My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Panda Novel

A phenomenon surfaced in the sky and earth as the level of spiritual power in the atmosphere spiked.

Shen Ying had been in the middle of having lunch. Just when she picked up a piece of meat, the earth suddenly trembled and the mountains swayed, causing her hand to shake and the meat in her hand to drop to the ground.

What a waste…

At the side, Yi Qing picked up another piece of meat and placed it into her bowl calmly.

Great chef!

Just as Shen Ying was about to eat, however, Lonemoon suddenly rushed in with burning impatience.

“Shen Ying, did you guys sense the commotion just now?”

“Earthquake?” She tilted her head.

“Earthquake your head!” Lonemoon glared at her.

“Master, the level of Spirit Qi in the east has spiked.” Yi Qing raised his head and looked towards the right, explaining in a solemn voice, “A unique treasure is most likely descending into the world.”

“That’s right, and judging from the disturbance, this item can’t be anything small.” Lonemoon continued excitedly, “You guys hurry and pack up. We’ll go over to check it out.”

“Get ready for what?” Shen Ying raised her head.

“To get ready to go over there, of course!” Lonemoon habitually answered. “A unique treasure has descended into the world. No matter what it is, it’s an item with no Master. The sooner we arrive there, the greater our advantage.”

“Do we need those?”

“Don’t we need it?”

“Is there a need?”

“…” Lonemoon hesitated for a moment before he thought of something.

Holy shit! They really didn’t need it!

Besides him and Yi Qing, the rest of them in the Invincible Sect were Body Cultivators. Body cultivation focused on pure energy, so Dharma artifact and spirit treasures were not of any use to Body Cultivators. The only things useful to them would be small doses of spirit herbs and elixirs, but even those were only useful for emergencies when they were on the verge of death; moreover, the one thing that the whole Invincible Sect had the most was spirit herbs.

There was a ready treasure right in front of them, but not a single one of them could use it. This feeling was…

Lonemoon faintly felt as if his head been doused with a bucket of cold water, all his prior excitement vanishing. After having been in the Blackheaven Sect for so long, he was used to fighting for resources. To suddenly be equipped with a cheat was so lonely!

“I’m also hungry.” He immediately took the remaining rice for himself and sat down, his heart full of indignation. He glanced over at a certain foodie and could not help but nag, “In the afternoon, you bring the disciples to the back of the mountain to harvest the radish… spirit herbs.” He then took out a note and passed it to her. “This is a checklist. Harvest them according to the numbers on it, not one herb less.”

“Pulling out radishes?” Shen Ying hesitated. “How about I get rabbit to…”

“No!” Lonemoon glared at her coldly, cutting off her intention to slack off. “They are demons, so they are surrounded by demonic aura. This batch of radishes—pu… these spirit herbs are to be given to the Xuan Yuan Family to refine pills, so they can’t be polluted with demonic aura. You have to go.”

“So troublesome. Can we not harvest them?”

“Not harvest?!” He sneered as he scanned her over. “Do you think it’s such an easy thing to maintain the normal operations of a sect? If we don’t harvest radishes, how are we going to get spirit stones?”

“Uh… Is our expenses very huge?” She didn’t like shopping either.

“You have the audacity to say that!” Lonemoon exploded immediately. “Isn’t it all your fault? Look at the entire Upper Azure World, no look at the entire Azure World. Which immortal sect spends 80% of their expenditure on food?” If we aren’t going to earn money, are we going to sit idle and eat?

“The main point is, I could’ve turned a blind eye to it if you were the only one eating like that…” He scanned over left and right at the girls who were scooping up rice. “But you freaking brought the whole sect along in eating? As the sect master, don’t you know that eating does not help them in cultivation?”

“Uh… they’re one of us. It’s not nice to just eat by myself right?” She looked up at the bowl of rice in his hand, inwardly thinking: don’t you eat everyday too?

“Alright, I shall not fight about this with you.” He took in a deep breath and turned around to point at Feng Ying who was to the right, asking, “But what happened to this fellow? Why is he still here?” And using the cutlery that he always used!

“Everyone who comes in here is a guest.”

“Guest your head!” Wasn’t he the Soul Chasing Tower’s Tower Master? Get back to your Soul Chasing Tower! Why are you here to freeload? Doesn’t rice cost spirit stones? Why did he have the right to take up his seat and eat his portion of the food?

“Hmph!” Feng Ying sneered, not paying regard to Lonemoon’s unhappiness. “You think that I am willing to stay in your lousy sect?”

“Heh heh…” Put down that bowl if you’re unwilling then!

“You guys have not given me an explanation for the matters of my Soul Chasing Tower?” Feng Ying immediately struck the table and spoke sternly, “Elder Lonemoon, I have painstakingly spent all my effort to build the Soul Chasing Tower and you guys just destroyed it like that. At this juncture now, you want to let this matter pass simply by saying that you came knocking on the wrong door because you were eager to save a life? Anyway I don’t care. Either you guys compensate me for my Soul Chasing Tower, or kill me now. Otherwise, I will not leave.”

You snatched my bowl yet you’re still trying to talk reason!

The blazing anger in Lonemoon’s eyes abruptly turned calm, somewhat eerily. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth moved up and he gave a smile that was like spring breeze to Feng Ying…

Shen Ying and Yi Qing both shivered. Uh-oh… Father Niu only smiled in such a frightening manner when he was about to trick people.

(⊙_⊙)

“Tower Master Ying, you’re right. This matter was indeed our mistake, so we should give you an explanation.” He smiled more amicably as he entered professional-mode.

“Hmph, at least you are sensible.”

“Rest assured, Tower Master, leave the rebuilding of the Soul Chasing Tower to the Invincible Sect,” Lonemoon said with a face of confidence. “My Invincible Sect is a publicly acknowledged hidden great immortal sect. Such an amount of spirit stones is still within our means. Furthermore, we’ll compensate your tower with some exquisite spirit stones. What do you think?”

“Really?” Feng Ying’s eyes lit up and he scrutinized him with tinge of suspicion in his gaze. “Are you lying to me? You won’t regret it?”

“Why would I? I, Niu… I, Lonemoon, am also considered an elder of a sect. I am a man of his word!” He smiled till his eyes became a line. He stepped forward and tapped on Feng Ying’s shoulders, and spoke earnestly, “To be honest, I have long heard of the renowned reputation of the Soul Chasing Tower. You managed to build a network larger than the aristocratic families within a hundred years. I really do admire you.”

“Indeed!” Talking about his profession, Feng Ying was full of pride. “You don’t know how much effort I have invested into this. I am not bragging, but the Soul Chasing Tower does not lose out to those top immortal sects.”

“Indeed, indeed.” Lonemoon nodded quickly in agreement. “But it’s such a pity. Although the Soul Chasing Tower has information about the Upper Azure World, it’s still a little lacking in the network with the Middle and Lower Azure World, leaving it imperfect. Tower Master, why not fix this part? And Soul Chasing Tower can surpass even the aristocratic families.”

Feng Ying furrowed his brows. “I also had this thought before, but those who are not of Soul Formation cultivation in the Three Realms cannot move around freely. I am in the Upper Azure World, so it is difficult for me to get first hand news of the other two realms…”

“I do have an idea on how to solve this problem.”

“Truly?” Stunned, Feng Ying took two steps forward. “Supremacy Lonemoon, are you speaking the truth?”

“Of course. You forgot that although you can’t roam freely in the Three Realms, you can do so in the Demon Realm. I have an absolutely foolproof method…” he said earnestly. “If you allow it, it can help to achieve your goals.”

“Of course I agree to such a good deal.” Feng Ying was excited but looked a little worried. “What do you want in exchange?”

“Everybody that comes in here is a guest. Talking about requests hurts feelings. Since you’re a straightforward person, why don’t we make use of this opportunity to use the spirit stones for rebuilding as a share investment my Invincible Sect is undertaking?”

“What are shares?”

“This question is a little complicated. How about you come with me to the study and discuss it?”

“Alright, let’s go.”

“Please, Tower Master.”

With that said, the two of them exited the hall excitedly…

Yi Qing was one of the confused audience. He asked, “Master, how many percent of the Soul Chasing Tower will he lose?”

Shen Ying: “I guess that depends on how angry Father Niu was?”

“…”

Trying to get money out of Father Niu’s pockets… Someone had to tell him that he should never mess with a godfather-like character. Rest in peace!
