“Daoist brothers, I have listened to you talk for quite some time. Do you wish to join the Sword Sect?”
The man in short clothes asked.
Fang Xiang nodded: “That’s right, but we don’t have anyone who can introduce us, so we have no way to join.”
“I can help you find a referee. You just need to spend some immortal stones to find one.”
The man in the short-sleeved shirt said in a low voice.
“How many immortal stones are needed?” Fang Xiang immediately became interested after hearing this.
The man in short clothes looked around, then waved his hand: “Come with me, this is not the place to talk!”
Fang Xiang and David followed the man in short sleeves into a house on the side of the road!
The man in the short shirt took David and Fang Xiang into a room that was dimly lit and filled with a musty and rotten smell.
He closed the door, turned around, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said in a low voice, “Finding someone to introduce someone is both difficult and easy, but you have to spend a certain amount of immortal stones to expedite the process, no more, no less, exactly 30,000 immortal stones.”
After hearing the words of the man in the short shirt, David immediately realized that he was a broker.
Hearing that, Fang Xiang’s face turned deathly pale, like a wilted eggplant, and he went completely limp.
He sighed in resignation, “Thirty thousand immortal stones. Where would I get that much? I could only collect a little over ten thousand. The difference is too big.”
While speaking, he sat languidly, his eyes filled with disappointment and helplessness.
David felt sorry for Fang Xiang’s condition. He gently patted Fang Xiang’s shoulder, then looked at the man in short clothes and said firmly, “I will help Fang Xiang get his immortal stone.”
Fang Xiang suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise and gratitude. His lips moved, but he didn’t say anything. He just looked at David with eyes full of gratitude.
The short-shirted man’s eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curved into an even wider smile. He nodded hurriedly and said, “Okay, very good! Let’s start right away.”
After that, he took David and Fang Xiang out of the room, and after several turns, they arrived at a remote courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, one could see a disciple wearing a Sword Sect robe sitting arrogantly on a stone bench, legs crossed, looking extremely arrogant.
The man in short clothes approached with a wide smile, bowed and saluted as he said, “Master, these two fellow Daoists wish to join the Sword Sect. They have already prepared their immortal stones. We would be very grateful if you would be willing to look after them well.”
The Sword Sect disciple glanced at David and Fang Xiang, slowly stood up, crossed his arms, and said haughtily, “Whether you can join the Sword Sect depends entirely on my word. I have recorded your information. Tomorrow is the day of the assessment. Whether you pass or not depends on your tribute.”
