Chapter 589 - 109: The Temptation of the Jade Sword Buddha_2
Because this is not the mortal officialdom, even though the Daoist Sect rules the world and has established the first-ever grand unification in history, the power of the world now has a specific authority.
But some things cannot be changed; for the absolute strong, not causing trouble is good enough, being too close can be very dangerous.
Especially for a Venerable with the power over life and death.
Chi Yu Zi walked into the palace, picked up a golden incense burner, and remarked, "These sects that advocate Dual Cultivation are always extremely extravagant, living in magnificent palaces. At Broken Sword Mountain and Three Pure Mountain, we can only live in a small courtyard."
"You don’t like living in big houses?"
Gu Wen found a chair to sit on, the cushion was made of golden silk, even more luxurious than the imperial palace.
"Luxurious is always better than shabby; the worst place I’ve lived in is the Sword Temple."
Jade Sword Buddha, suddenly mentioned, slightly moved her brows, somewhat discontented, and said, "Amitabha, the path of the Buddha Sword is supposed to be austere; how can one speak of austerity if the dwelling is resplendent?"
Gu Wen said, "It is indeed quite austere, for a First-class Sect to not even be able to produce ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones."
Spirit Stones are the hard currency in the Cultivation World, but not an absolute necessity.
There are some sects in the world that don’t rely on Spirit Stones and Pills, such as the Jade Sword Buddha’s Sword Temple. Generally, such sects are ascetics, sparsely populated, unable to become significant forces.
