Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 53: Leaving The Sect

Although he knew that his disciple deserved it somewhat as he was still too immature, at least she could hold back a little. It’s not like the sword and badge will run away.

The Spirit Peak Elder sighed inwardly, but still went back to the stage as Hao Ran was already in the hands of specialists.

"The winner of the Foundation Establishment realm is Jiang Hao. Battles for second to tenth place will be held now. Due to serious injuries, Hao Ran won’t be competing for any positions."

When others heard that, they couldn’t help but sigh at the irony. Hao Ran wanted to become the top disciple, now he won’t even be placed in the top 10.

If he only accepted Jiang Hao’s position, he would have easily gotten second position. In fact, if he hadn’t babbled all that nonsense to Jiang Hao, he might still be in fighting condition to do so. But he had to go put his hands in a hornet nest.

After speaking, Spirit Peak Elder handed Jiang Hao his sword and a special badge. It was also silver, but was bigger than his current badge with No. 1 engraved on it. He put the badge in the storage bag and used his spirit Qi to clean his sword before putting it inside too.

He went back to his seating area and found that the man he had seen earlier had already left. He also knew that the reason she had made the decision of making him top disciple was because of the slip she had gotten from this man.

When he arrived, Huan Caiyi stood up and beckoned him to come close to her. He nodded and came to her.

She put her hands on his shoulders and he saw the world around him blur. Before he could even think what was happening, they arrived outside a pavilion. It was the treasury where he got his sect robes.

What a terrifying speed. He couldn’t help but feel amazed at this display. It was the first time he had travelled this fast. He wasn’t even able to see his surroundings, and he also didn’t feel any air around him when he moved.

Elder Huan had already entered the treasury so he followed. He again saw the old man sitting there with his eyes closed.

"Give me your new badge."

Jiang Hao understood that she was asking for his top disciple badge. So, he took it out and gave her that.

She went and threw the badge at the old man who seemed to be sleeping with his eyes closed.

As the badge was about to hit the old man in his face, it disappeared.

"Sigh... why do you always act so brazenly?"

"Really?... then old man, why do you always act mysteriously? It doesn’t suit you."

"Cough... what are you talking about? Forget it, why are you giving me this badge?"

"I am just here to redeem my disciple’s reward for 1 year."

"Hmm... I see, it sure is a very important issue that you have to come here yourself to do it."

"You are right, it is very important. After all, my disciple’s small storage bag might not be able to hold 100,000 spirit stones, so as his master, I decided to help him hold it for the time being. Isn’t I am the most considerate master ever?"

"Hm... 100,000 spirit stones truly is quite a huge amoun— wait! 100,000!!! What are you talking about, are you out of your mind?"

"You know, Supreme Elder said the same words before I explained him the calculations. Looks like you guys only grew older but never learnt to do calculations. Even kids nowadays are capable of them. Fine, I will explain again. So, listen carefully."

"Carefully my foot, I am not falling for it and don’t compare me with that senile old man."

"Calm down old man, it’s not good for your health."

"Of course my health will turn worse if someone took 100,000 spirit stones from the treasury."

"Look, I don’t have time to chit chat with you. So how about you just listen to what I have to say, after that you can decide what to do."

"Fine, come out with it. I will listen, but don’t even think I will accept this outrageous request."

Huan Caiyi smiled when she heard that.

"Good, then tell me, how many spirit stones does a Foundation Establishment realm top disciple get per month?"

"500 spirit stones."

"And how was it decided?"

"It was decided by how much resources they might need to cultivate in a month."

"Hm... then old man, tell me why aren’t you considering the same for my disciple? Or is it that it’s his fault that he has a special physique which consumes at least 10 times more resources than normal cultivators? Do mind I said at least, it can be even more than 10 times, but I am quite considerate about the sect’s financial issues so I am only asking about 10 times.

And if the sect can’t even provide him his guaranteed reward, then are you telling me that Mountain Sword Sect is incompetent in even nurturing a supreme genius? It will be really disappointing if the news got released. Would any genius even want to join Mountain Sword Sect then?"

He was thoroughly stunned when he heard all this. His expression looked like he had just swallowed a bitter pill.

Now, he really regretted his decision to listen to her babbling. She had always extorted them one way or another and this time again she came with a reason which he couldn’t refute.

She even indirectly blackmailed him with that last statement. He gritted his teeth and spoke weakly.

"Fine, I can allocate him 10 times the reward but even then it will only be 60,000, why did you ask for 100,000?"

"Glad you asked. I was just going to explain to you about it. Tell me, what else do we give our disciples with that badge?"

"Special training grounds, to help them cultivate better."

"Yes, special training grounds. But what has it got to do with my disciple? You do know physiques don’t follow normal rules of cultivation, right? So, if he can’t enjoy the expensive training grounds of the sect, isn’t it only logical to compensate him in spirit stones? And believe me, I did calculations and it came to about 50,000 spirit stones."

"No, I don’t believe you."

"Ok then let me break it up f—"

"Shut up, I am going to bring your 100,000 spirit stones, spare me of your calculations."

He gritted his teeth and went back to collect the spirit stones.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but become speechless again. He had just seen a next level of extortion that was so logical that even he couldn’t find any fault in it.

The old man was quite sure that he wouldn’t listen to her, but it didn’t take long enough for him to change his decision.

Jiang Hao shook his head and gave sympathy to the old man in his heart.

After 5 minutes, the old man came with 4 storage bags.

Huan Caiyi smiled and was about to take those storage bags when the old man took them back.

"Put them in your storage bag here, I am not giving you the storage bags."

"Che... don’t worry about it, I don’t need your low-quality storage bags anyway."

She took out her storage bag and gave it to him. After she got all the spirit stones, she looked at the old man seriously. When he saw that, he couldn’t help but speak.

"What? Count them, they are a total of 100,000. You think I will go back on my words after saying it? I am not as shameless as you are."

"It’s not about that old man. Be prepared, they are coming."

She said this in all seriousness. The old man became quiet.

"You have enough knowledge about these matters, unlike other elders and the Supreme Elder, so warn them."

"So, it has come to this after all. Well, you don’t have to worry about it, they are called righteous sects for a reason. They won’t attack us unless necessary, after all, they have an image to uphold."

"Fair enough. Just tell others to cooperate with them on whatever they ask, don’t hide anything about us, we leave for now."

"Finally, the sect will live in peace. Leave, don’t come back again."

"Ahem... listen old man, since we are leaving, how about you loan me so—"

"Get lost you villainess, don’t even think about it."

"Fine, fine, we are leaving. What else can you expect from a poor stinky sect. Top three my foot."

After saying that, she grabbed Jiang Hao and disappeared, but Jiang Hao was still able to hear the last rebuttal of the old man.

"We became poor after you arrived and extorted us, you shameless woman."

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but agree with that statement. If Huan Caiyi always extorted them like this, then it was definitely a truth which cannot be denied.

They arrived at Alchemy Peak. Huan Caiyi looked at him and asked.

"You must have guessed it, right?"

Jiang Hao nodded. When he heard her conversation with the old man, he already understood everything.

What they were expecting to happen is beginning, people from the central region are coming for him.

Since he had already expected this to happen in the near future, it wasn’t too surprising for him.

"They will take around 1 month to arrive in the Eastern Region if they use normal way of teleportation, exception can happenn. We still have some time, but it’s always better to be careful.

You guys are too weak right now. Unless forced, it will be better to avoid any battles or it won’t be possible for us to protect you two while escaping.

So, to avoid these unnecessary troubles, we will leave right now."
