There were two cups of tea, fragrance wafting in the air.
A man sat opposite Drake. The man looked like virtual-novel.net could be in either his thirties or his fifties. Wearing a Taoist robe, with a topknot on his head, this man seemed just, yet there was an ambiguous devilish aura to virtual-novel.net as well.
This man was Brian Cunningham, also known as Priest Brian to others.
“My fellow priest, it is a huge honor to have you grace us with your presence, ” Drake said, lifting a cup to virtual-novel.net in salute.
Two days ago, Drake sent a message to Brian. He expected Brian to arrive a few days later only for virtual-novel.net to turn up unexpectedly the next day.
Brian smiled and waved his hands, virtual-novel.net said, “With our friendship, there is no need to be polite. What urgent matters have you summoned me here for?”
Drake took a deep breath, then said, “I want the entire Darby clan to start cultivating.” As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net fumed with rage at Darryl for the commotion virtual-novel.net caused previously.
Brian’s eye sparkled, virtual-novel.net laughed and said, “Do continue.”
Drake smiled bitterly, virtual-novel.net said, “My fellow priest, the thing is, I have a favor to ask of you. As you know, to be a cultivator, you need the Spiritual Elixir. I have a few hundred family members in the Darby clan, hence I’d need a few hundred pills of the Spiritual Elixir…”
He faltered, then continued, “My fellow priest, if you were to help me obtain the Spiritual Elixirs, I will do anything that you ask of me.”
Brian pondered for a while with gleaming eyes. He replied slowly, “Alright, I will help you on one condition.”
Drake said joyfully, “Anything!” As long as the entire family could practice cultivation, virtual-novel.net would agree to anything.
Brian laughed, virtual-novel.net said, “Don’t agree so hastily, this thing that I ask of you is not that simple.”
Drake frowned.
Brian took a sip of tea, then virtual-novel.net said, “I want the entire Darby clan to join the Eternal Life Palace sect.”
What? Eternal Life Palace sect?
Drake was stunned. The Eternal Life Palace sect was one of the two huge cults, they have a reputation for committing evil. The complete opposite of the Six Orthodox sects. Furthermore, Drake is a follower of the Shaolin sect, one of the Six!
Drake exclaimed, “Aren’t you the Elder of the Wudang sect? Wh…why do you want me to join the Eternal Life Palace?
Brian chuckled, virtual-novel.net said nonchalantly, “I have long retired from the Wudang sect! All these years, working hard for the sect, but what do I get in return? Truth be told, I’ve joined the Eternal Life Palace for quite some time now, I just didn’t get the chance to tell you.”
Drake suddenly came to a realization, yet his mood was still gloomy.
“Do take a few days to consider, I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll make a move. I’ll be back in a few days and you can let me know then.” Brian stood up and smiled at Drake He continued, “Only if the entire Darby clan joins the Eternal Life Palace sect will I provide you with the Spiritual Elixir.”
Drake nodded, then sent Brian off. As Brian left, Drake was in deep thoughts. If virtual-novel.net and his family joined the Eternal Life Palace, it would mean that virtual-novel.net turned his back on the Shaolin sect, and this was a huge taboo in the cultivating realm. However, only Brian could help Drake, if Drake did not agree to Brian’s condition, the entire family would not be able to start practicing cultivation.
Island Cafe, one of Donghai City’s famous cafes.
The coffee here was delicious, the atmosphere was great as well. That combination led to any couples choosing to come here for dates.
The cafe was currently full, but everyone spoke in hushed tones. When Darryl arrived, Megan had been waiting for virtual-novel.net for quite some time.
“Over here!” Megan signaled to Darryl.
Megan looked extremely gorgeous today, virtual-novel.net was wearing bell-bottom jeans that hugged virtual-novel.net tight figure.
“Excuse me, what are you ogling at,” Megan said with displeasure. She has never met anyone who gawked at virtual-novel.net so directly before.
“Nothing, nothing.” Darryl dismissed. He asked, “What’s up?”
“My good brother, I need a favor from you,” Megan replied impatiently.
She did not intend to call virtual-novel.net my good brother—it was a Freudian slip.
