Chapter 340: The Training Commences
Chapter 340: The Training Commences
In the entire Jin State, the strength of Tianfeng Valley can only be considered lower-tier.
Even if one were to speak more highly of them, they would still be considered lower-middle tier.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, they certainly have a place among the ranks.
However, compared to Tiangang City and Yunyang Sect, they aren't much stronger.
In the past, the people of Tianfeng Valley weren't as arrogant as they are now, and the relationship between the two sects was much more harmonious.
It seems that after Mu Danying married into the Long family, the people of Tianfeng Valley have become increasingly arrogant.
Her self-deprecating attitude is noticeable to everyone around her.
Long Yunyun also started to look down on Tiangang City because of this.
Once prejudice takes root, it will only grow deeper.
The more others prejudge her, the more Mu Danying flatters and tries to please them.
As for dinner, Su Chen and the others didn't plan to eat here anymore.
Mu Danying and Long Guinight had already left the courtyard again to talk to Ding Jiujiang.
Su Chen and his group also stood up and prepared to return to their guest rooms.
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Mu Tangzhu didn't hesitate and followed them.
"I know that you are giving Mu Danying some face because of me, Mu Quan.
Rest assured, I, Mu Quan, understand right from wrong.
I know where I should stand."
Mu Tangzhu realized that everyone had already given him some face.
If it weren't for his sake, they would have directly gone to talk to the higher-ups of Tianfeng Valley.
They would have made a big deal out of this matter and argued about it.
Everyone knew that the higher-ups of Tianfeng Valley had tacitly approved of this matter.
But if it were to be made into a fuss, Long Guinight, who directly caused this situation, would be the one to take the blame.
The group comforted him with a few words.
To be fair, Mu Tangzhu's position was indeed uncomfortable.
It was already difficult for him to have his current stance.
After returning to the guest room, the group of fellow disciples gathered again to discuss the matter.
From Ding Jiujiang's initial behavior, everyone had already noticed something.
This time, Tianfeng Valley just wanted to reclaim a few training spots.
The entire Tianfeng Valley might feel that the exchange of interests between Shanhe Pool and Liu Sha Treasure Ground wasn't favorable enough for them.
In their eyes, two or three training spots in Liu Sha Treasure Ground could be exchanged for ten training spots in Shanhe Pool.
"This time, we might have to wrong a few fellow disciples. If we can't train in the Inner Ring River Channel, we won't enter the Outer Ring Channel.
The Outer Ring Channel doesn't have much training value anyway. We'll just solidify Tianfeng Valley's reputation for withholding training spots.
After returning, it will be easier to discuss matters with the elders.
With Tianfeng Valley's attitude, we don't need to continue cooperating with them.
This Liu Sha Treasure Ground isn't some extraordinary place that we must cooperate with.
If they don't want to cooperate, then so be it."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding personal disciples nodded calmly.
Indeed, sending them to train in the Outer Ring Channel would be meaningless.
In such a place, they could find a waterfall or a particularly turbulent water flow, which should have a corresponding effect.
After saying this, Gu Feng looked at Su Chen and Wu Fengjun.
"Su Fellow Daoist, Wu Fellow Daoist, if there are only three spots, then the three of us will go to the Inner Ring River Channel.
But on this training trip, we must achieve some results.
Otherwise, when the sect confronts Tianfeng Valley, they might turn the tables on us.
They might say that they didn't let us train in the Inner Ring River Channel because they were concerned about our safety.
If we perform poorly, it will become their evidence."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen and Wu Fengjun both nodded.
Judging from Tianfeng Valley's current actions, they were definitely capable of doing such a thing.
The fellow disciples nearby didn't have any complaints or jealousy about this.
Among them, Su Chen, Gu Feng, and Wu Fengjun were the strongest.
There was no issue with the three of them participating in the Inner Ring River Channel training.
Moreover, if they didn't go, they worried that they couldn't handle the pressure.
Tianfeng Valley's western courtyard.
Long Guinight had just come out, and his originally flattering expression turned serious when he saw Mu Danying.
Mu Danying was accompanied by Long Yunyun at this moment.
She seemed to have gotten used to her father's attitude towards her mother.
Furthermore, she thought it was reasonable.
"The saying 'the more remote the place, the more unreasonable the people' is absolutely true.
You people from Tiangang City, are so unreasonable that you can't even explain things clearly.
You have mediocre abilities, yet you want to take advantage of every opportunity. Your greedy nature is so annoying!
You're just like her!"
Long Guinight scolded her as he led the two towards their courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Mu Danying didn't even have a word of rebuttal.
After a while, she finally spoke.
"What small advantages am I seeking now?
This time, I didn't even take the initiative to support them in reporting for Outer Ring Channel training."
Upon hearing this, Long Guinight hummed.
"It's better now.
If you keep interacting with those people from Tiangang City, you might turn back into your previous self!"
On the way back, Long Guinight started talking about his discussion with the higher-ups of Tianfeng Valley.
"You can tell them later that the valley can only give them three training spots.
But be careful to slightly comfort them here.
Tell them that if they perform well in the Inner Ring Channel, we'll give them this year's training spots in Liu Sha Treasure Ground.
Pay attention to your tone, alternating between firmness and friendliness.
Anyway, these three training spots are the limit of what I can get back.
One of them is even Long Yunyun's training spot."
"You'll have to give up the spot then."
As soon as these words were spoken, Long Yunyun's face beside him turned ugly in an instant.
Seeing her like this, Long Guinight wasn't going to indulge her in the slightest.
"If you don't want to give up this spot, then go and talk to those troublemakers from Heavenly Pole City yourself.
Don't make that face in front of me!"
After being yelled at like this, Long Yunyun became well-behaved.
Her dissatisfied gaze now fell entirely on Mu Dan Ying.
Everything was her mother's fault.
Facing all this, Mu Dan Ying still seemed to think it was justified.
She even began to resent the people of Heavenly Pole City in her heart.
By the time the sky had completely darkened, Su Chen and Gu Feng were still waiting in the guest rooms.
As midnight approached, Mu Dan Ying came alone.
She directly told everyone that she had only managed to obtain two qualifications.
She even wanted to keep one qualification for Long Yunyun.
But Gu Feng was also very firm, completely rejecting her explanations.
Even when she answered later, Su Chen and several senior apprentices didn't respond at all.
After nearly half an hour of deliberation, Mu Dan Ying finally couldn't resist compromising.
"If you insist on this, I can only let Yunyun give up her qualification for you.
This is already the limit of what we can do; three training qualifications."
Mu Dan Ying's face carried a hint of grievance, as if she was trying to use a retreat as an advance, hoping that everyone would give up.
At the same time, she also wanted her father, who was standing beside her, to help mediate.
"There's no need to give up anyone's qualification. We should have seven qualifications in the first place.
We don't want to know where you got your qualification from.
Our intentions are pure; we just want the qualifications."
Gu Feng, on the other hand, was completely unmoved by moral coercion.
The nearby Master Mu was also just watching, not saying a word.
Mu Dan Ying seemed to realize that Su Chen and Gu Feng's group had no intention of giving her face.
Being able to negotiate for three training qualifications was already the lowest limit that everyone could accept.
As midnight approached, this matter was finally settled.
Three inner ring river channel training qualifications in the Flowing Sand Treasure Land.
As for the others, they would directly refuse to go to the outer ring channel for training tomorrow.
Although they had come here for training and cultivation, tomorrow's training seemed to carry a hint of competition.
What was originally just about their own improvement now also involved their reputation and the face of their sect.
After a night's rest.
Before the morning hour, everyone had already gotten up to prepare.
Here, the people of Heaven Wind Valley wouldn't come to remind or warn them about anything.
After eating some early breakfast, as the sky brightened, everyone headed straight for the Flowing Sand Treasure Land.
The people of Heaven Wind Valley hadn't arrived yet, so they waited here.
The inner ring channel entrance was already completely sealed.
To enter now, they would either have to dismantle the blockage or dive into the mud and sand and swim in.
Looking at the Flowing Sand Treasure Land again today.
Even the outer ring channel seemed more turbulent than it had been in the past few days.
Inside the inner ring channel, today's mud and sand seemed even more ferocious.
At the morning hour, people from Heaven Wind Valley started to arrive in twos and threes.
These people seemed to carry a faint smile on their faces when they saw Su Chen's group.
Around the fourth quarter of the third hour, Mu Dan Ying's family of three also arrived.
Long Guinight and Long Yunyun, their gazes seemed to carry a hint of disgust.
Mu Dan Ying, a martial artist from Heavenly Pole City, didn't show disgust, but rather, cold indifference.
In their hesitation, the three of them walked over to Master Mu's side.
"Your granddaughter is now excluded, are you happy, Grandfather?"
Master Mu's face turned ugly, this question leaving him speechless.
If it was to help Long Yunyun, how could he, as her grandfather, not want to?
But it wasn't right to harm Heavenly Pole City's interests in exchange.
Moreover, last year, they had already given Long Yunyun a Mountain River Pool training qualification, which was already a gesture of goodwill from Heavenly Pole City.
"There's a high chance that none of Heavenly Pole City's three qualifications will make it through the inner ring channel.
I'm also a martial artist from Heavenly Pole City, and I know this very well.
Back then, there was only one person in my generation with better movement techniques than me.
So many years have passed, I wonder if Heavenly Pole City's younger generation is more outstanding than our generation."
Mu Dan Ying, when speaking to the people of Heavenly Pole City, seemed to carry a hint of nobility.
Her tone was much higher than when she spoke to Long Guinight.
"Also, from now on, don't call me Aunt Mu anymore, I don't have any nephews or nieces like you."
Hearing this, Su Chen's group laughed.
Gu Feng immediately retorted, "After your disruption, have you heard us call you Aunt even once? Do you even deserve it?"
At this moment, Long Yunyun's gaze had turned to the southwest side.
Many young people from Heaven Wind Valley were gathering there.
At the front of the crowd, a white-robed youth seemed rather extraordinary.
Many people's gazes, including Long Yunyun's, fell on him.
Standing beside Su Chen, Senior Apprentice Wu Fengjun, let out a light snort.
"That's probably Ren Xiuyao, he looks pretty average.
His looks are indeed not that great, far inferior to Su Chen."
Upon hearing this, Long Yunyun glared at Wu Fengjun.
"After being far surpassed by Ren Xiuyao, when you're thoroughly embarrassed, then you'll know who's truly average!"
Su Chen and the senior apprentices no longer paid them any attention.
Master Mu also didn't go to his daughter's side; he still chose Heavenly Pole City.
"Back then, there was only one person in Heavenly Pole City with better movement techniques than her in her generation, I wonder who that was?"
Su Chen and the others were still curious.
Upon hearing this, Master Mu immediately provided the answer, "Ji Sheng."
