Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 753: Chapter 452: The Buddha is Dead_1

Logan was planning to travel to the Immortal Realm, which meant that he and Cloud Sky Taoist had to part ways. However, Cloud Sky Taoist invited him to visit Cloud Sky Sect for a seat, wanting to hold a banquet to thank Logan for his past kindness.

This made Logan hesitate for a moment before he agreed. The matter of the Immortal Realm was not particularly urgent, and Blackwood City Master had given him half a month’s time to set out.

Cloud Sky Taoist was overjoyed and hastily said, “That’s wonderful, the younger generations of our sect all wish to meet you and express their gratitude in person.”

After resolving the issue with the Orthodox Demonic Sect last time, Logan immediately rushed to the Western Wasteland to craft the Holy Life Elixir. Since everyone in Cloud Sky Sect was worried about his safety, they didn’t have the time to thank Logan, which weighed heavily on the minds of the disciples of Cloud Sky Sect, who always valued gratitude.

They even blamed themselves, fearing that such neglect might have disheartened Logan. Treating a benefactor like this was bound to give rise to misunderstandings.

When they arrived at Cloud Sky Sect, people rushed out upon hearing the news and were overwhelmed with joy and tears to see the Supreme Elder unharmed. Cloud Sky Taoist’s narrow escape from death at the hands of the Orthodox Demonic Sect had been a catastrophic threat to the entire sect.

Even though he went to the Western Wasteland and it was said that his life could be extended as soon as Logan’s elixir was crafted, no one knew if this was true or false.

Now, seeing the Supreme Elder after so many days of anxiety, they felt a great relief. The crowd stepped forward, and Orion Nango, leading them, bowed three times.

Cloud Sky Taoist waved his hand, chastising them, “What’s wrong with all of you? You act as if I were dead. Let me tell you, I’m in great shape now.”

“And all you can see is me? Haven’t you noticed Logan beside me? Logan is an honored guest of Cloud Sky Sect, whom I’ve specially invited. Logan has saved us several times, shouldn’t you show some courtesy? As for me, there will be plenty of time for reminiscing later.”

After being admonished by Cloud Sky Taoist, they finally turned their attention to Logan. The crowd hurriedly tried to kneel, but Logan stopped them.

“No need for formalities, I’m just sitting for a while at Cloud Sky Sect. Besides, I have to rush to the Eastern Sea later!” Logan said with a smile, following the crowd into the sect.

At Cloud Sky Taoist’s command, people rushed to brew tea, and others prepared ingredients for the banquet. To show proper gratitude, they needed to have at least dozens of dishes.

“Prepare the banquet for later, we’ll drink until we’re completely intoxicated in a moment, but first, let’s have some tea.” Cloud Sky Taoist spoke, and of course, Logan would go along with his host.

An hour later, the banquet was ready, and alongside Logan and Cloud Sky Taoist, over a dozen elders of the Cloud Sky Sect took their seats as well.

At the outset, as Sect Leader, Orion Nango was the first to toast Logan; Logan couldn’t dismiss their face, so naturally, he also drank a cup.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After that, one by one, they came to thank Logan, and each person offered three cups. Logan naturally drank them all down, and a long while passed in this manner, with Logan having consumed at least fifty or sixty cups. The alcohol was strong, enough to make him somewhat drunk.

He had planned to stay at Cloud Sky Sect for half a day, but the delay and drunkenness meant he ended up resting until the next day.

Early the next morning, Logan was ready to head to the Eastern Sea. Cloud Sky Taoist didn’t stop him, knowing that Logan had more important matters to attend to.

The voyage to the sea cost five hundred thousand ordinary Spirit Stones, a trivial amount for Logan. However, he was startled to find that he had no ordinary Spirit Stones on him, only Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and using those to rent a ship was clearly a bad deal. Therefore, Logan decided to trade some items for Spirit Stones.

Logan used to have a lot of ordinary Spirit Stones, but he had been using too many lately, and he had given a large portion to Bart Cloud in the Extreme Cold Lands. This led to his current shortage, especially as he now valued Top-Grade Spirit Stones more and had neglected the ordinary ones.

Just walking into a pawnshop on the street, Logan took out a Half-step Divine Weapon. The item caused a sensation as soon as it was presented. To Logan, it was quite ordinary; currently, only Divine Weapons and Emperor Weapons were useful to him. As for weapons of a Half-step Saint Seat, he considered them as clutter in his Storage Bag.

There happened to be one such weapon, so he decided to exchange it for Spirit Stones. The pawnshop, recognizing its value, hesitated to make a decision and quickly informed their superiors.

Soon, a Steward appeared and greeted Logan with great respect, “Predecessor, do you wish to sell a Half-step Divine Weapon? This is likely crafted by a Half-step Saint Seat and is worth at least one hundred million Spirit Stones. However, our pawnshop can’t produce such an amount immediately. We would need to transfer it from above, which could take ten days.”

“Of course, we could also organize an auction, inviting nearby large Family Clans to attend. It would take two or three days at most, and the weapon is likely worth more than a hundred million Spirit Stones. How does that sound?”

“Three days?” Logan frowned, three days were obviously too many. He was in a hurry to reach the Immortal Realm and didn’t value a mere Half-step Divine Weapon.

“How about this, how many Spirit Stones can your pawnshop come up with? Leave the weapon here as collateral, and give me some Spirit Stones for urgent use first. I’ll come back for the rest later.”

“That’s… not quite right!” The steward hesitated, “You know, we don’t want trouble. What if the weapon has a dubious origin?”

“Forget it, I’ll go elsewhere.” Logan, not wanting to argue, prepared to leave but was stopped by the steward. After all, the fact that Logan could casually part with a Half-step Divine Weapon indicated he was someone not to be offended. For the pawnshop, it was naturally desirable to establish a connection.

“Predecessor, if you urgently need Spirit Stones, you might visit the nearby Silvercloud Family Pawn Shop. It’s from the reclusive Silvercloud Family Clan and has substantial power. They can easily produce one hundred million Spirit Stones.”
