Chapter 371: The Slaughtered Fat Sheep Arrives at Mountain River Academy
Azure Realm.
“Aquifer, Divine Bridge, Other Shore, Spiritual Sense, True Self, Fate Lamp, bl**d Transfer, Bone Exchange…”
A stunning woman was carefully reading an introductory cultivation book.
Accompanying her were three others.
Watching Su Wan’er, who had just begun her cultivation journey, Qian Ya couldn’t help but speak.
“Xuanzi, is it a bit late to start Wan’er on cultivation now?”
Upon hearing Qian Ya’s words, Su Wan’er looked somewhat dejected.
Since childhood, she had been protected by her fate, or more accurately, she had been unable to do anything at all.
Now that her Fire Poison had been resolved, she wanted to do something, like keeping up with everyone else.
As for what she would do after keeping up, Su Wan’er hadn’t decided yet, but she must keep pace with someone.
“Don’t say things you don’t understand.”
Facing Qian Ya’s words, Chen Changsheng cast her a glance and said lightly.
“The road of life is extremely long, and sometimes going too fast isn’t a good thing.”
“Going a little slower can yield unexpected benefits.”
In response, Qian Ya put on a smiling face and said, “What Xuanzi said is certainly correct.”
“What I mean is, since Wan’er has just started cultivation, she may not pass the Mountain River Academy’s test.”
“Who says she can’t? Do you know what the Mountain River Academy’s purpose is?”
“To cultivate strong individuals!”
“Wrong!”
“The purpose of Mountain River Academy is to pave the way for cultivators all over the world.”
“The methods of cultivation we use today have been painstakingly developed by countless sages step by step.”
“Time continues, and the path of cultivation also goes on.”
“If no one keeps clearing the path, where would all these techniques and secret arts come from?”
Hearing this, Qian Ya pondered for a moment and asked, “So what do you want to express, Xuanzi?”
“What I want to express is that Mountain River Academy’s admissions are not based solely on strength; they also value talent.”
“As long as there is a skill beyond just cultivation, gaining admission to Mountain River Academy isn’t a difficult task.”
“Besides, you are from the God of Wealth lineage and manage the Wanbao Pavilion; even if Wan’er fails, getting two spots for you shouldn’t be a big deal, right?”
“Hehehe!”
“If you say it like that, then Ya’er is convinced.”
“I can’t guarantee the inner court spots, but the outer court should be fine.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng turned to Su Wan’er nearby.
“Keep your head down and focus on your book; don’t pay attention to her words.”
“Your talent may not be the very best, but it’s not bad either; at least it’s better than hers.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wan’er nodded and replied, “Elder Brother Changsheng, rest assured, I will work hard.”
Initially, Qian Ya felt a bit unconvinced by Chen Changsheng’s words, but after a moment’s thought, she quickly let it go.
Su Wan’er had just entered the cultivation world and genuinely needed encouragement.
And Chen Changsheng saying that wouldn’t diminish him; if he offered a bit more praise, saying a thousand times wouldn’t be overboard.
…
Time passed bit by bit, and the day of the Mountain River Academy’s admissions drew closer.
On the day before the admissions, Chen Changsheng and the others finally arrived at the location.
The wide street was crowded with people, including members of the Human Clan, Divine Clan, Demon Clan, and even Beast Clan, which is not found in the other eight realms.
“Gentlemen, would you like to experience Mountain River City’s unique flying demon beasts?”
A lecherous middle-aged man with two mustaches stopped Chen Changsheng.
Looking at the lecherous man, Chen Changsheng said flatly.
“With so many people around, you only stop us.”
“Don’t tell me it’s because you think we’re fated to meet.”
Hearing this, the man with the mustache laughed and said, “I have a little insight here; my judgment isn’t entirely off.”
“You gentlemen clearly look like you’re here for the Mountain River Academy entrance exam, and you’re quite curious about the surroundings.”
“This indicates that it’s your first time in Mountain River City.”
“My flying demon beasts are excellent, but they are quite expensive; an ordinary cultivator can’t afford them.”
“The target customers must be all sorts of prodigies making their first trip to Mountain River Academy.”
After hearing the mustached man’s words, Chen Changsheng took another look at him.
“Flying demon beasts sound interesting; I’ll give it a try.”
“How much are they?”
“Not expensive, just 8,888 Divine Source per ride.”
“8,000 Divine Source? Are you crazy?!”
Upon hearing this number, Qian Ya instantly became displeased.
“Are you treating us like fat sheep to be slaughtered?”
“The maximum price for a flying demon beast in Mountain River City is only about 2,000 Divine Source; what makes you think you can charge 8,000?”
Seeing that Qian Ya was about to argue with the mustached man, Chen Changsheng raised his hand to stop her.
“8,000 Divine Source is reasonable; pay up!”
With those words from Chen Changsheng, Qian Ya momentarily didn’t know what to say.
Ultimately, Qian Ya could only reluctantly pull out the money.
“8,000 Divine Source, you really dare to ask for that.”
“Just wait; I’ll report you to Mountain River Academy.”
Facing Qian Ya’s threat, the mustached man cheerfully accepted the Divine Source.
“The customer is joking; if I could do this business, it means I have someone behind me.”
“If I were afraid of your report, I wouldn’t be in this business.”
“By the way, hurry up and get on; the flying demon beast is about to take off.”
At the mustached man’s words, Qian Ya twitched her lips and finally boarded the flying demon beast unwillingly.
For her, 8,000 Divine Source was indeed not much.
And if she revealed her identity, this man would definitely refund her money.
However, as a bl**d Transfer Realm cultivator, it would be too embarrassing to threaten others over a few thousand Divine Source.
…
On the back of the demon beast.
“Whoosh~”
The strong wind swept over, and the scenery below rapidly flashed by.
“Young Master, although we aren’t short on money, we shouldn’t waste it like this.”
“That man clearly treated us as fat sheep; why did you agree?”
In response to Qian Ya’s complaints, Chen Changsheng smiled as he looked at the distant mountains.
“Sometimes, don’t get too caught up in gains and losses; observe the details around you carefully.”
“To you present, flying demon beasts are definitely not astonishing.”
“But before the Great Destruction War, this was something unimaginable.”
“At that time, the Beast Clan was the world’s hegemon, and no spirit would dare ride on their backs to fly.”
“Now, to experience this feeling for just 8,000 Divine Source is simply a bargain, wouldn’t you agree, Potato?”
Chen Changsheng looked at Hu Tudou, who was silently beside him.
Hu Tudou touched the demon beast below and smiled, “This 8,000 Divine Source is indeed worth it; it’s quite interesting.”
With the two agreeing on this, Qian Ya immediately closed her mouth obediently.
After all, it was only 8,000 Divine Source; it wasn’t worth arguing with the two seniors over such a small amount.
Her goal was to successfully complete the mission and then gain great opportunities.
