Chapter 1097: I Hate It When Others Pose Before Me

The elder seemed to be in his sixties. He had snowy hair and sharp eyebrows that were reminiscent of arrows. The intense aura of slaughter that he carried hinted that he was a veteran of the battlefield, and the great power pulsating from his body revealed that he was a Saint 4-dan Primordial Spirit realm primary stage cultivator.

”Heʼs one of the Twin Bandits of the Northern Meadows, Earth Flitting Bandit Dao Kou!”

Upon seeing the other partyʼs appearance, the face of the attendant swiftly paled in fright, and he quickly sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan. ”That man over there is known as the Earth Flitting Bandit, and heʼs a dominant figure among those living near the Northern Meadows. Not only does he wield outstanding strength, more importantly, he is arrogant and obeys no rules. Itʼs best not to get on his bad side.”

The Northern Meadows was the name of a territory under Qingyuan Conferred Empire, and it spanned over an area that was even larger than Hongyuan Tier-1 Empire. To be able to become a dominant power there bore testimony to the immense strength that Dao Kou wielded.

”So what if he obeys no rules? Vice Guild Leader Xu has already taken my spirit stones, is she intending to go back on her words?” Zhang Xuan shook his head, paying no heed to what the attendant was saying.

The Master Teacher Pavilion would not allow lawlessness to occur in areas where it was stationed. Even if the other party was a Primordial Spirit realm expert, he would still have to lower himself accordingly.

”Thatʼs not what I mean. The Earth Flitting Bandit Dao Kou is a vindictive person, so you have to be careful around him. Itʼs not his first time snatching spirit enchantment slots from others, and the previous clients who have turned him down ended up suffering tragic fates.”

While the attendant was filling Zhang Xuan in on the matter, Vice Guild Leader Xu shook her head and said, ”I have only conducted spirit enchantment for two clients so far, but this gentleman over here arrived before you, and he has already paid the fee for it as well. Thus, Iʼm afraid that you will have to wait for the next session!”

As the vice guild leader of the Spirit Awakener Guild, it was a given that she would have to obey the rules.

Not to mention, the person before her was a master teacher at that.

”You said that this lad came earlier than me? Thatʼs an easy problem to resolve!” With a hearty laugh, Dao Kou walked up to Zhang Xuan, and with an authoritative and pressurizing voice, he said, ”This friend over here, hand your slot to me. You paid a hundred high-tier spirit stones earlier, right? Here are two hundred, consider it compensation from me!”

As he said those words, he flicked his wrist, and a pile of two hundred high-tier spirit stones appeared on the ground before him.

To double the price in a single breath, this was definitely a deal that few could resist.

Right after saying those words, Dao Kou placed his hands behind his back, waiting for the other party to pick up the high-tier spirit stones. In his view, there was no way a Saint 1-dan cultivator would be so foolish as to offend him over a mere slot.

Contrary to his expectations, the young man did not seem to have heard what he had said at all. The young man continued looking at Vice Guild Leader Xu and asked, ”You said that it will be difficult to awaken its spirit, may I know what the difficulties you will face are? Perhaps, I might be able to offer some assistance…”

Seeing how the young man was disregarding his teacher, a look of displeasure surfaced on the middle-aged manʼs face as he bellowed furiously, ”Brat, are you deaf? Canʼt you hear that my teacher is talking to you?”

However, Zhang Xuan continued speaking to Vice Guild Leader Xu as if the middle-aged man was invisible. ”I might not have much of an understanding of spirit enchantment at the moment, but I am willing to learn.”

”Learn?” Vice Guild Leader Xu shook her head. ”Spirit awakener isnʼt a unique occupation, but it isnʼt something that one can master swiftly. Itʼs unlikely for you to be able to make it in time if you start learning now. Waking a dormant spirit requires very precise control, and itʼs a particularly troublesome process as well. I canʼt guarantee that Iʼll be able to succeed.”

”This…” Zhang Xuan frowned. ”Then… will there be any harm if you fail to wake the Golden Origin Cauldron up?”
