Chapter 33 - Faith?

"This fat sheep will make us rich." A masked man, wearing a black robe appeared. 

Behind him, two people also came into the vision. 

The leader held a long sword while the other two were both spear users. 

"True, that array alone would be sold for a good price." Another spear user said with a cold glint in his eyes. 

The moment these people appeared, Jun knew that he was in serious trouble. 

The leader was an 8th stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivator while the two following behind him were 6th stage and 5th stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivators. 

"I don't seem to recognize you people. May I ask what gang do you belong to?" Jun asked with a smile. 

"Haha... look at this fat sheep. Why do you think we will tell you that? Do you think we will go around telling people our identities before killing them?" The masked man laughed. 

Jun grinned slyly, this was what he wanted to hear. From the words of the masked man, there's a high chance they belonged to a group. 

"In that case, let's not waste our time." Jun immediately lunged forward. 

The three men were stunned. Why is this lunatic seeking death? Shouldn't he try to run away?

They were confused, however, they were also vigilant and decisive. 

All of them didn't beat around the bush and prepared their offensive moves. 

At this moment, the masked man felt like something had bitten his leg. 

He looked down and saw a puppet snake that biting his leg. 

He was furious and swung his long sword at the snake, splitting it into two. 

Jun grinned even more and punched out with his golden Qi around his fist. 

The man in the 7th stage looked at Jun with an arrogant expression. 

He lifted his hand and tried to stop Jun's fist with his hand. 

However, the moment Jun's fist collided with the masked man's palm, the masked was sent flying and crashed into a tree heavily. 

"What?" His teammates were dumbfounded. 

They would have never expected to see this scene. Who would have thought that someone in the 5th stage could defeat a 7th stage cultivator in a single punch? 

The other two men were furious, they didn't let their guard down and picked up their weapons. 

Just as both of them were about to attack Jun, the leader's vision started to turn dark. 

His legs kept trembling for some reason. 

"Boos! What's wrong?" The 6th stage cultivator noticed his boss's unusual behavior and immediately got worried. 

"How can you be distracted while fighting me?" Jun took out a dagger from his storage ring and threw it at the 6th stage cultivator. 

Just as the dagger was about to Peirce through his heart, the 6th stage cultivator summoned a shield from his storage ring and blocked the attack."Haha... brat you think too highly of..." 

He was about to say something, but Jun ignored him and immediately punched the poisoned leader, sending him flying too. 

The last 6th stage cultivator felt a chill run down his spine. 

He has already seen his ending. He was destined to die today. 

After exchanging a few moves, Jun came out victorious and defeated all of them 

"I should be more vigilant in the future." He squatted down while panting heavily and searched the corpses of the three masked cultivators. 

These people were too poor, they only had 400 spirit stones combined and some basic materials. 

There are also two inferior-grade weapons and one mortal-grade low-level long sword. 

He also found a strange token with a dark crow mark on it. 

Jun recognized this token as he had done his research about the various gangs and clans of Golden Moon Island.

This token belonged to a small-sized gang with a Golden Core Cultivator as its leader. 

"This is troublesome, dealing with a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator is already hard enough, not to mention a Golden Core..." Jun shook his head and cleaned up the traces. 

After a while, he left the scene. 

At this moment, a mysterious figure wearing black robes was standing on a tree and staring at Jun's departing figure. 

"This brat... I'll let you live for a while longer." 

He suddenly vanished in thin air, leaving no traces behind. 

Jun finally arrived at the shop. 

The first thing he did when he arrived at the shop was to close the door. 

"Is something wrong master?" Hua Zhenyi looked at Jun's worried expression and immediately sensed that something was wrong. 

"It's nothing, you can just do your own work." Jun calmed himself down and waved at Hua Zhenyi to leave. 

Hua Zhenyi tactically understood and didn't probe any further. 

[Congratulations to the host, you have acquired 30 tokens] 

Jun heaved a sigh of relief. "What great timing, these avatars are really efficient. I should be able to buy the blueprint and some defensive methods with this." 

Jun opened the system shop and bought the [Anti-Gravitational Spirit Boat] blueprint with 30 tokens. 

He also bought [Yellow Thunder Array] with the remaining 20 tokens. 

[Yellow Thunder Aarry (mortal grade mid-level): This array is used to ward off intruders with yellow-colored thunder attacks. It uses thunder elemental spirit energy as its fuel. Anyone under Foundation Establishment Realm won't be able to leave unscathed] 

[Do you want to integrate this array in the shop] 

[Y/N] 

Jun didn't delay any longer and integrated the array into his shop. 

Afterward, he went upstairs and used the [Summoning Portal] to summon a new slav— subordinate. 

The next second, a muscular bald monk stepped out of the portal with his eyes closed. 

He was reciting some scriptures while holding a book. 

"Are those nursery rhymes?" Jun raised his eyebrows. 

"Namo amitabha! Benefactor, I haven't seen a person as strange as you before. To think you would call Shaolin's secret technique as nursery rhymes." The monk was stunned. 

"Nevermind then, I seem to have misunderstood." Jun shook his head. 

"Benefactor, what's nursery rhymes by the way," Monk asked. 

"It's better if you don't know." Jun smiled mysteriously. 

Moments later, he looked through the monk's status panel. 

[Name: Shenzu Tian] 

[Cultivation: 9th stage Qi Condensation Realm] 

[Insight: Excellent] 

[Constitution: Diamond Physique] 

[Technique: Diamond Body Technique(Earth grade low-level), Golden Palm Technique (Earth grade high-level)]

[Spiritual Root: Thunder and Wood Elemental(Earth grade mid-level)] 

[Talent: Wood Affinity (mortal grade high-level]

[Faith: Follower of Buddhism] 

[Loyalty: 60]

Hm? Faith? For real? Jun was stunned for a moment. 

"You can go to the first floor for now and guard the shop," Jun instructed casually. 

Shenzu nodded and went to the first floor. 

"This fellow should be able to breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Realm as long as I can give him a Foundation Establishment Pill." Jun scratched his chin in contemplation. 

Foundation Establishment Pill was one of the most expensive pills for low-level cultivators. 

Many Qi Condensation Realm cultivators have to for many years just to be able to afford it. 

One Foundation Establishment Pill cost 800 spirit stones afterall. 

However, for Jun, it was not something he couldn't afford.
