Chapter 42: Yu Xiao Gang Published His Masterpiece—He Trusted Himself, Not Pills!
Ning Fengzhi and the others were not at all surprised by the hostility between Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. They simply watched on.
As long as they did not make a move now, they would not be openly opposing Spirit Hall... This ensured they did not offend Spirit Hall while also preserving the unity of the Upper Three Sects.
Offend neither side.
"Ten million Golden Soul Coins. Yu Yuanzhen, if you've got the guts, keep bidding!"
Bibi Dong's provocative words enraged Yu Yuanzhen. It was only ten million Golden Soul Coins. If ten million could help his son become successful, it would be worth it.
"Hehe, is the mighty Spirit Hall only brave enough to offer ten million Golden Soul Coins?"
"Twelve million!"
Yu Yuanzhen declared boldly. Looking around at everyone present, he felt immensely pleased with himself. The Upper Three Sects stood united—I refuse to believe Spirit Hall would dare make a move!
Bibi Dong smiled faintly. "It's yours."
Bibi Dong clearly had no intention of bidding again. If she raised the price and that old dragon suddenly backed out, it would not be worth the loss. Knowing when to stop was best. Twelve million was already a great deal.
Not to mention, would the Shadow Hall Master really let Yu Xiao Gang obtain it so easily? Bibi Dong knew that useless Yu Xiao Gang was on bad terms with the Shadow Hall.
Xu Xin gave Bibi Dong a slight nod. They had suckered him once; that was good enough.
Make money, then take back the pill too. Hehehe... I really am too wicked.
"Any further bids?"
Xu Xin's deep voice rang out again as he calmly looked over the crowd below. After a while, no one spoke up.
"Since no one else is bidding, this Mysterious Water Pill belongs to Sect Master Yu."
"Sect Master Yu, payment and goods shall be exchanged at the same time."
Xu Xin spoke slowly.
Yu Yuanzhen did not hesitate. He directly tossed out a black card. "This is a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect card. There are twelve million on it."
After receiving the card, Xu Xin tossed it straight to Ning Fengzhi. "Sect Master Ning, please verify whether it is genuine."
Ning Fengzhi took a glance, nodded, and tossed the card back. "It's genuine."
Having received Ning Fengzhi's confirmation, Xu Xin did not waste words. He had a Ninja Soldier hand the Mysterious Water Pill to Yu Yuanzhen. "Sect Master Yu, you had best inspect it. Once the transaction is complete, regardless of any accidents, we will not be held responsible!!"
Xu Xin spoke coldly, then snapped his fingers. In an instant, twenty Claw Shadow Soldiers emerged from the darkness, and the pressure of Title Douluos bore down upon everyone.
It was as though they were warning them that anyone who dared cause trouble would die.
After all, twenty Title Douluos could wipe out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect with ease.
Ning Fengzhi and the others all drew sharp breaths. What a powerful Shadow Hall!
It seemed the continent's balance of power was about to change. From now on, the Shadow Hall would undoubtedly become a formidable force.
We must befriend the Shadow Hall. Aside from the Clear Sky Sect, this thought surfaced in the minds of every other faction.
Yu Yuanzhen froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile. Only now did he understand just how powerful the Shadow Hall was. Would such a powerful force deceive him?
Impossible.
Yu Yuanzhen happily accepted the pill, though he still examined it closely just in case. The energy radiating from the Mysterious Water Pill startled him. This was definitely real!!
Xiao Gang, you're finally no longer useless.
Yu Yuanzhen was ecstatic.
"Everyone, farewell!"
Yu Yuanzhen did not linger. Leaving quickly was what mattered.
No one tried to stop him. Instead, they began purchasing pills.
This time, Xu Xin had put out many kinds of pills: ones that increased cultivation speed, ones that enhanced Soul Power, and many more varieties.
Naturally, most of them were low-grade.
Meanwhile, after leaving, Yu Yuanzhen hurried back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
"Men, go bring the young sect master back. Hurry!"
Yu Yuanzhen immediately gave the order.
At the same time, the useless young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was presently leaning against a large tree outside Spirit City, filthy and bedraggled, his body covered in wounds.
"Damn Spirit Hall! Once I win over your Holy Maiden, I'll destroy Spirit Hall!!!"
Yu Xiao Gang spoke coldly, his eyes filled with venom. He had been reading peacefully when he was suddenly beaten up and thrown out.
Damn Spirit Hall, all of you should die! You actually made a master like me end up on the streets? Heh heh, good, very good. Since that's how it is, don't blame me.
Yu Xiao Gang hardened his heart. He was going to publish his masterpiece. As long as the knowledge in his head spread across the continent, I, Yu Xiao Gang, will become famous throughout the land.
"Hehe, Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall. Refusing me, Yu Xiao Gang, is your loss."
"Don't blame me!"
Yu Xiao Gang sneered relentlessly. Having made up his mind, he was not worried in the slightest. He was a man of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect; all of this knowledge belonged to him.
What did his own knowledge have to do with Spirit Hall?
How could a scholar's affairs be called plagiarism?
Holding his tattered book, Yu Xiao Gang gathered his thoughts and limped toward Coconut Grove City.
The people Yu Yuanzhen had sent eventually found Yu Xiao Gang at the gates of Coconut Grove City.
"I'm not going. I already said that I'm no longer a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
Yu Xiao Gang spoke firmly.
He claimed he would not return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, yet shamelessly continued using its name to get things done. That was so like Yu Xiao Gang.
"Th-this... Young Master, the Sect Master said you must return no matter what. It concerns a matter of great importance!"
The messenger spoke carefully, afraid of offending this lord. Though he was useless, who told him to have such a good father?
"I'm not going. If there's nothing else, leave. Stop following me."
As Yu Xiao Gang spoke, he walked into Coconut Grove City without another thought.
The messenger paused before turning around and returning to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. This sort of matter was better left for the Sect Master himself to handle.
Tie him up and bring him back? That Trash Gang would mutilate himself. When that happened, he would be the one in trouble.
After thinking it over, he decided to forget it.
"So, you're saying that unfilial son refuses to come back?"
Yu Yuanzhen looked as though he hated that iron could not become steel. That unfilial son, that unfilial son! After roaring inwardly for a while, Yu Yuanzhen tried his best to calm himself.
"Give him this pill and tell him to take it. Don't ask anything else. Just make sure he takes it."
Yu Yuanzhen ultimately compromised. His son... it was all that damned pride of his. Everything else about him was fine...
This time, his son would finally succeed.
At the thought that his fine son would soon return and eventually inherit the position of Sect Master, Yu Yuanzhen was delighted.
After the servant left, he found Yu Xiao Gang once more. "Young Master, the Sect Master asked me to give this to you. He said you should take it. There's a surprise."
Yu Xiao Gang seemed to be writing something and did not even raise his head. "Leave it there. You can go now. Don't come bother me unless it's important!!"
I, Yu Xiao Gang, will soon shake the entire continent with my name!!
After setting down the pill, the messenger immediately left without lingering for even a moment.
This man was truly difficult to serve!
Yu Xiao Gang suddenly glanced at the bottle of pills. "Heh heh, a bottle of pills. Father, Father, when did you become so superstitious?"
"Unfortunately, there are no pills in this world that can cure me!!"
He was still grateful to his father, but he had read so many books that he had long known there was simply no way to cure himself.
There was no need to take this pill!
When his old father asked later, he could just say that he had taken it.
