After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 351

These people are really persistent. They can't get the answer from themselves, so they want to ask the rogue cultivators.

How should I ask the question? Should I ask it politely, or...?

Ask me the same questions as Meng Ying used?
Chen Lan's expression turned cold, and she wanted to say something more.

But at that moment, she heard Mo Jiuwei's voice—

[Hehe, a rogue cultivator, huh? Fine, I'll ask.]

[Perfect timing, soon some rogue cultivators will emerge!]

However, the outcome was destined to disappoint them.

What does it mean?
Chen Lan was still a little curious, but before she could think about it further, she heard a commotion in the crowd—

"Oh, what a coincidence, someone's coming out!"

"Look, two more rogue cultivators have emerged!"

The two male cultivators had come out together, and they seemed to be talking when they suddenly saw so many people. They were stunned and even wanted to shrink back.

But the exit is right behind them, so where can they retreat to?

"W-What's going on? What are you doing...?"

One of them spoke up, stammering.

"Fellow Daoists, I am Elder Kongshan of Qinghuan Valley. I have a few questions for you. If you answer them obediently, I will give you these two Yellow-grade magic artifacts. How about it?"

The elder named Kongshan took out two magical artifacts and said in a very kind manner.

"Hmph, this cultivator from Kongshan has illusion techniques. He's best at lowering people's guard and gaining their trust. These two rogue cultivators are definitely doomed to fall for it." A disciple from the Xianlai Sect who knew the man's background whispered in the group.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan's heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Kongshan. Indeed, even though she knew what he was up to, she couldn't help but believe him when she saw his friendly and harmless face.

How could those two rogue cultivators possibly avoid being hit?
She became increasingly worried.

At this moment, the two rogue cultivators relaxed, their eyes burning as they looked at the two Yellow-grade magic artifacts, their faces beaming with joy and excitement. "Really? Senior Kongshan, just ask!"

Yellow-grade magic artifacts are the lowest grade among magic artifacts, but they are treasures to rogue cultivators with no family background!

Because even the cheapest yellow-grade magic weapon can sell for nearly ten thousand crystals, unless it has a very useless function or is damaged.

However, the two items that Kongshan took out were a longsword and a defensive cloak, both of which were quite useful.

"What are your names, which school of thought do you follow, and where do you come from?" Kongshan asked with a smile.

"My name is Zhu Gengtian. I am a rogue cultivator from Ning'an City."

"My name is Chen Xiu, and I am also a rogue cultivator from Guchi City."

He is undoubtedly a rogue cultivator.

"You've been in this secret realm for quite a few days now. What do you think of it? Is it rich or poor?" Kongshan asked again.

In just a few words, he had already put people at ease, making them think of him as a kind and benevolent old man.

Kong Shan was already highly skilled, and with the addition of this method, the two rogue cultivators, who were only at the Qi Refining stage, were naturally at his mercy.

The two men showed no fear or suspicion and quickly and readily answered, "This secret realm is very rich!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of many people present changed.

The disciples of the Immortal Sect were gritting their teeth in anger, some of them already about to shout reprimand. Kong Shan, however, frowned, then a strange smile appeared on his face. "Really? How wealthy is this place? Describe it to us."

Xu Yihan couldn't stand there any longer and tried to interrupt, "Empty..."

"Sect Leader Xu, what's the rush? Let's listen together." An elder from the Hundred Gathering Alliance suddenly spoke up, stopping Xu Yihan and casting a suspicious glance at him. "Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something fishy going on?"

Xu Yihan composed himself. "How could that be? I just think what they said is untrue."

"Whether it's true or not, just listen and see." Kong Shan chuckled as he accepted it, then gestured to the two rogue cultivators with his eyes, "You two continue talking, and when you're done, this thing is yours."

As he spoke, he weighed the two magical artifacts in his hands again.

Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu's eyes widened in surprise. Zhu Gengtian spoke first, "I'm telling you, this secret realm is full of money! We saw a huge field of rush flowers!"

All the cultivators present: ...

The group of people, who had been listening with great interest, were almost completely stunned by the sudden result.

"Did I hear that right? What did he say?"

"It looks like a rush?"

"Is it really a lampwick flower? A lampwick flower with one crystal per flower?"

Are you kidding them? What's so precious about rush flowers?
Even if there were a large area, it would only amount to a few hundred crystals at most!

Kongshan was also taken aback, wondering if he had misheard. "You said lampwick flower?"

"Yes, it's a huge patch! It grows right at the bottom of the ravine, a beautiful expanse of white. I spent three days picking over two hundred of them!" Zhu Gengtian said excitedly. "I've seen a patch like that on the mainland, but there were only a few dozen flowers, and other rogue cultivators were competing with me for them. I only managed to pick a dozen or so. But it's different in the secret realm. Nobody was competing with me; they were all mine!"

Everyone:...

Xu Yihan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but this tension and relaxation also revealed a hint of helplessness in his expression.

Kongshan twitched his lips. "I see. Well, congratulations! But besides this, did you get anything else?"

"Of course!" Zhu Gengtian nodded. "There are plenty of good things."

Everyone listened attentively once again.

That's right! The lampwick flower was just a starting point; the real focus is on what came next!
"...For example, the Phoenix Tail Bell, and the Riverless Grass whose stems contain poisonous sap. Oh, and we also caught a lot of spirit fish in the river!"

The Phoenix Tail Bells and the like are getting worse and worse, not much better than the Lantern Flower. Everyone's almost tired of hearing them.

It wasn't until the words "spirit fish" were mentioned that everyone held their breath again.

"What kind of spirit fish?" Kongshan asked.

"Tailless silverfish! One can sell for twenty crystals! The two of us spent the whole day catching them and caught more than thirty!" Zhu Gengtian exclaimed excitedly. "These fish swim so fast and are extremely difficult to catch. We really performed exceptionally well!"

Kongshan: ...

He could no longer laugh.

"Is this the good stuff you were talking about in the secret realm?" He asked through gritted teeth.

“Yes.” Zhu Gengtian, on the contrary, seemed puzzled, as if he didn’t understand why he was reacting this way. “What do you mean? Are you going back on your word and don’t want to give us the magic weapon? Let me tell you, there are so many people here. Your Qinghuan Valley is going back on its word. Don’t you care about your reputation?”

"Don't rush me, I haven't finished asking yet." Kong Shan looked at Chen Xiu with a tense face, "And what about you? Did you get these good things too?"

“I’m not quite like him,” Chen Xiu shook his head.

Kongshan seemed relieved and asked again, "Then tell me about it too."
