Inside the drugstore.

Jiang Shi walked over again, handed a paper filled with words, and said with a smile: "Elder Lie, please give me the materials listed here, and again, put it on my tab."

The caretaker of the drugstore was an old man with a face full of wrinkles and snow-white hair, his eyelashes almost gone. Seeing the characters on Jiang Shi's paper, his face immediately turned grim, and his beard twitched with anger.

"Jiang Right Envoy, although you are the Right Envoy of the Holy Sect, you can't keep running up a tab like this, can you? You put things on the tab, but the key is that what you take is too expensive. Once is not enough, you come twice, three times. No, this absolutely won't do!! "

Elder Lie was very decisive, waving his hand.

Recently, Jiang Shi had been cultivating three Super Grade techniques, using unimaginable amounts of materials and resources, many of which were extremely expensive items.

Almost every time it was on credit, making this elder who guarded the drugstore so distressed as if blood was dripping from his heart.

Did this guy think these materials were cabbages?

Which of these materials wasn't something that Holy Sect brothers risked their lives to retrieve from Blessed Lands?

Some materials even existed in one or two copies only, and once used, it would take countless years to gather them again.

"Elder Lie, this time on credit, I guarantee eventually to repay, you can be assured, it is absolutely the last time."

Jiang Shi said with a smile.

"Jiang Right Envoy, without rules, there can be no order. I know you are trying to improve your strength, but if everyone in the Holy Sect did what you do, how can we maintain the Holy Sect? Being in a high position, not only do you not share the burdens of the Holy Sect, but you want to throw it into chaos? No credit, even if the sky falls today, I can't let you take on credit again unless you kill this old man!"

Elder Lie was very stubborn, straightening his neck, and shouted angrily.

Jiang Shi was speechless.

Damn, he couldn't really kill this old man.

"Alright, thank you, Elder Lie."

Jiang Shi said, finally turning around and leaving.

If he couldn't charge things in his own name, he would go find the Five Elements Hall Master and let him come to charge again. He didn't believe the old man wouldn't give it to the Five Elements Hall Master.

Jiang Shi felt delighted by his cleverness.

Elder Lie was baffled by Jiang Shi's sudden departure.

Did this guy really leave?

Not going to pester anymore?

···

Front courtyard area.

As soon as Jiang Shi arrived here, he heard a lively noise coming from not far away, with many figures, buzzing, and bursts of shouting.

"Master Zhang the Third of the Longxi Zhang Family has arrived!"

"Representative of Wuyun Mountain Li Family has arrived!"

"Young Master Huang of the Yin Nan Huang Family has arrived!"

"Fourth Elder of the Celestial Sword Sect has arrived!"

"Master Kong the Second of the Quzhou Kong Family has arrived!"

···

Voices could be heard from a distance.

Jiang Shi frowned, immediately stopping in his tracks, suddenly remembering today seemed to be the day of alliance talks between the noble families and hidden sects of the Four Symbols Alliance.

Gathering so many forces here was to discuss joining forces with the Black Lotus Holy Sect to collectively compete for the treasures of the Great Dragon Dynasty.

"Forget it, not going to find the Five Elements Hall Master now. The major families are very wary of me, and if I show up, I'll not only bring trouble upon myself but also potentially to the Black Lotus Holy Sect."

Jiang Shi carefully thought about it, decisively turning away.

Although he was not afraid of causing trouble, he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

That would be an act of foolishness!

Not long after Jiang Shi left.

In the grand hall of the front courtyard, almost all forces had arrived.

Inside the spacious hall, shadows gathered densely, with almost all seats filled.

The Black Lotus Sect Leader was dressed in a pitch-black, gold-trimmed robe, wearing a purple gold crown, his hair streaked with white, with a smile on his face. His broad hands wore a pair of dark-gold gloves. His physique was burly, sitting high, looking at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's been a while since our Four Symbols Alliance gathered like this. Although not all have come, it also adds glory to our humble sect!"

"Sect Leader Chen, if I may be so bold as to ask a question, may I?"

Suddenly, Master Zhang the Third from the Zhang Family below cupped his fists, his expression serious, looking at the Black Lotus Sect Leader.

The Black Lotus Sect Leader's expression was calm, saying: "Nephew Zhang, feel free to ask."

"Sect Leader Chen, I heard that Jiang Shi is currently in your esteemed sect, is that true?"

Master Zhang the Third said solemnly, lowering his voice: "If it's true, I ask Sect Leader Chen to hand him over to the Longxi Zhang Family. This person has a vendetta against us. Not long ago, our Master Zhang the Second was murdered, and we have information that he was the culprit. Moreover, he is an Innate Vajra, destined to become another Meng Fang if left unchecked, a menace as he grows. I hope Sect Leader Chen will hand him over!"

Silence fell instantly after his words.

Everyone turned their eyes towards the Black Lotus Sect Leader.

Each pair of eyes was sharp, piercing like blades, shimmering intensely.

The atmosphere instantly became subtle.

Numerous hall masters and squad leaders of the Black Lotus Holy Sect subtly changed their expressions, sensing something amiss.

The Black Lotus Sect Leader remained calm, seemingly unfazed, instead looking towards Master Zhang the Third, Zhang Yunlong, saying: "Nephew Zhang, where did you get this information?"

"Sect Leader Chen, if you don't want people to know, don't do it yourself! There are too many ways to know about Jiang Shi, why bother asking this question, Sect Leader?"

Master Zhang the Third spoke in a deep voice, watching the Black Lotus Sect Leader.

"Is that so?"

The Black Lotus Sect Leader's expression was faint, a small smile appearing as he said: "Indeed, Jiang Shi is currently among us. However, this throne still has use for him, I'm afraid Nephew Zhang will be disappointed."
