A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour
Chapter 129 Being targeted
Wushuang hadn't found the Thousand Machine House she'd been dreaming of, but because of the Thousand Gold Wood incident, many people approached her, wanting to buy spirit wood. Wushuang didn't refuse, but instead selected some relatively common, but still rare, spirit wood to sell. This time, she also made a good profit, selling a lot of unused spirit wood and some ore, which in return brought her a lot of spirit stones, which instantly filled her wallet.
This also led to many disciples of Qianji Pavilion getting to know Wushuang. Some of them came just to join in the fun, and some came to trade, but everyone soon became familiar with each other.
Only then did Wushuang realize that the man who had attempted to seize the Thousand Gold Wood from her hand was none other than Fang Ke Zhenren, the nephew of the sect's Second Elder's concubine. Crucially, the concubine was extremely favored. Though not particularly gifted, he had been accepted as a personal disciple by the Second Elder. He was a tyrannical figure within the sect, often leading disciples to act with impunity. Even the most ordinary disciples had to yield to him. Meanwhile, the stall owner, seemingly ordinary, was actually quite influential. He was Zhenren Yuyi, a direct disciple of Yan Xiao Zhenzun. He adored the art of mechanical puppetry and possessed exceptional talent, earning him the affections of Yan Xiao Zhenzun. However, he was a low-key individual and a recluse, rarely seen outside the market town.
What Wushuang didn't know was that ever since she arrived at the market, a pair of eyes had been constantly watching her. The man looked sunny and handsome, and seemed to have a good relationship with everyone. However, he only observed Wushuang secretly, and seemingly casually asked others about her. When Wushuang left the market, he also hurried away, as if he had something urgent to do.
He flashed and flew back to his residence on his sword, seemingly suppressing some emotion as he eagerly rushed to a small courtyard deep within the inner sect. It was remote, and the spiritual energy wasn't very strong, but it was a quiet, undisturbed place. Returning to the courtyard, he breathed heavily as he entered the house. At first glance, the house looked plain and simple, but he took strange steps as he approached a wall. It was clear that the entire house was enshrined in a formation. Furthermore, there was a hidden door in the wall, shrouded in a formation so sophisticated that even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't notice anything unusual. This hidden door led directly underground.
Only after he entered did he breathe a sigh of relief, a smile of relief spreading across his face. However, this smile was tinged with an inexplicable strangeness. Perhaps it was because this place was too secluded and protected by a formation, or perhaps he was too careless. He didn't notice the two figures following him into the dark room.
The two figures were none other than Wushuang's two spiritual pets, Xiaoli and Xiaomeng. The two little creatures cautiously hid behind a corner, half smiling, but their eyes widened in shock at the scene before them!
The two little ones didn't dare to delay. They guessed that their master might have been targeted by this pervert, and they had to tell their master quickly. In the following days, every time Wushuang went out, he felt someone was watching him. In order not to alert the enemy, Wushuang did not go looking for that person.
Some beasts in disguise were truly despicable, but she was, after all, a guest at another sect. If she wasn't careful, she might end up meddling in other people's affairs and causing unpopularity both inside and outside. Therefore, she wouldn't easily interfere in their affairs. Of course, if this happened outside, she would definitely intervene, after all, she had the ability to do so. Although the other party, like her, was at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, Wushuang was still very confident in her own combat prowess. After all, she was going there with a stab at a high ranking.
But what troubled Wushuang was that the man seemed to be merely watching him silently, with no intention of striking. He had given him a chance, finding a secluded spot, but he remained impassive and refused to strike. Wushuang thought it might be due to connections within the sect, but he couldn't go down the mountain alone. It would be bad if he didn't provoke the man into action and instead attracted other unexpected trouble. Even within the sect, finding a secluded place to be alone after Wushuang showed up wasn't easy, especially since the disciples of the Tianji Pavilion were quite welcoming.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. One day, Wushuang was delighted to finally receive two meticulously crafted puppets. One was a humanoid puppet, crafted from the rare wood of Qianjinmu. Its stature was tall and straight, lifelike and lifelike. It exuded a powerful aura, and its combat power approached that of a Jindan cultivator. While not particularly impressive, its defense was exceptional, capable of withstanding the full force of a Yuanying cultivator. When used well, it was truly impressive and truly awe-inspiring! The other puppet was a delicate, palm-sized spider. Despite its small size, each slender spider leg was incredibly delicate, capable of firing thin threads made of silkworm silk, which could be used for both its own locomotion and to provide leverage for others. These two puppets, one rigid, one flexible, large, one small, formed a stark contrast, yet they complemented each other perfectly. They would undoubtedly become Wushuang's future allies and supporters.
Master Yuzhi was very happy to see Wushuang was satisfied, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Master Wushuang, I wonder if you still have such precious spiritual wood, can you buy some for me?" He also knew that such treasures of heaven and earth are hard to come by, and no one has more, but he really wanted it so much that he had to ask tentatively with a thick face.
Wushuang saw his extremely eager and clear eyes, Wushuang smiled slightly, took out a small piece of Qianjin Wood and handed it to him, "This is the last bit, I'll sell it to you."
Master Yuzhi excitedly accepted the Thousand Gold Wood and thanked him profusely. He carefully put the Thousand Gold Wood away, as if holding a priceless treasure. He had only wanted to give it a try, but he hadn't expected the other party to actually be willing to sell it to him.
Wushuang watched him ecstatically, feeling a sense of relief. She knew this piece of Qianjin Wood was of immense significance to Master Yu. It could only truly reach its full value in the hands of a skilled craftsman, and of course, Wushuang wouldn't sell it to just anyone. One reason was that the two of them were dealing privately, and another was that Wushuang had learned about him privately, which had led Xiaoli and Xiaomeng to pay more attention to him. Both reported back that he was a kindhearted person, simple and genuine, a rare and precious person to be associated with.
"If I have the chance in the future, I will help you find more spiritual wood." Wushuang said softly.
A trace of gratitude flashed in Master Yuzhi's eyes, and he nodded seriously, "Thank you Master Wushuang! If there's anything you need help with in the future, just let me know, and I'll do my best!"
Wushuang said happily, "When you are able to make a Thousand Machine House, can you help me make one?"
Yuzhi Zhenren said happily: "Yes, of course. As long as I can make it, I will definitely make it for you first, but that may take a long time." After saying that, he touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
Wushuang smiled and nodded, then turned and left. The spirit stones she had given away were returned with a hundred times the value. What was more important was that she also received a favor in return.
