Chapter 32 - Guan Yu, Courtesy Name Yunchang
The Spirit Stone Immortal was surprised. He never thought that the opponent"s easily made the decision. He wondered, "Aren"t you afraid i will run away?"
"Run away? You can give it a try, but i"ll promise you won"t be able to survive, i won"t even let you die!" Yue Qianchou sneered, then impatiently said, "Take your things out! I don"t want to say it for the third time!"
The Spirit Stone Immortal heaved a sigh, no matter how good the thing was, he didn"t think it was really important. When he thought about it, he had no way to es.p.a.ce. The Spirit Stone Immortal silently nodded and stepped on the collapsed wall. Yue Qianchou stared at him out of his cold eyes. Although he didn"t restrain his opponent, he maintained a certain degree of vigilance. He followed the man into the main hall, looked around, the daoist temple had no furnishings. There was only a big statue of a deity in the middle, Yue Qianchou couldn"t recognize who it was. A large meditation cushion in front of it attracted his attention. His eyelids twitched, is it hidden here?
The Spirit Stone Immortal heaved a sigh. Yue Qianchou stepped forward and grabbed the cushion on the ground. The former suddenly changed his facial expression. Oh! The cushion was torn apart, two items fell on the ground and the buckwheat flour inside was scattered. Yue Qianchou glanced at the Spirit Stone Immortal and slowly picked up the two items.
Shi Xiaotian also followed in this time. The viciousness of the Boss was deep remembered in his heart, but he didn"t know why the Boss was desperate. Seeing the two items that Yue Qianchou was playing with his hand and the reluctant look of the Spirit Stone Immortal, he wondered in his heart, "Boss went to live and die situation just to rob people?"
Yue Qianchou loked closely at the two items in his hand. These were a wooden sign and a jade slip. The ancient looking wooden sign was engraved with patterns. On one said it was engraved with the words "Immortal-Enchanting" and the other side was the portray of an island. The divine sense was released and Yue Qianchou felt a true Qi inside it. It was obviously infused by people. Needless to say this was definitely the so called command token.
The jade slip was carved with the words "Hundred Flowers Valley". There was also true Qi infused inside it. There was no special feature beside it. Not sure what this thing used for, Yue Qianchou stared at the Spirit Stone Immortal and asked, "What is this thing for?"
The Spirit Stone Immortal was heart-broken. He never thought that the things he had been hiding was discovered in no time. He thought that no one would pay attention to that cushion. Hearing Yue Qianchou"s question, he took a look at what the guy had in his hand then became a bit surprised. He asked, "You don"t even know the Hundred Flowers Valley?"
Is it a famous place? Yue Qianchou showed a questioning gaze toward Shi Xiaotian. The latter also shook his head and said he didn"t know. Yue Qianchou couldn"t help but retaliate, "I asked you or you ask me?"
The Spirit Stone Immortal lamented in his heart, he couldn"t win against the opposite party and heaved a sigh, he explained, "This is the Hundred Flowers Valley"s access token, which is the famous trading market for the cultivators of Huaxia Empire. As long as you got the money, you can buy almost everything there, you can also trade your possessions of the same value.
"Oh! That"s a really good place. This Hundred Flowers token, give it to me also," Said Yue Qianchou indifferently.
"Ah!" Exclaimed the Spirit Stone Immortal. "What do you want my Hundred Flowers token for? It"s just for the entry pa.s.s. Any cultivators who want to enter the Hundred Flowers Valley can register regardless their cultivations. It"s useless to use someone else"s token.
"So that"s it!" Yue Qianchou nodded and asked again, "What are the locations of the Immortal-Enchanting Island and the Hundred Flowers Valley?"
"I... You don"t even know this?" the Spirit Stone Immortal"s eyes widened, a bit stupified. He really doubted whether Yue Qianchou was a cultivator.
"What? You have a problem? Don"t you understand my question?" Although Yue Qianchou said those from his mouth, he also lamented in his heart that he was indeed lacking in experience. In the field of cultivation, he was a full-fledged rookie. Yue Qianchou stared at the Spirit Stone Immortal then exclaimed in his heart, "This guy is useful!"
"Oh...." The Spirit Stone Immortal didn"t say anything else, he only thought that the guy was right, why should he ask for nothing?
Yue Qianchou caressed his chin then thought for a moment. He said to Shi Xiaotian, "Xiaotian, I"m going away. What"s your plan?"
"Where are you going Boss? The Hundred Flowers Valley or the Immortal-Enchanting Island? I"m going too," Said Shi Xiaotian.
Yue Qianchou smiled, "There is only one command token, you go home first. When i get the Foundation Establishment pills, i will come to you. Rest a.s.sured, i won"t forget about you..."
Shi Xiaotian was silent for a long time before he finally nodded. "I understand, i will wait patiently. Boss, take care of yourself." The Boss walked out from the daoist temple followed by the two people behind him.
The Spirit Stone Immortal saw the boy lying on the ground and went to check. However, there was no more breathing, he had been kicked dead by Yue Qianchou. The Spirit Stone Immortal shook his head and heaved a sigh.
"Did he die?" Asked Yue Qianchou indefferently. The Spirit Stone Immortal nodded heavely. Yue Qianchou could see that the man wasn"t feeling sad. For cultivators, it wasn"t a big deal to kill a mortal in a fight.
Yue Qianchou took out the Hundred Flowers token. With a smile he stretched out his hand and said, "I"ll give it back to you."
The Spirit Stone Immortal glanced toward the Immortal-Enchanting Island command token on the other hand. He shook his head helplessly and reached out to take the Hundred Flowers token. Suddenly, his wrist was gripped tight. The hand that pa.s.sed the token withheld his wrist. The Spirit Stone was surprised, he angrily shouted, "You don"t keep your words...." Before he could finish his words, the scenery around him suddenly changed.
After pulling the Spirit Stone Immortal into the golden bead s.p.a.ce, Yue Qianchou laughed and released his grip. The Spirit Stone Immortal looked around and exclaimed, "Where is this? Get me out of here!"
Yue Qianchou shook his head, with a smile he said, "You should feel very honored, this is my site. Most people don"t have the fortune to come here."
"Unscrupulous b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you promised as long as i handed over my things, you would let me off, why would you imprison me again?" Shouted the Spirit Stone Immortal angrily.
"No, no, you"re wrong, don"t you think i did everything i have promised you?" Yue Qianchou waved his hand and smiled. "First, i only said that when you showed me your hidden stash, i won"t kill you. I never said that i would let you go. Look, you"re still living well. Second thing, You didn"t even show me your hidden stash. It was found by myself. When you think about it, you know i didn"t talk nonsense. So, even if i kill you now, it won"t break my promise."
"Twisting your own words, I"ll fight you!" Growled the Spirit Stone Immortal, he slammed his palm toward Yue Qianchou. The latter made a slight smile and his figure suddenly disappeared. The palm met the air, but behind him came a smirk, "I can kill you easily here, but you will have a hard time to do it to me. I advise you not to waste your energy.
The Spirit Stone Immortal shouted at him, turned around and fiercely slammed again. However, Yue Qianchou disappeared once more with a smile. They"ve done the same moves again and again, until the Spirit Stone Immortal seemed to think of something and exclaimed at Yue Qianchou, "Teleportation? Shouldn"t it be a technique only usable by the late Tribulation Crossing cultivator? This.... How could that be! Have you been hiding your cultivation... No! This is impossible!"
As the Spirit Stone Immortal said that, he was greatly alarmed, but when he calmed down, he was frightened. Whether or not the man had the ability to teleport, it was obvious to think that he really could get easily killed by him. Not to mention he had already lost during the previous confrontation. Thinking of this, his spirit plummeted and finally dropped his two hands. There was no longer a desperate idea.
Of course, Yue Qianchou wouldn"t tell the reason he could teleport to wherever he wanted here. With an inscrutable smile he said, "Well, knowing where to stop or not is the thing that the wise man possesses. Spirit Stone Immortal, take a look what"s over there..." Said Yue Qianchou as he pointed his finger toward the bag piled mountain on the side,
The Spirit Stone Immortal looked in the direction of the finger and looked suspiciously at Yue Qianchou. He walked over until he reached the foot of the bag piled mountain. Many of the scattered bags revealed bunch of spirit stones inside. As if no one wanted the things and just thrown randomly here.
"Isn"t this..... It"s a mountain of spirit stones?" The Spirit Stone Immortal was shocked, he had never seen so many spirit stones before.
Yue Qianchou suddenly appeared beside him, he smiled and said, "Yes, it"s all spirit stones. All of them are mine. Now you know that we both deserve to be called spirit stone immortal!"
"Erm...." The Spirit Stone Immortal was now throughly impressed, wanted to fight but lost, now even the wealth could crush him to death. The face revealing a trace of embarrased look, he smiled wryly and said, "Actually, my name is Ji Wushuang, after getting kicked out of the island, i occupied the Spirit Stone Temple, so people called me Spirit Stone Immortal." There were some words he didn"t say. After getting rid of the actual owner of the temple, he became the Spirit Stone Immortal.
Yue Qianchou had been staring at the facial expression of the other party. He was very satisfied with the result. He lacked the experience in the cultivation world and he really needed such a person to be his little brother. As for his broken things, he was too lazy to manage. Yue Qianchou frowned and said, "What Spirit Stone Immortal? Unparraleled Chicken, might as well be Unparalleled Duck![1] It"s hard to listen, i"ll change your name. I promise it will be better than now!"
"Change name?" The Spirit Stone Immortal was surprised.
"What? You don"t want to?" Shouted Yue Qianchou. The Spirit Stone Immortal silently shook his head, he didn"t say to agree nor disagree, but anyone would feel uncomfortable to have their name changed by other people.
Yue Qianchou stared at his slightly red face and a combination of long beard and moustache, he smiled and said, "You will be called Guan Yu from now on! Guan Yu, courtesy name Yunchang. Feathers over the mountain pa.s.s, as untouchable as the cloud, soaring to new heights, overlooking the horizon. What do you think of this name?"
"Guan Yu, Yunchang..." The Spirit Stone Immortal couldn"t figure it out why he had to take this name. He didn"t find anything special after a careful thinking. He asked wondering, "Why do you want me to take this name?"
Yue Qianchou made a bright smile, he performed a sword dance as if equiping the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, then he said, "Don"t you think this name is very powerful, very ambitious, very heavy right?"
The Spirit Stone Immortal shook his head and muttered, "I don"t get it, Guan Yu, how heavy can the feathers be?"
It seems that this guy isn"t satisfied! Yue Qianchou blinked his eyes and smiled. "As long as you promise to be called by this name, i will also guarantee that you will be able to reach the Foundation Establishment within ten years."
"Really?" Asked the Spirit Stone Immortal with bright eyes, he continued, "As long as you really give me a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment within ten years, i promise to change my name to Guan Yu. If not, i will naturally change it back."
"Haha... Deal!"
"Deal!" Both of them laughed together.
Yue Qianchou happily patted the guy on the shoulder and said, "Guan Yu, you"ll have to follow me! I promise you will live in prosperity, sooner or later even cultivate to Tribulation Crossing stage.." The Spirit Stone Immortal nodded with a smile, he wondered why the guy seemed so happy to change his name. Hey! Sure enough, some people have strange hobbies.
Yue Qianchou was feeling proud of himself. In his past life he couldn"t even count how many incense sticks he had burn for Lord Guang[2] and how many times he had smashed his head against the floor, the result was still hanging. Now, he was recruiting Guan Yu as his little brother. "It must be awesome to bring him out... No way! Give him a set of green robes and a green cap to wear, and then carrying a pole arm behind him. This way, he will give an awe-inspiring feeling, an intimidative look and power!" All the thoughts were poured in his heart.
