“The Golden Token of the Inner Disciples? Is it fake?”
“This guy who came out of nowhere is actually an Inner Disciple?”
“Since when did the status of the Inner Disciple of our Xingxiang Sect become a cabbage being sold in the market, just anyone could be one?”
In the Mission Hall, the surrounding disciples of the Xingxiang Sect looked at each other in dismay and then whispered to each other.
Then, some disciples who thought themselves to be quite something set their eyes upon Ye Zhong, their eyes flickering with greed. According to the rules of the Xingxiang Sect, Ye Zhong had become the target of all the Outer Disciples the moment his identity was revealed.
Ye Zhong acted as if he did not sense the changes happening around him, and tossed the Golden Token away. Elder Wu took the token and transferred 40,000 Spirit Value points in it before passing it back to Ye Zhong.
Looking at the 40,000 points in the Spirit Value Token, Ye Zhong smiled. With so many Spirit Value points on him, it would not be a big problem for him to reach the Fifth Layer of Body Tempering.
Ye Zhong did not say anything further, and turned to leave, preparing to find a place to cultivate.
“Haha, little fellow, don’t leave in such a hurry.” Seeing Ye Zhong leave, Elder Wu suddenly rubbed his hands and chuckled.
“Is there anything else, Elder?” Ye Zhong glanced at Elder Wu and spoke with caution.
“Hey hey, little kid, don’t look at me like that. Elder, I’m a very upright person.” Elder Wu puffed out his chest, and then, with a burning gaze, he said in a deep voice, “Little kid, according to the sect’s rules, since you took back the Inherited Golden Book, then it would naturally be your private property. Even our sect wouldn’t forcefully seize it from you… However, if you are willing to let us copy it, we will not forget about your contributions. Do you understand what I mean?”
Ye Zhong narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he spoke blandly, “Elder Wu, let’s not talk nonsense. Just tell me directly, if I were to let the sect make a copy of the book, what benefits would I get?”
“Uh huh, if you hand over the item on your own accord, then the sect can consider giving you a ten percent discount when you exchange for Spirit Herbs and Spirit Vessels. Also, you can enter the Third Floor of the Spiritual Secret Art Hall once!” Elder Wu thought for a moment before softly speaking.
Su Yu did not feel anything from the first part of the sentence. However, the latter half of the sentence caused her to be slightly stunned. Then, shock appeared on her face.
“Fifty percent off!” Ye Zhong did not notice the expression on Su Yu’s face. After some thought, he decided to bargain.
Ye Zhong’s outrageousness made Elder Wu’s eyes twitch, and he almost pulled off one of his whiskers. Trembling, he looked at Ye Zhong for a moment before sighing, “I finally know why a kid like you can do so much now. The bargain price is exorbitant. I admire you so much… Forget it, I will cover for you, I can at most give you a twenty percent discount. You have to know that even when us elders are exchanging Spirit Herbs, Spirit Vessels, and Spirit Pills, we could only get a twenty percent discount.”
“Is that so?” Ye Zhong stared at Elder Wu doubtfully and spoke softly.
“Youngest Junior Brother Ye Zhong, just agree.” Su Yu went close to Ye Zhong’s ear and said in a low voice, “The discount doesn’t matter in this exchange, but instead the Third Floor of the Spiritual Art Hall, as we are not allowed to enter this floor casually. Generally speaking, only the disciples who have made great contributions to the sect are qualified to enter the Third Floor. You should be content enough with it.”
Hearing Su Yu’s words, Ye Zhong thought for a moment before nodding slightly. He then casually tossed the Inherited Golden Book to Elder Wu. To be honest, Ye Zhong had already studied the Secret Art of Innate Marrow Washing along the way. Although it was a pretty good Spiritual Secret Art, compared to the Secret Art of Six Grave Swords within his body; it wasn’t much. So, after a skim through the book, Ye Zhong gave up on cultivating it. On the contrary, the Third Floor that Elder Wu mentioned at this moment caused him to feel a little more interested.
Ye Zhong knew quite a few Spiritual Secret Arts of Attack from his past life, but most of them were things he could not cultivate with his current power. The only thing that could be considered powerful was the Shura Sword Seal. This made Ye Zhong feel awkward. Now that he was able to enter the Third Floor of the Spiritual Secret Art Hall of the Xingxiang Sect, looking at how excited Su Yu was, he wondered if he could find a Spiritual Secret Art of Attack that he could cultivate at this very moment.
Glaring fiercely at Ye Zhong, Elder Wu kept the Inherited Golden Book and coughed, “Alright, kid, I will tell you everything. If you want to go to the Spiritual Secret Art Hall, just let the little girl, Su Yu know. She will bring you there when the time comes. Also, after copying the Inherited Golden Book, I will send someone to deliver it to you. “
“Thank you, Elder.” Ye Zhong cupped his hands in thanks and looked at the 40,000 points in his Spirit Value Token. His eyes were burning with passion.
At this moment, he was already at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering. According to the Secret Art of Six Grave Swords, as long as he had another Purple Wood Spirit Root, he should be able to smoothly advance to the Fifth Layer of Body Tempering.
The recent trip to the Innate Temple made Ye Zhong realize that compared to some of the peerless juniors of the generation, his own strength was still lacking. If it wasn’t for his rich battle experience and keen sense, he might have fallen inside the Innate Temple already.
Thus, strength was the most important factor. No matter what he was going to do in the future, if he didn’t have enough strength, then everything would be for naught.
When the two of them bade farewell to Elder Wu and walked out of the Mission Hall, Ye Zhong scanned his surroundings and strode towards the Spiritual Medicine Hall. According to Su Yu, there should be some Spirit Herbs that he needed in the hall.
Upon seeing Ye Zhong’s reaction, Su Yu sighed and quickly caught up with him. However, just as she took a few steps, a frown appeared on her face, and her expression turned somewhat ugly.
“Hehehe, Senior Sister Su Yu, long time no see!”
Ye Zhong frowned slightly. On his way to the Spirit Medicine Hall, a man in a white robe, about seventeen or eighteen years old walked out slowly. He turned his fervent gaze towards Su Yu behind Ye Zhong and ignored him.
“When I was in the courtyard, someone told me that Senior Sister Su Yu had returned, I couldn’t resist coming over to greet you. Senior Sister, you wouldn’t mind, would you?” The man smiled warmly at Su Yu. The smile on his face could be said to be perfect.
“Chu Yun, I don’t remember the two of us being that familiar, right?” Su Yu frowned and spoke with a hint of indifference.
“Haha, Senior Sister Su Yu really knows how to joke around. Our cooperation isn’t the first or second time. After not seeing each other for so long, it should be good to reminisce about the past, right? Or should I say, once there’s a new person, you would forget the old one.” The man who was called Chu Yun sighed, and then his gaze slowly fell upon Ye Zhong. The bitterness in his eyes could chill Ye Zhong to the bone.
It seemed that this Senior Sister Su Yu of his was truly a sinful woman.
“You two, take your time chatting. I’ll be leaving first.” Ye Zhong turned back to look at Su Yu, waved his hand, and took a detour, preparing to leave. It was obvious that Chu Yun was Su Yu’s pursuer, and Ye Zhong was not bored enough to get involved in this kind of playing house game.
“Ye Zhong, you heartless bast*rd!” Su Yu snorted and stomped her feet, feigning anger coquettishly.
Hearing this, Ye Zhong staggered and almost fell down. This woman was indeed not to be messed with.
“Ye Zhong? You are that Ye Zhong? Ye Clan’s trash, Ye Zhong?”
At this moment, Chu Yun’s eyes, which were originally focused on Ye Zhong, began to show a hint of ridicule, “I was wondering who you are, you’re the Ye Clan trash. Although I do not know how you managed to sneak into our Xingxiang Sect, but it would be best for you to take advantage of the fact that no one has noticed you yet, and scram! Otherwise, even the Emperor will not be able to save you now! Of course, if you want to be this young master’s dog, then as long as you kneel down and beg me, it’s not impossible!”
As his voice faded, Ye Zhong, who was originally not planning to take care of this matter, his eyes suddenly turned cold as his indifferent gaze fell on Chu Yun.
“Ye Zhong, forget it, forget it!” Su Yu’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the scene. She quickly pressed down on Ye Zhong’s shoulder and spoke softly.
She had some understanding of Ye Zhong’s style of doing things. As long as it was within his capabilities, Ye Zhong didn’t feel like leaving the troubles behind. Although Chu Yun had a strong background, Ye Zhong would never put it in his eyes. If she was not careful and let things escalate further, Ye Zhong might casually kill Chu Yun. If he killed someone within the sect, then it would be very troublesome to pursue the responsibility.
Su Yu was originally extremely eye-catching, and Chu Yun seemed to have quite the background. The moment the two sides clashed, it instantly attracted countless gazes. And when the disciples who were in the Mission Hall saw this scene, they became extremely curious with brilliant eyes.
If this Chu Yun thought Ye Zhong was a pushover that he could crush at will, then the situation today would be rather interesting.
Of course, many of them were sceptical of Ye Zhong’s capabilities. A person who was never seen in the Xingxiang Sect had somehow become an Inner Disciple. Who would believe this?
At this moment, the City Lord’s Mansion was still suppressed by the people behind the scenes. The news of the Innate Temple had yet to be reported back. In the eyes of many, the name ‘Ye Zhong’ still represented the trash of the Ye Clan …
