Xing Bowen already realized he was dealing with someone utterly devoid of any bottom line. He had expected to simply die and be done with it, but now it seemed highly likely that he wouldn't die so easily—instead, he would experience firsthand what hell was like right here in the mortal world.
"The Dharma Treasures on you bear marks I placed. As long as you are within a mile of me, I can sense it," Xing Bowen confessed honestly. "I'm just a weapon refiner; I never learned any powerful Cultivation Formulas. The Dharma Treasures I plundered were all sold, and the silver I got in exchange went straight toward buying alchemical pills. The Treasure Plunder Sect captured me, planted a Gu poison in me, and forced me to take orders."
"Taking orders—you certainly have quite the business acumen. First you plunder someone else's Dharma Treasure, then you mark it, sell it, and go out to plunder again. Is that how the Treasure Plunder Sect does things?"
