Chapter 212: Lu Tavern

After walking inside, Sage asked the host to take him to a private room. The room was just large enough for the one booth inside it and Sage took a seat. A minute later a waiter came into the room and Sage ordered a drink, A bottle of stonemoss extract, nice and hot.

The waiter bowed his head, Forgive me, but stonemoss extract is supposed to be served ice cold.

Sage nodded, Id like it hot.

Nodding to him, the waiter left the room and a few minutes later someone different entered the room and took the seat opposite of Sage. They both stared for a moment, each carefully examining the other party. After some time the man waved his hand to Sage, in a gesture as if to say, go ahead.

I have a little information to sell along with some technique manuals.

What makes you think I need the information of an outsider?

Well, thats because I have a grudge with the Mu Clan. Selling you this information will give you a leg up on them.

Sage chose to sell them the Roots of the Resolute Heart. A wood and sword cultivating set, used to cultivate an upright and virtuous heart. If the person cultivating it didnt follow the path of a righteous hero, they would be very weak. The way he saw it, the Cult of the Woodlord was a rival to his own sect, but they never entered open war. Helping them train a bunch of people who had to be good guys could only improve the Cult of the Woodlord.

Sage regretfully returned to the VIP booth where Jin Shih and Cui Shufen were already waiting. Sage was a slight bit late, having missed the first few creatures up for auction. He greeted the two personal disciples and make an excuse about sleeping in. Jin Shih gave him a look of contempt, the look on his face apparently saying of course you did.

Cui Shufen poured him a glass of grapeflower wine, the goblets still as exquisite and exotic as before, Welcome back. I knew you wanted to see the beasts most of all, so its a good thing you made it back in time!

Sage thanked her and they made some small talk as bids were going on underneath them. There was a very small tiger in a cage on the stage. It had a scrawny body and massive paws. Cui Shufen gave Sage the quick description, Thats a Snowshoe Tiger. Its only a baby, but once it grows up it will be as large as a horse. Its a powerful fighter and the perfect mount for the cold. Not only can it run across fresh powdered snow without sinking, it can even run across water as long as it doesnt stop.

Those feats werent all that amazing in comparison to a cultivator, but the Snowshoe Tiger could do all that without using any Qi. A cultivator could fight on top of a body of water for a few minutes, maybe a few hours, but that Tiger could run all day if it was raised well and reached a high enough rank. On the other hand, Sage had no use for it, so he thanked Cui Shufen for the information and they talked about the Tiger and others theyd seen before.

Jin Shih got jealous and joined in the conversation, pledging to get Cui Shufen whatever beast she wanted for her own personal mount. The next item up for auction was an extremely cute little white fox with fur that looked soft and fluffy even from so far away. It was basically a vanity pet, a designer monster to keep ladies company. Cui Shufen expressed her interest and Jin Shih immediately started bidding for her. The other VIP booth jumped in and competed with him, raising the price once again. Jin Shih eventually won the little fox, but he was still annoyed at having to spend quite a bit more for it.

Hmm I have an idea.
