I’ve Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] 30

30: Qiu Wu

“What did you do to the city lord!” The leader was a man in Daoist robes, with a long beard and a few strands of pure white hair at his temples.

“Who are you? What I did to the city lord has anything to do with you?” Yun Yu asked. If she wasn’t mistaken, this person in front of her should be at the late Nascent Soul stage, and he gave her a faint sense of pressure.

“I am the Great Elder of the Indefinite Sect. Fenghua City and the Indefinite Sect are allies. When an ally is in trouble, we naturally have an obligation to help,” the Great Elder said, looking at Yun Yu warily. “And you, who are you?”

“Senior Brother, I recognize one of them,” Before Yun Yu could speak, a young-looking woman behind the Great Elder spoke up. Her gaze rested on Yun He, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

“If I remember correctly, you told me your name was Yun He, right?” the woman asked.

Swish. The gazes of most of the people present fell on Yun He.

Yun He blinked in a daze, carefully trying to identify the person in front of her. “You know me? Have we met before?”

“About a month ago, you met me by the river and gave me a healing elixir,” the woman said. “I was in a rather pathetic state at the time, so I might look a little different now, but I told you my name. I am Qiu Wu of the Indefinite Sect.”

Qiu Wu? Yun He thought for a moment, a look of realization on her face. “So it’s you. You look completely different from before.”

Qiu Wu smiled and cupped her hands to the Great Elder. “Senior Brother, Yun He once saved me. I can vouch for her character. She is definitely not an evil person.”

The Great Elder subconsciously frowned. Thinking of Qiu Wu’s status in the sect, he patiently explained.

“She may have shown you a kindness, but the facts are right here. So many cultivators have died tragically here. Does it have nothing to do with her? You can’t vouch for her not being a bad person just because she saved you. And you should have seen what her companion did to the city lord just now, right?”

“Elder, on what basis do you determine that we are bad people?” Yun Yu chuckled lightly. So they’re from the Indefinite Sect. “The reason I attacked the city lord was only because he wanted to take my life first. For my own safety, of course I had to strike first.”

“Didn’t you just say it yourself? You directly destroyed the cultivation of the Fenghua City Lord!” The elder was very dissatisfied with Yun Yu’s attitude. “Looking at your cultivation, you shouldn’t be rootless rogue cultivators. What sect are you from, to be so ruthless?”

Yun Yu raised her hand to stop Yun He, who was about to announce her sect. “No matter what sect we are from, you just need to know that our swords will only be swung at evil people.”

“I don’t know who sent the message for you to come, but I just want to tell you that the people who lost their lives here today deserved to die,” Yun Yu said.

Yun Yu did not plan to throw out the name of the Inquiring Dao Sect at the beginning. She wanted to see if the rumors about the Indefinite Sect were true.

“Do you have any proof for what you say?” the Great Elder asked. Looking at their posture, these people should have some background, perhaps also from a major sect.

“Proof?” Yun Yu’s lips twitched. “You just need to investigate on-site, and you will know our origins and whether what I said is true.”

“I am asking you a question. Don’t try to change the subject,” the Great Elder said patiently. “No matter who you are, all I see now is that you have attacked the city lord of Fenghua City. If you can’t give a suitable reason now, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Yun Yu did not speak, but looked down at the unconscious Fenghua City Lord, thinking about whether she should continue to bicker with these people or directly test their strength.

“Great Elder, why don’t we go into the city to inquire about the situation first,” Qiu Wu had received a kindness from Yun He and did not want her sect to clash with Yun He’s side.

The Great Elder paused for a moment. “We can, but we must first ensure the city lord’s safety,” As he spoke, his gaze also fell on the Fenghua City Lord.

If he remembered correctly, the Fenghua City Lord had already broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage a year ago. The person in front of him was only at the early Nascent Soul stage. To be able to so easily defeat someone a small stage higher than herself, she must be cultivating a high-level technique.

Thinking of this, the Great Elder’s anger at Yun Yu for striking first subsided a lot, and he could more rationally assess the current situation.

Although the Indefinite Sect was also a major sect, its foundation was not deep. The sect could only maintain its current position because of a few Spirit Transformation stage venerables and Qiu Wu. If the other party was really from a major sect with a deep foundation, it was still better to be on good terms with them.

After clearing his mind of the pros and cons, the Great Elder took a step back and said, “Is it convenient for you to hand over the city lord to us first? We can make a decision after we have investigated the truth of the matter, how about it?”

“You can. Just take him,” Yun Yu was very sure that she had already crippled the city lord’s nascent soul. According to the Indefinite Sect’s style, this Great Elder would probably not waste too many elixirs on a cripple.

The development of the situation was similar to what Yun Yu had thought. The Great Elder came up and checked the city lord’s injuries. Seeing that there was no possibility of a cure, his expression first became solemn, and then slowly relaxed.

After calling two low-level disciples to take the person away, the expression on his face changed several times before finally becoming gentle. “Is it convenient for you to sit down and talk?”

Yun Yu wanted to laugh in her heart. The Indefinite Sect was really as the rumors said, a sect with no principles. Most of the people in the sect also put interests first. Seeing that the city lord had no use value, they directly changed their attitude.

“With pleasure,” This result was also exactly what Yun Yu wanted. Since the Indefinite Sect was rushing over to clean up for them, she would just hand the matter over to them to avoid wasting unnecessary time here.

The Great Elder of the Indefinite Sect saw that Yun Yu was the decision-maker, so he politely invited her to the side, as if the previous conflict had never happened.

Mo Xiao didn’t know what the two of them discussed. She only saw Qiu Wu say a few words to the Great Elder and then walk towards Yun He.

“Thank you for your help before, Fellow Daoist Yun. This is my thank-you gift. Please accept it,” As she spoke, Qiu Wu took out a storage ring and handed it to Yun He.

“Fellow Daoist Qiu, you don’t have to be so polite. I just gave you a few healing elixirs,” Yun He politely refused. She had just helped out a little, and had never intended to ask for any reward.

“In my opinion, the elixirs Fellow Daoist Yun gave me can be said to have saved my life. Since it is a life-saving grace, please accept my thank-you gift, Fellow Daoist Yun,” Qiu Wu still held out her hand and said seriously. “I was indeed seriously injured at that time. If the person who came was not Fellow Daoist Yun, but someone who was greedy for wealth, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be standing here properly.”

Qiu Wu’s attitude was very sincere. According to her logic, Yun He had indeed saved her life in a way. For a life-saving grace, any reward was worth it.

Yun He was in a difficult position. After a moment of hesitation, she still reached out and took the thing Qiu Wu gave her, then checked the contents with her divine sense.

“This… Fellow Daoist Qiu, this thank-you gift is too valuable. I can’t accept it!” Yun He was shocked when she saw it! She wouldn’t say anything about the elixirs, but weren’t there a few too many Nascent Soul stage spirit artifacts in here! If these were converted into spirit stones, it would be about three times the amount of all the spirit stones she had now!

“Is it valuable?” Qiu Wu was a little puzzled and re-examined the things she had given. “There are just some spirit artifacts and elixirs that can be used by Golden Core stage cultivators.”

“Just some spirit artifacts?” A question mark appeared above Yun He’s head. “But Fellow Daoist Qiu, these spirit artifacts are quite good even in the eyes of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.”

“They are,” Qiu Wu replied readily. “I saw that you use a sword, Fellow Daoist Yun, so I prepared a few spirit swords for you. What’s wrong? Are they not to your liking?”

“Fellow Daoist Qiu, do you know how much these spirit swords are worth?” Yun He was even more puzzled. Since she knew these were Nascent Soul stage spirit swords, why did she give them to her, and a full six of them at that!

The expression on Qiu Wu’s face was also a little puzzled. “I know. Each one is probably worth a few thousand high-grade spirit stones.”

“A few thousand high-grade spirit stones?!” Yun He was shocked. These spirit swords were even more expensive than she had imagined!

Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi watched the interaction between the two. Seeing the same dazed and puzzled expressions on Yun He and Qiu Wu’s faces, Zuo Wuyi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in for a moment. You two continue, just pretend I’m not here,” Zuo Wuyi raised her hand to cover the corners of her mouth that were crazily turning up.

These two are too interesting!

I didn’t expect this seemingly unimpressive Indefinite Sect to have such an interesting disciple. This should be considered a good shoot from a bad bamboo, right?

Mo Xiao looked at Zuo Wuyi with some helplessness, then tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to be more restrained.

Finally, under Yun He’s tactful hint, Qiu Wu realized the problem and quickly explained, “Fellow Daoist Yun may not know, but I am actually an artifact refiner. These spirit swords were all refined by me.”

“If they were sold outside, they might be worth a few thousand high-grade spirit stones, but in my eyes, they are just forged from some ordinary materials,” Qiu Wu explained. “If you feel bad about it, Fellow Daoist Yun, you can also give me any strange materials you find in the future.”

Yun He nodded and asked with a hint of a probing tone, “You are a Nascent Soul stage artifact refiner?”

Qiu Wu nodded and said with some embarrassment, “Last time, I was looking for some materials and was accidentally attacked by a demonic beast, so I looked a little pathetic.”

“So that’s how it is,” If the other party was an artifact refiner, then Nascent Soul stage spirit swords were indeed not very precious in their eyes.

“Fellow Daoist Qiu, I can’t use so many spirit swords. Can I give your gift to others?” Yun He asked honestly.

“Of course you can. Since I’ve given them to you, Fellow Daoist Yun, they are yours. You can do whatever you want with them,” Qiu Wu replied readily, without the slightest hint of reluctance on her face.
