Chapter 947: Chapter 944 Difficulties Chapter 947: Chapter 944 Difficulties On the other side, after returning to the wooden building, Granny Sun sat in the hall for a long time before suddenly getting up and walking into the back hall.

On the wall of the back hall hung an octagonal copper mirror. Granny Sun waved her hand, and the mirror began to creak and turn. Following its movement, a stone block about six feet square on the wall slowly sank down, revealing a pitch-black cave entrance.

Inside the cave entrance, a faint light of fire could be seen, and on the ground stretched a winding stone staircase leading downward.

Granny Sun followed the stone staircase down into a gloomy underground stone chamber.

Within the stone chamber, there was a large rectangular stone table with several gray-white stone chairs with backs around it, upon which sat seven or eight figures. The aura of most of them was strong; nearly all were Great Mahayana Stage Cultivators.

“Granny Sun, what's the situation with those few people?” an old woman dressed in a grey cloak, seated on a chair closer to the inside, leaned forward slightly and asked.

Her cheekbones protruded high, her eye sockets deeply sunken, her face aged, and her skin was riddled with wrinkle lines like earthworm tracks, appearing close to death's door, yet she was one of the few True Immortal cultivators in the village.

“They're just some outsiders who strayed into the village; pay them no mind. Let's talk about the important matters at hand,” Granny Sun said as she took her seat at the head, speaking slowly.

Upon hearing this, everyone ceased discussing further and fell silent for a while.

Seeing that no one else spoke, Granny Sun began speaking of her own accord, “You are all aware of the village's condition. Ever since the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead was lost, it's been a long time since a new True Immortal Cultivator has appeared in our village.”

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the stone chamber became even heavier, and all the cultivators remained silent.

“It's an unavoidable issue. Our Daughter Village has been cultivating the 'Poison Sutra' skills for generations. Although our cultivation speed far exceeds that of other sect's secret methods and our power is impressive, to advance to the True Immortal Stage, one must consume Ten Thousand Poisons as an aid, or else the chance of falling is extremely high. But the possibility of being backfired by the poisons consumed is also very high, and once the poison acts up, death and the destruction of one's path is the outcome,” a tall woman draped in a purple cloak couldn't help but say.

“The Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead could suppress all poisons in the world; it was the key to overcoming this problem, but unfortunately…” another person also couldn't help blurting out.

“Let's not talk about this fait accompli anymore. The Refining Body Altar claims they can help us with this matter; what do you think?” Granny Sun cut off her words and asked again.

After another moment of silence, the aged old woman with the declining visage spoke,

“The reputation of the Refining Body Altar has always been poor among the outside sects and forces, who consider them an evil demon's crooked path. Although they have indeed done some things over the years, they're not the actions of the upright path. I find their claims untrustworthy.”

“Elder Park's words are not quite right. Our Daughter Village's cultivation techniques and divine powers also depend on the path of poison. It's only because we seldom walk in the outside world that we're not seen as part of the orthodox way. As for the distinction between good and evil propagated outside, I don't think we need to take it seriously. Most importantly, is the Refining Body Altar's offer substantial and can we make use of it?” Another young woman in a white robe with a plump figure said.

Her name was Li Jianxue, also one of the village elders of Daughter Village, but she was only at the peak of the Mahayana Stage.

She had long coveted the True Immortal Stage just a step away, and if there really was a chance now, she didn't want to miss it.

“About that, I'm not too worried. Refining Body Altar, this once obscure and mysterious sect, must have some unique aspects that allowed it to rise so quickly. Perhaps the body refining technique they've researched to achieve immortality is not entirely false,” said a hunchbacked old woman, her voice hoarse.

“Elder Qiushui makes a good point. Without some real abilities, Refining Body Altar wouldn't have drawn so much attention from other sects. Their initiative to ally with us is also a good thing, better than them targeting us, right?”

As soon as she finished speaking, several Great Mahayana Elders immediately expressed their agreement.

“I never said they were definitely fake, but when dealing with such sects, one cannot be too cautious,” Elder Park said with a frown, deepening the wrinkles on her face.

“Refining Body Altar wouldn't be so generous without a motive. They want us to trade some of the 'Poison Sutra' techniques and thirteen secret poisons uniquely crafted by Daughter Village,” Granny Sun stated.

“Some of the techniques… I wonder how much that encompasses?” Elder Park's frown grew deeper.

“I've inquired in detail. Not much, just the basic first three volumes,” a voice with a hint of seduction suddenly rang out, and a wisp of white smoke poured from the passageway, gradually forming into a human shape.

Everyone first tensed up but relaxed after recognizing the newcomer.

The figure was delicate and petite, with snow-white skin, stunning beauty, a cinnabar mole at the corner of her right eyebrow, a naturally charming round face, and almond-shaped eyes that sparkled with moisture, exuding an enthralling allure.

However, in this stone chamber filled with women, there was little need for seduction.

“Elder Murong, don't you think it's a bit rude to barge in like this?” Elder Park stood up and said displeased.

“Oh dear, Elder Park, our Pansi Cave and Daughter Village have always been close as family, why bother with such mundane formalities? I just got the confirmed news from them and was in a rush to inform you all,” the seductive woman cooed, immediately rushing over to the old woman's side and lightly tugging at her arm, complaining.

“All right, Elder Murong is no outsider. Let's sit down and discuss this together,” Granny Sun said with a wave of her hand.

The seductive woman was named Murong Yu, a Great Mahayana Elder from Pansi Cave. She was instrumental in establishing a connection between Refining Body Altar and Daughter Village this time.

“Everyone, let's not paint Refining Body Altar in such an unfavorable light. Over the years, they've only been disgraced because of their conflict with the Great Tang Dynasty Government, which led to defamation from sects in cahoots with the government like Hua Sheng Temple. We have neither old grievances nor recent disputes with Refining Body Altar; had they no intent, they would not have bothered us,” Murong Yu began persuading as soon as she sat down.

“Did you get a clear answer about what they want our Daughter Village's three volumes of 'Poison Sutra' for?” Granny Sun asked, her voice stern.

“I did ask, and they said it's to help stabilize the foundations of their disciples and to incorporate a technique of body refining using poison into their skills. They didn't disclose the specifics, as it's confidential. Granny Sun, do you think we could provide them with the three volumes?” Murong Yu nodded and quickly responded.

“Did you get the names of the thirteen unique poisons they want?” Granny Sun didn't answer right away but continued inquiring.

“I have them, I almost forgot… Please have a look first,” Murong Yu slapped her forehead as if just remembering, and hastily handed over a finely made scroll.
