Chapter 34: Fao!
Fatty bea Hao to become an Inner Sect disciple was aluan Xiu stood in the crowd, face grim After a bit of time passed, he lowered his head, turned, and left As he left, his face grew darker, but there was really nothing he could do Now that Meng Hao was a ive hi Hao was a true member of the Reliance Sect
“I reached the seventh level of Qi condensation before I was thirty I was the nuuan Xiu sighed He was loath to give up, but had no choice
Just then, souan Xiu nor Grand Elder Ouyang Not even Sect Leader He Luohua Far away from the Reliance Sect, on the peak of the tree-covered blackoutside of the eure
The figure was indistinct, its face unclear But its body reathed in an aura vastly different from the spiritual power of heaven and earth, an aura that actually seemed to have been rejected by the Heavens The wind around the figure changed, filling with indistinct cracks that circled around him… and yet an onlooker would not be able to see any of this
“Reliance Sect… what a vulgar naure’s voice was hoarse as it spoke, filled with a Deed one thousand years ago to prevent the Heavens fro reincarnation But it is still… The De sect actually dared to consuacy… interesting It seems it was not in vain that I helped you those two times” Even as its voice continued to echo out, bolts of red lightning began to fall The destructive lightning fell over and over again, but it was over three thousand ure
The red figure seemed to frown, then looked up coldly into the sky “Sooner or later, you shall be defied, Heavens!” Then it turned toward the Southern Domain and took a step forward
“My true self has been sluhout heaven and earth What I’ve just seen is interesting Very interesting” Laughter rang out, and the figure disappeared, gone in the blink of an eye
The figure’s arrival and departure, the roiling heavens, the approach of the lightning, onlookers could not see any of it!
Time raced by, and soon seven days had passed
During the seven days, everyone in the Outer Sect was talking about Meng Hao’s ascension to becoh everyone had seen the event with their own eyes, it had left the passed, they would often lift their heads to gaze at the East Mountain, eyes filled with envy
There were sofei, but they didn’t say anything It was as if after the battle, wang Tengfei’s na of the past
Disciples who had been Meng Hao’s enemies were evenHao was no longer present in the Outer Sect, so all they could do was find Fatty to fawn over
Fatty’s prestige exploded in just a few days He was the new shop owner at the Low-Level Public Zone, having taken over for Meng Hao He revelled in the attention of his fellow disciples, filing away at his teeth triumphantly He was even able to move into one of the nicer residences in the Outer Sect
Meng Hao was quite busy during the seven days The Reliance Sect ht have been in decline, but there were still rules to follow Meng Hao bathed and donned new clothes He koed to the ie of Patriarch Reliance and the other Patriarchs of the Sect Of course, there were many complicated procedures and details involved in all of this
During this time, he didn’t see Elder Sister Xu at all, as she had secluded herself in meditation However, he did see Elder Brother Chen Fan [1 Chen Fan's name in Chinese is 陈凡 (chén fán) – Chen is a common family name Fan means “mortal” or “ordinary”], dressed in his silver robe Fro Hao’s impression of him was that he rarely s to know him he found that no matter what question he had, Elder Brother Chen would patiently give a detailed explanation Meng Hao actually liked hiht back to the rumors he’d heard, that Elder Brother Chen Fan cared only about righteousness and the Dao, ignoring matters of the mortal world
After the seven days had passed, Meng Hao was granted an Inner Sect I bubbled with thick Spiritual Energy, much more so than his previous Ied a bit the first time he laid hands on the Spirit Stones and medicinal pills available for Inner Sect disciples He stood there, staring down at them stupidly
These Spirit Stones were clearly better than the ones available in the Outer Sect They were larger, and were not completely transparent, but rather filled with an indistinct, rew pale
“These areHao “And Inner Sect disciples get one per year… It’s worth one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones from the Outer Sect…” His head spun as he absorbed the information from the ancient piece of jade in front of him, which described the identification methods and differences between the different types of Spirit Stones available to Cultivators engaged in Qi condensation
“Above rade Spirit Stones… which don’t even exist in the State of Zhao One of those is worth at least ten-thousand low-grade Spirit Stones… they’re basically priceless” Meng Hao’s insides twisted, and he took out the few large Spirit Stones he had left in his bag of holding His face looked htly
“You can tell the value of a Spirit Stone by looking at its size and its internal coest, and are at least half-covered inside with thick y inside won’t leak out, and can only be used by a Cultivator who has reached Foundation Establish Hao looked er than a rade Spirit Stone by at least three times, and was al, and not a drop of Spiritual Energy erade Spirit Stone! I… I squandered two thousand high-grade Spirit Stones!” Meng Hao’s heart dropped, and he tried to coht about the extraordinary wooden sword and how ht about the price he had paid the copper mirror to duplicate it He simply couldn’t comprehend the price he had paid in Spirit Stones…
“But how coer than the descriptions of high-grade Spirit Stones, and has even more mist formations inside?” His heart quavered, and he didn’t dare to think about it anymore His face was pale, and he felt pained to the core
It took hiet control of himself, whereupon he put away the Spirit Stones
“An insignificant two thousand high-grade Spirit Stones,”at all” But when he said the word ‘insignificant,’ it sounded a bit forced
