Chapter 367: 365. Biyue Yi, Wealthy and Arrogant (2/4)
Of course, selling Vortex Maps to make money is a good thing.
A single Vortex Map sells for a considerable amount of White Crystal, but this also brings quite a bit of trouble. When Lu Hai spoke to him about it, he didn’t make any promises, including convincing Wen Ping.
He just said he would definitely give an answer in seven days.
To prevent Lu Hai from discovering his destination, he deliberately took a detour around Zimo Lake.
When he arrived in Cangwu City, it was already the seventh day after setting out!
At this moment, Wen Ping was supervising his disciples in the Wind Valley, overseeing their trials in Wind Binding.
Due to the competition, no one would waste the opportunity to enter Wind Valley twice. The timing was staggered, so counting the two people, seven days had already increased Wen Ping’s task progress by more than two hundred.
Adding the previous fifty or so, only a little over two hundred more are needed to complete the side quest. At most another seven days, and the side quest can be completed assuredly — he’s not in a hurry to break into the trial for Wind Binding for the task.
In the past few days, few have been able to break through the first stone gate’s binding, only six or seven individuals. Some have relied on the power of the Red Stones to get through, and those relying on the Red Stones are already breaking through the binding of the second stone gate.
Because Wen Ping stipulated that one person could only stay for two hours a day, no one had time to collect Red Stones, so those who originally had Red Stones naturally had a great advantage.
However, like Zhao Yi and others, they only broke through the stone gate to get Wind Binding Skill. The remaining hour of the Tornado trial, he used to search for Red Stones. Back and forth, he kept up with those who originally possessed Red Stones.
Meanwhile, the Hurricane Skill trial is also progressing, with Zhantian Qingxuan being the one to dissipate the most tornadoes, having dispelled as many as five — already more than a third of the total.
Following him are Yu Mo, Yun Liao, and Qin Shan.
However, the three of them had remarkable results at the stone gate, being the first group to pass the first stone gate.
Then there’s Biyue Yi, who gradually adapted to life in the Immortal Sect seven days after joining and is also participating in the competition. Especially after knowing what the Fire Rod was, he became so excited and became the second person to collect Red Stones.
He was more skillful than Zhantian Qingxuan, offering one Red Stone for five White Crystal. But now, no one is willing to sell Red Stones.
"Senior Brother Zhao Yi, just sell me one," outside Wind Valley, Biyue Yi pestering Zhao Yi.
Because Zhao Yi had two Red Stones.
"I want to keep them for my own use." The binding of that stone gate is strong, and his willpower is lacking, so he must use Red Stones as aid. Although he is the weakest in the sect aside from Biyue Yi, one must hold onto dreams.
Biyue Yi still persisted, "I offer 5 White Crystal, I want to unlock that Hurricane Skill."
It’s a Profound Level Upper Vein Technique!
He’s heard from his grandfather before that such things only appear in stories. Without exaggeration, no one in the Biyue Family had ever seen it. Reportedly, over the years, the Level A auction house in Cloud Sea City, known as the trading capital, auctioned the highest-grade vein technique, which was only a Profound Level Middle Grade vein technique.
But now, in the sect with just a bit of White Crystal, one can touch the legendary existence.
He simply couldn’t control himself.
Outside Wind Valley, aside from him, there were actually five or six people lining up, waiting for those inside to come out before they enter.
Among them was Yang Lele.
"Alright, Junior Brother Biyue, what’s the rush? That Hurricane Skill, even if you unlock it now, you can’t use it; you should break through the stone gate first and then cultivate in the Gravity Field. Your current realm really pales in comparison in the sect,"
As the senior disciple, Yang Lele enjoyed instructing his junior brother.
"Well, said like that, but I can’t control myself," Biyue Yi gave a helpless smile, shrugging helplessly.
At this time, Wen Ping emerged from Wind Valley.
"Sect Leader, how is Junior Brother Lin Kewu doing now?" Yang Lele was the first to ask while standing there.
Because it was currently Lin Kewu inside.
"He’s about to break free from the binding of the first stone gate." He saw Lin Kewu’s hands able to move when he came, relying on a powerful will to struggle free, possibly breaking through the binding at any moment.
Having said that, Wen Ping stepped away.
"Oh... Sect Leader, take care." Yang Lele then quickly said to Yang Xi behind him, "The binding of the stone gate is entirely reliant on willpower to break free, so, Yang Xi... you’re lacking in willpower, I’m older than you, consider me your brother, quickly give me your Red Stone; when I acquire the Fire Rod, I’ll let you borrow to play."
"No." Yang Xi refused decisively, then tugged on Zhao Qing’s hand beside her, saying in a crying voice, "Sister Zhao Qing, look at him, bullying me... Yang Lele is shameless, I only have one Red Stone."
"Who’s bullying you?" Yang Lele turned around speechlessly.
He was bewildered; since when did Yang Xi and Zhao Qing become sisters?
Weren’t they fighting upon meeting before?
"Senior Sister, sell it to me, five White Crystal!"
Biyue Yi seized the opportunity!
"Alright."
Yang Xi directly handed over the Red Stone, which was packed in a Jade Box.
"Ah..." Yang Lele almost sprayed a mouthful of blood.
...
At the foot of Yunlan Mountain.
Ji Liangping entered Cangwu City and went up Yunlan Mountain unhindered.
"Old dude, where’s Sect Leader Wen?" Upon ascending, he saw the sweeping Wang Bo, but Wang Bo didn’t even glance at him. Not seeing anyone else, he, being an outsider, dared not meddle in Immortal Sect.
"Don’t call me old dude, I’m not an old dude—" Wang Bo’s latter words were interrupted by Wen Ping coming from the Main Hall.
"Wang Bo, there’s nothing for you here now." Wen Ping, worried he might mishear, added a waving hand gesture.
"Oh."
Wang Bo took the broom and walked away.
"Sect Leader Wen, I apologize for coming uninvited once more." Ji Liangping clasped his hands, then followed Wen Ping’s steps into the Main Hall. At its topmost layer, he found a room that overlooked Cangwu City and sat down.
Wen Ping responded with a smile, "Principal Ji, turns out being a principal is so leisurely; you can come by every three days or so."
"Hehe." Ji Liangping responded with an awkward smile.
Leisurely?
How could it be leisurely?
But if he didn’t come, there’s no way he’d explain to Cloud Sea City; who asked him to boast about being familiar with the Immortal Sect Leader before?
Ji Liangping continued, "Sect Leader Wen, actually, coming to you, I have something to discuss."
"Go ahead." Indeed, no one comes without a reason.
"A few days ago, Lu Hai, the Deputy City Lord of Cloud Sea City, found me, hoping you could create another Two-Star Vortex Map. It could be Wind Attribute Anomaly Vein or possess Accessories ability." He thought it best not to mention the Four-star Sect at this time, as Wen Ping was the type who jumps higher when pressured.
"Isn’t the month’s period not up yet?" Wen Ping questioned.
Ji Liangping continued, "Sect Leader Wen, wouldn’t it be foolish not to earn the White Crystal handed to us? This time, the price for the Vortex Map will definitely exceed last time. Whether it’s Accessories or Anomalous Vein, they are offering 2000 White Crystal."
indeed!
This amount can already buy three Two-Star Vortex Maps.
Used for other purposes, it could even forge a Three-star Influence with so much White Crystal.
