Chapter 364: 364
The village chief looked very young, and didn't have a high cultivation realm . Through a rough read on him, the two fellow brothers could immediately tell that he was at the peak late Golden Core stage .
"Chief, some seniors are here to buy our holy water!" Tiger Li stood by the door and waved at the village chief .
The man promptly jogged over with the shoulder pole . On each end hung a heavy cask, and both Old Antique and Taoist Taotie were very familiar with the aura inside – they were certain that the casks contained holy water .
"I never expected that someone would actually come here to buy the holy water . "
When he saw Old Antique and Taoist Taotie, the village chief couldn't help smiling . "Come with me . "
Then, carrying the shoulder pole once again, the village chief told Tiger Li to go help the deputy chief out, and then started walking back to his own place . Old Antique and Taoist Taotie followed closely behind him, and it wasn't long before they reached his house .
Standing in the doorway of his place, their lips twitched once again .
This was actually a small villa with a fully modern atmosphere that was incongruous with the rest of the village . Furthermore, the concentration of spirit power here was very weak; the difference was huge compared with the density in Tiger Li's place earlier . Most importantly, this place actually contained all the modern facilities one could expect: modern furniture, a fridge, a TV, a washing machine, a microwave . . .
"What should we call you, village chief?"
"My name is Prosperity Huang . You can just call me Village Chief Huang . The deputy chief is One Huang . We were the ones who discovered the spring of holy water in the beginning . " He looked immensely proud of himself when he said this . "I traded the holy water for the materials to build this place as well as its furnishings . "
"Traded?"
"These two seniors have immense strength, but it seems that you're not very familiar with the way the demon world works inside the Gate Between Worlds . The demon world can of course be very primitive, but it also has prosperous cities that are no less inferior to our human cultivator cities in the outside world . I obtained all these furnishings through an exchange with some demon kings . "
Village Chief Huang smiled . "Even demon kings want this holy water . It doesn't just benefit the human race, but also the demon race . "
"According to our human ranking system, a demon king is at the very least on par with a cultivator at the Soul Formation stage . You're a Golden Core cultivator; aren't you afraid of them?" Taoist Taotie couldn't help asking .
"Because of the spring of holy water, even a demon god isn't able to set foot in our village, let alone a demon king . This is a paradise disconnected from the rest of the Gate Between Worlds . Our village might be small, but thanks to the holy water, we can be considered quite prosperous . "
Village Chief Huang sat down on the sofa in a calm and composed manner . "Seniors, please have a seat . "
The two fellow brothers couldn't help the way their lips twitched – it was obvious from the way he was acting that the village chief had experienced a lot .
Forget demon kings, this Village Chief Huang probably had had dealings with demon gods . . . otherwise, for a Golden Core cultivator to act this calmly in front of two Itinerant Immortals was just too unscientific .
"Our strengths are not on the same level . You're just at the Golden Core stage . . . aren't you afraid that we'll rob you of your holy water?" Taoist Taotie asked as he stared at the unperturbed village chief .
"You won't do anything to me . " Village Chief Huang waved his hand confidently . "The power of the holy water permeates every corner of this village . It doesn't just keep out demon qi, but also evil intentions . People harboring evil intentions in their hearts wouldn't be able to set foot in our village . If both seniors had had evil intentions, you would have instantly been turned into stone statues, no matter how superior your realms are .
"When Tiger Li led you into the village, you saw that stele, right?" Village Chief Huang laughed . "That was a wicked demon king that had tried to sneak into our village to grab the holy water . In the end, the power of the holy water permeated its being and turned it into stone . I placed it at the village entrance as a boundary divider . There are a lot of steles like it all around our village . "
