Fellow Daoist Chi Dan, since you have taken the initiative to take justice for those fellow daoists who have died, then I am willing to take out all of my savings and leave it to you to deal with.

In order to survive, not only did he hand over all his savings, he only dared to be angry at Chi Dan and didn't dare to say anything. He even wanted to say something against his will to praise Chi Dan.

"Fellow cultivator, are you sure you're not here when you were in the city?"

I can insult you, but so can you. As long as you are willing to pay the price, I will forgive you. This is Chi Dan, a very principled demon beast.

Chi Dan enjoyed the big man's flattery. After receiving the apology, he forgave the big man. However, he had to do the entire act to make it seem more realistic.

"Fellow Chi Dan, please enlighten me. I was indeed not present at that time!" The brawny man did not want to lie, but if he did not, he would admit that he was at the scene and lose his reputation as someone who would not save his life.

"Oh, that was two months ago. I must have been blind and mistaken at that time. I hope that Fellow Daoist will not take offense!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are willing to do your best for the dead dao friends. It can be seen that you are a good man with justice. This king thanks you on behalf of the dead dao friends. If they knew of your good deed, they would definitely laugh!"

"Fellow, you also came here to seek justice for the fallen Fellow, it's fine for me to suffer a little grievance!" It was already good that he could keep his life. How could that strong man dare to blame Chi Dan? As for Chi Dan's deliberate flattery, it was completely ignored by him.

"Humph, those dead people were born because of this beast. If those dead people found out that this beast not only cheated them of their spirit stones, but also made use of them, I wonder if they would be angry enough to come back to life." This was a lesson learned from the past. Although many people felt that it was unfair, they still tried their best to suppress their emotions, preventing themselves from revealing the truth like how the robust man had done.

"If Fellow Daoist thinks this way, then that's for the best!"

The brawny man no longer said anything. Because he had insulted Chi Dan, he had to pay all the cultivation materials. Therefore, he got Chi Dan's magnanimous forgiveness. This matter could be considered to have come to an end.

"Fellow Daoists, this misunderstanding just caused everyone to wait a long time!"

Due to the delay with the brawny man, Chi Dan specifically apologized to the crowd, and the sale of the Heavenly Gift blood essence also officially began.

"Fellow Daoists, this is not ordinary blood essence. This is Shentu Shentu's blood essence. A drop of blood essence and 100 top grade spirit stones are not considered expensive. If you miss this, you will regret it for the rest of your lives!"

"We don't have enough Spirit Stones. Don't worry, we can use Spirit Stones to make up for our lack of Spirit Stones. We can also use other Cultivation materials to make up for our lack of Spirit Stones. If not, Fellow Daoists, you can also borrow some from your friends!"

"Fellow Daoists, if I really can't take it out, then this King feels that the way to raise funds is still pretty good!"

Chi Dan was truly a considerate person. He had thought of a solution for everyone. Now, it was time for everyone to thank him!

"Fellow cultivator Yin Xian, I still have urgent matters to attend to, so I won't stay for long!"

"Fellow Daoist Yin Xian, my unfilial disciple has caused a huge mess outside, and needs my help. I can't stay here any longer," he said. "Please forgive me!"

"Fellow Daoist Yin Xian, I was in a bit of a hurry this time. I forgot that I still have a very important medicinal pill that I haven't collected, so I won't be staying any longer!"

Fellow cultivator Yin Xian, this old man suddenly sensed that a scumbag has disturbed my cave and needs to be punished. Thank you for your kind invitation, but it's a pity that this scumbag won't be able to keep me here for long!

"Fellow cultivator Yin Xian, I just received an urgent message from my disciple. My long-lost friend suddenly came to visit. He urgently needs me to return, so I won't stay any longer!"

"Fellow cultivator Yin Xian, I suddenly received an urgent message from my friend. My friend is being chased by a demon from the Devil Sect. I urgently need your help, so I won't stay any longer!"

"Fellow cultivator Yin Xian, I suddenly received an urgent message from a good friend. I want to see this old man before I pass away. This old man has to leave immediately. If I'm late, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my good friend for the last time!"

"Fellow cultivator Yin Xian, I suddenly have a feeling that the bottleneck I haven't relaxed in years has loosened up a bit. I need to go into closed door cultivation to break through. I'm sorry, but I can't stay here any longer!"

"… …"

"Senior Yin Xian, junior's beloved is pregnant and is about to give birth. I haven't been home for two months, so I'm a bit worried. Please forgive me for not being able to stay any longer!"

"Senior Yin Xian, junior has a companion as beautiful as a flower that can make people love him. I haven't returned for two months and fear that my partner will be targeted. This …"

"Senior Yin Xian, junior's dao companion has sent an urgent message. Her first aunt suddenly came and urgently needed me to return. Thank you for your hospitality. I am honored, but …"

"Senior Yin Xian, I have received an urgent message. If a demon beast suddenly invaded my border, I need to hurry back. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for me to …"

"Senior Yin Xian, I have received an urgent message that a demon from the Devil Sect is attacking us. I urgently need to return to take charge of the situation. If I have no other choice, I can only leave this place ahead of time. I will definitely apologize in the future!"

"Senior Yin Xian, this junior suddenly received an urgent message that there were Sea Demons at my border. I urgently needed to return and take charge of the situation. If this junior is lacking manners, I will definitely pay them a visit in the future to apologize!"

"… …"

News of the collection of funds in the city had already spread out. The false news about Chi Dan was a huge source of income. Those who wanted to get Shentu Shun's whereabouts couldn't get away with it, which was a huge loss.

But now, it had been proven that the gift wasn't Shentu Shun, and he still had to gather money to buy a drop of mortal blood essence.

His status as a heaven-bestowal cultivator had already been verified. Not only would he not gain any benefits, he would also lose his cultivation material. No one was willing to do such a foolish thing.

In order to protect the materials for cultivation, he actually brought up all sorts of reasons. In order to protect the materials for cultivation, he didn't have to be afraid of losing face, and in the beginning, only the tribulation stage cultivators proposed to leave, as the number of people who wanted to leave increased. Even those below the tribulation stage wanted to leave first.

Many people had left, but the sect was unable to receive these people for the new disciples' greetings. Before the disciple recruitment ceremony ended, everyone had to leave. If word of this got out, then people would be ridiculed.

Fortunately, no one from the other four sects wanted to leave, and no one from the sects under their jurisdiction wanted to leave either. Even so, Yin Xian's expression was very ugly.

"Fellow Daoists, please don't be impatient. If you have urgent matters to attend to, then please leave. I can understand that. After all, everyone has urgent matters to attend to. If you wish to leave earlier, then I will not stop you!"

"However, do you want to see this lowly sect being mocked by the Fellow Daoists of the Demon God's Sect and the Demon Race, as well as the mortals?"

"The sect has been ridiculed by outsiders, so I will take responsibility for it. Fellow Daoists, you are people of status too. If you let people misunderstand, then I'm afraid I can't do anything to help you!"

Yin Xian wasn't trying to intimidate those who wanted to leave, he was trying to remind them not to lose their identity and offend the sect.

"Fellow Daoists Chi Dan, it's just a joke. Fellow Daoists, there's no need to take it to heart!"

A drop of blood essence could be sold for a hundred top grade spirit stones. The Scarlet Core was not a joke. When it was trying to raise funds, it was no joke. Everyone knew, as did Yin Xian.

However, this was the Hollow Jade Sect, not the Jade City of Song. The sect couldn't afford to do such a shameful thing as raising funds. If they wanted to leave, no one could stop them.

"This old man has promised Fellow Chi Dan, regardless of whether Fellow Chi Dan's sales are genuine or not, I will represent you as my righteous Fellow Chi Dan, and not pursue the matter any further. After all, Fellow Chi Dan might also be deceived by that demon race's wise man!"

Fellow Daoists Chi Dan have also promised me to draw out a drop of blood essence from the Heavens. I will not ask you Fellow Daoists for compensation.

After obtaining a hundred top grade spirit stones, he would definitely attract the envy of others. After he completely proved his identity, although everyone would be afraid of his shamelessness, there would also be people who would talk behind his back and hold him accountable. Yin Xian's way of handling this was already the best solution.

Yin Xian's handling of the situation wasn't what Chi Dan wanted, but it was what Heaven's Gift wanted. Just now, Yin Xian let Xiao Dan mess around because he was worried that someone would pursue Xiao Dan's responsibility.

It wasn't that he was greedy for these 100 top grade spirit stones, but that these spirit stones had already fallen into the Scarlet Core's pocket. Even he couldn't make the Scarlet Core spit them out.

Now that Chi Dan had forced everyone to take out 100 top grade spirit stones to buy a drop of blood essence, even though they didn't take out any spirit stones, they could still get the truth. Even if there were still people who talked later on, they couldn't hold Chi Dan accountable anymore.

"Seniors, Little Dan was just joking with you all just now. Please don't hold Little Dan accountable. Junior is willing to offer a drop of blood essence!"

"Little Dan, think of that thousand year old elixir!"

The hundred top grade spirit stones were obviously earned by Chi Dan in the city. He could have made another fortune while his partner was still supplying him with blood. However, Yin Xian and his companions' words made him lose all hope.

In the end, he had only managed to earn a single spirit stone. Chi Dan was somewhat unwilling to give up and wanted to try again to see if he could get some more benefits out of it, but when threatened by his partner, he could only give up.

"Humph, this brat could have stopped this beast as soon as possible, but he chose to wait for Yin Xian to give his promise before stopping him. He is indeed the same kind of beast as that beast!"

"Sigh, this man and this beast are so greedy right now. In the future, when our cultivation is high enough, I'm afraid we will have to avoid them!"

Not only did Heaven's Gift sincerely apologize, he was also misunderstood by many people. Fortunately, this was only what those people were thinking, and he did not know what was going on. Else, he would have been very sad.
