Chapter 44

Wang Meng laughed and said, "Damn, when they ask for the sky, you bargain on the ground. If we don’t take advantage of such a sucker, Zhang Xiaopang wouldn’t be able to stand it."

"Sure, I thought it was something serious. I have a lot of questions!" Zhou Feng thought it was no big deal. He had also heard that the disciples below found cultivation difficult, and he felt he had been too impolite.

Wang Meng, seeing the other party's expression, knew he had been taken advantage of. Damn, in business, you let the other party name the price. If he was looked down upon by Zhang Xiaopang, it would be his own fault. But once the words were out, there was no taking them back. It would be a character flaw to go back on his word.

"Because only the combination of fish scale grass and snow ginseng can both maintain the efficacy of the inner core and expel the demonic aura. Unless it’s a demon cultivator, demonic aura is harmful to alchemy."

Wang Meng explained, and Zhou Feng nodded vigorously. Knowing this much made him an expert.

"Why one fish scale grass and three pieces of snow ginseng?"

"Of course, it’s just the right balance!" Wang Meng raised two fingers, suddenly feeling that the more questions this guy asked, the better.

"How do you know I’m refining a pill?"

"Are you going to eat it raw? Afraid of choking to death!" Wang Meng raised three fingers.

"Do you know what kind of pill I’m refining?" Zhou Feng realized as soon as he asked that this question was a bit redundant. Although he didn’t have a clear concept of spirit stones, he wasn’t just throwing them around.

"Probably a Spirit Void Pill, right? Besides this kind of pill that expels demon fire and heart fire, I can’t think of any other use for such a yin and evil substance, but..."

Wang Meng raised four fingers.

"But, there’s more, what?"

This completely stunned Zhou Feng. Not many people could even name the Spirit Void Pill.

Wang Meng yawned and raised another finger, "This thing has side effects, use it only if you have to."

"…Is this also a question?" Zhou Feng was dumbfounded. Even someone with no concept knew the value of a mid-grade spirit stone.

Seeing Wang Meng about to speak again, Zhou Feng quickly waved his hands, "No, no, don’t answer, this isn’t a question."

Wang Meng smiled, "Thirty mid-grade spirit stones, 1,500 contribution points. Please have Elder Zhou deliver them as soon as possible."

Zhou Feng wiped his sweat, scared to death. He then realized that thirty spirit stones wouldn’t be too much of a problem, but even if he was wealthy, he couldn’t afford Wang Meng’s price of one spirit stone per question.

After sending Zhou Feng away, Wang Meng couldn’t help but smile. There were such pill enthusiasts in the Holy Hall. In his previous life, he had also encountered such people during his long cultivation, but this type could only survive in the Holy Cultivation. If they were demon or evil cultivators, they would have been devoured long ago.

Thirty mid-grade spirit stones, even with Wang Meng’s difficult constitution, breaking through the tenth level was a great hope. The higher the level, the more spirit stones were needed, and there was never too much of a good thing.

The seventh most difficult task was solved, causing a bit of a stir in the Holy Hall’s Wind and Cloud Pavilion. After all, such tasks were rarely challenged, but seeing that it was completed by the Thunderlight Hall, everyone found it amusing. They speculated that the elders might have stepped in to save face, but no one took it seriously.

If the task completer requested, their name could be displayed for honor, but this time, it wasn’t. What did this mean?

Guilt, the Thunderlight Hall had no one else to show.

"Tianyi, someone from the Thunderlight Hall completed the Wind and Thunder Python task," Ming Ren said, a bit worried. They had also considered this task, but the snake demon was cunning and treacherous, and with its wind and thunder attributes, it was too difficult to provoke, so they gave up. They didn’t expect someone to complete it.

"It must be him!" Li Tianyi said calmly.

"Are you sure? Dealing with such a monster requires a team, and the Thunderlight Hall doesn’t have such a good team."

"Maybe, he doesn’t need one."

"Brother, do you think this is another challenge from him?" Li Tianyi licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Since his cultivation began, he had never looked forward to each day of cultivation as much as he did now.

"Hard to say, but we in the Lingyin Hall fear no one!" Ming Ren was extremely protective of his junior brother. He considered the Lingyin Hall his home, and anyone who dared to challenge the Lingyin Hall’s honor was his enemy.

"Brother, what’s the sixth-ranked task?"

Li Tianyi and Ming Ren exchanged a smile. They would tell each other that no matter the form or method, the Lingyin Hall was not afraid!

Although Zhou Feng seemed unreliable, he acted promptly. Soon, Ma Tian’er delivered the reward.

"Brother, you’re amazing. I’ve never seen Elder Zhou praise someone so much," Ma Tian’er sat properly on the chair, not showing any signs of the shabby and dirty hut.

Wang Meng smiled, "Sister, I’m sorry, I don’t have much to offer guests. Have some water." He poured a cup of water for Ma Tian’er, "Elder Zhou is helping the juniors."

Ma Tian’er shook her head like a rattle, "Elder Zhou is the most straightforward elder in the main hall. Although he’s a good person, he’s very strict when scolding people."

Wang Meng was used to it. Although Ma Tian’er should be his senior, he accepted it calmly. Being a senior brother felt good.

"Sister, you seem to know a lot about the main hall." Wang Meng smiled.

Ma Tian’er blushed, "Actually, it’s nothing. Brother’s abilities are truly impressive!"

"Me? Impressive? Ha, since you say so, I must be impressive. Here, these are for you."

Wang Meng took out two mid-grade spirit stones, which were extra. With Zhou Feng’s generosity, the spirit stones for the hall battle were now complete.

Ma Tian’er shook her head, "No, I can’t accept this."

"Silly girl, how can I let you call me brother for nothing? Take it. Besides, the hall battle is coming soon. You should practice more and not let the Hengshan Hall look down on us."

Wang Meng forced the spirit stones into Ma Tian’er’s hand. She stared at them, feeling Wang Meng’s aura on them.

"Thank you, Brother."

"Ha, no need to be so formal. If you want to thank someone, thank me. Do you think I didn’t know the Thunderlight Pavilion doesn’t offer credit?"

Ma Tian’er bit her lip, "Brother, you said we don’t need to be formal."

"True, ha, my mistake."

After sending Ma Tian’er away, Wang Meng felt good. In the world of cultivators, such simplicity was rare. In the Holy Hall, Wang Meng experienced a different atmosphere, a mix of competition and mutual aid that felt unique and enjoyable.

There was still plenty of time before the hall battle. He had done what he could. How far Zhang Xiaojiang and Hu Jing could go depended on their own perseverance.

"Xiaoben, be a good boy and watch the house. I’ll go get some food." Wang Meng patted Lingxi’s head.

Lingxi’s eyes widened at the mention of food, and he barked at Wang Meng.

"Alright, alright, I’ll get something good this time. You, not learning good things, but picky eating, you’ve learned that quickly."
