Soon, only Xiaolin and her three companions, along with Qin Hanchu and his three, remained at the scene.
It was then that Qin Hanchu asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Our two companions have perished."
"But I have already collected their rewards."
"Since we are all part of the collection team, their rewards should be divided equally among us eight."
"Seven hundred and fifty each!"
As she spoke, Xiaolin presented four law crystals to Qin Hanchu and his group.
The expressions on Qin Hanchu and his group's faces were filled with surprise.
Xiaolin's group could have easily kept the money for themselves, but they hadn't expected them to share it with Qin Hanchu's group.
Despite their surprise, the four accepted the crystals without hesitation.
"Is there anything else?" Qin Hanchu inquired.
"Would you be interested in participating in similar missions next time?" Xiaolin asked.
"If we have the time, we can cooperate again," Long Zhu replied.
"Alright, we'll be in touch later."
With that, Xiaolin left the tavern with her three teammates.
"She's taken a liking to Hanchu's top-tier immortal artifact."
"Perhaps it's not about snatching the artifact, but Qin Hanchu can make the missions smoother."
Long Zhu had seen through Xiaolin's intentions.
While three thousand law crystals were not insignificant, if Qin Hanchu were to participate in a few more such missions, the gains would undoubtedly be greater than those three thousand law crystals.
"Let's go buy immortal pills to enhance our strength first."
This mission had yielded substantial rewards.
The money from Old Ancestor Baili and the others was enough to purchase one or two immortal pills of the Reincarnation Law.
By refining these immortal pills, their strength could be further improved.
...
Both the mortal world and the dominant world are inseparable from the most primitive desires.
In the eastern district of Gu Dao City, there is a Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Most of the women here are spiritual realm songstresses and dancers.
Every adventure of a warrior is fraught with danger and tension.
Therefore, people come here daily to relax their minds and bodies.
In a private room of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, a handsome young man lay languidly on a couch.
Beside him were three beautiful dancers.
Two of them were massaging him, while the third was feeding him immortal fruits.
This fellow's life was truly one of indulgence.
Bang, bang...
After a knock on the door, a middle-aged man entered.
If Qin Hanchu were present, he would undoubtedly recognize him.
This middle-aged man was none other than the commander of the border guard.
He was also the one who had inquired about the grade of Qin Hanchu's Mu Qing Sword.
"Weren't you stationed at the border? Why are you back?"
Seeing the newcomer, the young man asked languidly.
"Young Master, a while ago I discovered a high-grade immortal artifact of the Life and Death Law."
"Most importantly, this immortal artifact was in the possession of a martial artist of the Immortal King realm."
"This fellow ventured into the territory of an opposing force for a few thousand law crystals, which indicates he is not the offspring of a major family."
Within the Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion, there were also family influences.
The ancestors of these families were high-ranking officials within the Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion.
The young man in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was a descendant of the Fu family of the Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion.
Like Qin Hanchu, this fellow also practiced the Life and Death Law.
As for his realm, he was merely an Immortal King.
Other Immortal Kings had to strive for cultivation resources themselves.
However, as a descendant of the Fu family, he did not have to worry about cultivation resources.
Of course, there were still things he desired but could not obtain.
Although the Fu family was quite powerful, they did not possess high-grade Life and Death immortal artifacts within their clan.
In recent years, he had been searching for high-grade Life and Death immortal artifacts, but without any leads.
Even esteemed establishments like the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion lacked high-grade Life and Death immortal artifacts.
The higher the grade of the immortal artifact, the greater the demand and the scarcer the supply.
Even at the Immortal Saint level, it was not easy for everyone to acquire high-grade Law immortal artifacts.
Upon learning that Qin Hanchu, an Immortal King, possessed a high-grade Life and Death Law immortal artifact, the Fu family young master immediately sat up. "Are you sure? Where is he?"
"He should be in the city."
"I witnessed him use that immortal sword to repel over a dozen Immortal Kings."
"In addition to the high-grade immortal sword, his Life and Death Law martial skills should also be of a very high grade."
The middle-aged man replied.
"What is his name? Find him for me." The Fu family young master said excitedly.
"I don't know his name, but I have his image recorded."
"With your status, Young Master, it will be easy to find out his name and location."
As he spoke, the man displayed an image of Qin Hanchu's appearance.
"If this is true, I will grant you a great merit."
"You may go."
The middle-aged man quickly bowed respectfully. "Yes, I wish Young Master all the best in achieving your desires."
The Fu family's influence within the Gu Dao Immortal Pavilion was indeed significant.
In less than an hour, Qin Hanchu's information was delivered to the Fu family young master.
Not only Qin Hanchu's name and realm, but even his current location was accurately provided.
After purchasing resources for cultivation, Qin Hanchu and his group returned to their inn.
Just as they were about to go upstairs, the Fu family young master, who was sitting not far away, stood up. "Qin Hanchu, let's talk!"
Hearing the Fu family young master's voice, Qin Hanchu frowned.
He was certain he had never met the Fu family young master before, so how could this person recognize him?
"Who are you?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"You don't need to know who I am; you only need to know that you cannot afford to offend me."
"I heard you possess a high-grade immortal artifact of the Life and Death Law?"
"And I believe you also have a high-grade Life and Death Law martial technique, correct?"
The Fu family young master asked arrogantly.
Qin Hanchu knew that revealing the Mu Qing Sword would bring trouble, but he hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly.
"Your information is incorrect; my immortal artifact is only mid-grade," Qin Hanchu stated.
"Show it to me." The Fu family young master demanded.
"Why should I show it to you?" Qin Hanchu retorted.
"Because this is Gu Dao City, and our Fu family is one of the five major families of Gu Dao City."
"Selling the immortal artifact and martial technique to me is your honor."
"If you refuse to hand them over, I assure you that your days will not be easy."
The Fu family young master's face displayed a smile, but his words were filled with threats.
"I believe private combat is prohibited in Gu Dao City."
"Can your Fu family disregard this rule?" Qin Hanchu inquired.
"You guessed correctly; our Fu family can indeed disregard this rule."
"If you do not hand over the high-grade immortal artifact, I will arrange for Immortal King realm martial artists to 'entertain' you daily."
Qin Hanchu stared coldly at the Fu family young master. He transmitted a message to Axiang, asking, "If I get rid of the Fu family young master, will the Fu family elders retaliate for him?"
"As long as you don't cripple or kill him, the Fu family elders should not interfere in the competition between lower-level martial artists."
"I am referring to the rules I established back then; I am unsure of the current situation." Axiang explained.
"It seems that this Gu Dao City is no longer a place I can stay."
"If he insists on taking the Mu Qing Sword, I will have no choice but to fight him."
Qin Hanchu absolutely would not give the Mu Qing Sword to this fellow.
Even if it meant a fight, he would not compromise.
