Chapter 320: Chaos



Chapter 320: Chaos

In the entire Mountain Valley now, apart from the senior Foundation Building cultivators who had followed Wang Hong from the beginning, there were very few who dared to spar with Yang Tiezhu.

Wang Hong had heard about this and, seeing the expressions of the two people, had a rough idea of what was going on.

"You two can have a friendly match with her. After that, I'll give you a bottle of Spirit Wine, and if you manage to defeat her, each of you will be rewarded with a Green Spirit Peach."

Wang Hong was also curious to see how strong Yang Tiezhu had become.

Seeing that Wang Hong had spoken and there were rewards involved, even if they had to endure a beating, it was worth it for the two of them.

Both of them summoned their Flying Swords and took the initiative to attack Yang Tiezhu, deciding to strike first.

Yang Tiezhu, seeing the Western-style Flying Sword approaching, calmly knocked it away with her wolf-fang club.

The Flying Sword circled back and came at her from behind.

Without paying further attention to the Flying Sword, Yang Tiezhu lifted her wolf-fang club and charged towards the two opponents.

When the Flying Sword was about to reach her, she swung her wolf-fang club backward while charging forward, knocking the Flying Sword away once again.

Yang Tiezhu also had a technique that increased her speed.

By the time the Flying Sword made its third attack, she had already closed in on Daoist Zhang.

Under normal circumstances, if Yang Tiezhu got close, Daoist Zhang would have admitted defeat. However, today, driven by the promise of a Green Spirit Peach, he summoned a shield to resist a few more moves and create an opportunity for his companion.

When Yang Tiezhu reached him, she attacked like a wild tiger, pounding Daoist Zhang's shield with her wolf-fang club.

With each strike, Daoist Zhang and his shield were sent flying a dozen or so yards away.

By this time, their Flying Swords had reached her from behind, but a Light Shield appeared around Yang Tiezhu, blocking the attacks.

After a short while, Yang Tiezhu shattered Daoist Zhang's shield, causing it to break into pieces that fell to the ground.

They continued to battle for about fifteen minutes, giving their all for the Green Spirit Peach, but in the end, both of them failed.

"Not bad, but you'll need to compensate for a shield worth four hundred contribution points. Additionally, this wolf-fang club is worth five hundred contribution points. So, you'll have to pay a total of nine hundred contribution points."

Upon hearing Wang Hong's final calculation, Yang Tiezhu regretted her momentary impulse. She would have to pay contribution points again for breaking someone else's things.

Due to her frequent sparring and the damage she caused to others' possessions, she often found herself hoping for battles to earn more contribution points.

"East Master, I don't have enough contribution points right now. Can I owe you some?" Yang Tiezhu's face turned slightly red as she spoke, feeling a bit embarrassed.

At this moment, her demeanor was quite different from her wild appearance during the fight. It was only now that Wang Hong realized that she was also a female cultivator.

"I'll lend you my wolf-fang club for now, but you need to repay the contribution points for the shield right away," Wang Hong said. He didn't mind lending her the wolf-fang club, as long as she took responsibility for the damage she caused to others.

"Alright, thank you, East Master! I'll repay the contribution points I owe you as soon as possible," Yang Tiezhu said before leaving.

After Yang Tiezhu left, Ling Xue didn't follow her immediately but handed Wang Hong a wooden box.

"Uncle Wang, I've been learning how to make Spirit Meals recently. Please try this pastry I made and let me know how it tastes."

Ling Xue had been following Wang Hong since she was young, indulging in snacks. Perhaps influenced by this, she had recently started learning Spirit Meal preparation with some of the team members.

Wang Hong took the wooden box from her and smiled, saying, "Oh! Thank you, little Ling Xue, I'll give it a taste!"

"Uncle Wang, can you drop the 'little' from my name in the future? I'm already grown up!" Ling Xue requested.

"Sure! Sure! From now on, you can be called 'Big Ling Xue'!" Wang Hong teased with a straight face.

"That's even worse, Uncle Wang. How about you just call me 'Xue'er'?" Ling Xue blinked, glanced around, and whispered.

"Alright, I'll go with 'Xue'er' then," Wang Hong agreed. He opened the wooden box that Ling Xue had handed him, revealing a pink pastry adorned with flower petals, which looked quite appealing.

Taking the pastry in his hand, he took a gentle bite and found it to be decent but far from the level of his own creations.

"It's delicious, Xue'er. Your skills are improving! However, to make great Spirit Meals, you'll also need quality ingredients. I happen to have some good stuff here; you can take it and try."

Wang Hong pulled out more than ten wooden boxes from his Storage Bag, each containing various food ingredients he had collected.

Silently, Ling Xue packed all these wooden boxes into her Storage Bag.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang! I'll be on my way."

Watching Ling Xue's retreating figure, Wang Hong seemed to recall something, shook his head, sighed, muttered "kids," and then went back to his cultivation.

In the following period, Wang Hong used the substantial amount of Spiritual Objects he had obtained last time to nurture his subordinates. From the loot, which included dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills, he put them all up on the contribution points exchange list.

Soon enough, they were all claimed by his subordinates, who had already saved up their contribution points, eagerly waiting for Wang Hong to release Foundation Establishment Pills.

It wouldn't be long before he could recruit another batch of Foundation Building stage subordinates.

The previous group of Foundation Building cultivators had been practicing intensively during this period, sparing no effort with the raw materials. Now, three of them had successfully advanced to the second tier of Alchemy, while others in various professions like Talisman crafting and tool refining were also making official progress to the second tier.

As these subordinates grew, they rapidly depleted the inventory in the warehouse, turning it into popular finished products.

Everything in Mountain Valley was developing in an orderly manner.

However, the situation in the Cultivation World was far from optimistic.

In the vicinity of Azure Void City, due to Wang Hong's slaughter of most of the Treasure Hunters, there were still around a few hundred of them remaining.

These few hundred individuals had now formed several factions, each consisting of about a hundred people.

With the reduced number of Treasure Hunters and their consolidation into larger groups, the chances of encountering them when traveling had actually decreased.

Now, some bolder cultivators, unable to withstand the loneliness, were venturing out secretly.

All of this could be attributed to the East Zhou Trading Company, founded by Wang Hong.

The Ten Store Alliance in Azure Void City had learned about the East Zhou Trading Company's activities and secretly celebrated the fact that they hadn't offended the company in the past.

In the entire Cultivation World, the Treasure Hunter population in the vicinity of Azure Void City was the smallest and relatively low-profile compared to other regions.

Returning from the Boundary Mountain Range, the Flying Boat first headed to the Sect of the Golden Core cultivator they had on board.

However, upon reaching the Sect, they discovered that it no longer existed. They inquired and learned that about half a month ago, a group of several hundred Treasure Hunters had attacked the Sect.

They besieged the Sect for three days before finally wiping it out.
