not interested

The lady's body trembled, and her face turned dark shades of red as she felt Max's gaze roaming all over her body, but she didn't shy away but rather puffed up her chest slightly to give a better view of her huge and enticing bust.

Since Max was staring at her like a predator watching a prey, she deduced that it would be a good idea to arouse Max's interest in her, that way, their chance of acquiring the pill would increase significantly.

Max on the other hand only feeds his eyes with the eye candy before him for just a few moments before regaining his bearing.

Although she looked sexually inviting, Max had seen women far more beautiful with more curves than her, and most had also died by his hands, so he wasn't the type to fall head over heels for a woman's charm.

"Why do you need this pill?" Max asked with a cold and impatient voice, why impatient? Well, they were wasting his time, he wanted to return sooner so he could exchange the pill for what he wanted.

Besides, he had already checked their bodies, since he was more than two realms higher than them, it wasn't a big deal for him.

He had discovered that they were all in very good condition, and their cultivation talent was average also, he didn't find anything wrong with them so why would they want the eternal flaming pill so badly?

"Well, actually..it isn't for any of us, it's actually for our sect leader" the lady at the third bone Harding stage said with sadness visible in her voice and face.

Max pondered for a while, so their sect master is the one in need of it? Why didn't this so-called sect leader send someone stronger then? This group before him would be long dead if it was any other cultivator in his place, probably.

"Thousand sword sect..why haven't I heard of such a sect before, care to tell me about it?" Max narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze past the seven or so people who were looking at him with nervousness written all over their faces.

This time, it was a man at the fourth blood-changing stage that answered him "the thousand sword sect is a relatively small sect at the far North from our position, the sect was founded just two hundred years ago so it's possible that senior hasn't heard of it"

Max nodded, accepting his explanation, that must probably be the case, moreover, he hasn't been to the northern part of the country in the past years, he had been busy, cultivating in seclusion that he rarely went anywhere without a valid reason.

"So your sect master is injured? why then didn't he send stronger people out to find medicine for him?" Max kept on with his interrogation.

" Our sect is only but a small sect, only our sect elders can rival senior, our sect got into a conflict with a neighboring sect but the matter led to a full-scale battle, since our sect was weaker than the other sect, we lost most of our senior brothers and senior sisters, including some of our elders, our sect master gave his all to defend the sect and later succeeded in halting the enemy sect advance but that he paid a price to achieve and he is now severely injured, we are most likely the strongest students in the sect right now hence the reason we were sent out for this mission" the voluptuous lady said sincerely, trying to earn Max's trust by coming out clean.

Max's face remained expressionless, he didn't feel any ounce of pity or sympathy after hearing her story, this somehow disappointed the lady since she now believed it would be hard to earn Max's interest.

"So what can your sect offer me in exchange for this pill?" Max said in the same cold and impatient voice.

"We hoped that Senior would accompany us back to the sect, senior would then be able to negotiate with our sect master directly, although I am unable to see through Senior's realm, I can feel that Senior is planning on making a breakthrough, I believe our sect master has treasures that could aid senior in his position" the man who spoke earlier stepped forward and proposed for max to follow them back to their sect so he could make demands himself.

"Of course, seniors can also ask for other things too, and as long as it is within our sect's power, we will fulfill it without fail"the third-stage woman quickly added after the man's words fell.

She was afraid that Max might find it inappropriate to accompany them back to their sect just to exchange the pill which could be done anywhere in any pill market.

Of course, there was also a hidden meaning behind her words, one which Max didn't fail to notice, coupled with her flushed expression and red face, it was quite easy to decipher what she was trying to say.

'Don't tell me she already fell in love with me, is my charm so irresistible to her?' Max thought inwardly.

"So what does senior think about our proposal?" the man at the fourth blood changing stage asked, trying to look calm but the truth was that he was praying seriously in his heart for Max to accept their offer.

And like cold buckets of water splashed on their heads, Max's reply left most of them petrified, unable to move.

"Not interested" with just two words, Max left most of them frozen in place, even the man in the fourth stage was unable to react.

' weren't we just having a nice conversation just now?'

' Please reconsider, I thought we were on good terms

Those were what the group of cultivators wanted to scream at Max but none had the guts to hand their life over to lady luck at the moment, so they just kept quiet and stared at Max with dissatisfaction.

Max didn't bother with them and just turned his flying sword, ready to fly away when a green light shot out from the group of cultivators, heading towards him.
