Chapter 277_3
The local power, if they truly wanted to annihilate the Craftsman Sect, their blockade of the mountain gate would have been useless, moreover, he could tell that those who had come were not the same group from the Eastern Wasteland as before.
Clearly, the other party had come again.
He had heard before that people from the Eastern Wasteland, when plundering various Immortal Sects for resources, would sometimes send different teams which resulted in repeated visits.
At that time, as long as they made things clear, the other party would leave.
This time, it must be that the other party had a mix-up between two teams.
Silver Craftsman also saw Qian Chui and others, he first bowed towards Qian Chui and said, "Dao Companion Qian Chui, please wait a moment."
Having said that, he turned his head to the people from the Eastern Wasteland and said, "Gentlemen, your people from the Eastern Wasteland have already visited, led by a very beautiful Immortal."
"Someone has already been here?" Xiang Ziyu was slightly surprised, and asked curiously, "A beautiful Immortal, there are many beautiful Immortals in the Eastern Wasteland, and there are several who lead teams. Which one are you talking about?"
Indeed, there were many beautiful Immortals leading teams, but in his Hundred Peaks Sect, there were his two senior sisters and his master's wife.
Upon hearing this, the other party immediately pointed at the insignia on the Flying Boat behind Xiang Ziyu and said, "That Immortal is from the Hundred Peaks Sect just like you."
"There are many beautiful Immortals in our Hundred Peaks Sect, just tell me the name," Xiang Ziyu discovered that communicating with the other party was really problematic. What was the point of talking so much? Isn't it better to say the name directly?
"That Immortal didn't mention her name." Silver Craftsman was also helpless. If the other party had told him the name, he would have said it earlier. Would he still need to explain so much trouble?
But speaking of which, that Immortal really had one distinctive feature, but he dared not say it.
He feared if he mentioned it, the other side would think he was making a pass at them, and if they attacked directly, then what should he do?
He could only recall the tone and attitude that Immortal used when speaking to them at that time, and said, "That Immortal was relatively gentle."
Understanding dawned on Si Si Rain, who came forward and said, "Ah, then it was the eldest senior sister who came."
If it had been the second senior sister, still gentle? The second senior sister would have likely placed a knife at their necks demanding money. If it were the master's wife or junior sister, they wouldn't have been linked to gentleness either, so it could only have been the eldest senior sister.
The people from the Hundred Refined Sect listening to the conversation began pondering.
The people from the Eastern Wasteland weren't just one team; they had other teams as well. It was to be expected, if there were only this single team, although strong enough, it would still have been impossible to conquer East Breeze.
But what were the people from the Eastern Wasteland doing looking for the Craftsman Sect? The people of East Breeze had once invaded the Eastern Wasteland, so now the Eastern Wasteland had entered East Breeze. They couldn't possibly have come only to take a look around, right?
Listening to that, why did it feel like the people from the Eastern Wasteland were like those from the imperial court in the Human World, going to the commoners' homes to collect grain?
Naturally, the people from the Eastern Wasteland couldn't possibly just be collecting grain; they definitely wanted various cultivation resources.
Xiang Ziyu and his group had encountered this situation before too, where other Eastern Wasteland groups had already visited the Sects they were going to, and those few times they immediately turned and left.
This time, after hearing this, Xiang Ziyu did not leave immediately but instead looked towards the other party's mountain gate.
Even from outside the mountain gate, one could tell that their Mountain Protection Array was made from the finest materials, and looking at the gate itself, whether it was the plaque or the pillars, it was all crystal clear and flawless white jade without a single impurity.
This was clearly a fat sheep, and to walk away just like that would be too regrettable. They had to fleece a bit of wool before leaving.
Xiang Ziyu thought for a moment and then asked, "So what did my senior sister ask from you?"
Hearing this, the people around from Hundred Refined gave a nod. Their thoughts were indeed correct; it was apparent that the cultivators of East Breeze hadn't beaten those from the Eastern Wasteland, and in order to protect themselves, they could only spend money to avoid disaster.
Silver Craftsman, upon hearing this, immediately spoke up, "Medicinal herbs. Your senior sister asked for a large amount of Spiritual Medicine from us, she nearly emptied our Craftsman Sect's treasury where we store Spiritual Medicine."
Xiang Ziyu nodded without any suspicion. Although his master was good at everything, what his master needed the most were pills for Alchemy.
He was even more aware that after the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth was over, if he, his two senior sisters, and Duo Duo wanted to break through, they would also need pills refined by their master.
So it wasn't just the eldest senior sister; when the disciples of Four Treasures Peak went out for resources, they all looked for various medicinal herbs.
"Uh-huh, my senior sister is specifically in charge of asking for medicinal herbs, but what I am in charge of is not herbs. I am in charge of asking for various materials for crafting Divine Weapons.
Your Craftsman Sect specializes in the crafting of Divine Weapons, so you should have a lot of materials, right? Bring them all out and let's have a look," Xiang Ziyu vaguely blurted out. This wealthy Immortal Sect, how could they leave after just one round of extortion?
Silver Craftsman, upon hearing this, became instantly unsettled and cried out, "Dao Companion, we've already given once to you. Aren't you supposed to ask only once? Why are you asking for a second time?"
"I've already said, the tasks are different," Xiang Ziyu made up an explanation on the fly. "My senior sister asked for medicinal herbs; I am asking for materials for crafting Divine Weapons. The two do not conflict."
"Not conflict?" Silver Craftsman almost cursed out loud, what was this person trying to do? What non-conflict? This was clearly an attempt to plunder their Craftsman Sect twice.
