“Lin Changge, are you looking for death?!”
Hong Ye’s pupils were filled with rage as he rushed to Lin Changge, gritting his teeth, “You know there are distinguished guests in the Pavilion, yet you dare to cause trouble here. Do you think the Ye family can protect you?”
Lin Changge sneered, “Manager Hong, you owe my Ye family two Medicinal Pills and have been delaying giving them. You forced me to come here to ask for them. If this gets out, whose face will be lost?”
“I told Ye Hongtian that I would give them in a few days…”
“Shut up!”
Hong Ye was about to argue, but Lin Changge interrupted him directly, “You clearly heard that the Chen and Liu families would target my Ye family in the Ling Array Competition, and you thought my Ye family would surely be destroyed, which is why you wanted to renege on this debt!”
“Tongtian Pavilion has a thousand years of reputation. Could it be that it will be ruined by your hands?”
These words were decisive and resounding.
Hong Ye immediately became anxious, “Brat, you’re trying to extort me. You’ve probably picked the wrong place. Men, take him down!”
Numerous guards attacked simultaneously.
“If you don’t give it, then we fight!”
Lin Changge entered the crowd with a cold face, throwing punches continuously, and his overbearing brute force instantly erupted, crushing everything.
Any guard who touched his fist had their bones broken and were sent flying far away.
“Human Spirit Realm, Tenth Rank?”
The black-clothed girl showed surprise. She looked up at the middle-aged man, “Second Uncle, is this the Hidden Realm you mentioned?”
The refined middle-aged man’s expression hardened, “I’ve only seen records of it in historical texts. I didn’t expect anyone to actually Cultivate this Realm. Then the previous Heaven And Earth phenomenon was most likely him, not Ye Yan!”
“He seems to have a lot of resentment towards your Tongtian Pavilion.”
The black-clothed girl curved her lips, “Aren’t you going to ask?”
Whoosh!
The middle-aged man leaped down, his figure moving like a graceful wave as he arrived in the arena.
At this moment, Hong Ye was about to act personally when he suddenly saw the middle-aged man’s figure, and his expression immediately turned fearful, “Seventh Pavilion Master, you don’t need to worry about such a small matter…”
“Tell me, the whole story.”
The middle-aged man looked directly at Lin Changge, “If you are in the right, I will never be biased!”
Lin Changge raised his head neither humble nor arrogant, and explained how Hong Ye had used tactics to buy Spirit Ore at a reduced price, and how he later reneged on the two Medicinal Pills, constantly delaying payment.
The middle-aged man glanced at Hong Ye, seemingly waiting for him to retort.
Hong Ye’s face flushed red, and he couldn’t utter a single word for a long time.
The middle-aged man smiled knowingly and slapped Hong Ye across the face.
Afterward, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his hand, smiling gently, “It’s my lax discipline that allowed a subordinate manager to do something so damaging to our reputation. How about this, the Spirit Ore will be returned, and the agreed-upon Medicinal Pills will be considered compensation.”
Lin Changge was startled. Hong Ye was the manager of Tongtian Pavilion in Tianyin City, a powerful Earth Spirit Realm Sixth Rank Cultivator, yet this middle-aged man actually slapped him just like that.
Combined with the previous address, the other party’s identity was obvious.
Seventh Pavilion Master!
The head of Tongtian Pavilion in Yuan Country, with more than ten branch pavilions under his control.
Hong Ye quickly took out the contract and two Rank three Medicinal Pills, lowering his head to apologize, “Young Master Lin, it was my greed. Please forgive me!”
“Thank you, Seventh Pavilion Master!”
Lin Changge could feel that the other party seemed to be intentionally showing goodwill. He cupped his hands, “I have caused much trouble today. I bid you farewell!”
“Wait.”
A figure leaped down from the second floor, it was the black-clothed girl.
Her features were exquisite, and she exuded a heroic aura. She held a precious blade in her arms, “You are the first Genius I’ve seen who has Cultivated a Hidden Realm. I’d like to spar with you!”
Lin Changge looked directly at her, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Just as the black-clothed girl frowned, Lin Changge said earnestly, “I’m very poor, I lack money and resources. If you want to spar with me, you can. Bring out some Spirit Pills, Spirit Medicine, and Heaven And Earth Treasure, and I’ll agree to fight you!”
Hong Ye was stunned, the Seventh Pavilion Master’s eyes widened, and even the black-clothed girl was shocked.
“Did I hear that right?”
The Seventh Pavilion Master was utterly astonished, “This kid is openly asking Fang Ning for resources? Who doesn’t know Fang Ning’s personality? She’s more of a miser than anyone!”
“I’m poor too.”
The black-clothed girl refused, “I can’t provide resources, but I really want to spar with you!”
“I’ll provide them. You spar with her, and I’ll give three hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine and ten Rank two Medicinal Pills.”
The Seventh Pavilion Master smiled. Fang Ning was the number one Prodigy of Fengxuan Sect, her cultivation had reached Earth Spirit Realm Third Rank. In the entire Yuan Country, few could compare to her.
The first Sect in Yuan Country was Tianhuo Sect, and the second was Fengxuan Sect.
The two sides were sworn enemies, locked in an endless feud.
For so many years, they had been at odds.
The Seventh Pavilion Master was clearly looking forward to seeing who would be superior in a fight between Lin Changge, once famous in Tianhuo Sect, and Fang Ning.
“Are you a Sword Cultivator, or a Body Cultivator?”
Fang Ning raised an eyebrow, “If you don’t use a blade, I won’t either.”
“Let’s use them.”
Lin Changge said, “Counting it, I should be a Dual Cultivation of Saber and Body!”
Whoosh!
Fang Ning didn’t waste words either. She instantly drew her blade and struck, a terrifying light carrying immense pressure, forming a sharp Saber Qi that tore through space.
Lin Changge’s expression was solemn. The pressure was overwhelming, like a suffocating tide.
Is this what a Prodigy is like?
Boom!
Lin Changge’s eyes were sharp. He slammed his palm onto Fang Ning’s blade, deflecting it.
After one move, both sides’ fighting spirit was ignited.
The two figures clashed, Saber Qi soaring into the sky. Lin Changge activated the Seven-Chi Profound Steps to dodge, but the opponent seemed to see through everything. Wherever the Saber Qi passed, it made Lin Changge extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing himself about to enter a desperate situation, Lin Changge flicked the blade with his thumb, then gripped it tightly. The Slaying Heaven Blade unsheathed and struck, meeting Fang Ning.
Accompanied by the clang of metal, their figures crossed, and both retracted their blades.
Lin Changge looked down and saw that the clothes on his shoulder were cut by Saber Qi, and his own strike had also landed on Fang Ning’s waist.
“A draw?”
Hong Ye was shocked.
He knew Fang Ning’s talent well. After months of secluded cultivation, she was probably about to soar to new heights.
Yet, Lin Changge could actually fight her to a draw?
“No, Fang Ning didn’t use her full strength.”
The Seventh Pavilion Master looked deeply at Lin Changge. Even so, it was enough to prove how terrifying Lin Changge was.
He hadn’t even entered the Earth Spirit Realm yet!
“My Realm is higher than yours, so this fight isn’t fair. When you enter the Earth Spirit Realm, we’ll fight again.”
Fang Ning put away her blade, and her gaze towards Lin Changge held a hint of appreciation.
There weren’t many people she acknowledged.
“Then I’ll trouble Miss Fang to wait a couple more days.”
Lin Changge took the Cultivation resources from a servant, “We’ll fight again after the Ling Array Competition ends.”
Fang Ning was surprised, “You mean, after the Ling Array Competition ends, you’ll be able to enter the Earth Spirit Realm?”
By then, there would only be two days left, right?
To make such a bold statement right after Cultivating a Hidden Realm, was it confidence or arrogance?
Lin Changge nodded, “Indeed!”
“Alright, since you said so, what’s a little wait!”
Fang Ning also became interested.
“Young Master Lin, take this token.”
The Seventh Pavilion Master stepped forward and handed over a golden token, “With this token, no Tongtian Pavilion would dare to neglect you.”
“Gold?”
Hong Ye’s eyes widened.
Tongtian Pavilion’s tokens, from low to high, were divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the legendary Violet Gold token. Different token Ranks symbolized different statuses.
For example, there were a hundred Bronze tokens in Yuan Country, all for important guests.
There were no more than ten Silver tokens in Yuan Country. Anyone holding one would be treated as an honored guest in any branch pavilion and had a credit limit of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
As for the Gold token…
This was the only one in Yuan Country.
Not only did its credit limit reach a million, but it also enjoyed high discounts.
One must know that the Ye family’s annual income was only one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
“Thank you, Pavilion Master.”
After receiving the Gold token, Lin Changge bid farewell to the others, pulled up his hood, and walked out of Tongtian Pavilion.
As soon as he stepped out, he heard an arrogant taunt from outside—“Ye Qinghan, all the Cultivation rooms in Tongtian Pavilion today have been reserved by this Young Master. If you kneel and kowtow, this Young Master might consider giving you one!”
