Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2141 - 2097: The Surprised Sutra Pavilion Elder
Previously on Peach Blossom Divine Medical God...
Chen Yang explained, "Last time in the mountains, I encountered Cang Lao, that’s how I know."
"Oh, I see, you’re quite lucky. You’ve only been here a few days and already met the dean. Many students have been here for a year and haven’t seen Cang Lao yet." Fu Jinbao smiled slightly and said.
Chen Yang merely smiled and didn’t say anything.
But in his mind, he recalled the scene from that day in the mountains.
Cang Lao promised benefits, asking the nine major forces to help him obtain the Beast Spirit Fire.
Such a grand scale didn’t succeed, but instead, the little monkey escaped with the Beast Spirit Fire, giving him an unexpected gain.
Was it fate? Or was his fortune truly so extraordinary?
"Manager Fu, the appraisal is done; the total is four thousand three hundred contribution coins."
As Chen Yang was pondering, the attendant who had taken the items for valuation returned.
In front of Chen Yang, he spoke of the quote from inside.
"Brother Chen Yang, are you satisfied with this price?" Fu Jinbao asked Chen Yang with a smile.
This time, Chen Yang didn’t negotiate the price.
Because the items this time were roughly worth that, and he wasn’t concerned about a little more or less. Besides, he considered it a consulting fee for Fu Jinbao.
"Alright, it’s acceptable."
Chen Yang nodded directly and agreed.
"Great, brother, you’re straightforward." Fu Jinbao was overjoyed and quickly stood up, arranging the four thousand three hundred contribution coins for Chen Yang.
His demeanor seemed as though he was afraid Chen Yang might change his mind.
"Alright, Brother Chen Yang, your contribution coins have been transferred. If you have good items in the future, feel free to bring them over. I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory price." Fu Jinbao said with a smile.
Chen Yang hadn’t originally thought he’d been shortchanged.
But seeing Fu Jinbao’s radiant expression, he felt as if he had lost a fortune.
He didn’t feel good about it.
But the deal was done, and the money was given.
There wasn’t much else he could say, so he simply nodded and agreed before leaving the Treasure Pavilion.
"Fighting Fierce Monkey... Purple Demon Fierce Fire..."
On the way out, Chen Yang’s mind was still filled with the little monkey’s species and the Beast Spirit Fire it carried.
It wasn’t that he coveted the Beast Spirit Fire on the little monkey, but he just felt that the Spiritual Fire was extraordinary, and so was the monkey’s background.
If it stayed by his side, would it bring big troubles?
One must know, just for this little creature, Cangnan Academy invested so much manpower, resources, and financial power?
Until they find it, they probably won’t easily give up.
"Let’s see how it behaves; if it listens, it can stay as a risk, but if it doesn’t, it’s better to just send it away." Chen Yang mused.
If the little monkey obeyed, he wouldn’t mind protecting it.
But if it didn’t accept discipline, there wasn’t much point in keeping it around.
One can’t just pamper it and treat it like an ancestor because of its special species.
He wasn’t that kind of person.
Having left the Treasure Pavilion, Chen Yang didn’t choose to return to his cave residence; instead, he went directly to the Sutra Pavilion.
The Sutra Pavilion was rather empty, only the squinting elder guarding the place.
The elder’s realm was unknown, giving off a very mysterious vibe.
He always lounged with eyes closed in the rocking chair, but before you even approached, he already knew you had arrived.
"Heh heh."
Noticing Chen Yang’s arrival, he immediately chuckled.
"You’ve come. Are you here to return the breathing technique?"
The elder asked.
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Yang was taken aback. He looked around and, seeing no one else, confirmed that the elder was talking to him.
"Elder, no." Chen Yang stepped forward and greeted respectfully, before responding casually.
"Then why are you here? As a newcomer, your free visits have been used up. If you wish to enter the Sutra Pavilion again, you must pay two hundred contribution coins."
The elder still didn’t open his eyes and said.
"I’m here to have a look around." Chen Yang answered casually.
"Just have a look?" Hearing this, the elder, usually calm, wasn’t so calm.
He opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yang, saying, "Merely looking also requires contribution coins, two hundred each time."
"Alright, I understand the rules." Chen Yang nodded and, without further ado, swiped his jade token.
Two hundred contribution coins were deducted.
The elder was somewhat taken aback.
He remembered Chen Yang because he was the first to enter the Sutra Pavilion as a newcomer but only picked up a breathing technique.
At that time, he thought Chen Yang was simply wasting an opportunity.
After all, the chance to enter the Sutra Pavilion for free was precious to newcomers.
It required two hundred contribution coins.
If one didn’t do tasks, it would take two months to save up for one visit.
As a newcomer, it seemed a waste for Chen Yang to lose that opportunity. Quite regrettable.
Yet unexpectedly, on his second visit, Chen Yang readily swiped two hundred contribution coins, surprising him.
"Where did you get so many contribution coins?" The elder couldn’t help but ask.
From what he remembered, Chen Yang had been in the academy for less than half a month.
Generally, students in the academy for such a short time are still busy familiarizing themselves with the academy rules, insufficiently capable of earning contribution coins.
That’s why he was so astonished by Chen Yang’s wealth.
"Got some good stuff from the Ferocious Beast Forest and exchanged it at the Treasure Pavilion." Chen Yang didn’t hesitate to answer honestly.
Ferocious Beast Forest?
Treasure Pavilion?
The elder paused for a moment then smiled and nodded, understanding.
"So that’s the case. You’re quite capable, daring to enter the Ferocious Beast Forest so soon after joining the academy." The elder smiled kindly, with a tone of admiration.
"Heh heh, thank you for the praise, Elder." Chen Yang smiled politely and replied.
He then entered the Sutra Pavilion.
But once inside, he found it peculiar.
Reasonably, as a Fourth Region student now, the second level of the Sutra Pavilion should be accessible.
Yet upon entering, he realized the second level wasn’t open.
Today, he intended to explore the second level to find some useful cultivation techniques and materials.
He knew too little about the Mystic Realm.
He wanted to seize the opportunity to learn more.
Seeing the second level closed, he immediately left the Sutra Pavilion and headed to the entrance.
"Why did you come out again?" The elder at the door seemed surprised seeing Chen Yang again.
Chen Yang greeted respectfully, then said, "Elder, the student wishes to go to the second level, which you have not opened for me."
"Second level?" The elder was puzzled, then said, "Don’t you know the rules of the Sutra Pavilion? Each floor corresponds to a respective region; only those from the Fourth Region can enter the second level."
The elder didn’t recognize Chen Yang, only remembering his face.
Thus, he wasn’t aware Chen Yang had become part of the Fourth Region.
"Elder, I understand the rules, I am already part of the Fourth Region, which is why I’m asking you to open the second level." Chen Yang responded earnestly.
"What? You’re already in the Fourth Region?" The elder was startled, his gaze toward Chen Yang shifted.
"Yes." Chen Yang didn’t elaborate further, instead directly handing over his jade token for the elder to see.
This was the quickest way to prove he was from the Fourth Region.
The elder took the jade token and, seeing it was indeed a Fourth Region token, was astonished.
Then, seeing the contribution coin balance below, he was even more shocked, unable to close his mouth.
Eighteen thousand contribution coins!
