Chapter 305 - 304: Freeloading
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu had reputations to uphold. When they went to the Union Sect, of course, they had to change their appearances and sneak in.
The Sect Leader of Artifact Refinement Peak was named Tang Ben. His Artifact Refining Technique was considered legendary in Nine Continents. Even before becoming an immortal, the Dao ancestor defied the heavens and refined the outrageous Immortal Artifact Yin Yang Heaven Seal.
Apart from the Dao ancestor, no one in the Nine Continents’ history of the Body Integration Realm could be compared with Tang Ben’s artifact refining ability.
But geniuses always have their impractical sides, and Tang Ben was a good example of this.
He had crafted Luminous Pearls that could only be used during the day, a heater that could withstand all weather conditions but could only be used by those at the Nascent Soul Stage, a flying sword that could only fly away and not return, and a top-grade Daoist tool that needed a vat of blood for recognition…
“It would be great if we could use Divine Sense and easily find Tang Ben,” said Bai Hongtu in a low voice.
Jiang Li cast Bai Hongtu a glance.
Using Divine Sense in the Union Sect would probably expose all the acts taking place in various rooms before they even found Tang Ben.
“I’m an honest man.”
Feeling Jiang Li’s gaze, Bai Hongtu emphasized how honest and pure his intentions had always been.
“Gentlemen, please come in. You can call me You Si.” The madams of the Union Sect were all charming young women, stirring up desires.
The appearance of cultivators depends on their mental age.
Quite a few guests who visited here wished to enjoy You Si’s services, but unfortunately, You Si was very discerning. She appeared friendly to every cultivator, but there was an unbridgeable gap that could not be covered by mere appearances.
“Bring us your best girl…” Bai Hongtu started speaking out of habit and then suddenly realized they weren’t there for that purpose this time. He hurriedly corrected himself, “We’re here to find somebody.”
“Everyone who comes here is looking for someone. Which lady would you prefer to summon?” You Si laughed slightly.
“We’re here to find a man.” Bai Hongtu tried to explain, but he couldn’t say outright that they were looking for Tang Ben.
No one who came to the Union Sect used their real name.
“We do have men.”
The Union Sect did not solely cater to male cultivators, many female cultivators also enjoyed coming to the Union Sect for fun.
“However, I wouldn’t recommend same-sex practice. The mingling of Yang forces cannot improve your cultivation level. If you two simply favor men, then I have nothing to say.”
Bai Hongtu felt there was a big misunderstanding.
Jiang Li took a step forward in this crucial moment, “Actually, we’re here to sell clothes.”
“Clothes?” You Si thought the duo didn’t look much like tailors. Besides, there weren’t any clothes that one couldn’t find in the Union Sect. Even if it were a royal robe, they could replicate it.
Of course, they didn’t dare to imitate the clothes of the Human Emperor.
“This piece of clothing is called an Invisibility Robe,” Jiang Li unveiled, “Once worn, one can choose which parts of their body they wish to expose.”
You Si’s eyes lit up, “Gentlemen, please come inside for detailed discussion.”
They were treated as VIPs and led into the inner gate of the Union Sect. According to Bai Hongtu’s experience, one generally needed to spend a specific amount of spirit stones to gain the privilege to enter this place.
Overall, the attractiveness and charm of the inner sect disciples of the Union Sect were a notch or two above that of the outer sect, thanks to the methods of the Union Sect.
Jiang Li handed the Invisibility Robe to You Si, indicating her to try it on.
The Invisibility Robe could automatically adjust its size according to the wearer’s body structure. Whether it was Jiang Li, who had a moderate figure, or Zhang Konghu, who was burly, or even You Si, with her curvaceous figure, they could all wear it.
As soon as You Si wore it and moved her mind, the sleeve of the robe disappeared, revealing the white arm and armpit.
Her beautiful eyes slightly widened, she didn’t expect the robe had such a magical capability.
Next, the hem of the robe disappeared, exposing the pure, rounded legs.
The fabric around the waist disappeared, revealing the sexy belly and navel.
Bai Hongtu felt that Tang Ben was indeed a genius. This was far more exciting than watching a girl strip.
Watching the beauty gradually decreasing the robe’s fabric and exposing large parts of her enticing skin was indeed an enjoyable sight.
You Si wanted to continue experimenting with the Invisibility Robe, to see if it could remove fabric from other parts…
“How’s the robe?” Jiang Li asked, interrupting You Si’s idea to keep experimenting.
“Excellent.” You Si was very satisfied with the Invisibility Robe. This piece could greatly ignite men’s desire. If all the sect members wore it, it would surely be an invincible weapon.
“Unfortunately, the robe is styled for men.” You Si said regretfully. She was gorgeous enough to carry off a man’s robe with charm.
She believed that once she wore a woman’s version of the robe, it would definitely catch Jiang Li’s attention.
Seeing Jiang Li’s calm, unfaltering demeanor made her feel a sense of defeat.
“This robe is just a sample,” Jiang Li explained, “If you are satisfied, we can discuss further cooperation.”
“So you mean we can customize the clothes?”
“Of course,” Jiang Li nodded, “But we can’t find the maker of the robes now.”
“No clues?”
“He should be somewhere inside your Union Sect. That’s why we came here.”
“What’s his name?”
Jiang Li wouldn’t disclose Tang Ben’s name naturally, “He is probably around one meter eighty, nearly bald, with muscular arms, and dark skin…”
“So, he’s dark-skinned? I think I remember him.” You Si realized.
“What name does he go by when he comes here?” Bai Hongtu asked.
“Tang Dahui.”
Hearing this name, the two knew undoubtedly that it was Tang Ben.
He seems to be our regular customer. He often competes with Emperor Wei and Dream River Emperor for girls. He must be a great cultivator.” Apparently, Tang Ben was quite famous in the Union Sect.
“So, Tang Dahui is the maker of the robe.”
Jiang Li nodded: “Is he here now?”
“Yes,” You Si calculated the time, “He should be coming out soon.”
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu didn’t want to know what kind of time You Si was calculating.
“I was in a hurry when I left, and I didn’t bring enough spirit stones. Can I get a credit?” A customer, Tang Dahui, wearing his clothes back on, asked cautiously.
Seeing the girl who was obedient to him a moment ago suddenly changed her face, Tang Dahui knew he probably couldn’t get credit.
He could rely on his Body Integration Realm cultivation to force his way out, but he wanted to be a repeat customer, so that wouldn’t be wise.
“Actually, I’ve brought a freshly refined Spiritual Treasure.”
The girl’s face immediately brightened up.
“Look at this, it’s the Blood-drinking mad dragon knife. The more blood it sucks, the sharper the blade becomes. Its sharpness has no upper limit. As long as it recognizes your blood, the knife will be yours.”
Tang Dahui pulled out an exquisite long knife suitable for both men and women, pleasing to the eye.
Tang Dahui insisted that his visits to the Union Sect were not for pleasure, but to enhance his artistic taste, so that the Spiritual Treasures he refined would have aesthetic appeal.
The girl’s eyes brightened. This was a valuable growing Spiritual Treasure; it was worth serving him this time.
“But there is a small problem with this knife.”
“What is it?”
“After wounding an enemy, it might recognize the enemy as its master because of the abundant blood.”
The girl was silent for a few seconds, then shouted, “Help, there’s a man here who didn’t pay me!”
