Chapter 61

"Golden spirit value token of an inner disciple? It must be fake, right?"

"Is this guy, who suddenly appeared from nowhere, actually an inner disciple?"

"When did the inner disciples of our Star Constellation Sect become as common as cabbages, where anyone can become one?"

In the mission hall, the surrounding Star Constellation Sect disciples exchanged glances and then whispered to each other. Then, many of those who considered themselves skilled cast greedy glances at Ye Zhong. According to the rules of the Star Constellation Sect, Ye Zhong, upon revealing his identity, instantly became the target of all outer disciples.

However, Ye Zhong seemed oblivious to the changes around him and casually tossed the golden spirit value token. Elder Wu took the token, added forty thousand spirit values to it, and then casually handed it back to Ye Zhong.

Looking at the forty thousand spirit values in the token, Ye Zhong smiled slightly. With so many spirit values, advancing to the fifth level of the Body Tempering stage would no longer be a big problem.

Without saying more, Ye Zhong turned and left, intending to find a place to practice.

"Hehe, little guy, don't be in such a hurry to leave." Elder Wu, seeing Ye Zhong about to leave, suddenly rubbed his hands and chuckled.

"Does the Elder have something else?" Ye Zhong glanced at Elder Wu and asked with a hint of caution.

"Hey, kid, don't look at me like that. I'm a very upright person," Elder Wu puffed out his chest and then said with a passionate look, "Little guy, according to the sect's rules, since you have reclaimed the inheritance golden book, it now belongs to you personally. Even the sect cannot forcibly take it from you... However, if you are willing to let the sect make a copy, the sect will not forget your contribution. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and, after a moment of silence, said calmly, "Elder Wu, let's not beat around the bush. Just tell me directly, what benefits can I get if I let the sect make a copy?"

"Hmm, if you voluntarily hand over this item, the sect can consider giving you a ten percent discount when you exchange for spirit medicines and spirit weapons, and the third floor of the Spirit Techniques Hall can be opened to you once!" After a moment of thought, Elder Wu said softly.

The first part of his words didn't affect Su Yu, but the second part made her slightly stunned, and then her face showed shock.

"Fifty percent!" Ye Zhong, not noticing Su Yu's expression, thought for a moment and then directly cut the price.

Ye Zhong's ruthless bargaining made Elder Wu's eyes twitch, and he almost pulled out a strand of his beard. After staring at Ye Zhong for a while, he sighed, "I finally understand why you can accomplish so much. Your bargaining is so ruthless, I really admire you... Fine, I'll make the decision. The best I can offer is a twenty percent discount, no lower. You should know that even we elders can only get a twenty percent discount when we exchange for spirit medicines, spirit weapons, and spirit pills in the sect."

"Is that so?" Ye Zhong looked at Elder Wu with a hint of suspicion and asked softly.

"Little Junior Brother Ye Zhong, just agree," Su Yu whispered in Ye Zhong's ear, gritting her teeth, "The discount doesn't matter, but the third floor of the Spirit Techniques Hall is something even we inner disciples can't enter casually. Usually, only disciples who have made significant contributions to the sect can enter the third floor once. You should be satisfied!"

Hearing Su Yu's words, Ye Zhong thought for a moment and then nodded slightly. He casually tossed the inheritance golden book to Elder Wu. To be honest, Ye Zhong had already studied the先天洗髓诀 (Xian Tian Xi Sui Jue) on the way. Although it was a decent spirit technique, it was far inferior to the Six Paths Burial Sword Technique in his body. After a brief look, Ye Zhong had given up on practicing it. Instead, the third floor of the Spirit Techniques Hall, as mentioned by Elder Wu, piqued his interest.

At the moment, Ye Zhong knew several offensive spirit techniques, but most of them were beyond his current capabilities. The only one he could use effectively was the Asura Sword Seal, which was somewhat embarrassing. Entering the third floor of the Spirit Techniques Hall once might allow him to find an offensive spirit technique suitable for his current level, which he valued.

After giving Ye Zhong a fierce glare and putting away the inheritance golden book, Elder Wu coughed and said, "Alright, kid, I'll take care of it. When you want to go to the Spirit Techniques Hall, just let Su Yu know, and she'll take you. Also, after the copy of the inheritance golden book is completed, I'll send it to you."

"Thank you, Elder." Ye Zhong bowed and then looked at the forty thousand spirit values in his token, his eyes glowing with excitement.

At the moment, he already had the strength of the fourth level of Body Tempering. According to the requirements of the Six Paths Burial Sword Technique, he only needed one more Purple Wood Spirit Root to smoothly advance to the fifth level of Body Tempering.

This trip to the Xian Tian Holy Temple made Ye Zhong clearly realize that compared to some of the young elites, he still had a gap. If not for his rich combat experience and keen judgment, he might have failed in the Xian Tian Holy Temple.

Therefore, strength was the most important. No matter what he planned to do in the future, without sufficient strength, everything would be meaningless.

After bidding farewell to Elder Wu and leaving the mission hall, Ye Zhong scanned the surroundings and then strode toward the Spirit Medicine Hall. According to Su Yu, the Spirit Medicine Hall should have the spirit medicines he needed.

Seeing Ye Zhong's actions, Su Yu sighed and quickly followed. However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly frowned, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

"Hehehe, Senior Sister Su Yu, it's been a long time!"

Ye Zhong also frowned slightly. On the path to the Spirit Medicine Hall, a man in a white robe, about seventeen or eighteen years old, slowly walked out. His gaze, filled with passion, fell on Su Yu behind Ye Zhong, completely ignoring Ye Zhong.

"I heard in the courtyard that Senior Sister Su Yu had returned, so I couldn't resist coming to say hello. I hope you don't mind, Senior Sister?"

"Chu Yun, I don't remember us being that close," Su Yu frowned and said coldly.

"Ha ha, Senior Sister Su Yu, you really know how to joke. We've cooperated many times. It's good to catch up after so long, right? Or are you forgetting old friends for new ones?" Chu Yun sighed and then his gaze slowly fell on Ye Zhong, the resentment in his eyes making Ye Zhong feel uneasy.

It seems that this Senior Sister Su Yu is quite a troublesome woman.

"You two chat slowly, I'll be going." Ye Zhong glanced back at Su Yu, waved, and then prepared to leave by another route. It was obvious that Chu Yun was Su Yu's suitor, and Ye Zhong wasn't interested in getting involved in such trivial matters.

"Ye Zhong, you heartless guy!" Su Yu huffed, stomped her foot, and pouted.

Hearing this, Ye Zhong stumbled, almost falling. This woman was indeed someone not to be provoked.

"Ye Zhong? You're that Ye Zhong? The Ye Family's waste, Ye Zhong?"

At this moment, a hint of ridicule appeared in Chu Yun's gaze as he looked at Ye Zhong. "I wondered who it was, it's you, the Ye Family's waste. I don't know how you managed to sneak into our Star Constellation Sect, but it's best to leave before the sect's patrol discovers you. Otherwise, even the Heavenly King can't save you! Of course, if you want to be my dog, just kneel and beg, and it might be possible!"

As he finished speaking, Ye Zhong, who had initially planned to ignore the matter, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes and his gaze fell on Chu Yun.

"Ye Zhong, forget it, forget it!" Su Yu, seeing this, felt a jolt in her heart. She quickly grabbed Ye Zhong's shoulder and whispered.

She had a good understanding of Ye Zhong's style. When possible, Ye Zhong didn't like to leave potential threats. Although Chu Yun had a significant background, Ye Zhong wouldn't take him seriously. If Ye Zhong wasn't careful, he might casually eliminate Chu Yun. If someone died within the sect, the responsibility would be a very troublesome matter.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was already extremely eye-catching, and Chu Yun also seemed to have a significant background. Their confrontation instantly attracted countless gazes. Some of the disciples who had been in the mission hall earlier had expressions of great interest.

If Chu Yun thought Ye Zhong was a soft target, this situation would be quite amusing.

Of course, many were skeptical of Ye Zhong's abilities. A person who had never appeared in the Star Constellation Sect suddenly becoming a disciple—how could anyone believe it?

At the moment, the incident at the City Lord's residence had been suppressed by some behind-the-scenes figures, and the news from the Xian Tian Holy Temple hadn't returned. When the name "Ye Zhong" was mentioned, many still saw him as the Ye Family's waste...
