BXBX NOVEL Chapter 144 - 7-days Leave
\'10000 high-quality spirit stones?\'
Elder Strauss was shocked with the amount of compensation the sect leader Gamos was asking.
10000 high-quality spirit stones was a very high amount even for his master Fionk. So, Elder Strauss was a little bit hesitant in agreeing with the compensation.
"Yes, 10000 high-quality spirit stones. If you feel the amount is high, you can simply the reason behind 7-days break for your beast mountain,"
Looking at the shocked expression on Elder Stauss\' face, the sect leader Gamos revealed a slight smile as he gave him another option.
\'Damn it...he just wants to know the reason. Without my master\'s permission, I can\'t either agree to give 10000 high-quality spirit stones or tell the reason to the sect leader Gamos,\'
Elder Strauss fell into a critical situation as he never expected that the feud between his master and the sect leader Gamos would be this huge.
That\'s right!
The sect leader Gamos was intentionally making things difficult for Elder Strauss because there was some kind of feud with the master of the beast mountain, Fionk in the past.
Generally, it was not a big thing to accept Elder Strauss\' request if they were on closer terms; however, since they were not, the sect leader Gamos acted by these rules.
"Sect leader Gamos, you know I can\'t agree to your request without the permission of my master. Can you lower the number of spirit stones or change the request,"
Even though the sect leader Gamos was making things difficult for him, Elder Strauss was polite from beginning to end.
"Fine...I will approve your request as long as your master gives me a couple of answers,"
The sect leader Gamos didn\'t think much before changing his condition.
"Th...this is..."
Once he heard the condition, Elder Strauss was shocked as he didn\'t expect that the sect leader would ask for the same thing that the master had said to him.
\'Whenever we are in need and you request something from the sect leader, he will set a condition of getting some answers from me in return for your request. If the need is absolute, then agree to it,\'
These were the exact words that his master had once said to him.
\'Okay, sect leader Gamos,\'
However, Elder Strauss didn\'t agree instantly; instead, he hesitantly nodded his head agreeing with the sect leader Gamos\' condition with much difficulty.
"Good. If your master didn\'t follow the rules and denies answering my questions, I will hold you accountable for it. Now, you can leave," The sect leader Gamos revealed a satisfied smile and at the same time he warned Elder Strauss before asking him to leave.
"Yes, sect leader Gamos,"
Soon, Elder Strauss left the cultivation abode without turning his head back.
\'Finally, I can know what happened when I was away from the sect,\' the sect leader Gamos became emotional and sighed in his heart.
After sighing, he went back into his cultivation.
...
Next day morning,
\'Auh\'
Henrick woke up from his deep sleep and yawned.
\'I hope everything that happened in my dream will also happen in real life,\'
In the next second, he remembered the long dream he had yesterday night and hoped it would happen. Nevertheless, he shook his head and washed his face.
\'Swoosh\'
Just as he was about to start his cultivation, his master appeared in his cultivation abode.
"Master, Good morning,"
Seeing his master appear in his cultivation abode, Henrick hurriedly bowed to him.
"Morning,"
The sect leader Gamos also greeted back and looked at the entrance of the cultivation abode.
"Huh?"
Henrick also puzzledly looked at the entrance wondering who was coming.
"Good morning, Master,"
"Morning, Henrick,"
It was none other than the sect leader Gamos\' another disciple, Nick who greeted them as soon as he entered.
"Let\'s not waste any more time with the greetings and come to the point," the sect leader Gamos nodded his head at Nick as he continued, "Your newbie missions will be postponed by a week and until then, you have to cultivate in your cultivation abodes."
"What?"
"But why master?"
Henrick and Nick were already frustrated that they stayed most of their time in the cultivation adobe after entering the outer sect. So, when they heard the sect leader Gamos\' words, both of them were shocked and hurriedly asked for the reason.
"The beast mountain is hosting some event for their disciples and they were not allowing anyone to enter the mountain for the next seven days. So, you will be focusing on your cultivation until it is opened,"
The sect leader Gamos explained the reason to them after seeing their shocked faces.
"But master, it is very hard for us to stay inside the cultivation abode,"
Henrick was quick to reply to his master because he was the one who stayed in his cultivation abode for a longer time.
"I know...it is frustrating for you to stay inside the cultivation abode all the time; however, a cultivator needs patience as the cultivation journey is a long and arduous one. What will you do when you have secluded yourself for years for a single breakthrough in the future?"
Although the sect leader Gamos agreed to their words, he also revealed the importance of staying the seclusive cultivation for years.
"Sigh...okay master,"
"We will cultivate in our cultivation abodes, master,"
Both the disciples nodded their head as they also knew the importance of what the sect leader Gamos had said.
"How about you venture the entire outer sect in the evenings after cultivating?"
Seeing their sad looks, the sect leader Gamos suggested they walk around the outer sect in the evenings.
"Yes, master,"
Nick was satisfied with that option.
For him, as long as he was not confined to the cultivation abode, it was a good thing.
"Master, can I go to the working disciples\' courtyard for one day?"
However, Henrick thought it was his chance and asked for permission to go out the \'twin fire mountain\'.
\'Huh?\'
The sect leader Gamos became puzzled as he raised his brows and thought something in his mind.
"After coming back, I will not leave my cultivation abode for the next 6 days," Henrick thought that his master was about to reject his permission and hurriedly said something to convince his master.
"Of course, you can go out of the outer sect. If you want, you can go after the next 7 days. Since there will be no newbie missions for you. Also, take Nick with you, if he wants to come with you,"
All of a sudden, the frowned expression on the sect leader Gamos\' face turned into a happy face as he agreed to Henrick\'s request to go out of the \'twin fire mountain\'.
Moreover, he even told Henrick to go out for seven days which was a great thing for him.
"Really?"
Henrick felt it was unbelievable that he had racked his brains for a reason to go out; however, his master not only gave permission but also allowed him to stay at the working disciples\' courtyard for seven days.
"Yes, you can stay there for seven days on one condition," the sect leader Gamos nodded his head and slowly put a condition for his leave.
