Chapter 326 - 326. Trading items with a silly old man

The next morning the cultivators that woke up a bit earlier found strange sight outside dormitories. A floating bunch of red clothes figures sitting on smalls white clouds and... cultivating.

As the early morning sun hit the Grounding Fairy Sect members the energy around them started to dense up turning them into small fiery spots. Like hundred flames their bodies were enveloped in light and the sight was spectacular that anyone who saw it stopped and looked at it motionlessly.

After while they just flew towards the competition ground and sat down on their chairs that suddenly again appeared. The day before some of the cultivators went back to see the chairs but as soon Grounding fairy Sect was gone, the course disappeared as well.

As they appeared it was a clear sign that they will come soon and when the cultivators saw red dot becoming bigger and bigger the talk and comments became slower and silent. As they sat down again on their chairs on their tables appeared food and they just started eating their breakfast while completely ignoring everyone inside the competition ground.

This time Farloq Guild Master that was famously good-natured and had many members just floated up and with a smile looked t their Headmaster. ''I just can't handle the smell anymore. I fear if I continue smelling it I will start chewing the chair I am sitting on.''

Headmaster just chuckled and pointed at Kendra. ''Talk business with her.''

He turned his head and saw a beautiful young woman standing up and bowing to him. Her silver hair and strange coloured eyes completely baffled him so he stood there frozen, not saying anything. Luckily Isaa came to his heal. ''We heard many good things about Farloq Guild. Well, I hope your guild accepts the tests that our guild is giving the cultivators.''

He became serious and nodded. ''At first, we didn't trust that, but after one of our guild novices got in trouble with three-headed dragon fish and died, we realized that his testing paper turned into dust as well. Since then we knew that its real deal. You have formation maker and scribe in your sect. That means that all those test papers mean the real deal. And strangely, it changes when someone gets new skill or rise in power. It shows clearly what happened. What an amazing feat.''

Kendra just waited to let him talk then nodded. ''Thank you. Now let's talk about deals. I father unusual spirit plants, rare or old scripts, old or rare skills and many things other people might not want but I might be interested at.''

He stilled for a moment while thinking deeply about that. I have something no one can use. An old letter. The problem is, we have no idea what is written inside. It can be a recipe, or cultivation method or just simply a notice to someone. I can't promise anything.''

Kendra nodded. ''As you are not sure what is inside the price will be lowered. I will give you five fruits, two teleportation scrolls of your choice and invitation to visit our guild week after the competition is finished. After that many of us will go to cultivation rooms. So one week latest we will wait for you.'' She found this unusual old man quite cute. Especially as he chose to look old.

With a white beard and cultivators robe, he looked like a grandfather for someone. Looking at his quirky expression and scheming eyes, she had to chuckle. Yep, her father needs this troublemaker nearby. She whispered. ''I do not mind if you keep him busy, he seems to be bored lately.'' Then with smile summoned basket filled with five different kinds of fruits and gave him. On the sides, there were two scrolls and a strange-looking card.

He looked ta card that suddenly shone and disappeared. ''Huh, what happened?''

''It became your entry card. It's connected to your body. So if you want to enter the shield won't harm you as long you don't have an enemy inside your body. Then the thing will be destructed and you will heal.'' She smiled brightly as she explained but realized he had no idea what she was talking about, luckily...  ''It will take too long to explain. Anyway, welcome to our sect. Wait, I made a new drink this morning. Let me show it to you.''

She poured a full glass of fruit juice into crystal clear glass and gave him while the basket filled with fruits and scrolls disappeared. Of course, it was a space bag that hung on side of his clothes. He sniffled on the drinks and then winked at her while he smiled brightly. have fun with it. He threw a strange-looking plate at her and swiftly flew down to his set while all he did was sniffling on the juice. ''Amazing, just too amazing. Spirit fruit juice. That child is killing me.''

While he was sipping on his juice people around him gulped loudly as every nerve on their body was creaming to drinks s well. ''Uhm, Can we taste one of those fruits?''

He stopped drinking and pouted like a small child. ''I paid it fair and square. Just like that child said, if you have some rare herbs, scrolls, books or unusual items she will change it for the spirit fruits. You all have items you never can use it. Just show it to her. If she likes it and thinks its useful, she might give you even more than she gave me.'' Then with closed eyes, he gulped a bit fo his juice and sighed. ''No matter how much I think about it, I don't know what is this fruit. But it tastes so amazing.''

What he doesn't know was that it was multi-fruit juice. Not from one certain fruit. But that was not important now. Instead people to concentrate on a new round of fights, the whole line of people standing in a row and waited to get closer to Grounding Fairy Sect to exchange items they think are expensive or rare. But there are always people that try to cheat.

''This is the handwritten epitaph of Grounding Fairy Mae's Life. As Grounding Fairy Sect don't you want this?'' One of the people from Inferno Sect tried to explain while Kendra shook her head.

''We belong To Grounding Fairy Sect. If you have it, we have it as well. We want items that are rare not that exist already in our library. Epitaphs are not rare in our sect. That might be only second hand Epitaf or copy as well. Even if it's original, we don't want it. Do you have something else?'' Headmaster looked at the few pages and turned them around while shaking with them in front of man's nose.

Isaa could see the strange expression on mans face so she stood up and smiled. ''You take this Epitaf as it might be important in future. But not today. Next!'' She touched his body and suddenly he squirmed and jumped away from her with a dark expression.

Isaa looked at Kendra and smiled. ''Wow. I just touched him. Am I that ugly?''

Kendra turned her eyes that turned red and smiled brightly at him. ''So, Inferno Sect is quite interesting indeed. We shall meet in a bit on competition ground...'' Then her eyes became again clear and she looked at the long row of people and smiled. ''Its time our guild goes down to fight. I am sorry but after the fight, we shall talk again.''

She smiled and half of the people in her guild jumper don their clouds and floated down over peoples heads with Kendra as their head. With a huge smile, she looked at hundreds of people that waited for them with fire in their eyes. She clapped hands happily and chuckled. ''Finally, some fun!''
