Unrivaled Medicine God, page 109
Ye Yuan followed the direction he pointed to and looked over, but it was a hut. With any surprise, it should be the place for firewood and such.
Zhang Jing had not walked far away yet and naturally saw this scene. But he did not plan on going over to help Ye Yuan. He also really wanted to see just what areas he surpassed others in, to actually make Senior Apprentice Brother Mo send him directly to the Earth Barracks.
If things really became out of hand, he would naturally come forward to help Ye Yuan sweep away these flies.
However, if Ye Yuan was purely just a loser, then whether or not he came forward was another matter altogether. That would mean that Senior Apprentice Brother Mo was only just screwing with Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed lightly. He said with a helpless face, "Is there no third path that I can choose?"
Ceng Yu chortled with laughter and said, "Yes! Of course, there is! I'm the most reasonable!"
Ye Yuan did not speak but waited for Ceng Yu to continue talking.
"Looking at your appearance, you should have just entered, right? As long as you hand over 100 points, you can stay here tonight for one night. How's that? This price is still very reasonable, yeah? Not only today. It will be like this in the future too. Every 100 points, one night. If you don't hand it over, also not an issue. Stay in the hut!" Ceng Yu had a sincere face and looked as if he was a philanthropist.
Truthfully, students who just entered the Earth Barracks being bullied by this group of people was a recurring event.
Relying on extorting newcomers, Ceng Yu's and his gang's points had always been decent. Their lives in the Earth Barracks were rather pleasant.
Of course, only this sort of people like him that was the classical case of not desiring to move up and did not have much room for improvement would do this kind of things.
It was because Ceng Yu could not advance and could not move down that he would choose such a method.
On this aspect, the sect's management was not much different from the Dan Wu Academy. As long as one did not violate sect rules and did not cause death, nobody would bother with you being a little tyrannical.
The martial artist world had always been about talking with strength.
Ye Yuan did not get angry. On the contrary, Ceng Yu's words made his eyes light up as he asked curiously, "Points can be transferred privately?"
"Of course! As long as you're willing, you can use soul force to transfer the points in your identity token to my token. Such actions are one-way and must be out of your own willingness. How about it? Let's begin?" Ceng Yu did not think too much and just explained away.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's start!"
Ceng Yu smirked and fished out his own identity token. He said with a smile, "A man who can recognize the present situation is a great man. I admire you very much, boy! On the account that you're so forthright, I'll give you a 20% discount in the future. One night, 80 points!"
Ceng Yu initially thought that he would need to expend some effort, but who knew that this punk was a loser who directly conceded.
But thinking about it, Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm matching up with him, one fight was enough for him to lie in bed for half a month. It was naturally not more worthwhile than just directly giving the points.
Protecting one's interest and staying away from harm was the move of a wise man!
However, Ye Yuan did not take out his identity card. Instead, he said with a grin, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng, right? I think you're mistaken. What I meant was that you guys transfer me the points. Well, I'm a very fair person. One night, 200 points are enough."
Ceng Yu's face changed. He only knew now that he was being fooled by Ye Yuan. He said icily, "You're very daring, punk! To actually dare make a mockery out of me, Ceng Yu?"
"Punk, you're the one courting death. Don't blame Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng for not giving you a chance!"
"Turns out that it's a tough bone. Really misjudged! Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng, I'll teach this punk a good lesson for you!"
"To actually dare to trick Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng, heh heh, I think you won't even get to stay in the woodshed."
The few people by the side also reacted at this time. Each one of them was taking delight in others' misfortune and even rubbing their hands together, itching for a go.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I also didn't say to begin transferring to you. It was your own wishful thinking that you thought that way. From today onwards, you guys can sleep in the woodshed for 100 points per night."
The group of people looked at Ye Yuan like they were staring at a fool. Could this punk have lost his mind?
But at this juncture, everyone could also tell that today's matter would not end well.
Especially Zhang Jing. He initially also thought that Ye Yuan was a loser, laying down his arms and surrendering right away. But he did not think that this matter would have a 180-degree turn. Ye Yuan actually dared to ask protection fee from Ceng Yu!
Zhang Jing had no idea whether Ye Yuan really had some capabilities or was he simply soft in the head. If not, he was a spoiled young master.
"Heh heh, really won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Since you want to sleep out in the open, then I'll help you!"
"Wind Thunder Palm!"
Ceng Yu put away his token and attacked Ye Yuan with a lightning speed palm!
He was quick, but Ye Yuan was even faster than him!
Spirit Void Shattering Space was suddenly unleashed. Ye Yuan's sword finger arrived in front of Ceng Yu in a blink of an eye. He actually arrived first even though he moved later!
Ceng Yu's palm hit nothing while Ye Yuan's sword finger was in contact with his chest!
Seeing this scene, everyone's pupils shrunk!
This was precisely deliberate in counsel, prompt in action! A moment earlier, Ye Yuan was still frail like a tiny blade of grass swaying in the wind. The next instant, his entire being transformed into a sharp sword!
It looked as if Ye Yuan's sword finger only lightly tapped on Ceng Yu's chest and did not seem to have used much strength.
But Ceng Yu's body directly flew out like he collided with a spring, only stopping after rolling on the floor for over a hundred feet.
Ye Yuan looked at his sword finger and started frowning. He muttered to himself, "Got to make good use of my time to cultivate. This finger actually failed to even break the protective essence energy!"
Everyone collectively turned into stone when they heard this sentence from Ye Yuan.
A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm sent the peak Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Ceng Yu flying with one finger and was actually disgruntled with such a battle result?
Although Ceng Yu was kind of an ass, his strength was not considered weak. If not, he also would not be able to stay securely in the Earth Barracks.
In the Earth Barracks, even if one wanted to become a local tyrant, they also need some skills!
Those sect disciples who had just obtained the qualifications to stay in the Earth Barracks were not soft persimmon that anyone could squeeze. Without some capabilities, they might get their faces smacked by them instead.
But Ceng Yu had never failed to bully new disciples before!
He would not bully anyone who comes. Before bullying people, he would look at the other person's performance first. If the other party were a fierce character, he would give up decisively.
He did not think that he would actually be sent flying by a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm with one finger today!
"Hey, crawl up if you're not dead. All of you, come together!" Ye Yuan said to Ceng Yu who was pretending to be dead on the ground.
Chapter 219. There's Someone Delivering a Pillow When Taking a Nap! |
Ceng Yu struggled to crawl up from the ground. He rubbed his faintly aching chest, and the gaze he had toward Ye Yuan with was filled with hatred and rage.
He originally thought that a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat was easy to bully, but he did not imagine that he would fail right after coming up.
This time, he lost a great deal of face. Truly a major setback due to carelessness. He did not think that this punk's speed was so fast!
Luckily, Ye Yuan was only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Otherwise, that blow just now would be him lying in bed for half a month.
The way he saw it, it was naturally a moment of carelessness for him earlier. He did not think that he would be taken in because Ye Yuan's speed was fast.
"Stinking brat, you're the one who said it. Brothers, there's no need to be courteous. Give him a proper greeting!"
Although Ceng Yu felt that it was him being careless just now, he did not dare to be negligent, so he directly called the others to attack together.
Ceng Yu and his gang were only five men. To Ye Yuan, it was no different from one person.
Under everyone's eyes, Ye Yuan became nine people just like that.
"Nine Swords Stance!"
A faint voice sounded. Nine streaks of force vanished after a flash. Following which, heart-rending cries sounded out here and there. Five people were struck at the same time!
Of course, the most miserable one was still Ceng Yu. He sustained five streaks of force alone.
While this force could not kill, he was currently badly battered, contorting his face in agonizing pain.
"Can you begin now, Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng?" Ye Yuan took two steps in front of asked lightly.
Ceng Yu was startled by Ye Yuan's actions. He quickly scrambled backward and hurriedly said, "Can, can. I . . . I'll give you 200 points right now. Don't attack anymore, Junior Apprentice Brother!"
Ceng Yu speedily fished out his token and swiped 200 points into Ye Yuan's token. Ye Yuan's points instantly became 300.
At this point, if he still thought that Ye Yuan was a soft persimmon, then he would really be a fool.
How was this a soft persimmon? This was clearly a metal plate!
He really kicked a metal plate today!
Ceng Yu was currently regretting until his intestines were green. He heard just now that the newcomer was only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, so he brought people over to collect protection fees without even thinking about it.
Who knew that he would fail to collect protections fees but had protection fees collected instead!
How black-hearted!
Collecting 200 points a night, that was the same price as an A-grade cultivation room!
He only had 2 thousand points in his token. If this brat were to collect protection fees every day onwards, didn't that mean that his points would be finished in 10 days?
This was the type of situation where whatever a person feared, it would happen. After Ye Yuan finished collecting the other people's points, he opened his mouth again to say, "In future, report here every day. Remember to bring points! You can still choose to stay in the woodshed. It's very cheap; only 100 points a night. Well, if you don't come, bear the consequences yourself!"
"Ah? H-have to come every day?" Ceng Yu enquired with a bitter face.
"What? Need me to repeat again?" Ye Yuan looked at Ceng Yu and asked with a grin.
"No no no, definitely come. I will definitely come! This . . . Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, can we . . . leave now?" Ceng Yu asked weakly.
"Of course, you can. Don't tell me you still want me to keep you guys here to have a meal?" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Ceng Yu and the rest felt immediate relief from heavy pressure and hurriedly rolled and crawled away.
Afterward, under silence, Ye Yuan brought Lu-er into his little court.
With a bang, the door was shut, startling everyone awake.
"Where . . . Where did this Junior Apprentice Brother come from? I-is he really Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm?"
"Isn't that nonsense? Don't you have eyes? From the start till end, his essence energy undulations has always been Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!"
"But . . . isn't this too sick? A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm can defeat Ceng Yu. Isn't this sort of leaping ranks to battle a little too exaggerated?"
"It's not a little exaggerated! I've never heard of crossing four minor realms to do battle within the sect before! This sort of situation only happens in the secular world, right?"
"However, this Junior Apprentice Brother is still too rash. He beat Ceng Yu until this manner and even snatched their points. Ceng Yu definitely won't let this matter go!"
"Yeah. Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng is estimated to return to the sect soon, yeah? Once he returns, there will be a good show to watch! I wonder if this Junior Apprentice Brother will remain so bold when facing Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng!"
These people were discussing Ye Yuan but did not know how great the shock Ye Yuan gave Zhang Jing was.
He was dead sure that Ye Yuan absolutely showed mercy just now!
Among the people present, Zhang Jing's cultivation was the highest. Furthermore, he was the same as Mo Yuntian; they both cultivated in the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!
While Zhang Jing's attainments in Sword Dao could not compare to Mo Yuntian, it was still quite profound.
Just now, that force appeared to have been struck out with finger skills by Ye Yuan. But Zhang Jing clearly sensed a familiar sword intent!
It looked like, yet was not really the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent!
An absurd idea suddenly flashed past Zhang Jing's mind. Although Ye Yuan's Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent seemed to appear correct, yet was wrong, it was even stronger than it!
It was just that Ye Yuan was limited by his strength and could not unleash the true might of this sword intent.
Even so, this was plenty for him to leap ranks and battle!
If Ye Yuan was holding a sword in his hand just now, even the most ordinary sword, wanting to kill Ceng Yu was as easy as turning his hand!
While finger skills could imitate sword intent, compared to a real sword, it was lacking in some parts of killing qi and sharp intent. The attack power would naturally be much lousier.
Also, Ceng Yu's realm was much higher than Ye Yuan's. Hence, it was quite taxing for Ye Yuan to want to break his protective essence energy.
This was the source of why Ye Yuan was lamenting about his realm being too low.
He finally understood now why Senior Apprentice Brother Mo would hesitate on where to place Ye Yuan.
He was not undecided on whether to place Ye Yuan in the Earth Barracks or Human Barracks, but uncertain on whether or not to put Ye Yuan in the Heaven Barracks!
Ye Yuan's talent was not the slightest bit inferior to those freaks in the Heaven Barracks!
Incorrect, it should be even higher!
Among those freaks in the Heaven Barracks, which one of them could crush fellow disciples four minor realms higher than them when they were at Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm?
With Ye Yuan's talent, challenging those freaks in the Heaven Barracks was only a matter of time!
At this current moment, Zhang Jing felt that everything that was illogical become rational.
Mo Yuntian's hesitation, Long Tang's indifference, Nanfeng Ruoqing's calmness. Before this, Zhang Jing thought that it was very abnormal.
Only now did he know that they simply felt that it was natural and right!
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan obviously could not be bothered with other people's astonishment. He was currently feeling quite satisfied.
He was still worrying that getting points would be very troublesome and very taxing on time. He did not think that there would be someone delivering a pillow when he wanted to take a nap.
Right after entering the sect and someone delivered 1000 points!
Adding the original points, he already had 1100 points in this short work.
Nice one. Now, he could train in the A-grade cultivation room for five whole days.
To Ye Yuan, the most pressing issue on hand was raising cultivation realm. Ever since the breakthrough when battling with Black Crow Old Man the previous time, a month's time had already passed.
During this one month, he experienced several major life and death fights and had consolidated his realm long ago.
Presently, his breakthrough in cultivation realm was already at hand. It was only waiting for him.
After settling down in his lodging, Ye Yuan prepared to go to the A-grade cultivation room to cultivate. He planned on breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm in a single go!
Chapter 220. Vying for an A-grade Cultivation Room |
The next day.
Ye Yuan arrived at the cultivation venues early in the morning.
The disciple on duty looked sideways at Ye Yuan and said indifferently, "Swipe your identity token at the green colored light column over there and find the room yourself. There are still many D-grade rooms. Pick anyone you like."
"I want an A-grade cultivation room." Ye Yuan could not be bothered to explain and said directly.
That disciple thought that he heard wrongly and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said I want an A-grade cultivation room!" Ye Yuan repeated again.
That disciple could not help re-sizing up Ye Yuan before asking curiously, "Do you have so many points?"
This disciple could not be blamed for looking down on Ye Yuan. Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength was at most the standards of an outer-sect disciple.
To outer-sect disciples, points were a very luxurious item. Basically, the points they could get were only that 100 points given by the sect right from the start.
They simply could not acquire a source for points. Even if they went to do sect mission, they could only choose those missions that had very low point rewards; at most several hundred points.
And to these outer-sect disciples, the difficulty was not an ordinary kind of great. Many people would lose their lives during the missions.
Even if they obtained several hundred points after completing the mission, it was also impossible for them to bear to use them on A-grade cultivation rooms.
