C384 Trouble
Chen Yu had already been away from home for close to three years. Although he had received news about his home and Chen Family Castle from Su Guan before ascending the Heaven Stairway, Chen Yu still had some worries in his heart.
After all, Su Guan's Minglan City was something that happened more than a year ago.
Furthermore, Chen Yu had considered one point, which was that once the news of him being punished in the Punishment Tower was spread back to his Minglan City, the consequences would be extremely hard to predict.
The cruelty of Punishment Tower was known to all. Because of this, Chen Yu was unable to predict the reaction of Su Family after hearing this news. Perhaps, when he was certain that he would not be able to come out of the Punishment Tower alive, the attitude of Su Family towards Chen Family Castle would change.
If he didn't go back to take a look, he would be able to resolve his worries. In the end, Chen Yu couldn't feel at ease.
"Chen Martial Nephew, this is the trading hall that belongs to the main peak's chore house. Here, you can use contribution points to exchange for anything you want, or you can sell whatever you have in your hands!" The Single Elder stood outside a grand and imposing building as he introduced to Chen Yu.
"Thank you for bringing your disciple here, Senior Master!" Chen Yu thanked him.
"Go, I'll go meet up with my Principal Peak Clan friends for a while. Four hours later, meet us on the Cloud climbing platform. I'll bring you to Thousand Feathers Peak, and send you from there to Mount Li!"
"Alright!" Chen Yu nodded. He walked into the crowd and entered the trading hall.
Originally, the Different Peaks Veins all had a similar trading ground, where disciples could use contribution points to exchange for various things. The trading area of the Different Peaks Veins usually had quite a bit of preferential treatment for the disciples of this peak.
However, the Polar Extreme Peak had long since declined and there was no longer a need for the chore house to exist. Chen Yu had actually come to the main peak to take some things home.
As he walked into the hall, he looked around. The entire hall was filled with counters, and behind each counter was a dazzling array of items. Many disciples were gathered in front of the counters, forming a long line.
Chen Yu quickly found a counter that could exchange for low level Medicine Pill and weapons.
In the inner sect of the Ruling Spirit Sect, disciples naturally also needed to exchange for low level Medicine Pill and True Artifacts for their relatives, so it was not strange for them to have such a counter.
Behind the counter, there was a female disciple with the strength at the ninth level of Heavenly Astral Stage. She should be a Outer Sect disciple.
Chen Yu looked at the types of Medicine Pill and their authentic equipment on the counter. After looking for a while, he was surprised to find that the price wasn't high.
An Inferior Grade True Weapon would cost around eighty to ninety Contribution Points, while a Upper Grade True Artifact would only need around two to three hundred Contribution Points. This was a bit cheaper than the Outer Sect.
Moreover, the price of a second rank Medicine Pill was not high, it only required ten contribution points to exchange for one. Compared to a third rank Medicine Pill, it was not too cheap.
Chen Yu had three thousand contribution points from the single elder last time. Adding the remaining one thousand and three hundred contribution points from Outer Sect, he had a total of four thousand and three hundred points. He bought fifteen bottles of Tier 2 pills and five Upper Grade True Artifact.
Chen Yu realized that even though the price of a Tier 2 pill was low, he couldn't help but spend contribution points.
To an inner disciple, the three thousand contribution points given by the Polar Extreme Peak was not enough to completely satisfy the needs of cultivation. Furthermore, these three thousand contribution points were only a portion of the Polar Extreme Peak!
It was no wonder that many inner sect disciples had to complete sect missions. If they wanted to have sufficient resources, the resources allocated to them would be far from enough.
Having lost contribution points, Chen Yu no longer had any plans to exchange the true weapons he acquired in the secret realm for contribution points. He packed up his stuff and prepared to leave.
"Senior Brother Chen, what a coincidence!" At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Chen Yu turned his head and saw a handsome young man wearing a green robe. However, he had a gloomy aura around him.
This man, Chen Yu, looked a little familiar. He remembered that he was one of the new inner disciples, but he couldn't remember the name.
"When I was climbing the Sky Stairway, I was ranked 18th. Senior Brother Chen probably won't remember my name, I'm called Zhang Qian!" The young man said with a smile, "A talent like Senior Brother Chen, who could even suppress Senior Disciple Li, will definitely not remember a nobody like me!"
"What's the matter?" Chen Yu asked lightly.
"Nothing, I just met Senior Brother Chen and came over to greet him!" Zhang Qian's expression was slightly stifled as he spoke in a muffled voice.
Chen Yu frowned when he heard that and said coldly, "Since it's alright, then excuse me!"
With that, Chen Yu strode towards the door.
Zhang Qian's expression immediately turned cold. Looking at Chen Yu's back, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. Then, he took out his identity badge, threw it at the Outer Sect disciple behind the counter, and asked in a deep voice: "What did Chen Yu exchange for here?"
After the Outer Sect female disciple saw the identity badge, she revealed a cautious expression and said: "It's just quite a few second rank Medicine Pill and Upper Grade True Artifact!"
"Is that so?" Zhang Qian pondered for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up as he instructed the female disciple, "Don't mention this matter to anyone else!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left the hall and headed towards the Cloud Stepping Platform halfway up the mountain.
Chen Yu didn't take Zhang Qian to heart. With his current experience, he was able to see through the hypocritical and ungrateful nature of Zhang Qian with a glance, so he didn't bother to be perfunctory.
In this batch of new inner court disciples, there were only a few people who had good intentions towards Chen Yu, and Zhang Qian was absolutely not one of them.
As there was still quite a bit of time, Chen Yu strolled around the main peak again.
Compared to the desolation of the Polar Extreme Peak, the main peak could be said to be extremely flourishing. Not only would the main peak disciples appear, the disciples of many other mountain ranges would also come here to receive missions and trade for various resources.
Half an hour later, Chen Yu headed to the cloud climbing platform.
The thirty-six peaks occupied a vast expanse of land, the distance between them was very far, the elder-level characters could fly in the air, the attendants and disciples could not do it, if something happened between the Different Peaks, they had to ride a flying beast, or else they would only have to walk, and if a martial artist's legs were fast, he would not be able to go back and forth between the main peak and the mountain range.
The main peak was located at least halfway up the mountain and was forbidden from flying, which was why a place like the Cloud Stepping Platform was set up.
When they arrived at the escalating platform, the Single Elder hadn't arrived yet, so Chen Yu could only wait there.
Birds were constantly flying up and down the platform, just like the docks in the secular world. It was bustling with noise and excitement. Chen Yu was dressed in the robe of an inner sect disciple with Polar Extreme Peak, and did not attract much attention, until a flying Spiritual Crane landed and a few figures jumped down. One of them looked curiously at the Cloud Dancing Platform, and his gaze fell on Chen Yu.
All of a sudden, the few people who were walking down from the flying Spiritual Crane all looked at Chen Yu. Several of them had malicious expressions on their faces.
Feeling these gazes, Chen Yu glanced over and recognized the person who found him first. He sighed inwardly at the unexpected arrival of trouble.
However, Chen Yu's expression remained indifferent.
"Isn't this the trash genius Chen Yu whom the Polar Extreme Peak has high hopes for?" Those few people came close, and one of them spoke in a weird tone, and said loudly: "I heard that you have been cultivating Polar Extreme Peak's Black Star Art for one month, without any progress. That old guy Luo Xing has turned green, haha!"
"Pitiful Falling Star has offended at least a dozen clans for a piece of trash like you, but in the end, he obtained such a result. Haha, it really makes me laugh my teeth out!" Another person mocked.
"Since Elder Fallen Star has become so dizzy, there is no longer any need for your Polar Extreme Peak branch to continue existing!" Another third level Spirit Accumulation Stage practitioner sneered, then turned to the person who noticed Chen Yu first and said: "Junior brother Zong Qing, last time that old guy from Fallen Star attacked you without caring about face, this time is the perfect opportunity to teach that old guy a lesson, and teach him a lesson so that he can vent his anger. What do you think?"
"Alright then!" The warrior who noticed Chen Yu first gritted his teeth and said, "However, this is the main peak, so we are afraid that the law enforcement disciples will step in!"
"The inner sect can't help but spar. As long as both sides nod their heads, then a fair duel will be allowed. The law enforcement disciples won't stop it either!" The third level Spirit Accumulation Stage warrior said, "How about Polar Extreme Peak trash? Do you dare to fight with Zong Qing and his junior brother?"
Chen Yu's gaze fell on Zong Qing's face and a trace of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to afford to lose!"
These few people were Dragon Head Peak disciples, and Zong Qing should have a deep relationship with Dragon Head Peak Elder Zong Yan. The last time Zong Yan was expelled by Falling Star Immortal with the Star Ruler, he left Polar Extreme Peak with his tail between his legs. Zong Qing's face became ashen, obviously still holding a grudge.
"What a joke, we can't afford to lose? It's as easy as flipping my hand to take care of trash like you! " Zong Qing said angrily: "Do you dare or not, trash of the Polar Extreme Peak?"
"I'm just afraid that if I hit the small one, the big one will attack again. I can't defend against a group of mad dogs by myself! " Chen Yu said coldly.
Being called a mad dog by Chen Yu, the disciples of Dragon Head Peak were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood and began to curse loudly.
Some of the main peak disciples who heard Chen Yu's words couldn't help but smile.
"Junior brother, don't worry. If it's a fair duel, regardless of what happens to us, our Principal Peak Clan disciples will not sit idly by and watch them attack you!" Some of the onlookers were also people with good intentions. After they shouted out, the other onlookers echoed in agreement.
Zong Qing said coldly, "Don't worry, Chen Yu. I will beat you up like a dead dog." To deal with you, there is no need for my seniors to do anything! "
"Who knows?" Chen Yu shrugged and said casually, "Even if you guys don't attack together, when another person dares to challenge me, should I fight with him or not?"
"You!" The Spirit Accumulation Stage warrior said angrily, "Don't worry. No matter who wins or loses, we will not attack you again today. With so many fellow apprentices watching, are you afraid that we will go back on our words? "
"If you don't dare, you don't dare. What are you blabbering about?" Another Dragon Head Peak disciple at the first level of the Spirit Accumulation Stage scolded.
"Alright, I have nothing better to do." Fine, I have nothing to do. Zong Qing, right? Come at me! " After using his words to mock Zong Qing, Chen Yu finally opened his mouth and extended his hand to hook his finger.
"Die!" Zong Qing had already lost his patience. At this moment, he took a step forward and punched.
The punch was as powerful as a landslide. The shadow of a Ash Wolf appeared, causing the punch to contain a terrifying might.
The sky started to crumble from the punch, and a rumbling sound spread throughout the space. A huge power started pouring down in torrents.
In terms of strength, Zong Qing's Dragon Head Peak was not something Zhou Hong could compare to. Although Zong Qing was also only at the ninth level of Heavenly Astral Stage and had yet to gather his spirit, it had already been more than two years since he had merged with a Spiritual Soul.
"A middle grade earth-step Iron Back Wolf Spiritual Soul, this Spiritual Soul's attack power is said to be very strong!" Those onlookers with good eyesight were already able to see the rank of the Spiritual Soul.
