Chapter 61: Return to the Sect, Stirring Up Waves Once More!

  Wang Chen was unaware of the matter of Qingyun Gate. After leaving the residence of Zhou Lao in Weihua Village, Wang Chen quickly returned to Luoyun Sect.

  Luo Yunzong served as the Minister of Works.

  Wang Chen and Qian Lao sat on chairs tasting tea.

  "It's been a long time since I've had Old Qian's tea, it feels so nostalgic!" Wang Chen said after taking a light sip. Old Qian rolled his eyes and said: "You little brat really don't understand the situation, you haven't come back for so long, I thought you were dead! Last time I told you that the task of eradicating the demonic cultivators is not simple, it's best not to go, but you didn't listen, now you've suffered, huh!"

  Qian Lao's words of advice made Wang Chen feel a warmth in his heart, rather than annoyance. Only Qian Lao treated him with such sincerity, without expecting anything in return!

  Qian Lao said for a while, not seeing Wang Chen respond, and then said: "You little kid isn't thinking that old man I'm nagging, is he!" Wang Chen snapped out of it and hurriedly said: "Qian Lao treats his juniors like this, his juniors are happy but can't keep up, how could they think Qian Lao is annoying! Just now was just remembering my family was broken when I was young, no one cared about me, and I felt a little sad!"

  Qian Lao heard this and smiled wryly, then said: "This time you're back is good, but the contribution of your sect can't be taken back as much!"

  Wang Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he emitted a faint aura of sword energy, saying: "Qian Lao, what is the meaning of this?!"

  Qian Lao didn't hide it either, and told Wang Chen the whole story. At that time, Wang Chen and several others were working together with Fu Shu to severely injure and escape from the demonic cultivator. Later, Fu Shu was worried about his son's injuries and returned alone to ask the seniors of the sect to remove the corpse poison, so the matter of annihilating the demonic cultivator was naturally left for other disciples to complete.

  But this task has become a piece of cake, the demon repair annihilation task is actually completed, going to complete the task is just a trip, and then you can get a lot of spirit stones and guild contributions.

  As a result, some powerful Qi-refining cultivators in the sect scrambled for it. In the end, two Qi-refining cultivators competed for this task, one of whom was a Li surname cultivator who was a disciple of a Jindan period elder, and the other was a Zhang surname cultivator who was a disciple of a foundation-building cultivator with great potential to form a Dan.

  Now that the two monks have returned, the sect's contribution has been distributed. Wang Chen and Zhang Qi, as sacrificial offerings, naturally had no contribution value. Now that Wang Chen is back, it's only natural for the two monks to hand over a portion of the flesh they've already obtained.

  Qian Lao finished introducing and then told Wang Chen not to worry, with Qian Lao's connections, he could naturally get back some of his contribution points. Upon hearing this, Wang Chen nodded unwillingly, but the killing intent that flashed out was not escaped from Qian Lao's eyes.

  "Alright! It's settled then. You come with me and I'll help you get back your contribution points. When the time comes, don't say a word, just follow my lead!"

  Qian Lao reluctantly wrapped up this matter and the two of them left the Executive Pavilion.

  Qian Lao arrived at a mountain forest with Wang Chen in less than half a minute. Jumping off the treasure, Qian Lao's mind sank into a transmission talisman, and after a while, the transmission talisman transformed into a beam of light that entered the defensive formation.

  After a while, a young man in green clothes walked out of the formation. The young man saw Qian Lao and respectfully saluted: "I don't know what Master Shu has come here to instruct, but if you're looking for my master, it might be inconvenient. My master had some epiphany a few days ago and is currently in closed-door meditation trying to break through the Golden Elixir stage!"

  The young man said with a proud expression on his face, and Qian Lao also appropriately praised his master for being so powerful, and this time he must have succeeded in refining the elixir. After chatting, Qian Lao got to the point of this trip, and the young man's face turned red and white, but after all, Qian Lao was in the foundation-building period, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he finally handed over a contribution value of 1,000.

  The two left, and the young man began to scold loudly, "What kind of Foundation Establishment period senior is this, daring to bully me while Master is in seclusion? Wait until Master successfully refines his dan, I'll make you pay!"

  But he didn't think that breaking through the Golden Core stage would be so easy, and even if he did break through, would a Golden Core cultivator offend another Foundation Establishment fellow disciple for a disciple who hadn't even established his foundation?

  The young man scolded for a while, still not feeling relieved, and suddenly smiled slyly. He then threw out a transmission talisman, which disappeared instantly. The young man felt a little heartache over the high-grade transmission talisman, but also looked somewhat pleased on the surface.

  "My contribution points aren't that great, let's see how you guys get them from Li Shixiong!"

  The speed of the Sound Token is much faster than that of Qian Lao, let alone Qian Lao who has Wang Chen, a burden in the Qi Refining stage. After half an hour, Wang Chen and Qian Lao arrived at the foot of another mountain peak again.

  "This mountain peak is the private forbidden land of a Golden Dan period elder, wait a minute don't make any noise, we'll find that Qi Refining period disciple, I'm sure he won't dare not hand over his contribution points!"

  Qian Lao introduced the situation of Yun Tai Peak. It turned out that after each Jindan period cultivator successfully condensed their dan, the sect would reward a separate mountain peak as their own cultivation site. This Yun Tai Peak was the mountain peak of Li surname disciple's master, and Qian Lao's plan was to sneak in alone and meet with Li surname disciple privately. In this way, he wouldn't have his Zhi Ji period master present, and naturally would have to hand over some contribution value to Wang Chen.

  But Qian Lao didn't know that a moment ago, a message token had arrived at Li's cave mansion. After reading it, Li understood the general situation and then added oil to the fire, telling his master about it in detail.

  Things are going as expected. Qian Lao used a transmission talisman to smoothly summon the Li surname disciple, and the Li surname disciple naturally showed great respect to Qian Lao. However, this time the young man from the Li family refused to hand over his contribution degree no matter what.

  Qian Lao nagged for half a day, but Li Shao still insisted on his own views. Finally, Qian Lao lost patience: "This task was originally completed by Wang Shi's nephew, and you, Li Shi's nephew, are embezzling the wealth of your fellow disciples. Do you know that?"

  "Qian Shidi, what kind of talk is this? You actually took advantage of my absence to bully a junior! This is not something a master should do!" As Qian Lao spoke, a middle-aged cultivator walked out of the Dongfu, and from his tone, it was clear that he was a foundation-building period cultivator.

  Qian Lao saw that the cultivator's words were not good, but he still forced himself to say: "Senior brother, this is not right. The task of eliminating the demonic cultivators was indeed completed by senior brother, and Wang Shixiong also made a great contribution. Previously, I thought Wang Shixiong had unfortunately fallen victim to the demonic cultivators' poisonous hands, so I gave up the contribution points. Now that Wang Shixiong is safe and sound, shouldn't the contribution points be returned?"

  The middle-aged cultivator sneered, "Is that so? Wang Shidi has such great abilities, but that's not certain! Young people should go back and live a peaceful life, otherwise, who knows when they'll fall into the hands of demonic cultivators?"

  Qian Lao's face darkened with anger upon hearing such a blatant threat, but thinking of the other person's power, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. It seemed that this time's contribution was going to be in vain!

  "I'm not so capable, and Li Shixiong is even less capable!"

  Wang Chen could no longer bear it, his sword intent solidified, and from then on, he would never suffer such humiliation again. Facing the threat of his Foundation Establishment stage master uncle, he replied loudly.

  "Haha, you're really arrogant! You think my apprentice isn't as capable as you?"

  Ji Qi period repair master smiled, his face turned cold. Qian Lao saw the situation and hurriedly stopped Wang Chen: "Master brother don't be offended, Wang Shizun doesn't distinguish between light and heavy, often offending people!"

  Ke Wang Chen this time however declined Old Qian's good intentions, saying loudly: "I myself acknowledge that my skills are far superior to those of your disciples, and the contribution value should naturally belong to me. If you're not convinced, dare you fight me?"

  Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator's face turned even colder. A small Qi Refining cultivator had actually dared to lose his face like this. If he didn't handle this matter properly, he would definitely become a laughing stock among other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

  "Alright, as expected you have guts. I accept your challenge on behalf of my disciple. Let's meet at the Life and Death Arena in ten days!"

  Ji Qi period Shu Shi finished speaking, took his disciples and turned away.

  Qian Lao saw this, shook his head and sighed, pulling Wang Chen to leave. As they were about to fly out of the Luo Yun Sect on their flying swords, Wang Chen finally noticed something was off and insisted that Qian Lao stop.

  "Qian Lao, where are we going?"

  Wang Chen asked in doubt, Qian Lao suddenly became angry after hearing it.

  "Didn't I tell you before not to make a sound? I used to think you knew when to advance and retreat. Now it seems that you are also extremely foolish. Do you know what the challenge ten days later means? The Life and Death Platform is not easy to enter, and your Foundation Building period is really unknown how many items will be left for your disciples to clean up after you! You don't even know the severity of it, all kinds of talismans, treasures, divine thunder and so on, any one of which can take your life?"

  Qian Lao started talking and didn't stop for a moment, very annoyed at Wang Chen's previous actions. Wang Chen heard this and suddenly laughed: "Even so, his disciples can't beat me!"

  Hearing this, Old Qian became even more indignant and furious.

  "You'd better get out of here as soon as possible, the farther the better, it's best to go to another country. Otherwise, you won't even know how you'll die. From now on, be careful when going out, like this challenge, even if you win, you'll still lose face for your Shifu, and your Shifu will definitely not forgive you. You'll even offend the cultivators of Yun Tai Peak, where will you have a place to stand in the sect from now on?"

  After listening to Qian Lao's words, Wang Chen's heart was moved despite his tough temperament. Wang Chen also knew that Qian Lao had no chance of getting the Golden Elixir and held a low position in the sect. If he let Wang Chen go this time, his future situation would be even more difficult. However, Qian Lao still taught Wang Chen patiently and gave him various talismans and spiritual stones before leaving.

  "Qian Lao, this challenge isn't that severe. As long as I win this life-and-death arena, in another year it'll be the sect's grand competition. At that time, if I can get into the top twenty and obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, successfully establish my foundation, and with my age find a Golden Core period backer, it won't be too difficult!"

  "Besides, even if I don't succeed in laying the foundation, it won't be a big deal when the time comes to leave. Otherwise, if I leave now, I'll never have another chance to lay the foundation in this lifetime!"

  Wang Chen's statement about his relationship with Lai Hai was reasonable, and Qian Lao felt that at such a young age, he had already established a foundation for success. Wang Chen would certainly become the focus of cultivation in the sect, and even Yun Tai Feng wouldn't dare to openly make things difficult for him. Moreover, Qian Lao didn't want Wang Chen to be stuck in the Qi Refining stage his whole life, so after repeatedly instructing and reminding him, he finally let Wang Chen return.
