Chapter 77

Ye Zhong tossed the spirit value token in his hand, extremely satisfied with the 200,000 spirit values he had just obtained.

Luo Long, though not very powerful, was Lü Fan's elder brother and had a more generous financial situation than Lü Fan. Although Ye Zhong's financial situation had already eased up after squeezing Lü Fan, he still wouldn't refuse more spirit values.

"Thanks."

After squinting for a moment, Ye Zhong waved his hand, wiped the spirit value token clean, and threw it to Luo Long. Then, as if remembering something, he turned to Wang Mo and said, "By the way, Wang Mo, return those spirit value tokens to our Senior Brother Luo Long. Otherwise, he came to stand up for me, but not only did he fail to get anything back, he also lost 200,000 spirit values. That would be too embarrassing. We are fellow disciples, so we shouldn't push things to the extreme. We should always leave a way out, right?"

"Ye Zhong! You—"

Luo Long's face changed, and he was about to turn and leave. However, when he saw Wang Mo grinning and tossing over a dozen spirit value tokens, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and catch them. No matter how embarrassing this was, he didn't want to miss this opportunity. Spirit value tokens were extremely important to the Star Constellation Sect disciples and could not be lost.

"Senior Brother Luo Long, I won't see you off. And I welcome you to come and cause trouble for me. As long as you bring enough spirit values, I guarantee I won't kill you. Please—" Ye Zhong bowed slightly, with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Luo Long's face changed rapidly. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and couldn't say anything harsh. Instead, he turned and left directly.

Watching Luo Long retreat in a sorry state, Ye Zhong sneered. If this weren't the Star Constellation Sect, he wouldn't have wasted so much time with these people and would have killed them outright.

The surrounding Star Constellation Sect disciples watched Ye Zhong with strange expressions.

"Amazing!"

After a long while, many sighed and slowly dispersed, their expressions complex.

Ye Zhong didn't care about their opinions. As long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't do anything special. For Ye Zhong, the most important thing now was cultivation. No matter what he wanted to do or how he planned to return to the Three Thousand Divine Realms in the future, he needed sufficient strength.

After signaling Wang Mo to continue his cultivation, Ye Zhong headed towards the Spirit Medicine Hall.

On the way, many Star Constellation Sect disciples watched Ye Zhong with strange expressions. Clearly, although Ye Zhong had only been in the Star Constellation Sect for a month, he had won all three of his battles, which left a deep impression on many of the sect's disciples. Especially today, Luo Long's defeat was completely unexpected.

"Ye Zhong, you bastard!"

As Ye Zhong reached the edge of the Elephant Mountain Square, a sudden, delicate shout came from behind him, followed by a fragrant breeze sweeping over him.

Almost instinctively, Ye Zhong's right hand reached behind him. The touch was smooth, making his heart flutter slightly.

"You... you... you are shameless!"

In the delicate shout, Ye Zhong quickly turned around and saw a green-dressed girl's long legs swinging towards him. His right hand had accidentally grabbed her ankle, which, though smooth, made the girl's face flush with anger and embarrassment.

The girl had an oval face, delicate features, and wore a green dress that was captivating.

"Have you had enough?"

Seeing that Ye Zhong had no intention of letting go, the girl said angrily.

"Are you Xiang Qiyu?"

Ye Zhong frowned slightly and released his right hand. If he hadn't reined himself in, he might have already taken advantage of her.

"I know you are Xiang Qiyu! I heard you are very powerful, having obtained the inheritance of the Innate Saint Temple and received many benefits! But now you are a big shot and even refused to see us! Do you remember the things you promised us?" Xiang Qiyu huffed and shouted at Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong frowned slightly and, after a moment, remembered that he had promised the three girls who had followed him that day to let them study the inheritance of the Innate Saint Temple after he succeeded. However, he had forgotten about it after being busy with cultivation in the Star Constellation Sect.

At this moment, many people on the Elephant Mountain Square were watching this direction. Ye Zhong had already gained a significant reputation recently, and Xiang Qiyu was also well-known in the Star Constellation Sect. Therefore, their small dispute attracted many curious gazes.

"Qiyu, did this guy bully you? If so, I'll teach him a lesson!" A young man with a fair complexion stepped out from the side. His eyes flashed with a passionate look as they fell on Xiang Qiyu's well-proportioned figure.

"Hey, I know you, Ye Zhong. Although you are powerful, my brother is an inner sect disciple, ranked much higher than you. If you dare to provoke my woman, I'll make you pay!"

"Yang Fang, it's none of your business that I'm talking to Senior Brother Ye Zhong. Besides, he and I are... are... are that..." Seeing the young man step out, Xiang Qiyu frowned slightly and then walked up to Ye Zhong, grabbing his arm and smiling sweetly.

"Huh, that's Yang Fang. Isn't his brother Yang Hao an inner sect disciple?"

"Is there going to be another show?"

Many Star Constellation Sect disciples watched this scene with strange expressions. Ye Zhong seemed to have a talent for getting into trouble.

Ye Zhong frowned slightly, looking at Yang Fang's suddenly extremely gloomy face and Xiang Qiyu's suddenly radiant smile. A cold feeling rose in his heart.

Although Ye Zhong knew that Xiang Qiyu was likely trying to avoid Yang Fang, her actions made him less favorable towards her. He had no interest in getting into trouble with an inner sect disciple for her sake, even though he wasn't afraid of the so-called inner sect disciple.

"Ye Zhong, it's one thing for you to attack Senior Sister Su Yu, but to also attack Junior Sister Xiang Qiyu, are you not afraid of dying?" Yang Fang looked at Ye Zhong, almost driven mad with jealousy.

"Get lost." Ye Zhong glanced at Yang Fang indifferently, then pulled his arm away and looked at Xiang Qiyu, "Come to my courtyard later, and I'll have Wang Mo copy a spirit technique for you."

After saying that, Ye Zhong walked directly towards the Spirit Technique Hall, having no interest in wasting time with these people.

"Fine! Ye Zhong, you are really something! Don't think that just because you defeated Luo Long, you can do whatever you want. I'll make you pay. You—"

Yang Fang glared at Ye Zhong and shouted angrily.

"Slap—"

Before he could finish, Ye Zhong casually slapped him, sending him flying.

"Shut up."

A calm voice echoed, shocking everyone. Clearly, no one expected Ye Zhong to not only ignore Yang Fang but also show no respect for Yang Hao. It was unclear whether he was truly confident or simply fearless.

Surprise flashed in Xiang Qiyu's eyes. Although she had previously cooperated with Ye Zhong and knew that her inner sect senior brother was incredibly powerful, she didn't expect Ye Zhong to be so strong.

"Senior Brother Ye Zhong, how about I treat you to a meal today? I..." Xiang Qiyu now seemed to have forgotten that Ye Zhong had grabbed her ankle and smiled sweetly as she leaned in.

"No need." With Ye Zhong's cunning, how could he not see through Xiang Qiyu's intentions to use him as a shield? He didn't like her behavior. Besides, they didn't have a deep relationship. If he had known Xiang Qiyu's character back then, he wouldn't have cared about their lives in the Innate Saint Temple.

"Also, after you get the spirit technique copied, our cooperation ends. We don't owe each other anything." After taking a step, Ye Zhong seemed to remember something and turned back to say, then walked away.

Xiang Qiyu was slightly stunned, sensing that her little schemes had been completely seen through by Ye Zhong.

In the Spirit Medicine Hall, various spirit medicines floated in crystal-like bubbles. Ye Zhong's gaze swept over them but didn't find the Yin-Yang Flower he was looking for.

However, this was within his expectations. The Purple Wood Spirit Root was relatively easy to find, but the Yin-Yang Flower was extremely rare and could only be found with great fortune. Therefore, it was normal not to find it in the Spirit Medicine Hall.

However, the Yin-Yang Flower was essential for Ye Zhong. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the counter.

"Yin-Yang Flower?" The girl behind the counter frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then shook her head, "We used to have it in the Spirit Medicine Hall, but you came a bit late. Now, getting the Yin-Yang Flower might not be as easy as you think."

Hearing this, Ye Zhong frowned slightly. However, he was determined to get the Yin-Yang Flower. After a moment's thought, he took out a spirit value token and casually transferred 1,000 spirit values to the girl.

Seeing Ye Zhong's cooperation, the girl smiled and then narrowed her eyes, speaking softly, "Elder Ling Wei from the Spirit Talisman Hall took the only Yin-Yang Flower a few days ago. Although I don't know what he needs it for, you might have a chance if you try your luck with him."

"Also," seemingly in appreciation of the 1,000 spirit values, the girl hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "Elder Ling Wei has a peculiar personality. It might be difficult to get anything from him, but he likes to gamble. Perhaps you can try that approach."

Hearing this, Ye Zhong nodded and walked out of the hall.
