for the time being. He had sold a lot of blood essence recently, and he was worried that the sudden appearance of a large amount of blood essence in the market would attract the attention of interested people.
He classified the elixirs, magic tools and other items that he could not use into six different storage bags.
With a storage bag in his pocket, Song Wen came to the market again.
In the market, there were many cultivators buying supplies, and there were also many cultivators selling supplies. After all, most cultivators were short of money and lived a tight life on weekdays. They had to sell supplies to afford what they needed.
Song Wen also mixed in with these people, changing different shops and starting to sell various treasures.
After changing his breath nearly fifty times and entering no less than a hundred shops, he finally exchanged all the resources in his hands for spirit stones.
He earned more spirit stones than he expected, nearly 100,000 spirit stones.
You know, this is the result of the shops desperately lowering the price. If you spend money to buy these treasures, it will cost at least 200,000 spirit stones.
With a huge sum of money, Song Wen returned to the cave.
