Chapter 62

As long as there are classes, there will be struggles.

In the Qingling Mountain, the atmosphere was generally harmonious, and these issues would not have become major problems. However, the words of Zhang Shixiong and others were completely overheard by the outer disciples standing nearby.

Such insults naturally caused great dissatisfaction among some people. A loud cry immediately stirred up the crowd, making the situation tumultuous.

However, in the small square, there were instructors and stewards. After a period of commotion, they came out to defuse the situation and persuaded many people to leave.

An inner disciple from the previous session sneered, "A real man, if he can't stand it, should just go to the Grievance Elimination Platform. Why bother with all this chatter and bullying the weak with the strong?!"

Qingling Mountain most abhors the killing of fellow disciples, but where there are people, there is a江湖 (jianghu). There are always some knots that are hard to untie, and the Grievance Elimination Platform is the place to resolve these issues.

The original intention of the sect in setting up this platform is that two people face each other openly and honestly. Regardless of their past, after a battle, all grudges and enmities must be completely resolved and not mentioned or entangled with again. Otherwise, there will be severe punishment according to the rules of the sect.

The cultivator surnamed Zhang, after receiving guidance from a high-level expert, suddenly realized and then stared at Chu He, saying, "Do you have the guts? Go to the Grievance Elimination Platform! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know what 'heaven and earth' means."

Chu He rubbed his nose again, secretly cursing him as a fool, and softly replied, "Since you've said it, it seems I have no choice but to accept the challenge. But, I have a bad habit; I always think about the rewards when I do something. What's in it for me if I beat you?"

Fighting you for no reason, it's a waste of effort and not worth it. I might as well go back and refine some pills to earn spirit stones. As for being bullied, hey, do you think I'm a three-year-old? These tricks are as childish as playing in the mud. Chu He thought to himself.

"Ha ha ha! Beat Senior Brother Zhang?!"

"Is this kid crazy?"

"I'm dying of laughter!" ...

Luo Wu and others burst into laughter again, as if they had heard the funniest joke of their lives.

"Without profit, I won't get up early. I won't accompany you. You rich kids have nothing to worry about, unlike me, a low-level spirit farmer, who has a lot to do." Chu He stretched lazily and was about to leave.

"Wait, if you win him, this high-quality spirit cultivation jade will be yours." Luo Wu took out an item and said.

The jade was crystal clear and radiant, with a restrained luster, clearly not cheap. Since it can soothe the heart and spirit and can be worn for a long time, it is more expensive than ordinary high-quality magical tools.

"Is this something a distinguished young master of the Luo family can take out? Even what I wear is a level higher than yours." Chu He was unimpressed, pulling the thin red string around his neck to reveal a purple jade slightly smaller than an egg.

The jade seemed to be surrounded by a halo, with purple mist swirling inside, emitting gentle light that was very soothing to the eyes. The moment the others saw it, they felt a sense of peace and tranquility. The jade Luo Wu had taken out was dazzling, but compared to this purple jade, it was like a chicken next to a phoenix, the difference was clear.

Luo Wu's pupils constricted: It's a high-quality purple field warming jade, and its quality is even better than the one Luo Xuyu tricked Wu Hai into giving him. Could this be a treasure-grade warming jade? A treasure jade!

In an instant, Luo Wu felt as if his heart had been cut by a blunt knife, extremely uncomfortable, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood. Instantly, he had transformed from a rich and handsome man to a poor and shabby one in front of the other party, and the sarcastic remarks made him feel the difference that was unbearable for most people.

Chu He watched Luo Wu's face with interest, from the initial pride when he took out the jade, to the embarrassment when it turned red, and finally the anger when it turned pale. He was already overjoyed inside: Stupid guy, if I take out all the good things I have, it would be enough to scare you inner disciples who have your eyes on your butts.

Seeing Luo Shixiong's expression, even his dull companions knew he had lost face, and they fell silent. Suddenly, the poor and shabby man turned into a rich and handsome one, which made their limited brains freeze for a moment.

"Oh, is Senior Brother Luo okay? If there's nothing, I'll leave first." Chu He gave him a heavy blow.

"Wait, add this medium-grade Wood Spirit Thunder Treasure Talisman." The Senior Brother Zhang gritted his teeth and took out a talisman from his storage ring.

The talisman was light green, with a faint treasure light, and had dense Wood Spirit patterns that slowly rotated along a trajectory, with each movement accompanied by hidden electric threads.

A medium-grade treasure talisman, when activated, can release a Wood Spirit Thunder with the power of a high-stage innate realm strike and can be activated three times. On the market, it is much more expensive than the jade Luo Wu took out.

This talisman was very attractive to Chu He. After all, Chu He was proficient in the release of talismans, and having a treasure talisman in hand could significantly increase his combat power.

Seeing the greenish light flash in the other party's eyes, Zhang Shixiong was slightly startled. He also felt smug: You peasant, you're in the trap now, watch how I deal with you.

"Wait, I'll think about it." Chu He did not immediately agree but took out the Qianji Jade and sent some information.

"Add my high-grade flying sword." That Gu Ge also called out.

"Add mine..."

"Add this..."

Unexpectedly, Chu He's hesitation made the others act like a beehive, quickly taking out their good things, afraid that the temptation for Chu He was not enough.

Seeing this, Chu He immediately felt a sense of happiness: These are all pure spirit stones. If I win this match, I will earn at least tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, which would save me a lot of hard work. These rich and handsome guys, let me, on behalf of justice, punish your arrogance!

Then, the Qianji Jade transmitted a message. Chu He looked at it, smiled, and said, "Alright, I'll go to the Grievance Elimination Platform with you. Remember, if I win, I take these things!"

At the mention of winning, Luo Wu and others laughed for a while again.

Luo Wu snorted and replied, "Deal, but I'm afraid you won't have the chance to win!"

"Wow!" The onlookers immediately cheered when they heard someone was going to the Grievance Elimination Platform.

It seemed that it had been a long time since anyone had agreed to go to the Grievance Elimination Platform. Such a physical confrontation to resolve grievances was the favorite of the onlookers.

The Grievance Elimination Platform is on Lingyun Peak, managed by the Punishment Hall, about two peaks away from Lingge Peak, not far.

Chu He and Luo Wu and others went down the mountain, and the square also returned to calm.

At the corridor in front of the Scripture Pavilion, which was much higher than the square, two instructors stood on the left, having come out upon hearing the commotion.

The middle-aged man retracted his gaze and said leisurely, "Young people these days are really impulsive." Then he turned to his companion and asked, "Old Wu, who do you think will win?"

The old cultivator beside him smiled and said, "The spirit farmer."

The middle-aged man also smiled and said, "It seems you haven't been out for a long time and don't know what's happening in the sect. The spirit farmer's opponent not only has a high-grade spirit body but is also a direct disciple of the Great Elder. His cultivation is three levels higher than the spirit farmer. I don't believe he will lose. Old Wu, your eyesight has declined."

The old cultivator "oh"ed and did not respond again.

But in his heart, he thought: Humph! As long as the little guy wakes up in time, all these direct disciples are just dog shit.
