Chapter 50

Volume One: Mountain Ghost Rumor, Chapter 50: Future

Talking to this point, it became Bai Yuqing helping Zhao Chan kill the mountain ghost, and Zhao Chan having to repay her losses with his future.

It seems that Bai Yuqing is empty-handed and white-wolf, letting Zhao Chan work for her for no reason.

The risk is still very high.

The young man is now in the Body Refining realm. Even if he is a genius, it is unknown to what extent he will grow.

Moreover, the cultivation path is long and difficult. Who knows if Zhao Chan will fall halfway, or become ordinary.

"Tomorrow evening, I will wait for you outside the Xizhao Inn." she said.

"Mountain Ghost Flower Coins are so precious, I suppose the mountain ghost must be a priceless treasure. Miss Bai agreed so readily, won't you regret it in the future?"

"Heh, do you like to think for others? Whether this deal is a loss or a profit is borne by me alone, what does it have to do with you? You just need to practice step by step. When you feel you can repay my losses, you don't need to find me, I will naturally appear in front of you to ask for it..."

Huangfu Changqiu curled her lips, and Xun Lan also felt that Bai Yuqing had dug a hole for Zhao Chan.

It's just a mountain ghost.

Xun Lan knew that Baoyu Studio had no less than ten mountain ghosts and two Mountain Gods spitting money day and night. The grade of the mountain ghost is particularly high, and it was carefully cultivated by Baoyu Studio.

She knew the number of mountain ghosts in Hengwu Pavilion very well. After all, it was her own sect, with a total of fourteen high-grade mountain ghosts, all of which were Foundation Establishment realm, and there were three Mountain Gods. These three Mountain Gods were promoted from mountain ghosts who were loyal to Hengwu Pavilion by Hengwu Pavilion asking the temple for edicts, and they were the top twenty big mountains in the Heinei Kingdom!

Huangfu Changqiu transmitted her voice: "Senior Sister Xun, Zhao Chan is after all just entering the cultivation world, very immature.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter is a big hole tailored for him by Bai Yuqing!

In my opinion, Bai Yuqing doesn't care about the mountain ghost at all. Even if it is promoted to a Mountain God, it is no big deal to her. As a figure like her, she certainly doesn't lack Mountain Ghost Flower Coins or Mountain God Coins."

Xun Lan also transmitted her voice, saying slowly: "You just saw it? When Bai Yuqing didn't let us take Zhao Chan away, I guessed it.

Furthermore, she arrived one step earlier than us, and the causal entanglement between her and Zhao Chan is gradually deepening. In the future, if the young man wants to cut off this causal entanglement, I am afraid he will be powerless."

"Sigh, we arrived late."

"I didn't expect Bai Yuqing to be here. If it were someone else, they would have taken Zhao Chan away long ago."

"Fairy Bai made a good deal."

Zhao Chan asked: "How do I repay?"

Bai Youjun secretly pinched Bai Yuqing, but she ignored Qing's signal, "A mountain ghost is worth a Low-grade Spirit Tool, four High-grade Dharma Artifacts, and ten bottles of Spirit Pills. For Spirit Pills, I only want 'Yunling Huicui Pills'."

The Feishi sword he carried on his back was a Low-grade Dharma Artifact, and what Bai Yuqing asked for had already exceeded the young man's understanding.

How should a Low-grade Spirit Tool be obtained?

Where should he look for four High-grade Dharma Artifacts?

What is a "Yunling Huicui Pill"?

"Okay." Zhao Chan nodded and agreed.

Xun Lan and Huangfu Changqiu were both stunned.

How could a mountain ghost have such great value!

Not to mention a Low-grade Spirit Tool, they both thought ten bottles of "Yunling Huicui Pills" were too many, at most four bottles would be enough.

Zhao Chan is not a mountain sect with deep foundations, where can he get four High-grade Dharma Artifacts?

Bai Yuqing is simply opening her lion's mouth!

"A gentleman's word is hard to chase." Bai Yuqing laughed particularly happily, "No need to sign a contract, I believe you are a gentleman who keeps his promise."

Bai Youjun whispered: "Elder Sister, don't pit Young Master."

"Shut up!"

"..."

Bai Yuqing said: "There is nothing else urgent for the time being, go back and have a good rest, and come over on time tomorrow evening."

"Yes."

Zhao Chan turned and walked towards Xie Wan, who had packed the food box for him.

Xie Wan had not heard a word of their conversation.

"Little Toad, the steamed fish, stewed chicken, braised beef, and bamboo shoots stir-fried with shepherd's purse are all inside."

"Thank you, Sister Wan'er."

"Right, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Xie Wan asked in a low voice.

Zhao Chan shook his head slightly: "Sister Wan'er, I still have things to do, goodbye."

Carrying the food box, he walked quickly towards Nongsui Lane.

There were two outsider cultivators on the street of Caiyan Street staring at him.

Zhao Chan seemed not to notice, turned into the alley, and the two followed quickly.

Inside Xizhao Inn.

Bai Yuqing sat and drank hot tea slowly: "You also heard Zhao Chan's words."

She repeated the young man's words and asked: "Could it be that Baoyu Studio and Hengwu Pavilion are in the same group as the demons?"

Xun Lan thought about the next answer and said leisurely: "He has only entered the cultivation world for a few days, so naturally he doesn't understand the rules of the mountain. Not to mention Baoyu Studio, Hengwu Pavilion alone has lost more than thirty disciples in battle to cooperate with the Demon Slaying Division to kill big demons and big devils.

And I, so far, have killed five Middle Five Realms demons, one of which was the eighteenth elder of the Chuihun Sect.

How many people have been saved is not comparable to a small Youju Town?

Moreover, Fairy Bai is unwilling to help us say a few good words within her ability... I don't want to do such a thankless task."

Huangfu Changqiu was more direct: "I am a disciple of Baoyu Studio, not a Demon Slayer of the Demon Slaying Division. Of course, if Fairy Bai is willing to say good things for Baoyu Studio and Hengwu Pavilion, our sisters are duty-bound for this little matter in Youju Town!"

The price of saying good things for Baoyu Studio and Hengwu Pavilion is really too high.

Bai Yuqing knew the key to this, so she didn't accept their conditions.

As for them sending gifts to thank the Demon Slaying Division after taking Wu Ting and Chen Xianggu away, they learned from Yushen Mountain, but in that way, they would not need to get involved in this thankless task in Youju Town.

Bai Yuqing sneered: "You speak lightly. Demon Slayers who have always helped mountain sects say good things have no good end."

She is still a Xiuyi Guard of Baize Hall. Once she speaks well for Baoyu Studio and Hengwu Pavilion, she will quickly be suspected of whether they are colluding in private.

"No good end? Fairy Bai can come to our two sects to be an offering and a guest minister."

"I said I would stay in the Xitang Kingdom Demon Slaying Division for sixty years."

When they first met, Huangfu Changqiu invited her, but Bai Yuqing declined.

Huangfu Changqiu asked curiously: "Who has such a big face to let Fairy Bai stay here for sixty years?"

At that time, she said she promised someone to stay in Xitang Kingdom for sixty years.

"No comment."

Immediately after, Xun Lan laughed slowly: "The Demon Slaying Division really makes people feel unfree. It is understandable to be alienated and excluded after becoming an offering and guest minister of a mountain sect, but to say a few words of conscience for a mountain sect will also be suspected and cold-shouldered, and even expelled from the Demon Slaying Division. I don't understand."

Bai Yuqing sipped her tea, looked out the window, and said nothing.

Bai Youjun didn't want to stay in the inn. She wanted to find Young Master, but one of her elder sister's hands grabbed her wrist, not letting her go.

Zhao Chan put down the food box, "Big Brother Kong..."

Seeing that his expression didn't change much, Kong Yanxing originally thought he was calling him to eat.

He never expected that the news Zhao Chan threw out was comparable to the loudest thunder, shaking Kong Yanxing so much that he stood up suddenly regardless of the severe pain in his body.

"Hundred Treasure Zhen Pan Xi?! Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true."

"Go with me to Xizhao Inn, I want to ask clearly in person... wait, did Bai Yuqing let Bai Youjun tell you?"

"Yes."

Kong Yanxing sat back on the bed slowly and waved his hand: "Even if the sky falls, we must have a full stomach to deal with it. Come, eat! Where is the wine?"

"Can Big Brother Kong drink wine now?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Chan untied the wine gourd hanging from his waist, washed the empty bowl, and poured it full for him.

"'Waves of wine and idle tea, lying on willows and sleeping on flowers'?" Kong Yanxing read word by word, and immediately held back his laughter.

"Is it inappropriate?"

"Appropriate, appropriate, too appropriate for you, eat, eat."

"Big Brother Kong seems to know Miss Bai?"

"Her? I don't know."

It seems that Pacification Envoy Bai did not tell Zhao Chan her true identity. Since she didn't say it, there must be other arrangements. How could Kong Yanxing dare to ruin the affairs of an Eighth-Rank Pacification Envoy?

The four official positions of the ninth rank correspond to the Lower Four Realms.

The Eighth-Rank Pacification Envoy is the Middle Five Realms.

Pinching him to death is no different from pinching an insect to death.

Moreover, Pacification Envoy Bai is famous. When Kong Yanxing drank too much with his Demon Slayer brothers, they all patted their chests and shouted that they grew up listening to the stories of Pacification Envoy Bai killing demons.

Zhao Chan took out the food in the food box one by one.

The food box has four layers, one dish per layer.

Kong Yanxing said with satisfaction: "Steamed fish, stewed chicken, how did you know my appetite? Usually, I don't like dishes with heavy oil and salt, I just like light ones. Oh, don't stand there, why be polite? Sit down and eat quickly."

It was as if he was treating Zhao Chan to a meal, not Zhao Chan treating him.

A bite of fish, a bite of wine.

Kong Yanxing smacked his lips: "The wine is okay, when we get to Yang County, I will treat you to the best wine in the county."

He asked: "Big Brother Kong, you don't seem to be worried?"

"Worried, how can I not be worried? I just told you, even if the sky falls, we must fill our stomachs before we can prop up the sky again, understand?"

"Understand." Zhao Chan nodded.

He finished talking about Hundred Treasure Zhen Pan Xi, and Big Brother Kong's expression changed drastically.

But after learning that Miss Bai ordered Miss Bai to tell him, he instantly became unhurried.

Although Big Brother Kong denied knowing Miss Bai, Zhao Chan felt that Big Brother Kong was lying. From the change in his expression, he at least knew Miss Bai.

Could Bai Yuqing be a Demon Slayer? Zhao Chan speculated to himself.

Thinking back to the conversation at the inn just now...

Kong Yanxing suddenly turned his head to look at the courtyard.

Zhao Chan had already grabbed the hilt of the Feishi sword and stood up to walk towards the two uninvited guests.

"I walked out of the inn, and they followed me. I thought they wouldn't break in," the young man said calmly.

Kong Yanxing held the bowl and drank wine in small sips, muttering vaguely: "Deal with it yourself."

The two uninvited guests stared at Zhao Chan, and one cursed: "Get out, you are not the opponent of our brothers. We are here to kill the person in the house, it has nothing to do with you."

Zhao Chan didn't know their cultivation, he only knew one thing.

The two were murderous, but he didn't feel any pressure, so they were not his opponents and could be killed quickly.

Unlike that old flood dragon in the mountains, which pressed him as if he were carrying a mountain.

It was also unlike the mountain ghost, which made people terrified.

The words had not yet fallen.

The Feishi sword slid out of the scabbard with a sound.

Kong Yanxing stumbled to the door, leaning on the door frame with one hand, watching Zhao Chan rushing towards the two outsider cultivators.

When the young man pulled out his sword, he clearly sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"Without a Qi Gathering realm technique, where did Zhao Chan get the spiritual energy?"

It was still the "plain" third form of the "Shake God Sword," Sword Mark, in Kong Yanxing's eyes.

Feishi sword is different from the peach branch. Zhao Chan, who had not had this sword for long, was not familiar with it, but relying on the sword body weighing more than thirty catties, he did not seek speed but only killing power. The sword mark appeared in mid-air, and the two outsider cultivators reacted in time and pulled out their weapons.

However, their weapons were still a distance away from the Low-grade Dharma Artifact. Feishi cut off one person's long knife and slashed to one person's chest. Zhao Chan's strength exploded, and he cut his upper body into two pieces.

His right foot stopped, and his sword-holding hand brought it again. The Feishi sword seemed to have eyes, and it slanted to block the iron whip swung by the other person.

Without any stagnation, the sword body wrapped around the iron whip and beheaded this person with the front blade.

"No extra movements, just to kill. This kid is a natural swordsman," Kong Yanxing muttered to himself.

Shaking the blood off the sword body, he bent down and picked up the iron whip.

Kong Yanxing asked with a smile: "Do you want to sell junk?"

Zhao Chan carried the iron whip and asked sincerely: "Big Brother Kong, does the Demon Slaying Division collect weapons?"

"..." Kong Yanxing took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "Collect! Come back to eat after finishing the work, the food will be cold in a while, it won't taste good if it's cold."

"Yes."

Zhao Chan put the iron whip aside and glanced at it from time to time.

"I guess it's worth one tael and two silver," Kong Yanxing said while chewing chicken.

The heat of the stewed chicken was slightly off. If the heat was just right, the chicken would not only not be dry, but would also sizzle with oil.

Zhao Chan was relieved immediately. He was really afraid of being poor: "What is their cultivation?"

"One is Lower-Grade Body Refining realm, the one using the iron whip is Middle-Grade Body Refining realm, neither is as good as you. It's strange, how dare the small shrimp of the Body Refining realm come?" Kong Yanxing said disdainfully, "Is this sword too heavy for you?"

Zhao Chan said: "I should have just gotten it, I'm not very used to it."

"Even in the mountain sects, there are not many disciples who hold Low-grade Dharma Artifacts," Kong Yanxing exhaled wine, "Logically speaking, our Demon Slaying Division cannot be so rich that even Captains can wear Low-grade Dharma Artifacts... Heh, do you want to know the reason?"

"Yes."

"Not to mention the Demon Slaying Division of dynasties and big countries, the Demon Slaying Division of other small countries is really poor, wishing to smash the pots and sell the iron! Although Xitang Kingdom is also a small country, we are different! Because... because we are powerful!"

"Powerful?"

"Powerful enough to help other small countries cut down mountains and break temples, kill demons and sweep away monsters. In this way, we won't lack Dharma Artifacts and Spirit Artifacts.

Besides, the mountain sects are all spineless. Many mountain sects are afraid of us, and every day they send Dharma Artifacts, pills, and cultivation secrets under various pretexts."

Zhao Chan scratched his head: "We don't just kill demons, but also cultivators?"

"Hmph, the rabbit dies and the fox grieves, they are afraid that one day we will find them and pull them out by the roots! But having said that, the Demon Slaying Division cuts down mountains and breaks temples for a reason. If it weren't for the mountain sects being lawless, if it weren't for private worship, the Demon Slaying Division would not only not attack the mountain sects, but would also help them.

The Demon Slaying Division of those small countries is not as powerful as us. The mountain sects in the country press them, and they live aggrieved."

Kong Yanxing stretched his head and whispered: "When you become a big cultivator in the future, help the colleagues of the Demon Slaying Division in small countries more. They are not easy. They not only kill demons but also have to guard against the chaos of the mountain sects."

Zhao Chan nodded solemnly.

"The old flood dragon of Wangqing River was killed?" A Ping looked at Xiaoshui in shock.

Xiaoshui was tossing his ingredients.

Changed to a new trick.

Nine-Turn Large Intestine, Meatball Soup, Braised Pork, Human Head Topped Noodles.
