Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 820 - 768: Human Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, and Ghost Cultivators
"Mr. Jiang?" Du Li frowned slightly, "The Human Cultivator you invited?"
It was initially a Human Cultivator who discovered the Market was infiltrated by Demon Cultivators. He even packaged the evidence and witnesses together and delivered them. It’s just a pity...
Thinking of what happened later made him grind his teeth, jokingly saying, "Could he have brewed some sort of bewitching soup to persuade you so easily? Or did you receive some benefits from him to be an advocate?"
Qu Luming leaned forward, showing his clean ear, emphasizing by pointing at it, "See? Mr. Jiang helped me solve a big mess. Is that enough strength to vouch for a Little Demon Cultivator?"
Du Li’s eyes widened instantly. Upon careful sensing, the constraints on his clone were indeed lifted.
To have the capability to break Yuan Man’s methods, this person is worth getting to know!
Feeling joyful inside, he acted nonchalant and laughed, "A Human Cultivator pleading for his Demon Cultivator friend’s Demon Cultivator friend to a Ghost Cultivator, that’s interesting."
"Just tell me if we can make it work." Qu Luming was eager to make this happen.
Being able to gain a Demon Cultivator mole; complete Mr. Jiang’s entrusted task; and further his relationship with the little silly fox, it seemed like a win-win from every angle!
Du Li leisurely twisted his fingers, waiting until his clone was anxious before speaking, "Two conditions. First, you personally negotiate terms with that Demon Cultivator, ensure her restraint; second, when there’s time, I’d like to meet this Mr. Jiang."
"No problem, it’s all on me!" He agreed quickly, then hastily added, "Mr. Jiang is very busy daily. If you want to meet him, you’ll have to give advance notice so I can check his schedule."
Du Li raised an eyebrow slightly, quite displeased;
Qu Luming helplessly said, "I know you are the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Demon Realm Alliance, but so what? What does the Demon Realm Alliance have to do with a Human Cultivator?
Seriously speaking, the Human and Demon races in the Wilderness World... heh heh, frankly, if they acknowledge you, you’re considered a notable figure; if not, then you’re nothing.
Moreover, the Cultivation Realm always respects strength above all. Status and such barely hold any weight.
This person excels in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Incense Making, Tea Ceremony, I’ve also heard..."
Almost slipped and mentioned the little fox, he quickly stopped, coughed twice, "I’ve heard he’s adept at the Shennong Sect’s planting techniques; also skilled in Construction Technique, even his Immortal Chef skills are noteworthy.
Even with such diverse interests, Mr. Jiang’s combat abilities are not to be underestimated, he truly is a polymath! Mastering everything with ease, how could he not be busy?"
"Is he even human?" Du Li listened until his head buzzed.
He knew Human Cultivators were not as single-minded as many Demon Cultivators, having certain advantages in supplementary cultivation.
But even so, it’s impossible to learn everything and master everything!
Recalling Miss Hu Jiu’s endless praises, Qu Luming exaggerated, "Not only that, Mr. Jiang’s erudition is even more admirable; no matter how rare the object, he can discern its origin and purpose at a glance. Is that impressive or what?"
Hearing this, Du Li grew even more curious.
The clone had many bad habits, but pride was one of them. For him to lavish such praise, even if the other party isn’t that formidable, they must have many impressive traits.
Then, he suddenly thought of Xuanyuan Yangguang.
Also a Human Cultivator; with similarly extraordinary talent, nearly a divine being, could it be... he has reincarnated?!
"You go handle the Demon Cultivator’s matter first; when there’s a chance, I’d like to drink and chat with Mr. Jiang." As he spoke the last few words, his tone involuntarily lowered.
The excited Qu Luming didn’t notice the main body’s change in emotion, accepted his orders, and hurried back to Wo Hu Temple Market to report the good news.
What followed was straightforward.
Under Jiang Yuan’s coordination and witness, representing the Demon Realm Alliance, Ghost Cultivator Qu Luming, disguised as a Demon Cultivator, conducted friendly negotiations with Cang Lingdong, disguised as a Demon Cultivator. They reached an agreement and swore an oath with Daoxin to form an alliance.
Then, before the Wo Hu Temple Market Manager, they staged another act.
Pavilion Master Cang repeatedly apologized, claiming business kept him busy elsewhere, preventing him from returning in time. Burdening the Market Manager with the Demon Envoy’s inspection and delaying the Envoy’s important matters, he immediately offered two generous gifts to express his goodwill.
The three parties were delighted, and this secret investigation by the Demon Envoy at Wo Hu Temple Market drew to a close, each side gaining what they desired, everyone overjoyed!
"This is wonderful, Sister Cang is back too, I’ve missed you so much!" Miss Hu Jiu, who loves gossip, with her keen intelligence network, had already caught wind of the situation at the slightest rustle.
She had thought Sister Cang was caught and brought back, so she hurriedly ran over with her dress in hand only to find her little gentleman was present with a smiley demeanor, signaling all was well! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Sure enough, even the Demon Envoy nodded enthusiastically with a smile.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it’s no wonder, the little gentleman I set my eyes on could even handle undercover Demon Cultivator issues... uh, maybe because Demon Envoy Qu Luming was simply too inept, unable to recognize the magic power on the other.
Anyway, it’s a grand affair of deceiving everyone, definitely worth celebrating tonight!
Qu Luming’s eyes went straight when he saw the little fox;
But the little fox’s mind was all torn on her beloved little gentleman, so Jiang Yuan kept receiving [Willpower +1], [Willpower +1]...
"To say the least, Miss Hu Jiu is at least a divine artifact for boosting willpower, very useful. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to slowly farm points, no side quests available for rewards right now." Jiang Yuan declined their invitation to celebrate together, first returning to his small courtyard from the Floating Market, then used the Ancient Teleportation Array to directly reach Cold Spring City.
