Chapter 20 Got Played

  Today's first update~~~

  Wanruo Sheng was precisely looking for Zhang Chong because of this "Qu Fa Fu". Throughout history, the talismans refined by cultivators were far superior to those refined by demon cultivators.

  Now that the cultivators of the Yang realm have been destroyed, the first situation to emerge is that the prices of talismans and elixirs are rising linearly.

  Even so, some symbols are still in short supply, such as the "Qu Ge Fu" symbol. The aftermath of a great war will take a long time to slowly fade away, and this also means that when the Yang world enters a chaotic era. In this era, families with slightly more money will prepare some "Qu Ge Fu" symbols at home, in order to relax their tense nerves slightly.

  The price of the "Anti-Fatigue Talisman" directly skyrocketed to twice its original value, reaching a price of 10 second-grade crystal stones per piece. At this price, one could only buy the "Anti-Fatigue Talisman" refined by demon cultivators. The "Anti-Fatigue Talisman" produced by immortal cultivators was even more expensive, but it was nowhere to be found.

  Because at this time in the Yang realm, there is no place for cultivators to stand, who would be so foolish as to come here and sell talismans?

  However, the symbols given to Wan Ruosheng by Zhang Chong, although made of extremely poor materials, were already superior in effect to those refined by demon cultivators and immortal cultivators, with little difference between them. This also led to Wan Ruosheng selling those few paper symbols at a high price of eleven second-grade crystal stones.

  Yan Ruo Sheng, in the Changsheng Gate, although his strength is not considered too high, only at the sixth level of divine power, but his cleverness is among the best in the Changsheng Gate. As for being stingy, he claims to be second in the Changsheng Gate, and no one dares to claim first place.

  Zhang Chong was tightly wrapped in Wan Ruo Sheng's arms, although he wasn't clear about the situation outside, but under Wan Ruo Sheng's passionate display, he had already guessed that Wan Ruo Sheng must have made a huge profit, which is why he was so enthusiastic towards him.

  Everyone is bustling about, all for the sake of gain; everyone is crowded together, all for the sake of profit. In the end, it's still all about those two words: crystal stones.

  However, this also opened a door to wealth for Zhang Chong, who couldn't go out. Moreover, Zhang Chong also understood that as long as he was a disciple in the Changsheng Gate, it would never be wrong to get along well with Yan Ruofei.

  At this time, he also said with some difficulty

  "This 'Rejuvenation Symbol', I actually still have some, but these were all bought from a senior with six second-grade crystal stones. Moreover, my cultivation also relies on this 'Rejuvenation Symbol'."

  After listening to Zhang Chong's words, it was as if Sheng had secretly scolded him in his heart. With your current strength, you've already reached the last rank. What else is there to cultivate? It's just a waste of money.

  But still smiled and said

  "Since you have this connection, why don't you just tell me where this senior is staying? I'll go look for him myself and won't bother you anymore."

  However, he did not know that this so-called senior was actually Zhang Chong, and all of these were fabricated by him to cover up the fact that he could refine talismans. As for asking him to lead the way, where would he go? Besides, as a new disciple, he was not allowed to leave the sect within a year.

  He tactfully conveyed to Wan Ruosheng that his senior didn't want to see anyone else except him.

  But Wanruo Sheng heard this and said,

  "Alright, how many of those 'Anti-Fatigue Charms' do you have left on your hands? I'll take them all for the price of six second-grade crystal stones. Additionally, I'll give you an extra day off every month, and you can leave the Longevity Gate to go find that senior and get more 'Anti-Fatigue Charms'."

  This condition, suddenly made Zhang's heart move extremely, he also smiled and took out all the "Qu Fa Symbols" from his body, counted them, and found that there were as many as sixty-nine.

  In his view, Wan Ruosheng's condition was a very good thing for him, because being trapped in the Longsheng Gate, he had no place to buy these materials. This way, he would soon be unable to refine paper talismans anymore. And with one sentence from Wan Ruosheng, it became clear that he had great power within the Longsheng Gate, and also made him very interested in making friends with this person.

  Two people, one slap, sixty-nine pieces of " Qiufa Fu", calculated, the price is four hundred and fourteen second-class crystal stones. In Zhang Chong's view, this is no less than an astronomical figure, and it is also the most crystal stones he has seen since he was fifteen years old.

  However, Zhang Chong silently swallowed his saliva and looked at Wan Ruo who took out four third-grade crystal stones and fourteen second-grade crystal stones. He only took the four third-grade crystal stones and said,

  "Wan Ge, these dozen or so crystal stones are a small gift from me to you as a token of our meeting. Thank you for supporting me in this matter."

  Yan Ruo saw Zhang Chong being so generous and was overjoyed, so he didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it. When they parted ways, he made a fist and said:

  "Farewell for now, if you need any help from me in the future, just give a shout."

  Zhang Chong sent off Wan Ruosheng, but in his heart, it felt like he was dreaming, with a somewhat ethereal and uncertain feeling. In his hand, he held the three-piece crystal stone that he had never seen before in his life. Moreover, just now, he was still calling someone who was at the level of a divine power "brother". All these things were beyond what he could have imagined before, but they were happening in reality.

  He heavily patted his own forehead, confirming that he was not dreaming. Then, he placed his hand on his lower abdomen, feeling the "Sleep Dream Heart Scripture" quietly lying within his body. It was this book that allowed him to start learning how to refine talismans and also changed his life.

  What will this book bring him after all? He vaguely felt that it was very likely to be an unexpected, broader road.

  There is also that pale green storage ring, and that nonsense, yet knowledgeable old man. It was these few things that were changing the trajectory of his life bit by bit.

  "Could it be that from now on, I'll be relying on these few things to no longer let the world play me, but instead play with this world?" Zhang Chong muttered to himself, filled with endless anticipation, and returned back into his room.

  Three months passed quickly, and on this day, the elimination match that Tu Bo had mentioned began. The rules were simple: after a comprehensive ranking, those ranked below 1,000 would be randomly divided into 500 pairs to compete against each other. The winners could stay, while the losers could go home.

  At the same time, a competition among the top 200 is being held. The rules are simple: one-on-one matches, and the winners of these matches will become the first batch of inner disciples, with even a chance to participate in next year's Devil Clan's Genius War.

  Due to this factor, this time's trial, the master of Changsheng Gate, Tingfeng Luoshen, also came to the trial venue.

  Zhang Chong was unexpectedly selected into the team of one thousand people who needed to participate in the elimination match to decide whether they would stay or leave. When he walked listlessly to the matchup roster, he was suddenly stunned.

  The person he faced was extremely familiar, it was precisely the iron tower-like Broken Sky.

  Isn't Po Tian ranked first on the Power Rankings? In any case, he should be among the top hundred. Zhang Chong thought to himself, and when he turned his head around, he saw Po Tian's sturdy figure and laughing face.

  At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had been deceived.

  At the same time, on-site personnel have begun interpreting the rules:

  "To promote the martial spirit of our Longsheng Gate, all disciples participating in the competition are not allowed to concede voluntarily. Those who violate this rule will be severely punished."

  "Zhang Chong," at this time, Shi Wenlong and Liu Sheng also ran to their front, the two of them, including Xiao Tian, were all within the top 100, naturally they went to participate in the competition for inner disciples.

  And they also learned about Zhang Chong's situation and immediately came over to express their concern.

  "I've asked, this rule that doesn't allow voluntary surrender was newly added this year. Its purpose should be aimed at you. In the arena, life and death are on your own shoulders, so be careful this time."
