Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Blood Bodhi. In the corridor on the second floor of Cloud Xuan Pavilion, a middle-aged man, seething with rage, was berating Wei Daxun in an infuriated voice.
“You bastards, what in the world are you doing?!” As the voice boomed, a figure rushed down the stairs of Cloud Xuan Pavilion.
“Boom!”
Then, Yun Feiyan slapped Deacon Gu hard across the face, sending him flying down the stairwell.
“Pavilion Master!” Deacon Gu’s body slammed onto the ground, his face contorted in fear, blood trickling from his mouth. He couldn’t understand what he had done wrong.
At this moment, Wei Daxun and Wei Xing were both forced back several steps by Yun Feiyan’s overwhelming Aura.
The fury raging in Yun Feiyan’s chest was beyond control. He didn’t want to resort to such violence, but he simply couldn’t hold back.
The moment Yun Feiyan emerged and saw the situation, he immediately rushed over, especially after witnessing Qin Yefeng being blocked from entering the pavilion and being told he wasn’t qualified to enter Cloud Xuan Pavilion.
Yun Feiyan’s heart ached as if it were bleeding; he even harbored thoughts of killing Deacon Gu.
“You dog!” Seeing Deacon Gu sprawled in the stairwell, Yun Feiyan’s rage still hadn’t subsided. He rushed down and delivered a fierce kick to the Deacon’s chest.
“Boom!”
With a tremendous crash, Deacon Gu’s body directly knocked into Wei Daxun, and it was Wei Xing who managed to steady both of them.
“Today, you committed an unforgivable error against Cloud Xuan Pavilion. From this day forward, Deacon Gu, Cloud Xuan Pavilion no longer welcomes you. Get out of Cloud Xuan Pavilion, and after this, I will personally impeach you before the Dean.”
As Yun Feiyan’s voice echoed, the Students downstairs were filled with utter shock.
“What in the world is going on? Don’t these higher-ups usually protect each other? Why are they tearing each other apart today?”
“No matter how capable Deacon Gu is, he’s still just a minor Deacon of Holy Sun Academy. And no matter how Yun Feiyan seems, he’s ultimately a member of the Holy Sun Sect, and this is Cloud Xuan Pavilion. Who wouldn’t listen to Yun Feiyan here?”
“This is truly exciting! That Deacon Gu usually takes bribes and targets others, but this time he’s hit a tough spot. It serves him right that he won’t be able to continue as a Deacon at Holy Sun Academy. His future is completely ruined!”
All the staff members below Cloud Xuan Pavilion watched Deacon Gu on the ground with astonishment, their eyes reflecting a sorrowful empathy, like a fox mourning the death of a rabbit.
Meanwhile, Deacon Gu, his eyes filled with lingering fear, scrambled and crawled across the ground to Yun Feiyan’s feet, shedding tears of regret. “Pavilion Master, I was wrong, I truly was! Please, I beg you, give me another chance, at least a chance to atone for my mistakes!”
At this, Yun Feiyan let out a cold snort, completely ignoring the pleading Deacon Gu. Indeed, pitiful people often have hateful aspects.
Afterward, Yun Feiyan looked at Wei Daxun and Wei Xing on the second floor and declared with a chilling, sharp voice, “From now on, you two are enemies of Cloud Xuan Pavilion. Do not set foot in our Cloud Xuan Pavilion again, or we will have no choice but to throw you out!”
“Pavilion Master Yun, what exactly do you mean by this?!” Wei Daxun dared not speak, but Wei Xing stepped forward and questioned.
But in the very next breath, Yun Feiyan’s True Essence Power erupted, forcefully repelling him.
“What’s wrong? Do you think I need a mere fledgling like you to tell me how to conduct my affairs?” Yun Feiyan said with utter indifference.
Wei Xing’s face flushed crimson with anger, his facial muscles twitching, but then he seemed to recall something terrifying and forcibly suppressed his fury.
“Let’s go!” Wei Xing said to those beside him.
At this, Wei Daxun, as if granted bail, hastily followed behind Wei Xing, not daring to linger for another second!
Yet, what happened in that very moment left Wei Daxun, Wei Xing, and the others utterly bewildered.
“Greetings, Young Master Qin Yefeng. Those fellows were merely relying on their status at Holy Sun Academy, and they offended you. Please, don’t take it to heart; just consider them a fart!”
Yun Feiyan, who had just been in a furious rage, was now speaking to Qin Yefeng in such a polite and gentle manner.
“What exactly is Qin Yefeng’s background? Why is Yun Feiyan, a member of the Holy Sun Sect, treating him with such respect? Or does Qin Yefeng have some powerful backing?”
“Could it be that Yun Feiyan believes Qin Yefeng is stronger than Xue Li and Wei Xing, and that he can win in this Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition, then rise swiftly through the ranks of the Holy Sun Sect, and in turn, pull Yun Feiyan up with him?”
On the first floor of Cloud Xuan Pavilion, the Students, seeing Yun Feiyan’s respectful demeanor towards Qin Yefeng, began to whisper amongst themselves.
“It’s nothing. Take me to Zi Baiying.” Qin Yefeng smiled faintly, not taking the previous incident to heart at all.
Afterward, Qin Yefeng followed Yun Feiyan to a private room, where he found Zi Baiying waiting for him.
“Why are you so slow? I’ve already bought everything.” Zi Baiying said with a somewhat cold expression and an annoyed tone.
“Well, I ran into a bit of an unpleasant situation, which is why I’m a little late for our appointed time,” Qin Yefeng explained to Zi Baiying.
“Esteemed guests Qin Yefeng and Zi Baiying, since Young Master Qin Yefeng encountered an unpleasant incident upon arriving at Cloud Xuan Pavilion, I will offer you a fifty percent discount. Everything you purchase today—items, medicinal pills, Cultivation Techniques, and pets—will be half price!” Yun Feiyan immediately interjected to smooth things over.
“That’s not bad.” Only then did Zi Baiying’s expression slowly regain its cheerfulness.
Afterward, accompanied by Zi Baiying, Qin Yefeng surveyed the entire second floor of Cloud Xuan Pavilion and selected the items most suitable for him.
All of this was in preparation for the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition scheduled for tomorrow.
“Oh, isn’t this the pauper Qin Yefeng? How did you manage to get Pavilion Master Yun to give you a fifty percent discount when you have no money?” Xue Li mocked Qin Yefeng the moment he stepped onto the second floor of Cloud Xuan Pavilion, followed by a group of lackeys roaring with laughter.
Qin Yefeng frowned slightly but ignored Xue Li.
Zi Baiying, however, couldn’t swallow her anger and wanted to argue with Xue Li.
“These are just a bunch of people who followed the scent of trouble. There’s no need to waste words on them,” Qin Yefeng said with a smile to Zi Baiying.
“You brat, who are you calling a dog?” Xue Li snapped, his voice sharp.
But Qin Yefeng paid him no mind, continuing to shop with Zi Baiying, choosing to completely ignore Xue Li.
Qin Yefeng and Zi Baiying approached a bottle of Great Rejuvenation Pills, seeing that they cost five hundred Spirit Stones. Just as Qin Yefeng was about to take out his Spirit Stones to buy them,
Xue Li stepped in front of Qin Yefeng. “Pavilion Master Yun, how many bottles of Great Rejuvenation Pills do you have in Cloud Xuan Pavilion? I, Xue Li, will buy them all.”
“This…” Yun Feiyan was momentarily indecisive. He glanced at Qin Yefeng, whose expression remained calm, indicating that Qin Yefeng wasn’t particularly set on buying the Great Rejuvenation Pills. Only then did Yun Feiyan say with relief, “We have eleven bottles in our pavilion.”
Xue Li, feigning generosity in front of Qin Yefeng, said, “Pavilion Master Yun, I’ll take all eleven bottles of Great Rejuvenation Pills. Each bottle is five hundred Spirit Stones, so for eleven bottles, I’ll pay you six thousand Spirit Stones. Is that acceptable? The remaining five hundred Spirit Stones can be considered a tip for Cloud Xuan Pavilion; I, your esteemed master, have plenty of Spirit Stones.”
“Young Master Qin Yefeng was the first to show interest in these. I cannot decide to sell them all to you, Young Master Xue. My apologies,” Yun Feiyan said, cupping his fists towards Xue Li.
“It’s no big deal, Pavilion Master Yun. If Xue Li enjoys getting injured and consuming Great Rejuvenation Pills so much, then let him have his fill. I don’t mind at all,” Qin Yefeng said with a smile.
“Hmph, you penniless pauper, still trying to show off here! In Cloud Xuan Pavilion, anything you try to buy, I’ll pay double the Spirit Stones for! Let’s see what you can get!” Xue Li challenged.
Qin Yefeng merely smiled faintly, not refuting Xue Li’s words, and continued to browse the items in Cloud Xuan Pavilion with Zi Baiying.
This only emboldened Xue Li and his lackeys to mock Qin Yefeng as a pauper even more brazenly.
“Shouldn’t you retort a few words?” Zi Baiying whispered to Qin Yefeng.
“If a dog bites you, do you bite it back? Just find an opportunity to beat it to death. Besides, whether I’m poor or not isn’t up to him to decide,” Qin Yefeng replied.
When Qin Yefeng saw a Cosmic Compass Spirit Gathering Formation, and read its description—that it could gather Spiritual Qi from a thousand-meter radius to its center—he was intrigued.
“This Cosmic Compass Spirit Gathering Formation requires two hundred thousand Spirit Stones! Even I don’t have that many Spirit Stones to buy it. How could a pauper like you afford it?” Xue Li scoffed again, stepping forward.
“He’s deliberately showing interest in expensive items to trick my boss into spending Spirit Stones on them! In reality, you don’t have the money for this Spirit Gathering Formation at all!”
“Qin Yefeng, stop acting! You came from a small Blackstone City, and even if you’re from a family, it’s a minor one. How rich could you possibly be?”
At Xue Li’s signal, his lackeys behind him began to mock Qin Yefeng in various ways.
“I indeed don’t have that many Spirit Stones,” Qin Yefeng said with a smile.
As soon as Qin Yefeng uttered those words, Xue Li and his group of lackeys behind him burst into even louder laughter.
“However, I still want to purchase this Cosmic Compass Spirit Gathering Formation. Pavilion Master Yun, I wonder if you accept Blood Bodhi here?” Qin Yefeng took out a fruit as vibrant red as blood from his Storage Bag.
“It truly is a Blood Bodhi! A Blood Bodhi that can greatly enhance fire-attribute Spiritual Power and resist it! Young Master Qin actually possesses such a rare and extraordinary fruit. I, Yun Feiyan, am truly impressed!” Yun Feiyan exclaimed, looking at the fruit in Qin Yefeng’s hand with astonishment.
“I wonder how many Spirit Stones this Blood Bodhi is worth?” Qin Yefeng asked casually.
“What? Young Master Qin Yefeng is actually willing to part with this Blood Bodhi? Then I will offer five hundred thousand Spirit Stones for it. I hope Young Master Qin isn’t reluctant?” Yun Feiyan said cautiously.
“Very well, then I’ll purchase this Cosmic Compass Spirit Gathering Formation. The remaining Spirit Stones can be used to pay for other items I’ve bought in your Cloud Xuan Pavilion,” Qin Yefeng said with a smile.
“This…” Xue Li and his lackeys were utterly dumbfounded and shocked by this scene, rendered speechless.
After Qin Yefeng and Zi Baiying had found and purchased some items, they parted ways at the academy’s dormitory room entrance.
Along the way, they discussed many things about the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition. Entering the Secret Realm of the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition was a random teleportation, so they didn’t know if they would encounter each other.
“On the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition path, for the token competition, ten tokens are enough for one person to advance. The more tokens one possesses, the higher their ranking on the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition path. Therefore, we need to meet up and combine our combat strength to seize more tokens,” Qin Yefeng said.
“That’s true, but many Holy Sun Academy Students will participate in the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition path. Everyone who can enter the Secret Realm is an exceptional prodigy. If it truly comes down to it, we can contribute our tokens to help the person who needs them most to enter the Holy Sun Sect,” Zi Baiying stated.
“That situation won’t arise. I believe we will definitely shine brightly on the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition path within the Secret Realm and seize many tokens! Trust me,” Qin Yefeng said firmly, clenching his fist.
“Qin Yefeng, I trust you. If I’m in danger within the Secret Realm, will you save me?” Zi Baiying asked, her eyes wide, gazing at Qin Yefeng’s face.
