Chapter 386: You're the Disciple of the Blood Robe Sword Immortal, Then Who Am I?
Chapter 386: You're the Disciple of the Blood Robe Sword Immortal, Then Who Am I?
"How... much?" Qiong Yun Ting's eyes widened, almost disbelieving her own ears.
Qi Yuan glanced at her and sighed, "Did you not clean your ears last night, blocking them with earwax? I spoke so loudly, and you didn't hear me. 1.05 billion spirit stones!"
Qi Yuan was afraid that there might be a lot of earwax in her ears, so he raised his voice.
His voice echoed throughout the hall.
Instantly, many people stared at Qiong Yun Ting's ears, some with their hands over their mouths, trying to suppress their laughter.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling Su hugged Qi Yuan's arm, her face almost sticking to his as she laughed uncontrollably.
She felt a sense of relief.
Qiong Yun Ting's face turned red with embarrassment and anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? I... I cleaned my ears!"
"It seems you didn't clean them thoroughly, and you're not diligent enough," Qi Yuan concluded.
Qiong Yun Ting was furious. Even though she had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Qi Yuan's words still left her breathless with anger.
She had anticipated that today, the entire Cloud Sky City would be abuzz with rumors about Qiong Yun Ting, the fairy who didn't like cleaning her ears.
"Come on, don't be shy. Be bold and clean your ears thoroughly, or I'll have to keep speaking loudly, and it's tiring," Qi Yuan continued to persuade her.
"You!" Qiong Yun Ting's eyes reddened, almost unable to bear Qi Yuan's words.
"Don't be shy, sister. We should refuse to clean our ears and be ourselves!
I once knew a fairy who, in order to pick her nose better, even created a unique Daoist method. You should learn from her and not care about others' opinions!"
Qi Yuan became more excited as he spoke, his words carrying a hint of incitement.
Qiong Yun Ting, with reddened eyes, had initially been thinking of ways to humiliate Qi Yuan, but those thoughts were now far from her mind.
At this moment, Wang Yun Teng, dressed in a green robe, spoke up, his demeanor extraordinary, "Is the fellow Daoist the son-in-law of the Jiang family... coming to the Divine Infancy Feast to borrow spirit stones?"
This time, it was Jiang Ling Su's turn to blush.
"No, I'm not a son-in-law, and I don't pour bathwater either," Qi Yuan shook his head, "Today, the Ear Wax Fairy mentioned that her husband's family is very wealthy. If I need money, I can come to the Divine Infancy Feast, and her husband will solve my problems."
Wang Yun Teng looked at Qi Yuan with an arrogant expression, "The Jiang family is indeed influential in Cloud Sky City. If they encounter issues with their businesses here, how much spirit stone would this True Monarch need?"
Before the Divine Infancy Feast, Wang Yun Teng had heard Qiong Yun Ting mention Qi Yuan and Jiang Ling Su.
At that time, he had also promised to suppress Qi Yuan's arrogance and, if possible, take over the Jiang family's businesses in Cloud Sky City.
"1.05 billion spirit stones," Qi Yuan repeated.
He felt that this Daoist couple didn't clean their ears every day.
They should clean each other's ears before going to sleep at night.
Wang Yun Teng's eyes flashed with displeasure, "1.05 billion spirit stones, are you joking?
With so many spirit stones, you could probably buy Cloud Sky City!"
Wang Yun Teng wasn't sure if 1.05 billion spirit stones could buy Cloud Sky City.
But it was enough to buy the life of a Purple Mansion Cultivator.
"I'm not joking; I've calculated it.
Your Wang family owns forty spirit stone mines, operates five auction houses, and has shares in over three hundred businesses. If you sell everything, it's worth 1 billion spirit stones.
As for the Ear Wax Fairy, her family is even poorer. With a gambling father, an ailing mother, and an unaccomplished younger brother, they have around 50 million spirit stones."
Qi Yuan's face carried a smile.
"I've come to keep my promise and borrow the money. How about it?" He extended his palm.
Wang Yun Teng's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze towards Qi Yuan now held a different meaning.
The other cultivators also looked at Qi Yuan with curiosity, some with anticipation of a show.
This red-robed cultivator had thoroughly investigated the Wang family's secrets.
It wasn't as simple as borrowing money.
Wang Yun Teng naturally understood this, and he coldly smiled, "Who is backing Qi Yuan to have such confidence to borrow 1 billion spirit stones!"
The atmosphere of a Divine Infancy Cultivator's aura filled the area.
The surrounding cultivators reacted differently, some watching the show, others moving away.
Jiang Ling Su moved closer to Qi Yuan, unaffected by the aura. Her eyes, like scissors, stared at Qi Yuan, her mindset having changed significantly.
Qi Yuan heard this and stretched lazily.
To be honest, he had never bullied others with his status.
Today, he had come to play with his junior sister, with nothing else to do.
He thought for a moment and replied, "I'm backed by... the Blood Cloak Alliance!"
Saying these words, Qi Yuan felt a bit of satisfaction.
No wonder those with powerful backgrounds always boasted about their fathers, grandfathers, and masters.
This feeling of relying on one's status was indeed a little satisfying!
"The Blood Cloak Alliance?"
The guests in the hall reacted with surprise, some showing fear.
"He's from the Blood Cloak Alliance!"
"He's wearing a blood-colored robe..."
"The Wang family is being targeted by the Blood Cloak Alliance. They're finished!"
Nowadays, who didn't know about the Blood Cloak Alliance?
The Blood Robe Sword Immortal's journey as well as his motivation could be considered inspiring.
In his middle age, he embarked on the path of cultivation, achieving greatness later in life.
Upon returning home, he discovered his daughter being humiliated by the Bright Palace, forced to live in a doghouse!
Thus, the Blood Robe Sword Immortal began his legendary journey, fueled by vengeance.
Destroying the Bright Palace, slaughtering the Yin Deities, and establishing the Blood Cloak Alliance!
Later, he offended the Divine Flower Society and was silenced.
Blood Robe Sword Immortal headed to the Divine Flower Society's headquarters, intending to settle the score with the Society's leader with a single sword strike!
The Divine Flower Society, also known as the Blood Robe Sword Immortal's plaything.
Blood Robe Sword Immortal, the most renowned legendary figure in the Eastern Soil and over twenty surrounding realms.
If this crimson-robed man truly has the backing of the Blood Cloak Alliance, the Wang Clan is in real danger!
In Helan Continent, the Wang Clan reigns as the overlord.
But if the Blood Cloak Alliance targets the Wang Clan, even if the Wang Clan produces a Yinshen-level talent like Wang Yun Teng, it won't be enough.
As everyone worried about Wang Yun Teng, he, for once, laughed lightly, a hint of ridicule in his voice: "In this day and age, even deception and fraud have reached the doors of my Wang Clan."
"Do you know that the Blood Robe Sword Immortal has agreed to take on my true self as his disciple, and he will do so immediately!" Wang Yun Teng declared arrogantly.
The Divine Infancy Feast was the occasion for the Wang Clan to announce significant news—that Wang Yun Teng had been taken as a disciple by the Blood Robe Sword Immortal.
"What? Wang Zhenjun caught the attention of the Blood Robe Sword Immortal and is now his disciple?"
"Congratulations! This is truly envy-inducing... It's enough to turn someone purple with jealousy!"
"The Wang Clan has produced a true dragon!"
"Wang Yun Teng's talent is exceptional. If he were to participate in the Eastern Soil Talents List, he would undoubtedly be among the top ranks. Being noticed by the Blood Robe Sword Immortal and taken as a disciple is understandable."
"I never expected the Blood Robe Sword Immortal to take on disciples!"
The crowd was shocked and envious.
"If Qi Yuan is causing trouble for the Wang Clan, isn't that like flooding the Dragon King's Temple?"
"This red-robed cultivator is in trouble!"
They looked at Qi Yuan with regret.
Even if he is from the Blood Cloak Alliance, offending the disciple of the Blood Robe Sword Immortal will spell his end.
Qi Yuan was bewildered.
The situation was unfolding differently than he had anticipated.
"Hey, I'm the Dragon King Battle God!" Qi Yuan exclaimed.
"Why are you all so shocked?"
"And why are you stealing my dramatic scenes?"
Qi Yuan was speechless. He was in a rare good mood and had agreed to play the role of the Dragon King Battle God with his junior sister, but it didn't go as planned.
He looked at Wang Yun Teng and said calmly, "You claim to be the disciple of the Blood Robe Sword Immortal, but where's your proof? If you are his disciple, then I... I'm the father of the Blood Robe Sword Immortal!"
Qi Yuan was about to say that he was the Blood Robe Sword Immortal.
But the other party wasn't the disciple of the Blood Robe Sword Immortal; he was the Blood Robe Sword Immortal himself. This statement couldn't be verified, and it might even be grammatically incorrect.
"How dare you show disrespect to the Blood Robe Sword Immortal! You're finished. Here in the Eastern Soil, no one can protect you!" Wang Yun Teng's eyes gleamed with killing intent.
It seemed he truly regarded the Blood Robe Sword Immortal as his master.
"Bring out your master, the Blood Robe Sword Immortal, and let me see!" Qi Yuan crossed his arms.
He wanted to see if there was indeed someone with the same name.
Doesn't that... infringe on his copyright?
He should demand compensation.
"The Blood Robe Sword Immortal isn't here, but I am."
Just then, an aged voice echoed.
An old man stumbled out, a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and his body exuded a strong alcoholic scent.
His nose was red, a clear sign of a drinker's nose.
His sudden appearance seemed to have evaded the senses of everyone present.
The cultivators present were filled with apprehension at the sight of this old man.
He appeared out of thin air.
"Greetings, Wine Sage!" Wang Yun Teng immediately bowed respectfully and continued, "The Wine Sage is a legendary figure. Even my master, the Blood Robe Sword Immortal, would address him with respect!"
Wang Yun Teng introduced the Wine Sage to the crowd.
The Wine Sage held a wine gourd, pouring wine into his mouth.
The cultivators in the room caught a whiff of the wine, and their faces showed awe.
For within that wine seemed to brew infinite divine energy.
It was as if a Yinshen had distilled the wine from their divine energy.
The fact that the Wine Sage could drink such wine confirmed that he was a Yinshen!
They looked at the Wine Sage with even more conviction.
The Wine Sage finished his drink and said, "This Wang Yun Teng is a good kid with exceptional talent. It's a shame I dislike the hassle of taking on disciples, so I passed him on to that Blood Robe guy."
Qi Yuan observed the Wine Sage, his expression calm.
In his eyes, nothing about the Wine Sage was hidden.
Indeed, this Wine Sage was a Yinshen powerhouse, and not just any Yinshen, but a Great Venerable, an extraordinary one at that."
"Have you met the Blood Robe Sword Immortal? Do you think he would agree to take Wang Yun Teng as his disciple?" Qi Yuan asked.
"Once, I was slightly awake from my drunken stupor, lying in a carriage. Blood Robe here was considerate enough to keep watch over me. I handed over Wang Yun Teng to him, and it was his honor. He was eager to please me!" The Wine Sage spoke with a proud smile.
The Wine Sage continued, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Qi Yuan's gaze remained calm.
The first half of the statement caused Qi Yuan's nose to grow slightly, indicating... the Wine Sage was lying, and Blood Robe hadn't kept watch.
The second half didn't change his nose, which meant... the Wine Sage was telling the truth, or at least, he believed it to be true.
"You're quite confident. I'm ninety-nine percent certain that the Blood Robe Sword Immortal won't take him as a disciple." Qi Yuan said calmly.
"In this matter, even if you are the father of the Blood Robe Sword Immortal, the Blood Robe Sword Immortal will heed my words.
"Wine Sage, brimming with confidence, declared, 'Among the mighty Great Venerables in this world, the stronger they are, the more they'll seek my help. For only I can offer them a chance to live!'"
Wine Sage spoke with arrogance, exuding pride.
Qi Yuan maintained a calm demeanor, "I've heard that Blood Robe Sword Immortal is the strongest in the world. Does he still need you to give him a way out?"
"Little kid, you don't understand," Wine Sage said, "If I take off my shoes, even Blood Robe Sword Immortal will have to put them back on for me."
"Aren't you from the Blood Cloak Alliance? Call him over and let him put my shoes on for me right here!" Wine Sage exuded confidence, like a Supreme Cultivator.
The cultivators present were stunned, some as silent as cicadas in winter.
Wine Sage's words were simply too exaggerated.
If only Blood Robe Sword Immortal could hear this...
"Hehe, I dare say this because I have the confidence. Blood Robe Sword Immortal is powerful, but he doesn't even have his name on the Mythic Stele. Hehe... he's not that exceptional," Wine Sage continued.
Wang Yun Teng spoke up, "In this world, there are great sects and hidden organizations. Wine Sage, you're the vice-leader of a hidden organization!"
The others were shocked upon hearing this.
Could Wine Sage be a true dragon in disguise? However, regardless of whether it was Blood Robe Sword Immortal or Wine Sage, they had offended powerful figures.
Wine Sage looked at Qi Yuan with a sigh, "Kid, help me put on my boots. I'll let go of today's offense, but if you displease me, not only will your sect suffer, but also the little girl behind you and the Jiang Clan might all turn to ashes!"
Qi Yuan's expression remained calm, "The cultivation world has truly degenerated. I just wiped out the Feng Clan on a whim, and now I encounter another potential maniacal killer. Alas, why are there still so many bad people in the world despite my efforts?"
A gust of wind blew by, and Qi Yuan's blood-colored robe fluttered momentarily.
The cultivators present were slightly stunned by Qi Yuan's words.
What? The Feng Clan was annihilated?
They were shocked, as if they had heard something unimaginable.
Suddenly, they realized something, and their eyes widened in surprise as they looked at Qi Yuan.
Today was Wang Yun Teng's Divine Infancy Feast, and the Feng Clan should have sent representatives. But up until now, no one had arrived.
This...
They quickly sent out messages to spread the news.
"Annihilated?" Wine Sage furrowed his brows, and in that moment, his powerful Divine Soul swept through, revealing the tragic state of the Feng Clan.
He looked at Qi Yuan with astonishment, "You're quite bold, kid. You actually wiped out the Feng Clan!"
Wine Sage continued, and his powerful Divine Soul surged towards Qi Yuan, wanting to uncover his true abilities.
However, when his powerful Divine Soul touched Qi Yuan, it was like a gentle breeze on water, causing no ripples.
"You're making me suspicious, kid. Could you really be the son of Blood Robe Sword Immortal?" Wine Sage's face was filled with doubt.
The other cultivators were bewildered upon hearing this.
Soon after, countless messages flooded their ears, and their gazes towards Qi Yuan completely changed.
They had just received news that the Feng Clan had been annihilated, and members of the Feng Palace seemed to be rushing towards Cloud Heaven City to apologize.
The one who had destroyed the Feng Clan was none other than the legendary Blood Robe Sword Immortal.
Their hearts trembled with both shock and confusion.
How could they have been unaware of such a significant event?
They had no idea that wherever Qi Yuan appeared, the ten suns would take turns shining, intensifying the effects of forgetfulness.
"Blood Robe Sword Immortal! He's Blood Robe Sword Immortal!" exclaimed a Divine Infancy cultivator, trembling with awe.
They never imagined that Blood Robe Sword Immortal would appear here.
Moreover, it seemed he was here as a member of the Jiang Clan by marriage! Those who had secretly mocked Qi Yuan now turned ashen-faced.
The rest of the cultivators also showed reverence in their expressions.
"We pay our respects to Blood Robe Sword Immortal!" In an instant, a Divine Infancy cultivator bowed.
The other cultivators followed suit, all bowing in unison.
Although Wine Sage had boasted extravagantly and appeared powerful, they had no idea how strong he truly was.
Blood Robe Sword Immortal was different; he was genuinely ruthless.
Wang Yun Teng's face paled at the sight.
Qiong Yun Ting's eyes also revealed disbelief as she glanced at Jiang Ling Su and then at Qi Yuan, her expression nearing collapse.
Only Wine Sage was slightly surprised, still sitting there as if he had a fisherman on a stable platform.
"So you're Blood Robe Sword Immortal? Put my boots on for me!"
Wine Sage's voice carried confidence, a confidence born from his formidable strength.
The other cultivators' eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.
Wang Yun Teng's face turned ashen, and deep down, he truly hoped Wine Sage wasn't just boasting.
Otherwise, the Wang Clan would be doomed.
However, remembering Wine Sage's peculiarities, Wang Yun Teng breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Yuan looked at Wine Sage with a smile, "Borrowing the words of an ancient sage, in the Canglan Realm, no one can be mightier than me!"
Qi Yuan couldn't take it anymore; Wine Sage was too good at pretending.
If they didn't continue the competition, Qi Yuan would feel like his whole body was itching.
Of course, after the competition, it would be Qi Yuan's specialty... kill, kill, kill.
