The Spirit Hunter System
Being On a Different Road
"Is that you, Mr Owl?"
Looking at Adam's figure, Lei Fan couldn't help but ask in a strange tone. He looked suspicious, but also looked curious and hopeful.
Not sheathing his katana, Adam looked towards Lei Fan and Lei Na with a complicated gaze.
"What are you doing in a place like this?"
"That's really you, Mr Owl! Where have you disappeared to?"
Hearing Lei Fan's question and seeing the young man rushing towards him, Adam pointed with a katana and said in a flat tone.
"Don't come any closer, Lei Fan. Tell me, what are you doing in this place?"
Even though the two of them were acquaintances, Adam obviously would not easily believe them. Besides, all of those coincidences were just too precise. It was as if someone set it up behind the scenes.
"Stay calm there, Mr. Owl. We're gonna sit here, so listen to our story first, okay?"
"We moved places."
Adam said in an indifferent tone as he looked towards the flustered girl earlier.
The three then went to a more remote location. Adam was sitting on top of a tree branch, he was staring towards Lei Fan and Lei Na who were sitting on a boulder some distance away from him.
"Now say."
Looking towards Lei Na, Lei Fan nodded then started explaining.
"Actually, it's all started since you disappeared, Mr. Owl.
Because at first we shut ourselves in the mountains, we didn't notice your disappearance. We came to Dark Wings headquarters as usual. It's just, they say that you've left the mystery department and no one knows where you are.
Do you know, Mr Owl? The Thunder Fang Sect now relies heavily on the pills you make. Although not so high, but the pill is very pure. It is suitable for beginners like us.
The pill speeds us up in strengthening the body. If consumed regularly, there would definitely be many Thunder Fang Sect disciples who would rise to the level of a Spiritualist Master. Most of us think of you as a savior.
It was also that made the vice leader of the Thunder Fang Sect descend the mountain to represent the master. He asked why you were labeled a criminal and a traitor. Due to unsatisfactory answers from the government, our relationship has become more strained until now.
The Thunder Fang Sect obviously hated the leaders in the dirty city and had bad ideas. That worries the government. I heard, some of them want to propose the extermination of the Thunder Fang Sect.
Merely, it was all directly rejected by the higher parties as doing so would provoke the anger of the other Sects.
Indeed, we are not as dangerous as a large bomb that can blow up large areas. However, we have various killing skills. So, the higher-ups were afraid that if the balance was broken, the cultivators would also start going crazy to hunt those higher-ups down.
Sure, without you we can still concoct some pills. However, the efficiency is too low. Not only in terms of quality, but the production speed is really very slow compared to you.
As people who have taken good quality pills, naturally we do not want bad quality as it affects our cultivation progress. It's just that, our pill stock is already very thin. So, the elders created a point system in order to be exchanged for pills.
Now, we have to perform various tasks in order to get enough points exchanged for medicine. Not to mention, the price of the drug soared. We're in trouble because of that."
Seeing the sour expression on Lei Fan and Lei Na's faces, Adam finally understood. For those two people, the reason for coming to this place was obviously the mission of killing the snake before.
Hearing that, Adam felt a little guilty.
"Follow us to Thunder Fang Sect, Mr. Owl. There, you will be treated well. You no longer need to hide. We will also give you a lot of support.
Besides, I guess, it's not bad if you start popularizing your homemade pills to the entire sect. You will be famous and have a lot of support from the various sects so there is no need to hide anymore."
Seeing Lei Fan's excited speech, Adam smiled.
"I appreciate your offer. Merely, it was too risky either for me or for the Thunder Fang Sect. I also prefer freedom.
Take it easy, I'm not just hiding somewhere and scared to get out. On the contrary, a lot of things I've been doing lately.
About the pills."
Adam took out two small jade bottles from behind his clothes. He then threw it towards Lei Fan and Lei Na.
"Take it as a meeting gift. I'm grateful, but sorry, we're on a different path. However, that does not mean it will break our relationship.
If you need pills, come to City B. Go to Blue Rose High School in the middle of the month, at night on the full moon.
I'll sell you pills as usual. Instead, you can exchange for medicinal ingredients as well as various materials for crafting weapons."
"Are you serious, Mr Owl?"
"Of course I'm serious. However, if until you try to deceive or trap me, all the opportunities of exchanging in the future will be lost.
Besides, we'll be enemies.
Honestly, even if you guys are strong, I'm not afraid. If I can't beat all of you, I'm still sure that I won't be able to catch me at night.
That's why I'm called Blood Owl."
Saying that, Adam jumped back. At that very instant, he disappeared in the shadow of a tree. All that remained was a quiet voice.
"Then I'll see you next time."
Looking at where Adam disappeared, Lei Fan was shocked. Actually he wanted to talk a lot and ask Adam, but he ended up not being able to do it.
The young man looked towards Lei Na.
"We'll bring this good news back soon. I'm sure, Master and the elders are happy to hear that.
As for the previous snake matter, it seems that Mr. Owl had no intention of taking it. So, how about taking his head. After all, it can be used as evidence to add points."
Hearing Lei Fan's words, Lei Na nodded. He stared at the forest with a complicated expression. Actually, there's a lot he wants to ask Mr. Owl. Only, not a single word could be spoken from his mouth.
In the end, the girl could only follow Lei Fan back with a long sigh.
