Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: Rage of the True Man (Third Update, Summoning Monthly Tickets)

Meng Xinghun also knew that his ancestor was sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused, so he couldn’t help but ask again, "Is it enough to use the lightning tempering body? Should I ask Mountain Master Feng about it?"

"Don’t consult him," the ancestor stated bluntly, "That guy is even scarier than the Golden Core peeping around."

Meng Xinghun was startled, "There’s a Golden Core peeping around?"

"No malice, just curiosity," the ancestor dismissively remarked, "If not for the fact that I am left with only this remnant soul, I could easily handle two of those Golden Cores. But this Mountain Master Feng is truly terrifying."

Meng Xinghun curiously asked, "What’s so terrifying about him?"

"Intuition, perhaps. He can make this soul of resentment of mine scatter," the ancestor’s tone calmed, a sign that he was about to fall asleep, "That guy’s Spirit Beast Bag contains an incredibly strange and powerful presence..."

According to the previous plan, early the next morning, Tang Shixun and Su YuanJiang left with two lightning cultivators, and the place quieted down once again. Another day passed, and Elder Bai arrived in Lantern Town.

He had heard that Tang Shixun and Su YuanJiang had left, so he dared to come, for if those two were still there, he wouldn’t have had the courage to visit.

This time, he didn’t come alone; he brought an intermediate-level cultivator from the Ten Directions Platform, surnamed Hua, who happened to be an acquaintance of Kong Ziyi.

Cultivator Hua was somewhat helpless. He told Kong Ziyi that it was a request from a fellow disciple, "I’m only responsible for his safe travel back and forth, fellow Daoist Kong, you don’t need to consider my factors."

Elder Bai solemnly apologized to Kong Ziyi, saying that he had unintentionally offended Master Sumiao earlier and was willing to offer one hundred thousand Spirit Stones as an apology.

One hundred thousand Spirit Stones... that’s quite a lot, even for Kong Ziyi, but she stated that the punishment for disrespecting a master could not simply be brushed off with money.

Elder Bai raised the amount to two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, but Kong Ziyi still paid no heed.

Cultivator Hua said, "Since you two can’t reach an agreement, I’ll take him away today. How you handle it tomorrow is not my concern... is that okay?"

Kong Ziyi didn’t see this as a problem. Giving face to Ten Directions today, she could pursue the matter later without objection.

Just as she was about to agree, a three-foot-long white shuttle suddenly appeared in the air, directly smashing Elder Bai’s head, killing him instantly.

The shuttle fell to the ground and broke in two; it was originally a hairpin over three inches long.

Immediately, a cold snort came from the sky, "Bribery first, disrespecting a master second, and now not showing remorse. You juniors of Ten Directions think you’re very important?"

Cultivator Hua was so frightened that he continuously bowed, hurriedly answering, "I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. Reporting to the master, it was this person who wanted to apologize to fellow Daoist Kong, and I was entrusted by others. Among the brothers of Ten Directions, I was the only one to have met fellow Daoist Kong twice."

Because of her health, Kong Ziyi generally did not venture out of the Taiqing Sect, and she indeed didn’t have many friends among the four sects and five platforms.

"Seeing it’s your first offense, I’ll spare you this time," the voice coldly declared, "Remember this, Ziyi, some people only deserve one chance. The disciples of Taiqing bearing badges are not to be taken lightly!"

Kong Ziyi bowed respectfully in a certain direction, "Thank you, master, for the teaching. I understand my mistake."

A faint snort was heard, and then there was no more sound.

She then looked at Cultivator Hua, helplessly spreading her hands, "Fellow Daoist Hua, as you saw, it’s not that I don’t give face, it’s just that... my master is very angry."

Cultivator Hua wiped his cold sweat, nodding repeatedly, "I understand, I understand. I was also confused for a moment, meddling in such matters beyond my measure. It’s thanks to you, fellow Daoist Kong, for old friendships."

Kong Ziyi did not stand on ceremony with him, "Since the Peak Master is concerned, fellow Daoist Hua... would you mind passing a message to the Mingsha Fang Market, letting them handle it? You remember the charges against Elder Bai that master mentioned, right?"

The first charge against Elder Bai was bribery, showing that Master Sumiao was upholding justice — the Lu Family Brothers were bullying others in Mingsha Fang Market, which was indefensible for Elder Bai. Master Sumiao was responsible for market inspection.

So her actions wouldn’t be questioned; quite the opposite, the market should explain why, after so long, no resolution had been provided.

Cultivator Hua had little influence in Mingsha Fang Market, being a disciple of Ten Directions, he wasn’t obligated to pass messages. Kong Ziyi’s request was purely to help him salvage Master Sumiao’s impression.

Of course, Cultivator Hua understood that running an errand to avoid a Golden Core Master holding a grudge was very worthwhile.

With Master Sumiao eradicating a senior, chaos erupted in the market. Offending a master’s badge-bearing disciple and provoking a master’s personal intervention escalated the seriousness of the situation to an unprecedented level.

That evening, hundreds of cultivators in the market moved out, and all self-serving individuals above the Qi Refinement Realm in the Bai Clan were arrested, and their assets were frozen...

Feng Jun was a bit surprised: Master Sumiao was quite straightforward, showing her presence nearby like this.

Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to feign ignorance?

However, he also understood that Master Sumiao’s intervention was not just to punish the disrespectful, but also probably related to him—after all, he had treated Kong Ziyi once, and the effect was pretty good, plus he had established a foundation at White Pebble Beach.

So, with some instability in the Mingsha Fang Market, she helped settle it for him—why not extend a favor conveniently?

The efficiency of a master’s favor is extraordinarily high. Early the next morning, the market sent people to announce last night’s action and said there would be more detailed updates later.

Before the market’s people left, the Liu family who competed with the Duan family for the Lu residence also sent someone over. Another person of status came, expressing with great trepidation that Liu Yongjia had offended everyone, and they had ordered him to go out and wander for five years, not to return during that period.

This is effectively a five-year exile.

To a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refinement, going out to wander is common, but not returning for five years is quite unusual—people here have a strong sense of belonging to their clan, with peripheral marriages and funerals aside, there are annual ancestor ceremonies and clan meetings.

In addition to this, they also presented several gifts, not very valuable, just over a hundred Spirit Stones, but it was barely sufficient to express an apology—Feng Jun hired a master of Qi Refinement to fight, which cost no more than five hundred Spirit Stones per appearance.

Such level of minor conflict was resolved in this manner, of course, the relationship between the parties couldn’t become much friendlier.

On the third day, Tang Shixun came again, just as the market had initially tallied some unearned assets of the Bai family, the market decided to compensate Kong Ziyi with fifty thousand Spirit Stones, brought by Steward Gao, accompanying Tang Shixun to Lantern Town.

Fifty thousand Spirit Stones are neither too little nor too much, after all, Elder Bai intended to offer two hundred thousand Spirit Stones for leniency at first, and now the market only gave fifty thousand, which seemed a bit disrespectful to the master, but that’s just how it was. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Killing an intermediate cultivator of Qi Refinement vented anger, and also dismantled a clan, entirely destructively, furthermore the deceased was an elder of the market, of course, some benefits should be given to the market, and that’s called a win-win.

Kong Ziyi was busy cultivating and didn’t see Steward Gao, she simply asked Feng Jun to convey a message, "Don’t sell things cheaply in the auction this time... If the master gets angry again, I won’t be able to handle it."

Steward Gao patted his chest and stated, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep a close watch."

Tang Shixun returned this time to make payments and also to thank Feng Jun. He had reported this matter privately to the Wuwei Peak Master after returning from Thunder Plains to Taiqing, and mentioned that the Tianyao Peak side didn’t want it to be spoken about.

Wuwei Peak Master listened to the story and understood Master Yuanming’s meaning, but there was nothing wrong with people taking Tianyao Peak disciples for experiments—a theory to convince people, best have examples.

For Tang Shixun from his peak wanting to try it, Wuwei Peak Master also performed some divination, his divination skill at the Taiqing Sect was one of the best, and after calculating a round, he found indeed the "Yang Thunder Scripture" was more suitable for Tang Shixun.

Wuwei Peak Master divined several cultivation techniques, really exhausting him, and you know, though Wuwei Peak emphasizes wuwei, it means governing through inaction—small matters can be neglected, big matters must be considered.

So things inside Wuwei Peak aren’t many, but the divinations are especially numerous, making the Peak Master particularly tired.

Moreover, his divination skill was prominent in the sect, matters other peaks couldn’t handle, might as well seek him.

He told Tang Shixun, "When it comes to divining cultivation techniques, I’m far inferior to that Master Feng; in the future, for similar matters, just consult him, anyway maintain good relations with him."

Tang Shixun had a matter, always uncertain, "Please please, Peak Master divinate once more: should I cultivate at Lantern Town or continue to stay in the sect to cultivate?"

Wuwei Peak Master asked him strangely, "What do you mean? Why go to Lantern Town to cultivate?"

Tang Shixun’s reason was justified, "Over there I can ask Feng Jun to test and adjust my cultivation status aside from cultivating."

Wuwei Peak Master snorted indignantly, "You want to cultivate, shouldn’t you go to Mingsha Fang Market? Does Lantern Town have an advanced Spirit Gathering Array of Qi Refinement Realm?"

Indeed it didn’t, including the Spirit Gathering Arrays in Feng Jun and Kong Ziyi’s residence, at most suitable for intermediate Qi Refinement, advanced Qi Refinement can only restore some Spiritual Energy—high-grade Qi Refinement residence is just like that.

Residence where high-rank cultivators can cultivate is truly scarce. Generally speaking, high-rank cultivators practice, either in the cave or on the Spirit Land because they are the main force impacting the Golden Core, residences are only used when out, practicing in a residence is quite unnecessary.

If it were a Golden Core Master, that’s another matter Wuwei Peak Master referred to.

But Tang Shixun had also considered this issue, he had his ideas, "The residences of Mountain Master Feng and Sister Kong are equipped with Spirit Gathering Arrays suitable for intermediate Qi Refinement. I use Thunder Technique tempered with gold, starting with the intensity of initial Qi Refinement, and don’t need very high-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays."

Wuwei Peak Master first fell silent for a while, then snorted, "But your cultivation process, Taiqing also needs mastery, right?"
