Chapter 808: Back to Daggerguard

After showing off his strength a few times to the many guards and attendants of the City Lords manor, Sage finally got a meeting with the man. He gave him a bow, though it wasnt that low after noticing that the City Lord was not a Nascent Soul. Since the man wasnt a Nascent Soul, then hed attained his position through his connections, but Sage had no idea who this mans backer was.

Greetings, City Lord. I had heard you were an impressive individual before, and now I can confirm it with my own eyes.

The City Lord returned the bow and he mirrored the polite niceties, Im nothing much in comparison to your strength. To what do I owe the honor?

Sage smiled, both to show a friendly face to the City Lord and also at his very subtle insult which the City Lord gracefully deflected with a bit of self deprecation. This was good, as it meant he wasnt dealing with an arrogant blowhard. To show a bit more sincerity after that little character test, Sage saluted the City Lord with a clasped fist and gave him a deeper bow, It is good to see how forthright you are. I am very pleased to meet the City Lord. I need your assistance in contacting a high level cultivator of the Cult of the Woodlord. I have a business proposition for them. If you facilitate, I can offer you a generous prize in return.

The City Lord noticed the change in demeanor and he reached out to pull Sage back up from his bow.

It must be your lucky day, as I have a cousin who is an Elder in the Cult of the Woodlord. Since youve made such a generous offer, I will do my best to help fulfill your request. I must warn you, I can not guarantee their response.

Dont you worry. All you need to do is get me a meeting with them, whether or not they accept my offer is not up to you, Sir.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.

The person described as High Elder Shi Wen was not a young person. Despite being in the higher stages of the fifth rank, the man was still old and gray. His back even had a slight hunch in it, showing how late in his life the man was. Since a Core Formation Cultivator could live near five thousand years, it showed just how ancient the fellow was. Sage guessed this was a man who was important because of his experience and had probably been stuck in his cultivation for a very long time. Understanding of the laws was not something with a direct path and once a person was stuck for a long enough time they would be likely to give up on uselessly trying to improve themselves and instead focus on leaving behind a legacy or finding other ways to contribute. There was a limit to how strong they could get by improving their mastery with their weapons and techniques. It would take greater and greater effort to continue to make any improvement. Worse yet, even the weakest Nascent Soul would be able to give them an extremely hard time.

It was just far more efficient to focus on other things where their great cultivation would help them become experts and important figures in no time. With a superhuman physique and mind, they were so much better at any job than a mortal. Most Sects and Clans were filled with these old and experienced cultivators that helped these large organizations manage all their assets and train the next generation.

Sage started off by thanking the City Lord and then immediately he turned his gaze to the High Elder, I have some important business to discuss with you.

He sent the City Lord an apologetic smile, Forgive me. Id like to discuss some important information with the High Elder.

The City Lords eyes flashed with a trace of annoyance, but he didnt speak out against him. The man nodded and left the room leaving Sage alone with the Cults High Elder. Sage stepped closer and used his Windscreen technique to block out any eavesdroppers. This move caught the attention of the High Elder and the old man immediately got a little interested. Hed only agreed to this meeting because the City Lord had promised to reward him with two hundred thousand Spirit Stones. It was just a quick little meeting, and what if there was actually a deal to be made?

Greetings, High Lord. I am here to make a very confidential deal with the Cult of the Woodlord. I want to trade knowledge of the Arborist trade for my services as a Gardener.

Gardener? Arborist? Who the hell are you?
