The Great Wild God - Chapter 204
Chapter 204 Qingyun Spectrum
(Chang Xi’s notoriety is not without its benefits. At the very least, the disciples of Cuiwei Lake can’t be bullied by anyone.
Facing the sword intent killing intent condensed at the tip of Gu Chengzhuo’s eyebrows, Chen Xunyi was not afraid and said,
“Senior Brothers, the disciples of Laughing Cuiwei Lake were all poor. I just told Senior Brothers Gu to know that 20,000 jin of Crimson Black Gold is nothing to me …”
Chen Xun put on the face of an upstart, and the moment he said those words, the restaurant was in an uproar.
Seeing that a mere outer sect disciple was actually so arrogant in the Divine Night Sect, not to mention Gu Chengzhuo, even the other disciples who were watching the show couldn’t bear to watch.
Although Gu Chengzhuo hadn’t advanced to the Heaven Origin Realm and wasn’t a direct disciple, as the son of Gu Wenzhen, his status in the Divine Night Sect wasn’t lower than that of a direct disciple. He was actually teased by a small outer sect disciple. No one could help but sigh.
Cowardly disciples couldn’t help but walk down the stairs at this moment. They really didn’t know if Gu Chengzhuo would tear down the building if he suddenly attacked.
Gu Chengzhuo didn’t hide the fury of thunder in his eyes and ruthlessly sliced Lei Wanhe’s eyes. He thought indeterminately, could it be that Lei Wanhe deliberately brought this person over to embarrass him?
Looking at Gu Chengzhuo’s sinister eyes, Lei Wanhe was already scared out of his wits.
Gu Chengzhuo’s nature was not evil, but he was the son of Gu Wenzhen. If he really wanted to ruthlessly kill one or two outer sect disciples, the Divine Night Sect might not do anything to him.
Looking at Chen Xun’s nouveau riche face, Lei Wanhe screamed miserably in his heart, “Grandpa, what are you doing? Lift up Gu Chengzhuo’s fire. He can’t do anything to you for a moment. If this fire is thrown on me, I’ll have to peel off my skin even if I don’t die this time!”
Lei Wanhe hurriedly pleaded with Chen Xun and said, “Junior Brother Chen, lend me these two ingots of Crimson Black Gold and I will definitely repay them double in the future!”
Hearing Lei Wanhe’s words, Gu Chengzhuo also remained silent, his gaze revolving around Chen Xun and him.
Lei Wanhe knew all about it. Originally, he was an outer disciple of the Heavenly Punishment Peak. His aptitude was pretty good. He had never thought that before he moved to Cuiwei Lake, he would actually dare to use a shoddy magical artifact to trick him and the other disciples of the Heavenly Punishment Peak. This was already extremely hateful to the bones. As for this Cuiwei Peak outer sect disciple in front of him, he couldn’t figure out his origin for a moment.
Not to mention 20,000 jin of scarlet black gold, even Chen Xunli’s spatial ring was something few inner sect disciples could possess.
There was a bustle to see here, and many disciples ran upstairs to watch. The staircase entrance was packed to the brim, and many people floated out of the window and looked inside.
Chen Xun did not have the consciousness to speak rudely in front of Gu Chengzhuo as an outer sect disciple, but if he could lend these two ingots of scarlet black gold to Lei Wanhe and settle the old grudge between Lei Wanhe and Gu Chengzhuo, everyone felt that they could barely accept it.
Chen Xun narrowed his eyes and asked Lei Wanhe with a smile,
“Senior Brother Lei, tell me honestly, what is the value of this shield?”
“Ah?” Lei Wanhe was stunned for a moment before he understood in the blink of an eye. Only then did he realize that this Junior Brother Chen, who normally stayed in closed doors, was truly a formidable figure. He clearly liked this magic shield, but he did not want to suffer any losses. Only then did he intentionally arouse Gu Chengzhuo’s anger.
Lei Wanhe found it hard to get down on his tiger, so he could only say with a sad face, “Twenty thousand jin is not worth it, ten thousand jin is worth it. Take this shield away, Junior Brother Chen, and I’ll lend you the remaining ten thousand jin of Crimson Black Gold …”
“I don’t think it’s worth it.” Chen Xun pretended to put the scarlet black gold on the table into his spatial ring.
“Eight thousand jin of Crimson Crow Gold, right?” Lei Wanhe’s face was extremely ugly. “If I hadn’t forced Senior Sister Chang Xi into a corner, I wouldn’t have been willing to give up this ancient shield. Even if I didn’t activate the restriction, this shield would still be able to withstand a hundred thousand kilograms of chopping power. The Raging Sun Restraint engraved on this shield is even rarer in Cloud Continent. It was a treasure that I used my life to seize from the Heavenly Jun Secret Realm …”
Chen Xun hadn’t expected Lei Wanhe to try his best to sell his ancient shield in such a situation.
He had once heard Chang Xi say that his direct disciple Fang Xiaohan’s Purple Lightning Divine Sword had also come from the Heavenly Jun Secret Realm. He didn’t know exactly where the Heavenly Jun Secret Realm was and how to produce so many treasures, nor did he know how to enter the Heavenly Jun Secret Realm to cultivate.
Chen Xun didn’t let Lei Wanhe continue. He stopped him and said,
‘”Senior Brother Lei usually takes good care of me. This shield is worth 6,000 jin of scarlet black gold. As long as Senior Brother Lei has written the documents, I will lend the rest to Senior Brother Lei without any interest. However, Senior Brother Lei will have to pay me back in ten years. If there is a breach of contract, I will handle all the magical artifacts in my possession.”
Chen Xun thought to himself, according to how Lei Wanhe was exploited to such a miserable state by Chang Xi, he wouldn’t be able to pay back so much scarlet black gold within ten years, but asking Lei Wanhe to shoulder a bunch of debts would make it convenient for him to do anything.
If Lei Wanhe hadn’t been so miserable by Chang Xi’s trap, he would have had the qualifications to enter the inner sect.
**************************
Under the gazes of everyone, Lei Wanhe wrote down the loan contract on a high-grade blank talisman paper, and dripped blood along with the Divine Soul Seal.
Lei Wanhe’s face was filled with bitterness. Originally, he could have repudiated Gu Chengzhuo’s debt, but now, the Blazing Sun Ancient Shield had not been retrieved, and the black paper and white paper had written down the debt. He didn’t know if he could pay it off in this lifetime.
Gu Chengzhuo accepted the two ingots of scarlet black gold, and he would no longer be angered by Chen Xun’s disrespectful attitude just now. Instead, he felt that this person was even more of a character.
There were more than a hundred thousand outer sect disciples of the Divine Night Sect, and there were many who came from noble backgrounds. However, the nobles of the secular world were not worth a penny in the Divine Night Sect.
If Chen Xun simply took out two large ingots of scarlet black gold to help Lei Wanhe settle this matter, Gu Chengzhuo would not take him seriously, and he would even think that he was just a fat sheep that Chang Xi had just caught.
Gu Chengzhuo could also tell that Chen Xun was quite fond of this Ancient Blazing Sun Shield, and Chen Xun did something to not only obtain this shield and free Lei Wanhe from the encirclement, but also tie Lei Wanhe up with a huge debt.
Gu Chengzhuo looked at Lei Wanhe, who was at the peak of the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm even though he was only at the peak of the early stage of the Reincarnation Realm. Obviously, he was not a fat sheep that Chang Xi had simply captured.
Gu Chengzhuo wiped off the divine soul mark that he had attached to the ancient shield and handed it to Chen Xun. He said, “Junior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Lei, if you don’t mind, you should stay and drink with us. It can be considered that someone from the valley has apologized.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for your kindness.” Chen Xun saw that Gu Chengzhuo had a straightforward nature and was also interested in making friends. He put the Ancient Fiery Sun Shield into his spatial ring and pulled Lei Wanhe, who had a bitter face, to sit down and drink with the disciples of the Heavenly Punishment Peak.
After a few cups of spirit wine entered his stomach, the topic of conversation started to get more and more. Chen Xun knew that Lei Wanhe had taken a fancy to a magical artifact back then, but he was helpless in his pocket, so he did the trick of deceiving Chang Xi. However, he didn’t pay any attention to deceiving Chang Xi.
At that time, Chang Xi was only a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. Her cultivation had yet to advance into the Heavenly Yuan realm, and Lei Wanhe did not take her seriously. Who would have thought that she would be a direct disciple of Daoist Gu Yang since she was young?
How could Chang Xi suffer such a loss?
Back then, Lei Wanhe was captured by Chang Xi and hung in the lightning valley of the Heavenly Punishment Peak. Even the elders of the Heavenly Punishment Peak were in the wrong and no one stood up for him.
Before being captured by Chang Xi, Lei Wanhe encountered a vicious beast while traveling across an overseas desolate island. His magical artifacts were exhausted, and he managed to escape back to the sect with great difficulty. He was simply unable to repay Chang Xi’s debts.
As for his junior brother who used inferior magic tools to deceive Tian Xingfeng, he was also forced to do so by Chang Xi afterwards.
Gu Chengzhuo and the others roughly knew these details, but none of them dared to look for Chang Xi to entangle themselves with. They could only stare at Lei Wanhe’s head.
“Junior Brother Chen, how did you think of going to Cuiwei Lake to cultivate?” Gu Chengzhuo and the others were curious about Chen Xun’s origin.
After hearing about Lei Wanhe’s encounter, Chen Xun thought to himself that he might not be considered the most miserable person under Chang Xi’s wicked subordinate. However, some details were inconvenient for him to explain in detail. He merely smiled bitterly and said, “I was originally a wandering cultivator in the Azure Wave Wilderness. I met Senior Sister Chang Xi in the Wuteng Sandsea. Senior Sister Chang Xi recommended me to enter the Divine Night Sect to cultivate. Of course, there is also a price.”
When Chen Xun said this, Gu Chengzhuo and the others nodded their heads with deep feelings, showing sympathy. They did not pursue the matter any further and were unwilling to poke at his scar.
Pushing a cup and exchanging glasses, everyone became enthusiastic. Only then did Chen Xun know that Gu Chengzhuo was originally the son of the inner sect elder, Gu Wentian. He had only cultivated for 30 years, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. His status in the Divine Night Sect was no weaker than that of a direct disciple. The Octagonal Lightning Hammer could be ranked in the top 20 of the Cyan Azure Cloud Tome.
“What is the Azure Cloud Spectrum?” When Chen Xun heard Lei Wanhe and the others mention the Cyan Cloud Tree, he presumed that it was the ranking of magical artifacts in the Divine Night Sect. However, he did not know the details. He asked curiously, “Is the Cyan Cloud Tree the number one seat in the Cyan Cloud Tree? Is it the Crimson Sun Palace on the summit of the Violet Night Peak?”
Hearing Chen Xun’s question, everyone burst into laughter.
Lei Wanhe rarely had anyone treat him to a drink. His face had already turned red. He shook his head and said, “Junior Brother Chen, you really don’t know anything about the Divine Night Sect.” The Crimson Sun Palace was a Pure Yang Dao Artifact, and there might not be ten in the entire Cloud Continent. The Cyan Cloud Spectrum did not have such a large spectrum to rank a Pure Yang Dao Artifact like the Crimson Sun Palace. Those that could be included in the Cyan Cloud Genealogy were all magical artifacts in the hands of the Divine Night Sect disciples. “The Ancient Fiery Sun Shield that you put into your spatial ring can be ranked in the top 100 in the Qingyun Tome, at least. You’ve really earned a lot from me this time.”
‘”Go,” Gu Chengzhuo and the others exposed Lei Wanhe’s lies with disdain. “Even if the Blazing Sun Shield is ranked in the 1000 th place in the Cyan Cloud Spectrum, I won’t settle this debt with you!” Gu Chengzhuo and the others said disdainfully.
After hearing Lei Wanhe, Gu Chengzhuo, and the others explain, Chen Xun finally knew that the Cyan Cloud Tree was actually the ranking of the famous magical artifacts in the hands of the Divine Night Sect disciples.
The Divine Night Sect was divided into seven meridians (seven peaks). The disciples of each peak would often have examinations, and there would be a big competition between the disciples of the various peaks every ten years.
However, Zhu Feng would only send twenty disciples to participate in the once-in-a-decade competition between disciples of Zhu Feng and Zhu Feng. In fact, it had become the stage for true disciples of the Heavenly Origin Realm to perform.
There were so many Reincarnation Realm disciples in the inner and outer sects, and the difference in strength between them was not reflected in the official objective rankings within the Divine Night Sect, so the Azure Cloud Spectrum was born at the historic moment.
In fact, there was no absolute difference in cultivation levels between inner and outer disciples of the Reincarnation Realm. Most of the cultivation methods and profound techniques were passed down by the Divine Night Sect, and the difference was not big. On the contrary, the magical artifacts held by the disciples were the key factors affecting the difference in strength, and it also reflected the stratification of strength among the Divine Night Sect disciples.
