When the three arrived at the Celestial Cloud Sect's temporary residence, a servant rushed to inform the disciples thinking that the three had agreed to their demand.
Passersby stared at the onyx condor in bewilderment, when the inner disciples came out and saw the spirit beast they couldn't determine it's rank, neither could the person who was hiding in the shadows.
"Dear guests please enter" Assuming that the other party had agreed to their request they welcomed the three ladies in gleefully.
The male disciples ogled at their beauty, trying to imagine how they would look beneath their masks, the male disciples behaviors made the female give stares of jealousy towards the ladies, Zi Hua just ignored them without minding their attitude unlike how her previous self would react.
The governor had prepared a lavish abode for the esteemed guests.
Zi Hua and co followed the group into a dainty pavilion in the garden, there was only about a dozen or so disciples that came here so they all fit around the table.
"Misses it's a pleasure to meet you, may I know your names?" A young man in his late 20s started talking and asked, he seemed to have the highest cultivation and was the leader.
"Before you ask others you should introduce yourself" Even the usually quiet Anemone got disgusted and annoyed by their stares.
"Ah sorry, where are my manners, I am a inner disciple of Celestial Cloud Sect, Mo Lu" Not the least faltered by the beauty's feisty attitude Mo Lu introduced himself.
"I'm Gardenia, this this Anemone and Hua" Gardenia took the initiative to speak seeing that her two companions kept quiet.
"What beautiful names, but the three of you are even more beautiful than flowers" Mo Yu gave a cringe-worthy compliment thinking that it would move the girls' hearts, however they didn't bat an eyelash at him.
"Ahem, as you may know we have come here for the Twilight Purple Lotus, originally we were heading to Aboveboard Arcane Sect, however we received the news that it is now in your hands"
Mo Lu dared not be discourteous since the three ladies were able to bring out an lord breaking pill, even the core disciples from their sect may have trouble getting their hands on one, never mind bringing it out for an auction.
This just shows the scarcity of pills.
"Of course, this is why we are here today"
"Then, do you mean..." Mo Yu looked at them in ecstasy.
"We refuse"
"Pardon?" He was absolutely dumbstruck.
"We refuse"
"YOU!" Even after they showed such goodwill the other party still dared to refuse.
All the disciples immediately surrounded them in a battle formation.
Zi Hua sat there quietly seemingly watching a show that had nothing to do with her.
"So this is how Celestial Cloud Sect does things" Zi Hua had expected this much.
"Ladies, it's a pity to harm you, if you agree we will let you off, if you do not, even if you are killed here Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect won't become hostile towards us just for three people" They had thought that the three had come from Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect since only the three first rate powers had the ability to be able to sell a lord breaking pill.
Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect only accepts females, opposite to the other first rate power Deep Sky Dragon Sect which only accepts males, it was said that these two sects were started by the two highly ranked spirit beasts that came from a higher continent, the two sects worship their respective spirit beast.
The three first rate powers were equal in power, so if two of them fight, the neutral power will gain the advantage.
This was what kept the delicate balance.
